Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths Page #3

---

When did you turn into a coward?

J'ONN J'ONZZ:

He is not a coward.

Men who have seen battle...

...are often among those

who hold life most dear.

-How did you know what I was thinking?

-It was an accident.

I didn't mean to read your mind.

There's a saying on my world:

''The only thing necessary for the triumph

of evil is for good men to do nothing.''

It's easy for someone like you

to be brave.

But most of us aren't bulletproof.

Sir, I stand up to guys more powerful

than I am all the time.

You can do the same.

That simple, huh?

I'm sorry, Mr. President,

but we're not about to give up this fight.

Not when we finally have a chance

to win it.

-Aren't you supposed to be helping?

-I am helping.

I'm improving the ambiance.

In a way, that's what I'm planning to do.

After all, what good is a bomb

if you don't detonate it?

You never had any intention of using

the QED for bIackmall.

You're going to use it to kill everybody.

What if I am?

Just tell me. Why?

Why not?

I'm serious.

I'm a murdering psychopath.

It's part of my charm.

I do find it attractive.

But you never make a move

without a reason.

Why would you want to destroy

the world?

Because it's the only action one could take

that would have any purpose.

You Lost me there.

Every decision we make is meaningless...

...because somewhere, on a parallel Earth,

we have already made the opposite choice.

We're nothing.

Less than nothing.

How can you say that?

We're rich. We're conquerors.

And here we're poor. We're slaves.

And here, our parents never met,

so we were never born.

Here, the world ended in nuclear war.

Here, no fish was ever brave enough

to crawl up on land...

...and humans never evolved.

And so on, ad infinitum.

So even if you destroy the world,

there are a billion others, right?

What difference would it make?

Somewhere in the multiverse,

there is a world I call Earth Prime.

Every Earth is a variation of this one,

the original.

And once I destroy it,

all reality will follow.

I take it back.

You're much crazier than I am.

Don't get in my way.

To the contrary.

I'm in.

I thought I might find you here.

-I'm not talking to you.

-Then listen.

You're going to have to stop speaking out

against the Syndicate. At Least in public.

You know, when I was a little girl,

you were my hero.

What's happened to you?

Maybe we both grew up.

ULTRAMAN:

Kids, huh?

They drive us crazy, but we'd still

do anything to protect them. Am I right?

What do you want?

Saw your daughter on the news

the other night.

-She's got a mouth on her.

-It's a free country.

We both know better than that.

You get your little girl under control,

or I'll do it for you.

Remember what happened

to the First Lady.

If you come near my daughter,

I will nuke you.

You hear me?

ULTRAMAN:

Yeah, the nukes.

-Great equalizer, huh?

-Uhn!

Well, Let me tell you something,

Mr. President.

My boys are working up a bomb

of our own.

Nice place.

I think I'm gonna like it here.

I'm getting bored again.

Did you find Earth Prime?

Still Looking. But I found something else.

Luthor took the quantum trigger

to a parallel Earth.

Would you be a dear...

...pop over to the universe next door

and pick it up for me?

COMPUTER VOICE:

Perimeter breach. Potential intruder alert.

Perimeter breach. Potential intruder alert.

It's here. Spread out and find it.

You're on my property. Stand down.

You're in over your head.

Back off before I come over there

and hurt you.

Insect.

Stay down. You're outnumbered.

Count again.

You guys are in trouble.

Take them.

Careful, Aquaman.

They're stronger than you are.

That remains to be seen.

Okay, this is gonna be tougher

than I thought.

Wanna hear a secret?

You've got possibilities, little man.

But, sadly,

I don't have time to play with you.

Let's go.

-Take this to Owlman.

-Yes, mistress.

What about him?

Oh, I'm sure I'll think of something.

ROSE:
We're all here for the same reason.

We're tired.

Tired of living in fear.

Tired of our elected officials

bending over for vicious criminals.

It doesn't have to be that way.

Joining me today are elected officials

who aren't afraid to act.

Judges, prosecutors, police officers...

...and brave people

like each and every one of you.

Together we can win. Together we--

Excuse me.

No. Stay away from me.

How Long have you been watching me?

My apologies for the deception.

I doubt this will be the Last attempt.

With your permission,

I'll continue to keep close watch on you...

...until the immediate crisis has passed.

That would be Just fine.

Nice moves.

You remind me of my boyfriend.

Whatever will I do with you?

I could use this to send you away.

Perhaps to here...

...an Earth where humanity has mutated

into hideous creatures of the night.

No. You might like that.

Oh. Here's a good one.

A cold, uninhabited Earth,

where you'll slowly starve to death...

...if you don't freeze first.

Or it might be fun to keep you as a pet.

Here. Let me do that.

-Your call.

-Sorry.

You're not my type.

That's going to cost you a rib.

Aah! Ow!

I like my lovers to make a little noise.

What else can I break?

You think you can hide from me

with a smoke bomb?

BATMAN:

It's not smoke.

It's anesthetic gas.

Batman to Justice League.

Aah.

You sure that will hold her?

-What did you hide on my satellite?

-I don't know what you're talking about.

What was so valuable

that the Crime Syndicate...

...would cross dimensions to get it?

-Did you keep it from her?

-Her henchman escaped with it.

Whatever it was.

It's the quantum trigger,

the detonator for a bomb they're building.

Without it, we could fight them,

but now--

Why didn't you Just destroy it?

It's pure energy. It can't be destroyed.

Okay. They've got it.

What's the worst-case scenario?

LEX:
They could use it to set off an explosion

that would wipe out the entire Earth.

You think too small.

Where's Superwoman?

Probably Just blowing us off.

Like I should have.

We're not waiting anymore.

Let's get started.

People aren't as intimidated

as they used to be.

I should go down for a Jog

and terrorize the straights.

Even regular law enforcement's

starting to show some backbone.

Archer got himself arrested.

Public opinion wouldn't be an issue

if the bomb were ready.

The QED is nearly complete.

I have agents out

gathering some equipment.

Sorry, sorry to come in

without permission...

...but Superwoman said

to bring this right to you.

You don't have to wear that disguise.

No one can see in here.

I thought it would make you

more comfortable.

Just the opposite.

I'd like to get to know the real you.

That's better.

-Are you really from Mars?

-Yes.

And can all Martians read minds?

Could. I am the Last survivor.

I apologize for reading your mind before.

It is considered extremely impolite to do so

without permission.

I didn't mind.

It seemed, I don't know, natural.

We are attuned.
