OA
"What have you found out about them?" One guardian asked the almeraci general walking a step behind his Queen who was conversing with the other guardians.
"Nothing. The two prisoners taken are of no use to us." The general gritted his teeth at the thought of not knowing the identity of an enemy to Almerac.
"What do you mean?" the guardian had a confused expression on his face. "If they have resisted cooperating we can be of help to that."
The general paused and looked at floating figure beside him, "No one refuses my Queen," he stated as a matter of fact. "They used cyanide pills before she could get to them."
As a general he commended it as an efficient way to prevent captured warriors from talking even though at the moment he didn't think so highly of it.
"And as you have already figured it out, the others are useless. We had to kill their queen. She couldn't be subdued." General MC added.
"We have increased and upgraded security around the planet. This will never happen again." The general declared looking at his Queen, vowing to her in the process.

"What makes you think its Lex luthor?" Superman asked Batman in their newly designated control room for conducting all things multidimensional travel. Banner had followed them up from the infirmary.
"He was spotted in Gotham before and after the attack." Batman reasoned. Cyborg had dug up a cctv footage that caught a glimpse of the billionaire in a car.
"Maybe he was there on business?" Superman suggested. "Just saying" he added when the vigilante gave him one of his bat glares.
"Why don't you just arrest him?" Banner spoke up. From all the articles he read of the billionaire, only a handful of them were not tied to conspiracies or an organized crime.
"He has connections." Batman answered. If Luthor had been an ordinary criminal he could have already been rotting in a jail cell.
"Then we'll have to wait for Oliver to recover so he can give us his report." Superman suggested. "In the mean time we'll have to find waller." Batman had already brought him up to speed in regards to Nightwings attack. They could be connected.
"I'm getting closer to that" batman filled him in. "Where are your team members?" He asked Banner after scrolling through his tablet. "Ben and Hal have been assigned on another mission." He informed them.
"Where?" Superman asked. Maybe he could join them later.
"The flash hasn't specified the details yet. You bored with earth already?"
They both turned at the sound of the Scoff from Banner. "This place is way more interesting than ours." He wasn't wrong when he was staring at a person with godly powers who could shoot heat lasers from his eyes and could fly.
"Maybe. But it's also more dangerous than your place. That's why we should keep tabs on everyone." The latest attacks proved that the villains are no longer afraid to take lives.
"That's true. Everyone is super powered in this universe." Banner agreed. "That doomsday guy could give the hulk a run for his money."
"He's that strong" Superman stated. He felt his strength.
"Possibly. His strength is directly proportional to his anger." Banner explained.
"That's why black widow wanted you to stand down." Batman recalled a conversation he had with the female hero.
"Yes. That fight would have ended with one of us dead and probably most of the United States destroyed."
"How do you figure?" Superman asked intrigued.
"The hulk smashes, he won't stop to consider damage he may cause when fighting. The same method as doomsday." They both stored that new information revealed. "Plus considering their regenerative abilities, that could have been a lengthy fight."
"Have you thought about controlling it?" the man of Steel wondered aloud. "of course you have" he retracted his statement at the faces both heroes gave him. What kind of question was that.
"I noticed your healing ability is quiet efficient." Superman couldn't help but add. "The same rate as doomsday" Batman tuned in again.
"The same thing with strength, they're proportional" Banner offered him the information.
"Luthor didn't see that one coming when he tried infiltrating your base." Batman recalled the footage caught by the avengers cctv cameras. Bruce had since discovered that Banner and Tony were more like geniuses but there alter egos was not something to be desired. The hulk was a raging beast while Tony had an entitled alter ego.
The comms system lit up before a projection of a guardian appeared.
"Greetings Superman, Batman and Bruce" the guardian greeted the group.
"Greetings. Hal and Supreme have already departed." Batman informed him knowing it may be important to have them confirm their departure.
Banner still had a smile on his face while he stared at the alien.
So different than ours. Maybe the hulk could exist here without it causing trouble. Plus if he ever got out of control, superman or one of the leagues top hitters could subdue him.
"I wish to speak to you, superman." The guardian revealed. "Queen Maxima is in OA for a courtesy call and her next destination would be earth if she does not speak to Hal Jordan."
"A justice league representative is required to answer the queen's questions." The guardian continued.
"If we don't go, she will come to earth" superman looked worried. Earth cannot handle Maximas temper tantrums.
"You could take J'onn?" Batman suggested aware of Maxima and supermans history.
"J'onn is busy" He reminded him. "He needs to help team arrow recover. They need him. I can handle her."
This was going to be the longest 48hours of his life. The things I do for earth!
