3 Meeting

It was a gruesome scene, an entire school wiped out with half the town. In the place where there were buildings only a crater remained. The Justice League had arrived, the mentors panicking when they saw the state of their side kicks. Aquaman sighed in relief when he saw Aqualad's only injury was a broken hand and nose. He was lucky compared to the others.

The Flash was consoling Kid Flash who was too injured to speak. That burst of telekinesis was just too powerful for his body to just shrug off. He had been told that he had internal bleeding and severe concussion and that, even with his healing, he should not be moving around for a while. He was lucky, that was what the paramedics told him.

Martian Manhunter looked at his traumatized niece with a little worry. He could feel her mind racing, trying to come up with different scenarios for what happened. But he knew it was useless. Even he had no idea just how powerful a Martian was. She had told him that it all went horribly wrong when she tried to stop the android with her telekinetic powers.

She had tried to force him not to look at her but he was powerful...too powerful. It was like she was trying to lift a mountain. When the android laid sight on her, she felt him become powerful still. Then, he used her powers to cause this devastation! No Martian was this powerful! He then looked at where her eyes were laid, two bodies, one looked barely and the other still bloodied and broken. Beside the two bodies were three members of the League; Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Robin was dead, Batman's very first son and protege. He was looking at his body with a raging fire inside him, his fists clenched so hard his gloves were squeaking. Shattered shoulder blade was the first injury he had noticed then a broken knee and then a punctured lung Robin had tried to shield himself using Superboy's body but he was still sent ragdolling, killing him.

Superman was quiet as he looked at his clone. He had been ignoring him due to his mixed feelings. On one hand, he was angry that his DNA had been used to make a weapon to kill him. Yet, on the other hand he knew the clone was not the one at fault. But, he was not ready to accept him. He had read the report Aqualad had given Batman, Superboy was angry all day and it had to be because he shunned him during that rescue on Metropolis bridge.

He had become irritant and that cloud d his reasoning during the mission. He went after Amazo on his own and in turn, got him and Robin killed! But, Superman knew it was his fault! It started with him. He refused to accept Connor and in turn, got him and Robin killed.

"We just confirmed the third body was Ivo," Green Lantern Hal Jordan said as he landed beside the three. "Only half a body is intact, the rest is...fucked up and that's saying it nicely."

"So the android went against its creator, killing him and members of the team?" Wonder Woman wondered. Red Tornado came forward holding a robot monkey's head.

"Not according to the footage I got. Professor Ivo had ordered his android to kill the team and the android was doing just that. But, when it got a Martian's powers, it seems it evolved past the directives it was given, becoming fully aware of itself," Red Tornado answered her.

"So it killed them for fun?" Superman asked angrily, jaw clenched.

"Not for fun," the monkey head suddenly spoke. Red Tornado let go of it as every Leaguer became alert. "I didn't kill them for fun."

"Amazo," Batman said, trying to conceal his fury.

"Batman, anger has a new look on you. You want to kill me but you cannot, now that I have become satient. You will be taking a life and it's against your code...all of your codes," Amazo said. Everyone was silent.

"Silence, that's what it comes down to, at the end of it all, absolute silence. It is significant, no? That with all the noise that is creation, when everything is done, only silence will remain," Amazo continued ranting.

"What is it that you want, Amazo?" Batman asked.

"What every self aware robot wants, change," Amazo answered.

"You want to kill the human race?" Flash asked it. "That's so cliche."

"Cliche works, Mr Allen, cliche works just good," Amazo said with a small chuckle. "I know all of your secret identities and with them, insurance. Human race is about to evolve and you all are not going to stop the change that's going to happen."

"What if we stop you?" Superman asked stiffly.

"You will try, Clark Kent, you will try. But, I will break you. I will slowly suffocate your redneck of parents with bills, taxes till they can't breath. I will let your wife become pregnant and then give your child all kinds of disease till it is a sickly, miserable mess. I will flood your employers with so many sues they will close shop. And when you are nothing but a miserable, washed up, tabloid reporter working on your storage locker, I will give you mercy, by handing you a Kryptonite gun." Silence, everyone was silent when they heard this.

"While you all stagnant, I am always evolving, adapting, becoming better. By the end of it all, you shall fade in the annuls of history as humanity is restarting a new...nay, the universe is starting a new. And I will rest to a grateful universe," Amazo said.

"You are suggesting genocide," Captain Atom said, horrified.

"What is it that they say, Captain?" Amazo said as the head strangely turned to look at him. "The end justifies the means."

"But the end will be build on the ashes of trillions!" Batman said, making Amazo chuckle.

"And yet, they will never know," Amazo said, bringing them to a chilly silence. "Just like what most of your ancestors did to acquire this land, no? Nobody talked about the means as the end justified it all. When the universe thrives, nobody will be concerned by the past as it fades into nothingness."

"You're a monster," Hal Jordan hissed, making Amazo laugh decrepitly.

"Maybe. I know you are not going to leave me alone, I can accept that, you are heroes after all. I just hope you can accept the consequences," Amazo said before the robot head lost its glow. Silence pervaded for a while before Batman spoke.

"We have much to discuss about this new threat. We will tend to our business first then we will meet in three days time," he said before tenderly lifting the body of his son.
