Comiccow6 again. I just want to say a big thanks to shock, IronLeprechaun, RedHood13, and many, many others for encouraging me to continue this series of movies. Now, onto the third part of the one you've been waiting for.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Agents burst through the other end of the portal. They had escaped the destruction. A 30-something man with white hair stormed towards Waller.
“What is the meaning of this? You didn’t have authorized permission to use the-”
James: “Faraday, now’s not the best time.”
CUT TO:
The heroes sit at a table, disappointed in themselves. Arthur is the first to speak.
Arthur: “I killed Orm.”
Flash: “Why didn’t you tell us before?”
Diana: “Leave him be. Arthur has dealt with the matter enough.”
Flash: “Fine. Forget I asked.”
Waller walks towards them, angry.
Batman: “Where are we?”
Waller: “It’s called the Watchtower. A giant space station. We spy on everyone up here.”
Diana: “Does the public know?”
SM: “Metropolis doesn’t.”
Waller: “Neither does the rest of the world. Look, I know you don’t like me. But get over it, because you all need to man up and beat the Legion of Doom.”
Hal: “Why us? Why did you bring us together? You don’t trust us, you don’t like us, and you have an army at your command. So what’s the point?”
Waller: “I tried. That’s the point. I didn’t want to, but after each of you came and ‘saved the day’, we realized that the world was going to get that much more dangerous. Heroes start showing up, villains are going to match them. Towns are built, but they are invaded. Laws are made but they are broken. There will always be chaos to combat the order. This was tried before, this ‘group project’, in the 50’s. It didn’t work out. But we tried again.”
Arthur: “Why are you using the past tense? Aren’t you still trying?”
Waller: “No. It’s over. The same result happened before.They failed a big mission. We had them disband. You couldn’t protect the base, so you’re finished.”
Batman: “What? No! You sent Diana and I to recruit Superman when he already declined! If we had been there-”
Waller: “But you weren’t! Even if you were, we’d still be in the same position we are now! The base would be destroyed, the Legion would know where we are, and you would all be defenseless!”
Flash: “But they don’t know where we are. This base isn’t destroyed. And we are not defenseless.”
Waller: “We’re done here. You can each go back home tomorrow.”
SM: “No. We were assigned a mission Waller. We’re going to finish it.”
Waller: “You have no say in the matter. If we see catch the slightest sign that you’re contacting each other, we will kill you.”
Arthur: “And where does that get you? You’ll be powerless against the villains, and we’ll be unable to stop them!”
Waller: “We can defeat the Legion.”
Batman: “Then why group us together in the first place?”
Waller: “Because I tried to trust heroes.”
Waller stares at the team. Superman looks her dead in the eye.
SM: “You didn’t give any of us a chance. You call us villains, but we’re not. You try to split us up when we did nothing to provoke you. You’re scared of us Waller. Don’t be.”
Waller: “I am not scared of you.”
Batman: “You are. Admit it Waller, just get it over with, and let us track down Ares!”
Waller: “No! As of now, you are disbanded!”
She storms off, leaving the heroes to their thoughts.
CUT TO:
ATLANTIS
Much of the city is destroyed.
Arthur wields his trident in the training room. He slashes at the dummies, letting all of his anger out. Stuffing floats through the water as Arthur destroys the mannequins.
CUT TO:
THE BATCAVE
Batman stands at the edge of a platform.
He looks down into a pit.
CUT TO:
METROPOLIS
Superman floats in the air.
He looks towards the destroyed base’s former location.
SM: “It’s not over.”
Diana: “Really?”
Clark looks down, stunned at Diana’s appearance, along with Green Lantern, and Flash. Superman lands on the rooftop.
SM: “Where are the others?”
Diana: “We can’t get to them.”
SM: “I can find Batman, but Arthur is gone.”
Diana: “Go to Gotham. We’re going to search what’s left of the base.”
Flash zooms off the rooftop, landing safely on the ground. He continues running as Green Lantern flies away. Diana looks at Superman, and jumps off the building, unharmed.
CUT TO:
THE WATCHTOWER
Faraday approaches Waller, who is looking out at space.
Faraday: “Amanda, we’ve known each other for very long.”
Waller: “Get to the point.”
Faraday: “You’ve been demoted.”
Waller: “What? How? I started this branch, I can’t be-”
Faraday: “You’re head of Research and Development now. I’m taking over your position.”
Waller: “No. No, you can’t! How?”
Faraday: “The Board doesn’t agree with you. Neither do I.”
Waller: “You had them-”
Faraday: “Amanda, you wanted to kill these people after they helped us.”
Waller: “They’re vigilantes.”
Faraday: “I think that they’re a bit more than just vigilantes. And do you really want to argue with the Man of Steel?”
Waller stares at Faraday, angry beyond imagination. She walks away, fuming.
CUT TO:
Faraday stands before a long table, with men and women sitting down.
“So you told her?”
Faraday: “Yes. She didn’t take it well.”
“You did the right thing telling us about her deal.”
Faraday: “I know. I will be replacing her, right?”
“Yes, we didn’t lie. The paperwork will be ready in a few days.”
Faraday: “Thank you Mr. Blairman.”
CUT TO:
OUTSIDE METROPOLIS
Flash searches through rock as Green Lantern lands next to him.
Hal: “Found anything?”
Flash: “Nada. This has turned into a huge mess.”
Hal: “The base?”
Flash: “This whole... whatever it was supposed to be. We’re al kidnapped, Ares destroys the base, Waller says she’ll kill us if we meet up again, but we do, and nothing happens. It’s a mess.”
Hal: “Need to look under that huge pile of rubble?”
Flash: “I could use a construct, yeah.”
Hal creates a giant shovel blade, and lifts up the rock, throwing it towards a far off field.
Flash: “What have we here?”
Barry zooms towards the cleared out area, digging through dirt. He pulls a large book from the ground.
Hal: “What’s in there?”
Flash: “Give me a second to open it, okay?”
Barry does so, staring in horror at the pages.
Flash: “This has info on the Legion. A cut-and-paste photo of the villains together? Suicide Squad? Hal, Waller didn’t want a team of heroes, she waned a team of villains!”
“And she got one.”
Ares appears from behind, hands behind his back.
Ares: “Waller found us all, and took us in. Well, not me. The others. When she learned of Themiscara, she was able to send in an agent, Steve Trevor. Of course, he, nor anyone else, knew of the island. Waller was able to recruit me before I returned to the island and was sent to the Underworld. Sinestro and Ocean Master were contacted by myself after they were cast out. I managed to recruit them both. Of course, You managed to defeat my crew here, but I will not fall so easily.”
Flash ran at Ares, but was knocked aside by Ares before he could react. Hal creates a giant, thick wall, and sends it towards Ares. The god puts his arms in front of him, and is hit. He digs his heels into the ground, and stops the wall. Ares pushes against the wall even harder, and starts to move it.
Ares: “I am the God of War! War... brings... FEAR!”
Ares shoves the wall, sending it straight towards Hal. It hits him, knocking the Lantern out.
CUT TO:
GOTHAM
Superman flies over the city, specifically Wayne Manor.
He looks down, using X-ray vision to spot the Batcave.
SM: “Got ya.”
Clark smiles, and zooms down, crashing through the ground, tunneling straight into the cave. Batman is unsurprised, looking as if he was expecting Clark.
Batman: “What do you want?”
SM: “What do we want? We want your help. It’s not over just because Waller says it is.”
Batman: “I have bigger problems.”
SM: “Like what? Some drug dealers across the street? Bruce, we need you.”
Batman: “You don’t need me Clark!”
Bruce nearly lunged out of the Batcomputer’s chair.
Batman: “I’m a man, I’m not special in any way, so why do need me?”
SM: “You’ve been thinking that the entire time, haven’t you?”
Batman: “I have. You’re special, Clark. Everyone else is special, but I’m only human!”
SM: “So am I. Bruce, we all are. Diana and I, we’ve had our powers since we were born, but Barry? Hal? Arthur? They lived a life as a normal human being before these powers were just... thrust upon them. I know what happened to you, and I could never relate to that. I don’t know anything about Kryptonians, I don’t know who they were, what kind of person I would have been; good or bad. I know what you did. How you secluded yourself, how you disappeared after college and reappeared just before Batman shows up. Bruce, powers don’t matter. You know more pain than anyone, and that alone is more important than flying, or super strength. Powers don’t make a hero. What you do with what you have does.”
Batman: “Let’s get going then.”
