The light pollution of Jump City prevented distant stars from being seen, only allowing the moon's reflected sunlight pass the atmosphere. Though for those still awake new lights could be seen. It seemed to be a furious battle high above in the skies, above the clouds, it's possible it could have been held in space. Many colors of almost unnoticeable lights flashed high above, first multiple splashes of green, along with faint streams of red occasionally, and finally a unmistakably clear yellow blur in the sky. Almost as if a satellite exploded, but multiple NASA and governments reported no loss of satellites. Those lucky enough to have a telescope or high powered binoculars on hand could swear that they had seen shapes, although most were simple in design, they never backed down from their statements. Ultimately this was dismissed by most as, drunkards, or another UFO hoax attempting to cash in on Superman's supposed origin. After all, surely the Justice League would handle it if it was important, right?
Days later multiple pieces of metal crashed into the Earth near a Kansas farm, badly burned and jagged, as if they were ripped from something. Publicly they were revealed to be the remains of burned up asteroids, perhaps even remains from Superman's dead home planet. On that same day LexCorp launched another satellite into space, claiming that it was to jump start their new high speed internet. As if triggered by the launch crime rates in multiple cities rose, Gotham, Metropolis, Keystone, Central, and finally Star city. Though the rates were slow, seemingly under control by local authorities and vigilantes, it was unmistakable that the criminal underground was somehow given a boost in it's confidence.
March 5, 2020:
The skies above Jump city were cloudy, and grey, signifying an incoming rainstorm. Regardless of the weather, many people were present on the streets, either on the sidewalk or in their cars. The sounds of honking could be heard on various street corners, even sidewalks held everyday men and women conversing on phones or participating in their everyday activities. As the day passed the sky continued to cloud up, until the sun could no longer be seen. Soon enough the skies began to sprinkle a light blanket of rain over the city. Dozens of umbrellas and people rushing down sidewalks could be seen.
During mid-day the clouds seemed to part in an almost perfect circle above the nearby ocean. However, instead of revealing the sun they had wished for, they instead viewed a massive alien vehicle. It descended slowly above the ocean, onlookers desperately looked to the skies for their saviors, or perhaps someone to explain. Instead multiple tiny objects could be seen escaping from the ship, as they drew closer to the city their form became more clearer, and their goals even more so. The figures were clearly some form of attack craft, they began to shoot bright beams from their underside as they hovered above civilians, seemingly drawing them inside. Some of the craft even opened up to unload gruesome creatures, they were humanoid, that much is for sure. But they were clearly aliens, their armor and weapons allowed them to completely deflect the local police's bullets, and return in kind with their own. As the alien weapons fired, a blue pulse sparked in front, and the bullets themselves seemed to glow a darkened blue.
