Justice League: Throne of Atlantis Page #4

Kill the humans. For Atlantis.

For Atlantis. For Atlantis.

- Fire.

- For Atlantis. For Atlantis.

My turn.

Half-breed trash.

I won't let you ruin my plans.

Look out.

John Henry, run!

Well, I'll be damned.

Run, Jimmy!

Your skills do you honor,

Atlanteans, but you face an Amazon.

I would not want to be on her bad side.

All this was my doing.

With Orm's mommy issues

and sense of entitlement...

coaxing him into war was child's play.

Frankly, he irks the sh*t out of me.

Once we've sunk the surface world...

I'll slit his throat and claim the

treasures of Atlantis...

Outrageous.

Stop this madness, Orm.

King Orm, traitor.

This is genocide.

Billions will die. For what?

So that Atlantis can feel safe again?

Victory is the only way

to ensure our safety.

Seize her.

Make her watch my triumph.

Hey, fish head.

It seems we both

call down the lightning.

Let us see who's magic is stronger.

These are your guardians? Children?

This will be easier than I ever dreamed.

I admire your determination.

But the trident is mine

to command, Wench.

Lantern, I need information.

We're not going to win by

hitting him as hard as we can.

Bro, do not turn this

into a learning moment.

Anything.

He killed his own mother.

Does that help?

Face me, Orm.

- Cyborg.

- Error. Error. Insufficient energy.

Come on, Victor.

Error. Error. Error.

I'm here.

Lantern said Orm confessed

to killing his mother.

Yeah, to us. He lied to his people.

But you saw it.

And you know what that means?

You killed her.

I did. I ran the sword through her

myself as she mewled for peace.

You can count

yourself fortunate, bastard.

At least our mother won't be the impediment

to your life that she was to mine.

You killed her.

- I did.

- What is this?

I ran the sword through her

myself as she mewled for peace.

You can count

yourself fortunate, bastard.

Orm killed our Queen? We are betrayed.

No. Wait. This deception

is their surface magic.

Liar! I was there when Orm boasted

of the murder of our queen.

It was as you see.

I am your king. I did this for you.

Is this the king you want, Atlanteans?

A coward who lies to you?

You need a light to guide you in

the darkness, people of Atlantis.

My people.

What are you doing?

Becoming a beacon.

I was born of two worlds.

Atlantean by birth.

Human by instinct.

Join me and we will bridge

those worlds in peace.

How is that?

Let me check.

Run system diagnostic.

All systems operational.

Seems okay.

I mean, how does it feel?

Feels good.

Vic, we gotta go!

- Whoa. Am I interrupting?

- Yeah, you are.

But we can pick it up tonight.

Over dinner?

I'd like that.

That's what I'm talking about.

- Victory. Victory. Victory.

- Not cool, man. Not cool.

He looks happy.

He has found his place.

Are you free later?

If I can find my glasses.

We're standing in the middle of Atlantis.

I am totally geeking out.

Man, we have a weird job.

We need to consider

solidifying this team.

Like weekly meetings?

Yay, we're a book club now.

Batman's right.

New threats are springing up daily.

Agreed. Someone should be watching.

It's funny you say that. I've been

working on plans for a watchtower.

You can count on me. Hal?

Yeah, all right. I don't wanna miss

whatever weird crapola comes next.

We should invite Arthur.

I'm in.

He needs a codename.

Yeah? Well, online,

they're calling him "Aquaman."

Hate that.

Aquaman it is.

You won't be too busy as king?

I have seen the pressures of the crown.

I'll make it work.

I should keep a foothold in both worlds.

Besides, it'll help repair relations

if I'm seen helping out.

Well said.

You are a gifted leader indeed.

My liege, trenchers have been

spotted at the edge of the city.

Finally. I've been itching

all day for some action.

Hey, let me know when

the next meeting is.

I gotta do some king-of-the-sea stuff.

Perhaps you should stay behind me.

I'm the one with the trident.

Perhaps you should stay behind me.

You cannot keep me here.

I am of royal blood.

You will let me speak to my brother!

I am Lex Luthor.

I have a proposition for you.
