Chapter five:
"Are you sure you don't want me to go down?" I asked Dinah Lance.
"Yes. Superman got it covered." She replied.
"It doesn't look like it." I said, as I watched Clark Kent fight Ares. Batman then came down into the fight, and brought Ares onboard the jet. Batman removed his helmet and looked at me.
"This is not a school trip. Who's the kid?" Bruce Wayne said.
"Travis LaRowe. Mr. Wayne. And I can run fast." I replied.
Our flight back to the watchtower was long, and fairly quiet.
"What's your thing, pilates?" Bruce Wayne asked Clark Kent.
"What?" Replied Clark Kent.
"It's like calisthenics. You might have missed a couple of things. You know, doing time inside of the phantom zone." Said Bruce Wayne.
"Martian Manhunter didn't tell me he was going you in." Replied Clark Kent.
"Yeah there's a lot of things that Martian Manhunter doesn't tell you." Said Bruce Wayne and there was a loud rumble followed by a few strikes of lightning.
"Where is all of this coming from?" I asked. Ares then shifted in his seat, and caught the attention of Clark Kent.
"What's the matter? Scared of a little lightning?" Said Clark Kent.
"I'm not overly fond of what follows." Replied Ares before something landed on top of the jet.
"Okay. What the hell is happening, Ares?" I asked and Ares just smirked at me.
Bruce Wayne put his helmet on and opened the rear hatch. A amazon girl, landed on the hatch and walked into the jet. Bruce Wayne held his hand out, but the lightning bolt, pushed him backwards. "Is that the daughter of Zeus?" I said to myself. Diana Prince then grabbed Ares by the neck and flew away with him.
"Another Greek god?" Dinah Lance asked.
"You think that she's friendly?" Replied Clark Kent.
"It doesn't matter. If she gets away with Ares, or kills him, the mother box is gone." I explained and Bruce Wayne nodded in agreement.
"Wayne, we need a plan of attack." Said Clark Kent.
"I have a plan attack." Replied Bruce Wayne before flying off.
"I'd sit this one out Superman." Said Dinah Lance.
"I don't see how I can." Replied Clark Kent.
"These guys come from legends. They're basically god's." Dinah Lance explained.
"There is only one true God, ma'am. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't dress like that." Replied Clark Kent before flying off.
"It would be rude of me if I didn't go." I said.
"No, no, no, you're just a kid." Replied Dinah Lance.
"Lance, is it alright if I call you by your last name? Martian Manhunter called me here for one reason. So I'm going." I said.
"No. You could die. And we don't want that, but yeah, you can call me by my last name if you want." She replied.
"So could Clark, Bruce and Ares." I sighed as she ignored me. "Fine." I said before sitting back down.
Batman flew into Wonder Woman and dragged her into a clearing.
"Do not touch me again." Said Diana Prince.
"Then don't take my stuff." Replied Bruce Wayne.
"You have no idea who you're dealing with." Said Diana Prince.
Ares watched from above as the two of them fought. They threw each other into tress, and punched each other. Wonder Woman brought Zeus's lightning bolt to her hand, and pointed it to the sky. A thunderbolt struck the bolt and Diana Prince pointed it at Bruce Wayne. The thunderbolt redirected itself to Bruce Wayne, sending him flying backwards.
"Power at 100% capacity." Said Alfred.
"How about that." Replied Bruce Wayne as he punched Wonder Woman and sent her flying across the forest.
(Back in the watchtower.)
We all sat at a table. Diana Prince and Bruce Wayne had decided to join us. While Dinah Lance and I were watching the footage of Ares being put in his cage. Martian Manhunter was explaining stuff to him, but Ares was talking to us.
"A mindless beast. Makes play and he's still a man. How desperate are you, that you call on such lost creatures to defend you?" Ares asked.
"How desperate am I? You threaten earth with a war. And you steal a force you can't hope to control. You talk about peace, and you kill because it's fun. You have made me very desperate." Martian Manhunter replied sternly. The camera footage stopped pacing, and Billy Baston started pacing.
"So, why has a young child been called upon?" Diana Prince asked walking over to me.
"You want something to eat? A chocolate bar or something?" I asked her and Diana Prince just looked at me. "No? Okay, I'll be back in 5 seconds." I ran out of the room, and came back with a granola bar.
"So you can run fast." Wonder Woman asked and I nodded at her.
"Ares is going to drag this out. So Diana, what is his play?" Superman said.
"He has an army called the Hierarchy. They're not from Olympus, nor any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth, in return. I suspect, for the mother box." Diana Prince explained.
"An army, from outer space." Said Dinah Lance.
"So he's building another portal. That's what he needs the scientist for. But why does he need Katniss Everdeen for?" I asked.
"Scientist?" Diana Prince asked.
"Etta Candy." Replied Billy Baston.
"She's a friend." Wonder Woman said.
"Ares has her under his spell, along with one of ours." Replied Dinah Lance.
"I wanna know what Ares wants from her." Said Clark Kent.
"Woah, guys. One question at a time." I said. I then started thinking why Ares would've needed Green Arrow and Etta Candy. Bruce Wayne then walked into the room.
"Am I the only one that did the reading?" Bruce Wayne said after explaining everything and I nodded at him. Bruce Wayne and Billy Baston then started talking about science stuff, which I lost interest..
