Just a few days ago members of the Justice League faced off against Darkseid in Metropolis, Superman, Troia, Miss Martian and Queen Mera, managed to defeat Him after a lengthy battle, sending Him back through his own boomtube but not before Superman reprogrammed the motherbox, sending him through a blackhole. However before this entire battle took place, Darkseid and Brainiac made a deal, that would change the course of history. Superman mysteriously then vanished without a trace and slowly Time began to change, Fate had been rewritten. It was now up to the League to discover what happened to Superman, and more than that. Who is He?
[16:11] The League arrived at the watchtower on a seemingly normal day, but for some reason they had been receiving visions of a cape flowing through the sky and battles with a friend with a shield of an S on his chest, no one knew who it was but they each gathered in watchtower ready to share their vsions hoping to find some answers.
[16:13] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “So anyone else having disturbing dreams lately? I keep getting these odd dreams about some guy flying around in a red cape with a big S on his chest…..no idea who he is though…never saw anybody like that before.”
[16:15] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Hey Starman….how come you’re not in your usual uniform?”
[16:16] Troia nodded to Captain Marvel and nodded. “I’ve been getting them too and even consulted with the Universe Orb to see if I could find out why I was getting such visions. It is most strange.”
[16:17] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Do you think it may be some new supervillain?”
[16:17] Jack frowns and looks down at his clothes. “This is the same as I’ve always worn….. “
[16:17] Captain Edward J. Webster™ (damienmatthews) is offline.
[16:17] Firestorm would hear Jason ask him “Hey Ronnie have you by chance been having any unusual visions?” he responds “I think it’s either that or I’ve been dreaming” he hears Jason respond “I’ve had the same thing happen to me last night……who do you think it is Ronnie?” he replies “Even I’m baffled” he consults to the council asking Shazam “What could these shared visions mean?”
[16:19] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Well they can’t just be a coincidence….perhaps this is the scheme of some new supervillain or one of our old foes who has found a means to enter our dreams.”
[16:19] Troia drew in a breath and noted, “It is hard to tell when you have a vision within dreams. Sometimes it can be an omen or warning, but other times it could have other meaning. Either way, the fact that we all seemed to have similar dreams would definitely warrant investigation.”
[16:20] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “I agree, Miss Troy. This definitely does bear looking into to…but how exactly?”
[16:21] In that instance a loud bellowing sound is heard all around the watchtower and suddenly Doctor Fate arrives. “I am responsible for the visions, but for this purpose, The visions you have had are memories of a lost friend, one known as Superman. the fight you had Darkseid was only a distraction, one meant to hide a truly dark deed, Darkseid worked with Brainiac to eliminate Superman from History and now it is time I reveal to you the truth.” Immediately sending out a pulse, reminding the heroes of Superman.
[16:23] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) stops what he’s doing and stares wide eyed as images and memories of Superman suddenly flood his mind. “SUPERMAN! What…what happened to him?…..Where is he?”
[16:23] Firestorm would hear Jason say in a threatening tone of voice “if this mysterious figure is able to access the matrix “I swear I am going to kick his ass” he responds “I’m sure that won’t be happening” he hears Jason respond “I hope not”
[16:24] Jack blinks as the pulse washes over him…. he remembers flying with him, talking about giving up the Superhero life…. He remembers shaking his hand…. he remembers his visit to Krypton and his father…. “Superman…? How could I forget…..?”
[16:25] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “HOLY MOLY! This is serious!”
[16:25] Troia suddenly remembers Superman and frowns. “What happened to him? Why is it that none of us could remember him?
[16:26] Dr. Fate tells the heroes about how During the fight with Darkseid, Brainiac went to Superman’s fortress and traveled back in time using Superman’ Legionnaire Ring, not trying to kill Superman but to erase his fate, he managed to erase his memories of his power and that he was an alien, not only his but his parents as well. Effectively erasing his future as the Man of Steel.
[16:27] Firestorm would suddenly zone out as visions and images of Superman start buzzing in his mind he would then hear Jason ask “Ronnie are you ok? what do you see” he responds “it’s superman, but there’s something different, I can’t put my finger on it”
[16:27] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “So…er..wait? Are you saying that now he doesn’t remember he’s Superman? Or anything???”
[16:29] Dr. Fate nods “not even remotely, and from what I can tell, Brainiac used the Legion ring so this is beyond my reach.”
[16:29] Jack frowns, trying to think. How does one locate someone that never left a trail? Even in collecting, there were clues and provenances…. receipts and bills of sale that could lead one to an obscure treasure long thought lost….
[16:30] Troia looked to Dr Fate and asked, “So how do we restore Superman’s memories?”
[16:31] Jack Knight: Let me think…. if Brainiac altered the past, shouldn’t that leave a mark in history? A point of divergence that would give us a place to start looking?
[16:32] Dr. Fate looked at Troia and replied “If we can locate him, then we may be able to find out something from him, however Jack Knight is correct, there must be a point of divergence, something that stands out in time, then all we will need is a way to go back and change things to how they meant to be.”
[16:34] Firestorm would ask Dr. Fate “so there’s a chance we have to go back in time prior to Superman getting his memories erased?”
[16:34] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “We’ve got to do something…I mean the world needs Superman! WE need Superman! I take it though that except for us no one else remembers him now like we didn’t until you go here?”
[16:36] Jack felt like a complete rookie among these figures, and wasn’t sure what he could offer. “I traveled in Time once…. but I needed a spaceship and a mother box to do it….. I don’t suppose anyone has those or a time machine lying around?”
[16:37] Dr. Fate nodding in agreement with Firestorm “Yes Firestorm, we will have to travel back in time, but I am unable to, however, there is a problem we cannot go to far back, we need an exact moment so that we do not change anything to significant.” then looking to Captain Marvel he nods “sadly no, no one else knows, you are correct.”
[16:37] Batman: “Perhaps there’s another way.” A voice quietly whispers itself out of the darkness. In the far left corner, a shadow moves forward – and a pitch black cloak slowly flows out of the way “I’ve been keeping an active file tab of him for awhile. Maybe all that he needs is a bit of an instrusive pep talk.”
[16:37] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “I’ve gone back in time but it involved super-speed and using the Rock of Eternity to go back.”
[16:38] Dr. Fate looks to batman “you may be right Batman, if you can find him I may be able to awaken his memories.”
[16:39] Troia heard what Batman stated and turned around. “But will that fix history? A history where nobody knew of Superman?”
[16:39] Jack is startled by the sudden appearance, but gets ahold of himself. “What do you have in mind Bats?”
[16:40] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “We need to pinpoint the exact time where Brainiac interfered in Superman’s timeline.”
[16:43] Batman quietly approached the table – the dim light surrounding the Justice League heroes silently dropping alongside his concealed features – exposing them to the others. He took note of Troia’s remark, but ignored the others – instead only lifting his left gauntlet and sliping a digital lock across a hidden keypad sitting alongside the metal plates “Altering time and history can have drastic ramifications across the galaxy. Maybe even the Universe. We can’t risk that. Not even for him.” He quickly keyed down several words – and videos of Superman would appear over the holographic tele-coms sitting in the middle of the table “It’s not what he would’ve wanted. If this doesn’t work – I’ll consider it. But so far, this has to be Plan A. I have several sources working on identifying his current location. Once that’s done I’ll need your help to wake him up.”
[16:43] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “I can’t say I really know all that much about Superman save for fighting alongside him in the JLA here….I mean we’ve talked before but not much about his history any.”
[16:45] Dr. Fate senses something is wrong, “something is coming…but we must find where Kal-El is now, we will need his help.
[16:45] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Wait! What do you mean something is coming…..????”
[16:46] Firestorm is also curious of the impending threat
[16:47] Dr. Fate looks around, “it seems Braniac has returned, he has sent scout drones to our planet and no one is prepared this time, we need Superman.”
[16:48] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Then we need to find him and fast!”
[16:50] Jack Knight: Whats the plan?
[16:50] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Any luck with that computer, Batman? We need answers and fast!”
[16:51] Batman concealed his holographic interface – letting his cloak swipe back down across the sides of his body. Knowing the people around this table – Bruce peered his eyes into narrow slits. They were not going to like this. So, as gracefully as he could – Batman laid out the news in as a direct manner as possible “LexCorp. 89th floor. Electric Engineering Department. It seems Clark Kent’s time-line has been somehow rearranged into working closely under Luthor.”
[16:52] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Who’s Clark Kent???”
[16:52] Jack Knight: That….. makes a perverse sense
[16:57] Dr. Fate listens to bruce “Clark Kent, LexCorp, thank you, I will fix what I can, but you all need to be ready.”
[16:57] In that instance an alert goes off, an alien invasion has arrived on earth, an omega level event. “WATCHTOWER TO JUSTICE LEAGUE! WATCHTOWER TO JUSTICE LEAGUE! WE HAVE AN OMEGA LEVEL EVENT HAPPENING IN METROPOLIS!”
[16:58] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Er…am I missing something here?…Guess it will have to wait..looks like we got trouble! And without Superman around, we need to defend Metropolis!”
[16:58] Jack looks to the others. “Looks like we’re fighting aliens while Doc gets Superman back”
[16:58] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) looks at Jack, “Who’s Clark Kent????”
[16:59] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Everybody to the transporters!”
[17:00] Jack claps Captain Marvel on the Shoulder in a friendly way “He was a reporter…. had a close connection to Superman.”
[17:05] Jack flips his Goggles down into the ready position….. He had a feeling the Cosmic Rod would be shining brightly before too long…
[17:05] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “This doesn’t look good at all! I take it those things are Brainiac’s drones?”
[17:07] Jack Knight: Uh…… Cap, I don’t suppose you want to call the rest of your family in on this, do you?
[17:08] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “I’m afraid I’m not exactly sure where they are….Last I heard they were dealing with a volcanic eruption on some Polynesian island helping to evacuate islanders.”
[17:10] Jack sighs and touches a signal in his rod that, in theory, should alert the JSA to the imminent danger. Hopefully they would arrive in time…. “Ok then….. Guess its up to us in the meantime….”
[17:10] While Doctor Fate had a talk with Clark Kent The League faced off against a bunch of Brainiac Droids, when suddenly Firestorm vanished, time fluctuations erasing people from time.
[17:12] “This is Lois Lane of Galaxy Communitcations coming at you live on the scene of what seems to be an alien invasion. I am not sure what these things are here to do but they have already killed a few humans and it seems many leaguers around the world are vanishing without a trace.”
[17:12] The Batwing came down – rocketing across the skies and finally into sight silently. It was surprisingly fast, circling over the city before descending further and planning a counter attack Members of The Justice League. This is Batman. I’m remoted into the Batwing – if any of you need assistance, let me know. Until then, I’m providing air security. The hardest hit points are in Downtown and Western Central. Heading there now. As soon as that message came down the comm-links of each member, the Batwing swooped across the sky – dissapearing over the skyline.
[17:13] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Batman, open up a salvo on those drones in front of us and then we will dive in and help clear them away before they attack any more civilians!”
[17:14] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) sees the Batwing fly off, “Too late…Guess we’ll hav eto take care of this the old fashioned way! OKAY! COMING THRU!” With that he takes off at super-speed towards the horde of drones in the street before them.
[17:15] :: Claude Restless OOC :: Moments right after Shazam would finish his sentence – several high-pitch flying mines would attach to the ground. Bruce really did think of everything. Apparently, before flying away – the Batwing deployed some sort of high-powered defense matrix across the battlezones. Upon imact, these mines would dig themselves into the ground, and release a piercing repetitive signal – attempting to destabilize and deafen the drone’s AI interface!

[17:19] Meanwhile at LexCorp Doctor Fate continues speaking with Clark Kent, about his past, and asks if he may show him why he needs his help. “Clark Kent you are more than a mere human, you are an alien from far beyond our galaxy, sent as your planet’ last born son, to Earth, you are a hero in red and blue. a symbol of hope, and it is time for you to remember.” Sending a pulse Clark Kent begins to remember small details, but not everything. Clark then replies to Doctor Fate “Okay if I am this Superman, I can’t say that I am but if it is true, send me to the fight, I need to help. f I can.” Suddenly in the blink of an eye, Clark Kent Appears in front of the heroes as Doctor Fate leaves to find a way back to the past if the plan fails.
[17:19] Jack takes off to get some altitude and begins to lay down some salvos of cosmic energy blasts at the various robots…. while trying to position himself between the robots and the civilians so his forcefield could protect the bystanders as they fled the chaos… “Everybody off the streets! Get clear!”
[17:22] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) as he goes flying into the mass of drones sees a bespectacled man standing there, “HEY! GET THAT CIVILIAN OUT OF HERE!”
[17:24] Clark Kent arrives next to the fight, worried but ready to fight, seeing all the heroes around him he begins questioning if he can do this, “I hope this works” Clark then runs at one of the droids and is immediately shocked to see it fly away in pieces, “woah!…”
[17:25] :: Claude Restless OOC :: I need to log for now but thanks for the RP! ^_^
[17:26] in that instance, Batman vanishes into thin air. and a laugh bellows out from above, as Braniac hovers down to meet the heroes. “Well well, looks like I have finally one this fight.”
[17:27] Jack Knight: Oh … crap….
[17:28] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) ‘s eyes narrow as he spies Brainiac appear, “You haven’t won anything!” He flies towards him prepared to knock him silly!
[17:31] Troia sees the civilian running at one of the drones and was not surprised that it flew apart, but since he likely had no idea who he really was he also probably didn’t have an idea of his powers. She ran up to him and told him, “I’m afraid I’m going to have to ask you to step back and leave the fighting to us.” She delivered a kick behind her, trying to destroy one of the bots.
[17:34] Jack flies by rapidly, firing three quick but powerful blasts of cosmic energy at the three droids on the right flank, still trying to put himself between the civilian in the Tee Shirt and the bulk of the invaders…. “Get inside, MOVE!”
[17:39] as the droid numbers begin to dwindle they try using any organic material they can try and strengthen their numbers, turning a few humans into slaves. “Assimilating… Assimilating…”
[17:44] Seeing the heroes and their will power driving them to keep fighting, he tries to get back into the fight, but doubting who he is suddenly he sees a vision that shows him what it means to be Superman, a memory of his parents and a stranger telling him “They can be a good people, they wish to be, they only lack the light to show the way, for this reason above all; I’ve sent them you, my only son…” Suddenly a red and blue suit appears on Clark Kent as he shouts, “I am Superman! This is my City, and this world belongs to no one, you will not harm another human as long as I live! Now get out of here!” Superman then tears into Brainiac, using his Heatvision to tear him apart.
[17:49] Brainiac Feeling his numbers dwindling, and his plan failing, then begins remembering his fights with Superman, becoming enraged by Captain Marvel’ attacks and by the Kryptonians comments “You will all die this day!”
[17:51] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Not if the Justice League has anything to say about it, Brainiac! Besides…I brought you something!” WIth that he does a flyby of the giant robot getting as close as he can before shouting, “SHAZAM!” To draw a magic lightning bolt from the skies above to strike him.
[17:54] Troia watches as a familiar blue and red suit appears around the civilian and smirks a bit, hoping that this meant that time was about to be restored. She started to unleash her full fury on the robots, trying to hit as many as she could. “Now it’s time for some real retribution.”
[17:56] Jack fires at the droids, not noticing the purple glow in the eyes of the man he’s trying to “protect”…. He fires off an especially large blast At Brainiac himself, trying to help keep him distracted so the big guns could finish him off….
[17:58] With only 3 Droids Remaining, They begin to retreat to try and recoup but too late as Troia has torn them apart returning them to their nanite form, like dust on the ground.
[18:05] Superman delivers the final blow coupled with Captain Marvel’ Attack, and Jack Knight’s, sending Brainiac flying back in a massive shockwave.
[18:06] Jack watches Captain Marvel’s strike and winces. “I fought him?” he thinks to himself…
[18:06] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Yeah TAKE THAT! Now get your metal butt OUT of Metropolis and OFF OUR Earth! And dont’ come back any time soon! GOT IT?”
[18:06] Superman astounded by the outcome, then looks to Jack Knight “thank you for your help, that blast of yours kept him at bay long enough, I’m glad this all turned out well.”
[18:07] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “Welcome back Superman!”
[18:08] Jack nods to Superman and gives him a lazy salute. “Least I could do…”
[18:09] in that instance, Brainiac vanishes and in a blink of an eye the league is suddenly zapped away in a tidal-wave of energy.
[18:09] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM): “er..aren’t you missing a big red S on your chest though?”
[18:10] Captain Marvel ( SHAZAM) is slammed into the street. “HOLY MOLEY! WHAT WAS THAT!?…unh…okay that’s gonna leave a mark I think….”
[18:10] Superman looks and smiles ” hmm you’re right, something is a bit off, but then again time is a bit different now.” Suddenly he sees all the heroes vanish in a tidal wave of energy and is soon swept away himself.
Find out what happens, Next week at 4pm sl time!
