The sea rose sky-high and continued to rise even higher. Chunks of metals, remnants of old drowned ships, waste, etc. could be seen in the turbulence, like the worst ocean storm was about to break.
Bruce activated his nanites, forming a suit over his body. Then he slapped circular devices on the girls, giving them their suits.
"Kara!" He flew up in the sky, followed by the Kryptonian. He looked at her and gave a slight nod.
Both of them took a deep breath, before expelling the air out using their super-breath to push away the waters. The waves crashed with their super breath and were thrown back violently into the sea. But it was just the tip of the iceberg. The water in the sea suddenly shot out like a giant geyser and reached the sky in a split second once again.
Kara flew closer and blew it away with her breath, but a larger amount of water appeared immediately.
"Tsk. This isn't working," She gritted her teeth as she watched the water crashing toward them. "Someone is manipulating the water."
"I know, let's freeze it," Bruce took another deep breath and then expelled it out using his ice breath to freeze the water. Kara followed him. The duo unleashed a strong gust of ice breath which froze the waters and kept freezing the new waves. And they kept their ice breath for the longest time as they watched the ice keep building up. But no matter how much they froze, the ice started cracking as if there was something alive beneath the water.
Both froze enough water.
"Diana! Do it!" Bruce yelled as he grabbed Kara's arm and flew up in the sky, "Shatter it!" He yelled as he slapped his palms together, generating shockwaves.
Kara also mimicked his action, generating her own shockwaves.
Diana moved the nanites from her arms, revealing her golden bracelets. She then rushed forward, smashing her bracelets together to generate a massive energy wave. The golden energy wave moved faster than the speed of light and struck against the thick layer of ice, along with the shockwaves generated by Bruce and Kara, smashing it to pieces.
"Pam!" Bruce yelled as he looked toward her. "Catch those fuckers!"
"Already on it!" Pamela transformed into her Poison Ivy form as she placed her palm into the freezing water. She manipulated the underwater plants. She mutated them into flesh-hungry plants and living vines. "As long as there are greens, you can't escape my grasp!" Her vines and carnivorous plants chased the Atlantean soldiers who were responsible for this mess.
The Atlanteans started running while letting out hisses. They were elite soldiers and not as easily tricked or fooled. They manipulated the water around them to launch themselves over the vines and plants like torpedoes.
"Crafty bastards," Pamela cussed as she pushed her power even further. Her green body began to shine under the sunlight as she absorbed the sunlight and converted it to her strength, "You want to fight me in daylight?!" She smiled as she spread her influence even further under the sea, bending all underwater plant life forms to her will.
Thanks to the sunlight, she was getting an endless amount of power.
The surrounding ice began to melt.
The Atlanteans were moving even faster than before, going for the vortex in the middle of the sea. The water shield around them was continuously repelling Pamela's plants, but to their surprise, all the plants stopped attacking them and were converging around the vortex. It was their escape route, but now, it was sealed within a dome of plants and vines.
"I am Poison Ivy," Pamela yelled. "I am nature's arm. Her spirit. Her will. I am Mother Nature, and the time has come for you fishes to pay for ruining our day!!"
She fused the mutated plants and created a giant beast, 'C'mom, where are you big fish?' She searches around the vortex.
The soldiers fought back. They began to shoot their blasters. Red and blue energy blasts stuck the plant dome and the giant beast, but it was useless. There was no damage at all.
Pamela launched the beast at the soldiers, intending to gobble them all. The giant mouth of the carnivorous plant beast opened. The waves began to form once again as water and remaining ice crashed as the plant chomped once, but the Atlanteans managed to dodge the first chomp. It opened its mouth once again.
'Your little fishes are gonna die if you don't show up now!' She smirked.
Suddenly, a barrage of sharp water blades appeared out of the sealed vortex, slicing through the plant dome and the beast. Pamela could see a trident spinning around the vortex.
"Bruce!" Pamela looked toward him with a thumbs up, "Lured out the boss."
"Good job! Let's go, Kara, try not to kill them," Bruce and Kara flew down into the water. Their Kryptonian physique allowed them to survive underwater.
They chased after the Atlantean troops who were retreating inside the vortex.
Bruce caught sight of the wielder of the trident, 'Woman?!'
It was an attractive woman dressed in blue with a royal cape on her shoulder. The woman's legs were covered in scales rather than skin. Her blond hair floated wildly with the movement of the waves, giving her a wild and vicious look, even if her beautiful blue eyes told a completely different story.
Kara was about to rush in, but Bruce stopped her.
'Aquawoman! Flashpoint version or some other version? Fuck! I have very little info on her, but killing her will result in an endless war. They will submerge the world in water. I can probably use the Kryptonians in Cryo to kill them all, but it would be a waste to kill someone who could potentially be our ally!' Bruce thought as he watched the soldiers disappear into the vortex.
However, Bruce wasn't just going to let her go after she ruined their vacations. He needs to remind her not to mess with him ever again.
[Crackle!] With a spark of lightning, Bruce appeared before the woman. She reacted almost instantly and hit his head with her trident.
A muffled explosion occurred from the impact as lightning surrounded the woman's hand. She lost her grip, her hand shaking as the vibration spread throughout her arm, stunning her. She let go of the trident involuntarily and watched in horror as Bruce grabbed the trident and broke it like a twig. He then pointed a finger at her face and moved it sideways as if telling her, 'No no no. Don't do that shit again.'
She gritted her teeth and jumped back into the vortex, disappearing from his sight.
A few minutes later, all returned to the beach.
Bruce quickly connected to the news network and saw that similar events had happened at various locations all over the world.
Countless people were injured, missing, and dead. There were millions of property damages due to the sudden floods. The researchers are trying to make sense of the situation since the flood has also thrown up the waste materials from the water back to the land, resulting in serious environmental pollution.
'It looks like the Atlanteans were not targeting us. They wanted to send a message to the world. A warning or a threat? They wanted to make an impact to let the people on the surface know their presence, their might,' Bruce concluded in his mind.

[Joker's hideout]
"Finally, the time has come to brew up my little concoction," Joker smiled as he was messing with chemicals in his lab. He was making a poison according to the formula that Thawne gave him, but he went further ahead and added his own... ingredient. "Atleantans vs Humans... Endless war... Water everywhere... Let's all drown in a sea of madness!" He cackles maniacally. "Eheheheheh... Ahaaahahahahaha! Can you believe it? In just three months, the chaos will unfold with my big debut."
His gang brought his ingredients into his lab and were guarding him in the facility.
"Ah, so good," His eyes shine like a crazy madman as he mixes his ingredients and plays with them. "Harl, bring me my dinner. I'm in a mood for something spicey and soupy." He yelled in between his laughter but was met with silence.
His henchmen looked at him with a blank expression. It's been a while since Harley ran away after messing up his plan. Joker wants to kill her so badly, but his old habits of asking her for food from her have developed into a subconscious habit now. He cusses before finally doing the task himself.
One of his thugs brought him his dinner.
"Fuck it!" He turned toward the guy at the gate, "How long is it gonna take to find her?" He threw the box of noodles on the floor after tasting it once, "This is garbage... Just garbage." Joker pulled out his gun, rushed up to that guy, and pressed it under his throat, "Why does food taste so bad nowadays..."
He wants to pull the trigger but stops at the last moment.
"Arggg! Find her at any cost. Make her give up her recipes and then chop off her head and bring it to me... No, no, no... I can't trust you chumps to do that good of a job. Just find her..." Joker turned around and began to walk toward his experiments, "And bring her to me. Oh, Harley, I've prepared so many fun things for you. Just come back to Mr. J. Hehehe..."
.

'Just do your fucking job, you insane lunatic. Those fish fuckers have already on the move. It's just a matter of time,' Thawne who was keeping an eye on Joker, thought. His arm began to flicker once again as if it was slowly disappearing from this reality. 'I don't have much time. Damn it! If not for these restrictions... I would have killed them all.' He clutched his chest as an old pain started resurfacing again.
He dashed off, leaving Joker for the moment.
'Need to find this Sophia Wayne. Even Gideon couldn't access her information. Everything is changing too fast...'
