Chapter 5 the injustice League
In Metropolis a building that was owned by none other than Lex Luthor had glowing green lights at the top of the building.
"So this is how it ends." Luthor said to Superman who was on the ground groaning in pain as Lex held the peace of Kryptonite in his hand. "You know I've carried this around for years, waiting for just the right moment. But now that it's here, I almost feel a little let down. Almost." Lex said smugly. "Any last requests?" Lex asked.
"Luthor, I have to know. Those weapons you sold to the terrorists. How?" Superman tried to ask.
"How did I get them through customs? A gift there, a bribe there. When money talks, people listen. Like stavros, at the shipping company. Or Schneider, the Interpol agent who looked the other way." Lex said.
"You haven't changed at all in 13 years." Superman said making him turn and face him only for his eyes to widen seeing him looking perfect fine. He rushed to him with the Kryptonite in hand and shoved it in his face but nothing happened.
"It can't be. The Kryptonite." Lex said in shock.
"That bullshit doesn't work on me." Superman said before snapping his fingers and turned into Ghost making Lex look at him in shock.
"YOU!" Lex yelled before Ghost grabbed him by the throat.
"Remember me?" Ghost asked tightening his grip.
"Who...Are...YOU?" Lex strained out.
"Thats enough." Batman said as he and GL came in and Lantern took the Kryptonite and gave it to Batman who put it in his belt. Ghost threw Lex at his desk making him grunt in pain.
"This is the end of your era." Ghost said.
"I don't know who the hell you are and personally I don't really care." Lex said pressing a button before an aircraft appeared outside and blasted them before Lex got inside and flew away.
"Why do they always run?" GL asked.
"Cause their cowards." Ghost said before snapping his fingers and Lex's aircraft vanished as if it never existed.
"WHAT!" Lex yelled in shock before he started falling to the ground before Superman grabbed him.
"Hmph!" Ghost said before walking away. Batman then noticed that his gauntlet had another stone.
"Wait. Where did you get that other stone?" Batman asked.
"Aqua man gave it to him. A way of saying thanks for saving him and his son from death. Apparently they used this stone to hide Atlantis away from the eyes of the world before it sank into the ocean." Lantern said before Ghost vanished making Batman narrow his eyes.
Later
"WHAT!" Ghost yelled in a fit of laughter. Having been told about Luthor's rare Kryptonite cancer made Ghost and his followers laugh.
"It's not funny." Batman said not amused.
"Oh I beg to differ. His greatest weapon led him to his own downfall. Oh Karma works in great ways." Ghost said between laughter.
"Would you be laughing if it was one of them?" Batman asked pointing to his group.
"Of course not. Just let me enjoy this. After all the suffering he's caused I find it amusing now he's suffering because of his own arrogance. Besides...If you had been there when he killed my entire family and witnessed how he did you would understand." Ghost said walking past him.
"What exactly did he do anyway?" Superman asked making him stop and his brothers looked a little nervous.
"Tell me something Superman. How much is enough for you to take before you decide to take action that needs to be taken." Ghost asked making him raise an eyebrow.
"Meaning what exactly?" Superman asked.
"I mean theres only so much misery you can take before even the likes of you decide enough is enough. Well the way he killed my family was the point I decided enough was enough of letting people like him live." Ghost said.
"You're exaggerating." Batman accused making his eyes widen before roaring as he shoved him into the glass.
"Oh shit." Caretaker said knowing this wasn't going to be pretty.
"You have no right to say that. My brother and my father were slowly tortured right in front of me. Luthor had hired the worst people imaginable. My mother MY SISTERS! Were raped right in front of me in the most inhuman ways possible! While my Father and my brother were butchered slowly while my father begged them to let my brother go! So you tell me!" Ghost yelled throwing him into a table while Batman just looked on in shock at this story. "Do you think I'm exaggerating in the slightest? I am going to make sure Luthor Suffers for what he's done to me." Ghost said before walking away to cool down.
"Wait." Superman said making him stop.
"What?" Ghost said.
"Why are you still alive? He could have killed you like the rest of your family. But your still alive. Why?" Superman asked getting the others minus Ghost's brothers who knew the answer to think the same thing.
"Cause I'm the reason my family was killed like that. Luthor let me live because the dead don't suffer. He wanted me to break. To lose my strength. And I intend to pay him back a thousand full." Ghost said before vanishing.
Later
Luthor had busted out of Jail along with Ultra Humanite. And in the processed set an apartment complex on fire.
A little girl was still inside before the door was kicked down by Turley who had rushed into the building to save her.
"I'm scared." The Little girl said.
"Don't be." Turley said before he rushed out the window making her scream before he landed on his feet before letting the girl go.
"Daddy!" The girl yelled rushing to her father making Turley smile a little.
"Turning into a hero are we?" Hawkgirl asked flying down next to him.
"Making up for mistakes I've done." Turley said making her smile before Superman and the Flash appeared.
"Anything?" Hawkgirl asked.
"Nothing we couldn't pick up their trail." Superman said.
"No biggie. It's just two guys. How much trouble can they give us?" Flash asked.
"Plenty if you give them the chance." Turley said.
Meanwhile
In an abandoned part of Metropolis was a woman with Cheetah like appearance known as the Villainess Cheetah. Walking into an abandoned building she began to search for someone who offered her a job before someone with a snake like costume appeared making her snarl and lash out like an animal.
"Easy, lady. Easy." the man said.
"Who are you?" Cheetah asked.
"The names Copperhead. I'm here about a job." Copperhead said.
"So am I. Somebody called me. Was it you?" Cheetah asked.
"No. But maybe we'll be working together. Closely together." Copperhead said flicking his snake like tongue at her making her growl before slashing at making him groan and growled. "Witch!" Copperhead yelled before using his tail end to smack her back making her hit a large undead zombie known as Grundy making her gasp before backing away from him.
"Nice kitty." Grundy said petting her like a cat making her eyes twitch.
"FUCK OFF!" Cheetah yelled scratching him making him growl.
"No one hurts Grundy." Grundy said before they were all engulfed in darkness. "Hey who turned out the lights?" Grundy asked.
"I did." A man said before the light returned revealing a man in all black. "And I'll do worse if you don't stop behaving like unruly children." The man said.
"Who do you think you are?" Copperhead asked.
"The shade. And my nightstick is more than enough to handle you amateurs." Shade said before it was engulfed in pink energy and pulled away. "HEY!" Shade yelled before the one known as Stars sapphire appeared holding his stick. (Picture her Justice League doom appearance since they are basically one and the same in this series)
"Spare us little man. Without this your more than nothing." Star Sapphire said handing him his stick while Cheetah growled making her snicker. "Common criminals. Is this what I've been reduced to?" Sapphire asked insulted.
"Criminals? Yes. But common, most certainly not." Lex said as he and Humanite came down an elevator.
"Lex Luthor? The plot thins. What do you want?" Shade asked.
"Each of you is the best in the world at what you do. And I have need of your unique services." Lex said.
"My talents don't come cheaply." Cheetah said.
"You will all be paid most handsomely if you can do one simple thing. Destroy Superman and the Justice league." Lex said surprising them all. "Oh and to the one who can kill the one known as the Ghost...I'll triple your pay and throw in this." Lex said pulling out a certain glowing yellow stone.
"What is that?" Cheetah asked.
"The soul stone. Where did you get that?" Sapphire asked.
"Does it truly matter? An old young friend of mine helped me use this stone for an old project. The project worked but once he found out what I really used it for...Well you can guess where that led to. I have no use for such a thing these days so whoever kills the Ghost is free to keep it." Lex said making them grin before going off to plan.
'Idiotic fools. Like I would ever give up this kind of power. Besides now that I know the Ghost has two of the six I can claim them for myself once he's dead.' Luthor thought.
Later
Humanite held a hostage at the metropolis Federal building. This was part of the plan to draw out the Justice league.
"Humanite, let a hostage go and I'll give you one of my men in return." The police Captain said.
"What do you take me for? A troglodyte? No deal?" Humanite said aiming his gun at them only for it to rust apart as if time moved faster on it reducing it to nothing but rust. "What?" Humanite said in shock before looking up seeing Ghost using the Time stone in hand.
"Nice try monkey." Ghost said as Superman flew in and dashed Humanite inside making him let the hostage go before Batman dropped down.
"Look for other Hostages." Batman said to Ghost who nods and rushed in. "Your safe now." Batman said to the woman.
"But your not." The woman said revealing herself to be Cheetah before she attacked Batman forcing them both inside.
Ghost was looking around before he suddenly got attacked by Grundy making him growl before snapping his fingers making the walls grow hands trying to restrain Grundy but he broke through.
"Damnit!" Ghost yelled as he and Batman came back to back. "We've been had. There are no hostages." Ghost said.
"Agreed. But worry about that later. Right now make some use out of those stones." Batman said.
"No need to tell me twice." Ghost said before snapping his fingers and the glass in the room started floating before flying towards Grundy managing to pierce his undead flesh.
"GRUNDY NO LIKE GHOSTS!" Grundy yelled trying to crush him but he just moved out of the way before blasting him with the gauntlet making him hurl backwards into a wall.
"Well, So your ghost?" Sapphire said above him making him look at the woman above him. "I wasn't expecting someone so young and...Powerful." Sapphire said seductively.
'Is she flirting with me?' Ghost asked himself before she tried to blast him but he just did a back flip before avoiding getting slashed by Cheetah.
"Luthor has promised the one who takes you down triple pay. So why don't you do us a favor and go down quietly." Cheetah said.
"Your both fools to be working for Luthor. The second you lower your guard he'll turn on you. Especially with the soul stone in his possession." Ghost said.
"How did you know about that?" Cheetah asked in surprise making him narrow his eyes.
"Long story." Ghost said before noticing Copperhead bitting Batman in the neck making him jump towards him before punching him in the face hard making him fly into a wall. Quickly using the time stone he removed all the poison Copperhead left in him.
"Thanks." Batman said before the room was engulfed in darkness.
"Hey!" Ghost yelled before Lantern used his ring to brighten the room revealing the injustice league was missing. The only one still present was a knocked out Copperhead. "Great." Ghost said.
"Hey at least we got one of them." Flash said.
"You placed a tracker on Lex right?" Ghost asked Batman.
"Yes. And no I'm not going to give it to you just so you can kill him." Batman said.
"I never said I was. I just need to find him. Theres something he has that could cause great harm." Ghost said making him narrow his eyes before handing him the tracker.
"Don't make me regret this." Batman said making him nod before leaving.
Meanwhile
"The best at what you do. What was I thinking." Lex said to his injustice league.
"We did everything we could but Ghost and the league are a lot stronger then you think. Especially with those stones." Cheetah said.
"You think I don't realize that. I know full well what even one of the stones is capable of. After all...I used this very stone to kill over a million people before one of my old friends nearly blew the whistle on me. I taught his family and him a lesson about what happens when you cross me." Lex said shocking them all as he held the soul stone.
"Your insane." Sapphire said in horror. Killing people was fine as long as they could fight back but mass genocide like that. It sickened her to no end. The same could be said for Cheetah. She became what she was because of her research to help people not kill mass quantities of people like that.
Suddenly the door was kicked down by someone.
"And what's wrong with that? It's done wonders for me." A person said before stepping into the light before reviling himself to be.
"Joker?" Lex said in shock. "I thought you were dead." Lex said.
"I managed to escape a day before and put a double in my place. Good thing to otherwise I would be just as dead as the rest of those fools." Joker said laughing a little. "I had to lay low otherwise that Ghost fellow would find me and kill me like he did my double maybe worse." Joker said.
"What do you want? To brag about your narrow escape from Death?" Lex asked making him laugh.
"Hardly." Jokey said pulling something off Lex revealing a small tracker in the shape of a bat. "I know how the bat thinks." Joker said making him raise an eyebrow.
Soon enough Ghost appeared before he followed the tracker and found the injustice league below him. He was about to jump down when suddenly he was knocked out by a bag of rocks thanks to the Joker who laughed like a maniac.
Ghost was soon contained in the basement before someone slapped him awake making him wake up and narrowed his eyes seeing Joker.
"Joker. I should have known you would place a double in your place." Ghost said.
"Sorry Ghost boy but you can't kill me that easily." Joker said tapping his finger on his mask covered nose making him growl. "Your not going to leave him like that still alive are you?" Joker asked.
"Actually yes. Theres something I want to know." Lex said walking up to him before pulling his hood and mask down revealing his face. White skin brown hair and forest green eyes with an X formation scar on his chin and a claw like scar on his right eye. Lex looked and chuckled remembering this face all to well. "Sean Ashburn Kruger." Lex said naming the now official named Ghost. "Of everything I was expecting I never once thought I'd see you again old friend." Lex said making Sean growl trying to get free since his gauntlet wasn't on him right now. It was on the table by the elevator.
"I'm going to make you suffer for what you've done to me Lex. You had no right to kill my family the way you did." Sean said trying to get out of his restraints but couldn't.
"Oh save your threats boy. Besides it was your own fault. If you had kept your mouth shut about our little project they would still be alive and you would be with them to this day." Lex said.
"You twisted my work perverted it to kill a large settlement and clear space for more buildings for more money! You had no right to do that!" Sean yelled trying to get free but couldn't.
"Maybe but it worked out in the end and all thanks to you. Your knowledge of the infinity stones came in handy for that project. I gave you a choice. Work alongside me and bask in all the glory or go to prison where no one would find you. I suppose I should have just killed you right then and their but I guess I felt like I owed you for that success. And a good thing to since now I have two more infinity stones." Lex said imagining the possibilities with those stones.
"Good luck trying to use them. The stones are sealed into the gauntlet and will only let me use it since my blood since I took precautions incase someone like you tried something." Sean said making him frown.
"We'll see boy." Lex said as they left.
Sean growled as he tried to get loose but couldn't.
"So thats what this is about." Batman said appearing behind him.
"Bruce." Sean said before Batman faced him. Bruce had Known Sean's father Tom Kruger for a long time since before he become Batman. Tom Kruger was a five star General and came from a long line of American Patriots. Tom had provided him with state of the art tech for him as Batman. When Word of his death along with his family reached him it only encouraged Bruce to make sure he did not lose those closest to him ever again.
"You should have told me who you were. I would have understood better why you were doing all this." Batman said working on his restraints.
"I couldn't take chance of you telling the public about who I truly was. If Lex tells the world who I am people will begin to connect the dots about what really happened that night." Sean said before his restraints were off making him sigh in relief. "Besides this isn't just about stopping crime. This about cleaning my hands of all the blood thats on them for my actions. I am responsible for the death of millions because I trust Luthor. I helped him understand the power of the soul and he uses it for murder." Sean said before putting his mask and hood back on.
"And where is the soul stone now?" Batman asked.
"Luthor still has it. I need to get it back and write the wrongs I've done. I'm not going to kill Luthor today. No, I want him to suffer as I have. And the only way to do that..." Sean tried to say.
"Is if you have all six stones." Batman said.
"Yes. I ask you this once. Will you let me continue this path? Will you let me redeem myself for the innocent blood I have my hands?" Sean asked making Batman pause for a long moment.
"If I do there has to be limits to the people you kill. Only the worst of the worst." Batman said.
"Like Joker?" Sean asked.
"Yes. The rest that cannot be redeemed die when you find all six stones." Batman said. "Do we have a deal?" Batman asked holding out his hand before Sean shook it.
"Yes." Sean said before the building shook. "Looks like the others have arrived." Sean said putting the gauntlet back on.
Top floor
Luthor Laughed as he used the soul stone against both the league and his Injustice league to suck their life energies out. Humanite had helped him create an armor that could both stabilize his current condition and control the power of the soul stone and now it was coming back to bite him in the ass.
"This is almost to easy. I was expecting better." Luthor said as they cried out before.
Snap!
"What!" Luthor yelled as the stone was gone making him fall to the ground before the others regained their strength. Luthor looked back seeing Sean and Batman with the former holding the Soul stone. "Give me that back you insolent little!" Luthor yelled.
"Not this time Lex. You're only using this stone for fun. Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the universe." Sean said before putting the soul stone in his gauntlet making it glow brighter than when he inserted the time stone. "But this does put a smile on my face." Sean said grinning behind his mask.
"YOU BRAT!" Luthor yelled charging at him but Sean just snapped his fingers and his armor was gone.
"Now then." Sean said before creating an axe with the reality stone and walked over to Joker who slowly got up before seeing Sean above him.
"Oh you suck Ghost boy." Joker said annoyed before Sean slammed the axe into his head making him let out gargled gasps before he died. He wasn't going to have him die the same way twice. Even though he never died to begin with the first time but he knew the double was just as guilty.
Later
"So now your ok with him killing?" Superman asked Batman.
"I don't approve of it. But I see now where it comes from. He's from a long line of American Patriots. Killing comes naturally in his family. Besides It's what his father would have wanted." Batman said looking at Sean who looked down at the Earth.
"Thats three stones he has already." Superman said.
"Which means theres Three more to go. And the rest are not on Earth." Batman said.
"We'll find them soon enough." Superman said.
Authors Note: Wow this is the longest Chapter yet. Now you know exactly why Luthor spared him and Why Sean has such a grudge. He won't kill him till he retrieves all six of the stones. And with that power he can do anything such as bring his family and those that people Like Luthor killed back from the dead to have a better life. Now Next chapter will finally have a lemon between Sean and Diana.
