Chapter twelve:
Wonder Woman gripped Zeus's lightning bolt, and Hawkgirl stood up, holding her mace. 2 more Batman suit bots were flying through the glass behind Brainiac. Clark Kent flipped the table, and I went with Bruce Wayne.
"Bruce, what the hell did you create?" I said.
"Not now. Maybe later." He replied.
"If we survive." I said and ran behind the bar to grab a knife. I threw it towards one of the Batman suits and it impaled it in the chest. I then ran towards Brainiac, but he shot me with his repulsor, and I fell down into the lab. One of the legionnaires grabbed the spear, and I kicked it sideways, which didn't hurt.
I then saw half a suit advancing on Lucius Fox, so I ran towards it and threw it away.
"Wonder Woman." I said as she slammed Zeus's lightning bolt down into it.
We defeated all the Brainiac robots, and the original Brainiac started speaking again while we were recovering.
"That was dramatic. I'm sorry, I know you mean well. You just didn't think it through." Said Brainiac and Batman removed a shard of glass from his cheek and threw it on the floor.
"You want to protect the world, but you don't want it to change. How is humanity safe, if it's not allowed to evolve?" Brainiac grabbed one of the suits and looked up at us.
"With these. These puppets. There's only one path to peace." Brainiac spoke as he threw the suit back down. "The Justice Leagues extinction." Brainiac said and Wonder Woman threw Zeus's lightning bolt at him and Brainiac shattered.
"I had stringd, but now I'm free." Brainiac said, as his dying words. I then walked into the kitchen and made myself a small cup of coffee.
"That was a fun party." I said as I drank it down. "But that won't be the last of Brainiac." I said and Bruce Wayne and Billy Baston went down to the lab, so we followed them.
"All of our work is gone. Brainiac cleared it out. Used the internet as an escape hatch." Billy Baston explained.
"He's been through everything. Files, surveillance. Probably knows more about us than we know about each other." Said Dinah Lance. I sat next to Hawkgirl, and ran my hand through my hair, which was starting to get darker.
"He knows about Killerfrost and Jesse Quick then. He could try and use them against us." I said and Clark Kent nodded at me.
"Right, but where are they?" Green Lantern asked, and I shrugged. "He's in your files, he's in the internet. What if he decides to access something a little more exciting?" Said Green Lantern.
"Nuclear codes." Said Hawkgirl.
"Nuclear codes. We need to make some calls. Assuming if we can." Replied Green Arrow.
"He said he wanted us dead." Said Black Canary, but she was cut off by Superman.
"He didn't say dead. He said extinct. He also said he killed someone." Said Clark Kent.
"There wasn't anyone left in the building." Replied Hawkgirl.
"Oracle was." I said and Bruce Wayne nodded at me. The green ball of technology appeared again, but it was dysfunctional.
"I don't understand. You built this program. Why is it trying to kill us?" Said Hawkgirl.
"That's a good question." I said and Bruce Wayne started laughing.
"You think it's funny?" Diana Prince asked.
"No. It's probably not, right? This is very terrible. It is so, it is so... it is. It's so terrible." Bruce Wayne said.
"This could have been avoided if you hadn't played with something you don't understand." Clark Kent replied.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is funny. It's a hoot that you don't get why we need this." Said Bruce Wayne.
"Bruce, maybe this might not be the time." Replied Billy Baston and Clark Kent started talking about how he saved Metropolis and how we were the Justice League.
"We're the Justice League. We can bust arm dealers all the live long day, but that's up there, that's... that's the endgame. How were you guys planning on beating that?" Said Hawkgirl.
"Together." I replied.
"We'll lose." Said Dinah Lance.
"Then we'll do it together." Said Diana Prince. Wonder Woman was right Brainiac is calling us out. And I would like to find him before he's ready for us. The world's a big place. So let's start making it smaller.
(Central City.)
It was dark, and two females, were walking to the center of the city. They were walking towards the Flash museum, and entered it.
"Talk, and if you don't then you are wasting our time." Said Killerfrost.
"Did you know this museum is in the exact center of the city?" Replied Brainiac. "The mayor decreed it so that everyone could be equally close to their heroes. I like that. The geometry of belief." Said Brainiac and Caitlin Snow and Jesse Quick started walking closer to Brainiac who was standing in the middle of the museum.
"You're wondering why you can't freeze me." Said Brainiac.
"Sometimes it's hard." Killerfrost said. "But sooner or later, every man freezes to death."
"Oh, I'm sure they do. But you needed something more than a man. That's why you let Bruce Wayne take the spear." Brainiac started descending towards them.
"I didn't expect, but I saw Bruce Wayne's fear. I knew it would control him. Make him self destruct." Replied Caitlin Snow.
"Everyone creates the thing that they fear most. Men of peace creates engines of war. Invaders created the Justice. And people create children! Who are designed to supplant them, and help them out in the end." Said Brainiac.
"Is that why you've come. To end the Justice League?" Jesse Quick asked.
"I've come to save the world. But also, yeah, to end the Justice League." Replied Brainiac.
