Fighting for peace

Superboy ran down the sidewalk of the sewers but came to a stop to inspect a small pile of clay, he picked a piece of it up before throwing it to the ground, he looked ahead of him and behind him a tentacle of clay came up and grabbed him

"You will always fall for this game!" Clayface came out of the water and pulled Superboy over to begin pushing him inside his body. Superboy tried to fight as clayface chuckled "Struggle all you want kid, even a Kryptonian has to breathe"

"Let him go!" Miss Martian flew up in camouflage mode and used her telekinesis to free Superboy. Once he was free he jumped out of the way to avoid a hit from clayface "Delta squad we've flushed the target, converge on our signal"

"We can play it this whole day nothing you can do can hurt me" Clayface formed some spikes over both of his hands aiming them at M'gann and Conner but from behind him disks came out and shot into his back electrocuting him but he just chuckled "that don't work anymore"

"Then try this!" Superboy took out a pellet from his pocket and threw it into clayface's mouth, it exploded in his stomach making him turn to sand. Superboy walked up "Distraction went off as planned Red Robin" smiling over to him "Thanks"

He stepped out of the shadows "Just happy it worked"

Out of a duct to the sewer came an alligator that morphed into Beast boy "Aw man Is it over already? I didn't even get a souvenir for the trophy room"

Blue Beetle came flying up but backed away from the smell"Dude! I think that smell qualifies"

Bumble bee flew up in her miniature form and flew around clayface before turning back to full size by Conner and M'gann. M'gann pulled down her hood "Delta squad to cave" pushing her com-link "Target neutralized"

"Good work delta, come on home, Nightwing out"

Nightwing knocked La'gann to the ground once again in their sparring match "Neptune's beard!" punching the ground then turned up to Nightwing "You did it to me again!" Nightwing helped him up "I don't care how many years you trained as Black Bat, Nightwing or a talon one of these day's your mine"

"I don't doubt it lagoon boy"

RECOGNIZED: SUPERBOY B-04, MISS MARTIAN B-05, BUMMBLE BEE B-07, BEAST BOY B-19, RED ROBIN –B-20, BLUE BEETLE B-22

Bumble bee returned to full size as a man walked up to her "Slow down beautiful wanna tell you what's on for tonight"

"Oh sorry Mel I can't" pulling down her cowl "I'm already late for a session with Dr. Palmer" beginning to walk away "Take a rain check ok baby" she told him before leaving

"Rain check sure"

"Conner!" Cassie yelled happily as she flew up to him "Welcome home" hugging him

"Thanks Cassie" he smiled down at her

M'gann walked past them pretending not to notice but she looked on sadly

"Hey M'gann I was wonder if you would like to.." La'gann came up to her

"Sorry La'gann I'm gonna hit the showers maybe another time"

"Now that sounds like a plan" Blue beetle turned back into his civilian form and looked down at Beast boy "For you anyway" beast boy looked down at the muck all over him before following the others out

"Clayface is safely back in his cell at Arkham asylum" Red Robin reported to Nightwing

"Good work" he smiled

"I didn't do much I jus—" he was interrupted by a transmission to the cave

"Emergency alert" Captain atom called "United Nations headquarters is under attack"

"Zeta's only 2 blocks away" Mel told Nightwing

"Captain Atom the team's beta squad is in the vicinity, ETA 3 minutes"

3 police officers came running down the hall and aimed their guns at an intruder "Freeze!" but they were all knocked out by the person's weapon. He reeled his weapon back in and strapped it to his back and spoke in a foreign language to a man in a suit and two other officers before they backing into the room

The door was blasted down and the police began shooting at him to try and stop him but it didn't have any affect and he just walked up to him putting his finger to the gun and the policeman fell to the ground he then spoke to the man in the suit backed against the desk

"Please I don't understand" putting his hands up "I don't know what you want"

The man pressed a button on his belt that activated a translation "So that's how you want to play it? Fine contract calls for the main man to put on for the locals. So one more time, surrender or die" narrowing his eyes

"Contract? Show?!"

"Yeah there it is" the man said just as a boy jumped over his shoulder and landed between him and the business man sending an explosive at him forcing him back a bit just as a girl jumped in the windows that had exploded from the force and landed next to the business man

"Red Hood keep him busy" Batgirl told his helmeted companion companion "I'll get secretary general sang to safety"

"All over it sister" Red Hood narrowed his eyes at the man

"Who are you where are you taking me?" Mr. Sang asked Batgirl as she pulled down a curtain revealing a metal door

"Down!" she grabbed the man and pulled him into the elevator

"Alright big guy let's see how much you got—" Red Hood said trying to punch him before he was sent into the wall behind him and fell to the ground

"He thinks he can take down the main man?" the man asked as he walked toward the elevator

"We'll get you out through the general assembly building" Batgirl pulled Mr. sang along out of the elevator until they were knocked the ground when the man crushed the elevator under his feet as he landed

Batgirl took out a smoke bomb and threw it at the man's feet so when the smoke cleared they were both gone. They ran through the assembly building but she pulled down when the man's weapon came after them

The man walked into the room but he was knocked off his feet when a grappling hook from behind swung at his feet and Red Hood ran in "Hold it clown face we weren't done back there!" the man came at him but he jumped up and landed a hard kick to the head then to the chest forcing him back a little before launch a grappling hook at him

The man laughed turning back to him and grabbed the wire pulled it to make Red Hood come along too and get a punch to the face sending him a few feet back before landing on the ground. Batgirl looked over to him in shock then turned to Mr. Sang "When I move run!" turning to peek over the desk and jumped up flipping over the man and landing on a desk in front of him but was knocked over when the man knocked over the desk . The man said something in a foreign language until he noticed two bombs attached to his neckline and they exploded sending him back against a few desks

Red Hood came at him from behind but he was grabbed my the arm and thrown over to Batgirl sending them both to the ground so seeing both heroes were down he went after blocking his path to the door "Time to die, crollo"

Batgirl and Red Hood got up and ran over as the man picked up by the arms and began ripping him apart

"No!" Batgirl yelled until the man was completely torn apart and revealed he was fake being controlled by a small alien "Ew!"

The man grabbed the small alien and said something in a foreign language "The main man's contract is complete" he pressed a button on his belt "Your worlds, your world!" he told the two heroes before the door exploded, he turned and walked out of the hole to an aircraft with the alien putting it in restraints before taking off

Batgirl walked out of the hole "Clown face must have been some type of alien, what do you think?" turning to Red Hood seeing he was looking at the fake body of

"That's not even the scary part"

"See! see!" Gordon Godfay reported watching the video of Main man ripping apart "The big alien rips open the phony secretary sang and pulls out the little alien. oh I know what you're saying folks good old 's lost it what's this the 8th billionth time he's run that clip? But that's because I'm trying to wake you up! Turn and look at the person next to you my friends, how can you be sure he or she is even human? When is the old mighty justice league going to find a way to scan for these aliens? Who exactly are they trying to protect?

"Ok sure" He walked over to a screen pulling up an image of two famous Justice League members "Superman and the Manhunter from mars seem to be on the side of the angels but that's two aliens in the good column" He then turned to the screen behind him pulling up the image of Main Man and the little alien "And two in the bad, let's see if we can get some answers?"

"Thanks Gordon this is Cat grant at the Hall of Justice I'm going to try and get a statement from two members of the league Zatanna and Batwoman" walking up to them as they were walking to the entrance

"No comment" Batwoman told her as they walked in and a tour guide woman spoke instead

" I told you the league will issue a statement soon" she said before closing the door and Cat turned to the camera shrugging

"Did you see that folks?" Gordon asked "That was league public liaison Katherine gabear literally stone walling GBS's own Cat Grant! What's the league hiding? We never provide safe haven for a Kryptonian and the Martian but what if that's not all? What if the amazons came from outer space or the atlantiens? How do we really know flash isn't an alien? Or Hawkman, or Icon. What are they keeping? From the real earthlings? Like us"

At the Watchtower

RECOGNIZED: ZATANNA B-08, BATWOMAN 17

The two women walked in to Green Lantern reporting over Main Man to some of the team and league members

"Big guy's logo, he's an intergalactic bounty hunter, extremely dangerous but not likely to return. The little guy's another story that's a krolotean and kroloteans always travel in packs"

"Meaning more of them are on earth" Batman summed up

"I believe my friends may have vital information on that" Martian Manhunter turned to a doctor "Some of you may not have met Adam Strange of Star Labs ordeal initiative. He is the scientist responsible for maintaining the Zeta beam technology we use for teleportation "

"Was wondering why a stranger was aloud on the top secret watchtower" Superboy commented over the team's telepathic link as Zatanna stood by Nightwing and Cassie stood by Conner

"And he has a story to tell" J'onn finished

"Ah it's a little involved I wish I had visual aids or something"

"I can assist you" J'onn's eyes glowed "We are all linked Adam, what you remember we will see"

"Ahhh…great""Well I was performing a routine Zeta-tube upgrade when something went wrong and I found myself transported halfway across the galaxy to a planet called Rann and there was a scientist there. Sardepth he was conducting his own experiments in enhanced…very enhanced zeta-beam technology, it took weeks to establish even basic communication but Sardepth eventually made me understand some of his zeta tech had been stolen"

"Fit's the krolotean MO" Green Lantern said "Their entire culture revolves around stolen tech"

"Sardepth detected transmissions between a single location on Rann and multiple locations on earth" Adam turned to the heroes "He was attempting to trace those when he accidently teleported me to Rann" he pulled something out of his lab coat pocket "He gave me this" it pulled up a holographic image of earth "It detects zeta radiation and can pinpoint all the locations kroloteans are beamed to earth"

"Then I'm ordering a two pronged attack" Captain Atom walked up "We'll stage simultaneous raids against krolotean target on earth, while a contingent of leaguers travel to Rann with strange here to cut the kroloteans off at the source"

Adam cleared his voice to get their attention "Um we may have a problem with that, second prong" pulling up another image on the device "totally unclear on the why but earthling are persona non-grata on Rann's corner of the galaxy"

"Then we'll send 15 other leaguers to Rann to investigate"

"You're not getting it. There's a planetary watch alert for the leaguers as well"

"Not all of us are leaguers" Nightwing walked up "I can send a squad to handle the Rann things"

"Do it" Captain atom told him

Nightwing nodded before walking out with Zatanna at his side and the other team members followed when Adam called to Superboy

"Uh if your going don't wear that shirt" indicating to the S symbol on it, Conner and Cassie turned to each other lifted an eyebrow before she shrugged and kept walking

"It's all hands on deck" Nightwing reported "The league and the team will hit all krolotean zeta locations simultaneously, your priorities are to destroy all zeta-tubes or platforms and search for any humans the aliens may have abducted as always Mel I ops manager coordinating com from here"

"Come on alpha squad" Lagoon boy muttered

"Jason you come with Zatanna and I on Alpha"

"Wow really" He was obviously lifting an eyebrow

"Neptune's beard!" Lagoon boy groaned

"Assignment Philadelphia"

"Ok, ok Beta" Lagoon boy muttered

"Stephanie " Nightwing turned to Batgirl family member "Wonder girl, Bumble bee, you two and wolf are beta" lagoon boy groaned again "Assignment Valatavastok" Nightwing then walked over to the last members "Tim, La'gann, beetle, your gamma prep the bio-ship your headed to New Orleans"

"Gamma always gets the soft gigs" La'gann grumbled stalking off with Blue Beetle

Nightwing stopped time before he walked off "Time, you'll be running gamma"

"Me?!" Tim's eyes widened "Dick I've never led a squad before"

"Making this a good opportunity to get your feet wet as a field leader"

"Because its gamma and you're not expecting trouble or because were stretched thin and you have no choice?"

"Just don't die little bro" Jason told him as he and Zatanna were waiting for Dick

"And don't cause any unnecessary risks to the squad, that's an order" Nightwing finished and Time nodded

The Bio-ship flew in Camouflage mode to a junk yard "A tool shead?" Lagoon boy asked looking down at the small compartment as he drove the ship "Barely enough room for one zeta tube in there, I knew we got the soft gig"

"And yet I'm strangely ok with that" Blue beetle sat back with his hands behind his head "Yes I am. Yes I Am! YES I AM!"

Tim and La'gann gave him a strange look before Tim pressed his logo on his chest "Gamma squad to cave were in position" the symbol brought out a holographic screen of Mel

"Acknowledged Gamma all team squads and Justice League units are in place and ready, go time"

The hatch of the Bio-ship opened up and Blue Beetle flew out as Lagoon boy and Red Robin landed o behind him on the cars. Red Robin nodded to Beetle letting him make a sonic wave at the shed and completely destroyed it

Lagoon boy jumped down to the rubble and kicked over a small toolbox "Congratulations blue you took out an actual tool shed" looking up to the other two

Red Robin pressed his com "Gamma to cave there's no zeta tube here, no kroloteans, no hidden entrance"

"Watchtower sensors still read zeta radiation from the sight"

He looked at a screen in a small device in his hand seeing a large red dot around their area "Confirmed but the zeta radiation is coming from…below the water line" he turned to their atlantien "You're up"

A few minutes later Lagoon Boy jumped into the water and spread apart some plants to see a large compartment entrance, he pressed his com-link and then Blue Beetle and Red Robin jumped down into the water swimming toward the entrance. Red Robin pointed to lagoon boy then to the entrance. La'gann smiled and began growing his muscles and forced the door open letting the other two in first before following them and shrinking back to normal size

The three resurfaced on the inside and their eyes widened at the sight, Tim took out the re-breather from his mouth gawking seeing a large facility with hundreds of kroloteans around, they hid behind some stairs and tim pressed his com-link "Gamma to cave we hit the mother lode huge base, alien tech, multiple zeta..uh..platforms and more kroloteans than I can count"

"Acknowledged we'll send backup, until then lay low"

An alarm began going off "That may be a problema ese" Blue Beetel pointed above the wall they were hiding behind so Tim and La'gann looked to see they had been spotted on a camera that the kroloteans were looking at and they were coming after them

Blue beetle narrowed his eyes at la'gann "Soft gig huh?"

"Beta to cave" Batgirl reported "We found a zeta platform the kind strange described, there were two kroloteans here but they zeta'd away before we could apprehend. No human prisoners"

"Acknowledged destroy the platform and report back" Mel told them as he typed away on several holographic screens

"Alpha to cave, one platform, now non operational, one krolotean escaped, 0 abductees" Nightwing reported

"Leaguers are getting the same results and Beta"

"And Gamma?!"

Mel cringed "Yeah about them.."

Blue Beetle and Lagoon boy turned to Red Robin for instructions, Time quickly went into leader mode narrowing his eyes taking out a bo-staff and jumping up "Form up blue, maneuver 6"

"Si hermano"

Lagoon boy stepped beside Tim "Stay illiquid hermanos"

Time ran at the kroloteans kicking one before using his bo-staff to knock two more out of the way and kicking another one, Lagoon boy came up behind growing his muscles and as he landed the force send several kroloteans away. Tim continued fighting the kroloteans with his staff before jumping up and doing a round kick to know them all away then using the electricity in his staff to electrocute one away then hitting two more that came up behind him and sending explosives to other kroloteans.

Lagoon boy lifted a piece of the floor to knock over some kroloteans that were coming after him, Blue beetle flew in the air and used a sonic wave to knock out several more coming after him then turned to Lagoon boy seeing he was struggling so used the sonic wave at the kroloteans coming after him

One kroloteans noticed blue beetle and said something that made all of them stop and begin running away to the zeta platform

Lagoon boy shrinked "They really don't like you, I'm a little jealous!"

The Kroloteans leader was most likely telling the others to evactuate as it turned pulling up a screen

"He said what?" Blue beetle asked

"I said I'm jealous!" Lagoon boy yelled "You don't need to rub it in"

"Not you the thing over there" pointing to the leader

"Wait for can understand the screeching how?" Red Robin asked as he faught off some kroloteans that were escaping

"I-I don't know exactly but I can and he's ordering for all the kroloteans to zeta off world, he's setting this place to self destruct in 4 minutes"

'Man does this sound familiar' Time thought remembering Dick's grandfather "Then were getting out, anything else I need to know?"

"He said something about sacrificing the playthings below"

"Playthings? Aw man the abductees!" Tim's eyes narrowed

"3 minutes 30 ese! Boom!"

"And Nightwing said no unnecessary risks to the squad" Tim remembered "But this is necessary. Below! We have to get below!"

"There!" Lagoon boy pointed to some tubes that some kroloteans were going through

"Beetle on point! Go!" Red Robin ordered

"Going!" Blue Beetle formed a ram with his hands and knocked the kroloteans out of his way as he flew down the tubes and knocked another one as he came down and Red Robin and Lagoon boy came down too

"Grab him!" Tim pointed to the krolotean

Blue beetle picked him up by the back of the neck

"Hello is someone there? Please get us out!" Tim turned and saw some human trapped within a cage and ran over to them

"It's Red Robin!"

"Thank heaven!"

They gasped as they saw Lagoon boy and Blue beetle running up behind tim

"More aliens!"

"Get away!"

The women screeched as they backed in the cage

"Hey were not aliens" Blue beetle argued then looked to the krolotean in his hands "Ok well he is. But were not!"

"Get this open!" Red Robin told Lagoon boy and he grew his muscles making the people inside scream as he grabbed onto the cage and ripped it open before shrinking back to normal size

"Thank you, we didn't mean.."

"It's fine, I get that a lot"

"Ask him the fastest way out" Time told Blue beetle

"Dude I don't speak the….wait you can..what are you waiting for?"

"Blue's an odd little fish isn't he?" La'gann walked over to them

Blue beetle began speaking in the Krolotean language to the krolotean then turned to them when he was finished speaking in it before shaking his head "I mean this way, come on!" running out with them behind

The screen counted down in the language numbers until the entire place burst into flames in a large explosion, in the ocean outside the junkyard the abductees began resurfacing through the water. Tim took out the re-breather from his mouth "Where's La'gann?" looking around until he resurfaced in front of him

"That's right! Gamma squad rules!"

Tim sighed in relief until Blue beetle looked up "Uhhh Rob" they all turned to look up and saw the rest of the heroes arriving. Superman, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Hawkman were the first they saw then turned to see Red Tornado, Icon, Captain atom, Rocket, Captain Marvel. Green Lantern arrived with Green Arrow, Black Canary, Plastic man, and Black Lighting. Doctor Fate arrived with Batman, Batwoman, Aquaman and Flash.

The super-cycle came to a stop with Nightwing, Zatanna, Red Hood, Batgirl, Bumble bee, Wonder girl and Wolf

Red Robin, Blue beetle, and Lagoon boy looked to each other wondering about the scolding Nightwing was about to give them and gulped

"Dude way to get your feet wet" Nightwing smiled

Tim smiled up at his brother

To be continued

I loosened up Dick's attitude a bit because he's finally free from his grandfather and doesn't have to worry about him anymore, I probably won't do the episodes that don't have Dick in it and I've already decided that Dick is going to fake his death against Kaldur because Wally didn't want Artemis to get involved.
