(A/N): I'm alive!

I'm so sorry for not getting this chapter uploaded sooner. I honestly had a bit of writers block regarding this book. I live in Canada and don't have a way to watch season 4, so I wanted to add one more arc before we get into season 4 just incase they finally release it in Canada.

That being said I'm going to take a short break from this book and work on one or two chapters from my Legend of Korra story. I think bouncing between books is the way to go so I don't get burned out by constantly working on one project.

Let me know what you guys think, I'm always interested in your feedback and thanks for your continued support!

3rd Person POV:

"AH! What are you-AHH! What are you doing?!"

(Y/n) groaned in pain and twitched on his bed as Zatanna straddled his waist, keeping her hands on his shoulder blades and pinning him face down in their bed.

Zatanna: "Trying to release all the tension in your shoulders. Now stay still and relax!"

(Y/n): "This is some massage! This has to be the most painful thing you've put me through."

The magician rolled her eyes and pressed a little harder on her husband's back. (Y/n) immediately twitched under the pressure and groaned as Zatanna continued to "massage" his back.

Zatanna: "Trust me, it'll feel better in the morning."

(Y/n): "Well I can't possibly feel worse!"

Zatanna: "You've been shot, stabbed and electrocuted multiple times, and you're going to tell me this hurts more than all of that? I think you're just being a big baby."

The agent twitched again and was about to respond with a sarcastic comment when Zatanna grabbed the back of his head and shoved his face into the pillow.

As the agent groaned into the pillow, the magician simply smiled and proceeded to run her hands all along his back muscles, biting her lower lip as a small blush made its way to her face.

Down in the garage, Titan was trotting to the zeta tube after it activated. Dick and Artemis emerged from the teleporter and immediately greeted the German Shepherd with a smile.

The detective and archer made their way through the house, searching for the newlyweds. They suddenly froze when they heard (Y/n) yell out in pain.

(Y/n): "AHHH! OH COME ON?!"

They rushed up the stairs, charging down the hall and bursting into the master bedroom.

They were shocked to see (Y/n), face down on the bed with Zatanna straddling his back. The magician wore a workout bra and leggings while (Y/n) had no shirt on and a pair of shorts.

Zatanna: "Stop being a baby, this is good for you."

Artemis: "What the fuck are you two doing?"

Dick: "I'm not sure I want to know..."

Zatanna: "Oh! Hey guys, what's up?"

The magician continued her massage and (Y/n) did his best to not squirm as she worked on his neck.

Dick: "Nothing much... we just wanted to check in and see how married life is treating you two."

(Y/n): "Well, it's only been a week since the wedding, but I think it's safe to say that everything is great."

The agent forced a smile to his face as he felt Zatanna's hands dig into his back once again.

Artemis: "So... massages?"

Zatanna: "Yep, they only hurt if you have a bunch of tension in your muscles and it'll feel a lot better the next day."

Dick: "I'll just take your word for it."

(Y/n): "Wish I had that option, ah!"

Artemis laughed and Zatanna rolled her eyes, pushing a little harder just to torment her husband.

Artemis: "Well, I think your wife just wants an excuse to touch you."

Zatanna giggled and climbed off (Y/n)'s back, letting the agent relax. She jumped off the bed as (Y/n) let out a massive sigh of relief and sat up.

(Y/n): "Trust me, she could find an easier excuse."

The magician rolled her eyes and playfully slapped the back of (Y/n)'s head as the agent climbed out of bed and put on a t-shirt.

Dick: "You two don't have to come back to work, you can take some more time off. You've more than earned it."

Zatanna: "Thanks, but we aren't sure where we want to go on the honeymoon, so we'll come back to work for a few weeks until we've made up our minds."

Artemis: "Well, as long as you're sure. It's time for my first official briefing as team leader."

(Y/n): "Try not to sound so excited."

The archer rolled her eyes and smiled as Zatanna casted a quick spell that changed the lovers into their mission gear.

——————————————————————

*Cadmus Facility, 12 miles outside Metropolis*

Amanda Waller walked down the large halls of the Cadmus facility. A team of scientists rushed to meet her as she stormed down the brightly lit hallway.

Waller: "Where is he?"

Head scientist: "In the lab with the subject."

Waller: "What's the status of the subject's revival? He would be a great asset to Task Force X."

Head Scientist: "We were unable to revive Crimson. However, General Eiling moved ahead with his kryptonian DNA experiment."

Waller: "What?! Who gave him permission to do that?!"

Head Scientist: "H-he said the board of directors was on board and that you'd be pleased with the results."

Waller: "Call security and shut down that lab now!"

The scientists scrambled away from Waller as she rushed to the lab as fast as she could.

The automatic doors slid open and Waller stormed into the laboratory. She immediately looked down from the catwalk and saw the large capsule containing Crimson's dead body on the main floor below.

Waller: "General! What do you think you're doing?!"

Eling: "My job, Waller. I'm keeping this country safe."

Waller: "You know damn well the simulations say this process won't work! You're creating a mindless Kryptonian!"

Eling: "The tweaks I had the techs make to the formula will work. Plus the control chip I had implanted in his brain will be more than enough to control him."

Before Waller had a chance to respond, the large capsule in the center of the room began to shake violently. A deafening roar erupted from inside the capsule as the dead Hunter's body began to morph into something much worse.

Waller: "Shut it down!"

Eling: "I couldn't stop it even if I wanted to. The controls shorted out, we have to let the process finish."

Alarms blared as the capsule violently shook. Sparks flew in all directions as the lights and computer screens began to flicker. Suddenly the capsule burst open, the doors flying across the lab and slamming into the wall.

Vials of drugs shattered, spilling their contents across the lab and mixing with the sparks to create a small fire.

Waller and Eling froze as a large creature climbed out of the capsule, its eyes glowing red and body burning from the fire.

——————————————————————

*The Watchtower

Zatanna and (Y/n) stepped into the Watchtower just after Nightwing and Tigress arrived.

The few Leaguers on monitor duty congratulated the newlyweds before showing the group to the conference room.

The group casually entered, and took their seats. The room was almost full, every hero from the League was present, either through holographic communication or in person.

Black Lightning: "Alright, now that everyone's here we can get started. First, I'd like to congratulate Tigress on her promotion to leader of the Team and then get right into our intelligence briefing."

The room fell silent as Tigress and (Y/n) stood up. The pair moved to the front of the room and stood on either side of the holographic projector.

Tigress: "Thanks again for everyone putting your trust in me. The Team won't let you down, I'm sure of it."

(Y/n): "And now to get down to business. Drug traffic has picked up in the continental United States. Criminal organizations across the country have paired with the South American based Santa Blanca cartel to ship and distribute their products."

A map of the western hemisphere appeared on the holographic projection, with the major smuggling routes highlighted.

(Y/n): "The profits obtained by both Santa Blanca and their partners have been largely invested in meta-human trafficking. With Gotham City seeing a devastating increase in Santa Blanca ties, it has fallen to us to deal with this crisis. We will split into teams and hammer all ends of this criminal alliance before it gets out of hand."

Tigress: "As we speak, the Team is gearing up to survey the main shipping hubs in the United States. We're going to cut this alliance in half and destroy both sides before either has a chance to react."

The room fell silent once again as the heroes studied the information on display before them.

Wonder Woman: "What information do we have on this drug cartel?"

(Y/n): "Honestly not much, I can't even tell you the names of their leadership. However I have a CIA contact that I'm going to meet with. She's an expert on the cartel and has been mapping their movements for months in preparation for our attacks."

Tigress: "On the other end of this alliance, we know that both Two Face and Penguin have made deals with the cartel. We can hit their end of the network and hopefully find a connection to other organized crime groups."

Before anyone had a chance to comment, every alarm system on the Watchtower went off. The heroes jumped up and turned their attention to the large monitor at the front of the room, studying the news broadcast that appeared on screen.

———————————————————————

*Smallville*

The massive creature smashed its way down the highway, crushing any car or truck unlucky enough to cross its path.

Local law enforcement was helpless against the massive creature, bullets bounced off its dark gray skin without phasing the monster.

Frantic calls for help clogged the phone lines, overwhelming the local emergency dispatchers who had no idea how to help.

As the creature was just leaving Smallville, Lois Lane was boarding a helicopter at the Daily Planet. The new organization had quickly gotten word of the monster smashing its way to Metropolis and the lead reporter rushed to be the first on scene.

After a short flight Lois and the news helicopter were over the suburban neighborhoods just outside Metropolis.

She looked out the window and adjusted the microphone on her headset. Despite everything Lois has covered in her career as a reporter, she was immediately gripped with fear at the sight of the creature smashing up the road and tossing cars in every direction with no effort.

Lois: "Oh my god."

———————————————————————

The League rushed to Metropolis, but they weren't the first ones on scene. The Outsiders arrived shortly after Lois.

Beast Boy: "Wonder Girl, Blue Beetle, Sergeant Marvel, keep that thing distracted! The rest of you keep your distance and help where you can!"

The Outsiders jumped into action. Taking turns attacking the massive creature whose own attacks were slow and predictable, at least at first.

The heroes were able to dodge the monster's attacks and continuously counter attack, but nothing seemed to work. All they were doing was buying time for the remaining civilians to escape.

Wonder Girl: "This guy won't stay down!"

Wonder Girl dug in, launching herself towards the monster with an impressive speed. She slammed her fist into the creature's face, sending him staggering back a few feet but nothing more.

In complete shock that her most powerful attack did next to nothing, Wonder Girl hesitated for a brief second and that was more than enough time for the creature to counter attack.

The giant beast had lured the heroes in with a false sense of security, letting them drop their guard and get too close. In the blink of an eye it reached out and grabbed Wonder Girl's neck, lifting her up and slamming her down into the street over and over again.

Blue Beetle rushed forward to help, firing lasers at the creature to no effect. Without any hesitation the creature swung Wonder Girl at the former Reach warrior like a baseball bat.

The two heroes went flying through the air and crashed into a nearby gas station, causing a massive explosion that knocked everyone but the monster down.

Sergeant Marvel was the first to get up, squaring off with the monster and trying to buy her friends some time to escape.

Sergeant Marvel: "Kid Flash, get everyone out of here! NOW!"

Kid Flash: "Y-yeah... on it!"

Sergeant Marvel: "POWER OF ZEUS!"

The creature rushed towards Mary as electricity crackled from her fists. The beast roared and Mary charged to meet him, launching her attack the second the creature was about to swing its massive arms down at her.

——————————————————————

*Downtown Metropolis*

The majority of the Justice League rushed off to help the Outsiders immediately upon arrival in the large city.

Despite the battle taking place several miles away, the remaining heroes running the evacuation efforts could hear every explosion as their friends tried desperately to slow down the monster.

Nightwing, Tigress and (Y/n) were at the largest hospital in the city, helping evacuate the staff and patients when the Outsiders arrived.

Nightwing: "Lois gave this guy a name... she's calling it Doomsday."

(Y/n): "You can tell Lois that she's not helping our morale, and stop wasting time watching a news broadcast."

Tigress rushed into the room a moment later with a worried look on her face and cellphone in her hand.

Tigress: "Are you watching this broadcast? Our heavy hitters can't seem to touch this guy. He just threw Captain Atom across town and shrugged off several hits from Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman!"

The agent chose not to respond, instead he kept his focus glued to his work. The three were suddenly distracted by the sudden appearance of Superboy as he rushed into the room.

Superboy: "(Y/n), you need to get downstairs now. The Outsiders just got brought in, some of them don't look good."

The group rushed down to the ER room without saying another word. Mary was still on a stretcher in the crowded room as Doctors and nurses scrambled to deal with the massive crowd of people.

(Y/n): "Mary!"

Zatanna was at Mary's side, trying to comfort the injured outsider. Mary was attempting to sit up, despite the injuries to her chest and stomach.

The outsider was barely conscious when her other mentor arrived at her side. Her body was badly bruised all over and almost every bone in her right arm was broken.

Mary: "W-we tried... we tried to stop him."

Zatanna: "It's okay, we know you did everything you could. Try and relax, it's going to be okay."

(Y/n) held Mary still as Zatanna began her spell. The young Outsider twitched and fought off the urge to scream in pain. Despite Zatanna's spell dulling the pain, Mary was still in extreme agony.

Once the magician finished her spell, Mary's arm was looking better and somewhat resembled a normal arm. The cuts were closed and the swelling had vanished.

Before the married couple had a chance to say anything to their protégé, Mary passed out and was taken away by a team of nurses.

A tv in the corner of the ER caught the couple's eyes. They watched as Lois's helicopter broadcasted the brutal slaughter of the League. Doomsday tore through everyone in his path, making short work of everyone who wasn't considered a heavy hitter.

The agent was suddenly pulled away from the broadcast when he felt Zatanna take his hand and grip it tight. He turned to face his wife who still had her gaze glued to the television.

(Y/n): "Hey, it's going to be okay. But we need to get out there, people need our help."

She couldn't bring herself to look away. The only response she could muster was to shake her head.

(Y/n): "Zee, it's our job... We have to go-"

Zatanna: "No. No, it's my job. That thing... Doomsday... he'll kill you."

(Y/n): "You are not going out there without me."

Zatanna: "We don't have time to argue, if Captain Atom got thrown around and Wonder Woman can't touch him, what good is your rifle going to be?"

Every fiber of (Y/n)'s being was screaming at him to push back, to go into battle with her and not sit this one out. But deep down he knew he'd be nothing more than a distraction that Zatanna would have to worry about.

(Y/n): "Just promise me you'll be safe."

Zatanna: "Ll'I eb efas. Dna ll'I emoc kcab ot uoy."

(Y/n) pulled Zatanna in the second she finished her sentence, smashing his lips against hers and hugging her as tight as he could.

The magician brought her hands to her husband's face and gently cupped his cheeks.

Once they finally broke the kiss, Zatanna rushed out of the hospital to join up with the next wave of heroes rushing to the fight.

(Y/n) was left in the hospital with Nightwing and Tigress by his side. As he watched Zatanna cast a spell and fly away, he found himself regretting the decision to stay behind and wishing he had a few more seconds with his wife.

(Y/n): "I love you, Zee. Stay safe."

——————————————————————

Zatanna flew through the air, using her magic to fly herself, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Batman to the fight.

Green Arrow: "Please tell me we have a plan."

The group was silent as Batman continued to stare at the news broadcast of the battle.

Green Arrow: "That was kind of your que to tell us the plan."

After a few agonizing seconds of silence, Zatanna spoke up, taking charge as they neared the battle.

Zatanna: "We need to isolate him, keep him away from people and find some sort of weakness to exploit."

Batman: "He seems to be drawn to population centers. It has to be more intelligent than we originally thought. We'll need Miss Martian to tell what it's thinking."

Luckily for the group, Zatanna was paying attention and able to quickly dodge several cars and chunks of buildings that were thrown their way.

The magician safely landed the group on a nearby rooftop as the flying debris slammed into a nearby building with a massive explosive.

Black Canary: "LOOK OUT!"

Doomsday appeared out of thin air, jumping up to the roof of the small skyscraper with a single leap and landing with a surprisingly soft touch.

Zatanna: "Part eht retsnom!"

Just as Zatanna's spell began to take effect, Doomsday roared, his anger building the second he laid eyes on her.

"WHERE IS HE?"

The heroes froze, in complete shock that Doomsday could speak. Slightly more shocking was the fact that he recognized Zatanna and grew enraged at her presence.

The magician's spell formed just in time, trapping Doomsday in a small magic sphere before he could reach her.

Green Arrow: "That thing can talk?!"

Black Canary: "Zatanna, why does that thing recognize you and who is it after?"

Zatanna: "How should I know?!"

The group fell silent as Doomsday smashed his fists into the magical bubble trapping him over and over again. The sound of his punches sending small shockwaves in all directions.

Batman: "Where is Vanguard?"

——————————————————————

(Y/n) was currently across town, making his way through the sewer system to a remote SHD stash.

He had managed to slip away from Tigress and Nightwing as they coordinated the city's evacuation with the Team.

ANNA: "Unauthorized access detected. Local ISAC subsystems are online."

(Y/n) immediately drew his handgun and shoved open the door to the small maintenance room hiding the vault door.

The maintenance room was completely empty and the large vault door to the SHD stash was wide open. The agent carefully approached, listening for any sign of hostiles.

Without warning he spun and fired into the darkness, the muzzle flash lit up the dark corner of the armory and impacted his attacker square in the chest.

Despite taking a bullet to the chest the shadowy figure continued charging forward and lunged at (Y/n). The agent had enough time to grab his combat axe and slash up at the man, cutting off his plate carrier and sending him crashing to the ground.

(Y/n): "If you value your life, you'll stay still and tell me who the fuck you are."

Waller: "My right hand man and your new boss."

The agent kept his weapon aimed at the masked gunman on the ground and moved towards the exit, putting both Waller and her bodyguard in front of him.

(Y/n): "I would ask what you're doing here, but I have a sick feeling it's connected to the monster tearing apart the city."

Waller: "That's none of your concern. What you need to know is that your wife is currently fighting for her life against that creature and that she's going to need our help if you want her to survive."

Dust fell from the ceiling as the armory shook. The sound of the battle in the streets above was slowly growing closer. Despite the battle above, (Y/n) kept his focus on Waller and her bodyguard.

(Y/n): "What do you want, Waller? I'm too busy to play your game."

Waller: "I know how to kill that thing, and if you want me to tell you how, you're going to take this and join my Task Force X."

Waller pulled a small needle out of her jacket pocket. The agent focused on the clear liquid in the tube and tightened his grip on his weapon.

Waller: "The man beside me is Colonel Rick Flag, the commander of my Task Force. You're going to let us inject this nanotech explosive into your neck and it will stay active for the rest of your life, ensuring you follow my orders to the letter. In exchange I'll give you that creature's weakness so you can save your wife and friends."

Another explosion caused the armory to shake again and the computer screens to flicker.

Waller: "Time to be a hero, agent. Face it, I beat you."

The room fell silent, with the exception of the odd hum coming from the various computers scattered throughout the small bunker. The agent weighed his options before flashing a confident smile at Waller.

(Y/n): "You know, there was a time when I'd do anything to ensure my friends and family stay out of danger, but I've changed. I know they are the most capable people in the world and I'm willing to trust them the way they trust me. So, Waller, fuck you. ANNA, download everything from Cadmus and find out how the hell they created that monster."

ANNA: "Confirmed, download commencing, stand by."

The agent smiled as Waller grit her teeth. She quickly handed Coronel Flag the needle and narrowed her gaze at the agent's watch.

Waller: "Flag, enlist the agent."

Flag: "With pleasure."

(Y/n): "Bring it asshole."

———————————————————————

Sweat streamed down Zatanna's face as she put all of her energy into maintaining the magical bubble holding Doomsday.

Superboy and M'gann arrived along with Kaldur and Wonder Woman. The Amazon warrior was out of breath and had numerous cuts across her body. Her armor was tattered and sword shattered. Her shield was missing a large chunk, her wrists and knuckles bleeding but she was still determined to fight.

Wonder Woman: "We must buy time for the others to recover."

Miss Martian: "Any idea when Superman and the Flash will get here?"

Kaldur: "The forest fire is almost contained, they will be on their way soon."

Superboy: "Soon might not be good enough. Nothing seems to phase this guy."

The massive creature continued to smash against Zatanna's shield, causing the magician's spell to weaken with each hit.

Zatanna: "I can't hold him any longer! Get ready!"

The heroes braced for another round of draining combat as Zatanna's spell shattered with one massive punch.

Doomsday roared in anger and lunged forward, aiming for Zatanna as she caught her breath.

"WHERE IS HE!"

Superboy was faster, he tackled Doomsday off the roof and punched him repeatedly as they plummeted to the street below.

The second they impacted the street, a massive shockwave went out in all directions, shattering windows and knocking over any car in its way.

Before anyone could rush to Superboy's aid, the half kryptonian was violently thrown into a nearby apartment building.

Large sections of the building crumbled away and dust immediately rose up. Doomsday roared and smashed his fists into the ground, creating a massive crater that sent a large cloud of dust in all directions.

Miss Martian called out for Superboy and tried to rush to his side, but unfortunately for her, Doomsday was faster. The beast cut her off and jumped into the rubble Superboy was buried under.

Miss Martian: "Get away from him!"

The shockwave prevented her from rushing to her fiancés side, forcing her to watch as the giant beast slammed his fists through the rubble over and over again.

By the time Miss Martian regained her focus, Doomsday had ripped a disoriented Superboy out of the rubble and thrown him across the street into another building.

Zatanna: "Gninthgil fo eht sdog!"

Lightning crackled through the air and slammed into Doomsday, blinding everyone but Zatanna.

As the beast stumbled back, the magician landed in the cracked street and put all her energy into maintaining the attack. Sweat rolled down her forehead as her eyes glowed bright white.

Superboy managed to pick himself out of the rubble and make it to Miss Martian's side as Superman arrived in the blink of an eye.

Superman: "Flash is evacuating the rest of the civilians as we speak. Almost all of downtown is clear."

Miss Martian: "If we can't find a way to stop him, there won't be a downtown left to worry about."

Superman: "Then let's end this here and now."

Zatanna's lightning was brutally scaring Doomsday. The electricity burned his chest and turned his already dark gray skin on his chest black.

Eventually Doomsday brought his hands up to block the lightning, pushing forward towards Zatanna as she poured everything she had into her attack.

The Man of Steel immediately joined in the attack, shooting a steady beam of his heat vision directly at Doomsdays head.

The creature roared in pain before swiftly grabbing a large rock and hurling it at Zatanna. She was only saved by Superboy jumping in front of her and punching the rock, shattering it into hundreds of smaller pieces as it flew by.

Despite Superboy saving Zatanna from a horrible death, several small shards of rock managed to cut her arms and legs. The small grazing wounds caused immense pain and ended the magician's attack on Doomsday.

The second her attack faded away, Zatanna was left stumbling back to safety as Superman traded blows with Doomsday. The Kryptonian and monster were evenly matched and they destroyed everything unlucky enough to get caught in their fight.

——————————————————————-

The fight was over in half a second. Rick Flag was on the ground, blood gushing from his mouth and a broken arm.

(Y/n) was completely unharmed, standing menacingly in the doorway with a handgun pointed at Waller in one hand and his Hunter's combat axe in the other.

Waller: "This isn't over."

(Y/n): "ANNA, do we have everything we need?"

ANNA: "Affirmative, transferring all useful intel to the Justice League."

(Y/n): "You made that thing, after we stop it, I'm going to hold you accountable for every life that thing took."

Waller: "And what about all the lives you took while fighting him?"

The agent held his tongue, waiting for Waller to reveal exactly what she was talking about before he made his next move.

Waller: "There's a reason it went to the closest city and started attacking everything in sight, it wanted to draw the League to it. But I didn't expect you to know that. That thing is the Hunter, the one you left for dead in the White House. Despite being on the verge of death and injected with modified Kryptonian blood, his hatred of you stayed strong."

A sadistic smile formed on Waller's face as the agent weighed his options.

(Y/n): "Get the fuck out of my armory."

——————————————————————

Kelso's boots echoed throughout the empty prison hall. The walls of the ice box were almost as cold as the mountains of snow and ice outside.

Her march eventually led her to the secluded cell of Natalya Sokolova, the former Black Tusk leader.

The Russian-American redhead had been stuffed in the isolated cell after her capture during the Black Tusk coup d'etat. During her captivity she refused to give up the simplest details regarding the Black Tusk or even speak to anyone.

Once Kelso arrived at Natalya's cell, she took in a deep breath and looked up into the camera positioned above the cell door.

Kelso: "Open cell 117."

The metal lock released and the door slowly slid open as the alarm buzzed. Kelso narrowed her gaze, expecting to find Natalya waiting for her with a smug smile.

Instead she was shocked to find an empty cell with a letter and a rose laying on the floor.

All the lights suddenly shut off with a deafening bang and the intercom activated.

"Good evening Ms Kelso, I must admit we thought you'd be smart enough to fall in line. But deep down I think Ms Waller knew you'd be a problem. You're a soldier, you'd never leave something as dangerous as ISAC in the hands of a politician. But politicians come and go. Change happens rapidly and we no longer have any use for Division Agents, active or inactive."

During the little speech over the intercom, Kelso had grabbed the letter from the empty cell before retreating into the hallway as the power cut out. She tapped her ISAC watch, activating ANNA and preparing for a fight.

She was forced to leave her weapons at the main gate when she checked into the prison, however she was able to slip a knife past the guards but it almost certainly wouldn't be enough to get her out of her current situation.

Kelso made a break for the closest exit, not wanting to wait for whoever was ambushing her to get into position. The prisoners roared in applause as dozens of guards in riot gear emerged at the far end of the hallway and began chasing the agent.

Kelso: "ANNA, lock this door behind me and turn the fucking lights back on!"

ANNA: "Confirmed. Be advised a red notice has been issued for Alani Kelso and (Y/n) (L/n) on charges of treason against the United States."

Kelso: "You've got to be fucking kidding me."

——————————————————————

It only took five minutes for Superman and Doomsday to completely destroy downtown Metropolis.

Superboy was the only one who could keep up with the pair. He worked with Superman, using their attacks in perfect sync to keep Doomsday off balance.

Despite their impressive coordination and powerful attacks, they barely managed to slow Doomsday down long enough for the rest of the League to limp to safety.

Miles away on the outskirts of Metropolis, the League regrouped after ensuring the last groups of civilians made it out of the city.

The crowded makeshift camps were overflowing with terrified people. Most people that witnessed a small glimpse of the battle were utterly terrified. Those that had no idea why the city was evacuated quickly figured it out.

Tigress and Zatanna were dressing wounds on several children that got separated from their parents in the chaos. The pair kept as busy as they could to keep their mind off the battle, but Zatanna was suddenly hit with a terrifying realization out of the blue.

Zatanna: "Have you heard from (Y/n)?!"

Tigress froze, realizing that she hasn't seen the agent since he fled the hospital several hours ago.

Tigress: "No... I don't know where he is."

The magician cursed, an action that fought Tigress somewhat off guard.

Zatanna: "He's probably on his way to the fight... that idiot. He's completely outclassed."

Tigress: "He wouldn't be going if he didn't have a plan."

Zatanna stopped rummaging through the medical supplies and turned to look at Tigress. The magician had an annoyed expression plastered across her face and glared at the archer until she corrected her statement.

Tigress: "Okay, he may not have a plan... but I'm willing to bet he does."

The magician rolled her eyes and returned to her work after letting out a stress filled sigh.

Zatanna: "Let me ask you this, do you think it's a good plan?"

Tigress: "No."

———————————————————————

(Y/n) pushed his way through the panicked crowds of people that clogged the subways. The trains had been smashed to bits when a large section of road caved in but people still used the tunnels to escape the fighting in the streets above.

The agent was attempting to go the opposite way and was getting increasingly frustrated with the crowds of people constantly running into him.

He eventually arrived at what was left of the downtown boarding platform and climbed up off the tracks. His presence was immediately noticed by Batman and Nightwing who were helping the last stragglers escape.

Nightwing: "Vanguard? What are you doing here?"

(Y/n): "That's not important. I need the kryptonite you have."

The two heroes looked at the agent, the Dark Knight held an unreadable expression on his face while the former Robin allowed a confused look to surface.

(Y/n): "Amanda Waller just tried to forcibly recruit me into her Task Force X, when I refused her second in command attacked me. During the fight I had ANNA hack Cadmus files. Waller created that thing using Crimson's dying body and a cocktail of Kryptonian blood."

Nightwing was stunned but Batman immediately went to work, pulling out several small shards of Kryptonite and handing one to Nightwing and (Y/n).

(Y/n): "I was really hoping you would've spent the time to forge these into small knives or something a little more useful."

Batman: "That would be ideal, but kryptonite is incredibly difficult to work with. It often shatters due to imperfections in the stone and given its rarity I wasn't willing to risk destroying what little I have to make a weapon."

(Y/n): "Great, so we'll just use these small stones and hope something happens."

Batman: "Superman and Superboy suffer immensely at the slightest contact with kryptonite, it stands to reason that Doomsday will suffer the same effects. We just need to get close enough for the kryptonite to affect him."

Nightwing: "Get close to the giant monster and hope our little kryptonite rocks and drain his powers..."

(Y/n): "What could possibly go wrong?"

——————————————————————

Another shock wave was sent out in all directions as Superman slammed his fist into Doomsday's head. The massive creature was unphased and continued to scream out after a short moment of recovery.

"WHERE IS HE?!"

A golden glow suddenly washed over the battle as Dr. Fate appeared beside Superman and Superboy. The Lord of Order lunged forward, shooting his magic at the monster without uttering a word to his fellow heroes.

With the Lord of Order at their side, Superman and Superboy were able to tip the scales slightly in their favor. They knocked Doomsday back and forth, taking turns hammering the monster with everything they could.

Despite their powerful attacks, they weren't able to keep Doomsday down for any significant length of time.

As Doomsday was pulling himself out of a massive crater, Superman and Dr. Fate landed on the edge and attacked. The Lord of Order shot a powerful beam on golden magic while Superman used his heat vision.

Doomsday crumbled under the attack, falling to his knees and bringing up one arm to defend himself. The Lord of Order pressed his attack, slowly making his way down the walls of the crater as he increased the power of his attack.

Without warning Doomsday lunged towards the Lord of Order and grabbed his helmet. Before anyone could react, he slammed Dr. Fate into the ground and proceeded to punch the helpless god multiple times.

Superman rushed to help, grabbing Doomsday as the creature's fist slammed into Dr. Fate once again. A shockwave of golden magic sent Doomsday and Superman crashing back and temporarily blinded the heroes.

(Y/n), Batman and Nightwing arrived just in time to see the golden light fade away and Dr. Fate struggling to stand. The agent immediately rushed to Fate's side and pulled him upright.

Fate groaned in pain as he brought his hands up to his helmet. (Y/n)'s heart skipped a beat when he noticed a large crack down the front of Fate's helmet. Zatara's green eyes looked tired and hurt, like his body was on the verge of giving out.

(Y/n): "Doc, you okay? You don't look very good."

Dr. Fate: "We... we are fine."

The agent immediately noticed how the Lord of Order was struggling to stand, Doomsday screamed out in rage. The monster threw Superman into Superboy and lunged towards the agent and god standing a short distance away.

"VANGUARD! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Fate shoved (Y/n) out of the way just in time. The agent fell onto his back as Doomsday tackled the Lord of Order into a nearby building.

Superboy rushed in to help Dr. Fate, throwing several punches in an attempt to draw the monsters attention away from the injured god.

By the time (Y/n) was able to push himself to his feet, Batman and Nightwing were already rushing inside, each clutching a shard of Kryptonite in their hand.

Once the agent made it into the lobby of the building, he found Doomsday and Superboy in the midst of a close quarters fight.

The half kryptonian was dodging every strike Doomsday could throw and had the massive creature turning in circles.

(Y/n) took the opportunity and rushed forward while Doomsday had his back to him. The agent knew he needed to be careful as the kryptonite in his hands would affect Superboy if he got too close.

With one desperate lunge the agent jumped onto Doomsday's back and stabbed the shard of Kryptonite into the monster's eyes with a swift strike.

Doomsday roared and violently thrashed about as (Y/n) held on for dear life. Eventually he let go, sliding off Doomsday and jumping away as the creature desperately tried to grab at him.

Nightwing and Batman tossed their kryptonite shards towards Doomsday, not wanting to risk getting caught by the monster's arms in its current panicked state.

The added kryptonite immediately had an effect, slowing Doomsday's movement even more and forcing the creature to fall to its knees.

The creature hit the ground just as (Y/n) scrambled out of the way. The agent grabbed one of the kryptonite shards off the ground and jumped in front of Doomsday as the creature looked up at him with hate in its eyes.

(Y/n): "Fuck you Crimson."

Doomsday opened his mouth to roar but the agent was faster. In the blink of an eye (Y/n) slammed the kryptonite into Doomsday's remaining eye.

Blood splattered out and the monster let out one final deafening roar before slumping forward.

The surrounding area fell completely silent as Doomsday's corpse continued to bleed across the broken floor of the building's lobby.

Nightwing: "Is it over?"

(Y/n) cautiously poked Doomsday's corpse with the last shard of Kryptonite before tossing the alien rock beside the monster's head and climbing out of the crater.

(Y/n): "Yeah... I think it's over."

Nightwing: "Way to stay whelmed in there. I don't think we would've stopped it without your intel from Waller."

Before (Y/n) had a chance to respond, members of the League showed up to investigate the sudden end to the fighting. Kaldur and Wonder Woman rushed to meet the heroes as they slowly made their way back into the street.

Nightwing: "Nightwing to all teams, Vanguard has neutralized the threat. Everyone able should switch our priorities to search and rescue."

Kaldur: "Are any of you hurt?"

(Y/n): "I think we're all good. Fate got a little banged up but I'm sure his magic will take care of everything."

Wonder Woman: "Your wife has a message for you."

The agent's heart skipped a beat as he sent a concerned look towards the Amazon warrior. The former co-chair of the league simply smiled and crossed her arms as she looked at the agent.

Wonder Woman: "She says to stop rushing into battle without a plan or she's going to permanently bench you."

(Y/n): "Well you can tell her that I did in fact have a plan and as you can see, it worked out perfectly."

The Amazon warrior smiled and rolled her eyes as (Y/n) continued to sass Zatanna's message.

Zatanna: "Care to explain what the plan was then?"

(Y/n)'s face went white instantly as his eyes widened in fear. He hadn't heard Zatanna land behind him but was confident she heard his entire sassy response to her message.

He stayed frozen in place as Zatanna walked around to Wonder Woman's side. He was slightly relieved when he noticed the massive smile on Zatanna's face.

Zatanna: "Though before you say anything I should tell you that if your answer included the phrase "I'm a professional", then you're sleeping on the couch tonight."

(Y/n): "Well at this point that's a given so I really don't need to say it."

The magician smiled and couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. She threw herself at the agent and hugged him as the pair let out a small giggle.

Zatanna: "I'm glad you're not hurt."

(Y/n): "Yeah me too."

When the husband and wife finally broke their embrace, the couple could hear the sirens of emergency vehicles approaching.

The heroes watched in confusion as a dozen armored cars rolled around the corner and surrounded their position. FBI swat agents immediately jumped out and took up firing positions all around the heroes. The sound of helicopters grew louder until everyone could see two FBI helicopters hovering overhead.

Wonder Woman: "What is the meaning of this?!"

Waller: "I'll let the former Division agent explain that."

The agent silently cursed as Amanda Waller stepped out of an all black suv and walked to the front of her agents positions. She had a smug smile on her face as she examined the beat up and exhausted heroes.

(Y/n): "I have no idea what you're talking about and even if I did, I can assure you I want no part in it."

Waller: "The last time I checked, stealing top secret information off a government server is a felony. So you can come quietly and we'll talk this through or my men can take you in and they won't be gentle."

(Y/n): "Human experimentation is also illegal, so why don't you back off before I have ANNA release the files I took to the press."

Waller: "I thought you might try something like that, which is why I had a lengthy conversation with the president about where you former agents stand. Let's just say he agreed that we need to eliminate the security risk you pose."

One of Waller's men stepped up to her side carrying a cardboard box. He unceremoniously dumped its contents onto the ground with a sinister smile on his face.

(Y/n)'s face went blank as his eyes were drawn to the contents of the box. Tens of ISAC watches laid broken and scattered on the street. Each with serious damage and no power to any of them.

Waller: "I must admit your agents put up quite a fight, despite being isolated across the country and cut off from ISAC. Oh, and thanks for shutting that supercomputer down, it made the former Division agents a lot easier to deal with."

(Y/n) didn't know what to say. His gaze was stuck on the watches as he struggled to comprehend what was before him. A cool breeze blew down the street as everyone fell silent.

Before anyone could react, (Y/n) drew his handgun and aimed it directly at Waller. The dozens of FBI agents aimed their weapons at the former agent as rage boiled inside him.

(Y/n): "Those were innocent people. People that saved this country from the Black Tusk, and you thank them for their service by hunting them down like wild animals."

Waller: "Drop your weapon agent, or we'll arrest all your friends and family as co-conspirators. You shared classified information with them in order to kill a government asset. I could arrest all of you if I wanted to. But fortunately for your friends, the president thinks that would be a bit excessive and ordered me to take you in alone. However... he did give me permission to take a few of your friends if you caused any trouble."

The agent tightened his grip on his weapon, glaring directly into Waller's eyes as she smiled back at him.

After a tense stand-off and without warning, he lowered his handgun and tossed it on the ground after emptying the magazine and round in the chamber.

(Y/n): "Fine. You win Waller, I surrender."

He was immediately grabbed by the FBI agents and hailed towards the closest armored car. Zatanna watched in horror as they handcuffed her husband and shoved him into the back of the vehicle.

She snapped out of her stunned state a second later and tried to walk towards Waller but she was stopped by Batman grabbing her wrists and an FBI agent pointing his gun at her.

Batman: "No, not like this."

Zatanna: "You've seen the Team's report on her Task Force X. If we let them take Vanguard she'll almost certainly put a bomb in his neck and force him to join. Then we either have someone with his skill working for Waller, or she kills him if he refuses to follow her orders. I'm not letting that happen."

The magician's eyes turned white as her hair began to levitate. Rage built inside her and she was intent on taking it out on Waller.

Batman: "Trust me and trust your husband. We may have our differences, but he knows what he's doing."

Zatanna: "Are you insane?! Waller just admitted to killing his men, he's emotional, irrational and she has him..."

Her words trailed off when she saw movement on a nearby rooftop. Her eyes returned to normal as she watched three figures in tactical gear move in the direction Waller's convoy arrived. She immediately snapped her gaze back to the street when she saw a little orange glow coming from one's wrist.

As she turned her attention to her husband, she managed to get one last look at him before the door was slammed shut.

Batman: "They've been watching us for a while now. With any luck they'll break him out before Waller gets out of the city. Then we can focus on taking her down."

The FBI convoy drove away as fast as they arrived, leaving the battered and weakened heroes in their dust.
