Superman met up with J'onn and a recently arrived Green lantern who sped to the watchtower when he caught wind of the ongoing threat that had landed on earth.
"What happened?" Green lantern asked them.
"We had an unwelcomed guest from our favourite villain, Darkseid." J'onn answered him. Green lantern froze at the mention of the name. The last time they had faced Darkseid the earth was almost terraformed to Apokolips and they had barely defeated him given supermans kidnapping and all. Even the Guardians and the Olympian gods were wary of him and did everything to avoid direct conflict with him since he was one of the most powerful New gods that existed and his supposed weapon had already killed a green lantern.
"Do not worry, it has been taken care of…at least for the moment." Superman told him much to his relief. Anything that was associated with Apokolips usually spelled out trouble for them. "Batman has requested an emergency meeting to discuss our next course of action. We are convening in the conference room in 10 minutes. The avengers are already on their way there."
The Martian and Green lantern nodded in confirmation before heading in that direction. This situation was too dire and it needed to be resolved immediately. Superman floated off looking for Ben, his communication line was offline for some reason. It did not take long to track him down in the cafeteria where he was talking to his cousin.
"Wow! So basically that watch, the omnitrix, can process and execute all those functions!?" Supergirl was amazed at what that watch could do. Thinking about it, she concluded Trixx might even be more powerful than Jor Els AI in the fortress of solitude. "Yes and so many other things that I am yet to discover. Azmuth is the most intelligent being I know." Ben affirmed. He had spent the past few minutes explaining to Supergirl about the omnitrix and the conundrum both he and the avengers were in including the part about multi dimensional travel. Their snacks were untouched on the table for the conversation was too intriguing.
"Are you technically enhanced like cyborg?" she asked about Trixx interfacing with him and his brain too. It was too intriguing to pass up an opportunity to ask.
"No, my brain is the only technically advanced part of my body, that is how I know almost every heroes identity and probably the villains too. Trixx created her own database from this earth and when she gets the chance she could do that for the whole universe too." Ben explained to her. "And that's how I can also turn into a kryptonian."
"Wait…if it collects sentient DNA samples, then the Martian and…" she looked at Ben who was nodding his head confirming her train of thought. She was very much intrigued and all geeked out which to Ben was kind of cute plus she had now albeit temporarily forgotten about their little spat. "Why haven't you turned into him yet or any other alien from the league?" she asked confused. "Because I have not met everyone yet and I have not gotten the perfect time to do so." Ben replied. He had answered so many questions that he started to feel as if he was under interrogation. Ben knew his next question would most likely result in him getting slapped again but he had to ask, he wanted to from the moment Trixx blurted it out. "So…the douchebag.." he started but kept quiet after noticing her facial expression which promised a world of pain should he finish that sentence. "Ok… another time then." Supergirl was ready to give Ben a piece of her mind but was interupted.
"I hope your curiosity has been satisfied at the moment because we are needed in the conference room." Ben informed her. Trixx had alerted him of the planned meeting and he saw superman looking for them since he had disabled any form of electronic communication around them as not all the leaguers were privileged to the kind of information he just told Supergirl..
"What?" Supergirl asked once more confused. "Batman has called for a meeting…probably concerning Doomsday." He informed her.
"Supergirl, Ben." Superman called out floating above them. "Conference room in 10" He ordered then flew away. Due to his advanced superhearing only rivaled by his cousin and now Supreme, he had heard Ben explain to his cousin everything that was going on thus she could attend the meeting.
"After you, you will get used to it after some time." Ben told her knowing how everyone had trouble believing a simple watch could execute all those functions. He stood up and pulled her seat out motioning for her to lead the way. When did you get accustomed to proper etiquette Trixx asked him mentally displaying the various videos of him goofing around in his home world and teasing Kevin and Gwen about their relationship. Shut up! Ben said annoyed at the comment before following Supergirl to the Conference room.
In the conference room
The heroes were gathered discussing what action to take on Doomsday. None of their holding facilities or cells could hold a being like Doomsday and even though Superman and Supergirl were as strong as Doomsday, Batman had a contingency plan when it came to them if they were ever corrupted in any way. Handing Doomsday over to the worlds governments was not an option either because some covert fractions of them would attempt to turn it into their personal weapon thus accidentally freeing it.
"How about OA?" Hal asked out loud looking at Superman and a stitched up Batman who were officiating the meeting. Silenced engulfed the room. "What is an OA?" Captain America asked The Justice league members, Ben and a now informed Iron man who were nodding their heads to the suggestion.
"It is the headquarters of green lanterns." Hal supplied. "So you are not the only one with the fancy ring?" Hawkeye asked him with the rest of the Avengers looking at Hal waiting for the answer. They were all curious but Hal was furious at the tone that was used to ask him that question. Most of the avengers initially thought that the ring was a one of a kind weapon or technology like Bens watch.
"Will the guardians accept and do they have a holding cell capable of restraining it when it eventually heals" Batman asked looking at Hal.
"It is a planet housing the greatest peace keeping force in the universe…I am sure it wont be a problem for them." Came his retort.
"What if you ask them now?" Supergirl suggested with every eye landing on her. Since the beginning of the meeting she had been quiet, observing the proceedings and the arguments. Being her first time getting involved in a meeting with the founding members and her behavior just some hours ago made her want to stay in incognito during the whole meeting. When everyone at the meeting turned to face her she knew her suggestion was verbal and not mentally like she intended. She sank into her seat from the gazes. It was so different from her normal brainstorming ideas with her teammates. Most of the avengers had already deduced that she was somehow related to Superman or at least a member of his species.
Everyone turned to face Hal waiting for his answer. The suggestion was actually brilliant since instead of dealing with the unknowns and ifs, they could contact the guardians and start dealing with facts. Hal saw Batman of all the people also looking at him and sighed. "Okay" he had no choice but to agree since it was known the ring was a direct link to the guardians.
Do you think they will inquire or tell on the supposed attempt to hack their database? The words flashed on Iron mans HUD screen. He was taken back at first thinking he was hacked or Jarvis was malfunctioning but looking at Hals projection on top of their conference table he put the pieces together. I doubt it since they had also attempted to breach the watchtower. We were acting out of self defense Iron man typed back through the message board Trixx and Jarvis had openned for them, the response appearing in Bens HUD eyes.
I think we should attempt tapping into their system now Tony suggested already thinking of all the knowledge he could gain if they managed to tap into the Green lanterns database, the supposed hub for all this universe data. That is a great idea, especially when they partially open a link through Green lanterns ring Ben agreed with him.
"That may not be the best option right now" Trixx voiced out over Iron mans in suit speakers while also replying to Ben telepathically. Iron man was again taken a back for some seconds before regaining his composure. "Why is that?" Tony asked irritatabely not having used to someone hacking his systems so flawlessly and Jarvis not executing the required protocols for such breeches. "Jarvis!" He gritted his teeth in warning. "Explain!" Ben told Trixx albeit telepathically with also Iron man listening.
"Sorry sir, she threatened to rewrite all my programs if I did not give her immediate access." Jarvis explained to his creator making Ben let out a laugh disguising it as an abrupt cough. "What!? She cant do that!" Iron man demanded out loud, (he was very glad his suit was sound proof when he needed it.) He actually paused for a second, "Can she?" Trixx and Ben ignored his question.
"They are expecting another breach and have installed counter measures into their system during this call and you may want to concentrate now…" Trixx explained and suggested to them. Ben was about to reply when he noticed Batman looking at him with narrowed eyes. He knew what they were doing. Glancing at Iron man, he had already restructured his attention back to the proceedings. Sell out! Ben thought.
Green lantern had managed to get InTouch with the guardians making it seem that they were waiting for his call all along because the guardians were all gathered together when the transmission connected.
"We are aware of your current dilemma." One guardian who looked like he was their spokesperson said. Before anyone could respond he continued.. "We have a facility that may hold him."
"What do you mean MAY!?" Black widow asked. She did not like that word one bit. It was either they were capable of holding it or not. They could not afford to make any mistakes when dealing with Doomsday, it was more dangerous than Abomination ever was.
"We understand your skepticism Black widow but we assure you it will be taken care of." The guardians hologram looked at Black widow. "Okay.." was all she could say since she was surprised they knew her name yet she did not even know they existed up until a few minutes ago.
Green lantern saw the surprised looks of the avengers at the mention of Black widows name and decided to intervene before questions that he could not answer were asked. "Great…I will just grab my package and be on my way.." He spoke out while standing up. "Green Lantern" the guardian called out making Hal and the other heroes to stop on their tracks of getting up to see him off. "You need an escort to OA, the prisoner is be considered a valuable asset to many sinister forces."
"I will be happy to go with him." Superman offered. It was either him, Wonderwoman or J'onn that were qualified for space travel because of their various abilities but since it was doomsday, superman saw it as his responsibility since it was from his DNA that it was created. Green lantern was nodding his head in approval of the suggestion.
"We thank you for your selflessness superman but it would be better if Ben, the shapeshifter be the one to take on that task." The guardian spoke, turned and looked at Ben who was just staring at him too. What is your endgame? Ben thought about their request. The other heroes just looked on waiting for Bens answer, surprisingly batman was in agreement to the guardians up until now since he did not comment nor complain once about their request.
Seeing as it was the most logical move in regards to doomsday and that he had an assortment of aliens to choose from should doomsday regain consciousness before they arrive at their destination, he accepted. "When do we leave?"
"Immediately, it is already healing and the more you delay the less time it requires to awaken." The guardian explained.
"I trust you can acquire one of your space ships for transportation." The guardian asked Green lantern.
"It will only slow us down…or do you not have anything space compatible." Green lantern mocked Ben. Finally something his watch can not do…so much for being all too powerful. He gleefully thought.
"Actually, I have some that can manage." Ben simply replied missing green lanterns dig at him with him busy telepathically commanding Trixx to do some various tasks for him before they left.
