"I know that this is not my universe and quite possibly threats I had in my universe don't exist here but if you were me would you want to wait to find out?"

Wonder Woman: No, I would prepare battlements and train as many warriors as possible. I would risk everything to ensure that we would never suffer the same fate that we had in the previous universe. Which is why I am confused as to why you haven't attacked everyone claimed to be an alien. Why haven't you tried to rally humanity for the coming war? Why are you making technology to turn worlds into a paradise and creating replacement organs instead of weapons?

"Because doing so will divide humanity not unify us. I resist every urge to massacre any xeno on earth because I would be seen as the aggressor. If I build weapons the humans of this reality would more than likely use said weapons on each other long before they would on another race. The people of this world are too divided and I don't fully understand this universe I must evaluate it before making any rash decisions"

Wonder Woman: You have given me much to think about

I dropped Wonder Woman of before heading home with my entourage. Poison Ivy and Harley were catching up Selena trying to understand why she decided to join up with me. They also listened intently to my conversation with Wonder Woman as described one horror after the next. I didn't spare them the gruesome details but kept my tone as if I was describing the weather. I wanted to convey that such horror was an everyday occurrence but important enough to mention.

As we arrived at my home I noticed a few arguments going on outside. Laura was arguing with Wolverine and Jean was arguing with Scott. I couldn't hear what they were saying exactly and honestly I didn't care. They were having arguments outside of my home like it was a fucking trailer park. I don't give a shit what it was about or who started it I was going to end it. They seemed almost completely oblivious to our approach.

Scott: ... that's why I am telling you...!

"Shut the Fuck up!"

They finally realized that they weren't alone and that I was home. I noticed that Emma and her daughters were just observing the entire scenario with mild amusement before I arrived. Laura's mother wasn't too far off but seemed worried about their interaction unsure about how to handle the situation.

"I am in no mood to deal with whatever bullshit you have going on go home and come back when you have cooled off"

Scott: I don't care...

Wolverine: I think you better listen

Scott: No Logan! I don't take orders from...

That was as far as he got as I sent him the sensation of getting your heart being pierced by a literal arrow. He went pale and collapsed breathing hard holding his chest. I watched Logan carefully for any sudden movements but all he did was pull his claws out.

"I suggest that you put your claws away unless you mean to use them and I am warning you now that I won't hold back just because you're supposed to be a good guy. I've learned my lesson about that if you come at me especially on my property I'm going to literally murder you and your friend am I clear?"

Scott tried to reach for his visor aiming at me but Logan quickly stopped him before he could take the shot. He resisted for a few seconds before he finally relented and left with Logan driving off. Without another word I went inside quickly followed by everyone else. I was done with today I had nothing left in me to put up with someone with a massive ego that has been bruised. I was serious in that moment I would have killed them both I needed time to re center myself before being able to deal with someone being aggressive otherwise I might end up crossing the line.

Jean was upset with how I handled Scott but before she could confront me Thoris pulled her aside. She was obviously going to explain why I was behaving in such a way I knew that I could handled it differently but not right now. I went to an a strangely empty room in the mansion which the girls cleared out for my benefit. I sat down had Cortona turn off the lights and just breathed.

For a moment I didn't want to think about anything or anyone. I wasn't afraid of death I furious that I didn't kill those two myself. I was angry and had no place to vent it. When I was fighting the Justice League I was holding back because they were known for their no killing policy. They fired on my ship but I couldn't really defend myself. I was made powerless, vulnerable all because they were supposed to be paragons of virtue and things usually just work out for them. I know that I am not the good guy and that villains don't get happy endings in these things but knowing that didn't help me. I was going to do my best to never be helpless again anyone that came after me and mine would pay dearly for the attempt.
