The Thanagarian ship looked like something out of the classic Star Trek series, and the half dozen wingmen like some villains in a superhero movie blockbuster with CGI. While in simulated space nobody could hear the hero or his telepathic banter in his mind as he went after the enemies. Three of the wingmen were armed with alien energy rifles while the others had close range melee weapons. The Comet shot around and with his telekinesis grabbed two large asteroids from a nearby belt to take out the star cruiser. Somewhat like a pair of stone battering rams the hero’s power crushed the ship between the two asteroids. The Earthman used his power to amplify his strength and went in hard and fast to take down the other enemies one by one. He flew fast at one of the wingmen and extended his arm for a clothesline type of maneuver. With another pair of the Thanagarians in close proximity Comet went in with something of a combo taking swings and throwing punches and backhanded fists, all the while ducking attacks with Nth metal axes and spears. One of the wingmen armed with an energy rifle got a lucky shot off. Adam turned around and behind the wingman, that seemed to be waiting for a response, was once again the Weird. The wingman began to move again until the hero grabbed him and held him in place with his telekinetic power. 

[color=brown]“You can’t be real. Whoever that blue guy was waved his hand and you turned into dust in the cosmic wind. What the hell is wrong with me?!?”[/color] Adam Blake asked nobody in particular since the only ones still in the War Room were himself, the one holo-droid mimicking a wingman, and the ghost-like figure in black and red. 

[i][color=black]“I am real, Blake. I’m just not where I’m supposed to be. He manipulated reality… took powerful individuals off the board like chess pieces. We’re all in some… dark dimension…”[/color][/i] the ghost said before fading away. 

“THREE MINUTES REMAINING!” the intercom blared in what seemed like deep space. 

Adam finished off the exercise more confidently knowing that he wasn’t going crazy. The Weird WAS trying to contact him from some sort of limbo or dark dimension. Who else could the blue skinned man have ‘taken off the board’? It had happened months ago just before Adam came back to Earth and joined the League. Sooner or later he'd have to come clean about what he saw in space to the remaining Justice League founders. The red and black clad hero pondered as the War Room began to shift. Comet flew towards the exit nearest the control room. 

“HOSTILES ELIMINATED, TARGET OF OPERATION CLEARED. SYSTEM SWITCH TO STANDBY MODE!” the intercom announced as the surroundings faded and the gray walls with several openings were visible once again. When Adam checked the scoring system, he finished with 93% proficiency. Not bad, but he DID get caught off guard by the one rifle wielding enemy. Blake rolled his eyes walking towards the elevator after grabbing a small cup of water from the fountain. He needed to get one of these smart-phones he'd heard so much about since returning to his homeworld. If for nothing else to kill time. He stepped into the elevator and hit the button. It was nearing four thirty in the evening. It likely would be by the time he reached the first above ground floor of the headquarters. He used his telepathy to scan the area for anybody who may have come to the Tower since he went underground for the War Room exercise. At least one more Leaguer or reservist came to HQ. However at this point, Adam was thinking about using a teleporter to go back to Kansas and just fly over a few farms. It wasn't the 1930's anymore, but he still loved the smell of a good crop.
