Try as he might, Killgrave could not make it past even the first level of security on Barbara Gordan's computer.  It was password protected and, when he tried connecting the hard drive to a laptop a man a Best Buy "generously gave him for free", he found out that she had locked her own hard drive behind a password and a complex encryption. Clearly he was in over his head.  He'd have to find a slave to do it for him.

There was a strange sound, like blowing wind, behind him and he turned around to find [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/Doctor_Doom_Thor_Vol_1_600.png/250px-Doctor_Doom_Thor_Vol_1_600.png]a man in armor and a green cape[/url] who was wearing an orange ring similar to his own yellow ring.  "Doom." he said, sizing the man up.  "How fortuitous.  You're going to help me out."

"Doom works for no one, and your petty powers will not work on me." he said in a deep voice, "but if you have information that is of use, Doom will spare your life for the attempt at enslaving me."

"Impressive.  Not many people can resist me."  The Purple Man motioned to the computer.  "This computer belonged to a slave of mine that knew about my ring." he held up his hand to show the ring, "and probably yours as well.  The computer would contain more information, and everything we need to know about this world."

Doom walked by him and placed his hand on the keyboard.  Text scrolled across the screen faster than a human could read it and ten seconds later the computer let them access it.  Windows opened and closed on screen quickly.  "Orange lanterns," he said.  "Interesting.  I can create duplicates of my enemies to battle for me.  Useful."

There was a noise at the window and the two of them looked over to see a man in a purple suit with green hair and a white painted face.  "Good morning, gentlemen.  I heard someone else was occupying the place and thought I'd stop by to say hi."  He slipped the crowbar he was carrying into his jacket.

"I've already faced one of this world's "heroes".  She was strong, but no match for Doom." Doom said.

"You work for me now." said the Purple Man.  If Doom killed this clown he would lose a potentially valuable slave.

"Of course," the man in the purple suit said, seeming almost pleased by the "job offer".  "I'm the Joker.  Who do you want killed?"

"No one for now." Killgrave said.  "I need information."

"And more servants, if we are going to be at odds with this "Justice League"." Doom said.  He went back over to the computer and touched the keyboard.  "I need to find someone else who is intelligent enough to be useful as more than cannon fodder, and who has the resources to help us."

"Lex Luthor," the Joker and Doom said in unison.

Doom looked at the Joker.  "So you do do know enough to be useful.  I will go meet Lex Luthor and recruit him for our alliance." he looked at the Purple Man.  "Get us some muscle, in case they attack."  He pulled a brick-like device from his belt.  "Motherbox, send me to Metropolis."  The box beeped and a tunnel through space opened, which he stepped through.

"Nice.  I wouldn't mind having one of those."  Killgrave said.

"You want me to steal it from him?"

"No, he'd probably just kill us both for the attempt.  We'll have to find another one.  For now, I'll need you to find me some more slaves, just don't let them know that they are my slaves.  Bring them here.  I'll study the information on this computer."

The Joker nodded and climbed back out the window, onto the fire escape, as Killgrave sat down to study this new world.


[h3]Star City[/h3]

A man with a quiver on his back and a bow in his hand fired an arrow at Cupid, then leapt off the roof of a nearby building, spinning around and firing a grappling hook arrow into the side of the building, then letting himself down slowly. The woman move to fire at it but it popped open, revealing a boxing glove which hit her in the face, knocking her down.

Once on the ground he hit a button on the bow and the arrow disconnected from the wall, returning to him.  He put the arrow back in the quiver and turned around, revealing his blonde hair and goatee.  "So, we got another Green Lantern?  About time we got a woman.  Canary will be happy."  He walked forward and put out his hand.  "Green Arrow."

The female archer started to get up and Green Arrow grabbed another arrow, firing it at her feet.  The arrow stuck into the concrete and start releasing a fog.  "We'll talk later.  Follow me."  He fired the Grapling arrow again and pulled himself up tho the roof again, running towards the city's industrial zone by jumping from roof to roof.

[h3]Central City[/h3]

"Red Lantern?" the Flash said, noticing the ring.  A red lantern that was this angry could be too much for him to handle.  He tapped his earpiece.  "This is the Flash.  I need immediate backup.  There's a Red Lantern with some sort of magical powers."  He started running in circles around the man as he waited for backup.  It could take them almost a minute to get people down here, which to a speedster was an eternity.  Thankfully, a few seconds later someone joined him.  Another speedster in yellow.

"Hey Barry," Wally said, joining the now-forming cyclone beside Flash, and talking at super speed so that no one else would understand them or even hear them clearly over the wind.  "So, a Red Lantern. Today is not your day."

"Well, my morning workout was getting a bit boring.  Decided to spice it up.  So, you take high, I take low?"

"Works for me," Wally said, and they rushed him, Wally aiming at the burning skeleton's face and Barry sliding at his legs as if he was a baseball player sliding into a base.
