Chapter 1

Before this story begins, I just want to remark on how the final season of Superman and Lois has begun and it looks amazing. I think it's fitting that I begin the first crossover of this series, the first team up of the Justice League, after the premiere of season 4 of Superman and Lois. And now, time for the Justice League.

When Doctor Fate returned to the Tower of Fate, he held out his hands, which glowed gold and nine blurs of gold light appeared in the middle of the tower and when it faded, in the light's place stood Supergirl, Superdog, Flash, Green Arrow, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Martian Manhunter and Green Lantern. Or as Fate knew them to be, Earth's greatest and most powerful heroes.

"What's going on?" Superman was the one to ask.

"We've been abducted by a Lord of Order. Not sure if that's a good thing, since we should be in National City right now, considering Atlantis could launch an attack on it at any moment." Supergirl said.

"Wait, Atlantis is real?" Flash asked, since he was definitely the rookie of this group.

"Enough. I did not bring you all here to squabble. Not when the world needs you to work together. Now I believe some of you already know each other, but let's dispense with the pleasantries. If you're going to save the world, you must trust each other enough to reveal your true names. Especially since there's only one person in this Tower who does not know any of them." Doctor Fate said, referring to Flash.

"You brought us together to fight Atlantis didn't you?" Supergirl asked and Fate nodded.

"From the moment Atlantis headed towards your island, I began looking into all possible futures, attempting to find a way to prevent them from destroying the surface world. And the only path to victory came not from any one of you fighting them alone, or even in your individual teams, it was only through the actions of the 9 of you, including the dog, that this war is won without significant casualties." Fate said.

"And why should we believe anything this guy in a ridiculous helmet?" Green Arrow asked, only to be silenced by Batman.

"While I've never met Doctor Fate myself, I've seen enough in my life to know that if he's going to these lengths, we should listen to what he has to say." Batman said.

"I trust him." Supergirl said and Superman nodded to indicate the same.

"We'll follow your lead Supergirl." Martian Manhunter said, referring to himself and Green Lantern.

"I heard tales of the Lords of Order, one of the few entities the Olympians feared." Wonder Woman said.

"I'm just going to agree with all the crazy scary powerful people in the room." Flash said as Superdog barked.

"Maybe Doctor Fate can elaborate a bit on what he means?" Supergirl said and Doctor Fate nodded.

"Atlantis is one of the most technologically advanced nations on the planet. A hidden kingdom that sank beneath waves back during the First Dynasty. For centuries they've lived in the shroud of myth, staying hidden." Doctor Fate said.

"Well they don't seem to be very interested in hiding anymore since they just tried to sink my Island. It'll be weeks before the repairs are complete." Supergirl said, annoyed about that.

"And the reason for that is because of its new ruler, King Orm Marius. Son of King Orvax and Queen Atlanna, an heir to the throne through his mother's bloodline, but Orm was raised by his father with anti-surface beliefs." Doctor Fate said.

"Let me guess, he believes that Atlantis is superior to the surface that the surface should bow before him?" Superman asked.

"Pretty much." Doctor Fate agreed.

"Great, another version of Zod on this planet." Superman said, referring to one of his greatest enemies.

"At least this guy doesn't have your powers." Batman pointed out.

"No, access to a huge army and more advanced technology than anything we've ever seen before. He's like an ocean nazi isn't he?" Supergirl asked.

"Indeed he is. But that is why I assembled all of you, just like how the JSA was assembled to fight the actual Nazis." Doctor Fate said.

"How are a bunch of strangers supposed to save the world? I only know four people here, not counting the dog." Green Lantern said.

"True, it will be difficult, I have viewed every possible scenario and it is only by working together that any of you stand a chance at stopping Ocean Master from sinking our world to his rule. I normally do not interfere in non mystic affairs, but this is one case where I make an exception. You may use the Tower of Fate as your headquarters, but I suggest that you have no secrets between each other before you begin the fight." Doctor Fate said as he vanished.

"Are we really listening to this guy?" Green Arrow asked.

"I've seen the Atlanteans first hand, they're tough and with an entire army of them, I don't think even Superman could fight them off alone. Some battles, some wars, are too big to be fought by one hero alone. But together, we can send Atlantis back into the sea. I'm up for this team thing if the rest of you are." Supergirl said.

"I'm in." Superman said.

"So am I." Wonder Woman said.

"Me too." Green Lantern said.

"And I as well." Martian Manhunter said.

"Count me in." Flash said.

"It makes sense." Batman admitted as all eyes turned to the one single hold out, Green Arrow.

"Fine, but how do we do this?" Green Arrow asked.

"By establishing trust. I'll start, my real name is Kara Danvers." Supergirl said, since a majority of the room already knew who she was and she suspected that Green Arrow and Batman at least suspected.

"Wait, the CEO of Argo Enterprises is Supergirl?" Flash asked in shock as Batman actually chuckled.

"She's not the only billionaire CEO here." Batman said as he removed his mask to reveal the face of Bruce Wayne.

"Bruce Wayne is Batman." Green Lantern said as her mask faded.

"My name is Alex Danvers, but you can call me Alex." Alex said.

"My name is J'onn J'onzz." J'onn said as he morphed so that while he was still wearing his suit, he was now using his human face before returning to his martian form.

"My name is Barry Allen." Flash said as he removed his cowl.

"I am Diana of Themyscira, but in this world, I go by Diana Prince." Wonder Woman said as Superdog barked.

"And since he can't talk, I'll just say that Superdog is my pet dog Krypto. Don't judge me for that name." Kara said as Superman chuckled at that.

"My name is Clark Kent. Now I believe there's still one of us who has to come clean." Superman said as they all turned to Green Arrow, who reluctantly lowered his hood and removed his mask.

"Oliver Queen. Now let's get this over with." Green Arrow said, since he wasn't sure how he felt about all these people knowing his secret when he only knew Bruce.
