A man with dark hair walked past the throne room in the aquatic castle of Atlantis’ royal family and glared as he passed the empty throne. His brother, the half breed dubbed ‘Aquaman’ the the surface world, was out among the people again in the domed inner-city. No doubt to take his mind off of the fact his oldest child Mareena had ventured into the surface world on her own vision quest. When Orm made it to his quarters in the castle, he used his Atlantean magics to open a sort of window to the ruler of the kingdom of Xebel. If it wasn’t clear enough that he was from Xebel, his trident was made of hardened water itself. The people of Xebel, like Queen Mera, were water benders.


<<“The king will be voyaging to Tritonis to visit the ruler of the mermen in half of a cycle. The surface dwellers have poisoned the princess’ mind. Your armies can go in from the west, and ours from the east. When we close off their main ports they will have no choice but to surrender Mareena.”>> Orm, aka the Ocean Master to the surface world, informed the longer haired king.

<<“Arthur is a coward to not go after his child himself. Just because the surface dwellers accepted him with open arms doesn’t mean his daughter shall be as well. If the wrong air breather learned the secrets of the Seven Kingdoms…”>> King Nereus began in response before being interrupted.

<<“Arthur’s connection to the surface dwellers is a threat to the security of Atlantis and her people. He MUST be dethroned before he sets us back another three hundred years…”>> Orm continued as a crab stepped through his quarters. Knowing the creature could inform the king of what he’d observed Orm crushed the crustacean under his boot.

Batman’s team had finally begun to look like a team. With the recent additions to the group the now completed Tower didn’t seem as empty. And with Sideways’ teleporting powers the team didn’t even need the teleporter tech of the JLU, however they DID still have it at their disposal. Batman had been down in his back again. In the League’s last battle with the Thanagarians back in 2017 Bruce Wayne’s back had become a problem after taking injuries fighting a dozen or so wingmen in close range and exhausted. If not for the exo-suit he’d probably already be wheelchair bound. If not for his suit detecting the energies of the dark multiverse, Batman might have been surprised by the sudden emergence of the aforementioned Sideways this early in the morning..

“So Bats? Can I call you Bats?” Sideways started enthusiastically like he was still a rookie, “Are we still recruiting? And… by chance do you want like… an OFFICIAL sidekick? Not just somebody else running around with a bat on their chest and no relation to you?”

“We’re ALWAYS recruiting. And no, I’m not looking for a sidekick. In Gotham I work alone.” Batman replied continuing to walk the perimeter. What he didn’t realize, however, was that radio waves were being jammed and he was completely oblivious to the invading forces of Atlantis. They had already sent a unit to check out the small island where the Titans’ Tower stood.

Robotman was powered down in his quarters. The Amazons’ champion Naomi was also still resting in her quarters after late night training with a few of the other female heroes among the League’s ranks. The Comet, aka Adam Blake, was working the Monitor Room when he got a call from Batman on the west coast.

“This is a red alert, Atlantis is attacking San Francisco. Requesting League assistance…” Batman asked in a live video feed. 

Alerts and holo-screens began going off and lights began to flash in the Justice League’s headquarters. Coast City on the west coast, as well as Metropolis and Hub City were being attacked. The government’s Navy and Air Force bases as well as Coast Guard were immobilized by what looked like giant sea monsters and men and women warriors began coming up out of the oceans. 

“THIS IS JUSTICE LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS! WE ARE RED ALERT, REPEAT, WE ARE RED ALERT! REQUESTING ALL ACTIVE AND RESERVE MEMBERS TAKE ACTION! THIS IS NOT A DRILL! COAST CITY, SAN FRANCISCO, METROPOLIS, AND HUB CITY ARE ALL BEING INVADED BY ATLANTIS! I REPEAT… THIS IS JUSTICE LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS!” Comet sent out a psychic link to all of the heroes and metahumans presently in the League’s database. Members, non-members, reserves, anyone who was under the League’s eye. Some of them may not have even taken up a costume and identity. 

The only question on Batman’s mind out west: Where was Aquagirl?
