WARNING! The opening will hurt your brain.

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

Everyone within the theater stared at the two golden, humanoid beings with what could be best described as a 'are you serious?' face as John finally breaks the silence. "Spoilers? Are you serious right now? What, is this some kind of movie or TV show for you two?"

The doors burst open, catching everyone off guard, as a figure silhouetted by the light. He wore a trench coat and a Fedora, before stepping inside.

"They are very serious. To them this is a show, they have a higher dimensional brain, all because they wanted to and adapted to have one. But spoilers, for what? I have a feeling it's something we already know the answer to.'' The figure stepped further, the shadows hiding him, until he stepped out, showing that he wore a blue set of dress pants, a light orange shirt, and had no face.

"Question." Batman said.

"Precisely." the man said.

Superman looked at Batman, confused.

"Who is this guy?" John asked.

The twins look to each other as the brother says, "Ah the one for whom." The Sister finishes, "who is here and yet is not here." The brother nods as he says looking at the question. "One who knows the answers." The sister finishes, "yet doesn't know the answers."

"That would be a Question. Now here's something I wish to ask, be you existing in non-existence. The Question exists where there is a Question. You both have near infinite knowledge, yet you can never quite explain the existence of the Question." He said, standing right up to the Amazo twins.

The Amazo twins nod as the brother says, "but that in lies the question, for even in the multiverse the question is much like a famous cat." The sister adds, "alive and dead, knowing and not knowing." The Brother finishes, "here yet not here, there yet not there, everywhere and nowhere."

Hawk Girl was trying to follow the conversation, and was quickly left behind.

"What are they even talking about, they are basically talking in riddles and half sentences! And who is that? Cause these sound like a bunch of crazies!" She shouted, confused and looked at the rest, pointing at the 3, who were still talking in cryptic half sentences that looped back on themselves.

Bruce just says in his controlled and leveled voice, "that's the Question." Hawkgirl was silent, one moment, two moment, eye twitch, three moment, vain appears on her head. Until finally.

''RRRRAAAAAGGGGGGAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

All the frustration which has been building up finally erupted into one loud scream of pure frustration until finally after what felt like a solid minute, she calm down and was now breathing in and out of a paper bag trying to calm down and not murder someone.

"That doesn't explain a lot Bruce. Who is that guy?" John asked.

"I am the Question, well, one of the many Questions, but if I continue down that route, your girlfriend will most likely attempt to kill someone, and most likely, you'll attempt to stop her. To you, I would be known as Vic Sage, though I am not Vic Sage. Identity leads to stagnation, so I left mine and became a Question. THE Question." The Question explained.

John just nods slightly before he stops and even hawkgirl stops as well as both look at each other. "WERE NOT DATING!" Both shouted at the sametime.

The Amazo twins looked at each other and shared a knowing smirk before returning to those gathered, "Well before this goes any further. We have another guest to bring in, and this one is related to the last viewing." The sister adds, "Or they might be."

Question walked over to Batman, before he "looked" at the man. With a single tap on the center of his head, Question turned.

"I'd make sure you have someone ready to hold the princess back. If I didn't know better, I'd say you had some genuine vulnerability, and emotion." Question said, looking at Batman.

Bruce stays silent as the sister brings up her hand and with a snap of her fingers, a new figure appears in the theater. This one has the body covered in fur with spots, a feline tail, ears, claws. Overall she was an anthro cheetah. "What!? Who!? Where!?" She asks in a slight panic voice.

Wonder woman got up and was about to attack her, until Superman held her back.

"Cheetah." Question said.

"Where am I?" Cheetah commanded, acting as if she was having her claws out, and didn't find them.

"We can't have the upholstery ripped up." the Amazo brother said.

The sister looks to her brother with a slightly raised eyebrow, "rather stereotyping aren't we brother?" the Amazo male nods as he counters. "However not untrue if one thinks of her DNA and physical appearance."

"Appearances can be deceiving. Dr. Minerva happens to be rather well respected in her own ways, if not willing to take risks. Commendable, even with the preconceived dangers." The Question said, as he walked over, and glanced her up and down.

"Knowing your tastes, I can see why this was the one who followed." He added.

Bruce just glares only for Cheetah to now get her bearings and finally asks, "Wait! wait! WAIT! Can someone explain what is going on and why Bruce Wayne is dressed as batman and is sitting with the justice league?"

Cheetah stayed silent before she really looked around as she said, "Ok im in a theater which looks to be modeled after the TCL Chinese movie theater in Hollywood." Her gaze turns to Bruce as the gears in her head turn until finally she asks, "your batman? Bruce Wayne is Batman? I FRENCHED BRUCE WAYNE!?" She exclaims at the end of her rambles as her mind, as genus as it is, short circuits a bit.

"YOU WHAT!!!!!!!!" Wonder Woman shouted.

"It was to ensure the success of a mission." Batman explained.

"You sly dog." John said, smirking.

"When we leave, you are going to tell me everything, or else, you will be feeling Amazon's wrath."

Cheetah after finally recovering glares at Wonder Woman and with a raised voice says, "OH NO YOU DONT! I kissed him first!" She then turns her glare at Bruce and says with a final tone in her voice. "As for you Mister Wayne, don't you think you can just treat me like a one night stand!" After which Cheetah sits down on Bruce's left side, snaking her arm around his she says with a smile. "Because like it or not, your stuck with this big cat." Hawkgirl with a ghost of a smile says, "Guess it helps that you have a kid with him."

Cheetah turned, slowly, the sounds of stone grinding against stone as she turned could almost be heard as she faced Hawk Girl and basically materialized next to her with how fast she moved.

"You will explain what you have just said and you will tell me immediately." Cheetah said, in a low gruff voice as she grabbed Shiera's shirt and pulled her in, their faces nearly pressing against each other.

"We will have time for that in a bit. But, I think the twins have something they want to show you." The Question said, stepping in to separate the pair of women with animal features, separating the biologist from the warrior.

"Now let's offer you a choice." the female Amazo said.

"You can stay, and learn more." The male Amazo said.

"Or leave, and begin your preparations." the other finished.

"Learn more, or begin your work to prepare for the future." The Question said, "A rather interesting situation to be placed in."

The Amazos stood on each side of the Question, as he stood, his hands in his pockets. The Androids snapped and the doors to the back opened.

Cheetah thought before asking, "what does she look like? My future daughter? Is she happy?" Her voice wasn't demanding; it was more maternal with a slight hint of concern.

"Colonel Catrina Wayne-Minerva. A part of the Federation Fleet. Distinguished Service medal awarded after the First Battle of Saturn, getting her fast-tracked into Officer School. Now she commands the 4th Federation Fleet. Popular among the population, has been a rather strong asset, both in morale of those in the field, and has been a popular recruiter among populations.

Favorite meal is tuna melt with cheese.

Measurements are 34, 32, 36

She's a Libra." The Question said, being oddly specific.

You could hear a record scratch as everyone stares at the enigma that is the Question as Clark, superman, says with slight concern in his voice. "That is...pretty in depth information into one of Bruce's daughters."

"That was a rather shallow report, on my part. They keep a good amount of info on her covered, Unlike Connor Kent-Luthor, who has a rather long wrap sheet of places he is banned from, and property damage charges. He has also failed his advancement tests in the army 5 times, and has been kicked out of the other branches due to anger issues.

Connor Kent-Luthor, lead singer in the heavy metal band: Vambrace " Question explained.

Superman WAS enjoying a glass of water before he spits said water out and starts coughing, while Lex stares wide-eyed as he says slowly. "I'm sorry, Kent-Luthor?" Trying to make sure he heard this man right.

Luthor wiped the spit water off of himself.

"I am glad you are depowered or else I feel that my skin would be pressure washed off. With a rather unexpected nature. Is this from a timeline where Clark was adopted by my family, or is it a case of ''I died after marrying Miss Lane, and she took my last name." Lex said

The female twin answers, "I'm afraid not. However the way in which young superboy became both yours and mister Clarks son is once again a spoiler." She says with a hint of amusement as the glare she was getting from Lex.

The Amazo twins, and the Question all vanished, before it was said across the entire room, the doors shutting.

"Please, take your seats. The viewing of the next short film will commence shortly." the male Amazo said.

Soon without much fuss, outside of an Amazon princess glaring at a cheetah woman for whom both are holding onto Bruce's arms, everyone waited for what was to come as the lights dimmed.

The screen came to life as the words "Why did you enlist?" Faded in before a chair came into view, followed by more words faded in, "Many enlist in the Federal Army for many a reason, but now we ask them why they enlisted.'' as the sounds of footsteps are heard.

The screen faded to show a soldier in uniform

Few recognized, until Batman spoke up, "Dick?" He asked.

"I joined early on into the war. After everything that happened, Gotham was basically Stalingrad, so when resistance cells formed, I joined up. I knew the routes around the place. both above and underground enough that I was useful. Besides.....after.....After Bruce was....., I....I....I couldn't just stay in Wayne Manor.....it was....it was hard, I needed to do something."

Bruce felt a stab at his heart hearing Dick's pain at the last sentence. Lex however figured out that Grayson was the Boy Wonder after Bruce revealed himself, but was slightly pleased at seeing he was alright.

Dick soon collects himself as he continues. "The other reason I enlisted was because I had two little sisters coming." He said with a smile as photos are seen of Dick in uniform with a black beret on as he is seen at first with Cheetahs birth of her daughter, and then Dianna, even fade to more than a few Christmases, birthdays, and just Dick smiling as the girls grow up. "I was in a sense the man of the house and while both my step moms gave me grief. I felt I had a responsibility to help provide for my little sisters and be in a sense not just a big brother to them, but also a father figure like Bruce was to me." He said with the voice of someone who was tired, but would continue to work through that tiredness if it meant providing for their family.

Diana and Cheetah both gave small smiles at seeing the young man stepping up to fill the role of a father for their daughters. Bruce himself gave a smile while nodding his head with pride at his protege, no, his son.

Clark just looks at Bruce and gives a small smile. "You raised him good, Bruce."

Bruce looked to Clark and once again nodded. "I know....I see that now.....I wish I just saw it sooner." He said, returning his attention to the screen.

Dick laughs a little as he says to the unseen interviewer, "what would he think of me if he was still around? He would probably be disappointed at the fact I'm a soldier." He then gets a far away look on his face as a small smile formed on his face. "Although a larger part of me believes he would be proud that I stepped up to make sure our family didn't fall apart and that my sisters grew up healthy, happy, and loved." He said as soft drums could be heard playing.

Hawkgirl perks up at the sound of the drums. "Seems we'll be listening to another song, I wonder if it's any different from the last one." She says.

Bruce had a small smile at Dicks words as he says, "He would be right at being upset that he would choice the path he has, but i would never hate him for doing what would be needed to help raise my daughters, his sisters, should anything happen to me and i was unable to be apart of their lives."

Luthor speaks up. "From what I've seen you've raised a fine young man Mr. Wayne, you should've expected that he'd be there for you after all those years you were there for him." He says.

Soon the screen fades to Dick now in full parade uniform with his beret on, a bullpup style rifle resting on his left shoulder with a bayonet affixed to it at the end. Marching to the drum beat among what seem like thousands of other Federation Army Forces, with the rank of Captain clearly seen on his uniform, as they turn to see a podium raised with what look to be military officials and with a order given him and many of his fellow brothers & sisters in arms, be they human, meta, Atlantean, Martian, or even the rare few Amazon, give a proud and strong salute as they pass the podium.

General Wade whistles. "That's one hell of a parade." He says. John smiles at the screen thinking back to his early days in training, the marching brought back good memories from his time in the Marines. Hawkgirl continued to watch the scene with interest while tapping her foot to the drum.

Dianna couldn't help but smile, "what is that rank he has?" Wade smiled as he answered her. "Those two bars means he's a Captain, and judging by the way he's outfitted in that parade uniform I'd say he's Army infantry."

Bruce frowns slightly, however Dianna just had a smile as she looks at her future step son. Again her feelings were confused towards Bruce, however as time went on and she learned more about the future, she couldn't help but think that maybe she would like to have a family with him.

The drums continued to build until finally the scene cuts to Dick now in a full combat uniform which was green armor, with a full seal helmet, olive drab uniform under the armor. His rifle held tight in his grasp with its Bayonet attached to the end as he and many others were now seen in a trench with laser bolts flying overhead.

"I've got the reach and the teeth of a killing machine!"

''With the need to bleed you when the light goes green!''

Soon an officer yells as the entire trench line climbs over the top as they rush towards the enemy line which is seen to be the reach who is firing energy weapons at them, but that isn't stopping them as the regular human infantry isn't only supported by armor and what look to be war robots, but also their meta-human comrades and Martian comrades. With Dick waving his arms in a forward motion urging them to continue forward.

"Best believe, I'm in a zone to be!"

''From my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze"

Dick only stops when he pushes a fellow soldier out of the way of an incoming laser bolt before sending a burst of rifle fire down range killing the reach sniper. Pulling his downed comrade up they continue the push to the enemy.

John was coughing his drink as the tone of what they were seeing went full 180, "HOLY MOTHER MARY JOSEPH!" His mind was racing at the information pouring from the screen they were seeing, yes it was one thing to see trench warfare being conducted in the future from a new report is one thing, but to see it with your own eyes and a boy who is all but Bruce's son in everything but blood FIGHTING in it was a whole other thing all together.

Diana was shocked at the sight. She has done her research on man's world and its wars, many of them shocked her to her core. And seeing her, possibly, stepson in Frontline combat against an alien race brings her to worry about her future daughter's life. Hawkgirl was speechless as she watched the battle rage on, she also knew of Humanities wars against itself but seeing actual human soldiers fighting against the reach made her feel a sense of.....fear.

Luthor was watching the scene, no he was analyzing it. He sees that humanity's war torn past may be the edge it needs against intergalactic threats, however such a past does not stand a chance against a galactic tyrant believing himself to be a god.

Dick continues to rush forward only stopping as he sees a Reach Laz cannon nest, sending bolts of red energy at the advancing armor, the main purpose seems to keep the metas from using their powers. So with a quick breath he lays his rifle on a broken bit of wall and lines up his shot in hopes of taking out the emplacements gunner.

"Put a grin on my chin when you come to me!"

"'Cause I'll win, I'm a one-of-a-kind and I'll bring death"

With his sight true he fires a burst into the next which kills the gunner, giving the time needed for a meta human soldier whose powers seem to be earth based, to send a boulder into the emplacement. With another victory under his belt he rushes forward to the trench firing at any Reach that gets between him and victory.

"To the place you're about to be!"

Entering into the trench Dick continues to fight with everything he has, even teaming up with his fellow infantrymen as they kill their way deeper into the enemy trench, even switching to his shovel as he bashes or cuts into any reach unlucky to be within swinging distance. Staring down at the ground which was now covered in both the blood of his comrades and Reach.

"Another river of blood runnin' under my feet!" An explosion gets his attention as he snaps back to life and rushes forward after getting his weapon back.

Cheetah stares in shock at the battle. "Such bloodshed.....is this really what my....our daughters will go through in the future?" She asks, looking for the twins.

John just chuckles, "Hell even in the future, the trusty shovel will always save your ass when you need a weapon." Wade nods. "Couldn't agree more with you Marine and the Captain here seems to be a very effective soldier."

Clark just stares at the screen with a look of sadness on his face. To him, the league was meant to protect humanity from a future such as the one they're seeing now.

Soon a flashback is seen of Gotham in ruins with Aliens ships overhead bombarding the city, Anti Air fire filling the skies, and a young Dick running with other resistance fighters with an AK in hand.

"Forged in a fire lit long ago!"

Dick looks back and among them leading this band is Bruce who has a rifle as well as he nods to everyone else, setting up for what looks to be an ambush.

"Stand next to me, you'll never stand alone!"

Dick breathes clearly scared as Bruce just lays a hand on his shoulder and nods, another hand lands on his left shoulder as he looks to see Cheetah also smiling but has what looks to be an RPG on her back. Giving a nod back they all prepare for the ambush.

Bruce goes wide eyed seeing himself on screen and the state of his beloved Gotham in absolute anarchy, worse a warzone, He couldn't bare to even look at guns since that horrible night as a child when he lost everything and yet there he was clear as day holding a rifle and encouraging Dick to move on. Cheetah stared at herself on screen, questioning how long the conflict has been going on. Hawkgirl squints her eyes at the fighting in the sky; the humans are firing at ships that are very familiar to her but she couldn't be sure. The others in the audience continue to watch as the Batman on screen instructs Cheetah to line up the RPG she has with their target.

Diana with a caught breath says, "the lyrics...they're...they're saying." It hurt to see her step son in such a state and was now screaming in her head 'WHERE WAS I!? WHY WASNT I THERE!?' Only for John to finish. "You fought alongside him, he never stood alone because he had his father and one of his mothers there with him along the way."

Clark just continues to stare at the screen in sadness, seeing the state Gotham is in, it begins to fills his head with terrible imagery of what Metropolis might look like in this future, what would Smallville look like....how many of the people he cares about most could be dead, murdered at the hands of those he's sworn to defend Humanity from. He puts his head into his hands. "How do we stop this?" He asks no one in particular.

Wade says what the twins told them before, "We learn. We learn from this future and we prepare for the coming fight with everything we got."

Clark brings his head back up and looks at the General. "And if that fails, then what?"

John answers for the general, "you forget superman, humanity has never been one to back down from a fight, and if what we're seeing is true then we are showing every alien SOB with a big ego why NOT to start a fight with humanity."

With smoke fired from Cheetahs RPG it cuts back to Dick now pushing forward in an alien city as he leads his men to what looks to be a reach command center.

"I'm last to leave, but the first to go!"

"Lord, make me dead before you make me old!"

Peeking his head around a corner a member of his team pushes him down as they save him from a sniper's bolt, which the where the shot came from was replied with a hail of bullets. Dick now upset and shouts orders as they move forward to their objective.

"I feed on the fear of the devil inside!"

"Of the enemy faces in my sights!"

Dick is seen giving what looks to be orders for a fire mission into his helmet as it cuts to massive cannons with teams of strength based meta humans loading up shells to send some steel rain down range.

John couldn't help but whistle, "Now those are some big guns!"

Luthor studies the meta humans and their weapons they utilize in their current conflict. "Their weapons are impressive, however using ballistic weapons against a foe armed with energy weapons does seem to be a poor decision, how is it that Humanity hasn't designed their own infantry based energy weapons?" He asks.

Wade huffs, "energy based weapons would be good and fancy don't get me wrong, but they're expensive and lack the punch a good ole fashion rifle does. Imagine if the enemy has a shield system which is based around energy weapons and not ones that are using bullets." He says to lex.

Luthor chooses not to respond, instead putting his full attention back to the screen studying the various weapons and Meta Humans being shown fighting against the Reach. "Hmm....I'm guessing it was the Reach that invaded Earth, perhaps a retaliation against Humanity for their Exodus from our world?" He says to himself.

Soon the cannons raise up as the fire mission is ready, Dick looks back to the reach command post and with a grin he breathes.

"Aim with the hand, shoot with the mind!" Dick yells into his helmet headset which causes the officer to yell at the line of cannons which opens a mighty salvo sending huge shells down range at the enemy.

"Kill with a heart like arctic ice." The Reach command center and everything within a five mile radius is engulfed in the shelling from their batteries, coming out from cover the soldiers of the federation cheer raising their weapons into the air as the mass of rubble and craters that was the enemy command center.

The screen now shifts to what looks to be a parade again as they are now marching down the road or riding on tanks as people of what look to be a colony wave at them as it seems the battles that were shown before were to help liberate the colony.

"I am a soldier and I'm marching on!" shouted the officers as the soldiers replied in kind.

"I am a warrior and this is my song!" The soldiers once again replied in kind with the chorus but with much vigor.

General Wade watched this future version of the Army, HIS ARMY, As they liberated a colony just like the army did France back in world war two. Much like those old G.i.s back then, these men and women were given a Hero's welcome from the local people. "All that fighting was to liberate one of our future colonies. Hot damn if that doesn't bring this old general pride in what the army turns into, and your boy played a key to its liberation Mister Wayne, hope you're proud of his achievement." He said with pride clearly heard In his voice.

Luthor was watching it all and for some was unusually quiet, but in his mind he was making plans, after all eventually the Military would need tech for them and Meta's needed work. So why not jump on this and go ahead and start the pre-work for those cannons and other thing that this Federation would need, because he had a gut feeling that while Clark would be remembered he would as well, his fondest wish would come true, a Legacy that would stand the test of time.

Bruce was silent, only to say. "I am General, I am."

Diana looked on at her future step-son and looked on him with pride on her face, while she did worry for him. But while she had a feeling that he would survive but even if he didn't, she knew that Elysium awaited her son, barring that she knew that her Cousin Ares would take Dick's soul to his side as a warrior.

The scene cut to a river on earth with a city directly in front, Then with out warning a Mech drop landing in the water, then another and another, until it showed a division worth of mech's dropping and then marching to the city to take it back.

"I bask in the glow of the rising war, lay waste to the ground of the enemy shore," It shows the mech's entering the city and firing all of their weapons at aliens in the shadow's,

"wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands I'll kill some more." It shows an enemy mech in the shadow of a building getting up after being hit, but the enemy mech gets hit by one of the friendly mechs from behind it.

It then shows the city being liberated as the people that were in hiding and those of the resistance cells come out to celebrate the liberation.

John was shocked for a second, a solid second as he shouted. "The army has war robots!?" If one could listen closely, you could hear a slight hint of envy.

General Wade looked more closely at the designs on the mech and then started laughing, "Son," he said looking at John "You might wanna look more closely, at a couple of those mechs have a Marine Corps camo pattern son!"

John looked at the mechs and saw what the general saw and gave a belly laugh of his own, some of the mechs have the marking of the Second Marine Division, that unit had their own Devil Dogs.

Hawkgirl looked at the shadowed 'aliens' and could have sworn some had wings of her people, of course it could be her eyes playing tricks on her.

"Bullet in the breech and a fire in me, like a cigarette thrown to gasoline!"

The scene cuts back to Dick as he slams a new magazine into his rifle, the camera zooms in on the bolt as it closes, before he shouts as he runs forward with other forces of the federation army towards a line of reach bunkers. Supported by armor with guns blazing.

"if death don't bring you fear I swear, you'll fear these marching feet."

Alongside the regular tanks were more advanced war robots as they marched alongside the ground forces, firing their mounted weapons as they lay waste to the Reach defenders on what looks to be a tropical planet.

Cheetah was silent for a moment before she says mostly to herself. "Come home, you better come home." Now it could have been the cheetah DNA talking, but even with her conflicted feelings to all of this, she was honestly worried her future step son wouldn't make it home.

"Come home Dick, come home." was all Bruce was able to say to himself, he was worried for his son and he wanted him to come home safe and sound.

Clark was shocked, he should be used to what they have been shown, but he was still shocked at the future they have been shown. "How far does this war go? When will it end?" He asked worried about what earth and it's people have become.

General Wade said "Until the enemy surrenders, Superman, because nothing less than unconditional surrender we wouldn't accept." As he finished Wade had a hard look in his eye, one that spoke of not letting these bastards get away with just reparations, no he wanted them crippled.

The scene cuts to behind the line on the tropic planet, with shadows moving in the tree lines, before the moon comes out revealing them to be Federation Special Forces, made up of Martians, Metas, and Human Spec Ops.

"Come to the nightmare, come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be," It shows a Reach camp in the distance and the Federation men peeking at them with binoculars, scanning the men before finding their target, a Beetle. They nod at each other and fade into the jungle.

"in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth, where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps." It then shows them at night, sneaking into the enemy camp before coming upon the command tent and entering it, they stalk to the beetle and taking out one of their knives they cover his mouth and with a single motion slit his throat and then stabbing him in the chest two times before retreating into the dark of the jungle their mission accomplished.

Dianna had to do a spit take as she shouts. "WHAT AND WHO ARE THEY!?"

"Hot damn" General Wade said "Who are they and where can I get them!"

Bruce looks at the people on screen, he watches their movements and tactics as he says, "Special forces, or blackops. Their tactics look to be a mix of Delta and Green beret." He looks at the general. "That's my guess."

Lex looked at the Special Operations force on screen, "I have to agree with Bruce" he said "They have the hallmarks of both of those organizations."

John chuckles, "hey now. Don't you go and think my beloved corps is just a bunch of basic devil dogs, if anything I bet the raiders got an upgrade like the boys in green." He sends a cheeky grin towards General wade. "With respect of course sir."

General Wade looked at John, "I don't know Jarhead," he said with a teasing lit, "You know what they say about you Devil Dogs give ya'll new toys and they'll be wrecked before the weeks out."

John just laughs as he shakes his head as Dianna says confused. "Are warriors of your world always like this?" Bruce nods, "its friendly banter between the services. It's always been like that."

It shows the same tropical planet but in a different place, with the Spec Ops planting explosives in a rail system.

"Call to the gods if I cross your path and my silhouette hangs like a body bag;" It shows them pressing the button as a train passes over a ravine, sending the train and its contents plummeting to the bottom.

"hope is a moment now long past, the shadow of death is the one I cast." It them cuts to a lone Spec Ops sniper overlooking a town looking for his target, the snipers rifle being an Anti-Material rifle and threw his scope he looks out searching until he sees his target, a Beetle on the Deck of Fifty Two that command gave out, his target was the Ace of Hearts. He pulls the trigger and all the enemy hears is the crack of the rifle and the Beetle falling with a giant hole in her head.

John just whistles, "hot damn that was a shot! That had to have been at least over two thousand yard shot!" He was honestly impressed, whatever tech these future SF had was something even he would want for when he was in the service.

Clark looked horrified at what he was seeing, this...this wasn't what he wanted. This was horrifying to watch, to see the people he was supposed to protect do this, why did this have to happen why?!.....WHY?!

Dianna, while impressed with the skills of these warriors in black, looked at the cards and asked out loud. "What do the cards represent? Why do they have a deck of cards with the faces of their enemies?"

General Wade looks at Dianna, "those cards are what we give our officers and special forces to use to find high value targets to either kill or capture. We did it when Sodom Hussein was still in power and we still do it for hunting down terrorist."

The scene soon cuts to a parade as the Federation Army special forces are seen marching in dark uniforms rocking red berets, in the left hand resting on their shoulders were more advanced bullpup rifles.

"I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song." The chorus sung as the SF turned and saluted the leadership present.

"My eyes are steel and my gaze is long, I am a warrior and this is my song." The chorus sung as the people present were waving at them passing by but they kept steeled faces as they marched in the parade.

"Now that is some damn fine soldiers" General Wade said

John nods in agreement. "That they are." Hawk girl was now nervous at what happen to cause this future. 'Was it my people? Was it another faction that caused this?' Those were the questions that racked in her brain.

The scene shifts once again showing a graduation of cadets, and in the crowd was Bruce's daughters looking at one boy in particular, who answered when the man called out for Cadet Damian Wayne.

"Now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief, and the least of me's still out of your reach." The young man in question walked up and shook his hand, he turned his head and saw his sisters cheering him on.

"The killing machine's gonna do the deed, until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves." The scene shows Damian and his sisters after the graduation hugging their little brother, and congratulating him.

Both Dianna and Cheetah had to do a spit take as they both looked at Bruce and said at once with either anger or rage, depending how one takes it. "WHO ELSE DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH!?"

Bruce had an inkling of who Damian's mother was and he wisely did not voice his suspicion when he said "I don't know", but he said it a little too quickly to be believed by both women on his side

Cheetah just raised a single finger with a claw poking out and aimed it at Bruce's face and said with a deep growl. "We WILL be talking after this." She sat back down as Dianna nodded in agreement.

Lex chuckles as he whispers "and the Harem Grows."

"Chin in the air with a head held high, I'll stand in the path of the enemy line." Damian is now seen in full combat gear along side others on what looks to be a bayonet range as he has his rifle resting in his hands with the bayonet on the end of his rifle.

"Feel no fear, know my pride: for God and Country I'll end your life." It then shows Damian and the others charging at the sandbags charging them, and screaming their war cry's all the while they plunge their bayonets deep into the bayonet targets.

John couldn't help but have a huge grin as he shouts, "THAT'S IT! LET THEM HEAR YOUR WAR CRY!" before he laughs abit.

"HAHA" General Wade Laughed and cried out "That's right boys SHOW THEM NO MERCY!"

Dianna was shocked, yes she had spear training as any amazon did, but to see such training be given to soldiers was a slight shock to her.

The scene shifted again to the Parade and it showed all of the People in the Federations Forces, it shows humans, Metas, Green and White Martians. An officer on the podium called out "I am a soldier and I'm marching on, I am a warrior and this is my song."

All of the soldiers marching called out "My eyes are steel and my gaze is long, I am a warrior and this is my song."

You could hear all of the people around them cheer as they all marched on, a smile of pride on the marching soldiers faces.

As the screen darkens, white text appeared, "Dedicated to brave forces of the Federation Army. For they are those who shall always answer the cries of those oppressed, for they are all they can be." the words fade away.

"The call of freedom was once synonymous with the United States of America, we always would answer the call, but when those Aliens invaded, when they killed our people, when those cowardly traitors in the government sold us out. The call of Freedom became synonymous with all of Humanity, for now and forever we all shall answer the call." General Augustus Wade, Veteran of the Federation and General of all forces on the Home planet Earth.

As the screen finally shut off and the lights come on everyone could see a stunned General Wade, "I. I don't know what to say." was all he could say as this world's history made him out to be a hero like many of history's greatest generals.

John just looks at the general as he says with honesty, "if i may say sir, you should feel honored that your other self is remembered as a hero."

Amazos voice was heard as he says, "indeed, not all heroes wear capes i believe is how the saying goes isn't it sister?" He says to his female twin as they are now seen in front of everyone.

"Indeed brother" came the response from his sister.

Amazo nods as he looks at everyone, "as before we shall answer one question, only one so you must choose wisely." He said to everyone gathered and as they pondered on the question, two certain women shouted at the same time their question.

"WHO IS DAMIAN WAYNES MOTHER!!" They both shouted out at the same time.

Amazo not phased by the shouting looked at his sister, "well i shouldn't be surprised they ask that question, it is rather a shock to know that Bruce has more than just his daughters."

"True Brother, I was rather shocked as well" came from the Female Amazo.

"GET TO THE FUCKING POINT!!" Both of them shouted at the same time once more.

"To answer the question" Amazo said non pulsed by the two angry women "His mother is Talia al Ghul, daughter of Ra's al Ghul"

Both said angry women slowly turned to Bruce who is now sweating slightly as he calmly says, "now let's all try and-" only for two pairs of hands to grab his arms as both say, "we WILL BE TALKING About this when we have the chance." All Bruce could do is just nod slowly and pray his skills could save him.

John chuckles as he says to himself, "it's like I'm a man dying of thirst looking at a man drowning."

Amazo nods as he says, "funny you should say that John, for the next viewing will about yours and Hawkgirls son and Bruces and Diannas daughter."

Hawkgirl was much louder as she said with a slight blush under her mask, "WHAT! OUR SON!?" Not that she was opposed to the idea, but with her engagement with another and her feelings for John. She was EXTREMELY Conflicted right now.

Amazos sister nods, "Yes." Both John and Hawkgirl asks at the same time, "HOW!?"

"That my dear would be spoilers" Amazo said.
