" Slow down beautiful. I want to tell you what's on for tonight."
Malcom said as he walked up to bumblebee.
" Oh, sorry mal I can't. I'm already late for a lab session with Dr. Palmer. Rain check baby, okay?"
Bumblebee said before taking off.
" Rain check. Sure."
Malcom said sadly.
" Welcome home Angelfish."
Lagaan said to Megan as he gave her a hug.
" Thank you Lagaan."
Megan replied before giving the fish boy a kiss.
Superboy angrily walked past the two towards the showers.
" I'm hitting the showers."
Superboy said as he walked past beetle and beastboy.
" Now, that sounds like a plan. For you Hermano."
Blue said to beastboy as he powered down his armor.
" Clayface is safely in his cell back at Arkham."
Robin explained to Nigthwing the success of the mission.
" Good job."
Nightwing replied.
" I didn't do much."
Robin started to explain before being cutoff.
" Emergency alert. United nations headquarters is under attack."
Captain atom said to the team.
" Beta squad is only two blocks away."
Malcom said as he pulled up the team's coordinates.
" Captain Atom the teams Beta squad is in vicinity. Eta 3 minutes."
Nightwing to the man. As the call ended, he pulled out his phone to make a call.
" Hey, I know Gamma finished their mission already, how fast can you get to Un headquarters.
Dick asked the man over the phone.
" Come on Dick you already know the answer."
The man said before hanging up the phone.
The United Nations was under attack by Intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo.
" The main man was hired to put on a show for the people. Now, surrender or die."
Lobo said as he held general tseng hostage.
" Contract? Sho?"
Tseng asked in confusion.
" Die it is."
Lobo replied.
Lobo took a step towards the man but was stopped by the sudden Arrival of Wonder girl. She punched Lobo in the stomach and knocked him back a few feet.
" Wonder girl keep him busy. I'll get secretary General Tseng to safety."
Batgirl said as she jumped through the window.
" All over it batgirl."
Wonder girl replied as she clapped her fists together.
" Who are you? Where are you taking me?"
Tseng asked as batgirl led him to the elevator.
" Down."
Batgirl replied before making the elevator go down.
" All right big guy let's see how much punishment you can- Ugh!"
Wonder girl yelped as she punched Lobo in the face. The replied by grabbing her head and tossing her aside like a rag doll.
" Karee? Keezy Fem Thinks she can take down the main man? Karee?"
Lobo said as he walked away from the girl.
Lobo followed the elevator down landing on top of it and destroying it. Batgirl quickly thre smoke pellets on the ground to distract lobo.
" Ughhhhh!"
Lobo groaned in annoyance as he walked through the smoke. He pulled out his chain gun and fired it at Batgirl and Tseng knocking the two of them down. As he approached Wonder girl who had recovered flew under him and took his legs out right from under him.
" Not so fast clown face. We weren't down dancing."
Wonder girl joked.
" Keezy Fem!"
Lobo yelled in anger as he got to his feet.
" Yeah, yeah! Keezy Fem. I've been called worse. I think."
Wonder girl replied to the man.
Lobo walked up to Wonder girl and threw a punch, one that she ducked before uppercutting the man. She followed her punch up with a vicious roundhouse kick to the man's head knocking him back a few feet. She then wrapped her lasso around his body in an attempt to hold him in place.
" HAhahaha!"
Lobo laughed as he grabbed the lasso and pulled. Supergirl was dragged right into his fist and knocked into the ceiling.
" Keezy Fem can't frag with the main man."
Lobo laughed as he knocked the woman away.
" Excuse me."
A voice said to lobo as he tapped the man on the shoulder. Lobo turned around to have a vicious and powerful fist slam into his jaw sending him flying.
Batgirl and Wonder girl both looked up to see who it was that had sent the big man flying.
" Sentry!"
" Big Brother!"
Batgirl and Wonder Girl yelled at the newly arrived Sentry.
Gone was his cape and hood. His full head of white hair now turned almost black completely save for a small patch at the front of his head. Under his eyes were black markings. His skin tone slightly darker.
" Hey, Sis! Hey Batgirl."
Kai replied to the two young women.
" I thought you were leading Gamma right now. What are you doing here?"
Batgirl asked.
" I was, but Gamma had finished their mission and Nightwing thought you guys could use my help. And now that I'm here I agree."
Kai said to the women as he explained his appearance.
" Karee? You want to frag with the main man too Sentry?"
Lobo asked as he got to his feet.
" Why not Lobo?"
Kai replied to the man.
Lobo and Kai rushed each other. The two men wrapped their arms around each other trying to overpower each other.
" Ugh! Tell me Lobo. Why come after Tseng?"
Kai asked as he wrestled with Tseng.
" I ain't after Tseng Sentry. I'm after the little bug pretending to be Tseng."
Lobo stated clearly.
" WHAT?! ARGH!"
Kai yelled in surprise before Lobo drilled him in his face with a punch. Kai took a few steps back before Lobo continued his assault hitting in with both of his fists again and again. Kai raised his hand and blasted Lobo in his stomach with a bolt of lightning. knocking him back.
" What do you mean?"
Kai asked as he got to his feet.
" I mean the little imposter pretending to be Tseng."
Lobo said Lobo jumped in the air and landed behind Tseng. Lobo grabbed the man by his arms and began to pull.
" No!"
Kai yelled as he tackled Lobo off of the man.
" Secretary Tseng!"
Batgirl yelled as she grabbed the injured man.
Tseng looked up in terror and started to shake. Soon smoke started to come from his mouth, and he caught fire. A hatch opened in the man's chest and a little green alien fell out shocking the three earth heroes.
" What the hell?"
Kai asked as he looked at the Alien.
" See? I told ya."
Lobo laughed as he got to his feet. Lobo grabbed the alien and hopped on his bike before leaving Kai with one last warning.
" There's a bunch of these little bastiches running around of your planet. I suggest you pay attention."
Lobo said before taking off into space.
" I think clown face was some kind of alien."
Wonder girl said as she walked over to her brother.
" Yeah, his name is Lobo, he's an intergalactic bounty hunter. But that's not the problem. The problem was the alien pretending to be Tseng. We need to get back to the cave fast."
Kai said as he looked down at the remains of the robot.
" Why is it always robots with this team?"
Kai asked as he remembered all the times the team had faced robots.
" This is cat grant from the hall of justice. I'm going to try and get a statement from two of the league's newest members. Zatanna, and rocket.
Cat said as she approached the heroes.
" I'm sorry Miss grant, I'm sure you've heard this once today, but the league will issue a statement soon."
Catherine goobair
" Did you see that folks? That was league public liaison Catherine Goobair Literally stone walling GBS's own cat grant. What's the league Hiding? We know it provides safe haven for the Kryptonian and the Martian. What if that's not all. What if the Amazons came from outer space? What if the Atlanteans did? How do we really know Flash isn't an alien? Or hawkman? Or Icon? What are they keeping from the real earthlings like us?"
G Gordon asked as he rambled on to the world news.
[ The Watchtower. January 3rd. 17:08 EST]
[ Recognized Zatanna 25. Rocket 26]
" As Sentry said, the big guy is Lobo an Intergalactic bounty hunter. Extremely Dangerous, but not likely to return. The little guy's another story. That's a chrolotean and Chrolotean's always travel in packs."
Green lantern explained.
" Meaning more of them are on Earth."
Batman said to the group.
" I believe my friend may have more information on that point. Some of you have not met Adam strange of Star labs intedell initiative. He is responsible for maintaining the Zeta beam technology we use for teleportation."
Manhunter explained to the group.
' I was wondering why a stranger was allowed on the top-secret watch tower.'
Superboy said telepathically to his friends unaware that Manhunter could hear him.
" And he has a story to tell."
Manhunter replied.
" Ah it's a little involved. Wish I had visual aids or something."
Adam said
" I can assist you."
Manhunter said as he created a psychic link between the group.
' We are linked Adam. What you remember we will see.'
Manhunter explained to the man telepathically.
" Uhhh Great!" ' Well, I was preforming a routine Zeta tube upgrade when something went wrong. I found myself teleported across the galaxy to a planet called Raan. there was a scientist there called Sardat. He was conducting an experiment on enhanced. Very enhanced Zeta Beam technology. it took weeks to even establish a basic communication. But Sardat eventually made me understand, some of his Zeta Beam Technology had been stolen.'
Adam explained to the group as images of his memories flashed in their minds.
" Fits the chrolotean Mo. Their entire culture revolves around stolen tech."
Green lantern John Stewart explained.
" Sardat detected a single transmission on Raan and Multiple Transmissions on Earth. He was attempting to trace those when he accidentally transported me to Raan. He gave me this. It detects trace Zeta radiation and can Pinpoint all the Chroloteans that beamed to earth."
Adam explained as a device began to show the aliens locations.
" Then I'm ordering a two-pronged attack. We'll stage simultaneous raids on every Chrolotean target on earth. While a contingent of leaguers goes to Raan with strange here to cut the chrolotean's off at the source."
Captain Atom said to the group.
" Uhm we may have a problem with that second Prong of the attack. Totally unclear why but earthlings are persona non-Gratta in this part of the galaxy. And these six leaguers are wanted criminals."
Adam said as the six leaguers who disappeared years ago flashed on the screen.
" Shit that is not good. Batman It's the missing sixteen hours!"
Kai said to the man.
" Agreed!"
Batman replied.
" Five years ago, vandal Savage took complete Mental control of the entire Justice League. These exact six Leaguers went missing for sixteen hours."
Batman explained
" It never even occurred to us that Vandal sent us into Space. I'll alert Hal he and Guy are on Oa with the green Lantern Corp."
John Stewart stated.
" Meanwhile, we have fifteen other Leaguers we can send to Raan to investigate."
Captain atom said.
" You don't get it! There's a planetary watch alert out on Raan for every leaguer."
Adam said as images of Flash, Rocket, and Zatanna appeared on the screen.
" Not all of us are leaguers. I can send a team to Raan to handle that end of things to handle the investigation and find more clues on the missing sixteen hours without causing an intergalactic incident."
Nightwing said.
" Do it!"
Batman replied.
The four members of the team turned to leave the group.
" Uh if you're going you might not want to wear that shirt."
Adam said to superboy.
' You know that thing about you not being Leaguers. You four still have an open Invitation.'
Zatanna said to the four heroes
' We know Zee.'
Nightwing said.
' But we're all pretty happy.'
Megan stated
' Right where we are.'
Superboy finished.
' Plus Being part of team gives me more time with Donna. I doubt she'd be happy if I was away from home any longer than I already am.'
Kai said to the two women.
[ Mount Justice. January 4th. 20:00 EST]
" It's all hands-on deck!"
Kai said to the team.
" The league and the team will hit all fourteen Zeta locations Simultaneously."
Nightwing said
" Your objective is to destroy all Zeta beam Technology and platforms. And search for any Humans the Aliens may have abducted. As Always Mal is ops Manager coordinating Ops from here. Wonder girl you and I are Alpha. "
Kai said to his younger sister.
" Yes!"
Wonder Girl Cheered.
" Neptunes Beard!"
Lagaan complained.
" Assignment Philidelphia!"
Kai said as he and his sister left the cave.
[ Philadelphia. January 4th. 22:55 EST]
The two flew over the city of Philadelphia towards their objective.
" You ready Cass?"
Kai asked as the two approached their objective.
" Always ready! Thanks for the opportunity."
Cass said to her brother.
" No problem, Cass, I look forward to seeing how much you've grown."
Kai said to the young woman.
" Alright, let's go sis."
Kai said as they arrived at their destination.
The aliens inside were alerted of their arrival instantly as the two-crash landed right in the center of their operation.
" You have one chance surrender now, and I promise no harm will come to you."
Kai said In Chrolotean.
" You can speak their language?"
Cassie asked
" Wisdom of Athena remember."
Kai responded with a smile.
The aliens drew their weapons and opened fire on the two heroes.
" Hard way it is! Wonder girl You hit them High I'll take low."
Kai said as he rushed to attack the aliens on the ground floor.
" You got it Sentry!"
Cassie said as she flew up to the rafters and started attacking the aliens up there, preventing them from firing on her brother.
It took the two powerhouse's minutes to completely defeat and capture the Chrolotean's
" That all of them?"
Kai asked as he destroyed the last Zeta tube in the building.
" Yes, that's all of them Sentry."
Cassie responded.
" This is Sentry to cave. We've destroyed the Zeta tubes and captured all chroloteans in Philadelphia."
Sentry said to the cave.
" Okay Sentry, leave wonder girl there to watch over them. Gamma squad needs your help. Malcom out."
Malom said before cutting the transmission.
" Alright. Guess I'm needed elsewhere."
Kai said as he looked at Cassie.
" You did wonderful tonight, Wonder Girl, I'm so proud of how far you've come, and I know Wonder woman and my wife would be just as Proud."
Kai said as he hugged the young hero.
" Thanks brother. Now, go kick their asses."
Cassie replied making the man laugh.
" You got it Sis."
Kai said before flying off towards Gamma squad.
Kai arrived just in time to join the remaining teams and the league converging on the island.
[ Down in the water]
" Woohooo! Gamma squad rules!"
Lagaan celebrated as the squad and the captured humans made it out of the building before it exploded.
" Uh Robin!"
Blue beetle called out drawing the boy's attention. Robin looked up to see the League and the team all converging on their position.
Superman, Wonder woman, Both the Hawks, Martian manhunter, Red tornado, Zatanna, icon, Captain atom, Captain Marvel, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Black Lightning, Green Lantern John Stewart, Batman, Aquaman, Dr. Fate, Flash, Plastic man, Nightwing, and Sentry all came down in front of the team.
" Gama Squad! Way to get your feet wet boys!"
Nightwing said to the group
" Way to go Boys! Reminds you us when we were younger doesn't it Nightwing?"
Sentry joked.
" Let's get you all on solid ground."
Sentry said as he began picking people up.
After a few minutes of busing people home Sentry and Nightwing Joined the League on the watchtower for debriefing. Afterwards Kai was approached by some of his old friends.
" Hello, Kai, it's good to see you."
Diana said as she and a few other leaguers approached the man.
" Yeah man, what's up how've you been?"
Captain Marvel asked.
" Dinah, Billy, Diana. It's good to see you all. Things have been great so far, Me and Donna finally decided to start working on starting a family."
Kai responded.
" that's wonderful news Kai, but we came to talk to you about something else."
Canary said to the man.
" If this is about the league forget it. I already told you no."
Kai said bluntly his attitude suddenly making a complete 180.
" But why man, I mean this is your chance to join the league. You used to always talk about it."
Captain Marvel asked.
" Billy, it took five years for me to be offered League Membership. Rocket, Zatanna, Nightwing, Miss Martian, and Superboy were all offered to join before I was. I didn't take it personally the first time I was rejected because I was too young. But I'm twenty-one now and I was only offered Membership last month! I'm not planning on joining the league any time soon. And if any of you are my friends, you'll drop it and leave it the fuck alone."
Kai said angrily before leaving the watchtower.
[ Recognized Sentry B08]
" Hi honey, how was your day?"
Donna asked as Kai walked into their house.
Kai walked up to the woman and gave her a hug and a kiss
" I'm a little mad right now, donna but other that. My day went fairly well."
Kai replied as he held onto the woman.
" What's wrong Kai?"
Donna asked
" Dinah, Billy, and Diana tried to get me to join the league again. I don't understand it. How many times do I have to tell them no before they get that I don't want to join the league?"
Kai asked
" They're your friends Kai. They just wanted to you to join them."
Donna replied.
" Five times Donna. Five times my name was put up to vote and for five years I was denied. I don't want to be a part of a team that doesn't want me there in the first place. I don't owe them anything."
Kai replied in frustration.
" Besides if I joined the league, I won't be able to spend as much time with you as I want. I'll be honest with you. I've been thinking about taking a page from Wally and Artemis and just hanging up my boots for good."
Kai explained to the woman.
" Would that make you happy?"
Donna asked.
" You make me happy Donna, being here with you. if the job ever becomes too much and gets in the way of our life together. Then I'll gladly lay down my boots. but if you ask me to do it right now, then I will."
Kai said.
" Kai, you enjoy being a hero. I wouldn't ask you to give up your dream. I love you and I know you love me. That's enough for me, and besides I can always join you as a hero again."
Donna said as she kissed the man.
" Now, let me ask you a question. Would you prefer to have Dinner first, a bath, Or me?"
Donna asked with a mischievous smile on her face. She ran her hand up and down Kai's chest slowly inching lower and lower each time.
Kai smiled at the woman and picked her up, lifting her over his shoulder.
" Put me down."
Donna laughed.
" Knock it off."
Kai replied as he smacked her ass hard.
" Mmm. Hit me daddy I've been a bad girl."
Donna said seductively.
" Bad girl's get punished."
Kai responded as he smacked her ass again.
" Ah!"
Donna moaned as Kai carried her into the bedroom
