This is the 49th chapter. I don't own the series of My Hero Academia or the series of Justice League.
BrianShooter672: I don't think so, some are probably high school students and some are university students in non-Hero school while the adults were doing some odd jobs when there isn't much hero work besides patrolling the city. But as for the Alien Invasion Arc? That sounds dark, but it'll be enough for the Pro Heroes getting a slap of reality.
Hall of Justice
At Washington DC, the Pro Heroes had arrived to tear down the Hall of Justice since the Hero Public Safety Commission decided to put it down, but they didn't inform the Lex Corp about it. And even if they did, the owner of Lex Corp would be furious, but little did they know, one of the workers were watching the Pro Heroes heading towards the Hall of Justice as he informed them. The angry mob notice at that as they started on their strike by pulling signs that said, 'NO MORE PRO HEROES!', 'PRO HEROES AREN'T WELCOME!', 'WE WANT REAL HEROES!'. Then, they started throwing trash and rotten food at the Pro Heroes, who don't even care about it while kept heading towards the Hall of Justice.
Inside of the Hall of Justice, Lois, Jimmy, and Drifter are right now waiting for the Justice League to arrive after the Australian vigilante warned them about the Pro Heroes arrival. But once the teleporter activates, Superman (Clark), Superman (Jonathan), Supergirl, and the Bat Family arrived just in time. However, Lois noticed Superman (Clark) somehow was brought back from the dead as she widens her eyes in shock.
"Clark?" Lois said, earned his attention.
"Hey, honey." Clark said with a smile.
"How is it possible? We thought you're dead!" Jimmy exclaims in shock.
"It's a long story, but another time." Clark told him, then turns to Drifter. "Are you the one who send us here?"
"That's right, these wankers are on their way right now and I could use a helping hand." Drifter explains in an Australian accent. "And sorry that this is a bad circumstances for introductions. The names Tony Harkness, but everyone calls be 'Dundee'."
"As in-"
"Yes, as in 'Crocodile Dundee' from the movie! Honestly, it's a nickname and I get it a lot." Tony told him in annoyance, sighed. "Anyway, we need to get ready for a fight."
"But shouldn't the mayor know about this?" Batgirl questions.
"The people of Metropolis are the big supporters of the Super Family and the Justice League, they've been keeping a watchful eye on the Pros." Lois explains. "Also, we were gathering information of their dark secrets, then have them arrested."
"How long?" Batman asks.
"2 years." Lois answered quickly.
"You know you're playing a dangerous game." Batman points out.
"I know, but it's a risk we're willing to take." Lois told him.
"And it's worth it." Jimmy adds.
Then, the sound of an angry mob was heard as they turned to the source, knowing that the Pro Heroes are just about here in the Hall of Justice.
"I guess a little reunion will have to wait." Clark said with a serious glare. "Right now, we've got to take care of these guys. And I think it's time to let them know the Justice League are still alive."
And with that being said, the Super Family, the Bat Family, and Drifter rushes out of the front door of the Hall of Justice, charging after the Pro Heroes.
At the conference room, a new owner named as Alex Luthor is having a discussion with Wade Eiling Jr. about the pods he's been making and how it functions.
Alex Luthor is a man in his 30s with short red hair and green eyes. He's wearing a black business suit with a shirt, black vest, and black tie underneath, black business pants, and black shoes.
"I can assure Sergeant Major Wade, these pods can only be use for emergencies and military purpose. The pods can deliver the supplies to your men whenever it's required." Alex explains, showing the image of the pod. "It'll also give you the list of what you need and the requirements. But we're still working on the functions, and the process shouldn't be rushed."
"I can understand what you're coming from, Mr. Luthor. But I'll have you know that my men would be willing to have the pod for the runs." Wade replied. "However, you shouldn't blame yourself after what your father have done in Metropolis, this is his own actions and not your burden to bear."
"Even so, I still have to clean up the mess he made for the past decades." Alex said with a sigh. "With everything he did, I still felt it's my responsibility to bear. I'm making sure that Lex Corp is in good hands and put it to good use while having to earn their trust since dad lost theirs a long time ago."
Apparently, Alex Luthor had strong hatred of his father because of him trying to kill Superman (Clark) numerous times and ended up failed for the result along with using the Kryptonite to weaken him without realizing the consequences. Lex Luthor form a plot when he rounded up the number of villains which it ended up failed because of them not getting along and thinking more about the money, awaken Amazo and have him kill the Justice League, which the plan went well at first, but after Amazo learned the truth, Lex got arrested and the android left. Once Lex was pardoned because of helping defeat the Justice Lords, he began to run a campaign for becoming the President of the US, which it was a cover up to frame the Justice League and destroyed Cadmus for his hidden agenda to make another android. However, his body was fused by Brainiac and use his powers to make a machine to absorb the information.
Of course, the Justice League was able to thwart his plain thanks to Flash and his Speed Force.
At the time, Lex Luthor escaped prison and was recruited into Gorilla Grodd's villain to resurrect Brainiac and to restore the godhood. Though, Lex is planning to betray Grodd to accelerate his plan after learning that the items he collects were turn all humans into apes, which was foiled. Lex Luthor took over the leadership and killed Gorilla Grodd while using Tala to use her magic to resurrect Brainiac, but causes to revive Darkseid. Reluctantly teaming up with the League, he was helped by Metron of New Genesis, who directed towards the Anti-Life Equation and uses it against Darkseid, vanished completely.
But after learning that his father somehow survived from the Anti-Life Equation, Lex took part of the Legion of Doom along with Gorilla Grodd to go against the Justice League which he was able to finally kill Superman (Clark). Now, Alex Luthor took over the Lex Corp to clean up the mess and try to put the company to good use which it became a huge success for Metropolis, Gotham City, Central City, and the world thanks to his genius intellect and his business management. After that, Alex became a supporter to the Justice League and the group of vigilantes who protected the world, but wish that he can do more after learning about the society of heroes, the Pro Heroes, and the HPSC which he specifically despised.
Before Wade Eilings Jr. could say anything to try to convince Alex, the secretary rushed inside of the office with a heavy pant which it got their attention.
"Mr. Luthor! We've got a problem!"
"What is it?" Alex asks with a serious glare, stood up from his chair.
"It's the Pro Heroes! They're heading toward the Hall of Justice and plans to destroy it!"
"They WHAT?!" Alex shouts angrily. "Cancel all of my appointments for today, I'm gonna deal with them myself! Had the HPSC know about this?!"
"Actually, sir, they're the ones sending them to destroy it."
It now got Alex even more furious of not being told by the HPSC since he made one thing clear that the Hall of Justice is a historical landmark for the Justice League. Alex then decided to take matters into his own hands as he makes his way toward the main lobby to ready for the limo, but Wade follows him since he too was furious about the situation.
Back at the Hall of Justice, the Pro Heroes were able to get there but not without the smell of rotten tomatoes and onions and all that garbage the angry mob have thrown. But just as they're about to enter and destroy the building, the batarangs and a boomerangs were thrown at the front and explodes, making the Pros stumbled when the Super Family flew out and knocking them down to the ground. The Pro Heroes grunted as they looked up and saw the Super Family scowling at them along with the Bat Family and Drifter revealed themselves.
"It's the Bat Family! What are they doing here in DC?!"
"They're not the only ones here!" The voice of Vibe said, earned their attention when he, Crimson Fox, and Elongated Man appeared from behind.
Eduardo Roman, known as Vibe, is a teen with muscular appearance, black short faux hawk hair style and brown eyes. He wore a leather-like material with black, yellow, and red jacket, leather pants, gauntlets, sunglasses, and black boots.
Lucinda D'Aramis is a teen woman with slender appearance with long auburn hair that reaches down to her shoulder blades and grey eyes. She wore a Crimson Fox attire that consists of a crimson bodysuit with dark crimson accents made in Kelvar, hooded cape, crimson mask, leather gloves, utility belt, and combat boots.
Randal Dibny is a lean teen with slightly build muscles, red short hair, and blue eyes. His costume consists of an adaptive nano-weave structure that's malleable on the sub-molecular level with the color of black and a hint of burgundy, black domino mask, black leather gloves, and black boots.

The Pro Heroes turned their heads and knowing they're being surrounded by the Justice League, including the three new vigilantes. With no other options, the Pro Heroes charges at them and the Super Family, the Bat Family, Drifter, Vibe, Crimson Fox, and Elongated Man did the same. Superman (Clark) delivered a punch one of the Pro Heroes hard in a jaw and then uses a 2 punch combo, leaving the Pro Hero stumbled when Superman (Jonathan) tosses the second Pro Hero right at the other Pro Hero, sent them flying to the ground and knocked out.
Crimson Fox kicks the Pro Hero in a sternum, causing him to cough the air out of his mouth. After that, Crimson Fox kicked him in the knee and follows it up with 2 hard punches in a jaw. The Pro Hero tried to attack her from behind, which she dodges with a backflip and Elongated Man stretched his arm to deliver a punch.
The 3 Pro Heroes charges after Vibe, but he generates his power to fire a concussive blast of vibrations, sending them flying and Supergirl tosses the Pro Hero right at them, knocking them out as they crashes down to the ground with a hard thud.
"C'mon, ya bunch of assholes!" Drifter taunts as the boomerang returns to his hand, then throws the boomerangs at the Pro Heroes. "Hey, ya wanna boomerang? Here! Yeah, come one, come all! What about you? And you! And you have a boomie! You all have some fucking boomies!"
Batgirl brings out her tonfas as she starts swings right at the Pro Hero in a jaw, then spin kicks the other in a sternum when Red Hood bashes him from behind with a crowbar. Red Hood then blocks the attack and then kicks the Pro Hero in a nuts, causing him collapse down to his knees with his hands covered his parts which Red Hood whacks him in the jaw, knocking him out.
Batman punches the Pro hard in a jaw while Robin delivers low sweep in a leg, trips her down the ground as Robin punches her in a jaw. Crimson Fox cuts in when she delivers a smoke bomb at the Pro Hero, making Batman grabs hold of him and locks him in a rear naked choke, knocking him out and placing him to the ground.
Red Hood bashes the Pro Hero in a rib and then swings his crowbar at the lower spine, making her scream in pain. The Pro Heroes charges after him, but Vibe fires off the vibrations and sends them flying. Red Hood turns to Vibe, who gives him a smirk as he then delivers a backfist right the Pro Hero in the face, knocking him out.
Elongated Man wraps his body around the Pro Hero, restraining him when Red Robin punches him hard in a jaw. He then dodges the attack and delivers a roundhouse kick to the jaw, following by a jumping spin kick, knocking the Pro Hero out.
Crimson Fox dodges the attack with a backflip, then uses her pheromone power to make him feeling dizzy and attracted to her. She then punches him in a jaw and knocked him out. The Pro Hero the grabs her, but Crimson Fox kicks him in a nose, making him stumble back as she then delivers a low sweep and then breaks his ankle.
Batman, Superman (Jonathan), and Robin are tag teaming each other by beating a Pro Hero with a number of punches and kicks. Robin does a front flip, landing behind a Pro Hero as Superman (Jonathan) and Batman delivers a hard punch right in a gut while Robin delivers a hard kick to the head, knocking him out.
Superman (Clark) and Supergirl decided to finish the fight when they tosses the Pro Heroes to the ground, then knocking them out by slamming their heads.
(Music Ends)
Number of Pro Heroes were knocked out and being beaten easily because of the Super Family's Kryptonian physiology, the Bat Family's martial prowess and tactics, Drifter's long range attacks and military tactic, and Vibe, Elongated Man, and Crimson Fox's power. Superman (Clark) looks down at the knocked out Pro Heroes, but also noticed the people who are watching the entire fight, which their jaws dropped with shock and awe of his return. They then notice the League and some new members of vigilantes.
"Holy crap! Is that Batman and his team?! What are they doing here in DC?!"
"And look, it's Superman! He's back!"
"Yeah, and he brought the whole team of Justice League with him!"
"But with the way they fight, they sure put the Pros in their place!"
And with that, the people roared with cheer for the return of the Justice League which it got most of the heroes confused.
"Um, what just happened?" Batgirl asks, confused. "Why are they cheering for us?"
"Maybe it's because of our return?" Supergirl guessed.
"Let's just roll it and hoping we get some answers." Superman (Clark) told his cousin, turns back to the crowd.
But before they could, the limo arrived at the Hall of Justice as Alex and Wade got out of the vehicle, heading towards the building with furious look on their faces. The media went to ask questions while giving them pictures.
"Mr. Luthor, is it true that the Justice League has return to help for good?"
"We watch the League fight against the Pro Heroes and we were wondering what was your respond!"
"I will see to that myself if I ever see those Pro Heroes ever get beaten by them! Now get out of my way!" Alex shouts in annoyance as the security block their path and letting him and Wade through.
But once Alex and Wade made their way up at the Hall of Justice, they notice the number of Pro Heroes were knocked out and being piled. They then notice the Justice League, Vibe, Crimson Fox, and Drifter standing in front of them which it got the new owner of Lex Corp widen his eyes in shock when he saw Superman (Clark) has return from the dead.
"Superman...so it's true...the Justice League really did beat the Pros..." Alex muttered as Superman (Clark) flew to him.
"Um, are you alright? You look like you've seen a ghost." Superman (Clark) said, making Alex snapped out of his thoughts as he cleared his throat.
"Yes, sorry...I wanted to thank you and your team for taking down the Pro Heroes, since me and Wade have made it personally clear that the Hall of Justice is a historical landmark for all the accomplishments that the Justice League have done." Alex explains. "But once the police arrives, they'll handle the situation here after given them an explanation."
And once the police arrives along with the military, they're escorting the Pro Heroes to the life support at the infirmary to patch them up, but they'll have to take them to prison for attempting to destroy the Hall of Justice without informing the military or Alex Luthor since they're the supporters of the Justice League. Alex then turns to them as he spoke.
"I believe introductions are in order, I'm Alex Luthor, I am the new owner of Lex Corp." Alex introduces himself which Superman (Clark) was shocked, but the Bat Family already knows that he's related to Lex Luthor, his father.
"Are you related to Lex Luthor?" Superman (Clark) questions with a serious look on his face as Alex sighed.
"Unfortunately, but I'm nothing like him because of hatred of my dad. Ever since I came into his life, he was nothing but a selfish old man whose dead set on killing you for a long time along with trying to kill off the Justice League." Alex told him.
"That's Lex for you, but for what I can tell, you're the opposite." Supergirl states.
"Like a coin with the opposite side." Alex said. "I've been cleaning up the mess he made while try to keep the company in check since he fired countless workers and working on his own agendas."
"How long?" Red Robin questions.
"9 years straight and still doing it after dad left the company." Alex answered. "Apparently, it is my sin to bear and the only thing I ever want is to make things right to earn their trust and helping the people in need."
The heroes can tell that Alex Luthor placed himself a heavy burden that involves his father's crimes and it got him into a very serious position that has nothing to do with the only son of a criminal. Despite being ostracized and dealing with hardships, Alex was forced to fend for himself during his time in the streets of Metropolis, but mostly fights and getting beaten. Everything he'd been through isn't easy for him, but he makes up for it with his genius intellect to make his own business for inventing gadgets to support and making money to rebuild the company. But as soon as Alex grew older after graduating in University at Metropolis and discharged in military, he took over at the new businessman of Lex Corp, providing support to the people and delivering military supplies and weapons for the military which he earned a lot of trust and respect on his own without his fathers help since he's never there. However, Alex is still feeling guilty of his fathers past crimes and he felt responsible for it.
Superman (Clark) walk towards him, placing his hand on his shoulder.
"You shouldn't blame yourself." Clark told him. "What happen in the past isn't your fault, your father did this to himself when I first met him and became enemies. You didn't kill me or anything, he did."
"He's right, you became the new owner of Lex Corp on your own even dealing hardships." Supergirl agrees. "And you should know you're skilled enough to take his place and look at what you did. You made Lex Corp a better company and you've earned it."
Alex looked at the Super Family and the Bat Family, who gave him a nod with an agreement as he then turns his head to Wade.
"If your grandfather is here, he would be proud of you. But Alex, just don't be afraid to try and make your own path. Your family would've been proud." Wade told him. "Now, you need to let go of the burdens and rise up to become of who you chose to be."
Alex then nods and turns to the media, finally approaching them with a serious demeanor on his face as he walk towards them. The media starts asking questions.
"Mr. Luthor, is it true that the Justice League are alive?"
"I can assure you, the Justice League are still alive and well after the great loss of the number of heroes who fought bravely and died with honor against the Legion of Doom." Alex informed them. "However, there are some who survive the fight and remain hidden until they were ready to reveal themselves."
"But we saw the Super Family and the Bat Family fought against the Pro Heroes! Do you think it's possible for them to come back?"
"I can answer his question." Superman (Clark) vouches as he walks next to Alex. "After learning about the Pro Heroes working for the Government, gaining attention to the people for money, I would say I'm disappointed. The reason being is because this isn't how a hero behaves and we don't ever do that, we only fight against criminals and protect lives because it's the right thing to do."
"And for that matter, the Justice League can only contact with the government when global threats are happening. As you can see, we work for the Justice League ever since past decades, but after hearing the loss of the heroes, they kept silent for some time." Wade adds. "But after learning of their whereabouts, the Justice League is slowly rising numbers of recruits to train them and helping them to become better heroes."
"But do you think the Hero Public Safety Commission would try to arrest you if they learned about it and try to offer you a suggestion to join them?"
"We refuse to become part of HPSC and we won't be like any of the Pro Heroes, it's not the same as being a hero!" Superman (Clark) said. "Like the Bat Family, they've been patrolling Japan for years and it didn't stop them of being a hero. We even have to put our lives on a line to protect lives and take down criminals."
"And when they return for their long years of absence, the world will become a better place for all of us." Alex adds. "Furthermore, if the Pro Heroes didn't get to restore their trust to the people and learn the about the reality, then we have no other options but to shut down the Hero Society program."
The media started taking pictures while the crowd roared with a cheer an agreement since they witnessed the Justice League fought against the Pro Heroes and beat them.
At the Watchtower, the Justice League watched the whole scene which it got them shocked that there are people who still supports them and hoping for their return. It got an opportunity for them to show that the League are still alive and return to their action since they've been training new heroes and protecting lives in private.
At the Titans Tower, the members of the Teen Titans and Nightwing were also watching the scene which it got them amazed that Alex Luthor made a huge announcement.
"Well I'll be, there some people still supports the League." Nightwing states.
"Dude, we can still go out there and show the world!" Beast Boy declared.
"And it would also mean we can get a chance to help and make a big turnaround to the world." Starfire adds with a smile.
Nightwing nods with an agreement.
But the government made an announcement about the Hero Society planning to be shutdown since the League of Villains made a mess after the Summer Camp Incident.
"And with the addition, we would add the Teen Titans, Sons of Batman Motorcycle Club, Boondock Saints, and Sons of Japan Motorcycle Club to the mix to form an alliance with the Justice League since they share a common goal." Alex announced with a smirk.
And with that said, the crowd cheered at that since the League of Villains are now gonna have a much bigger problems than the Pro Heroes.
At the HPSC HQ, the agents are watching the scene on a screen. They're not too happy about it and it got them worried that the government are planning to shutdown the program while having a group of vigilantes take over. Though, they need to come up with a plan to take down the Justice League since they've already lost their trust from the people to begin with because of the League of Villains and the Bat Family, Catwoman, and Delta.
At the U.A. High, the staff members and Nezu watched the scene and it got them amazed of the fight, which it's no surprise that they were able to beat the Pro Heroes easily. However, after hearing about the government planning to shutdown the Hero Society, they have a decision to make either they join with the Justice League and help them train the students, or have them pull the plug and the education about being a hero will be shutdown, leaving them jobless.
Somewhere at the Slaughter Swamp, the Legion of Doom were also watching the scene on a screen and it got them disappointed. However, it comes to mind that the League of Villains could use some help because neither of the criminals were even able to kill the heroes during the incidents. And both Lex Luthor and Gorilla Grodd decided to take matters into their own hands by finding the League of Villains hideout and recruit them so they can take refuge and hoping they'll accept the offer since they have a common goal.
Back at the Hall of Justice, the rest of the members of the Justice League arrived and notice that the building hasn't changed.
"I gotta say, this place hadn't changed much." John said.
"We kept it intact and updated since this building is marked as a historical landmark." Alex told him. "But the teleporter could use an upgrade."
"Actually, it was all on me, mate." Tony said, earned his attention. "Been tryin' to get this bloody thing operated in few days until I finally got it right. It's a real pain in the arse by the way."
"And, these gauntlets?" Alex inquires.
"Speed Force Gauntlets, made it myself." Tony answered, showing the gauntlets to him. "I've done a lot of studyin' about the Speed Force and made these gauntlets to get me faster."
Barry and Wally ran to him and looked at the gauntlets.
"Impressive, but it could use some tweeks and upgrades though." Flash said with an impressed smirk.
"And I know someone who can help you out." Alex adds, pulls out his phone. "Call in Daito Okamura."
While Alex gives Daito a call, Batman looks at the window to see a sun setting at the horizon with a sad look on his face, thinking about Bruce Wayne. Clark noticed that as he walk towards the Dark Knight.
"Ethan, are you alright?" Clark asks with concern, earned his attention.
"I just Bruce was here to see this, he would've told me that everything about the Justice League, the Watchtower, and the Hall of Justice were real." Ethan said as Clark placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Don't blame yourself for Bruce's death, Ethan." Clark told him with assurance. "What happen back at the festival isn't your fault, you did everything you can to save him."
Ethan knows the Kryptonian is right, but still wished he saved Bruce when Elijah approaches.
"He's right, brother. You shouldn't blame yourself." Elijah agrees, approaches. "And I'm sure our parents and Bruce would be proud of you for what you did."
"Bruce chose you for a reason, to see if you can take up his mantle." Clark adds with a smile. "And look what you've done since you took up the cowl. You form a new Bat Family, you even turn Eri into a new Robin. He chose you because you saw the good in everyone, think about the 'no kill' code, you still haven't broken it yet."
Ethan then thought about it, realizing that Clark was right about it.
"Now come on, we have a meeting to go." Clark suggests as they head towards the conference room since the meeting is about to start.
That's it for the 49th chapter. I know it's short, but hey, it's the second part where the Justice League made their debut and return.
