Justice League Page #3

gorilla sign language...

Silica-based

quartz sand fabric,

Abrasion resistant.

Heat resistant.

Yeah, I do...

- Competitive ice dancing.

- That's what they use...

on the space shuttle, to

prevent it from burning

up on re-entry.

I do very competitive

ice dancing.

Whoever you're looking

for, it's not me...

You're the Batman?

So you're fast.

That feels like an

oversimplification.

I'm putting together a team.

People with special abilities.

You see, I believe

enemies are coming.

Stop right there. I'm in.

You are?

Yeah. I need... friends.

People are difficult. They

require a lot of focus.

They have like a rhythm that

I haven't quite been able to...

Like, Brunch?

Like... What is Brunch?

You wait in line for an hour...

for, essentially, lunch.

I mean, I don't know.

People are...

a little slow.

I'll try to keep up.

Can I keep this?

It's like this layer of

dimensional reality...

that seems to

manipulate space-time.

I call it the Speed Force.

Causes me to burn tremendous

amount of calories...

So I am just a black

hole of snacks.

I am a "snack hole."

How many people are

on this special fight team?

Three. Including you.

Three? Against what?

I'll tell you on the plane.

Plane?

What are your superpowers again?

I'm rich.

The program always gets

twitchy with this footage.

Why are you and Bruce

Wayne looking for me?

You know who we are?

And I also know where you are.

Are you Victor Stone?

Was.

I need to speak to you.

You are.

No, face to face.

I'm old-fashioned that way.

Why would I trust you?

If I was going to attack you,

I would've done it by the lake.

Looks like you have

a date, Ms. Prince.

About time somebody here did.

Face to face.

I've been doing some tracking.

What you're looking for is

sticking to the dead zones.

It gets in front of a

camera, causes a surge.

- I'll let you know.

- That's not good enough.

Not good enough?

For you.

Look, I don't know you...

And I don't know how

you got these gifts.

Gifts?

No one else can do what you do.

No, if these are gifts...

then why am I the

one paying for them?

We need you, Victor.

And maybe you need us.

I'll be fine alone.

I told myself the

same for a long time.

I lost someone I loved once.

I shut myself off

from... From everyone.

But I had to learn to

open back up again.

The truth is I'm

still working on it.

And if you agreed to meet me...

...you're working on it, too.

Trust me, Victor.

Mayday! Mayday!

Something came

down from the sky.

Please, help me!

Whisky.

And one for Ahab there.

...from the sky...

I heard a cannon.

- It's ocean's rage.

- Then they came...

Monsters.

...from the sky.

Tore right through my boat.

Monsters...

It's on him.

You took a hell of a hit.

You all right?

At last...

The firstborn of beloved

Queen Atlanna.

Wait.

Please.

I knew her.

That makes one of us.

When my parents

fought in the wars...

- She took me in.

- What a saint.

You dare speak of Queen

Atlanna that way?

Your Queen left me

on my father's doorstep

and never gave

me another thought...

Your mother left

you to save your life.

You can't imagine

how it hurt her.

What it cost her.

But you're not a

defenseless child now.

It would've been

her responsibility...

to follow that monster

to the surface and stop it.

Now, it's yours.

Then I'm gonna need

something from you.

Leave that.

Leave it. It will never work.

I see, Mother.

I see why you

waited to summon me.

That Kryptonian's death

plunged this timid world...

into such terror.

Amazons. Atlanteans. Each

stands, and falls, alone.

I know Mother. You've waited

too long for the Unity.

I know. But

you will feed.

And my exile will

come to an end.

I will take my place

among the New Gods.

Find the last one.

Its power will

cleanse this world.

For the Unity!

For Darkseid.

Victor.

A**hole!

Eight kidnappings. 6

in Metropolis, 2 here.

All the vics worked

for STAR Labs.

Attacked by a flying vampire.

Suspect was a giant bat...

with huge fangs.

One of them was

a little kid, scared.

Won't say a word but drew this.

- Looks like...

- I know what it looks like.

Come on. You think he fights

criminals for 20 years here...

and then he goes to Metropolis

and kidnaps eight people?

I'll talk to him tonight.

The world's gone crazy,

Jim. Maybe he did, too.

You find the Cyborg?

We spoke.

Give him time.

You must be

Barry. I'm Diana.

Hi Barry, I'm Diana...

That's not right. Great.

So this is us?

Yeah. This is us.

Oh! Awesome!

That's the Bat-signal.

That's your...

Oh. Sorry.

That's your signal. That

means we have to go now.

- Yeah. That's what that means.

- That's so cool.

How many of you are there?

Not enough.

Eight people abducted

from or near STAR Labs.

Here's the potential perp.

Parademons.

Okay...

The demons must have caught

the scent of a Mother Box.

They carried people away to

find out what they know.

- So the eight might still be alive.

- Nine.

The head of STAR Labs

was taken as well.

You made it.

So then. There must

be a nest nearby.

I plotted all the sightings

in Metropolis, Gotham...

No pattern I can see.

The lines on the

map don't converge.

On land.

These lead back to Braxton Island,

between the two cities.

Gotham Harbor.

These are air vents...

they all lead down to the

tunnel from Metropolis...

project that was

abandoned in '29.

Do you really think that...

Wow. They just... They

really just vanished.

That's rude.

- Where are we, Alfred?

- Braxton Island.

You should be...

directly under the venting

tower for the tunnel.

Now, look to your left,

you should see a staircase.

It will give you access

to the machine room.

Define access.

One at a time.

The bridge may not...

...hold.

- Just tell me the truth.

- Please, just let us go.

- I have a family!

- Wrong answer.

Humans...

The stench of your fear is

making my soldiers hungry.

Shall I feed them?

You've been near the Mother Box.

- The scent is on you...

- Please.

We have families.

Why does everyone

keep telling me that?

Okay. Here's the thing...

See, I'm afraid of bugs, and...

Guns. And obnoxiously tall people.

And murder.

I can't be here.

It's really cool, you guys seem

ready to do battle and stuff, but...

Full transparency,

I've never done battle.

I just push some

people and run away.

Save one.

One?

Save one person.

Wait, which one?

Don't talk. Don't fight.

Get in. Get one out.

And then?

You go.

Okay.

Useless!

You then.

Where is my Mother Box?

I'll die before I tell you.

At last, one that doesn't whine.

But you will scream.

Dad.

Victor.

You were born of her.

A creature of chaos.

Not how I see it.

Give it time.

Amazon!

Okay.

Save one.

This one is mine.

You overestimate yourself.

Child...

My axe is still slick with

the blood of your sisters.

Alfred, I need the Nightcrawler.

I thought you'd never ask.

Crawler's on the way.

Initiating remote mode.

You good?

At the end of the hall
