Near where the fight was happening Grodd began to wake up.  The first thing he remembered was the Flash saving his life.  He was probably going to throw Grodd in prison, but Grodd preferred that to whatever the burning-skull man was doing to him.  "How dare you attack me." Grodd said.  He roared and ran at the man in leather.

"No, Grodd!" the Flash yelled as he got close enough and swung a giant fist at the skull-man's skull, intending to shatter it.

"Uh, sure," said Hal to the White Lantern.  "I'm Hal, by the way.  If you don't mind, I'll take you straight there."  With that he turned upwards and accelerated.  After all, he nearly had to make escape velocity if he was going to meet the Watchtower in orbit.

About ten minutes later he arrived at one of the Watchtower's air locks.  He placed his eye near a scanner and, after verifying his identity, the door opened and he entered.  Once the airlock had pressurized he dropped his shield and activated his comms equipment.  "This is Hal.  I found a White Lantern flying around Earth.  I'm bringing him to the Atrium."  He looked at Deadpool and motioned for him to walk with him.  "So, you said something about a Titan named "Thanos"?  I'm not familiar with him."

There was a knock on the door of Oracle's former apartment and Kilgrave opened it to see the Joker standing there with three others.  He let them in, then addressed the Joker.  "So, I ask for slaves, and you bring me a cat-girl, a magician in a top-hat, and another clown."

"What?  Slaves?" the Shade said.  "I'm leaving."

"No, you're not.  You staying here until I tell you otherwise.  All of you are."  The Shade stopped moving, and looked at the Purple Man, scared now that he realized that he couldn't make himself leave.  "That's quite the power you have there, Mr....?"

"Kilgrave." he responded.  "but you will all call me by the alias "the Purple Man" when there's a risk of heroes or the public hearing you."  He turned back to the Joker.  "So, you were about to explain yourself?"

"Yes," responded the Joker.  "This "cat-girl" is an archeologist with magical powers, the Magician has the ability to generate darkness, and the clown... well, she's unpredictable just like me and would follow you even without the mind control just to work with me."

A portal opened up and Lex Luthor stepped out, followed shortly by Doom. "Cheetah, the Shade, and Harlequin.  It's not surprising that's the best you can do with the Joker doing your recruiting."  He looked at Kilgrave.  "Doom has already put some sort of spell on me to protect me from your mind control.  Don't worry, though.  As long as we're on track to end the Justice League, I'll be on your side just as loyally as if I wasn't immune to your power."  He looked around briefly.  "Now, not that this place isn't nice, but I've got a better hideout elsewhere in Gotham."  He told them where it was and, after they had gathered up everything of value and Doom had created a large crate with his ring to carry it all, Doom ordered Motherbox to open another portal and they stepped through to the new base.
