The Sun slowly turned the Sky into a deep beautiful Red as the Night started. It was one of these Nights that were too good to be true. One of this Nights that promised to be something special.
Metropolis, Lois and Clarks Evening
Clark had finally managed to leave the Shower but had run right into the next session with the Diamond Lights. Standing naked and hard inside the Door he could only stare in a deep Trance at the Wonderful Lights not noticing the Time went on. As his wake up from the Trance he saw the Sun going down turning Metropolis in a beautiful Red. Still Horny as hell he put on his Costume and flew over the City. It was his Job after all to protect the City. But it was hard for him not to think about all the possibilities he had. Flying to Siren, fuck her a few times and returning to his Patrol would be so exciting. But he couldn’t do it. Not right now. He had to show the People that he was there and that he protected them.
Lois had left Lex half an hour before Sunset and had moved to the Daily Planet. She didn’t want to be home with Clark right now and even if she would have, she had a lot of Work to do. Lex and she had talked a lot about the possible Ways how they could work together and while she was writing her Story about him he would work on the Generator. It was a Win/Win Situation. But she needed a new Equipment for this Story. A better Recorder, a new Laptop and such things. She had to be able to write anywhere and anytime. Maybe one of this new Surface Tablets from Microsoft? Perry would get mad but he would pay it. If Lois would write the Story and it was an exclusive Story, the Daily Planet would double his Magazines per Day. So she sat inside the Building, almost alone and start writing. But her Mind couldn’t focus on her Task. Whenever she closed her Eyes she saw Lex Cock in front of her. She felt his cum running down her Cleavage, smelling his Semen in her nostrils. Why the hell hadn’t she just fucked him? When Clark could cheat on her why wasn’t she doing the same? Because she was a Journalist and it felt good to be only one Time better than Superman. But if he would ever cheat on her again she would show Clark pictures of Lex fucking her with this big Stick. It would be her Way of revenge on him. Getting fucked by his former Arch-Enemy.
Meanwhile in Gotham City.
Slade had worked really hard the whole day to secure the entire High-Tech District of Gotham and for what? The whole Work was in vain. It was one of these special Nights. One of the Nights where the big Players left the Shadow and threatened the City with a new and terrible Weapon, a Monster running havoc or like tonight. Letting a big Plant grow in the Heart of Gotham.
Poison Ivy was back.
This would be easy earned Money for sure. Unknowingly Poison Ivy had taken away the whole Work from Slade but he wasn’t mad about this. It was almost clear that the Batman would go after her. He had moved into one of the higher Buildings and chose one of the Windows from what he had a good view over the Plaza. He couldn’t see inside the Plant Construct that was still growing but he had a good overlook to every possible Way into it. If Batman would enter it from the Street it would be impossible to miss him. The Batmobile was more a Tank than a Car and a living Nightmare. If he would enter more secretly he would try to get in it on the upper Way. While the different Plants were still growing it wasn’t very clever to enter it now. But as he knew the Bat he would go in from the upper Way. Poison Ivy was a well-known Enemy for the Bat and inside this Plant she sure had some interesting Traps for him. But he had beaten her Again and Again. It wouldn’t be different this time. The only thing he had to do was to take care what he would do afterwards. If it would be one of the Battles where he had to do everything possible to win he would surely return to his Headquarter. If he would win in a couples of Minutes he would go on Patrol after taking her down. In this Case he had to distract him.
It didn’t take long before he saw the Shadow of Batman standing on a Roof. He didn’t wait long and jumped down into the Plant Construct. Slade couldn’t see what happened inside the Building but some of his Scanner showed that at least there was a loud fight. The Plant disrupted the Scanner signal but from time to time he heard explosives and loud screams a moans. It seemed that Ivy was putting a hell of a fight. It took Batman more than an hour to take her down but he saw him finally leaving the Plant. Ivy covered in sweat and with a new fine pair of handcuffs on her back was moving in front of him. His Armour was destroyed in the chest area and proved that he had had a tough fight. Slade could see that he looked exhausted as he pushed her into the Bat Car. It was clear for Slade that Batman would be out of the way for the rest of the Night. It was almost sad that he had been ordered to observe him and not to take him out. This was one of the rare chances where he had a good Fire Arc on him. But he had his Orders and Orders were Orders after all. And killing Batman would surely make Superman angry. Not a nice thought after all.
Metropolis, LexCorp Tower
In Metropolis Lex sat in front of the Monitor and looked down at his Monitor. He watched the Video for the sixth time now but not because he wanted to see Batman fucking someone else. He had run diagnostics on this Video a dozen time now. It was no back trap inside. He had used Diamond Light Filters as he watched it, had scanned the Background Sound and even let it run in only 1/1000000 Speed to see if there were Subliminal Messages. This Time he tried to find out what they were talking about, but even the best Lip-Reading Software couldn’t work with this angle. It seemed impossible for him to find out what they were talking about but some things had made him nervous. It seemed that Ivy didn’t try to escape form the battlefield after the Battle. She let him catch her without any resentment. There was something fishy going on. Now he had to make a decision. Should he use this Video to improve his Image by the J.L.A. or should he hide it?
If he would inform the J.L.A. he could show them the Video and inform them about what happened with Batman. And this time he hadn’t even to fear that they could track this event down to him because he had done nothing. But if the green skinned Bombshell had taken down the Bat he was a big step further in his own Plans. Superman maybe was the better Warrior and stronger Enemy but Batman was scary. He had something… strange about him. And he sure was the greatest detective in the World. He was one of the greater Risks for Luthor’s Plan. Maybe a full aware Batman could have ruined his Plan to Unite the World under his Power with the Generators.
Thinking over it again and again he chose to keep this Video a secret for now. Maybe he could use it much better later. Maybe he could blackmail Ivy or Batman with it when it was necessary. But this Video and the Informant had put up a dangerous Picture for him. What if he was also Part of someone else Plan. If someone used him for a bigger goal. He had send his most trusted Assistant, Mercy, to follow his Guest and find out anything that was possible. He knew that this was one of Mercy´s Talents and that he could trust her with his Life. Maybe she was the only one on the Planet he could say such a thing. While Mercy followed him he had run the next Diagnostic Run on the Video he started to look through the Files of his Company. He searched for any kind of suspicious Data, Money Transfer or a secret Project. If he was Part of the Plan of someone else it wouldn’t take long until he would find out who was the new Player and shortly after this he would find out that nobody was using Lex Luthor unharmed.
Solar System, close to Jupiter.
Green Lantern levitated over the Gas Giant and smiled down on the Storm that was moving over the Surface for over 400 Years now. Only few People of Earth had the Ability to come this close to this Planet and could enjoy it. He had fought with the Lantern Corp in Sector 8129 against a massive Threat but as always the Lantern Corp had won the Battle. They had paid a terrible Price and lost a lot of young Lanterns but they had saved six Sectors at least. Billions of Life’s had been saved and most of them had noticed nothing of it. This was the greatest Victory this time. No Panic on any Planet. But Hal Jordon was happy to return to Earth. He was sure that Carol had recovered from her time as Star Sapphire and that she was mental Stable again. It had been a tough fight for him to break her free from the Pink Lantern Corp and to prove her that he hadn’t hurt her with Purpose. He really hoped that it would run better this time. Maybe he just should try to tell her who he was. Maybe she would understand it now that he had to leave her from time to time to protect her against Threats that she couldn’t even dream of. But he had spent enough time watching the Planet and he still had a few millions Miles to go and his Ring was only at 50% energy. Focusing on the Power in his Ring he started to flew towards the third Planet of the System. Years ago all he wanted to do was flying Prototype Jets, pushing them to their Limits, and now he was flying with unbelievable Speed. Nothing Mankind had been able to reach this Speed at the Moment. And it was good as it was. The Human Race wasn’t ready for the Real Galaxy out there. If the NASA would ever be able to create a Shuttle that reached his Speed they would could reach the Mars in minutes. Passing the Red Planet close to Light Speed he could already see the Planet Earth in front of him. It would take him 5 more Minutes to reach it and finally get a good Beer. With all the High Tech and whatever nobody could make such a good beer like the humans.
As he reached the Planet he could see the Watchtower floating over the Planet like a giant Sword, protecting the Planet. With the Fusion Gun inside the Station it was able to destroy even a Tarklacitan Battleship with one Shot. But he wasn’t very happy with this Gun. He had seen it on thousands of Planets before. Building Orbital Guns always destabilized the Planet Governments. But as long as it was in the Hand of the J.L.A. it was maybe a good thing. He just wanted to fly towards the Space Log as his Com was active again. But it wasn’t the classical Welcome Home message. It was J´onn.
“Hal. Hello Welcome back. You are late.”
“Oh hello J´onn. Late? What do you mean?”
“You contacted us yesterday that you would arrive at 7pm. Now it is 7:23pm. You are late as I said.”
“Come on J´onn. I enjoyed a Drive in on Jupiter. They have the best Star Burgers you know?” he joked but as always the Martian proved to have no sense for his kind of Humour.
“I haven’t understood the Human desire for Fast Food yet. Welcome Home. Watchtower out.”
Shaking his Head Hal flew into the Atmosphere and used the Ring to call Carol.
“Hey Carol. Guess who… hey? Is this a Triton 21ax Engine in the Background?” he asked
“Oh hi Hal. Nope. A 22Bx engine… not one but 4. I am flying the Daedalus to from Germany back to our Base. Normally this was your Job but I needed a few days off? Wasn’t it so? Strange. I am sure it was a few Days… NOT TWO WEEKS!” she answered him angry.
“Yes Yes Baby. I know. It took a bit longer than expected. But I can... hey... what was that noise?” he asked as he heard a strange change in the frequency of the Engines. Only a Test Pilot with his Experience could hear something like that.
“Have lost one Engine. Hal. I call later.” The Phone went dead but Hal knew that she was in trouble. What had she said? Germany to the Base in USA? Then he knew what Route she would have taken. Turning around and flying to higher he looked around to find the Daedalus. Forming a Construct-Radar he soon found a Plane and scanned the Radio Frequency.
“This is Airplane BX 2-32. This is an Emergency Call. 2 Engines have lost Power. Third one is burning. I am going down. The Coordinates are ZULU TANGO 823. I Repeat. ZULU TANGO 823.”
Creating another Construct out of his Will he formed 2 F-22 Raptors and let them pull him even faster to the burning Airplane. The Daedalus was a Cargo Plane a bit bigger than the Antanov 225. The biggest Plane on the Planet right now but he knew that Ferris Airplane already worked on the Tantalus. An even bigger Plane. But something must have gone terribly wrong here. One of the big Engines looked like a burning Inferno and only one other Engine was working. But the biggest Problem was that one of the Wings started to deform at growing Speed. The Pressure on the Wing was way too big for the construction. He flew over the Daedalus and used his Ring to create a big stapler out of green Light. While he used it to staple the Wing on the Main Hull he thought of a Way to save the entire Airplane. But he was right in the middle of nowhere and had only 34% Power left. He would need a real huge Construct to save this Airplane.
“This is Green Lantern Ms. Ferris. How big is the Cargo inside the Daedalus?” he linked into the Com and flew right beside the huge Cockpit. As he had guessed she was alone inside the Plane.
“Green Lantern! Thank Goodness! I am saved! The Cargo? Fully Loaded. That means I have 320 Tons on Board.”
“Great. I am sorry to say this but I won’t be able to save you AND the Plane. I will get you out of there. Hope the Cargo isn’t too important?” he said as he cut a hole into the Plane and formed a giant Mitt where Carol could sit down.
“No. Just a gathering from different Artefacts from all over the World. Only worth billions of Dollars!” she said but knew that the plane was lost. At least she would be safe. Again the Green Lantern had saved her and again she had the strange feeling that there was some kind of connection between both of them. Looking how the Plane crashed into the Water she made herself conformable on the strange green energy construct and he flew straight towards the US Coast.
Deep inside his Lair the Mastermind watched on three different Monitors. One showed the Events in Gotham City and was showing him that his Mission there was a success. The second showed Green Lantern and Carol Ferris and this had almost gone wrong. He hadn’t calculated that Green Lantern would be that late. The third one showed a Picture from deep under the Water. This part of his Plan had almost failed but he had managed it…. Somehow.
Under the Water
Around 300 Feet under the Waterline Hila watched as something from the Surface Dwellers sank deeper and deeper slowly. It was something gigantic and it seemed broken. She guessed that it had been one of their primitive Air Travel Devices. Nothing to wonder that such a primitive Thing would crash. But it was poisoning the Ocean with all the Oil and other Liquids that it had. But maybe she could savage it and find something interesting. She had to live out here almost all of her own. Her Sister hadn’t banished her from Atlantis but she had made it clear that she and her Husband didn’t want her any longer in the Walls of Atlantis. So she had left the mighty walls of the City and tried to find her own Path alone. But the more she had stayed out of here the more she wanted to have what she had. The Power, the King, all of it!
She had to hurry. The Atlantean Security had noticed this Thing too and soon their Forces would do the same that she would do now. Carefully she moved towards the Plane that had now finally reached the Ground. Some black and oily Substances rose slowly from broken Parts upwards and she tried her best to avoid them. Leaving the Wings to her left she tried to enter the Main Hull as fast as she could. Inside she found big Containers. Some of them were destroyed after the Plane had hit the Water but some of them seemed to be intact. Swimming around for a bit she found something strange. One of the Containers was covered in Atlantean Letters. She was pretty sure that not many of the Surface Dwellers would be able to write in her Language but she wanted to see what it was saying. Much to her Shock it was a message for herself.
“Inside is a Present for the real Queen of Atlantis. All hail Hila. Queen of Atlantis and Beloved Wife of Aqua man.” She didn’t notice it but this wasn’t just a simple Message. It was an ancient Spell written in Atlantean. As she read it the Magic reacted and cursed the Reader to believe whatever she had read right now. She was already envy of her Sister but now she felt that she was the much better of both of them! She knew that it was her Birth right alone to sit on the Throne and that Aqua man would never had chosen her if he had knew what SHE was! And inside this Container was something that could help her reaching her Goals!
Using her Power over Water she created a Bubble around the Mankind created Container where it was save from the Ocean. She didn’t know if the Surface Dwellers had made, whatever it was, waterproof. Ripping the Doors open she saw some ancient Statues from Human History. Nothing she didn’t had seen already. But one of the Statues was interesting. Not showing the classical Greece Goddesses this one showed herself with the Crown of Atlantis. This was the Message for her. This was the Thing that the Surface Dweller wanted her to find. Taking the Statue with her she left the Area and took it to her Lair. Sadly she had to destroy the Statue to see what was inside but she was sure it had to be done. Only inside a massive Statue something could have survived such a Crash.
As she had finally destroyed it she found 4 Bottles that were filled with a colourless Liquid. And the letter told her that this was an improved version of Kondor’s Portion. Now it was Odourless and the message told her that she could mix it with all kind of Perfumes. When used as Perfume it lost a bit of its power but could make everyone inside its range more open for Suggestions. If someone was injected with it, it would wipe out the Mind at all. It would bring the victim into a deep Trance.
After the first events of Kaldor the Royal Family had created powerful magical Artefacts that would protect them against this special Potion but Hila knew that only two of them existed. The Members of the Royal Palace, the Guards and everyone else hadn’t such a protection. And soon Mera, her beloved sister, would be giving away her own Amulet freely to help her new Queen to seduce her Husband. Laughing evil Hila planed her big return to Atlantis. She would entrance the whole royal Palace until she could get close enough to her Sister. One of her servants could maybe entrance Mera when she wasn’t wearing the Amulet and then she would be doomed!
“All Hail Queen Hila!” Hila smiled as she left this worthless Cave heading back to Atlantis.

Inside the Office of Carol Ferris around 3am the next morning.
The Order was more than simple. Everything his Boss had told him was that he had to put this Case on the Desk of Carol Feris. What a simple job for a master Thief like him! He didn’t even know for whom he was working but the Payment was create.
He had also take a look into the Case but it was nothing of any interest for him. A stupid Purple Ring and some Pictures of Green Lantern and an alien looking female Green Lantern kissing and fucking each other. For him the alien just looked like Porn version of an Elf in Green Lantern dress. The other Photos showed someone he had seen on a Photo inside this Room. An Air Force Pilot or so. Also fucking a blond Woman in a cheap Motel. Maybe this was just a blackmailing or a Detective had been hired to find out cheating… he didn’t care. The ring didn’t seem to be worthy a betrayal and so he just did what he was ordered to do. The only thing he knew was that the Ring had arrived only a few hours before straight from Gotham City with an Express Plane.
What the Thief didn’t knew was that the Purple Ring had been stolen from a high Security Facility in Gotham City and had been replaced by a 100% copy of the Ring. Nobody would even notice the Difference because only one Person could use the Ring and unless Carol Ferris would put it on it was just a normal Ring. But the Mastermind had managed to create small doses of Pink Kryptonite. Not enough to effect Superman or any other Kryptonian but he had crushed it into a fine powder and put the powder on the Ring. He hoped, and it was just a hope, that the Pink Kryptonite would interact with the Star Sapphire to increase the Love she felt for Hal Jordan and to Green Lantern. He did not even understand the most common Mechanics behind the Ring but he knew that it had been created to work with the Power of Love. Maybe a love drunken Star Sapphire would be able to cast a love Spell on Hal Jordon aka Green Lantern. Also there was a Picture in it that proved that Hal Jordon was Green Lantern.
