Chapter One

The Justice League relocated

CRASH!

The green and black costumed body of John Stewart, a.k.a The Green Lantern, was slammed right into the front window shield of a red Mustang parked along the street of Fifth Avenue in New York. The reason why he was thrown with such a great force came slowly down in a gently controlled descent from above and landed upon his feet perfectly with arms crossed over his broad chest covered in mocking costume similar to that of Green Lantern's. Lantern shook his head to clear the daze that the crash had given him before getting up off the car hood entirely and setting foot upon the street.

"What's the matter Lantern?" the red skinned man asked while laughing as he pointed mockery at the super hero. "Having some problems?" he sneered while holding out his right hand that was closed and adorned with a yellow ring on his ring-finger.

Green Lantern stared at the man with a hard and angry look written across his face. The comments didn't bother him in the least, but the fact that the guy had actually gotten such a good hit in on him, now that bothered him. "Hardly." He answered in a gruff voice while holding up his hand in the same manner only with a green ring adorning his ring-finger instead of a yellow one. With just a mere thought of his mind as a signaled command to the ring he wore, Green Lantern sent out a beam of green energy from the ring just as the red skinned man did at the exact same time. The yellow beam from the opposite ring clashed with the green one as they met right in the middle of the gap set between the two men. The collision of both energies sent a small shock wave across the empty street that had been vacated of pedestrians as soon as the fight had started. The shock wave was more of a wind-like affect as it pushed out and scattered whatever wasn't secured to the ground.

Not that far from the on going battle between the Green Lantern and Sinestro, another fight between a member of the Justice League and a villain raged on as well. The Flash was able to clock Shade in the jaw with a hard right and knocked the elderly looking man off his feet. Flash stood over him with his hands on his waist and a cocky smirk crossing his face. "Give up?" he asked in teasing gesture to the fallen Shade.

"I don't believe so." Shade replied with a smug look of his own as he pointed his cane at the red and gold costumed hero, catching him off guard with a blast of shadow from the cane's head.

Flash was knocked backwards into a blue postal drop box on the sidewalk, crushing the metal container inwards as his body impacted with a hard blow. Groaning at the sudden wave of pain that filtered through his well built lean body, Flash rubbed the side of his head as it had managed to whip backwards after the initial hit and catch the metal container as well in a whiplash effect. Shade had recovered from the earlier punch that The Flash had given him and was once again up on his feet and twirled his cane once in his hand before pointing the head in Flash's direction. A release of shadow was leeched out and encircled the downed hero roping him up in a false rope that held just as well. Shade grinned wickedly as he approached and increased the hold of the tightening shadow manipulation.

"Well, well, looks like I've grounded the fast man alive." Shade cackled as the Flash grimaced and struggled to get free of the constricting bound about him. "Too bad for you there's none of the other Justice League members around to help you." He grinned broadly.

"Think again!" a female voice called out as a heavy right hook struck Shade from the side and knocked the villain some good twenty feet away from where he had been and caused him to also loose his cane. The female who had delivered the attack landed just before the Flash and offered down a white gloved hand to him. "You okay there red?" she asked as the older hero took a hold of her offered hand and was then pulled up to his feet with such ease it was almost ridiculous.

"Yeah." He replied while letting go of her hand and rubbing his upper bicep. "Thanks Little S." he grinned teasingly at her as her blue eyes suddenly narrowed on him in response to the nick name he used. "Ah come on Super Girl!" he protested while holding his hands up in his own defense. "It's only fair. I mean the big guy is well, bigger than you and your senior." Flash protested in hopes of not having the Girl of Steel angry at him for too long.

"Whatever." Super Girl muttered while rolling her eyes and looking in the direction that Shade had been punched into. Her blue orbs went a bit wide as she was caught off guard and was slammed directly in the chest with a black car that held a white outline of sorts.

"S!" Flash shouted as he watched the young heroine disappear for a moment behind the hurtled vehicle and then was a bit relieved when the car came to a stop suddenly and lost its black shading as it returned to its normal paint job. It just hung there in mid-air before being dropped and an angry blonde haired blue eyed Kryptonian youth looking over it at the elderly-like man dressed all in black with a top hat and shades. Oh yeah, he is so in trouble now. Flash mused while somewhat cringing at the conjured images he could imagine as Super Girl came flying over the car fast and with right fist cocked back ready to be thrown.

Shade pointed his staff at the young hero and dispelled a large amount of shadow in attempt to protect himself from the oncoming wrath of an inhumanly strong teen. Super Girl was met halfway with a wall of shadow that she threw her readied punch and broke through just as if she had just punched a pane of glass. With a speed near that of the Flash's, she was up in Shade's face holding him by the collar of his suit and held him some three feet off the ground with a punch ready to be thrown at him again. "Can't we talk about this?" he asked in desperation to save himself from some serious hurt.

"Not a chance." She seethed through clenched teeth and then dropped the villain and tossed her blow. Her gloved fist connected with his bare cheek and sent him right into the front window of a shop on the sidewalk. "Jackass!" Super Girl spat while dusting her white gloved hands and staring with a heated glare at the crumpled man in the broken display that had been several mannequins posing new clothes.

Flash came up beside the heroine in his usually fast speed and eyed the unconscious Shade before them. "Well, I think he learned his lesson." He mused sarcastically and then glanced over at the blonde beside him who now had her hands on her hips. "You feeling okay today there S?" he asked while quirking an eyebrow under his near full-faced mask.

Super Girl looked up at the tall man beside her and lost some of the glare she still had in her eyes. "Yeah. Why?" she asked a tad on the curious side but also knowing a little as to why he had asked her such a question.

"Hm, no reason." He concluded while giving her a bit of a playful grin.

Super Girl just shook her head and rolled her eyes at him while starting forward to round up the unconscious villain and hand him off to the nearest group of cops that had started to arrive on the scene. Flash started after her but was suddenly whipped about as an explosion caught his attention. Both he and Super Girl looked over to where they knew GL was fighting Sinestro a few blocks over. The two super heroes looked at each other and in silent agreement they both took off. Flash disappeared in a blurred streak of red and gold as Super Girl took to the air after taking a running jump after him. Both Justice League members arrived on the scene to see Green Lantern trying desperately to keep a shield up with his ring as a huge black hole was sucking in random objects from either side of it.

Sinestro was doing the same and having just as hard a time as GL from the other side. When Flash arrived and stopped near Lantern he was immediately grabbed by the massive suction of the hole and started to quickly back pedal with all his speed to keep himself out of the hole and next to Lantern. "Yo! What the hell is going on GL?" he shouted above the roar the hole was creating.

Green Lantern looked over at Flash and held a rather agitated look on his face that hid an underlying worry for his often at times irritating friend. "Flash, get behind my shield before you're sucked into that thing!" Lantern shouted with his all too trademark gruff voice.

Flash complied and zipped over behind the struggling shield of Lantern. "Hey Super Girl is on her way over here right –"

"Whoa! What the hell happened here!" Super Girl landed just behind the two adult men and stared out from behind them at the black hole that was now devouring a mini van.

"Super Girl's here." Flash finished as he had been interrupted and looked at GL with a bit of a musing look that didn't fly with the black man who replied to this with a rather hot glare before returning his attention on the concentration of keeping the shield up.

Green Lantern focused harder and managed to add more strength to his shield before he could explain to the other two super heroes what had happened and what needed to be done in order to stop it before the entire Fifth Avenue was sucked in through two ways. "Somehow the two different energies that our rings use ripped a hole while Sinestro and I were fighting it out. If that thing doesn't somehow close we're going to be sucked in along with almost all of the greater Manhattan area!" he shouted over the increasing roar of the hole's suction rate.

Super Girl and Flash exchanged looks to one another and then in unison asked one question – "How!"

GL groaned mentally at how much the two were acting like each other even more so than ever. Goddamit, look at what he's done to Super Mans' cousin! Good lord it's no wonder that she hasn't started cracking smartass remarks every ten seconds yet. Narrowing his eyes at the mere thought of another personality like Flash's running around in the JLA Tower made him cringe but then was forgotten as his shield started to weaken again and drag all three slowly towards the gaping mouth in the middle of the now pretty much cleared street. Windows all around were popping with the dangerous shards flying down in a hail of razor sharp daggers towards everyone. Super Girl noticed this as soon as she heard the shattering panes finally give. Her slender brows shot up in near horror.

Like her cousin, she was invulnerable to literally any physical harm. Bullets would just ricochet off her chest or any other body part for that manner, hand held weapons of any sort would just break upon contact with her body, and even elements never bothered her. So it was safe to say she would be fine with pieces of glass flying at them but GL and Flash wouldn't be and GL was already busy with keeping them from being sucked into a hole that led to God only knows where. In a instant and acting on total instinct, Super Girl placed herself the best she could so that she acted as a back shield for her two comrades and began deflecting what she could with the incredible speed she was naturally born with. Flash suddenly winced as something bit its way across his bicep in a horizontal fashion. Looking down at the area of in which the pain was ebbing from he raised a curious brow to see that the material of his costume had been cut clean and a thin line of blood was starting to appear.

That was when he finally noticed the sounds of breaking glass and small grunts from behind him and GL. Super Girl was punching away at large and small pieces of flying glass the best she could in an attempt to protect him and Lantern from a razor sharp death. Looking back over at Lantern, Flash shouted out to him. "Hey! We need to hurry up and come up with a plan or Little S isn't going to be able to keep up with the glassy doom that's coming at us from behind!"

Green Lantern looked over his shoulder in a quick glance to see what Flash was shouting about now. For a moment he watched as the teen punched away at flying glass and was using herself as a shield for them. Keep it up kiddo, just a bit longer. He reached out in his thoughts to encourage the young Kryptonian while returning his focus on the shield that was no loosing its strength faster now. "It's not gonna hold much longer." He stated in a rather smooth tone of voice that was just ever so slightly tinted with panic.

Flash's eyes grew wide at this and looked over at the gaping hole. Did I just hear someone scream or…? Flash looked out a bit from behind the shield trying to see over at the other side of the hole. Yep, he was right. Sinestro' s shield had lost its power and now the super villain was being sucked into the hole. "Hey we lost Sinestro!" Flash shouted over at GL and to Super Girl.

Both looked over at Flash and held startled looks. It was at that moment that all three super heroes were caught off guard when a huge piece of building came hurtling towards them as it had been snapped off by the suction power of the black hole. Super Girl was hit first and then was shoved along with two men straight for the hole. Green Lantern had lost his focus on the shield and dropped it, Flash was unable to pick up speed and start running, and Super Girl was unable to fight back against both the black hole and the piece of building. The black hole had finally claimed all three JLA members and after closed up as if that was all it really took.

Smallville High was just beginning to let out as the bell had rung at precisely two o'clock on the dot. Most of the students were pouring out the front doors and headed for either the buses or their own mode of transportation. For once (in a blue moon) Clark wasn't being dragged by his friend Chloe to the Torch room and going over articles that either needed deciding on or were pending. However, he was stopped just after leaving the doors by his friend Pete who had called out for him. Clark turned around and smiled as his friend came running towards him with his back pack bouncing with every stride.

"Hey man, thanks for waiting." Pete greeted a little out of breath as he stopped in front of Clark and tried to catch what breath he had lost.

"No problem." Clark returned with a smile and waited for him to finish inhaling new oxygen.

Pete finally caught his breath and gave Clark a rather goofy grin while adjusting the straps of his pack. "So, Chloe actually letting you escape today, uh?" he asked as they started walking towards the student parking lot where Clark's truck was parked in.

Clark gave a small laugh while nodding in reply to Pete's poking fun. "Yeah she is."

Both boys piled themselves into Clark's pick-up truck and drove into town. More precisely they were headed for the Talon where they could almost always be found hanging out along with Chloe and Lana at times. They arrived at the favorite hangout for most of the teens in Smallville and were able to catch a seat on the couches on the backside of the room after having placed their order at the counter. Dumping their backpacks at their feet the two boys started in on a conversation about up-coming events at school and what homework had been dumped on them for the weekend. Their orders arrived shortly after and were set on the coffee table at the center of gathering of couches.

As the inside buzz of the Talon continued, the world outside of it was a different story.

Seemingly out of no where a huge gap was literally ripped open in the sky and dumped out three JLA members that had been sucked up by the black hole in the first place. Green Lantern and Super Girl caught themselves in mid-air as they had the ability to fly. However, it was Flash who was caught by the arm as Super Girl kept him from becoming personal friend with the street some six stories below them. As soon as they had been spat out of the hole, the dark void closed again as if satisfied with where it had placed the three heroes. Lantern indicated with a point of his finger for Super Girl to follow him over to the nearest roof. All three touched down on a flat brick roof that belonged to a building of a town they were unfamiliar with. Flash zipped over to the side and glanced over. They were on the top of a third floor in what appeared to be a town out in the sticks somewhere.

"Wow, I'd say we're not in Kansas any more but from the looks of it it's like we're smack dap in the middle of it." Flash pointed out while looking back at his two friends.

Lantern was staring off into the distance towards more of the town while Super Girl was just looking about her own surroundings for the moment. "Where are we?" she asked, voicing the question all three had in mind at that time.

Before they could even think to try and answer the thousands of questions forming in their heads all three heroes found their attention being pulled to a major commotion down on the street below them. Green Lantern and Super Girl found themselves over at the roof's edge with Flash looking down to see what was going on. GL's brow eyes narrowed suddenly and turned a solid jade green with his lantern powers. "Sinestro!" he stated through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, just our luck that we get placed in the same are he's at." Flash commented while crossing his arms over his chest at the same time and shaking his head.

Super Girl glanced over at him and had a bit of grin on her face. Green Lantern took the initiative and gave their first order as a trio team-up. "Alright, let's get down there and stop him before anyone gets hurt!"

Flash and Super Girl nodded in agreement to this. All three departed from the roof top and headed down to the street in their own separate ways. Flash took off at lightning speed while Green Lantern activated his ring powers and took to the air and headed down after him. Super Girl made a movement as if she were about to jump into the air but lifted off and flew down to help out as well passing both adults up and taking the lead as she was the somewhat replacement for her cousin in his absence.

Down on the street people were screaming and running for their lives as yellow beams were shot out at random cars and blew them into a fiery explosion that shook the ground as each one came right after the other. All this was coming down the street towards the Talon where in which those inside were getting up from their seats to see what was going on through the front windows of the coffee house. Something they would regret as a car came rolling right for the huge glass pane and crashed right through. Clark was up on his feet but seemed to late…or was it? Both he and Pete stared dumbstruck with everyone else as the car was glowing with a green light wrapped around it and all the broken glass. With opened mouths they watched as the car was retracted out the broken window along with the broken shards. On cue to this everyone in the Talon rushed for the window and stared in awe as the car was put aside gently and lost the green light that was about it.

Clark was the most stunned one of all as he first thought the green light was something to do with green kryptonite and was proven wrong as he and Pete stared at a man of African American decent hovering two feet off the street dressed in green and black one piece outfit with a shield at the front holding a white field and a green lantern shape at the center. The guy's eyes were glowing with a green light as he nodded at the people in the coffee house. Everyone just continued to stare in shock as he then flew off down the street with a rather mean look on his face now. Clark and Pete exchanged glances with one another and then ran out the front door and right into the street. They skidded to a halt as another explosion rocked the street and the same guy came flying back to where they were but not by choice. He slammed back first into the side of a parked car and look like he was going to be out for a moment or two.

As they stared at the downed guy their line of sight was blurred for a moment as a streak of red and gold passed by in just mere seconds and the was gone. The two did a double take as they stared down the street to where they figured the streak had gone in, and they were right. A sound that was near close to tires coming to a screeching halt sounded and they stared with an even larger expression of shock as they stared at a tall lean man dressed primarily all in red with gold adornments to his attire. The guy looked left then right and then looked forward to watch as a guy dressed in attire similar to the guy in black and green walk out of the smoke and flames of burning cars. This guy was a total oddity to everyone who was watching and or running for their lives. He had pointed ears like some sort of elf and his skin tone was a complete red.

"What the heck is going on?" Pete murmured as he looked back down at the guy who was still sitting propped up against the car.

Clark shook his head in the same confusion he was feeling and just watched as the guy in red became a blur as he took off running for the guy in blue and black leathers. A whirlwind of red suddenly washed up around the odd looking man and had him for some time distracted until he held out his right hand, fist closed, and emitted some sort of yellow beam from it. The guy dressed in red was suddenly flung off to he side as he had been hit with the beam. The red skinned man laughed and appeared to say something to the fallen guy while walking over to him and picking him up from the front of his suit. Cocking back a fist he then slugged the red masked man across the face and allowed him to drop to the ground. Clark could feel his blood boiling within him now for some unknown reason. Was it because it just wasn't right to see two guys trying to stop this insane freak and end up swatted down and unconscious? Or was it something more that he just couldn't explain at that moment?

Whatever it was it was causing him to clench his fists at his sides, causing the knuckles to turn white. As everyone continued to watch the bizarre events out in the street they gasped as the red skinned man in black looked down the street and gave a rather cruel grin before pointing his closed hand at a near by car that had yet to be destroyed. A yellow light enveloped the car and picked it up off the ground like it was nothing and then had it tossed straight for Clark and Pete. Both teens were frozen on the spot as the car came flying right for them. Clark couldn't risk using his own powers to save both himself and Pete for fear exposing them to the entire city that was watching. So instead, both boys hit the ground in a crouch and on total instinct just tried to make themselves as small as possible. For a moment everything was quiet except for the low groaning creak of metal. Clark was the first to open his eyes and take a peek as to why they hadn't been hit by the car.

"Oh my god." Pete murmured beside him as he too had opened his own eyes and stared up a sight that was clearly unbelievable.

Standing in front of the two boys with back turned was a blonde girl holding her arms straight out in front of her holding the car back from hitting them. Clark stood to his feet and just stared at the back of the girl's head. He clearly had a good few inches on her, but the thing was startling to him was the way she was seemingly dressed. White gloves, a denim mini skirt, fire engine red boots that came up to just below her knees, a white shirt with sleeves ending at the elbows with a black rimming, and most of all a fire engine red cape on her back that came down to her knees in length. What in the world? His own thoughts ended there as he watched in total shock as the girl shifted the way she stood while also picking up the car with both her hands digging into the roof of the car as she did. In what could only describe as total ease and unbelievable strength that was just inhuman to say the least, the girl hoisted the car up above her head and with a small grunt threw it like some sort of beach ball right back at the red skinned man who was staring in total shock at her like everyone else. As the car streaked towards the guy like some sort of missile, that's when the cops pulled up in a flurry of screeches and sirens. As soon as the brakes were hit and thrown into park the doors opened and the piled out with weapons drawn all aimed at the red skinned man in the street and the apparently the girl as well. The car was near slamming into the red guy head on until he used his hand again to emit the yellow light and stop the car just before it hit him.

Seeing this the girl gave no second thought to the shouted orders of the police as she made a running step and then just suddenly flew across the street with her feet off the ground at a good five feet. She had her right arm cocked back and the hand balled into a fist. The speed in which she reached the guy was unreal as she then threw her punch and broke through the yellow field about the car and drove into the car itself. The guy on the other side was knocked off his feet and hit by the car. Both rolled and then stopped some ten feet from where they had been. The girl touched down on the ground and watched as the car came to a halt and just laid on its back. The cops again shouted for her to put her hands up, but she wasn't even listening as she just continued to stare and watch the overturned car she had personally thrown. Clark watched in just total awe of this person who was exhibiting the same sort of super strength he had, and maybe even more as she seemed to be complete and total control of it unlike himself. Who the heck is she? She's amazing! Clark thought as he just watched along with everyone else.

"I REPEAT! PUT YOUR HANDS UP AN DTURN AROUND SLOWLY!" the officer shouted through a bullhorn for what seemed like the tenth time already since arriving on the scene. He and the others hadn't been there to see the car being thrown but they had watched as the unexplainable events happened with a blonde woman flying five feet off the ground and punching a hole through the metal hull of a car.

It was then that the girl looked over her shoulder, revealing her face to everyone behind her for the first time. She was, well, really pretty and a teenager by the looks of it. A pair of royal blue eyes stared at them framed with dark lashes as they were set within an oval shaped face that seemed rather full and not so super model like with high cheek bones. Clark's jaw dropped as he stared an almost mirror image of himself aside from the whole blonde hair and female body aspect of it all. Pete looked between his friend and the girl in the street in what seemed like over a dozen times as he couldn't believe what he was seeing either. A sudden rumbling broke the weird pause of silence to end as the car suddenly was flipped up into the air towards the Talon from an unseen force. The girl's eyes went wide as she saw this and followed after the car. Just as it was about to smash into the building a green light beam hit it and then enveloped it like before and halted both the advancement of the projectile like weapon and the girl. All eyes were turned on the black man who had apparently regained consciousness and was able to halt the continuants of the harm being dealt out. A rather high and wicked laugh echoed out into the streets as from what looked like a large hole arose the red skinned man glowing with an outline of yellow.

He had his arms crossed over his chest and had a rather bold smirk on his face as he stared down at both the black man and the blonde. "Don't think you've won just yet you miserable heroes!" he stated sharply as he now narrowed his glare on a red blur that streaked across the street to the girl's side. "I'll be back to finish our little fight Green Lantern!" he shouted before flying off into the sky at a rather fast speed.

The blonde made to go after him but was stopped with one word spoke from the guy in black and green – "No!"

"The hell!" the guy in red asked while looking over at him. "What do you mean no? S here can catch up with him faster than you could!" he stated while sounding a bit frustrated at the same time.

The black man shook his head and with the green light set the car aside so as not to hurt anyone. "I said no and that's final. We have more important things to deal with than chase after Sinestro right now." He stated while setting foot on the ground and coming over to the two boys who were just staring at him and the other two oddities. The guy who had been called Green Lantern by the red skinned guy that he in turn called Sinestro, stopped just short of them and looked them over. "Are you two okay?" he asked. His voice was gruff but it held a sense of concern for their well being.

Clark and Pete nodded their heads in answer to him. Green Lantern gave half smile while looking over at the blonde girl near the coffee house. "You two were definitely lucky that she arrived just in time." He stated with a bit of a more broader smile directed to the blonde who seemed a bit sheepish now with the compliment being paid to her.

The guy in red next to her elbowed her playfully and smirked as he crossed his arms. Looking over at Green Lantern he gestured with a twist of his head towards the cops. "So, uh, what do we do about those guys? I mean, they don't seem to happy about all this at all."

Green Lantern nodded as he agreed with this. He noticed for some reason that these police seemed to have no idea who the three of them were. Odd, because, didn't every one know who Green Lantern, The Flash, and Super Girl were? Even in a small place like this, surely they knew about the Justice League and its members. It didn't seem that way as they still had their weapons drawn and pointed at them. Something is not right here. Lantern thought to himself while glancing over at the men and women in uniform who held rather irritated looks on their faces. Lantern looked back at his two comrades knowing they really didn't have too much of a choice. "Let's leave. We'll regroup later." He stated his order and then was outlined with the same green light as before and lifted off the ground to fly up into the air and left.

The cops shouted after him with threats of firing at him, giving Flash and Super Girl the chance they needed to disappear without being noticed really. Flash saluted the teen hero and then zipped off in a blur of red and gold leaving her there just standing before the broken window of the coffee house. Clark looked at her with a questioning stare that asked what she was going to do. She shrugged at him and then noticed that the cops were now yelling at her again. With a rather apologizing look towards Clark and Pete, Super Girl then took to the air and flew away with the cops freaking out now that they had four different people just take off like that on them in ways that could be described as unnatural and inhuman. Clark watched after the girl even long after she was gone. Pete looked at Clark and then into the sky in which his friend was staring into intently. Shaking his head, Pete tugged on Clark's sleeve and finally got his attention back down to earth
