Back at the Watchtower headquarters, Raiden stood by the glass of the med bay, staring in at the chaos inside. Batman was there too, going over a list he held in his hand. It was obvious from his face that the news wasn't good.
"Wonder Woman and Blue Beetle are in critical condition," Batman spoke going over the list of their injured friends. "Martian Manhunter and Aquaman... same thing, but they'll make it. Zatara though... it's been twelve hours since his operation started…. and we're still not sure if he's gonna make it."
Raiden's frown deepened as he looked at the others lying there in pain, He turned to Batman. "What about Zatanna? Is she alright?"
Batman nodded, though his face didn't really change in expression as per usual for him "She's been with him the whole time, I've already sent Nightwing to comfort her, you don't have to worry about her"
Raiden let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding ("God damn it, I was the one that sent them to battle….Knowing that some of them are injured because of choices I made is hard, or even dead….But I have to stay strong, this is merly a fraction of a King's responsibilities, and I chose that Path")
"*sigh* what about the one I brought in?" Raiden asked, still annoyed due to the earlier information
This was the first time Raiden noticed that Batman was visibly upset as he spoke "Batgirl's in critical condition too, She's tough, so she'll survive, but... I still don't recognize her, Even after seeing her face, hearing her name... nothing, Her name is similar to Commissioner Gordon's so I asked him, but he doesn't recognize her either."
The idea of a father forgetting his own daughter made Raiden's blood boil. "Whoever did this is going to pay, I'll make sure of it," he spoke, trying to keep his anger in check after all he'll have time to unleashe it…Soon
"And what about The Big guy?"
"Superman will wake up soon," Batman said, his tone flat. "He wasn't hurt, just... incapacitated."
Raiden shook his head, frustration bubbling up. "How has he not figured out a way to deal with Kryptonite? Neil took him out in seconds. If I wasn't there…..He could've…Died *Sigh* what about the others?"
"I'll handle it, don't worry about it, you are already stressed as it is" Batman replied, he then added "you focus on our next move?"
Raiden clenched his fists in anger as he said "Meet me in the conference room, We need to talk about what Batgirl found out"
…
A few minutes later, Raiden, Batman, Merlin, Scáthach, and Doctor Fate were all sitting around the big table in the Justice League's Watchtower meeting room. The screens around them showed battles still raging in places like Nigeria, Montevideo, and Metropolis. Paris and Tokyo had calmed down, but the rest of the world was still a mess.
Batman broke the silence first. "We're all here. What's the plan?"
Raiden leaned forward, trying to organize his Ideas as he started to mention what Batgirl had reported to him, after a while, he concluded "As of now, We Know Owlman and Superwoman are working together with Firstborn, but their alliance With Neil doesn't make sense, if what he told me is true, Neil came here to save his world, not destroy it"
Batman frowned, obviously trying to piece things together. "So there's a split in their ranks? You think Neil Queen was betrayed?"
"Exactly," Raiden said, feeling like he was finally getting somewhere. "The Light would have never agreed to help Neil if his plans was to destroy the word! The Light while weaker and dismantled still holds the same principal, and that is to control Earth not destroy, as for Neil... Neil's after something else. He wants souls, thousands of them. With those souls, he could summon Empty Hand, an entity I told you about before, and presumably offer me to him, in exchange for his world"
Raiden paused for a second, making sure everyone was following. "I don't think Owlman and Firstborn are on board with that. From what I've seen, Firstborn is the one behind those tentacle monsters they appeared first on Tokyo, where he was supposed to emerge, and he's also Avoided Scathach at all costs…A god Killer, as for the memory wipes affecting Flash, Johnny, and Batgirl, I have no idea how or who did that"
Merlin finally spoke up. "My Lord, I think they're after something bigger, We already know their Goal is Prime Earth…But what is Prime Earth? I think I have a theory, Prime Earth might be the Origin of our multiverse's Earths,If our Earth let's call it sixteen and theirs is let's say Twenty Six, then the Prime Earth might be Earth One or to be more accurate to my Theory Earth Zero."
Scáthach, who'd been listening quietly, narrowed her eyes. "So you are saying there's an Origin Earth that created all the others?"
Doctor Fate nodded. "It's possible. The multiverse works on the idea that every action creates a new world. But what if there was a world where nothing happened, the first of them all? If that Earth is destroyed, It could trigger a chain reaction that undoes all of the multiverse, you can't grow a tree without a Seed"
Merlin nodded along, his face serious. "Exactly, They want to destroy the Prime Earth, not ours, but if they succeed than the consequences would be catastrophic"
Batman leaned back, doubt on his face. "Creating a bomb that could destroy an entire planet the size of Earth... that's nearly impossible. Even The Warworld couldn't do it with just one bomb. It would take hundreds if not thousands of Nuclear bombs to achieve something similar"
Raiden's eyes widened as he finally understood. "That's why they need Neil, I was wondering why they saved him if they had planned to betray him, and now I understand it, His power is what they need! He can absorb energy, and with enough time, he could get the amount of energy needed to destroy a planet, They sent him to fight me to drain my and supply him"
Everyone went quiet, Understanding the gravity of what Raiden was saying
Scáthach broke the silence, "What about Flash and Johnny? What do they need them for?"
Raiden nodded, having already thought this through. "If they can run fast enough, far enough back in time, they could open a gateway to the Prime Earth. That's the enemy's plan."
Batman was the first to speak, his voice low. "So, what do we do now?
Raiden stood up, an outlet to unleash his anger has now been created, as he spoke "We're going to Bialya, All of us."
Batman immediately shook his head. "We can't Bialya considers us enemies now. We'd be fighting the military, endangering civilians. We've been banned."
Raiden's expression was full of anger, his eyes locking with Batman's. "I told you before—I plan to be the king of this world. I won't be shackled by the rules of mere Politicians, Some people might suffer, Die or have their lives ruined, but to save the world, sacrifices must be made, You know this, Bruce, we have no choice, we are going there"
He turned to the rest of the group. "Our main target is Superwoman, Find her and She'll lead us to Owlman, and through him, we'll find Firstborn, if things turn Chaotic, than Scáthach, you are to deal with Superwoman. Batman, you handle your counterpart, Owlman, Firstborn is the most mysterious, I'l take him on, he is mine. If Neil shows up, leave him to Fate as for you Merlin…. no more hiding. It's time we show them what we're really capable of, Go All Out"
Merlin bowed his head, with a grin as his voice softly chuckled and said "As you wish, my Lord."
