Justice League Page #5

He's back.

He's not all right.

He's scanning us.

What?

Arthur, you need to relax.

Your adrenaline's spiking.

Because he's not all right.

Oh, no.

Should we bow?

Or show our bellies?

Victor...

Victor, stop.

- Sh*t!

- What are you doing?

Victor.

- It's my armor's defense system...

- No.

It's stronger since

the interface...

- I can't control it.

- Victor, no!

- Shut it off!

- Think of happy thoughts, Victor!

Kal-El, no!

He's confused, he

doesn't know who he is.

Pet Sematary.

Arthur, we need to restrain him.

I got him.

Kal-El, the last

son of Krypton...

Remember who you are.

Tell me who you...

Clark...

I know you.

Please don't make me do this.

Alfred, I need the big gun...

- You did this...

- I had to.

You won't let me live.

You won't let me die.

The world needs you.

But does it need you?

Tell me...

Do you bleed?

Clark.

Clark.

Please...

Please.

Please,

just go.

Yeah?

Let's go. Yeah...

Yeah. Something's

definitely bleeding.

The Mother Box.

He has the last one.

You brought us here.

You remembered.

This is home.

You smell good.

Did I not before?

Don't do that.

We just got our

asses handed to us

and Steppenwolf

has got the third Box.

So we find them.

If the Boxes are even

close to each other

there's going to be some kind

of energy surge.

And Steppenwolf's gonna be keeping

them somewhere where they don't read.

No internet, no

satellite coverage.

That narrows it down.

Not enough.

See, you can't find them...

...or maybe you

don't want to.

Arthur.

Yeah, that was a great way

to get rid of Superman.

Man, I'm not doing

this on purpose.

Right. Because you can't

control the machine.

Right, so is this a bad time

to bring up my blood sugar?

Very hungry...

Victor...

You can find the Boxes.

You share their energy.

I know it's frightening.

But if you go under...

I promise, we will

pull you back out.

Just keep the Little Merman

away from me while I work.

Barry, go find Alfred

in the pantry.

Then come back, get online.

Everybody check

everybody else's work.

Listen,

just wanted if you

could, put out a,

if you were, an aquatic...

You know...

Do you, talk to fish?

The water does the talking.

Of course.

If the current comes in strange,

I'm gonna point the way.

Okay.

Wait.

Let me.

Isn't this a little

out of place.

So, Clark seemed to share

your view on being woken up.

He could've killed you.

I was willing to make the trade.

And bringing in Lois Lane?

Remember what you told me

about heart, in the hangar?

I bet you...

...thought I

wasn't listening.

Thank you.

You know you can't

do this forever.

I can barely do it now.

Steppenwolf...

This is the job.

It's my job.

And I haven't been doing it.

I've been reacting.

Not leading.

You know, what you said

about Steve Trevor...

That wasn't my

business. I'm sorry.

You were pushing

me to lead the team.

But leaders get people killed.

I fought...

Always...

When I was needed.

But to lead, to

step into the light...

And to say to people:

"This is worth your life?"

When it's your fault...

They're all Steve Trevor.

We make it through tonight...

You can stay in

the shadows forever.

Dressed up like a bat.

I won't even sue.

If... we get

through the night.

Are you okay?

You brought us here, but you've

hardly spent a minute in the house.

I know... I...

Just got out of a wooden box.

What was it like...

Coming back?

Itchy.

I mean, honestly...

Weird,

in so many ways.

- But, mostly just...

- I wasn't strong.

I didn't...

You would've been

very disappointed in me.

I wasn't...

Lois Lane, dedicated

reporter. I...

I just...

It's okay.

I'm the idiot who left.

But I'm back now...

And I'm gonna make things right.

You called mom?

Of course.

Thank you.

I was hoping it was

gonna take you longer to...

...recover.

Why?

Because now, I have

to send you away.

Bruce.

He needs you.

Fate of the world. I think

that's the deal. He was...

Pretty tense.

Well, I guess I do owe him one.

Right.

But no dying.

And I get the exclusive.

Yes, ma'am.

- You're really you?

- I'm really me, ma.

At last.

Praise to the Unity.

The three is one.

Praise to the Mother of Horrors.

Is Steppenwolf there?

Sorry.

It's Porzenov.

In Northern Russia.

The Nuclear Plant.

Had a meltdown 30 years ago.

There have been some

attempts to resettle nearby...

...but it looks like

really rough sledding.

Who picks this place

to put down roots?

People that are making

it count everywhere else.

The Earth starts changing...

...it'll hit them first.

How long have we got?

A few hours.

Transport won't fly that fast.

It will for me.

The Unity brings all three

boxes together in perfect sync.

Its power builds

until it can't be contained.

But if I can cause a

delay between each box,

even for a nanosecond...

Its energy will cascade.

Form a loop.

And they'll feed on each other.

And that's it? We

just pull them apart?

No fuss, no muss?

Separating the boxes is still

gonna cause a massive surge.

I have to be there.

But you guys should

think about getting clear.

We're with you 'till it's done.

Honestly...

I think we're gonna be

dead way before that.

And you know what?

I don't mind. It's

an honorable end.

But we've gotta shut

Steppenwolf down.

Superman's

a no-show.

You've got no powers.

No offense.

This guy might be working

for the enemy. We don't know.

You're tripping over

your feet, and mine...

You're gorgeous.

And fierce...

And strong. And...

I know we went to war

with the Amazons, but...

but that was before my time.

You know what?

I don't wanna die.

I'm young. There's

sh*t that I wanna do.

I just feel like...

I didn't really embrace

the sea or the land.

I've been a loner my whole life.

But being part of

something bigger,

like this...

Maybe I'm scared because...

I'm meant to...

I think that was beautiful.

You say a word about this,

and I'll meet every prawn I know.

I honestly didn't hear anything

after "We're all gonna die."

Let them come.

I'm gonna take out that tower

and knock down that shield dome.

You get to Steppenwolf.

Don't wait for me.

Just do the job.

Alright, Alfred. Are we

set to broadcast?

Playing all your favorite hits.

Come on, follow me,

you damn insects.

They're coming.

They're all coming.

We might not have

thought this through.

He's clearing the field.

He won't last three minutes.

Then let's use them.

On my lead.

They're leaving.

Papa.

Everyone, get out!

Son of a b*tch.

This isn't the plan.

No, Master Wayne...

...this is the team.

Hey, blame the lady.

We would've left you

but she didn't ask for our vote.

So your genius move is dying?

You really are out of your mind.

I'm not the one who

brought a pitchfork.

- Ride ain't over yet.

- My man.

Is this what conquering is?

Hiding from the fight?

Oh, no...

You're all mine.

- Thanks for the lift.

- Yeah, no problem.

You got this?

These things are

gonna keep coming.
