The White House

….

A few hours after the reveal of what happened, and exposing the actions of the VP and Amanda Waller, Raiden got himself a meeting with the US President Elizabeth Ross-Forbes

After the Video was revealed, Raiden was put on the N1 most wanted criminal lists all over the country, and the world, even the Justice League was asked to apprehend him, to clear his name, but Raiden decided, once again, to do something crazy, he decided to infiltrate the White House, the president was surrounded with many Guards, so the moment Raiden popped out of the shadows, courtesy of Scáthach, he said "Do not do anything stupid, One wrong move and the president dies"

Raiden grabbed the president from behind, putting her in front of him and the guards, of course, the guards all pulled their weapons and aimed at Raiden, the President was in the room with her advisors, the General, and a few guards, discussing how to deal with the recent events, so Raiden coming to them out of nowhere was something they didn't expect, the first person to speak was the General saying "you've got some guts to come here you damn monster, release the president Right NOW!" 

President Ross-Forbes remained composed despite the sudden intrusion and the perilous standoff in her office. She spoke calmly but firmly, addressing Raiden and the General."General, please. Let's handle this calmly. Raiden, I understand you're feeling desperate, but this isn't the way to resolve matters." Raiden tightened his grip slightly on the president "I Need Everyone to leave, just me and Ms. President in the office, NOW"

Raiden's words erred the general as he screamed "You're a criminal, Kagawa! This won't end well for you." Hearing that, the President tried to de-escalate the situation saying "Raiden, releasing me is the first step towards finding a peaceful resolution. I'm here to listen. Let's find a way to address the accusations against you without any more violence."

"Look, I'm only here to talk, Please understand, I do not wish to cause Any problems, Ms. President, if you can talk with me for just a few minutes, I'll not only let you go, I'll leave everyone here, without hurting anyone, please, don't be rash, and think things through" Said Raiden, he was somewhat desperate to clear his name, and he truly didn't want to hurt anyone trying to do that "Raiden, I appreciate your desire to talk, but I cannot negotiate under these circumstances. Please release me and allow us to address your concerns peacefully. We can find a way to communicate without putting lives at risk."

"I'm here to listen, but we need to ensure the safety of everyone present. Let's work together to find a resolution that doesn't involve threats or violence."

Hearing the president's words, Raiden said "I am willing to do that, but I need you to make sure none of them do anything stupid, shooting me will do me no damage, I know you all saw the video of me defeating Trigon, trust me when I say this, if I wanted to, I could've killed everyone here and kidnapped you just like I did the VP, I'm genuinely here to talk, please, don't force my hand, lower your weapons, and allow me to speak with her" 

"I understand your capabilities, Raiden, but let's approach this peacefully. Guards, stand down." The General hesitated, exchanging a cautious glance with the president before reluctantly signaling for the guards to lower their weapons. "Raiden, you have my attention. Let's talk. What do you want to discuss?"

"Okay, Good, I know we started this conversation on the wrong foot, I just want to say, It's an honor meeting you, Miss President, in this corrupt, world, you're one of the few people I have faith in and trust, at least from the actions you show to the world," said Raiden as he started to release the president

"Thank you, Raiden. It's certainly an unexpected encounter, but I appreciate your kind words. It sounds like you've been through quite an ordeal. I'm intrigued to hear more about your perspective on recent events. Please, have a seat, and Let's work together to navigate this situation with integrity and uphold the principles of justice." Spoke the President, to Raiden, he then nodded, sat down, and looked around, still weary of the general and guards, he sighed and said "

"First things first, After the video was released, which not only contained all the evidence of the VP and Amanda Waller's wrongdoings but revealed their plans to conspire against you, I was surprised to find myself on the Most Wanted list, all over the world" 

Nodding her head, the president said "I understand your concern, Raiden. The events you've described are deeply troubling, and I assure you, we are taking them very seriously. However, it's imperative to maintain the rule of law even in the face of such revelations. While your actions may have been necessary to thwart their plans, they still require examination within the framework of our justice system. Kidnapping the VP was something, reckless, and we'll need to gather more evidence to clear your name, just so you know, We made sure to ask for you to be apprehended, because we trust in you, I trust you, and your actions so far, have never been against that of humanity" hearing that Raiden was a bit frustrated as he said 

"Okay, Good, I want to be clear, I already released The VP and Amanda, they should be outside your office right now, I have not harmed them, not even once, as for the reason I'm here now, is not only to clear my name, I want you to make it clear, to the world, That I am protecting Earth, My actions were extreme, I understand that, but, I have to act that way, the world is literally being invaded by the Reach Alien Race as we speak, but the public doesn't even realize it, they love the Reach, cause they think they are here to be friends with us, I want you to grant me Amnesty, for all my Actions from before, and future, that is the only way I can feel that I don't have to worry about my back when facing Earth's enemies " explained Raiden, he knew he was asking for too much, but he had too, to protect the world, earth needs to be united, and truly follow his will, no more political bullshit

Hearing Raiden's words, the president nudged her guards to check outside the office, upon finding both Amanda and the Vice President right outside her office, she knew he was telling the truth, she asked the guards to apprehend them and then looked at Raiden, and said "I appreciate your honesty, Raiden, and I understand the gravity of the situation you've described. Protecting Earth from external threats is a noble cause, and your actions, though extreme, were driven by a sense of duty. Granting you amnesty for past and future actions, however, is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. I must prioritize the safety and stability of our nation and the world"

"Let me assure you that I will personally oversee an investigation into the Reach and their activities. If what you say is true and they pose a hidden threat to Earth, we need to address it transparently and decisively. As for your amnesty request, I will consult with my advisors and consider the broader implications. Your actions have undoubtedly raised important questions about how we confront emerging threats.

In the meantime, I ask for your cooperation and patience. We will work towards a resolution that ensures both the safety of our planet and the protection of those who defend it."

"Miss President, I Have trust in you, and I do think you are perfect for your position, so I'll be revealing something about me, Had I wanted to, If I wanted to, I could and can, Take over this entire planet, not only that, I now have the powers to destroy the world truly, I chose not too, because this is my home, and I love it, My powers, they're a secret that everyone wants to understand, so I'll be clear and reveal their origins for you," said Raiden, a bit hesitant, but he has to do it (this is the only way, I can't have the world against me, I'm strong now, but fighting against Darkseid and Earth is something impossible, even for me"

Hearing his words, the president stayed quiet for a few seconds, trying to asses if what Raiden said was a threat or genuine truth, if he was truly trying to cooperate or trying to cause mayhem

"I appreciate your trust in me, Raiden, and I understand the weight of what you're sharing. It's clear that your intentions are grounded in a desire to protect Earth. Understanding the origins of your powers could indeed shed light on how best to navigate these complex challenges. Please, go ahead and share what you're comfortable disclosing. Knowledge of your abilities and their origins could prove invaluable as we assess the broader landscape of threats facing our world."

President Elizabeth Ross-Forbes listened with a mix of astonishment and contemplation. The gravity of Raiden's connection to Earth and the responsibility bestowed upon him by Gaia is not lost on her.

"Raiden, what you've described is truly remarkable and carries profound implications. If Earth itself has chosen you as its protector against an unprecedented threat, then your actions take on a different significance. Your request for amnesty aligns with this unique mandate entrusted to you by The will of the Planet, Gaia, However, I Still need time to consider the implications of this revelation and verify it I need to consult with experts and my advisors, We must ensure that your abilities are wielded responsibly and in service to the greater good. Rest assured, I am committed to finding a solution that honors your role as Earth's chosen guardian while upholding the principles of justice and accountability.

In the meantime I need you to cooperate with us, and surrender yourself to …."

Before the president finished her words, her secretary walked in running saying "Miss President! You need to see this" The secretary was a bit shocked, seeing Raiden and everyone in the room tensed, but she ignored all of that, as she turned the TV on

News reports and NASA were showing how a Planet, the size of the moon was closing in on Earth "This Alien origin Mechanical planet has been closing in on us, since a few hours ago! The Justice League is trying to communicate with it, but at the moment, it's believed to be an Invasion or a threat on that level!"

President Ross-Forbes's attention shifts immediately to the urgent news unfolding on the television screen. The gravity of the situation is palpable in the room as Raiden and her team absorb the shocking report. "Raiden, it appears that your warning was tragically accurate. We are facing an unprecedented threat to Earth," she then turned to her secretary saying "Gather the National Security Council and contact the Justice League. We need a comprehensive strategy to address this threat immediately."

Seeing the Planet Approaching Raiden thought (So that's the War World) he then got up and said "No, this isn't the danger I spoke of, the Monster I have to face is much stronger than that mechanical planet, For now, You can postpone that Amnesty I asked for, After seeing what I'm about to do today, you will understand, You will understand that the fact that I even took time to discuss with you is in of itself an honor, watch closely, miss President, I will show you the will of Gaia"

he then disappeared in the shadows, just as he appeared, and left the astonished, and frightened President, to contemplate and observe what was about to happen, on the day that the world recognizes the birth of a God
