THE GOOD LEADER PART 2.

"Before leaving, I need to know if you trust Kal-El as your leader," said the Commander Wayne.

All the Rangers were ready to say it. So they returned quietly to the table.

"Commander ..." said John.

"Typical, he's angry that he's not important like me," Kal said.

"Nothing personal, Kal," Diana said, staring at Kal.

"Barry?" Kal asked.

"Kal, you know we're good friends, but as a leader ... Did I say that you have had a good time with red?"

"Oh please! I am a good leader. Shayera?" Kal said.

"It's true Kal, I'm sorry."

"Do you think you would do better?" Kal asked.

"Yes, but the commander chose us in this order. Maybe you look like the red Ranger, but you're very bad up close, "John said.

"Well, the team has spoken," said the commander. "The cadet El will have to be dismissed from his duties as Power Ranger. Delivery your Morpho."

Barry, Diana and Shayera protested, they did not want Kal to be fired from being Ranger, they just wanted him to change. John was happy about this. J'onn was silent, he expected the commander to do the right thing.

"It's my decision, cadets."

Kal gave his Morpho very slowly and shakily. The commander put it on his belt full of compartments. Who knew what things he wore in that belt.

"For now, they will not have a Red Ranger, but they will have to carry out this mission without him. You can go now, cadets."

"Very well, it's time," said John.

"Yes," said the other three.

"Justice League, activate yourself."

With their Power Ranger uniforms, all four, without Kal, went to the hangar and took their vehicles. They went to action. Major Wayne, Kal and J'onn were watching the Rangers in rest position. The Rangers arrived at the Old Gotham City, parking just in front of the Dos Caras operations base, where there were five Two Face guards. Barry ran quickly to them, hit them quickly and threw them to the ground. The other three hit them on the ground to keep them from warning Dos Caras with a scream.

"Well, the fun part of this is going to be done with it," Barry said. "Follow me."

"Barry, stop!" Cried Shayera. Barry was always the first to go for everything, but since his great speed had not brought him satisfactory results in the previous missions, he was thinking of telling him that Diana or her would go in a group before him. Unfortunately, Kal's dismissal as Ranger had stunned her to react or talk to Barry.

She could not believe the commander's reaction against Kal. He felt bad for Kal, and he wanted to talk to the commander to think about Kal's dismissal as Ranger, but it would be after this important mission. Now she was a Power Ranger, and it was her top priority as long as they were on the battlefield, but it would be Shayera when she was not near the commander or at rest with her friends.

Barry appeared quickly and found many followers of Two Faces wearing their black and white uniforms with black and white masks.

"Hello friends!" Barry shouted. At that time, all the criminals took their bats, knives and chains. They were ready to hit Barry, but he spoke again. "I do not want to hurt you! Surrender or I will cause you pain!"

No criminal surrendered. Everyone ran towards Barry, but he was much faster, so he started running and punching each and every one. None expected a Ranger to be so fast, and he chose his targets at random. For a while, his tactic worked, but there were too many criminals for him. Barry, finally seeing himself overcome, came back out. The other three Rangers were smiling at him, he had failed again with his tactics. It was disappointing for Barry, but they had to act before the criminals escaped.

"Now, I'm going to teach them a lesson," said John.

"John, wait!" Diana shouted.

Obviously, John ignored him. He and Diana were too proud and impulsive to have a civilized conversation.

John entered the old court of Justice, and began throwing boxing gloves to many criminals. Although there were many, John would not give up.

"I'm going to the back in case someone escapes," Barry said.

"Men," Diana said, hoping Shayera would respond. But oddly enough, Shayera was already running towards Barry. Diana let out a sigh of anger, believing that she was the only one who did not make mistakes.

But then he remembered that John was fighting the criminals, so she ran and entered the courtroom. She found John being beaten mercilessly by the criminals, so she also began to beat the other criminals and freed John from his enemies. Without speaking, they fought again, but they were being overtaken by the criminals.

...

Commander Wayne, Kal-El and J'onn were seeing how the Rangers were having difficult problems to carry out the mission. Now, due to the surveillance cameras that had the vehicles in their headlights and back, they saw how Shayera and Barry - who came walking back to the vehicle - Shayera argued about how silly Barry was to enter without help, but Barry told him that she did not run after him or help him. Although they were best friends, they were now having a big disagreement now, but deep down they could not stand if one of them died, but the mission masked the real reason.

"They are terrible," Kal said, his face very impatient and anguished. I wanted to go help them, but I could not.

"They do not have a leader. They all act on their own, "Major Wayne said.

J'onn did not say anything.

"Sir, with all due respect, I can not be here."

"And where should you be, cadet?"

-With my team. They need help."

-Yes, they need help. So I'll send the other soldiers."

"Don't! I am the one who needs to help them, sir. I must teach them how to act correctly."

"And are you acting correctly?"

A few seconds passed before Kal answered. He had kept his head down during that time, he was proud and presumptuous, and he was somewhat embarrassed.

"No, I was busy taking advantage of my position. But if you give me this opportunity, I will fulfill the mission with them."

The commander nodded. Kal started to run when the commander spoke again.

"Cadet."

"Yes sir?"

"You will need this."

The commander threw the red Ranger Morpho to Kal. Kal caught it.

"Thank you, commander. Justice League, activate."

Now in the red Ranger suit, Kal ran to the hangar where he took a two-person vehicle. He hit the accelerator fully. He needed to arrive with his companions before they ruined the mission. He remembered that all the members of the league had a communicator device, so he took his Morpho and started calling his companions. As the Morphos were like cell phones, they could communicate with each other. He expected them to answer.

...

Shayera and Barry continued arguing, but were interrupted by the sound of the Morpho. The two took their Morphos and were surprised to hear that voice.

"How did you contact us?" Barry asked.

"Leave the questions for later. Now, they must enter the court of justice and help John and Diana. Shayera, enters to prevent someone from leaving, and Barry blocks the exits instead of just watching the entrances, then enter to help others."

Nobody moved.

"That's an order!"

They both did what Kal ordered, and they went in to help Diana and John. Diana and John were in trouble. The criminals who were not shot down brought metal devices or electric paralizers. Two Faces was a prepared criminal, and the Rangers were paying dearly. Once again, Diana and John had made a big mistake that almost cost them their lives. Before anyone could move a muscle, Barry and Shayera helped their partners.

Thus, another fight began. Barry and Shayera thought that Kal only gave them an order, but he would not go with them. They felt bad about Kal's dismissal, but they had to fulfill the mission. John and Diana were happy that they helped them, at least one progress.

No one expected the Red Ranger to enter through the roof window and land with such majesty on the ground. The red ranger finally did his real duty: helping his team and his team also helped him.

"Equipment, get together," Kal said. The four Rangers formed a circle, they did not expect Kal to return, but they were happy, even John, because he wanted help in the mission, but he did not want to admit it.

"Very well, Barry, run quickly and take their weapons, forget about hitting them. Shayera, John and Diana, knock out the other criminals, I'll destroy the weapons, "Kal ordered.

So everyone followed the orders of the Red Ranger. Barry started pulling the weapons out of the hands of the armed criminals. Once he had the weapons in his hands, Kal folded them in half or destroyed them with his hands, while defenseless criminals were knocked out by the other three Rangers. After several minutes, the criminals were knocked out, and the Rangers were somewhat tired but satisfied, but they forgot that Two Face was missing.

Barry was shot with a laser that grazed his arm. The other four Rangers turned to see the criminal Two Face, holding a gun in each hand. His hideous scars on the left side of his body made the Rangers startle at how terrifying he looked. They had never seen someone like that.

"So the Power Rangers have returned? You're just a bunch of Super losers," Two Face said.

Two Faces fired at the Rangers. The Rangers dodged them. Barry quickly covered himself, but still had a little discomfort in his arm. Fortunately, the other Rangers covered themselves, and then used their Morphos to order pistols.

"Stand down. I'll take care of him," Kal shouted to his fellow Rangers. The others obeyed, and everyone was surprised that Kal acted alone, but they were not angry. It seemed they were finally seeing the good leader they needed. However, John and Diana were still not entirely sure if their plan would work, because they did not trust him, just as they did not trust Barry.

Kal and Two Face began a shootout with their pistols. Two Faces had great marksmanship and Kal was not good with the gun, but he wanted to test his aim with his hands. His hands were not accurate, but I wanted to try. Kal rolled to the right, while Two Face did not flinch. He must have been attentive at the commander's meeting, so he would have known that Two Face was an expert with his two pistols. While Kal dodged the incredibly accurate shots of the criminal, the other Rangers were still very attentive to the movements of Kal, but the funny thing is that they did not notice how Two Face wounded several of his followers with each shot he made towards Kal.

"We have to help him!" Diana shouted.

"Yes" said the others.

The four remaining Rangers fired at Two Faces, but surprisingly did not flinch. John tried to create an imaginary object about the criminal but he had to create a shield to protect himself from the shots, and Barry tried to run towards him, but he was very busy helping his companions, plus Two Face was well protected by metal barriers difficult to break, technically I would shoot at point-blank range, so it was not a good plan. The true criminal fired at the Rangers, still receiving several shots from his opponents, and managed to take the guns from four Rangers, except Kal, only to then shoot everyone in the chest, and John in his helmet. No one was injured or killed, as their suits were designed to protect them from the greatest possible damage, including laser fire.

Kal was furious, and shot at Two Face, but a shot from the criminal hit him on the shoulder, and then on his leg. Two Face was smiling, because he had finished the Power Rangers quickly. The criminal left his fortress and walked towards the red Ranger, and aimed at the helmet. Another failed mission, after a successful mission. They were not worthy of being Power Rangers.

"Well, this city will thank me again for being the one that killed the Power Rangers. You are useless, and you will probably never see the light of day again."

Two Face pulled his lucky coin out of his pocket to decide whether to kill him or not, that coin was not in the documentation, but he knew what to do. Two Faces flipped his coin, keeping his eyes on his coin, Kal activated his laser vision and fired at Two Face's gun. The criminal's gun was destroyed, and now he was helpless. Kal rose from his position, approached the criminal, and punched the criminal, shooting him to the wall, and turned against Kal.

Kal learned that Two Faces had a metal armor that enhanced his stamina, but it was not a problem for him. Two Faces threw two punches, but Kal's combat training was superior. While Two-Face was only throwing fists at Kal, he stopped them. When he had enough, Kal launched a blow to Two-Face in the chest, before the criminal ran to him, before he was greeted by a giant green hand, was John, and had helped his partner despite his behavior that he had with him. After, Two Faces ran to the Green Ranger, but a swift blow from Barry, followed by another super strong hit from Diana and an electrocution from Shayera, knocked out the tough criminal, who now lay on the ground unconscious.

Kal used his morpho to ask the soldiers to come and pick up the criminals, so they would arrive in a few minutes. Meanwhile, Barry and Shayera were happy to see Kal as the leader, and he knew what to do at critical moments. They knew what would happen next.

...

In the conference room, Barry, Shayera, John and Diana were watching Major Wayne, who was showing them the recording of Two Face, sitting in his prison cell. Nobody would see him in a long time, or maybe never. The four Rangers had burn marks on their bodies, but the uniform covered them, and then they would heal, so everything went well.

"Good job Rangers," Major Wayne said. "Now Two Face is locked up, with no possibility of leaving and his followers are beginning to flee, or surrender to the league to be prosecuted. Apart from that, I tell them that they have imprisoned the first of many criminals, and many more will follow. But now, I ask you again: Do you trust Kal-El as your leader?"

"Clear. Without him we would not have defeated Two Faces. What's more, we would not even have won the battle against his followers," Barry said.

"Without hesitation. You knew that he was a good leader, he just had to show it. We would be dead now without him." Said Shayera.

Diana and John did not move.

"And what do you say, cadets?"

...

Diana and John were watching how Kal was finishing the training circuit. He was finally training, and it was somewhat satisfying.

"Maybe," the two Rangers thought.

Apart from seeing that Kal was already taking his role as leader seriously, they both noticed that they were finally having a good time without fighting. No one fought, and none wanted to fight, they were finally making progress. They did not talk either, because now they had a great calm, which would not be interrupted much later.

After Kal and John left, each of them to their respective rooms, Diana was left thinking that maybe Kal and the men could be trusted, but she still had to wait. Diana was quickly replaying her conversation with Major Wayne. She was still intrigued by the nickname given to her by the commander, and she thought of continuing with this soon, but now it was necessary to wait.
