When Justice Watches

Docks of New York. On the berth, amidst all the containers, numerous workers are down, beaten up. Four individuals in colorful costumes are shown surrounding containers with the STARK industries logo. A large demolition ball destroyed one of the crates, returning to his user, a large African-american man. He was with another person, this one using a crowbar.

“Ah shit, we’re getting right into the fire” said Green Arrow startled, looking at the docks with reminiscence.

Supergirl looked at this and winced, remembering how she trashed a dock when she had just gotten to Earth under Zod’s control.

“All the days we have to stay waiting in stake out for the shipments to arrive, or just stopping some deals” groaned Artemis.

“Speaking to the choir there” said Spoiler, throwing her head back at the memories of how many fucking times she had gotten in a fight at the docks. The only location with more fights was fricking Arkham.

“Uh, this is it. This is what the boss wanted. A Gamma Energy Emitter.” Said the wrecking ball user “Stark may have stopped making weapons, but he still makes all kinds of good stuff.”

“Gamma Energy?!” shouted the scientists of the groups, making everyone concerned.

“Uuh, how bad is it?” asked Beast Boy

“Let me put it this way, they are categorized as the most harmful external hazards” explained Wally, causing everyone to feel dread.

“God damn it there’s always some fools wanting to turn science into weapons” raged Terrific, making his co-workers jump in surprise at the angry tone from the normally stoic man.

“Get your toy, Thunderball. It's time to go.” Ordered the crowbar using criminal.

[Eliot Franklin/Thunderball]

[What do you mean he has a PhD?]

[Dirk Garthwaite/Wrecker]

[Respect just because of the fact he goes against Thor fearlessly (idiotically)]

“Wrecker and Thunderball? Well, those are some truly original names” mocked Crush, making her teammates look away, because half of them had so simple names.

“That’s too much strength for baseline humans. What are we thinking, Metagene?” asked John Stewart.

“Very likely, although maybe it is that they were changed by Gamma Radiation” offered C. Atom, knowing that radiation could give people powers. He was the freaking example (of DC)

In the city, an ambulance was quickly driving, quickly changing lanes to evade car. “Reports of officers down. All units respond to a possible code blue.” Came the voice from the radio.

“Code blue? Never heard of that.” Asked a young paramedic, looking at his partner, a beautiful brown-haired woman

“I have. Super-villains.” Answered Jane Foster.

[Jane Foster]

[Whatever job, she’s always a badass]

“Shit, they’re going right into the frying pan” murmured Huntress.

The ambulance arrived at the docks, where the situation hadn’t gotten any better. A blonde muscular man was ignoring the bullets shot at him and threw the hood of a police car he had just crashed, while other policemen were shooting at a giant juggernaut in a orange jumpsuit, his face covered in a metallic helmet, but the figure ignored it and crashed onto a police car, destroying it.

[Piledriver]

[The country boy from Brooklynn]

[Bulldozer]

[Didn’t know he was honorably discharged till now]

“Damn, this is giving me Brick flashbags” said the entire Arrow family, remembering their fights with the Metahuman crime boss. Their respective partners hugged them, knowing too of the annoyance of the gangster.

“Hey, is it weird that I can see them as some kind of villains from WWE?” asked Impulse, causing a record scratch and facepalms.

“No way, you’re totally right!” exclaimed Cassie excitedly, before frowning “Then the hero better get there soon”

Jane, meanwhile, was driving in a manner that she would handle herself really well in Mario Kart, evading even falling cars. She arrived at the fight, coming down from the car ready to help.

“I need your help. Come on.” She shouted at her co-worker, who saw the fight scene and immediately decided…

“No-- No way. This is crazy.” To hide in the car.

“Oh goddammit! She JUST had to get a fricking rookie!” cursed Dr. Light.

The other heroes got anxious too

Jane could only look as the Wrecking crew emerged from the fire, Thunderball carrying the Gamma emitter and pointing it at the fallen policemen.

“Oh shit, he’s gonna shoot!” shouted Static, feeling anxiety rise at the mortal danger.

“Hey guys, what if this is her origin story? asked Firestorm, making his coworkers turn to him “because if what Captain Atom said is possible and we know radiation can give powers…” everyone gained an apprehensive look. It would certainly be lucky, but there were also many chances that it could go so wrong.

“Let's see what this thing can do. Huh?!” He suddenly shouted, as he was sent crashing into some of the metal crates.

“Phew!” YES!” Thank Athena!” were the exclamations of relief and joy at seeing the villain get taken down.

“Wait, what was that projectile?” asked Artemis, because it had been too big for a normal arrow but hadn’t caused an explosion like some missile.

Her words caused her teammates to focus too. Everyone looked at the projectile, and became gobsmacked.

The act was done by a small, flying hammer, who returned to its owner, an incredibly well-built, blonde locks blowing, tall man who was flying. Lightning crashed behind him, even though the sky was clear.

“Move back mortals. Thor the thunderer will deal with these villains”

[Thor Odinson]

[(eeeeeeeeeee….)]

[God of G.O.A.T.S.]

Silence. Pure silence filled the viewing rooms. The statement from the new superhero filled them with tremendous surprise.

“Hey, uhh, he said Thor. Does he mean he is the, I don’t know, the fucking NORSE GOD?” shouted Booster at the end, making the heroes go crazy.

“Huh, he’s blonde in this reality” said Diana, looking at the Nordic god of this universe. She had met Thor (from this universe), and while he was a good natured guy, he was very much different to his counterpart.

“His hammer looks flawless” gasped Steel, salivating at the weapon

“Damn, I’d smash” declared PowerGirl, her words leaving without thinking, filling the room with many blushes and some laughs, the biggest being her family who were blushing bright as tomatoes. “Oh come on, I’m not the only one thinking it”

One who was silent was SHAZAM. It wasn’t until Billy had done some growing up and research that he truly realized his powers came not from heroes, but from gods and warriors. While that had been fine because he hadn’t gotten their personalities (except the courage of Achilles, and even then he still wondered how that counted as a power, because you are not courageous if you know you are invulnerable), he still couldn’t shake the memories of when he helped the Wonder family fight Hercules, and then meeting Zeus. Hoo boy had that been a meeting. But now, seeing this god being a hero, of the modern kind, made his inner(actual) child get giddy.

Wonder Girl was of the same line of thought. Even taking out the fact that she was a bastard and had monsters after her sent by a capital BITCH (you know who I am talking about), she could have dealt with it if not for her “father” being a disgusting, lecherous, horrible ****************. But this guy, who was supposed to be his counterpart in the Nordic sense, was being a good guy. She desired, nay, hoped that it was not a rush before a darker reveal.

The electric heroes, on the other hand, also became instantly attentive. A hero and god with lightning powers? You didn’t see that everyday.

He moved and positioned himself in front of the crew, who decided to attack the new superhero. Bulldozer made the first move, charging at him, only for Thor to use his hammer to bitchslap him into a pile of metal containers. Thor started to move, only for Piledriver to come with a sneak punch, proceeding to throw him to the ground. However, Thor waited for the right moment and used his hammer to deliver a well placed gut-shot, which left the villain groaning on the ground. Thor got up only for Wrecker to also sneak attack him, throwing him into metal crates. Wrecker started to leave, only for sound to make him look back at Thor getting up and coming at him with lightning emitting from his hammer. He could nearly not block it with his crowbar, forcing a stalemate.

“He is strong” praised Orion. He had been told tales of the Old gods, in particular Alitha of the Green Lanterns, but to see them in action was a sight to see. Come to think of it, no Old god had joined the league.

“And smart” chipped Donna “he perfectly waited to get that Piledriver guy right where it hurt”

“C’mon Earthman, get beaten by the construction squad!” cheered Bizarro, becoming enamoured with the new hero.

“Surrender now and I will show mercy.” Said Thor to the villain.

“You know, that’s good. I would have thought that a god of the religion who literally venerates war to be more… murder happy?” ended Gar, being relieved at the morals of the guy.

“Hey the guy is living up to the hype.” Added Kyle, getting some popcorns with his constructs. “We have a day named after him, and he’s proving deserving of it.”

“That makes one of us.” Responded Wrecker, who broke the stalemate and pushed Thor away. Thunderball, meanwhile, recovered from the blow and, seeing as Thor was under a crane carrying a container, threw his wrecking ball to the crane, making it fall down onto Thor. The Wrecking crew reunited, laughing like overconfident schmucks

“The Mighty Thor, more like a mighty big id—“ started Wrecker, only for an explosion to cut him. Mjolnir came flying at them, the group trying to dodge, except Mjolnir got the other three, Bulldozer and Thunderball were sent flying and Piledriver crashed into a metallic container.

“They deserved that” unilaterally said the Outlaws. It was so fucking typical of villains to grandstand when they thought they had won.

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about!” shouted Billy, jumping in his seat in excitement.

“Calm down son, the battle’s still on” lightly admonished Jefferson, making the strongest mortal on earth blush. He was worried when her would met his younger daughter, because those two would get along very well, and he was not prepared for the ensuing chaos.

Thor emerged no worse for wear, only to see that Wrecker now had Jane in his grasp.

“Back off, blondie, or Florence Nightingale here is gonna get the worst headache of her life.” Threatened the villain, Jane squirming in his hold.

“Have you no honor?” askered Thor, disgusted at the man

“Not even a little.” Answered Wrecker, in a peppy tone. Thor, however was still calm.

“Son of a bitch” raged Karen (sorry, I had to do it :)), crushing the hand of her boyfriend, who winced in pain.

“How dare that fiend! Admitting his evil so highly” seethed Shining, getting ready to unsheathe his sword, making his friends stop him.

However, some members took notice of Thor’s calmness. Batman, in particular, allowed a ghost of a smirk, remembering a certain tool the villain seemed to have forgotten.

“Then you should be familiar with attacking a foe from behind.”

“Huh?” Wrecker could only gasp at how Mjolnir was coming back, Jane using the distraction to evade, which served her well as Mjolnir gave Wrecker a glorious blow to the head, which got another blow when he flew into another of the containers. You know, these containers sure are popping up in the transport docks.

“HAHAHHAHA! Suck it!” laughed Artemis & Crush, being joined by the more “open” heroes.

“Hum, how would I make it with tech? The flying part is easy, but the returning…” started schemating Steel. It had been true the part about ideas.

“Thank you.” Answered Jane to Thor, who got Mjolnir back and helped the woman stand up.
“You have no powers, no armor, no weapons and yet I saw you risk your life to help the wounded. Why?” asked Thor, intrigued by the mortal before him.

“Because they needed my help, so I helped them. I'm a paramedic. It's what I do. I'm Jane. Jane Foster.” Answered the paramedic, making Thor’s heart flutter. Just a little.

“Ahhh, seems like somebody has a crush” awed Lilith.

Superman smiled, seeing the similarity in the god with himself. A very powerful man falling in love with a human woman who showed great courage.

“I-- I am—" he tried to say, only for a figure to cut him. He emerged from what looked like a circular water image, only in the sky (heaven image?) that was in reality a portal. The caller was a muscular viking man, wielding a large ask.

[Heimdall.]

[Best keeper in the whole Nine realms.]

“Thor!” “I bear a grim message from thy father Odin. He calls you home. Asgard is under siege.” Shouted Heimdall, informing Thor.

“Ah hell, it’s one of those days” groaned Conner, reclining in his girlfriend’s embrace.

While everyone got concerned, those more attuned to the mystical side got scared shitless. Asgard was one of the main powers of the sphere of the gods and was responsible for keeping the Nine realms in check. If it fell, the resulting chaos would be unimaginable.

“Fate, calm down, everything’s going to be alright” tried to reassure Zatana to the Lord of Order, who looked like he was having a stroke at not being able to go there and stop the chaos.

“So is it a rule that the people of mystical places are jacked?” asked Simon, seeing that Heimdall was as big and muscled as Thor

“Uh, duh” deadpanned Artemis

“Fare thee well, Jane Foster.” Said Thor, flying into the portal, having to leave for now.

“Huh. Bye.” Answered Jane, overwhelmed by everything.

“Been there girl. Start preparing for that kind of thing if you follow that route” smiled Vixen mornfully.

Lantern John winced, knowing particularly well she was referring to him.

The other heroes, those with civilian partners, also grimaced. They made sure to make a note and prepare some fantastic night for them.

We cut to a rainbow bridge which carries onto a beautiful city. From beyond the walls, a large blizzard arrives, making the citizens nervous. The guards from the walls suddenly see what look like figures in the distance, throwing something which are giant rocks, crashing onto the castle, destroying towers. The whole city feels the attack. One Frost giant comes running into the gate, opening it after throwing the guards who tried to attack him away. The Frost giants have now entered the city. The citizens look scared, while a smaller figure moves to stand alongside the giants. He is wearing a helmet with large horns, clad in sickly green and gold, with a grin that oozes of smugness adorning his face.

“Holy shit!” shouted nearly everyone.

“We don’t have many defenses against giant enemies” stated Shayera, the rest of the leaders grimly acknowledging it.

“What do we do? Build giant robots to fight them?” asked Flash, getting incredulous looks from the others, through Batman kept quiet. Maybe cuz he actually had a giant mech.

“Kyle? If they come, you are immediately  to construct a giant robot” ordered Nightwing, making the lantern nod.

“Yeah, whichever you want. Iron Giant, Gundam, Evangelion… as long as it’s big”said Cyborg, making plans to start changing the tower into a mecha.

“Forward, my Frost Giants. Strike deep. Do not stop until the throne of Asgard belongs to its rightful lord, Loki.”

[Loki]

[At the moment in his conqueror phase]

“Wow, an egomaniac wanting a throne, never seen that before”

“Noooo whyyyy it’s mythological Vertigo” groaned Thea, reclining in Raven, who deadpanned and patted her friend in the back.

“Ok, I’m sorry, but what the heck is that helmet?” said Khalid, being perplexed at the helmet the villain was wearing” Weren’t the horns supposed to be small?

“Looks like somebody’s overcompensating” laughed Jaime, getting a high-five from Virgil.

The citizens run, helpless while the giants attack the city. Armored warriors start to move to respond, including one who, while saddened at having to leave the giant roasted turkey, contents himself with just  a thigh. Heimdall, meanwhile, is looking into the city, even as Thor arrives behind him.

“Mmm. The Frost Giants march for Odin's palace. With the Odin sleep nearly upon him, our king is weakened.”states Heimdall, his hands griping his axe in a desire to go fight the invaders, but he is needed at his job “I would join you in battle, but I am sworn to forever protect the Bifrost Bridge.”

“I know your pain buddy” said Terrific, he too being in charge of directing the heroes and keeping watch of all incidents.

Batman, meanwhile, noted down the term Odinsleep, accompanying terms like <Wrecking crew, Gamma energy?, Thor, Jane Foster & Asgardians>

“Worry not, Heimdall. I shall fell a Frost Giant in your name.” consoled Thor, receiving a smile from his fellow warrior.

He proceeds to spin his hammer, throwing it and getting carried alongside, flying into the battle.

“Wait what’s with that hammer movement? Is that how he flies?” asked Courtney, feeling weirdly happy. She totally didn’t have insecurities about only being able to fly thanks to the Star Rod. But if this ultra-powerful god needed his hammer to fly, then she felt a little bit better.

“Ehh, kind of, it seems like he just uses to jump…” started Supergirl, but seeing her friend start to look down, she stopped” but maybe he just learned how to fly from his hammer. You totally could to with more training” Her words brought a smile to Courtney, who hugged her

The giants, meanwhile, have made short work of numerous soldiers, and move closer to the castle. One warrior jumps on one of the giants swords, and through numerous leaps, arrives near his head, where he proceeds to blind the giant in one of his eyes, by sticking his sword in it, making the giant fall in pain.

[Balder the Brave]

[He’s all out of goodwill]

On another part of the battlefield, the corpulent warrior jumps onto a giant’s head, disorienting him while two other warriors, a fashionable blond and a rather serious guy in what looked like a parka rode horses and used a net to fell the giant.

[Volstagg the Voluminous]

[He’s so much like Obelix I love him]

[Fandral the dashing]

[What do you mean he was Robin Hood?]

[Hogun the Grim]

[Silent but deadly]

“Ok, we’ve Balder who in this case seems to have grown as a warrior. And those three warriors, they’re obviously Obelix, Robin Hood and Attila who performed a heel-face turn. Seems in this reality the norse gods opened their gates to people from other countries.” Started Question, weirding everyone again with his conclusions.

“Oh my god that guy looks like me” gasped Ollie”

“Oh great, now his ego will swell more” mocked Barry, him and Hal laughing in silence, before being silenced by a Stewart gaze.

“He does look like a noble gaul I had the chance to befriend, through the absence of his blonde partner worries me”

“Man, that guy would fit right with us” told Stephanie to Tim

“Yeah, maybe he would be the first member who used darker colours again” sassed Tim, because nearly every addition had decided to go with bright colours. Duke was understandable because he worked in the morning, but the others? Stephanie playfully punched his arm.

Volstagg the voluminous tried to celebrate a little, only for a giant ice ace to smash him against the city walls. One by one, the warriors fell in battle, including Balder, who was stomped on, and Sif, who did everything on her power not to be crushed, but got knocked down.

[Lady Sif]

[She rocks in every universe]

“Ah shit, they’re falling like flies” said Guy, because he knew what happened to the ones defeated by giants (thanks to learning the history & mythology of the country of his awesome still couldn’t believe he had girlfriend)

“Wait, where are the Valkyries? And the einherjar?” said girlfriend was worrying. Why did it seem like the supposedly most secure place in the nine realms was being so easily attacked? “Ah, Loki” gasped Ice in realization

“Guy must have prepared this ambush for a long time, choosing the moment when security is lax. Didn’t they say Odin was suffering some sleep?” theorized Fire, drawing nods from her friends.

 An ice giant went for the killing blow, only for Thor to arrive and divert the attention of all the giants..
“Thunderer, now we crush you, too.” Shouted one of the giants.

“Have at thee!” responded Thor, ire in his voice. The two enemies clashed weapons, generating giant shockwaves which started destroying the city.

“Let’s go Thor!” cheered Billy, his enthusiasm being shared by the other heroes, specially the younger teams.

A pair of ravens witnessed this, entering the central castle and perching themselves on a golden armored, older muscled man

“My son. Finally.” Said Odin, king of Asgard.

[Odin Borson]

[Dude, without your eyepatch you look like warrior Santa Claus]

“That’s… King Odin” gulped Tora, awestruck at the chief god of the Asgardian pantheon.

The amazons were too. They had previously met gods, in particular Zeus, much to their dismay. But to see this king, who seemed at the very least more presentable, brought them some confidence.

“He reminds me of Highfather” stated Orion, being remembered of the leader of New Genesis.

Thor was meanwhile still fighting the giants, throwing one away, only for another giant to slam him with a giant building. The giants surrounded the wreckage, from where Thor emerged after a few moments and Mjolnir started crackling with electricity
“I say thee nay. Thor will not fall by your hand, monster.” As he said this, a giant storm which covered Asgard appeared.

“Holy shit” murmured Jefferson, looking at the god’s power. Sure, they told you he was a god, but with how metas were now much more common and did many “godlike” things, you truly needed a remembering.

“Oh, I think not.” Said Loki, with Thor suddenly becoming encased in ice. Even so, Thor broke free, but the giants took advantage of the opportunity and threw him to the walls, disorienting him. Thor tried to recover, but the giants gave no mercy, they proceeded to lay down the smackdown. One grabbed Thor and carried him to his mouth, ready to eat him, but the thunder god recovered quickly and called his mighty hammer, which came and helped Thor break free by breaking the giant’s teeth.

“Phew, for a moment I thought we would have seen live cannibalism” gasped Hawk, because even if watching so many fights was making his powers resonate, he was drawing the line at the most extreme actions “Wait, is it cannibalism if it is done between different species?”

“Eeehhh, I think note. It’s just murder but with eating, somebody should invent a word” said Crush, making her teammates facepalm.

“Crush, just because it is another species doesn’t mean it is not cannibalism. The term means eating human flesh. Hence it is cannibalism” explained Jade, making the czarnian have a <huh> face.

“I have felt your wrath, Frost Giants. Now, you shall feel mine! For Asgard!” with that shout, a conjured lightning storm rained down, the giants being fried alive. When the lightning ended, the now cooked jotunns fell down.

“Man… that was AWESOME” shouted Billy at the end, with some heroes applauding but others still gobsmacked.

Manhunter looked at his friends, knowing how much they respected the sanctity of life. “Are you fine?” he asked them.

Surprisingly, both Superman and Batman nodded. “It is, well, shocking” tried to joke Superman, which got him boos from Diana, Shayera and Flash “but well, Thor has shown himself a moral person”

“And we have also killed some aliens and monsters before” added Batman “moreover, Thor is not like us, he comes from a warrior culture and was dealing with an attack to his home by enemies who tried to eat him.”

“What Bat’s saying is I think we can’t hold it against Thor, like how we didn’t hold Lord’s death against Diana” finished Superman

“And thank god you didn’t, or else I would have had to slap some sense into you” joked Diana, making Clark gulp and Batman… to do nothing, cause he is Batman. But yeah, holding that action when it was the only way to win in an impossible situation was idiotic and childish (I’m not looking at anyone, specially DC writers, no sir)

Thor, suddenly, was attacked by a ray of dark energy, causing him to crash into the city. He looked up to see Loki, floating in the air, arms clad in dark energy

“Welcome home, brother.” Said the trickster god “You've had this coming for a long time, of course. But you know this.” Loki shot Thor with the dark magic, making him cry in pain, flying into the city helplessly. Loki meanwhile calmly approached the injured hero, manifesting a golden trident as big as him “You and Odin deserve what's coming.”

“He even attacks from behind like Vertigo, god damnit” groaned Dinah, because she was starting to get tired from the delusions of grandeur from the trickster.

“It is just like watching Ocean Master whine” said Kaldur, stupefied at the pettiness of the god.

“I do not wish to fight you, Loki.” stumbled Thor, imploring his brother to see reason “Once we were brothers. We were friends. we fought side by side, the sons of Odin, together. It could be that way again!”

“Huh, that’s another difference from the myths” said Donna, surprised at that fact.

“I think we should have expected many things would be different when Thor wasn’t a redhead” stated Raven.

“You made your choice, Thor.” Only for Loki to renounce it like the asshole he currently is” Always the dutiful son. You chose to remain blind to Odin's lies. And for that choice, you will suffer.” Having said that, he attempted to impale his brother, who got out of the way

“To me, Mjolnir.” Called Thor, his dutiful weapon returning.

Both Odisons started their clash, Thor gaining the upper hand and smashing Loki away, throwing him into a tower which got destroyed. He jumped, going after him, only for Loki to attack him with dark energy when he arrived. Using Mjolnir as a shield, Thor got near Loki and pounded his brother into a bridge. Thor got his hammer up, thunder and lightning quickly appearing, the god summoning large amounts of electricity which he threw at Loki, who dissolved into little dark butterflies.

“Thor is clearly the warrior” noted Zatanna, a habit she had picked from when she worked with Batman” he is just like Marvel but as good with the hammer as the hawks”

“Ohh we have to get him into a contest, see who is better” excitedly said Shayera, her husband nodding in appreciation.

“I also want to see how his hammer compares to Nth metal. I think it was made of “uru” or something like that” he added.

“While Loki is clearly a more magical fighter, any time he gets close to Thor he is beaten. It’s like if I tried to fight in close combat with someone like … Rex”

“Hey I was included!” joked the shape/element shifter.

“You can not best me, brother. You never could.” Said Thor, only for Loki to reform behind him and attack him, making Thor drop to his knees.

“Things change.” He snarled, trying to defeat Thor with his dark magic, only for the blonde god to grab him and throw him away

“Surrender, brother. It need not be this way.” Pleaded Thor. But Loki didn’t listen.

“I think it does. So noble. So brave. So gullible.” He threw shadow balls at Thor, who deflected them until he got near Loki, finally catching him and ending the battle

“Come, brother, you have much to answer for.” He declared, his hammer crackling with power.

“And that’s how it’s done people” cheered Steel, pretty happy with the hammer wielding finally stopping his brothers.

But amidst all the cheering, some minds were at full throttle. (We all know it’s the detectives). The ending seemed… anticlimactic. After all the attack, Loki gets defeated like that? And why does the villain not look so worried? He had committed what had to be one of the biggest criminal offenses. Question, in particular, came to a horrifying conclusion and snapped his pen.

We cut to the throne room, where everyone of the warriors was gathered. The doors opened harshly, revealing Thor, who threw a chained Loki in front of Odin, who, fair enough, looked absolutely livid.

“You have gone too far, Loki. This is no game. Soon I shall enter the Odin's sleep and Asgard will not have my power to protect it.” Said Odin slowly, in a deep voice which suited him, Clancy Brown was truly the right choice “To bring the Frost Giants here, to try to usurp your own father.”

“Jeez even his voice goes hard” Static was stumped, because the voice alone would command respect, but added to the figure? Yeah, he could see the guy as king.

“You are not my father. Look at you, king of fools. Of arrogance. Of weakness and betrayal. Asgard will fall, and I will be there to laugh in its ruins. To see you and Thor in chains.” Snarled Loki, as if uncaring of the danger he was in.

“Enough!” shouted Odin enraged, raising his mace which glowed with power “You leave me no choice, Loki. You are hereby banished to the Isle of Silence, where no one will have to suffer your lies and deception.”

“No. No! Father.” Shouted Loki, before he was teleported into another place.

“HAH! Let’s see how that feels, charlatan!” laughed Artemis, pleased to see the arrogant god being imprisoned.

“Man he really has some gall to plead for mercy after what he pulled” Mal had seen some criminals try to do that, but they hadn’t organized what was essentially a violent takeover of a country.

He got up in a forest. Everything was sinister, it looked like a grey filter was put on the whole world. Loki gazed at some crows, who opened their mouths, but no sound came out. The other crows started doing the same. Loki, perplexed, tried to talk down to the animals, but no sound came out of his mouth either. He shouted soundlessly in horror. The location was a giant island formed by a dead tree, every part of the floor formed by it’s rotten roots.

“…Ok I take it back, that’s horrifying” Artemis knew that there were harsh punishments in mythology, but being left without sound? That was new. And brutal.

Back in Asgard, Odin had just sent Loki to its prison. “Father…” began Thor, only for Odin to interrupt his son.

“The Odin sleep nears. Once a year, I must slumber to regain my strength so that Asgard can live. There is much for you to prepare.” He told Thor.

“Quick, write that down” ordered Stephanie to Tim, the latter trying to do it fast. However, a certain murder gremlin had done it first. ‘Damiaannn!’ oh the hate he had for that little shit

“Diana, do you know if this is the same in our reality?” asked Clark

“I… don’t. On my adventures with the asgardians we usually had to focus on killing monsters, and I never even saw Asgard, only Valhalla” responded the amazon

“Balder and Sif will watch over Asgard while you sleep. I must attend to Midgard You need to be here.” Thor rebutted, with Balder and Sif looking at each other in worry, knowing of the current temper of their king.

“You need to be here. Asgard is your responsibility, not Midgard.” Bellowed Odin, his rage exploding at his son.

“The mortals need me, Father. I return to Midgard again and again because their world is spawning dangers that mankind has never seen before. Evil that will consume them, unless I am there to stop it.” Thor pleaded, hoping his father saw to reason.

“Both are not wrong” acknowledged Aquaman. Thor was right in that supervillains were too much for ordinary human forces, but Odin was also right in that he had to defend his homeland.

“Balder tells me the humans are more capable than you give them credit for. You saw the valour in the human Jane Foster.” Replied Odin, while Balder looked lost at that, cuz he didn’t remember it.

This brought the attention of the more sharp heroes, because even if it looked like a small detail, it had big ramifications.

“Yeah, but valour alone isn’t going to help her when somebody throws a car at her” snapped Conner. He didn’t know why, but something about Odin’s voice was making him mad.

“And of course you were watching me. I will always be here to protect Asgard, but I will not play this game.” Loki is not wrong, Father. You toy with us all. Telling us whatever you need to in order to keep us under your heel. You could have stopped Loki's attack before it started.” Thor started to rant, his anger at his father not seeing his point exploding

“Enough. You dare defy me?” but this was a family thing, Odin also got up, letting his gigantic height impose pressure in the room.

“Should Asgard be threatened, I will be here. But, until then, I chose Earth.” Thor stated, leaving the throne room, his friends looking at him in concern, while Odin just sat back in his throne, silently.

“Holy shit, Thor is doing teenage rebellion! Let’s go!” laughed Thea, being joined by her less serious teammates. The Young Justice were doing the same, Kaldur facepalming at his team.

“Damn it, this is the curse of having too much territory to defend” mumbled Guy. He was really thankful that the power ring was not only useful and powerful, but also that he had help in patrolling the entire space sector, because if he was alone, he would not be able to have many chances of being able to rest or focus on his planet.

Hilariously, this had become a point of discussion in the corps themselves. Some Lanterns were also calling for the opportunity to have a partner to patrol their sectors, in particular the more dangerous ones.

“Father, you don't understand.” Murmured Thor, looking back at the castle from the beginning of the Rainbow bridge “I-no, I am needed on Earth” having said that, Thor took off, going back to Midgard.

This hurt Diana. It was incredibly similar as to when she and her mother fought because she wanted her to remain on Paradise Island, while she knw the world needed her help. At the very least, they were able to patch things up, which she hoped Thor and Odin would be able to.

This was all seen by a beautiful blonde clad in green vestiment, who teleported using magic.

[Amora the Enchantress.]

[Thor’s more villainous Maxima]

“Damn!” said many members of the audience, in particular the ones without partners. The woman was beautiful. Though the fact that she waited for Thor to leave to teleport quickly brought them to the conclusion she was not… good-aligned.

Orion couldn’t help but be remembered of his wife, Bekka, goddess of love. He got the feeling this woman was similar, yet very different.

 Back on the Isle of Silence, Loki sat on a stump, waiting almost boredly. He proceeded to remember the events which got him here.

“Shit I knew it!” raged Question, surprising his coworkers and making some of them jump “it was all a plan from Loki!”

“And Asgard fell for his deception” declared Batman, anger seeping in his tone.

“You are in great danger. They threaten your very existence. I have seen it! The Asgardians are planning to wage war on the Frost Giants.” Even now, they ready their armies. Soon they will move to destroy you all.” Loki declared to the Frost giants, increasing their ire, like an angry preacher “Odin would wipe you all away, but I stand against him. Join me, and we will strike at the heart of Asgard.”

“That conniving snake! He’s just like Mordred!” raged Shining Knight.

“Stroking the flames of hate, I can now say his punishment was deserved” said Kori. This whole situation was reminding her much of her sister and the numerous actions she had done, all of them villainous.

“And what of the Thunderer? What of Thor?” asked the leader of the small group of giants, looking at Loki in doubt. Smart guy, but not that much cuz he followed him in the end.

“Let me worry about my step-brother.” Loki stated, a wry look on his face “Now, who is with me?!” he shouted, receiving a chorus of agreements from the giants.

The picture then changes to New York, where the Wrecking crew where shown to be listening to someone

“The shipment arrives in New York City tomorrow morning, onboard a Stark Industries freighter. Bring it to me.” The speaker revealed itself to be a small, green-skinned man, with a rather large forehead.

“You got it, boss.” Said Wrecker, leaving the place.

Only it wasn’t their leader, but a disguised Loki.

“Who the heck is that?” asked Flash, perplexed at the goblin man “He has a brain as big as Humanite!”

“Man, that’s like if the Brain got himself a human suit”remarked Omen, her teammates shuddering at the mental image

On another part of the city, Thor watched over New York on top of a skyscraper, before his attention was called over.

“Thor! Please, you have to help.”

“What troubles you?”  

“It's horrible. People are being hurt. The police at the docks, they're under attack. Thor, they need you.” Shouted a blonde woman in green dress.

“Fear not, mortal. I will save them.” Declared Thor, before he flew away. The concerned frown on the woman’s face disappeared, before she used magic to reveal herself as Amora.

“Yeah, we should have expected Loki’s minion to have skill in illusions” said Zatanna, quickly noting down what this new magic user was capable of.

Fate also looked at her, but with more distaste. Her actions had caused so much chaos, and promised to do so in the future. (Yeah, Dr. Fate’s a little Chaotic Orderly)

She summoned a mystical green mist orb, to which she talked “It is done. He believed me.”

“Of course, he did, my beautiful enchantress. He always believes you.” Responded Loki’s voice, making Amora look guilty.

In Asgard, Balder was kneeling in front of Odin, reporting about Thor.
“His behavior is troubling, Allfather. His actions on Midgard are disheartening. He-- My lord.” Stopped Balder, maybe cause he was badmouthing the prince.

“Continue, noble Balder.” But Odin let him speak, he wasn’t going to smite someone cause they were telling the truth, and this was Balder.

“His arrogance is growing. He treats the mortals like children. And I have discovered the reason he neglects Asgard.” Continued Balder, spewing lies out of his mouth.

“Wow, and Odin doesn’t realize his son’s acting strange?” said Hal angrily.

“It’s because it is Balder. He was described as one who never lied and was the most reliable, so Loki is playing into that perfectly” frowned John.

“Tell me.” Said Odin, curious to know the reason why his son was on Midgard so much.

“It is possible that he stays on Midgard because a mortal has caught his eye. A mortal called Jane Foster.” That part is true, though. Thor you little besotted god.

“Welll, at least this relationship seems more innocent than others we know” yeah, if he was Greek, Cassie was sure the feelings would be very different.

“Mmm.” Grumbled Odin, because of course it was love. At least he didn’t have to worry about his son’s actions, he had grown good, full of honor and respect, unlike his Greek counterpart. How that horndog could maintain the power was lost to him.

However, it was later revealed that Balder was, in fact, LOKI (SHOCKING). Back in the Isle, Amora appeared with a tall muscled warrior, carrying a big battle axe. Adora also crafted a green sphere which expanded, enveloping the three asgardians, with Loki regaining his colours and his body started making sounds.

[Skurge the executioner]

[You fucking simp]

“Welp, guess we should have expected the prison to fall in it’s first appearance.” Deadpanned Red Hood “The Vault not fallying threw us off”

“Hey, where the heck did that guy come from?” asked Plastic Man, seeing the new addition. Nobody could give him a response, however.

“Ahg, this universe has so many different things” grumbled Tora, shaking her head. She was quickly getting angry at how many different and new Asgardians were being presented.

“Did you miss the sound of your own voice?” sassed Amora, finding it funny that Loki the charlatan could not speak.

“How drone.” snapped back Loki, before he commanded his minion “Tell me.”

“All transpires as you planned. Neither Thor nor Odin is aware of what is happening.” Reported Adora, bringing a smile to Loki’s face.

“Of course they're not. It is my plan, after all. No one is ready for what comes next. Kuhahahahaha” laughed Loki dangerously, his plan going seamlessly, with the heroes having less than a notion of what was truly going on.

“…Welp, we have who I think is the main villain for now” stated Huntress, knowing that the plan of the trickster god was likely going to be the main focus of the viewings of this universe. She recognized the tropes (thanks in part to her boyfriend).

“So yeah, Loki for season 1 main villain” said Garfield, Cyborg and Speedy agreeing with him. Raven, on the other hand, hoped that it was not, because the catastrophe a magical god of tricks could unleash… she didn’t want to see it.

“Don’t worry, I’m sure Thor will get a little help from the place he loves defending so much” joked Diana, but feeling, even with Loki’s evil plan looming in the horizon, hopeful, because heroes were starting to raise and would definitely come together.

“We will take a little break from this universe. The next viewing will not present a hero, he is in fact, averse to being called one. The one you will now see is the story, of the rise of the freest man in his world”

The heroes were perplexed, being weirded by this definition. Averse to being called a hero, but worthy of working with them?

“Sounds like a real personality” that was the best thing Jaime could say about the bizarre description.

Meanwhile, Superman was deep in thought. “The freest man, huh?” He was very interested to see this new universe and ‘hero’.
