Chapter 65: Three Capes and a Threat

Appearing in a black flash, Sora found himself inside a farmhouse filled with fruits and other numerous kinds of vegetation.

His eyes were drawn to the small kunai at his feet which had weird markings on it. Picking it up, he took stock of his surroundings. Seeing as he was in the correct place and there were no guards around, Tai must have performed excellently.

'Luthor tried to have some hired thugs wreck some of my warehouses. Add that to the many times he sent some of his spies here to try and get jobs so that they could steal information, I'd like to think I'm more than justified.' He thought as he spread his perception around, making sure he was alone.

'[Conjuration: Insect Plague]!' He intoned, stretching his palm forward as it was shrouded in a purple energy.

Out of the purple energy, a cloud of mites, fleas, locusts and other parasites appeared, flying out and around the bountiful farmhouse.

The parasites tore through every form of vegetation they passed by. The locusts, among the others chewed at everything they saw in front of them until all that was left of the place were destroyed pieces of shrubbery and fruits.

The fruits looked as if they had been invaded by a swarm of insects as it was riddled with disgusting holes. The other fruits were also like that.

Sora let out a smile as he snapped his fingers, causing the cloud of insects to dissipate in mid air.

'That ended relatively quick. I guess I have more than time for the other one.' He thought as he disappeared in a black flash.

He appeared in another one of Luthor's farmhouses and repeated what he did to the previous one.

They weren't too far apart so it wasn't any trouble for Tai to plant another mark there for him to use.

"…in other news, Lexcorp's greenhouse suffered substantial damage. All of its crops and plant life were found chewed up and destroyed this morning. Sources say that it was the work of termites. It's as if a…" Sora tuned out the rest of what the reporter on the holographic screen said with a content smile on his face.

"Must you be so petty?" Zatanna asked with a smile that betrayed her actual thought.

"I was simply returning the favor. Now we can focus on what to do about Brainiac. While the robots may not have his exact plans in detail, we know he's after me." He explained as she continued.

"All we need to do is use that to our advantage. Lure him out in the open and take him out." Zatanna finished in thought.

"The only problem is, how do w-" She was interrupted by the loud ringing of the doorbell.

They shared a look with each other before a knock sounded on the door as a maid walked with her head bowed low.

"Some visitors have arrived for you." She said respectfully.

"Who are they?" Sora asked, turning his attention to the maid.

"I'm not sure but I believe they have decent strength." She said firmly.

Fun fact; Every single maid and butler were part of his ANBU that he pulled to his mansion. Hence he wasn't bothered by anyone who would dare attempt to intrude on his home.

Even if they could get past them, it wasn't like he couldn't defend himself.

"Let's go and see our guests." Sora said, emphasizing on the last word.

He could already feel them from the moment they stepped into his property but he wasn't bothered. Even with the fact that there were three of them and two of them were abnormally strong.

'Still nothing I can't handle. Since you've brought me some guests, I guess I'll entertain you a bit.' Sora thought as he walked down the stairs and into the main parlor where his guests were already seated.

One the sofa, two men and one woman sat comfortably. The first man was tall with black hair and blue eyes. His black hair had a shot curl down his forehead. He wore a blue suit and glasses that Sora could tell weren't prescribed.

The woman had flowing black hair and blue eyes as well but bore no resemblance to the previous man. She wore a simple brown jacket over a black shirt and black pants.

The third man was someone Sora easily recognized.

"Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent, Diana Prince. What brings you to my home?" He asked in the midst of their shocked gazes.

'That explains the strong life signatures.' He thought as he stared, waiting for their answer.

The three shared a look before Clark and Diana turned to look at Bruce who shook his head slightly.

"There's no point in me introducing them if you already know them. Despite what you think, you cannot take Brainiac alone. Since we know he's after you, he'll eventually come down on his own to get you after his robots failed. The three of us are going to be here for when he comes." Bruce explained as the two other heroes in civilian clothes sat beside him in silent support.

"You're still talking about that?" Sora muttered under his breath loud enough for them to hear.

"We're sorry to intrude but this is the only way to guarantee your safety and take down Brainiac." Clark said, getting up from his seat.

Sora was in no way intimidated by the way Clark's frame towered above his.

"Like I told him before, I'll handle Brainiac myself. You'd only get in my way." Sora said to the man of steel, causing his eyes to furrow.

'Though they're here, I don't believe they know why Bruce is so concerned. How touching.' He thought sarcastically.

"There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance. Batman said you were strong but you're still a child. You don't understand what you're getting into." Diana spoke firmly as if scolding a child.

"Wrong. You're the ones who don't understand what you're getting into. It's not arrogance if you're strong enough to back your words." Sora said calmly in a manner that sent chills down their spines.

"Besides, do you really think I'm so weak that I need you to protect me?" He asked as he was suddenly behind them, their eyes widening at the speed.

'Fast!' They all thought simultaneously. Even Superman stood stock still at his sudden change in position. He barely saw him move before he heard his voice.

Diana practically jumped away from him in a defensive position while Batman didn't move, knowing how Sora was.

If he wanted to do something to them, he would have already done it.

"Frankly, you're wasting my time so I'll say this only once. Get the hell out of my city or I'll throw you out myself." Sora said as a sudden intense pressure came upon the room pushing down on the three heroes.
