Hal said he needed to go off in private and give his ring a good charge before they set out. He gave the excuse that he always liked to be prepared when he was taking his friends on a mission to save the universe. In reality he was just being polite. Batman looked like Superwoman had run him through the mill and he was sure he needed a minute to patch himself up before they went on another excursion. Even though Hal had a fancy ring, he was just a human himself and understood it was hard to ask for help among his super powered friends. In the meantime they had a moment to talk amongst themselves in Superwoman's home. Diana had snuck away, fin

Batman landed on the ground with a thud. He hopped to his feet and away just as Superwoman's Made Man took a swipe at him for getting too close to his mistress. Superwoman held her hand up in a gesture that told her henchman to pause. "Well," She began, "Since you came all this way just to see me I guess I'll have to entertain you." She smiled at her Made Man, beckoning for him to come closer. When he did she dropped the Quantum Trigger into his palm. She noted that he treated the trigger much more gingerly than she did. "Take this to Owlman right away." He closed his hands over the trigger and did a half bow. "Yes, ma'am." He eyed Batman. "D

J'edd J'arkus was waiting on Ultraman's arrival. He had one of the maids make some coffee and refreshments. He didn't bother trying to keep the coffee warm. It was just for show anyway. Ultraman wouldn't eat anything he laid out for him but J'arkus knew he would complain if he didn't. Ultraman still wasn't due for another thirty minutes so he had time to kill. J'arkus turned on the video monitor and peeked at the security footage for his special room. He watched with some amusement at M'yri'ah and Rose fumbled along the walls for an escape. Normally he didn't house two women in the same cell together as they could break through his security

M'yri'ah could hear voices speaking as she slowly began to wake up. She could hear a girl whimpering in pain near her. For an insane moment she thought she was hearing her sister, then she realized it was Rose. She remained on the floor with her eyes closed and listened as the voices came into focus. "Got a two for one I see." Ultraman said. "I guess our intel was right. She is that Martian Luthor is so fond of." He seemed annoyed that J'arkus brought her here. Johnny glanced over at J'edd. "Did you bring her here 'cause you're still pissed off that she doesn't think you're pretty?" He could tell by J'arkus' expression that he hit the nail

M'yri'ah and J'onn sat on separate chairs as Rose channel surfed in the living room. Rose had insisted they sit with her rather than stand to the back like the rest of her guards. She saw the two of them as guests to entertain. Slade had poured himself a drink and sat down as well. He didn't seem to mind their presence. Rose stopped on the news and crossed her arms. Ultraman was on the screen, looking as pleasant as he could. He was opening a new public park today and was cutting the ribbon. Everyone in the crowd seemed to be quite happy with him. Rose scoffed. "He murders people, and yet he can open a park and everyone just loves him." It m
