The Legion turned and saw the perpetrator: Batman alongside the Justice League.
"Hi, Grodd!" Flash waved.
"Let them go, Grodd." Superman warned him.
"The Justice League has finally arrived." Grodd mused he looked around and saw that the Seven were almost gone. Clayface still had Noir inside of him.
"You heard me. Let them go." Superman told the uplifted ape once more.
The Legion held the Seven as hostages.
"Caring even for their lives, how predictable. Now if you'll excuse us, we will leave." Grodd told them as he started to look for something attached to his belt.
"Sorry Grodd, but your teleportation trip has just been delayed." Flash said as he showed the Legion a remote.
Grodd snarled at the scarlet speedster.
"If it's all the same with you, I'd prefer to fight the real deal." Black Manta said as he walked up to get a closer view of Aquaman. His helmet fired an ocular blast at the King of the Seas knocking him away from the rest of the League.
"Oh, I agree." Cheetah said before lunging at Wonder Woman.
Diana sidestepped and grabbed the villainess by the tail and threw her into one of the trailers. All the while, the rest of the League fought their respective enemies. Most notable was, Superman who sucker-punched Bizarro and brought him up in the air.
"Stand down Barbara." Wonder Woman warned the former archeologist.
Cheetah ignored her warning and ran to Diana on all fours full speed ahead. Diana blocked her claws with her gauntlets, creating sparks with each counter. Cheetah managed to nick Diana's left cheek. A small trickle of blood ran down the Amazon's cheek.
"I have to say, Diana, you're putting up more of a fight than your counterpart did." Cheetah said.
Diana did not dignify Cheetah's statement with a response. When Cheetah tried to claw her, the Amazonian princess ducked out of the way and delivered an uppercut. Sending Cheetah flying up in the air. Diana lifted off into the air and began to follow her.
Batman ducked an axe strike from Clayface before dodging to the left from a hammer made by Clayface.
"I take it that you have been undercover at Vought." Batman told the shapeshifter.
"What gave it away?" Clayface responded by picking up a forklift and throwing it at Batman. Batman jumped out of the way and threw a batarang at Karlo's face. It embedded itself in his face.
"I suspected any number of shapeshifters would try to infiltrate Vought. The Executive you impersonated doesn't have access to Vought's top secrets. Someone set you up, and I don't think it's Stan Edgar." Batman said.
Batman's deduction managed to get to Clayface.
"I'll be sure to tell Grodd that after I kill you." Clayface said as he tried to jump on top of Batman.
Batman rolled out of the way and used his grapnel gun on a nearby rooftop. Batman turned the gun onto Clayface and fired. The line wrapped itself around Black Noir who was still inside of Karlo. Using all of his might, Batman managed to free Noir. When Clayface attempted to get his hostage back, the batarang previously thrown at Clayface electrocuted him.
Clayface let out a scream of pain before turning into a puddle as Batman went to Black Noir and picked him up. He checked his pulse and saw that Noir was still breathing, but he was unconscious. He took out his League teleportation device from his belt and used it on Noir.
"I need someone to get Noir medical attention, now." Batman told the League.
Batman turned over to Clayface and saw that he was starting to regain his shape. A fist flew at Batman managing to hit the Caped Crusader. Batman was knocked against the green screen.
"Poor choice, Batman. You really should have left with him." Clayface said.
"I won't need to, Karlo." Batman told the shapeshifter in front of him, eyes narrowing in determination.
Superman and Bizarro were up in the sky with the Man of Steel lifting his backward doppelganger into the upper atmosphere in a full-nelson.
"Bizarro am glad to see Superman. Bizarro wants to help Superman." Bizarro said.
"You're thinking straight." Superman told his clone.
Usually Bizarro was more of a nuisance, rarely if ever malevolent. Grodd likely had him under telepathic control on some level.
Bizarro freed himself by elbowing Superman's face and knocking Superman back. Bizarro fired his ice beams at Clark, only for Superman to use his heat vision to counter it. Both red and blue ocular beams struggle for supremacy.
"J'onn, Bizarro is under some sort of influence, by Grodd. I need you to free him." Superman told Martian Manhunter.
"I will do what I can." Martian Manhunter said.
Bizarro then tackled Superman in an attempt to bring him down to the ground.
Flash ran around the movie lot trying to block out Grodd's telepathic assault. His head started to feel a migraine from it. He stopped trying to focus when he saw Grodd's shadow in front of him.
The Gorilla punched the trailer but Flash managed to dodge it. Grodd threw a trashcan at the Crimson tornado, but once more Flash dodged it. Only for Grodd to hit Flash with a swing of his arm knocking the speedster into a car.
"I'm in your mind Flash, I'll rip your psyche apart and eat your brain after I kill you." Grodd told Flash telepathically.
"I think not." J'onn said.
Grodd let out a roar of pain clutching his head before regaining his wit.
"You won't stop me, Martian." Grodd said.
"Maybe, but I can stop you." Flash said before punching the gorilla in the face.
As Grodd laid down on the ground, a light on his crown blinked.
"Before you start, Flash. I thought it would be best to let you know I placed fifteen bombs throughout this city, and I just activated them. You only have one minute to disarm them before they level this city." Grodd told Flash.
With that said, The Flash ran off in search of the explosives.
"Grodd soon entered the astral plane where he saw the Martian Manhunter waiting.
"I do not expect that number to be fully accurate." J'onn said.
"I might have exaggerated the amount. Might." Grodd said.
Green Lantern and Polaris flew through the sky. Polaris used his powers to throw debris at John only for Green Lantern to shield himself with a forcefield construct that surrounded him like a green bubble. Polaris fired an electrical blast at Green Lantern knocking him back, only for Green Lantern to counter with a blast from his ring.
"Give up Polaris." John Stewart told the supervillain.
"I have no intention of surrender, Green Lantern." Polaris said. "I want to see your will compares to one of the key forces of the universe!" He shouted as he unleashed a magnetic pulse that shook New York. Not the city, the entire island.
Green Lantern covered the city with his ring, every single detail. Trying to counter Polaris' attack.
"You'll find my will is greater than that!" Green Lantern said. "You seem to have forgotten that this ring doesn't just make constructs." He said focusing on stabilizing the city.
Polaris let out a roar of anger as he tried to manipulate the ores inside of the island to lift it from the sea. Only for the will emanating from the power ring to prevent him from doing so. Eventually, Polaris ceded. Sweat poured down his head only to be sucker punched by an energy blast emanating from a sniper rifle construct.
"I warned you." Green Lantern said.
Back in Gotham, The Joker and Harley Quinn were watching the events unfold on TV. The Seven were being moved to a hospital. In Joker's hand was a box of popcorn.
"Now that was a train wreck… I loved it!" Joker said eating out of a box of popcorn.
"My favorite part was when the fish rapey guy lost his arm. What about you Mistah J?" Harley asked.
"Everything that happened to Homeboy." Joker said.
Circe teleported into the room. A look of displeasure on her face.
"Oh hello there." Joker said, ignoring her look of annoyance.
"What is this?" Circe demanded.
"Hey! This isn't my fault if you want to get mad at Donkey Grodd and his friends, not me. It's their fault Homeboy and pals got their butts handed to them." Joker said.
"What about Maeve is she dead?" Circe asked.
"Nah, I think she's still kickin'. Says so on Vought's Twitter, see?" Harley told her showing the
Goddess her phone.
"The Seven are alright thanks to the Justice League""Granted Cheetah used Wonderfraud as her own personal scratching post, so that remains to be seen." Joker brought up.
"I am going to flay that wretched little avatar if she killed Maeve." Circe angrily said.
"You know it's not my place to say this, but do you Double dub rogues have boundaries to your plans. We have that in Gotham, granted the only way to get that message across is violence, but still..." Joker said.
"Silence! Just make sure Elena's alive." Circe demanded.
"Sure thing." Joker said with a salute until a curious look developed on the clown's face.
"Though how alive are we talking about here? Like if Maeve pulls through she won't get too upset if Elena's missing a finger or an ear, right?" Joker asked.
Circe pinched her temple.
"Just hold off on doing anything to Elena until word comes out that Maeve is alive." Circe told Joker before teleporting elsewhere.
The Flash ran around the emerald-illuminated New York City. Presently, he was at the Radio City Music Hall. He found a bomb planted on one of the stage lights. He ran outside to the Hudson River and dropped all of the bombs. So far he had found four bombs. Flash then ran across all of Manhattan double checking for any bombs. It only took him a literal second, but he managed.
"I've finished looking through Manhattan, I'll start looking through the Bronx now." He told the other members of the League.
"I would suggest you hurry." Martian Manhunter told Flash.
"Don't worry, I already found three." Flash told him.
He was now halfway done with his search in the Bronx. A second later, Wally had finished.
"Do you think Grodd was lying about the amount?" Flash asked.
"I suspect he is." Martian Manhunter said.
"I meant that there might be more." Flash said.
"I will look into that matter." J'onn said.
Soldier Boy looked through binoculars on their boat, they were going to Rikers Island where he saw supe-division of the prison. With him were Butcher, Hughie, Manchester, Trickster, Frenchie, and Captain Boomerang.
"Can't believe they arrested Thing 1 and Thing 2 over Herogasm." Soldier Boy said.
"Arse-fucking people to death is sort of frowned upon, mate." Captain Boomerang said.
"When I started Herogasm, the whole point was to bring in supes to fuck all night without restraint. Of course, with those twin fucks taking care of it, it went to shit." Soldier Boy said.
"You started Herogasm?" Frenchie asked.
"Me and a supe named Liberty. Damn, she was a firecracker."
"Thanks for ruining it for me."
"Guys, can we have a talk?" Hughie asked.
Hughie, Butcher, and Frenchie went to the lower deck of the boat, away from the rest of the Suicide Squad.
"So?" Hughie whispered. "What's the plan?"
"I'll cause a blackout." Frenchie said. "Trickster will hack into their system so the League won't know…"
"No!" Hughie said and immediately regretted saying it too loudly. "I mean, we won't actually help this guy, right? It's Soldier Boy, he's basically vintage Homelander."
"We don't have a choice," Butcher said and pointed to the scar on his neck where Waller implanted the bomb.
"You have a choice." Trickster said he stood behind them on the stairs to the lower deck. "Granted, they're mostly not great choices but they are there."
"Grown-up talk, fuck off." Butcher told him.
"Keep hurting my feelings, man. Now, for the choices, how about a prison break during the prison in?"
"What about MM and Kimiko?" Hughie asked.
"Don't worry, Hughie." Butcher said. "We're not going anywhere with spikey-head." Butcher walked towards him and faced down the Trickster. "Because we're not fucking dense to trust a bloke who call himself the Trickster."
Trickster smirked, despise, shame, he didn't know the proper response until he said.
"Hey, you've been bitched by every single supervillain in Gotham and got your ass kicked by Deathstroke. Maybe you should see you're not hot shit and I'm the bigger fish on this pod."
Butcher pushed Trickster and he fell with his back on the stairs. Butcher walked up and was followed by Hughie and Frenchie.
On the upper deck, Captain Boomerang ate popcorn and watched footage of the Justice League fighting the Legion of Doom on the set of 'Dawn of the Seven', Soldier Boy watched it curiously.
"That's Superman? He's wearing a cape." Soldier Boy said.
"HA!" Manchester Black laughed. "He could rip your head off with a punch."
"Hey, troll doll, Waller sent you with the rest of the losers. Kicking your ass doesn't prove he's tough."
Manchester's eyes lit up green and the boat shook, Soldier Boy didn't say a word, just showed Black the screen with his picture and threatened to press the button.
"Didn't your old sweetie wear a cape?" Harkness asked
"That's how I knew she was up to do anal."
Butcher watched the footage, but didn't pay much attention to it until they showed the Seven. They were being rushed to the hospital, they looked destroyed and broken. Frenchie laughed, but Butcher didn't, his breath got heavier, angrier.
"Mercier Butcher, aren't you happy about this?" Frenchie questioned.
"They saved him." Butcher said. "Homelander was about to die, and the Justice League saved him."
Grodd and Martian Manhunter were in the middle of a telepathic duel. Grodd was surrounded by a psionic wall, that the Martian was unable to break through. Then the wall burst into flames, J'onn walked back. A trauma had apparently woken up. Horrible memories began to flood his psyche, which was all Grodd wanted. Until, the Martian grew a pair of hands that grabbed the Ape's projection allowing J'onn a glimpse into Grodd's mind.
Until, J'onn was stomped on by Giganta. As well as five more times just to be safe.
"I think I got him." She told Grodd.
Only for Martian Manhunter to appear out of thin air, Giganta tried to swat him, but her efforts were in vain as the Martian turned himself intangible. J'onn knocked her down with one punch to the chin before telepathically looking into her mind.
"Flash, there are more bombs. I could not get the location or amount, but there are more." He told The Flash.
"Thanks, I appreciate it J'onn. Did you get the time?" Flash asked.
"Two minutes." Martian Manhunter said.
Aquaman charged at Black Manta, tackling him through a truck.
"I've been waiting for this a long time, your highness." Manta said as two blades came out from his wrist gauntlets.
"For once you and I are in agreement." Arthur said.
Aquaman's hook and Mantas' blades clashed sparks igniting with each blow.
"Have to say, you're doing pretty well without the other hand." Manta taunted.
Arthur shot his hook at the left blade, breaking it.
"You love to bring that encounter up, but I proved then and there that I can beat you with one hand." Aquaman said before punching Manta down the street. Manta collided with a fire hydrant. The two archenemies got into a knife fight. Manta managed to leave a cut on Arthur's pectoral.
"I have to say, fighting the rip-off was unsatisfying. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Couldn't even imagine it was you whose arm I blasted off and stabbed in the gut." Manta said.
"Is this supposed to be another taunt?" Aquaman questioned.
"No, just wanted to make it clear that I am no bottom feeder. There's no fun in fighting a guy who can only kill time." Manta said, blasting Aquaman into a building.
"But I am going to enjoy this." Manta said.
Clayface chased Batman into one of the studio warehouses.
"What did Grodd promise you, Karlo?" Batman's voice echoed throughout the warehouse.
"What do you think? A cure." Clayface told Batman.
"I can help you." Batman told him.
"Don't give me that crap. You've told me that for years, and look where we are now. Still playing the same game, both of us chasing one another." Clayface told Batman.
"We can end it here now." Batman pleaded.
Clayface was taken aback by this despite how recurring this was.
"I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind." Karlo told Batman. "It's funny, you know, being back at a movie set. Reminds me of the good old days. Sure I'd never star in something like this, but it's still nostalgic to me." He added.
There was a momentary silence.
"Then, I'm sorry." Batman said.
All of a sudden two objects were thrown at Clayface. Before he could react, Clayface felt his body freeze. He tried to save himself, but he was practically an ice sculpture.
"This is Batman. I've stopped Clayface." He told the rest of the League looking regretful at the man he defeated.
Batman noticed something on a nearby storage box, and thinking it could be useful he grabbed it.
Frenchie had his toolbox on the side, he operated on the power sources of the prison. With a few touches of him, the lights went out.
"We're in." He said through his earpiece.
"Not according to the security system we don't." Trickster replied.
Trickster watched the prison through the cameras' operation room. The guards were knocked out, Hughie and Butcher zip-cuffed them. On the screens, Soldier Boy and Manchester Black walked by the cells, and guards ran towards them, Black made one movement with his hand, and the guards were thrown against the bars and knocked out. Manchester touched his earpiece and whispered.
"This cunt is gonna have our heads popped." He told the others. "Waller made a huge mistake putting this demented freak in charge."
"I don't like him either but he seems to be doing fine." Hughie said. "The plan worked just like he planned."
"Until his PTSD is triggered." Butcher said
"How do you know he has PTSD?" Trickster asked.
"I saw it on some blokes back when I worked for the crown, the signs are subtle but they're there." Butcher explained.
"What do you think would trigger his PTSD?"
"Fuck if I know, my bet is that he'll go atomic the second something reminds him of what the Reds did to him for the past 30 years."
Wonder Woman flew to Central Park where Cheetah had just crash-landed. Wasting no time, she got up and lunged at Diana knocking the Amazon to the ground. She managed to cut Diana's shoulder, but Diana responded in kind by headbutting Cheetah. Her tiara hit Minerva in the head. Causing Cheetah to stumble back, Diana swept Cheetah's leg knocking her to the ground. Diana then pinned Cheetah to the ground.
"No!" She let out struggling.
Diana used her lasso to bind Cheetahs' limbs together.
"It's over, Barbara." Diana told her.
Cheetah struggled to free herself.
"I hope this is the last time we find ourselves in this situation." Diana said.
Cheetah looked almost regretful.
"We both know that day won't happen." She bitterly replied.
"I think it will." Wonder Woman said.
"How are the Seven doing?" Wonder Woman asked.
"Still recovering in the hospital from what I've heard." Superman told her.
Tessa TNT was on her bed reading an issue of Playboy Magazine published before Reagan's government when her cell opened. Her brother Tommy was hurled on her and they both fell from the bed. When they got up, they faced Soldier Boy standing in front of them.
"Ben…?" Tessa said.
"Hello, kids, time for a family reunion." Soldier Boy said.
Digger Harkness watched the prison from the boat with his binoculars while he complained to himself about being left as a lookout instead of Hughie. He noticed movement in the prison, armored guards going to the supe-division. He touched his earpiece.
"Listen up, there's a bunch of guards going in your direction!" He told them.
Butcher and Hughie got the message and Butcher grabbed Trickster by the collar.
"You said we were invisible!" He yelled.
"Invisible, I never said they couldn't hear, smell or taste us." Trickster replied. "Better run, I'll deal with a distraction."
When Butcher and Hughie left the monitor room, Trickster grabbed one of the guard's phones and searched 'Russian music' on Spotfy as he turned on the speakers.
"It was Noir!" Tommy TNT yelled. "It was all his idea!"
"Noir?" Soldier Boy said incredulously. "Noir doesn't take a shit unless Vought allows him."
"It's the truth." Tessa said.
"We have to go." Black said but Soldier Boy ignored. "You heard me, wanker? Finish them off or let them go."
"Why don't shut the f…?" Soldier Boy started saying but was interrupted by Russian music playing. His mind drifted away and a light appeared on his, that was the moment Manchester Black ran.
"I bloody knew it."
"Give me your hand." Tessa told her brother.
"It's been years." He replied.
"Do you wanna die!?"
The twin held hands and pointed their others at Soldier, together they said:
"TNT Detonate!"
Nothing but a pitiful spark out of their palms. And then, boom, an explosion out of Soldier Boy's body wiped out the TNT Twins along most of the yard. When Soldier Boy got back to his senses, he wasn't sure what happened but the screen on his arm was beeping, he checked there was a picture of Trickster with the warning 'DEAD' under it.
Flash ran back and forth throughout New York checking each and every borough. So far he had found most of them and only had a minute left. As he ran across Staten Island, a thought had occurred in the Flash's mind. Perhaps, Grodd was lying about the number of bombs. There was only one way to prove that, Wally ran to the sea and dropped the bombs Grodd had into the Atlantic Ocean before running back to New York with thirty seconds to spare using just about most of his speed. Almost immediately, he was back at the movie set and punched Grodd knocking him into a trailer. Grodd angrily got up.
"J'onn now!" Flash called out to the Martian Manhunter who began to scan Grodd's mind.
"Well?" Flash asked.
"Twenty bombs." J'onn said.
Flash let out a sigh of relief.
"I got them." He said.
Martian Manhunter was knocked into a building by Giganta. Grodd then began to telepathically assault the Flash's mind. Flash let out a scream of pain, as Grodd charged at Flash.
Flash managed to dodge, but only barely.
"Fast as you are Flash, even you can't outrace the speed of thought." Grodd told Flash.
"Maybe, so, but we've had this same song and dance routine before. Not just with me too." Flash said.
"This time it will end, I will tear your mind and body apart." Grodd said.
Flash was knocked back into the studio's fence.
Superman and Bizarro were fighting across the globe. Right now they were flying over the Pacific Ocean. Bizarro's flight pattern was erratic, he was literally zig-zagging. Picking up speed, Clark got under Bizarro and punched him with all his might. A sonic boom emerged from the impact as Bizarro was launched into orbit. Superman followed him and the two began to exchange blows.
"J'onn, Bizarro is under some sort of telepathic control. I need your help to free him." Superman telepathically told Martian Manhunter.
Martian Manhunter was dealing with Giganta who was about to stomp on him, only for Wonder Woman to appear and lift Giganta's foot.
"Go, I can handle this." She told J'onn.
J'onn nodded and flew up into orbit. There he saw Superman and Bizarro wrestling with one another.
The fight between Aquaman and Black Manta had now reached the docks. Both men jumped into the water and the fight continued from there. Just then, Mantas' fleet began to appear. The subs began to fire lasers and torpedoes at Aquaman. The submarines were then flipped over by a pod of Humpback whales.
Manta and Aquaman began to exchange blows, their punches sending shockwaves throughout the sea at least one hundred miles. Aquaman tackled the sea pirate down to the sea floor before delivering a punch to the gut.
Manta fired a laser blast at Aquaman sending him back some yards.
"This isn't your turf." Manta said.
"Maybe, but the locals know how to address a king." Aquaman said.
Just then the tentacles of a colossal squid wrapped its tentacles around Manta. Manta attempted to free himself, but was knocked out by a punch from the king.
Aquaman put Manta on his shoulders and swam back to the coast on the back of a Humpback Whale.
Green Lantern and Polaris fought in the sky. Polaris fired energy blasts at Green Lantern, but Green Lantern's shield proved too much. Green Lantern fired a beam at Polaris, but unlike the other ones, this one lingered on Polaris draining his energy. Polaris could feel himself losing strength, when he noticed an airplane not far. Using the last bit of strength, he shut off the plane's power.
"Damn, you!" John Stewart said as he flew over to the downed plane.
GL used his ring to restore power to the plane. Then he used it to make sure to protect the plane in case it could not stabilize from free fall, by covering it with an energy shield. Polaris flew into view. John Stewart eyed something else in the distance. Green Lantern fired another beam at Polaris, but this one had no effect.
"What kind of construct were you even trying to make?" Polaris taunted.
"A fulton." Green Lantern said.
Just then, the construct created a parachute that opened up. The parachute then latched onto a plane construct created by Guy Gardner.
"I'll take this asshole to jail." Gardner said.
"No problem." Green Lantern said.
Green Lantern used his ring to help guide the plane back into flight.
Later, Soldier Boy was at the boat with the others, he was confused. They were being followed by boats from Rykers but that didn't bother him.
"What happened back there?" Soldier Boy asked.
"You killed Trickster, that's what." Captain Boomerang said.
"Me and Hughie would've been dead too if we didn't leave on time." Butcher said.
Captain Boomerang got a call on his cellphone.
"Hey there, Digger." Trickster said. "I'll need somebody to take this thing off my wrist before Waller beam us up, where do I find the Rogues here?"
"Slimey lad." Harkness said, proud. "How did you do it?"
"I had to actually die for the bomb to deactivate."
15 minutes earlier
Trickster was in the prison's nursery taking his shirt off, the nurse kept looking at the bomb.
"Hey," Trickster told him. "Look at me, you do what I say and I'll turn it off."
The nurse got startled with the explosion, from the window he could see the entire area where Soldier Boy killed the TNT Twins.
"Now." Trickster ordered and the nurse grabbed the defibrillator.
Flash dodged a laser blast from Grodd.
"Even you can't run forever." Grodd warned the Flash.
"Oh yeah, watch me." Flash responded.
"You've been played Grodd." Batman said standing on top of one of the trailers.
Grodd turned over to Batman.
"What are you babbling about human?" Grodd questioned.
"The V-24 you've been looking for, someone told Vought to place it here. The executive you had Clayface impersonate didn't have access to it, but for some reason Vought allowed him to." Batman said.
Grodd looked at Batman seeing his logic.
"I'll have to look into that manner after your death." Grodd said.
Grodd began to telepathically assault Batman's mind bringing the Caped Crusaders to his knees as he fought back.
"Your resolve is impressive Batman, but it's a shame you're still only human." Grodd said. He turned over to Flash "Both of you."
Just then, Batman pressed a detonator causing the on-set pyrotechnics to go off. Distracting Grodd and allowing the Flash to sucker punch him.
Grodd was knocked out in the middle of the green screen.
Flash and Batman managed to re-collect themselves.
"You alright, Bruce?" Flash asked.
"I'm fine." Batman said.
Wonder Woman managed to overpower Giganta and began to punch while flying in the air. Plastic Man was on the scene helping out with evacuation.
"Come on people let's move it!" He told the crowd turning his hand into a megaphone.
Diana uppercut Giganta, but Giganta managed to catch Diana in her hands when recovering. She started to squeeze eliciting Diana to groan in pain.
"Got you!" Giganta said.
Just then, Wonder Woman threw her tiara at Giganta freeing Diana. Just as Giganta was about to recover she felt something wrapped tightly around her legs, Plastic Man.
"Timber!" He yelled out as Giganta began to trip.
Diana flew up just as she was about to fall down. She hit her in the solar plexus causing Giganta to gasp before blacking out. Diana held Giganta in the air before gently placing her down on the ground.
"It's over Dorris." Diana said.
"It was beauty that killed the beast." Plastic Man said.
Superman and Martian Manhunter flew down with an unconscious Bizarro in the formers' arms.
"I'll be taking him to Bizarro world after this. I take it that it's over?" Superman asked.
"I'd say it is." Flash said as he met with them, Grodd now in tow.
All the members of the Legion of Doom were defeated. The blood of the Seven was still fresh on the ground and the world saw the scene from the several camera crews filming it. Somebody threw a brick at Superman's face, it broke and he reacted as if a fly flew over his face, a crowd gathered around the lot. They chanted different sentences.
"You caused this! They came from your Earth!"
"Kill these fuckers!"
"These monsters are from your universe!"
"If Homelander dies, it's on you!"
Superman nearly approached them but Batman stood between him and the crowd.
"Don't." Batman said. "Catherine will issue a statement, that's all."
"How come they're so blind?"
"You should know by now, power comes in many forms. Theirs didn't help defeat the Legion but it's right there."
Batman pressed a button on his belt and portals opened where officials from different Earth One cities waited for them. The villains were handed to authorities while the crowds yelled for their execution. From one of the portals, two identical Bizarros wearing the same distorted Superman uniforms stepped out and held Legion's Bizarro. A Bizarro just like the others came along, except he wore a plaque around his neck written 'Bizarro # 1'. Bizarro #1 gave Superman a hug, so tight he even felt uncomfortable.
"Superman! Enemy!" Bizarro #1 said.
"Hello, Bizarro." He answered.
Somebody took a picture of Superman and Bizarro hugging.
"We are not taking this loyal back to Htrae." Bizarro #1 said. "We'll make sure he escapes."
"I'm not happy to hear it." Superman said with a smile as the Bizarros took the injured villain back to Bizarro World.
Superman turned his attention to Batman.
"We should…" He started saying and noticed Batman was no longer there. "... go."
Annie saw the news on the TV in her Watchtower cell. Footage of A-Train, Stormfront, The Deep, and Homelander being carted to a hospital made her feel some joy. Until she saw Maeve, which diminished her schadenfreude. It made her feel relieved that she was no longer a member of the Seven. The League was going to decide on what to do with her soon. She had no idea what the future had in store, but she already made up her mind.
"Everything worked out just like you said, Mr. Luthor." Edgar said via hologram.
"Excellent." Luthor said as he turned around to look at the rest of the society. Edgar closed their call.
"I take it that phase two is now ready to begin?" Asked Reverse Flash an excited grin on his face.
"Right you are." Luthor said.
"Grodd and his flunkies played their alloted part well. The Seven are now seen as jokes, V-24 is ready, and the Justice League are none the wiser." Luthor said.
He held out a glass.
"To victory." He said raising a toast.
"To victory." The rest of the Society said before taking a sip.
At Vought Tower, the Seven were being treated for their injuries. All except one, who managed to heal much quicker than expected. After seeing the news on the TV, with a slight tear in his eye, Homelander flew up to the roof and pulled down his pants.
"I'm the strongest! I'm the strongest! There's no one stronger than me! No one! No one better than me!" He told himself as he pleasured himself all while tears started going down his eyes.
"NO ONE!" He said as he climaxed, his eyes now glowing red.
