Chapter 71 - 69

Justice League HQ:

Having confirmed that Mars isn't a lifeless world the justice league became even more tense. Martian Manhunter has agreed to be sequestration until his innocence can be determined. Hawkgirl decided to remain at the watchtower to watch over the situation meanwhile Hawkman has decided to take a much more personal approach. The invasion has been delayed multiple times and the Thanagarian leaders were becoming restless.

Outside of the Thanagarian invasion the members of justice league were beginning to form factions due to Green Arrow. Heroes like Plastic man remain neutral and trying to prevent a schism from within the justice league. While Superman and batman remain conservative in their ideals of not taking action against Julian. Green Arrow and Hawkman are part of the radical faction saying he is too dangerous to leave alone. As for Hawkgirl she is officially part of the neutral faction while puppeting the radicals. Officially none of these factions exist within the justice league as they are a unified organization with a singular purpose of ensuring the safety of the world.

....

The prototypes were finished and we have already decided on an asteroid a third the size of the moon. Under Thoris's advisement we decided to bring Poison Ivy with us the day of the test. Thanks to bullshit comic logic these things not only create energy Shield strong enough to nurture atmosphere but also create water from energy. Not to mention that it terraforms wherever it is placed to earth specifications. What I didn't count on was Harley inviting herself along assuming that this would be some kind of epic adventure despite everyone saying otherwise.

Harley: So not mister J when will we get into a epic dogfight in space or will we rescue some alien princess! oh! Will be fighting some intergalactic empire trying to invade the earth! How dare they come after my world! Wait are we going to be space pirates rading defenseless... mhppp! (Hand covers her mouth)

Ivy: I am so sorry about her. She can be a bit much at times but she means well... sometimes... hopefully this time

Selena: I suppose I am partially responsible I should have warned you that Harley usually hangs out with Ivy and me. Usually when she's not causing trouble or sometimes when she is or when we team up together... I am not making this better am I?

Felicia: No you really aren't helping your case

Ivy: Speaking of which since when have you been working with Shield

Selena: I don't I work with Julian independently

Harley: So you ditched us to go hang out with some rich weirdo? Sure he's hot but I saw him in a news special talking about having a harem! What woman would be okay with that! Wait... Ivy don't tell me that this is the guy that you were talking about?!

Thoris: I would advise to stop bad mouthing my husband right infront of me

Harley: Or what?

Thoris: Or I can launch you out of the air lock and see if you can survive pure vacuum

"Please don't Thoris I would rather complete this test and head home than waste time upsetting Isley by launching her pretty little friend into space"

Thoris: So you don't want this to interfere with your courting of this super villain? Well she is powerful and beautiful, she would produce talented offspring I approve. I hope you don't have any interest in the clown she isn't worth the effort.

Harley: Fuck you too bitch. He would be lucky to have me!

"Luka did our scans detect anything wrong with our target"

Luka: Nothing sir still the same lifeless rock with a similar makeup to earth as last time when I scanned it

Fortunately we reached our destination before Harley could continue. We immediately began moving the asteroid with rockets just enough that it wouldn't continue to collide with other asteroids inside the belt. The whole endeavor was a herculean task but finished without issue. Finally after installing the devices all over the asteroid it was time to begin the test.

Hawkman: Whatever you have planned I suggest you stop right now

Well shit... and here I thought Harley was going to be my biggest challenge when I came here.
