Superman had rarely been seen since he confessed to being Clark Kent. Some had simply presumed he had left Earth entirely but this was not the case. Kal-El sat alone in his Fortress of Solitude, he knew many of his allies had disappeared after the registration act had been put in place, mainly Bruce Wayne, The Batman, one of Clark's closest friends had now seemed to vanish. Clark strolled through his trophy room reminiscing about all the opponents the league had faced, Brainiac, Starro, Lex Luthor. But those times were gone and now many of those he once fought alongside are now outlaws. Clark had kept in touch with Barry, when someone is so fast they can be anywhere at anytime you tend to run into them a bit. Clark new Barry was going to reveal his identity today and tuned in on one of the monitors in the fortress. He watched all the preamble and the thanks that Barry modestly brushed away and then there was the moment of truth. Clark watched intently as Barry removed his mask and then... No! It can't be Barry lay dead a bullet embedded in his skull. Clark stood there for a moment mouth agape before shouting in rage. Why Barry, why now! Clark burst out of the roof of the fortress and began flying headed straight for Metropolis, it was time The Man of Steel returned.

Bruce Wayne:
Bruce Wayne woke up in a sweat but had no idea why. It was 2.37pm and he turned on his television before getting a drink. "This is Lois Lane live in Metropolis as The Flash is officially revealing his identity after years of hiding away. Here he goes"...within 5 short seconds while Bruce was filling his mouth with water he witnessed a close friend die. Screams coming from Lois Lane's lips and the image of the Mayor of Metropolis with Barry's blood all over his face. Bruce smashed the glass in his hand as he clenched his fists. "Jesus Christ Mr. Wayne your hand!" said Alfred. "Screw my hand! its time". Wayne stormed down the dusty stairs towards the safe haven picking the glass from his bloodied hand.
There it stood like a figure. The one thing splitting Gotham from Heaven and Hell. The most intimidating thing to walk the streets....The Dark Knight Returns

Joker giggled and rubbed his hands together excitedly as he sat, his feet kicked up on his table. Joker grinned wider, showing his bright teeth and accenting the curves of his huge smiling face. Feeling suddenly restless, he jumped off the couch, stepped over the table, and pulled his phone out of his pocket, checking for messages from his new assassin. Deadshot. The guy got the job done! It was good, although not as fun as he'd have liked. But what could one raving, homicidal maniac do on his own? Only so much without supporters.

Harley hugged Joker's arm and looked at his phone, but was quickly pushed back. She hit the ground with a grunt and sighed, crossing her arms and standing.

"Just go do something productive Harley! I'm working, and don't have time for you!" he snapped, looking at her and bringing his phone to his ear. Harley stuck her tongue out at him as he turned away and walked out of the room. She sat at the table in the dining room and tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table.

"Deadshot! How goes the shooting? I saw the nice clean one you got on that speedy hero! Niiice work!" Joker yacked into the phone, smiling. Harley lazily pat Bud's head in the kitchen, the hyena wagging his tail and laying his head in her lap.

Oliver Queen sat upon the Island's forest floor in a meditative state, his heart beat the slowest it had ever been, his breathing slow and controlled, and his eyes closed as he listened to the activity of the animals that roamed this heavenly place for sustance. His bow, a simple wood carving lay before the old man, and his arrows in the quiver pouch slung over his back. The birds in the trees only a half mile away flew away in a moment of instinctual panic, setting off nature's chain reaction occured, setting off the other animals.

An adult bengal tiger charged out of the bushes before the old man, but Oliver was ready, and a second later the tiger was dead at his feet.

Finally opening his eyes, he saw the faint glow of Hal Jordan's ring eminating where the birds flew away from. "What is it this time?" He yelled out to the only other human on the Island and jumped to his feet.


Lex Luthor, a businessman sat in his private jet as it flew over the Pacific Ocean, he watched the footage of Barry Allen's death play over and over on his flat screen television, his fingers intertwined and a maliciously cunning smile spread across his face. He picked up a peice of paper that laid before him, on it was a list of names.

He crossed off the name of Barry Allen and said softly, "who's next?"

The Green Lantern had been hiding away for years under Las Vegas in a Laboratory with Dr James King. He and King had been building the heroes saving weapon...The Portal. The idea was going back in time and stopping the terrorist attack that stopped the heroes from saving. "Hal, HAL! its done. Its finished, complete and usable." said King. "We should go back to last tuesday at 5.56am. Just to make sure it works" King set the time and waited. He pulled the switch..
Just as the portal opened, A black Ford came speeding through the portal and flew towards Hal who stops it in its tracks holding it up in the air.
"Whoever the hell you are get the f*ck out of the car!" after a few seconds a bright blinding green light comes out of the car blinding Hal making him drop the car . As soon as the black almost awe-inspiring car speeds and hits Hal...pushing him into the wall and crushing Hal Jordan........TO BE CONTINUED

Poseidon Stadium

At the time, Kaldur'ahm was engaged in a sporting match which had been a popular past-time among the Atlantean people. Though he hadn't been a full-time professional player on account of his surface lifestyle, his skills were generally respected by his peers so that when he came back he was allowed to play as a sort of guest-star teammate. The game itself was kind of like an amalgamation of soccer, basketball and rugby though played in a fishbowl of sorts. As a youth he could remember practicing endlessly with his friends, Garth and Tula.

Kaldur's presence did seem to bring a sort of lively draw in audience on that particularly evening based on his celebrity , though he was generally well-liked by most Atlantean's, he had his fair share of detractors who resented his relation to black manta, enemy of Atlantis. While he didn't necessarily agree with that particular line of thinking, he understood the source of their scrutiny, though he didn't seem to pay it all that much mind either. The game was all that occupied his thoughts at that moment. The score was 4-4 a piece. The next goal would determine the outcome of the game.

The team's captain Garth was widely considered the best player in Atlantis though there was a bit of a rift in their friendship after the events that took place between the three -- now duo. He had carried the team in Kaldur's absence and there was a sense of tension whenever the two played together. Most of the team allied with Garth as their leader because he was present more often than Kaldur, though some of team rallied behind Kaldur despite him being his unavailability, because he seemed the more level-headed of two, Kaldur himself had no problem playing lancer to Garth's position as team captain, though he noticed Garth had been making a lot of rash calls since the start of the game which cost the team some potential points, even if he were its star player.

On the last minute of gameplay with ball still in possession, Garth would call for a break.

Garth: We're going all or nothing on this play...I'm gonna do a switch and bait play, Lhusu and Kaldur will go deep, but I'm going to make a fake-pass, drive it up the middle for the winning goal. Now, everyone understand that?

Lhusu: You sure about this cap? Their center has been reading you all day, don't you think someone else should handle the ball.

Kaldur: Yeah. It does sound a bit shaky, especially without anyone to cover you, I won't deny what you've done for this team, but perhaps there's merit to what Lhusu is saying?

Garth: I don't need your cover Kaldur, I'll be fine. No, this will work. I'm sure of it

The team would line-up in formation for the play, Lhusu readied the ball in preperation for the snap, Garth then took off with the ball though before he could reach the opponents goal, the ball was picked out of his posession by the opposing defense who swam underneath Garth's blindspot, The center burst off towards the opposite end of the tank and at the last minute, hurled the ball into the goal making the game winning shot. Like that, their team lost the match.

The Continuation.
The room was wrecked by the madness that ensued after Hal Jordan and Dr King opened a portal to god knows where. Hal rose from the broken wall from behind him. "What...what?!" he turned and was kicked directly in the face then had his legs kicked from below him. "Who the f*ck are you! Bruce F'N Lee!" the man Axe handle kicked him in the chest forcing Hal to spit blood up. "KATO! stop." said a man dressed in a black trench coat with a green mask and fedora. "Who are you?" said Hal, "My name is The Green Hornet and this is my friend Kato" said the masked man calling himself The Green Hornet. "Who?" Hal began to get confused, Wondering why he had never heard of The Green Hornet or Kato. "Seriously! you don't know me? i've been working and saving lives for like 30 YEARS!" Said The Hornet. "Erm Actually its about 4 years" Followed Kato.

Dr King turned the news on and saw the main headline "The Flash Shot Dead". Green Lantern, The Hornet & Kato also saw this...."Were heading to Metropolis are you in Hornet and Katy" said Hal. "Er yeah and just saying its Kato. Hes my little man, my baby, My child" Kato punches Hornet in the chest.

Whats going to happen when The Green Lantern, The Green Hornet & Kato head to Metropolis

Arthur was observing the game from above he thought about how it was so similar to war and the production of famine and disease which worsen the impact of it , Aquaman was slouching on his throne, in disbelief that the monarchy was still alive after everything the unjustifiable suffering it had undergone because of its careless ruler which had failed to commit it needed time to recover. He didn't have the time nor the patience for the registration act ,he had to guard his city because at this time it was in a vulnerable state and God knows how many enemies made over the years. He thought to himself I cannot be revealed to the world for I am already known the King of Atlantis who shall not be undermined by a human society where I shall be out casted and diminished to my alter ego or perhaps tested on like a lab rat as humans cannot be saved truly , they condemn what they do not understand. Sometimes however they do have a sense of virtue and righteousness left from the decisions they have made I have met most of these people and we were once great but over time we have become a shadow of our former selves and... "My Liege" Aquaman gets interrupted in the middle of his inner monologue by one of his guards "My Liege" Aquaman responds " Yes yes what is it you want" "Its er ... the Flash sire ... he's err.." Arthur slowly turns his head to focus his attention "Speak" he says this firmly with sincerity. "He's been err... he's been gunned down by an assassin early today" a silence echoes across the room after a pause Aquaman then says "Leave me" guards then march out of the room Aquaman , after many months finally gets up off his throne, he walks towards the edge standing upright then mutters "How could this happen,after all these years the one thing that gets recognised as being good by the human's gets destroyed,(sigh) "Guards" the armoured soldiers rush into the room "Tell Kaldur about the death of the Flash ,I'm going to visit an old friend in Metropolis."

The Dark Knight arrived in Metropolis. He looked up and saw the poster of Superman with the caption "NO HEROES!". Batman quickly went to a rooftop and saw the police cutting each street off and then he began to hear noises. It was a tank followed by about 250 men in red callying AK-47 machine guns and marching like the Nazis back in WWII. "What? The Flash dies and this place becomes a warzone?" said The Caped Crusader. The PA speakers above the court house where Barry died turned on and spoke with the words "People please return to your homes. There are Heroes and Killers in the city. If you seen anybody wearing masks please be alarmed." Batman looked at the mayhem.....I need to find Clark!
