Justice League: Gods and Monsters Page #5

but that was an obligation.

She kept urging me to find a cure

for you, every day, night and day.

"Will, you've got to do something.

Will, you can't abandon him!

"Will, Will, Will!" She never let up!

And finally one day,

I'd had it and I hit her!

And her head struck a table.

She was gone.

That's when I came up with her twin.

She's made from a platinum isotope

that can mimic human flesh.

What are you doing, Will?

When I killed Tina,

I had a revelation, Kirk.

If I, the best and brightest of men,

were capable of such a monstrous act,

then what hope is there for humanity?

Such horrors would never cease.

But what if I could change it all?

Change the world, like Luthor said.

What if I could link all minds as one?

No more personal anguish.

No more hatred. No more guilt.

And this is the instrument

of your benevolence?

A nanite bomb.

When it's set off, it will project over

seven billion microscopic boom tubes

around the world.

Each tube will plant a nanite

into someone's head.

In that instant, everyone will be

connected as one.

Even the Justice League.

So why haven't you done this already?

I needed an energy source

strong enough to power it.

I needed that.

At ease, my friend.

When I'm done, your personal

suffering will end as well.

I'll get us out.

By the gods!

We've neutralized your mother box,

Wonder Woman.

Step aside, and I'll let you live.

All right, sweetheart, have it your way.

I thought he was dead.

I teleported from my ship

before the metal man destroyed it.

Unfortunately, I can't teleport

through those walls.

Luthor, move!

Trevor, you ass! Listen to me.

I've been monitoring the tower.

It's Magnus!

He's the one! If we don't stop him,

he's going to take our minds.

And I, for one, would like to keep mine.

- We're wired.

- Activate the ship's core.

Not even the boom tubes

get through. What now?

I watched one mad man

destroy my home world.

I'm not going

to let another harm this one.

Get out of my house.

It's over, Will.

Not yet.

I've made a fairly strong recovery.

I just burned all your mother boxes.

No more disappearing acts for you.

If only she hadn't wanted you.

You, who only loved your bats

and test tubes!

Wrong. I loved two people in my life.

And now they're both gone.

Fry, b*tch!

Go ahead.

Bet you taste like crap.

You'll never make it.

Low-tech, works for me.

The ship's core is destabilizing.

It's funny how things

can change so quickly.

After a while, you don't even

recognize yourself anymore.

Forgive me, Kirk.

Though it's been a week since

the showdown with Magnus' robots,

the cleanup still goes on.

As the city readjusts,

so does this reporter.

For a long time, I've thought

of the Justice League as inhuman.

But when they saved us

at a terrible risk to themselves,

I just thank heaven

they were here to protect us.

Next, she'll be sending you selfies.

I've been thinking, Kirk,

we need to shake things up a bit.

Change the way we do things.

No more politics. No more killing.

Seriously?

Something to think about.

It's time already?

What's going on?

- Our beautiful Bekka is leaving us.

- Why?

The problems of my past

linger in ways yours do not.

It's time I went back and faced them.

- By yourself?

- She has a co-conspirator.

Are you ready, my dear?

They decided a few days ago.

I've grown bored

with this universe, Batman.

Time to explore others.

- I hope you understand.

- I do, though it doesn't mean I like it.

You come to me if you need help.

I have something for you too, Superman.

The original files from your ship.

Aren't they supposed to be

with the government?

You know how things get lost

in bureaucracies.

You'll find that Kryptonian science

has dramatic applications for Earth...

in medicine, engineering, physics.

Be a real hero.

Thanks, Lex.

- Shall we?

- Please, allow me.

Looks like it's gonna be just

the two of us. Should I order out?

Why don't we get started?

I could use a science project.

Time to look ahead, Kirk.

You know what they say.

The past is like another planet.
