Justice League of Amazons: Mass Effect

Summary: another creation Freedom Guard shared with me before his passing and the scenes were too good to leave rotting, so I thought I should share what Freedom and I wrote together with you all.

…

Now we begin

…

"Ugh...damn...I never felt this bad before..."

Commander Adam Shepard, Spaceborn and the Lion of Elysium, as well as the very first human Spectre managed to finally recover enough and get up, a wave of nausea hit him but his N7 training and his own naturally quicker healing got him back up to his feet, though he decided to take out a stim pack injection, which shocked briefly as he expected all of his gear to be ruined after the encounter with the Catalyst and then his choice to sacrifice himself to finally put an end to the Reaper Cycle. The pain that came from the injection and the flow of the drug into his system shocked him even more as he soon removed his helmet and began to gasp in some air.

"H-H-How the hell...how in the hell am I still...alive?"

"This...this has to be a dream...no, if it was, why did I feel pain?"

He moved his hands once more and looked nearby to see a puddle of water and looked to see his face...there was a green glow in his eyes for a few moments and then began to flicker back and forth and he saw moving lines of green there. He had no idea why this was the case, but soon he recalled...

"The Reapers...God did it work!"

He rushed out to see that there were no signs of the beings, there was no fires, no signs of destruction...it worked...but then he saw things that confused the hell out of him...the architecture was odd...the cars were...on wheels?! There were no signs of the things he knew and he could not help but stare in shock...all of this was familiar to him.

(This is...Earth...yet...this is early 21st century tech... what the hell happened to me?!)

"This...this is impossible..."

"You lost?" a voice asked.

Adam was still in shock when he quickly turned around, unsheathing his Revenant and aimed it right at the one behind him... seeing a rather attractive bespectacled blonde woman who wore that era's line of clothing, had her hair in a ponytail and wore glasses, which were by all rights antiques back home. He tried to remain calm but the sudden shock of somehow coming back to life... and somehow travel BACK in time utterly caught him off guard and thus he was not sure if this was some Reaper trick to mess with his mind one last time.

"Who are you?!" he barked.

"Wh-Whoah! Easy...my name is Felicity...Felicity Smoak! I am not a dangerous person okay? Please put that down!"

Adam said nothing, shaking his head, trying to make sense of what had happened to him but he was still reeling from all of this and spoke once more.

"What year is this?" he asked.

"2015..." the blonde replied.

(No... what the hell is going on here?)

"Look, I know this is going to sound weird but...why are you alive?" Felicity asked

Adam glared.

"What kind of question is that?" he retorted.

"Oh! Listen... I... I should tell you that... all men on Earth died out months ago. I'm sorry but who are you?"

Adam was confused to hell by such a claim and spoke once more, though as far as he could tell she was not lying and thus decided to lower his weapon a bit, showing that he was on a more cooperative mood.

"In regards to my name, I am Commander Adam Shepard of the Systems Alliance and a Citadel Spectre" Adam replied calmly as he could, now on to the next matter.

"And what do you mean every man on earth is dead? There's no way that many can die in months" he then said.

"You don't know?" Felicity asked incredulously.

"I wouldn't be asking you if I did right?"

"Well, this Amazon woman called Aresia created a virus that's killed every male human on earth" Felicity explained "Not even babies or children were spared" she said.

"That's... that's insane! What the damn hell is her reason for killing off men like this? How the hell did she even pull it off?"

"That's what I asked too when...many good friends of mine who were men died."

Felicity replied despondently but she managed to get focus on again "But the question is how are you even alive?" she asked, eager to learn just HOW this was possible.

"The disease should have killed you as well!"

"It's complicated..."

Adam soon told his story, from start to finish and explained how he had been given advanced gene therapy as a Soldier in the Alliance and as a Commando, then underwent massive bio-reconstruction and cybernetic enhancement after his first death and how he had been purged of any remaining DNA flaws… and finally how he had been altered by Synthesis somehow to be much stronger than before.

"So you're effectively immune to this disease?" Felicity asked in awe and Adam nodded slowly.

"I am not so certain... yet, but it seems that way since I can actually sense these particles but they don't seem to affect me, somehow my body is purging it from the air I take in."

"Then... maybe you can help the world" Felicity said "I mean I could take you to STAR Labs and they could take a sample of your blood and come up with a serum they can inject in unborn babies so if they're born male, they won't be affected by the disease!" she added excitedly.

Adam was silent, but soon replied.

"Where do I find this STAR Labs?" he asked.

"I can take you there" Felicity replied "Follow me" she said and the young woman then lead Adam through the streets of the city and then women started to notice a single male human walking down the streets of the city and they each asked how a single male human could immune to the disease. Then many women started following Adam and Felicity.

"I feel like a deer being hunted."

"I know" Felicity replied "Just keep walking and don't make sudden movements" she said.

Soon they reached a building with the words STAR Labs written on the front of it and they then entered the building where they found some women milling about. One of the women then saw Felicity and Adam and said "Felicity? Who is he?" she asked.

"Hey Allie, this is Adam Shepard" Felicity replied "He's not from around here" she said.

"I can tell" Allie remarked as she looked at Adam's N7 Gear and weapons and then asked the burning question she KNEW was on everyone's mind.

"How is he even alive for that matter? The disease is still in the air" she said.

"Well, Adam says he has advanced gene therapy and enhancements as per the military unit he was in that grants him immunity to various sicknesses as well as having... special bio-synthetic enhancements that are harmless to improve the immunity, and apparently... it works the same way with the disease Aresia used… he's even... purging it from his cells every time he breathes!"

Felicity explained, trying her best NOT to let out too much hope into her voice.

"If what he's saying is true, maybe he can help us" she said.

"I don't know" Allie replied uncertainly "we'll have to run some tests" she said.

"Do it then."

The two went to it and finally got a sample.

"I'll just go run some tests on this" Allie said while trying to remain objective as Adam was very handsome indeed.

"Why don't you take Adam to the cafeteria?"

She suggested to Felicity who nodded and took Adam to another room, all the while women stared at the reborn Human Spectre.

As he sat down to eat Adam could not help but feel like he was being undressed by the women in the cafeteria, it was not as if he had not been through something similar in his youth when he was joined the military. But it was never this bad and while he knew some guys would love this kind of attention, this was getting a little out of hand even for him. It did not help matters that he noted that even Felicity was looking at him, though a lot more discreetly than the others were.

"As much as I know most guys love the attention...this is starting to creep me out."

Felicity could not help but feel sorry for Adam, and she also could not help but feel some other emotions, the first was slight amusement, for his first name was that of the first man born on Earth in the Bible, ironic indeed. The second was desire... and it was for good reason as the guy was indeed handsome and after trying to deal with the result of that Amazon's weapon on men, seeing a new flesh and blood male who was possibly immune to the disease that killed so many was new. And of course... jealousy and possessiveness since obviously the way the other women were ogling him made her want to stake her claim on the man no matter how outright impractical that idea was.

"Sorry, but I think you can understand the reasons as to why."

Adam chuckled a bit and smiled, unaware that seeing him smile and laugh actually shot sensations up Felicity's brain and a lot of other parts in between.

"Yeah... still trying to wrap my brain on all of this. I just hope this... Aresia gets tried and executed for this genocide... I'm not going to say men are saints, I've seen how cruel and inhuman people can be of ANY gender... but this... this is madness. I normally don't do executions myself, but if I could, I will."

"You and other as well... uh listen, can you... tell me again about your reality?"

Adam drowned his orange juice and replied.

'Sure...just don't be surpised if some of the things kind of fly over your head."

But before anything could happen, someone showed up, someone that Felicity had NO problem recognizing.

"Amanda Waller... oh great... I should have known CADMUS would find out about you somehow."

Adam looked at the woman and already got the feeling he had only when dealing with one person...The Illusive Man. That alone already put the woman into his list of people never to trust.

Amanda Waller marched over to Adam and spoke "My name is Amanda Waller. I work with CADMUs" she said as she stuck her hand out to shake. Adam reluctantly shook the woman's hand and replied "Adam Shepard" he said "What do you want with me?" he asked.

"Right to the point? I like that" Amanda remarked "CCTV cameras saw you entering STAR Labs today and since Aresia's man-killing virus is still in the air, it begs the question of how you're still alive" she said "So may I ask how you are even alive?" she asked.

"Would it comfort you to know that I don't feel like sharing that information just yet?" Adam replied calmly. A little twinge appeared in Amanda's calm face but she smiled pleasantly and replied

"I can assure you Mr Shepard that I don't mean you any harm" she said "I only want what's best for the world" she added.

"I can imagine you do" Adam remarked "But from what I can gather from everyone's expressions here, coupled with my personal impression of you, you aren't someone I should trust right away" he said "because I don't know whether or not your intentions are pure" he added.

"My intentions are for the greater good, Mr Shepard" Amanda replied calmly "And the greater good right now is that you'd best surrender yourself to CADMUs" she said.

"So you can cut me open and find out what makes me tick?" Adam asked, Amanda stayed silent "Yeah, that's what I thought" Adam said "So I'm going to have to respectfully refuse your request" he added.

Amanda nodded slowly, turned and left the cafeteria.

It was not long before Allie showed the medical results to Felicity...and it was right on the money. Adam Shepard's DNA showed that not only was it immune to the disease but could actively purge the disease from the environment when he breathed in and out. That news was amazing and also something that seemed to make Adam sigh a bit as he had a sneaking feeling this was going to bite him in the ass soon. However, it was here that Felicity spoke to him on what just happened.

"Hey, not that I don't think that she deserved to be told no... but are you sure that being like that to Waller was a good idea?"

Adam nodded and replied.

"Yeah, I've met her type more than I'd care to like...reminds me of The Illusive Man."

"Who?"

Adam shook his head and soon Allie and Felicity were treated to the story of Adam's encounters with the former leader of the now destroyed human supremacist group of terrorists known as Cerberus. He spared no details on what the group had done and who made it up. He did not mind telling them that he had encountered good and honest people in the group and who had broken away when they saw just how far it had fallen. But when it came to the xenophobic fanatics and those who willingly became husk like soldiers when the man used Reaper tech on them... he did not hesitate on that front. Needless to say, right to the end of said conversation, Felicity and Allie, as well as anyone in earshot were caught by the story... and were utterly disgusted with the man.

"God...that guy is sick..."

"Yuck..."

"Oh God I'm going to hurl..."

(I've known some really creepy characters... but this Illusive Man... damn...)

Allie quickly put two and two together and spoke.

"is that why you were quick to say no to Amanda Waller?"

"Yeah, she might not have Reaper tech shoved into herself but she has the same aura of the Illusive Man, I never trusted him and only worked with him and his lackeys because at the time I did not have a whole lot of options when I was technically nothing more than meat and tubes. But I knew that while he felt he was doing the right thing, he was still a Reaper stooge in the end, he did manage to fight it, but he still became the one thing he tried not to be...a rogue that had to be stopped" Adam replied.

Felicity nodded, still wrapping her brain on the fact this guy died...TWICE...

"So what do you plan to do now?"

Adam thought about it, and was not all that sure himself, but he had a sneaking suspicion that considering that he was the ONLY living male left in the world... he was technically... a HOT commodity in this world. Good Lord... Garrus would have a field day laughing at him, and... Miranda would be glaring at him in warning... God he missed his old crew.

"I'm not sure... but seeing as I might very well be the proverbial Last Man on Planet Earth, getting myself killed in some way is a bad idea?"

All of the women nodded without batting an eyelash and Felicity replied.

"Yeah, you nailed it there... and everyone I guess will want a piece of you so don't expect them to let you go so easy."

Adam raised an eyebrow at that and replied.

"And I suppose I won't be too far off the mark if I said you two are in the same boat?"

That earned a blush from the bespectacled blonde and her companion, Adam sighed and spoke again.

"Man... Joker would have a field day with this... so I have no doubt the very second I set up shop in the city... I'd never have a moment's peace?"

Felicity nodded and replied.

"Yeah... because right now... you're pretty much worth more than all the precious stones and metals on this planet a hundred times over."

"And that means I have to be in a lab for the rest of my life and be a baby maker? That just sounds... wrong... sure that's like the fantasy of every man I know of... but they apparently didn't get how the reality of it would go. I'm a soldier Felicity, and I would rather be doing my job than being sent on the sidelines, never was much good in the desk."

"I don't think they'd want you in a desk..."

Adam sighed again and replied.

"No... I might be flat on my back and getting ravished 24/7 by every woman on the planet. You have any idea just how... weird that sounds to me. Sure, man's fantasy and the like, but still not something I signed up for."

The women had to admit he had a point there but they also knew that considering that his existence was going to spread like wild fire soon, then every woman who were around were going to go on full scale riot mode and take him for their own... and already it was perfectly clear to them that there would be trouble. And sure enough... one of the female security guards came in and spoke.

"We've got large crowds of women coming in! They know our guest is here if we don't do something they might riot and that can be bad!"

Allie sighed at that.

"Oh God... what do we do?" she asked.

Felicity sighed and replied.

"We got to call the League in on this... they are the only ones who could help right now."

...

In the Watchtower...

Dinah Lance could not help but shout out into the phone as the others in the newly formed League heard her.

"There's a living man in STAR Labs?!"

THAT got their attention and soon after Diana got the comms to STAR Labs active, they saw Felicity and next to them was... Adam Shepard as Felicity spoke.

"Yeah, his name's Adam Shepard and he has quite the story to tell, but we have confirmed that he is immune to Aresia's disease. Problem is... well, every woman in a hundred block radius KNOWS he's here and unless we have some way to prevent it, those ladies are going to riot and break in here! We're trying to synthesis some sort of cure from Adam's blood if we can, but we need to get him to a safe location! Guys... please we need help! Adam, poetic a name choice by the way... may be the ONLY one who could save the Human race!"

Diana was amazed that there was a single male human left standing after Aresia's disease, since it had killed Clark and J'onn both of whom were aliens that were superior to humans so it begged the question of how Adam was still alive with the disease still in the air.

Shayera then spoke "Alright, we'll head down there as soon as possible, Watchtower out!" she said before cutting the link. The Thanagarian woman then spoke to the reformed Justice League "You heard the lady! Let's get down to Earth and secure Adam! Move out!" she ordered and every Leaguer scrambled to the Javelins and clambered into them and flew out of the Watchtower down to Earth.

After reaching earth, they parked a little way from STAR Labs and stood atop of a building where they saw the crowd of women pushing at the doors of the facility.

"Damn... all this? Over a single guy?" Mari McCabe AKA Vixen asked.

"Well, if what Felicity said is true, then Adam may be the only one who can save the human race" Zatanna said.

"How do we get into the building?" Kara Zor-El AKA Supergirl asked.

Shayera then saw the rooftop door on STAR Labs and she pointed it out "We'll get in through the door and take Adam out that way" she said and the Justice League then made their way to STAR Labs rooftop and entered through the door where they were greeted by a female security guard.

"I take it you're here for our guest?" the guard asked.

"We are" Shayera replied "Take us to him" she said and the guard then lead the Justice League to a secure room where they found Adam going over his weapons and he turned to look at him.

(Damn! He's even better looking in person!) Zatanna thought to herself as she looked at Adam's face for the first time since seeing it on the screen.

"I take it you ladies are the Justice League?" Adam asked.

"We are" Shayera replied "And you must be Adam Shepard right?" she asked, Adam nodded in reply and said "Yeah, and I'm guessing you guys are here to take me to a safer place than this?" he asked.

"We are" Diana replied "We saw the crowd outside, they're getting out of hand" she said.

"Then we'd better get moving" Adam said as he loaded up all his weapons.

Felicity then looked at Adam and said "I guess this goodbye, huh?" she said.

Adam looked at Felicity and replied "Come with me" he said and Felicity looked at in surprise and asked "Why?" she asked.

"You're the first friend I've made since coming to this place" Adam said "I trust you" he added.

"How do you know I won't try to use you to get me pregnant?" Felicity asked. Adam smiled and replied

"I can tell when people lie to me, call it my superpower" he said "And you are a terrible liar" he added which made Felicity smile and Adam then looked at the Justice League and asked "Is it okay for Felicity to come with us?" he asked.

"Well, if you trust her than it's okay with us" Dinah replied.

"Let's get going" Shayera barked "Or else those women out front are gonna break into the place" she said.

And soon they were all back onto the rooftop where Diana used a remote to call the Javelins to them and they soon were flying away up into space towards the Watchtower.

As soon as he saw the Watch Tower, Adam was reminded of Arcturus Station, he had only been to the former Alliance station a number of times in his career ever since joining the Marines. And eventually he was awarded the Star of Terra for his actions on Elysium there. Now...the memories made him remember the brave men and women who manned that station on the onset of the Reaper invasion and how many gave their lives there. As he thought it over, he noted that some of the League were looking at him and finally the one who had the the look of a warrior princess about her spoke.

"I take it this is not the first time you saw a space station?"

Adam nodded.

"Yeah...where I come from, Mankind already went into space and met other races, had a first contact that went south, but was stopped from becoming full scale war. I'm sorry, but who are you exactly?"

Diana became uncomfortable and the others knew why, if she revealed she was an Amazon and thus related to Aresia in association but not by blood then there was no telling how he would react. There was no doubt he had been informed of Aresia by Felicity and what she had done to the men of this world. And judging by how well armed he was, and how he carried himself, he would NOT like the idea of being near an Amazon.

However, being who she was, Diana decided not to lie.

"I am, Diana, Princess of Themyscira...home of the Amazons."

And sure enough, Adam frowned darkly at her and spoke.

"An Amazon? I'm wagering a guess you know this...Aresia?"

"Yes...she was...my adopted sister, Aresia was not born on Themyscira, she was a refugee adopted by my mother Hippolyta when she was one of the few survivors from a war found after their boat sank. My mother told me that ever since then she felt that men were the cause of so much suffering, which was why she was able to use our beliefs well into her own. We knew we taught her the beliefs of our people as we welcomed her...but this...this was not what we thought she would do."

Adam was quiet and glaring but then spoke, there was a tone of anger but it was calm.

"So you took in a traumatized war orphan, taught her a belief that men were not needed, well aware that because of her past she could very well have developed an intense hatred for men. You granted her powers, and apparently she created a bio-weapon to kill ALL the men on the planet...regardless of whether they were good people or not to not only gain her revenge but also bring your beliefs to the logical outcome in HER mindset? Did I miss anything?"

Diana would have been angry at this, but...after seeing the sheer tragedy of what Aresia had wrought and how she believed that this was the rightful end for all men...she could not find it in herself to defend Aresia. What she had done...was indefensible. Even the Goddesses who were people's patrons could not defend Aresia from the wrath of Zeus as for all their power, he was their father and King of the Gods as well as the maker and creator of men, and this...senseless slaughter by one of their chosen people even if adopted had put them on VERY thin ice with their father.

"No...and I will not defend Aresia's actions...I watched good men die and I saw how the loss had driven...many women insane. My people are hated now for what Aresia has done and we know that we are on a knife's edge now. I can understand why you would be angry being near an Amazon, let alone the adopted sister of the one who committed all this. But I can say this without restraint that I am not like Aresia.. and not all my sisters are like her. And I will do what I can to undo the damage Aresia did."

Adam looked at her intensely and said nothing for a while, making the atmosphere tense in the room, until he spoke calmly.

"I believe you, I can tell that you were not lying in how seriously you take this. I personally don't hate you or your Amazon kindred, since hating an entire group of people for the actions of one is both foolish and also short sighted. But it's not me you need to convince after all."

That helped ease the tension and soon the team arrived at the station. Adam looked the place over and soon he was brought to face the members of the League and soon he decided to tell them his story again. He also provided them more information on subjects that could make sense. And his powers were seen as he was able to create a special device that allowed him to show the League his memories. There they saw his life as a military kid all the way to him becoming a Marine and his battle on Elysium. He also spoke of the different races he met and dealt with, and eventually he spoke of the mission on Eden Prime that led him to fighting the renegade Turian Saren and his master Sovereign a living vessel known as a Reaper. And here they would see the people Adam saw as allies, friends, and more...Garrus the Turian rebel and former C-Sec detective, Wrex the Krogan Mercenary, Tali the Quarian Machinist and tech expert, Liara the Prothean Scientist, Kaiden Alenko, the Biotic Officer, and Ashley Williams the Marine.

They witnessed many actions he undertook, like saving the Zhu's Hope colonists without harming any of them, liberating the Rachni Queen instead of killing the last of her race, and many others, including sparing Wrex's life on Vrmire. They saw him become close to Ashley and how she died on Vrmire even though it nearly killed Adam to do this. They saw him defy orders from Udina and go to stop Saren and the results of the battle. They also saw him die when the Normandy was attacked and he was spaced...and how he was brought back to life by Cerberus and soon how he worked with a crew that was as unique as his old crew.

Miranda Lawson, the Cerberus XO who despite her being cold and calculating showed a more human and gentle side of herself to only those who she knew were utterly trust worthy and how she and Adam developed a deep relationship after helping save her sister Orianna. Jacob, the former Alliance Marine who only worked with Cerberus as long as they did back their words with action. Thane Krios, a Drell assassin and Biotic seeking to redeem himself before death would take him, Jack, a former Cerberus lab subject Biotic who was very powerful and had a LOT of emotional baggage that Adam helped her with and helped broker peace between her and Miranda, Zaeed Massanni, a Mercenary who despite filled with rage was a man who would fight o the death when his loyalty was gained. Samara an Asari Justicar who's calm and serene nature, as well as her inherent beauty as an Asari despite her age belied her power and fighting skill. Tali who was now stronger and braver. Garrus who had left C-Sec and fought on Omega. Mordin a Salarian doctor and former Special Forces officer as well as scientist with a serious motor mouth. Kasumi Goto, a playful thief who's skills were in line with Catwoman yet she stole for fun and never for money. Grunt a fierce and powerful young Krogan who became Adam's student in the art of war. And last was Legion, a Geth unit that sought Adam to see if it could gain his help to deal with the renegade Geth Adam fought two years ago.

With this crew he fought with the Collectors, the remains of the now enslaved Prothean race, and they saw how he had to make many difficult missions and choices until he destroyed the Collector base, in defiance to The Illusive Man.

He also showed the outcopme of the battles with the Collectors and after what he had done with the Bahak System in trying to warn the Batarians to leave the colony after the Alliance Team there had been indoctrinated by the Reapers. They witnessed him face the fall of his Eath against the Reapers and his promise to himself to return and carry on the fight that was to come. They witnessed every mission he would undertake to help rally his reality's forces against the Reapers and meeting both new and old allies and friends.

He would meet Kaiden again though his ally would not join due to severe injuries on Mars and the issues of his worry on Shepard still being with Cerberus, until the mission to liberate the Council from ther Cerberus coup where he wouyld stand again alongside his friend and brother in arms. Then he would meet Vega a gung ho Marine who had hopes to honor the loss of his unit and make up for the mistakes he felt he made. The new shuttle pilot Steve Cortez. A reunion with Miranda and a reaffirmatyion of their relationship regardless of what they would face together.

The reunion with Garrus, now an adviser to his people as he is the highest in terms of experience with the Reaper Threat. Then with Liara who now served as the new Shadow Broker after Adam aided her in freeing a friend and defeating the Shadow Broker and using her new assets to find anything to complete the Crucible. He would also meet Javik the Last of the Protheans, who despite his imperialistic nature was ready for a fight against the ones who killed his people. And to their surprise, they would soon meet none other than EDI who had used the cybernetic body of the Cerberus forces that had been on Mars and had injured Alenko.

The League saw him unite with Mordin and help complete the cure with Maeleon's data along with aiding the Biotic and Tech students of Grissom's Academy which is where they would meet David Archer again as well as Jack who had become a teacher to the students. Then dealing with a number of critcal missions for many of his crew and also to bring up the fighting strength of the Alliance and dealing with the politics. It came to ahead with Cerberus many times over as well as meeting Wrex who now led a rescue team for Bakara, the female shaman of her people, defeating many threats and ending wild fires that threatened to tear this fragile alliance to shreds. The Krogan were soon cured but at the loss of Mordin and Adam refusing the order of the Dalatrass who wished to sabotage the cure.

The Cerberus coup happened and while Udina who aided the coup was slain by Kaiden when the truth came out along with many Cerberus agents, they lost Thane who gave his life to stop assassin Kai Leng from killing the Salarian Councilor.

Soon they moved to fighting Cerberus on Thessia after meeting again with Jacob Taylor, Zaeed Massanni, Samara, Kasumi Goto, and then with Tali. This was after gaining the aid of both the Quarians and the Geth, ending a three centuries long war without losing either fleet, but losing Legion in the process. But in Thessia, Cerberus interfered and stole the Prothean VI needed to locate the last part of the Crucible. It was a blow but soon they recovered and launched a counter strike on the location of Horizon where thanks to his warning Miranda survived an ambush by Kai Leng and the revelation that Sanctuary was a Cerberus trap and what the man planned to do with the signal regardless of the lives, human and otherwise he would sacrifice.

And soon they launched a full scale attack on Cronos Station, the main base of Cerberus after dealing the identity thief that tried to steal Shepard's life and a rogue agent named Maya Brooks and Cat ^ Mercenaries hired to take over the man's life. Soon Cronus would fall and Adam avenged the slain Thane by killing Kai Leng. Soon they launched a deadly last gambit on Earth now that the Crucible was ready for use and all the finest assets and troops were assembled for the battle.

They witnessed the courage and fury of all the unified races in the Galaxy to fight the Reapers and how Shepard rallied his team and reminded them that while this war had brought so much pain and loss, it brought them together...as allies, family, and friends. That was something that no power, not even the Reapers could destroy it and no matter what happens this day, no matter how this turns out, this war was going to end.

They saw him and those who followed him take the plunge and drive deep into the unknown and finally enter the now secured Citadel, where he would face the Illusive Man and managed despite being forced to shoot Anderson to force the man to shoot himself and after some parting words with the man who was like a second father to him, Shepard would meet the Catalyst...

And make the choice to sacrifice himself to break the cycle once and for all, and did so recalling all of his friends, allies, the good people he helped, and those he lost...Miranda most of all as his entire being was scattered through the galaxy and transform all organic life into a fusion of organic and synthetic, with his own DNA being part of it, his soul as it were being given to all life...and in doing so ended the need for the cycle.

And yet...somehow, he had been brought back to life...more powerful than he had been and yet still able to breath, bleed, and feel pain...here in their reality.

And soon Adam was done as he sighed and spoke.

"So you know who I am now, and now I wish to know if I can finally take a rest. Is there a room I can use around here?"

However before things could be settled... Mari came in as she had managed to finish the story and grab a meal and check the news.

"We have a problem...apparently someone leaked footage of Adam being in STAR labs to every news channel around the world. And right now there's demands from the media, the population, and the newly elected female led governments from EVERY corner of the world to speak to the man."

Diana and Shayera were none too pleased by this alongside the others as Dinah spoke.

"How the hell did this happen?"

Felicity spoke.

"Normally I'd say you need a hundred guesses, but in this case, it narrows it down to one...Waller, apparently she was none too pleased that Adam refused to join CADMUS, and she decides to blow the whistle on him. And I'd imagine she would use whatever resources she has to twist the facts to put the screws on us and him."

Kara then spoke.

"Well...that means only one thing, we call a reporter who we ALL know is after the truth and ain't the kind to twist facts."

The others nodded and it was here that Adam replied.

"As long as said reporter is like Diana Allers and Emily Wong, and nothing like Al-Jilani then I am willing to give this a shot."

...

Lois Lane entered her apartment after finishing a piece on Aresia's virus wiping out every male human on earth when she received a call on her cellphone and she answered it

"Lois lane of the Daily Planet speaking" the feisty reporter said automatically.

"Ms Lane, it's Wonder Woman" came the reply. Lois's face scrunched in anger as she said "What brings the high and mighty Amazon whose own Amazon sister killed every man on the planet to call me?" she asked her voice low and dangerous, the kind of voice she used when proceeding to make someone's life hell as some of her past boyfriends could attest to if they were alive that was.

"I didn't come to pick a fight, Ms Lane, it's just the Justice League would like your help" Wonder Woman replied meekly.

"what kind of help would that be?" Lois asked.

"Well, if you've seen the news reports, the Justice League now has the only living male human on board the Watchtower and everyone on Earth wants to speak with him" Wonder Woman explained "And given how the media can twist people's words, we'd like you to do an interview with our guest so that the public will get the straight truth" she said.

"So what's the guy's name?" Lois asked curiously as she put aside her anger towards the Amazon princess.

"His name is Adam Shepard" Wonder Woman replied "Perhaps you would like to speak with him?" she asked.

"Sure, put the guy on, I'm sure he's loving all the attention by now" Lois said dryly.

There was a shuffling in the background and Lois then heard a man's voice "Is this Lois Lane of the Daily Planet?" the man's voice asked. Lois couldn't help but blush as she heard a man's voice for the first time in a long time "Y-yes! This is Lois Lane" Lois replied jerkily "And you're Adam Shepard?" she asked hesitantly.

"I am" Adam's voice replied "I gather you've heard a few things about me by now" he said.

"I haven't watched the news in a little while" Lois admitted "But I understand that you're immune to the disease?" she asked.

"For some strange reason, I am" Adam replied "And I'm not from around here just so you know" he then said.

"Where are you from?" Lois asked.

"I'm from an alternate universe that's far ahead of this world's time and technology level" Adam replied.

"Any other differences you can tell me?" Lois asked as she began to picture what Adam looked like.

"well, if you want to know more, than you'll have to come up to the Watchtower and find out" Adam replied.

"Alright, I'll do it" Lois said "I look forward to meeting you" she added with a smile.

"I look forward to meeting you as well, Ms Lane" Adam replied before hanging up.

…

Adam was thankful to be given some fresh clothing while out of Armor...he also took the time to clean himself up and was now only wearing jeans, shoes, socks, and a shirt with a leather bomber jacket of sorts. How this was with them was a bit odd until he learned that the clothes belonged to one of the original League members, a man by the name of Wally West or rather the Flash.

He was not sure about that but decided that he did not have a whole range of options for now and so accepted the clothing. He also took the time to check his gear and figure out just what happened to him that made him come to life and whatnot since by all rights, he should have been nothing more than data. Not that he did not mind being alive and whatnot, but being sent here was not one of them. he recalled seeing an old sci-fi series called Sliders that had the team land on various versions of Earth...

And ironically, one such episode had the team land on an Earth where 80 to 90 percent of the men died and were pretty much in the same boat as he was.

"God... I do not need to know that again."

He had busted a gut at the situation the guys had landed in, but now that he was in something like that, he could understand why one said he would rather have his liver eaten by a vulture swarm than land here again. Still this was where he was and he had to make the most of his situation and find a way to help the people. Though acting as the SOLE male alive in a world inhabited to the nines by men was a bit much. He then recalled that he would need to meet with this Lois Lane who after reading her file was pretty much high up there with Emily Wong, and Diana Allers. Al Juilani changed in the Reaper War but her smear campaign in the past was something he felt he could have done without.

As soon as he felt he was ready, he went to meet Lois in the meeting room and hopefully get to know this reporter more before committing to a course of action. He had however learned that she had an axe to grind with Diana since she apparently had been quite close to a Clark Kent who was actually the civilian identity of Superman and had learned of him being one and the same when he lay dying...

(Damn...this complicates things.)

Soon however, he was able to see Lois Lane and had to admit she certainly looked the part of the drop dead beautiful reporter but he knew she was also a tough as nails woman who was not afraid of skirting the edges of danger. He respected that, but frowned a bit to himself when he saw her giving Diana the evil eye... and Diana knew that she deserved it since Superman was the founder of the League and had been truly dedicated to peace and justice and knowing that one of her own killed him who had been the more welcoming of her into this group.

(Can't say I blame her for being angry at Diana, but Diana is not Aresia and at least she is working hard to fix this instead of wallowing in anger.)

He placed that aside and walked over to Lois and when she saw him he gave her a smile and a nod of respect.

"Lois Lane, my name is Adam Shepard, Systems Alliance N7 Commando and Spectre."

Lois couldn't help but admire the sight of Adam as he walked to her with purpose and pride but not the kind of pride that he was now the sole surviving male human on earth but rather the pride of a soldier defending his country and people. Lois had given Diana the stank eye since she came aboard the Watchtower; a part of her could never forgive what Diana's Amazon sister had done, the one man she loved and respected had died in agony because of Aresia's hatred of men all borne because of Amazon ideals and teachings.

Lois had seen many women go insane at losing husbands, sons, fathers and brothers, and many women hated the Amazons for what their ideals of not needing men had done and she too had nearly descended into madness at seeing Clark and her father General Sam Lane die in agony, struggling to breathe as the disease took hold of them but she held on as she had the vainglorious hope that there was some way this could be fixed and that Aresia would be punished for her act of gender genocide against the human race.

Diana could not help but feel shame on herself when she saw Lois giving her the evil eye; Aresia was responsible for killing the love of Lois's life Superman who had revealed to Lois as he lay dying that he was Clark Kent all along and she did not blame Lois for hating her because of what Aresia had done but Adam's words rung in Diana's head that to hate an entire group of people for what one of their own had done of her own accord was foolish and short sighted. Yes there were men out in the world who gave their gender a bad name but it was a two-way street with plenty of women who gave their gender a bad name as well and not all men were bad and not all women were good. Diana took some measure of comfort in that train of thought.

Adam began to recount the story of his life to Lois and she made sure to hit him with all manner questions to make sure that his facts were right and he was not trying to bullshit her. He liked that and at least she made sure to listen and get the facts right. That made her a hell of a lot better than most reporters he had met, barring of course Allers and Wong.. He also showed Lois the records of his reality, and the various races that called the place home, and also those who became his allies, friends, family, and more. He also made sure to show the people who were his enemies, allies of necessity and worse.

After all, he could not just show the good things and not the bad since doing so was a mistake and not something that could be undone if it was revealed by someone else for their own benefit. he had that happen to him more than once and that annoyed him a hell of a lot more than he would have liked.

As soon as he was done with answering all of the questions and showing the images he was soon asked by Lois on how he was taking the fact that he was the only living human on Earth.

"Not the way most men would take it I suppose. Most guys would like the attention and whatnot, but they have no idea about the cost of being in this kind of situation."

"Oh? What sort of cost?"

"Freedom for one, I'm a soldier Miss Lane, my duty, my life ever since I enlisted in the Military was to fight and protect the people. I can bet here I'd be treated like I was a glass statue and to be protected and pampered."

"I see..."

"Most guys would like that, but I'm not one of them, and my mother would have been annoyed at the idea of my being a lazy layabout freeloader."

"You do realize that it's to be expected that no one here wants' you to be harmed right?"

"Yeah, but that hardly means I have to like it, plus I can bet that all the governments would at some point want to either use me as some form of bargaining chip, or organizations would love to cut me open and find out what makes me tick. Not only that, I wouldn't put it above those same people who might try to use whatever cure that could be made from me as a way to leverage more power for themselves."

"true enough, what else would you call to be a downside?"

Adam sighed a bit and replied.

"being reduced to e baby breeder for one...no need for me to explain that part."

"I suppose… now I have to ask...how did you feel when you found out about what happened there...thanks to Aresia and the teachings she lived by?"

THAT he knew was going to be asked of him, and he could tell that this was going to be shown ALL over the world at some point, and he could see that despite remaining calm, Diana was listening to what he would say alongside everyone else in the League. There were some of them who had a less than stellar view of Diana after this debacle alongside everyone else who lost so many people who were important to them because of Aresia, but they knew at least that she had no part in any of this. But it was not just them that Diana had to convince but everyone else on Earth who despised her and her family for what was done to them.

"To be honest, I am angry and disappointed that Aresia for doing this...no matter how one feels about those who wronged them to place the same sins on an entire group is not only a crime against life, but a sin to the soul in many ways. I know who Aresia is prior to being an Amazon and while I can understand why she would have a low view of men, what she created to murder so many makes her no different to the people she hated...in the essence, she merely became the very thing she wanted to fight...a monster."

"But to me, to hate the Amazons as a whole more specifically Wonder Woman for the actions of one fo her own would be very short sighted and dangerous."

"Why is that the case?"

"Diana never took part in the whole affair and I have learned enough to know that she had tried her best to stop Aresia. One should not forget that Diana had defied the rules of her people twice. The first was in the very invasion of the Imperium as she had willingly left her home without her people's knowledge. That in itself is a violation of their laws, even more so since one has to recall her mother is the Queen of her people. And the second was the fact that she had brought the male members of the League to help fight a dire threat on her homeland even if doing so was a major sin for any one of them to make. She and the others succeeded, but in exchange she was exiled from her homeland and never allowed to return."

Adam sighed at that and continued.

"No one should forget those facts and I can tell that Wonder Woman is doing all she can to try and make up for Aresia's crime even though she had neither prior knowledge of this or had taken any part in the planning and execution. And besides, I'm no saint either."

"What do you mean?"

He then spoke of the various hard choices he made in his career and fighting the Reapers. he had to choose between saving the Rachni and give them a chance to atone for the time they had been used as weapons by the Reapers without the knowledge of the other races, or wiping the last Queen out because of the past and end an entire race forever. He then spoke of the time he had to choose between leaving Ashley, someone who he loved very much to secure a powerful weapon tyo destroy an enemy base or to rescue Kaiden, a long time friend and brother in arms to save an entire team of alien commandos as well as him. he chose to save Kaiden and the others, losing Ashley who forgave him.

Then he spoke of his decision to save the Citadel Council in the Battle of the Citadel, leading to the loss of many Alliance ships and crews, ordering fellow humans to their deaths to save the Council. He also spoke of the time he had to choose between sparing Balak to save many hostages held by him and his forces as well as stop an asteroid from smashing into a colony or killing him and letting many hostages die. he told Lois and no doubt the League and the audience to come of the many hard choices he made that had various results.

He also spoke of how he had to choose between warning the Batarian colonists on Aratoh in the Bahak system to evacuate even if there was little time, or running and leaving the station and letting them die unaware of what was happening. In the end, he tried to warn them for even if they were Batarians, and who hated Humanity he was not going to let innocents die regardless of race, and yet they all died when the asteroid hit the Mass Relay.

"Millions and Batarians, men, women, children, and more died on that planet, on that system that day Miss Lane. I tried all i could to warn them, to tell them to get out in time before i made the choice to finish the mission to prevent the Reapers from coming in too early. I can justify what I did in so many ways, like saying their deaths were what stopped the Reapers from catching us unawares...but how does one justify letting so many die Miss Lane?"

"I was eventually facing a Batarian terrorist whose entire family died on Aratoh...and in that sense I was Aresia to them. They called me the Butcher of Aratoh and prior to their fall to the Reapers, all Batarians wanted my head. I spoke to him as he was kept alive on life support, stating that I had done all I could to try and prevent it...but in the end, I couldn't even begin to justify what I did. All he asked of me was if I truly was remorseful, then he would let him die to he could be with his family again."

"And what did you do?"

"I did as he asked. Like I said, I am no saint, I am not perfect, but I do what I can to make every action mean something for those left behind. I feel Wonder Woman deserves to do what she can to amend what Aresia has done. Give her that chance...just as Superman deserves a chance to redeem himself."

"I know of what happened to Superman when he was controlled by Darkseid and used to conquer Earth, which made people fear and even hate him. I know how hard he worked to try to make amends for what he did even if it was not truly him who did it all. The circumstances are different, but now Wonder Woman is in the same situation as Superman was."

"It will be a long and hard road, I can't predict if everyone will forgive what her people's teachings have done to this world and it is people because of Aresia, but one can only know if one does what one can. Everyone deserves a second chance...Superman believed in that very much, and thus so does Wonder Woman, give her a chance to redeem what the term Amazon means, and let only Aresia be the one to be seen as guilty and not the Amazons as a whole."

"Yes it was their teachings that made her do what she did, but do not condemn Wonder Woman and her people for what Aresia had done because of them. Everyone has the right to be angry for what Aresia, but to blame all the Amazons for this would in turn make you no different than Aresia who let her hatred blind her to the fact that not all men are evil. She saw all men as the same, and you all know what that led to...so if you view ALL Amazons as the same as Aresia...then the cycle will never end."

Adam sighed a bit then then spoke once more.

"That's all I have to say Miss Lane, you can always come here and speak to me if you so wish, and for whatever it is worth...I offer my condolences for your loss and also offer it to those who have lost many loved ones as well."

With that, Adam left, allowing the League and Lois to think over on what he had said.

Diana heard all that was said in the interview of how Adam made many sacrifices and tough decisions in his reality and unlike Aresia, he was justified in doing what he did, even though the decisions weren't necessarily good but rather necessary evils that soldiers often had to do in order to defend their country and people they were charged to protect. It also warmed Diana's heart to hear Adam's words about her and the Amazons and how they shouldn't be judged simply because of what one overzealous Amazon did following their teachings; Diana knew that she had much to do in order to redeem the name of the Amazons and hearing Adam's words gave the hope that she could redeem her people's honour.

Shayera also heard everything that was said in the interview. She had briefly thought that Adam would've acted like an arrogant pig because he was the only male human left alive on earth so that he had his pick of the women as it were but instead she was impressed that Adam did not like his situation at all, he said that he was a soldier trained to defend people and that being here, everyone would want to protect and pamper him like glass statue when he would rather be out in the battlefield than sitting on the sidelines being a spoilt child. And after hearing of the many tough decisions Adam had to make including massacring an entire alien species in order to prevent the reapers from attacking too early raised Shayera's respect for him a great deal; she too had hopes that her fiancé Hro Talak would not do anything rash when he and the Thanagarian army finally came to Earth.

…

The next few weeks for Adam Shepard was at a pace that made him feel a bit... relaxed, but bored as well. After the interview he had been given a room and began to set a bit of a routine for himself. He shared Jacob's views on the way the Alliance trained its troops and that being lazy was not in his genes. He did a number of laps to keep himself fit, lifting weights, squats and the like while also making sure to keep his CQC and weapon skills as high a level as he could handle.

Still, while it was nice to finally not have to worry about the Reapers, he was able to learn that the League had their own host of problem cases, super powered villains and whatnot, along with supernatural ones. If it hadn't been for the fact he had seen a LOT of things, apart from the Reapers and died... twice, he would have called magical beings and supernatural ones complete bull-crap of course seeing Zatanna use magic, ACTUAL magic if he recalled it right, made him change his mind.

As he got out of the shower room that was on the station, he wondered just what was he going to do with his unique situation... being the ONLY male on the whole station was a real test on his nerves since everyone else in this floating station were women. More than once when he tried to relax in his own way, he usually was caught off guard by the women. Thankfully nothing embarrassing was seen, but it did wear in on him. They were nice and having out with Felicity gave him a sense of normalcy... but even that was getting a bit stale.

Not that hanging out with the rest of the League was a bad thing, Shayera was interesting since she was a warrior and in this case, something of a leader of the League which was needed. She had the headstrong battle confidence that Jack had but none of the emotional baggage and was smart in combat. He could not help but feel a bit wary of her and while he could have ignored that, he kept it in his noggin for now, he was a soldier and his battle senses made him very keen on keeping an eye on anything and anyone that was making him feel wary.

Diana was pretty much reminding him of Miranda, with the looks department as she was undeniably beautiful in face and figure, only a blind man would miss that. But she had none of the cold veneer that his loved one had in the past. She was a bit stiff and a bit closed off but he suspected it had to do with the fact that she came from an all-female society. But she had a compassionate and loving side, which helped in balancing all her inherent power and abilities. She might not be a Biotic but she was someone would could really bring the fight to anyone he could think of. And her desire to redeem her people and her name was something he could respect.

Kara was the proverbial farmer's daughter with a grip like a vice he might add, but had a fiery nature and confidence one expected from someone her age. She had the confidence of youth but that was now tempered by the fact that with her cousin dead, she was the last Kryptonian left alive. She wants to uphold the legacy of her cousin and also make her own and he could respect that. Another thing he can respect was the fact that despite the way people viewed Diana, including Lois, Kara did not carry any hatred or animosity towards Diana and that was a good thing. Of course her attraction to him was a bit flattering though he was not sure yet how to take it since he was still getting used to this.

Batgirl or rather Barbara Gordon was an interesting person and a very brave woman considering she liked in Gotham City, which according to what he knew and learned of the place. She was saddened greatly at the loss of Bruce Wayne and so many others, most especially the death of her father. But apparently Bruce had some contingencies and had left a will giving assets and shares to her and the others in the Bat Clan if anything happened to him. And with him gone, she was now named heiress to the Wayne Family fortune and CEO to Wayne Enterprises. She decided to carry one as Batgirl to honour him and the others in the Bat family and despite the hard life she took she did it to help others. He could respect that well indeed and the looks helped in a sense.

Zatanna certainly gave the whole magical girl vibe a new life and light... coupled with her beauty, and costume choice. She was smart, capable, self-reliant, and also friendly and had a charm that added to the whole package. She had known Batman apparently and like Barbara was devastated by his loss. The fact she lost her father to the same disease created by Aresia only added to the whole deal and thus she was willing to work with the League to honour the man, though he had a feeling that there was more than merely friendship in the case of Zatanna to Batman.

Mari was a fashion model who had an amulet that granted her powers that imitated animals and she was no slouch in a fight as well. She might be a fashion model and this was not a usual gig, but she had heart when it counted. She also cared a great deal for others and while still somewhat new to this life, she took to it well and he had no doubt that she was going to do well.

Dinah Lance or Black Canary was a proverbial blonde bombshell in terms of her looks and given what she wore, it was easy to write her off as a ditzy blonde. But Dinah proved time and again that she was incredibly intelligent as well as a master martial artist having been trained in martial arts since she was a child and her signature Canary Cry could practically deafen anyone and even shred metal when pitched correctly.

Helena Bertinelli or Huntress was a dark beauty with her tan skin and dark hair which traits showing her Italian heritage and she was no slouch in a fight armed with a repeater crossbow, bo staff and martial art skills to back up her beauty and brains.

Karen Starr or Power Girl was interesting as Adam learned that she was from a parallel universe where she was Supergirl before ending up in this universe. Adam felt some kinship with the blonde powerhouse given that they were both from different universes in an entirely different one. Adam also noticed that Karen was very well formed in body and face but could tell that any man who looked at her breasts and not her face usually got slugged for that so he kept his eyes trained on her face whenever they talked with each other.

As for the results of the interview...only time would tell how things would turn out but right now he was eager to finally get something done before he was driven nuts. However, it was not long before Felicity contacted him on something important.

"Adam...you there?"

"Yeah, what's up Felicity?"

"Ummm...well, the interview with Lois went well enough, though there are still people who want to know more. But that's not what I called you for..."

"I get the feeling I am not going to like this...but what the heck. What is it?"

"Um...I just got word that a sperm bank is asking for you to...well...donate."

Adam glared at the screen and replied.

"Come again?"

"Look...you know what is going on Adam, and as much as we tried to put it off...there's no running from it this time. But don't worry, there a lot of security there so you won't have to worry about women trying to break in or anything. We can even ask the League to help you out in security."

"It's not keeping women out that bothers me Felicity, it's what the women already inside the facility are going to do to me if they get me alone."

Felicity couldn't help but blush at the insinuation and replied.

"That's something you might need to get used to do. Please don't take it wrong but this can't be delayed any longer."

Adam sighed and replied.

"Where?"

…

It took some time to get things organized but soon Adam and the League arrived covertly into the sperm bank...and thankfully no one was rioting...yet. Adam finally got the chance to go to a private room to do the deed as it were as he looked at the number of...cups he had to fill up. Thank God they were not trying to drain him dry, but damn it...this was a pain in the ass, though at least he had a room to himself.

"Well...might as well get this over with."

Adam decided to take off his armour as he needed to get comfortable, and that usually meant being naked...unaware of the fact that there were hidden cameras there that recorded him stripping down to his birthday suit. Apparently some of the staff decided to get a GOOD look at him naked since everyone wanted to see him out of his armour.

And now they got their wish, along with the League and Felicity as Adam Shepard was now fully naked...and boy was it a sight!

Felicity couldn't help but blush as she saw Adam naked for the first time and she subconsciously licked her lips when she saw his hard-packed muscles and some very naughty thoughts entered her brain when she saw the size of the man's manhood, she caught herself staring for far longer than usual, flushed with embarrassment and quickly left the room.

Diana couldn't help but stare at Adam while he was naked; she was relatively new to the sight of a naked man and could now see one of the appealing things about men that women went for. The Amazon blushed harder when she saw Adam's manhood and while a novice in matters of sexual education, she knew that Adam's manhood would be a sight when it would be fully erect.

Shayera couldn't help but smirk as she saw Adam naked; while she had an attraction to John and was engaged to Hro, she didn't feel any shame in staring at Adam while he was naked and almost wished she was in the room with him to help get him... 'comfortable' as it were.

Mari had seen many male models in her day to day life as a model and she could certainly see the appeal of Adam; while he wasn't a male model, he could certainly give many a run for their money with a body like his and she smirked as she saw Adam's manhood and knew it would be quite a sight when fully erect.

Kara couldn't help but stare shamelessly at the sight of Adam naked, if she was staring any harder, she'd be using her heat vision and she blushed hard at the sight of Adam's manhood; it was her first time seeing a man's penis and she was no expert on these matters but seeing the length of the man's cock she could tell it was a good size as it were and would be even better when fully erect.

Zatanna couldn't help but blush hard and smirk wickedly as she started getting some interesting thoughts inside her mind as she saw Adam naked as well as the sight of his manhood; he almost reminded her of Bruce whenever Bruce worked out without his shirt on and the rare times she saw him naked when he thought she wasn't looking.

The women in the sperm bank couldn't help but blush as they saw Adam naked and wished that they were in the room with him the man to get him 'comfortable' and hopefully more.

While outside the sperm bank, a group of women had managed to hack into the security cameras and were now getting a free show as they saw Adam naked for the first time and many of them wished to be in the room with Adam and 'help' him out.

It took some time but now the cups were filled and he was dressed again in full N7 Armor, though he had to keep in mind he might need to test his powers and see if he could make more gear to use. The cups were placed on a tray and soon he sighed and hoped that he could finally take a break from this and find somewhere to relax and get a meal. But as he got out, he swore he was being stared at more than usual by the security and staff of the sperm bank...sure the whole strip him naked with their eyes he could understand...but now they looked like they were REALLY getting into the finer details as it were.

He faced the head of the bank and gave the tray to her.

"Here you go doctor."

The woman blushed a bit and smiled.

"Thank you, this is a start... though we are going to need more of this since you are pretty much the only man around."

Adam groaned and replied.

"Don't remind me Doc, but please I'm not some unlimited fountain here, even I need a break."

"Yes, we know...another meeting after two weeks?"

Adam nodded and soon the tray was taken away and treated like it was carrying water from the Fountain of Youth. He shook his head at this and decided to go and see the rest of the League and figure out on how to get to the Watch Tower without being mobbed by the women outside on the off chance they spotted him. Still he couldn't help but wonder just what was going on with the women, even more so when he was in front of the League and Felicity as well since they were looking at him way too much.

"All right...what the hell is going on here?"

Felicity tried assure him that everything was fine, but he wasn't buying it.

"Felicity, I know when people are lying to me remember? And like I said, you are terrible liar. Please, tell me why is it that everyone here, including you I might add are looking at him as if I'm a walking five-star meal you want to eat. This is really creeping me out right now."

"Well… apparently that private room wasn't so private."

It took a mere nano-second for Adam to process what THAT meant and when he did he blushed and pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke.

"Okay... so basically everyone here including you and the League saw me buck naked, was privacy outdated in this day and age when I wasn't looking? How did this happen and why wasn't I informed about this?"

"The staff actually cooked that up, we only found out after the fact."

Mari said with some effort as her eyes were roaming Adam's form... that however did not escape Adam's notice and he sighed once more while rubbing his forehead this time around. But he decided to at least make an attempt to lighten the situation since he had to admit that this was bound to happen at some point and at least they did not try to gas him and ravish him while he was in the room... that was something which would have felt like an utter violation of his privacy.

"Well, can I at least ask if you liked what you saw?"

"Yes!"

Every woman said without hesitation, but then all of them blushed, with Shayera smirking even more, which made Adam sigh again.

"Great, now I'm a porn star...sheesh, as if that defective VI of me was not enough. Look, I'm willing to wager a guess that it will not be long before that is shown all over the world by who knows who. So can we leave and spare me the headaches of resisting requests to strip?"

The women nodded but all were blushing either way as they boarded the Javelin.

...

True to Shepard's worries the video of him being buck naked in the sperm bank had just been posted on Youtube, and even featured on the news of all things... apparently the fact that he was the only male alive on this version of Earth was enough excuse to place him naked on the news. And already there were HUNDREDS of requests from women on every corner of the world to get their hands on him. Every channel was now dedicated to showing him in ALL of his naked glory and when his manhood was at full mast it was in the natural length of at least 10 in full.

He was annoyed to the extreme even more so when it was revealed that the video of him in Youtube at over twenty million likes and counting. And that was only the tip of the iceberg as the people who sent them were sending all manner of perverted comments and desires and whatnot.

"Great...I'm really in the hot sauce now. Gods I need a shower."

With that, Adam headed off to the one shower where he was billeted. It had been weeks since the trip to the sperm bank and at least prior to this, he had time to test his powers, and saw that he could recreate all of his weapons, and gear, even his tools when he had enough material close on hand to use as the baseline. Only thing he could not do yet was build ships and the like. But that was the furthest from his mind as he quickly moved into the shower and took off his clothing and turned it on to finally have a cold shower to put an end to the images that flew around in his brain.

He was so distracted by the need to cool off and get his mind off of the images he had to deal with while being in the station that he had no idea that the door to the shower was opened and someone snuck into the place without him hearing anything. But when he turned around to wash up his back and get some of the soap suds off his back...he saw...

"Hello there Adam, don't mind if I join you?"

Adam blinked as he saw Dinah Lance standing there watching him with an amused smile on her lips as her eyes raked his naked form.

"Ms Lance? Mind if I ask why you're in here bothering me?" Adam gritted through his teeth as he fought the urge to cover his modesty yet some part of him told him that the whole world had more or less seen him naked so there was no point hiding it anymore and to just let the blonde siren see him au naturel.

"I noticed that you were stressed after today's events" Dinah replied as she managed to keep her eyes trained on his "I thought I could help you relax" she said with a disarming smile.

"Trust me, you're going about it the wrong way" Adam said to her which made Dinah blink in surprise and say "Most guys I know would jump at a chance like this" she said feeling a bit put off by Adam's rejection.

"I told Lois this before, I'm not most guys" Adam replied "I'm not the kind of man who goes around sleeping with every woman he meets because he thinks he's God's gift to women" he said "Part of growing up, Ms Lance, is taking on board the fact that not every woman thinks you're sex on a stick" he added "That's what separates the boys from the men" he then said.

Dinah had to admit that what Adam said was very mature and true; not every woman would think he was sex on a stick and she said "I can't argue with that logic, but right now every woman on the planet thinks you are sex on a stick" she said.

"That's comforting" Adam muttered as he turned off the water and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around his middle to cover his lower half.

"I don't see why you deny yourself this" Dinah said "There's nothing wrong with having a little fun" she added.

"I'm not sleeping with you Ms Lance" Adam said to her "Why not?" Dinah asked as she reached out to touch him on the shoulder which made shy away from contact and reply

"Oh I want to alright" he replied "I'm just not going to!" he said.

Dinah looked at the man in confusion; why not take something that was on offer for free? "Is this some sort of life lesson?" she asked.

"Welcome to the real world" Adam said to her before he left to get dressed in his armour again.

"I don't give up easily" Dinah called out to his retreating back. Adam felt Dinah's silky threat zip all the way to his groin before replying "I'll consider myself warned ma'am" he replied before quickly leaving the room to get dressed in his armour before Dinah could give chase.

Dinah Lance's action was only the tip of the proverbial iceberg for Adam as the first Human Spectre had to deal with a TON of attempts by the women on the Watch Tower in the League. Like she said the blonde bombshell of a Meta-human martial artist was not giving up so easily after the whole shower incident and it was a test of his resolve since she was a drop dead gorgeous woman. The next incident involved none other than Zatanna who had snuck into his room and doing tidying up the place, even if by all rights he was not a messy person.

He was counting himself lucky that she was at least not wearing the proverbial french maid outfit, only problem was her stage outfit and uniform was all she needed to wear. It took some effort for him to gently extract himself from that mess without acting like an ass in front of her. And like Dinah she was not going to give up...if the wink and flying kiss that she gave him was any indication.

Soon it was Kara who had taken a more...direct approach and that involved the use of a hot meal that he had to fight tooth and nail to refuse since she was cooking the meal in an apron...and not much else. he had a sneaking suspicion that she took the saying the best way to a man's heart was through his stomach a little too freely. Then again, the meal was very good and he felt like he had just denied himself two meals. The ONLY good thing he could think of at the time was that she at least did not give the dreaded sad puppy dog eyes treatment on him. N7 or not he would have caved on that since she did look very adorable yet sexy if she did...two words that would have been nigh impossible to put on the same sentence.

Of course she was not the only one since when he had gone to training in the CQC gym, it was Mari who decided to pop in and say hi...while wearing only a pair of sports underwear and her amulet. She was pretty tough, more than enough to pass for N6 training but the fact that she made sure she was in CLOSE contact with him at all times made it hard to focus, especially with her boobs right in front of his face. The pheromones she was excluding from herself only added to the whole thing. It took a TON of control for him NOT to give into her wiles and powers but he did.

Karen was next on the list when she offered to help Adam clean his weapons and armour and Adam swore that she almost deliberately spilled oil on herself as an excuse to strip off most of her costume so that she was wearing nothing much more than a bra with her cape wrapped around her waist. Adam had to quickly remove himself from the room to calm himself down.

They were so far the ones who had pretty much been the most determined, though he did wonder why Diana and Shayera were not chasing him...yet. He had a feeling that they would make their move soon enough but he also wondered just WHAT they were going to try, Felicity was not among them yet and right now he was pleased that at least he was not going to be chased by them just yet. Right now though he was currently working on modifying his newly constructed Kestrel Armor. He had been given this thanks to Miranda back when they were fighting the Collectors and after he had helped in saving her sister/clone Orianna and while he had plenty of new armour this was...of value not merely for what he could use it for, but also for the connection he felt.

It was here that Barbara showed up, wearing her now modified Bat-suit minus the cowl and she seemed to be bone tired.

"Rough night?"

Barbara nodded and sat down and buried her face into her hands, Adam sighed a bit and walked over to her and sat down. He could tell that she was really out of it and decided to help her by massaging the shoulders...making the redhead moan out.

"Ooooh...thanks...I had no idea I was this beat up."

"Care to tell me what happened?"

"Harley...ever since Joker died she stepped up her crime spree, only thing I can be thankful for is that she's not the same level. I guess I can say that the ONE good thing this whole disease. But losing Batman...I always ask myself how he handled it..."

"You know you do have help from Huntress and I can bet you can recruit some others too."

"Yeah...but right now...I just need a break. It's...lonely sometimes."

Adam nodded a bit and soon after massaging the redhead's shoulders and neck decided to grab some drinks and gave it to Barbara and he spoke.

"Yeah...I know..."

"I should ask...how come you don't..."

"Ask one of the ladies out for a romp? No...I'm not that kind of person, I said that to Lois and I mean it too. I'm not some guy who is just going to sleep with any woman with the idea that I am a gift to women everywhere. That's just nuts and a reason for all things to go to hell. Besides...I'm more of the kind of guy who WANTS to know the woman more that I am going to be close to, call me old fashioned and whatnot, but I want to know a woman for who she is and not just for her looks, body, breasts, and sex...that's just plain sexist and I despise that."

"You know...most guys would call you a prude or something if they heard that."

"Better a prude than a playboy who takes advantage of women. I'd be a liar to say I am NOT tempted or anything, but I am just not going to do that for fun no matter how tempted I am."

"Just how tempted are you then?"

Adam raised an eyebrow right now and replied.

"How would you feel if you were in MY place but you're the last woman on Earth and everyone else are all men on this station? I just had Dinah walk in on me in the shower a while back. Zatanna cleaning my room and doing all sorts of very interesting poses, Kara cooking a meal for me in an apron and not much else. And just recently I had Mari fighting me in CQC with only her undies and shooting enough pheromones into my nose to knock out even a Thresher Maw. Karen helping me clean my weapons and armour and deliberately spilling oil on herself so she could take her costume off in front of me. I've taken so many cold showers that by all rights I should have frostbite by now."

"The temptations are SO strong it's a wonder to me that I haven't been targeted by the others here in the League..."

"Including me?"

Adam said nothing but nodded.

"Yeah I guess...look I AM VERY TEMPTED...Hell most guys would indeed call me a foolish for saying no, but I do have my reasons."

"But you do realize that you being the only man in the world kind of makes what your doing...oh I don't know...detrimental to the survival of the species?"

The spectre groaned at that and replied.

"And if I do get a woman pregnant or more than one...how do you think others would feel about it? I'm walking on freaking eggshells for crying out loud. Simply because if I DO get it on with any one woman and others find out about it...then I smell trouble with a capital T. Even more so if said women happen to be super powered. Get what I mean so far?"

"I suppose I do...still you know that sooner or later things will get to a head and my colleagues will try...more direct methods?"

"Yeah, I do, and my self-control is already as thin as melting ice in front of a plasma torch as it is. All I can hope for is that if and when I do get into sleeping with a woman, is that it is not going to come back to bite us both in the ass. And if I do get her with child, then I will have to man up and take responsibility and be a father...just the idea though of being a literal father to the new Human race though is a LOT to take in."

With that, he left but Barbara then spoke.

"Then get ready because I get the feeling that the others will only ramp it up."

"Right..."

In the cafeteria, the Justice League members minus Batgirl were sitting around the table playing a round of cards and they were also discussing on how far they had progressed in each of their relationship with Adam.

"You seriously walked in on him when he was in the shower?" Shayera asked Dinah who nodded in reply and said "yeah, I got a front row seat to the whole shebang" she said as she dealt another round of cards "Problem was that Adam kinda said no and left in a hurry" she added grumpily.

"Can't imagine why" Helena remarked "If I were a guy I'd be all over you" she said to the blonde who smiled in response and said "Thanks... I think" she said.

"I didn't have much luck either" Kara bemoaned "I cooked him a nice meal while wearing just an apron!" she whined "And he politely refused me" she said "what's wrong with me?" she asked out loud.

"Don't worry, Kara, I didn't have much luck either" Mari said to the young blonde "I sparred with him in the gym wearing just a sports bra and underwear" she said "Plus I used my powers to put some pheromones in the air" she added.

"Did it work?" Shayera asked. Mari shook her head in response and replied "I could tell he wanted to, but he didn't do a thing" she said "And I was grinding against him like a cat in heat" she added.

"I tried my luck as well" Karen said "I was helping Adam clean his weapons and armour and I deliberately spilled some oil on my costume so that I could take it off in front of him but he just left the room" she whined.

"I tried a little cleaning in his room" Zatanna said "Plus I was doing some interesting poses to boot" she added "Adam acted like a gentleman the whole time, which was kinda sweet but not really what I wanted" she then said.

"Maybe you're all going about this the wrong way" Shayera said and the girls looked at the redhead who elaborated "Think about what he said to Lois during his interview, he doesn't want to go around sleeping with every woman he comes across just because he's the proverbial God's gift to women on earth, he's too honourable for that" she explained "And it seems to me like he's the kinda guy who wants to get to know a woman before getting into their pants and would want to be with a woman for more than just her body or sex" she said "So the way I see it, you all might wanna tone it down and get to know the guy instead of trying to get his attention the way you've all been trying" she advised.

Everyone looked at Shayera in amazement and Zatanna then asked "Since when do you know so much about courting a man?" she asked incredulously.

"I've had some experience" Shayera replied smiling before showing her hand "Royal flush" she said smugly "Winner, winner, chicken dinner as they say" she added with a smug smile.

The other girls threw their cards down in defeat and handed over their winnings to the Thanagarian woman who pocketed the cash and prepared to leave but not before saying to the girls "If you all want to be serious with Adam, then you'll take it slow with him instead of being so direct with him" she said "He's not like most guys, so take it slow with him" she added before leaving the cafeteria.

To be continued…

…

A/N: Well there it is everyone, the first chapter of Freedom Guard's Justice League of Amazons: Mass Effect story that he wrote with my help. Now for those of you who are going to ask, I don't know that much about Mass Effect as I'm only copying and pasting what Freedom shared with me, so when I do share all the scenes Freedom wrote, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue it but we'll see.

Anyway, that's the first chapter done and dusted and hopefully the second chapter will be up soon, depending on how many reviews this chapter gets so hopefully you'll see the second chapter soon.
