As Black Adam gripped Supergirl’s throat, they continued to fly up higher, Scarlet Beacon trailing close behind. He noticed her eyes begin to glow red in preparation for a heat vision attack, and right as she unleashed it, he spun her around so that the rays hit Conner instead, who had just caught up to them. 

[color=Firebrick][i]“Ah!”[/i][/color] the boy screamed out, falling a few feet in the sky before he caught himself again. Black Adam then used his control of Kara’s blood to put pressure on the glands in the back of her eyes that triggered her heat vision, causing her to blast Scarlet Beacon a second time at full power. He yelped out again and began rocketing towards the ground, unconscious. 

Meanwhile on the ground, Nightwing responded to Beast Boy. [color=DodgerBlue]“No, you should wait until we can send multiple people down there. If one person goes against them alone, Psimon would be free to put someone in a Mind Trap without worry of anyone attacking his own body. Psychics like him should always be dealt with by larger groups. That is - [i]whoa![/i] Bout time you made an appearance!”[/color]

Dick chuckled and looked up as he saw Raven’s Soul-Self appear, the giant foot coming down. The asphalt was already weakened from the Shazam blast earlier, and now it cracked out in every direction, causing the two speedsters to skid to a stop before hitting the now-uneven surface. This gave Kid Flash the perfect opening to kick Reverse-Flash’s leg hard enough to break his bone so that he couldn’t run anymore. 

[color=Khaki][i]“Arrghh![/i] You little [i]shit!”[/i][/color] Thawne growled as he fell to one knee. 

[color=DarkOrange]“What? You’ll heal in [i]no-time.[/i] Preferably [i]after[/i] you’re back in prison! Nighty-night!”[/color] Wally then unleashed a flurry of rapid-fire punches to the villain’s face that caused him to drop down, unconscious. 

Back up in the sky, Black Adam was startled for a moment as Raven’s giant Soul-Self hand attempted to smack him, but he flung Supergirl in the way so it got her instead. The impact sent her flying towards a park down the street. [color=Khaki][i]Astral projection of some kind? That means the caster must be nearby…[/i][/color] the villain thought to himself as he scanned the area. 

[color=Khaki][i]“Aha![/i] I [i]found[/i] you!”[/color] he cried out maniacally as he spotted a young girl on the roof of the Hall of Justice - or what was left of it. He immediately dove out of the sky towards her, powering up lightning blasts in each hand as he dodged subsequent swipes of her Soul-Self. 

Down in the tunnel underneath the Hall, the four other villains stood before a high-tech vault door of some kind, arguing with each other as they tried to figure out how to get inside. 

[color=Khaki]“I told you, it’s resistant to my powers,”[/color] Shimmer was explaining in an irritated tone. [color=Khaki]“Whatever this material is, I can’t transmute it.”[/color]

[color=Khaki]“Well none of my tech is working either,”[/color] Gizmo whined. 

[color=Khaki]“And my knuckles still hurt from trying to smash it,”[/color] added Mammoth. 

[color=Khaki]“Well, we’ve got to figure out [i]something,”[/i][/color] Psimon groaned, hands on his temples. [color=Khaki]“I’m just here to back you up. It’s [i]your[/i] job to find a way in there!”[/color]

The four of them continued bickering when suddenly a shadowy portal appeared and Static stepped out. The new arrival gave a bit of a long-winded speech and then fired a blast of electricity which subsequently turned into butterflies. 

[color=Khaki]“Foolish boy,”[/color] Psimon laughed, walking towards him. The teen hero suddenly found that he could not move at all - he was frozen in place. [color=Khaki]“Here’s a bit of advice for the future. [i]One[/i] - don’t ever go up against a psychic on your own. With no one down here to back you up and divide my attention, I can focus entirely on [i]you.[/i] And [i]two[/i] - if you [i]do[/i] go up against someone like me all by your lonesome, attack [i]right away.[/i] Your little speech gave me ample time to reach into your mind and trap you in an illusion, so that when you finally did attack, it was only a figment of your imagination. You see, I don’t need to ‘tell you what to do,’ I just need to preoccupy you for a bit!”[/color]

Suddenly, the world around Static cracked away like broken glass, and he found himself standing on a gameshow stage with people laughing. Their hysteria became downright frightening as they began ripping away their flesh, revealing skeletons with bell-shaped skulls. The world cracked away yet again and the teen was now in some kind of demonic hellscape, the laughter growing more disturbing, people banging their bell-skulls together, eerie chimes filling the air, monsters climbing out of the ground, etc. 

Back in the real world, Static had fallen to the ground, twitching and seizing as his eyes stared wide-open at the ceiling, his mouth agape in a silent shriek. Psimon stood over him, maintaining the illusion while the other three continued trying to access the vault.
