----------------------------------------------------------------

[David Lance POV]

I had successfully recruited the remaining Green Lanterns into my side, all after having defeated their best warriors on a test made by the leader, Sayd.

Now, all that was left for me to do was to recruit the remaining Lantern corps.

At least the ones that I knew I could convince to help.

Fear, Rage, and Hope.

If I played my cards right, I could probably convince them to work together.

None of them were evil, I mean, aure they methods differed a lot, but they goal was essentially the same, fighting criminals.

Even Atrocitus, who after revenge for what the Green Lanterns had done to him, would still dedicate some of his time to hunting criminals.

"Wioska can you locate the leaders of the other corps like you did with Sayd?" I asked Wioska, who until now had been meditating, with Dex-Starr by her side.

"I can," Wioska nodded, her eyes still closed. "It's not difficult really, once you know what you're looking for, we'll, it's all a matter of focusing. I found Sayd by focusing on finding willpower alone, not that hers was the strongest one around, but it was around what I expected from the likes of an Oan."

Considering I defeated Sayd and her warriors with ease, it made sense Sayd wasn't the strongest source of willpower.

I knew for a fact that Wioska probably had more willpower than me, at least that much I considered, so with that being the case it was more than likely that others with stronger wills existed.

There's always a bigger fish in the sea.

"Who's the closest one?" I asked.

"Rage," Wioska answered, opening her eyes for the first time. "He's actually coming this way, how convenient."

How convenient indeed.

"Should I prepare myself for combat?" I asked, looking at the sky.

"Prepare? You should always be ready for combat, no matter the situation," Wioska replied with a sigh. "It seems that I failed as a teacher with you in many aspects."

I rolled my eyes at her. "Need I remind you we only trained for a damn week? Heck, the fact that I survived you that long is a win in my book."

"You struggled to survive my training because you were weak, and still are, just less weak than before," Wioska shot back without missing a beat.

I really hated this old lady. Well, not really, but yeah, I hated her.

"Bolt! I have come for your head!" The unmistakable roar of Atrocitus filled the air around us, shaking the very core of our environment.

"I suppose you don't need me to announce that, has arrived, right?" Wioska said, giving me a slight smirk. "And please, do hurry with this guy, while I'm sure you enjoy wasting your time, I didn't sign up to see you play with your food. It's unbecoming of a warrior seeing you play like that."

"You can always fight him yourself," I shot back. "You know what they say, if you want something done right, do it yourself."

A proposition I knew Wioska wouldn't take.

"Very well," Wioska chuckled.

Say what now?

"Loud thing, it seems I am to be your opponent," Wioska announced, walking towards Atrocitus.

"Leave, and you may liv-" That was all Atrocitus had managed to say before Wioska delivered an earth shattering slap on him, defeating him in one strike.

"And that's how you deal with inferior warriors, as quickly and efficient as possible," Wioska said, walking back to her meditation spot.

[Batman POV.]

[Injustice.]

Black Bolt was a threat, an enemy I wanted to deal with as soon as it was possible, but he wasn't the only one.

Dealing with Darkseid and Brainiac, were priorities in the scale of things.

Black Bolt could wait.

Concessions had to be made.

For now.

Eventually I would get back on his case. Right now however, that was out of the table.

"Batsy, what are we doing here?" Harley asked, tapping her fingers on the window of the batcar.

"Waiting."

With Superman and his regime gone at the hands of Bolt, many had returned to their places of origin, looking to hide from the world.

One of them was Aquaman.

He had sided with the regime when it was still in place, and just like Bolt he had crimes to answer for, nevertheless, his strength was needed and because of it, I wanted to recruit him into the war against Darkseid.

I knew Aquaman wasn't exactly a fan of my person right now, so I was also aware he wouldn't be an easy recruitment.

But if there's one thing that can make him join this cause, if the looming threat Darkseid represents to his kingdom.

"Uggh, but waiting for what? Santa?" Harley whined.

"We're here to recruit Aquaman," I said, my voice steady and unwavering.

Harley gave me a surprised look, her lips slightly parted in shock. "And here I thought I was the crazy one. Are you sure you wanna do that? He hates you right now."

"I am aware, just as I am aware he loves his people more than anything else. Which is exactly what we need to tap into if we want to get him on board with us," I responded without hesitation. "I'm sure once he hears what we have to say he'll come around."

I could feel Harley looking at me like she wanted to know more about the plan, but she didn't push it.

"Okay Batsy, I'm with you. I just hope he's willing to listen, drowning isn't exactly fun," She said with a sigh, before turning around.

And here he comes.

"It isn't. It seems you are wiser than Batman, Harley," Arthur said, slowly coming out of the water, one step at a time, trident at hand.

"You think? Aww shucks! Thanks!" Harley giggled.
