Conference
[Mount of Justice : 03/08/2010]
07:30 A.M.
At the base where the newly formed Team of young heroes resided, they were all gathered, as their first official mission was being given by the Dark Knight himself, and they were all excited for their first mission.
"I believe everyone is aware of recent events, you should know these two." Batman said as images of Roberto da Costa the Sunspot and the President of Brazil appeared on the holographic screen.
"This is Sunspot when in marital status, he and President Luiz are coming to the United States on a UN call to discuss Brazil's actions in taking Santa Prisca." Batman explained.
"Wow, this is going to be one hell of a meeting." Kid Flash said sarcastically.
"What is our mission sir?" Aqualad asked politely.
"Basically protection and surveillance." Batman said, leaving the young people surprised.
"Look Batman, I know I might be going overboard here, but you're kidding right?" Kid Flash asked shocked.
"Batman, as far as we've seen this guy can protect himself, and still take care of his president." Robin said confused.
"The protection is a cover for you to watch and gather any useful information, before the conference the two will be at a party funded by Lex Luthor." Batman said ending the discussions.
"You must be one hundred percent focused, this is a mission that can provide the League with an idea of how to deal with the changes that are taking place." Batman spoke making clear the importance of their mission.
The five waved and understand the situation, they withdrew and went towards the Bio Ship, a ship from the planet of Miss Mars, it was the official vehicle of the group and they used it in their first battle against a super villain. After fastening their seat belts they were ready, they took off and Miss Martian headed towards New York.
[New York : 08/03/2010]
07:37 A.M.
The Bio Ship was flying over the city, it was in camouflage mode, allowing them to go unnoticed, which would be useful in the mission they were in, they went towards the building that would be held for Lex Luthor's party. They landed in a building close enough that they could keep watch and prepare.
"You know, of all the things we could do, this is the craziest." Kid Flash said putting on a waiter suit.
All the young people also had similar costumes, except Robin and Megan who wore fancy suits, Robin wore a suit that he always wore at parties like that, he dyed his hair blonde and wore green lenses in his eyes, and Megan wore a beautiful red dress, and used her powers to look older.
They all then took their positions, the older looking ones entered as waiters, while Robin and Megan disguised themselves among high society, they saw many familiar faces like Bruce Wayne, Oliver Queen, Ted Cord and in the center of the crowd was their target, Eduardo da Costa the Sunspot
"Haha!!, people people, please, one at a time, one question at a time." Sunspot said while laughing at the guests.
"Sir da Costa!!, some questions!!" A woman wearing a purple dress and skirt, long black hair and blue eyes and a discerning gaze.
This was Lois Lane, the lead investigative reporter for America 's biggest newspaper, the Daily Planet, she had managed to infiltrate this party and now she intended to get answers about this new hero, she wanted to know everything she could, and then put it in order. As honestly as possible, she believes her job is to get information out to the people and now after Santa Prisca they needed answers.
"Lois Lane right?, you are well known please ask." Sunspot allowed it, preventing the guards from taking her.
Bruce and Oliver were now paying double attention, they might get something, part of the Team was also paying attention, part of them was working on gathering information in the targets' rooms, the President was talking to other politicians while Sunspot was talking to Lois.
"You've impacted a lot of people recently, your war on drugs has touched a lot of dangerous people, but you still have a public identity, doesn't that put your loved ones at risk?" Lois started with something easy.
"Well, it would be if they were alive, for better or for worse Miss Lane, I'm alone in this world for now." Sunspot responded without flinching.
The surrounding audience fell silent, Lois had the decency to look slightly embarrassed, but it wasn't over yet, she needed to get on with it.
"His war on drugs was commendable, but it also brought many consequences for the American people, criminal acts occurred like never before, even affected Metropolis." Lois has attacked the war on drugs again.
"I'm sorry for the lives lost Miss Lane, but I believe that compared to the destruction of a criminal market that devastates my country and the countries neighboring mine, it is worth a lot, not to mention that these attacks are nothing more than a small flame that is slowly burning dying." Sunspot answered again without flinching.
Lois now understood a little of his character, he was pragmatic and even if he didn't show it the lives lost didn't seem to affect him that much. Bruce frowned, he was starting to re-evaluate how much of a problem this was going to be.
'Megan, can you read his mind?' Robin used the telepathic link to ask, using the communicator would be too risky.
'I don't know, I'm not receiving synapses from him, normally living beings emit a psychic energy that Martians can identify, but he doesn't emit that, but I'll try anyway.' Megan responded.
'Be careful, we don't know what effects this can cause, it can hurt him or worse, it can hurt you Megan.' Kaldur said seriously, warning his friend.
'Don't worry, I'll be careful.' Megan assured, receiving a telepathic nod from Kaldur.
"But the lost lives don't bother you Mr. da Costa? I'm sure many heroes would have a weight on your conscience." Lois continued with the questions.
"No offense Miss Lane, but the majority of deaths have come from criminals, as sad as it is for these lives to be taken by crime, it is a fact that the real problem is the American justice system." Sunspot responded by smiling, leaving some individuals baffled.
"After all, how many times your super villains cause chaos and destruction around the world, how many of those Individuals couldn't be productive for society, if they didn't live in a place that forced them to, look at Gotham, most are a bunch of Poor bastards, Killer Croc, Mister Freeze, Poison Ivy, Harley Queen, they all could have had great lives, but if they got lost in the hell that is that town, I honestly wouldn't mind blowing it up." Sunspot said coldly.
Everyone looked surprised at the hero's indifference, not expecting that kind of feeling nor in relation to one of his most famous cities, Robin and Bruce clenched their fists, because despite finding his way of talking about his city insulting, they could not contradict nothing.
"Well...most don't think so." Lois tried to defend.
"I'm not most Miss Lane, that's why I came here with President Luiz, I believe that together we can shape South America into something more livable and humanly comfortable, we are here merely to answer some legal questions from Santa Prisca." Sunspot said, dropping that bombshell, but then his expression turned serious.
'Megan!!' Robin asked, startled seeing Megan's blank stare.
She was now in a different space, no longer in the ballroom, but in a huge green pasture, with a clear blue sky and a bright yellow sun. She looked around and didn't see anyone, she figured that was subconsciously targeting me.
"You know, I know American heroes have a lot of courage, but an old saying is that the line between courage and folly is thin, now tell me young lady what's on my pretty mind?" Sunspot asked appearing behind Megan, startling her.
"You're Martian Manhunter's niece, right? You guys do look alike apart from the paler coloring." Sunspot said mysteriously.
Megan went pale, even though it was just a psychic image, she couldn't understand how he had found out about her ethnicity, there was no way, she hadn't even revealed it to her uncle J'onn.
"Don't be so scared girl, I'm still a hero after all, and a Latino man, I understand the feeling well, being marginalized is not a pleasant feeling, but I find it strange that a world of shapeshifters has this problem." Sunspot said while using an ironic tone of voice, Megan didn't respond yet scared.
"Look, I won't tell your secret if you promise not to try to get into my mind again, because I might even let it go once, a second time and...well you know how Martians are sensitive to high temperatures." To prove her point the landscape's weather has gotten quite hot, and Megan can't help but break out in a sweat.
"Now go back to your friends, and tell them there's nothing in my room, if they want to have something really worthy of attention, I suggest they see my exhibition in three days from now in Santa Prisca." Sunspot said, pushing Megan out of his mind back to reality Megan couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead, exhausted from all the running, Robin beside her tried to support her, but then was surprised by the strength she put on his arm.
'Aqualad, Kid, Superboy get out of there!!' She warned urgently.
But when her friends heard it was too late, they found a device, it was a Zeta Boom on a smaller scale than the one used in the Invasion of Santa Prisca, and as soon as the three young people approached the device also activated. Before they could react they were covered by a golden energy of Zeta rays and disappeared, being teleported near the Bio Ship.
"What the hell !!" Kid screamed in shock.
Kaldur looked around with his batons attached, generating blades of water to defend himself against anything, while Superboy was the one affected the most, his heightened senses heightened the experience and he ended up throwing up on the edge of the building, his friends looked on in pity.
'Guys are you ok!!?' Robin asked worriedly.
'We're fine, somehow we were teleported back to the Bio Ship building, I can't imagine what other gear our target can demonstrate.' Kaldur answered calmly.
'I received orders from Batman, we're going to have to leave, the meeting will start soon, the protecting part of our mission has started.' Robin informed.
'Very well, we will be waiting.' Kaldur answered.
"Let's get ready for now, Superboy, are you okay?" Kaldur asked, but the only answer he got was more groans from Superboy, Kaldur patted his shoulder out of pity.
[United Nations Headquarters]
01:30 P.M.
The United Nations assembly was fervent, Brazil's foreign minister was never under so much pressure, President Luiz on the other hand seemed to enjoy the attention, finally these first world countries were looking at their country with a more serious eye, he switched a look with the Chinese President and both nodded to each other.
Sunspot was relaxed, even receiving looks of fear from the majority, the Senator who would chair the meeting was the British William Chester, he had completed two years that year, and now he thought it would be his most difficult meeting.
"Please order, I think we can start, but first of all I would like to introduce one more meeting participant." William said, bringing attention to himself.
"Deciding the...superhuman nature of the situation, I believe there is no one better to advise us than the world's greatest hero, please gentlemen Superman." As soon as he said that Superman walked in, wearing his iconic uniform, Sunspot couldn't help but praise the courage to wear underwear over his pants, it was admirable.
"Thank you for accepting me Senator Chester, and I thank you all for allowing me to try to bring out the best in this discussion." Superman was polite, so much so that many waved back to the man who saved them several times, President Luiz himself held him in high regard.
"No problem Superman, now that we can get started, the subject we all know needs to be discussed is the use of metahuman force in the Brazilian armed forces, I think everyone wants to debate." William said starting the meeting.
But he soon regretted it, the representatives of the countries began to argue among themselves, lie, in fact there were mainly criticisms and veiled threats to Brazil for using such a powerful Metahuman in its operations so openly to the public.
"The world doesn't need you showing off around, I suggest that Brazil pay compensation for the damage it indirectly caused in the United States." the United States Senator said.
"I'd rather they pay for all the damage caused by addicts, after all it's mostly their fault that these sufferers rioted in the first place." The Senator from Canada said.
The more complaints came, the more the Minister of Foreign Affairs became angry and indignant with these politicians, President Luiz had no reaction but his eyes were cold, as for Sunspot...he was being himself.
"So Portugal will pay for the time it colonized Brazil? , England will pay the United States for the same? , and the African countries? , will you pay the black people for the centuries of slavery and exploitation? , why have you been making peripheral countries their private garden for a long time, impeding industrial development and sanctioning our foreign relations." Sunspot simply said, silencing many.
"We are not going to lie here my friends, after all it is the UN, the organization that served to prevent a third world war, but ended up just serving as a tool for malicious individuals, and their interests, you would all be very happy if Brazil had failed, but he didn't fail, deal with it, we're going to keep developing and Latin America as a whole, it's time to end this dependency." Sunspot said, this time with a serious face.
William Chester slammed his gavel trying to bring peace back, he didn't expect everyone to be so skin deep, Superman who was watching also looked worried. The alien hero seemed to be in a great conflict, he couldn't think of ways to relieve the tension of the situation, until something came to him.
"If those are your concerns, then I as a founding member can offer a recommendation for Mister Sunspot to join the Justice League." Superman tried to bring Sunspot over to the side of the heroes, as he also always tried to stay out of those kinds of issues.
"I am sincerely flattered Superman, I do not deny all the good that the League has done and does in the world, but unfortunately I will have to." Sunspot shocked everyone by turning down the dream of many budding heroes, even Superman was surprised.
"May...may I know why?" The Kryptonian was genuinely curious.
"Joining the League would be limiting me, think of Aquaman, he has to protect the world and Atlantis at the same time, but that's where the controversy comes in, because currently one of the biggest polluters in the world is the United States, and the oil industries." Sunspot began to explain, again poking the United States and the countries that explore for oil.
"I would find myself in a similar situation, not having time for my homeland, and so I intend to create my own super group, not only of heroes, but with scientists, explorers, adventurers, and the best in their respective fields, I intend to extend my invitation to anyone who wants to enter, we will be acting not only for the good of humanity, but for the planet as well." Sunspot finished his explanation, leaving the hall in silence.
"For this reason, a part of Santa Prisca will be dedicated to being a base for this organization, and also to encourage research and development throughout Brazil, and Latin America, which is why I announced that Brazil will stop using oil as a source of energy." President Luiz announced.
"This is crazy!!" Shouted several countries that sell and export oil, earning billions every year, to hear that a country would completely stop using this resource was madness.
"It's not crazy, it's already happening, we are also starting projects with a technology that will revolutionize architecture, everything has been in progress for months, that's why I invite everyone to come to our capital, see the results of our efforts." President Luiz finished, and then the Brazilian delegation withdrew from the place, leaving a very frantic group behind.
When the members of the entourage were outside, it was very difficult to see that a few buildings away an armed man was aiming at them, he wore a red suit with white details, along with a white mask with binoculars in his left eye.
Floyd Lawton, or Deadshot the self-proclaimed greatest marksman in the world, his shots were so accurate they could hit moving flies, and now he had the president of Brazil in his sights. He had the latest assault rifle on the market, direct from LexCorp, and he knew he would do some serious damage.
He then took aim and fired, the bullet so fast that he barely saw it leave the barrel of the gun, but he was in for a shocking surprise at the end of the day.
