Justice Station, Earth Orbit[/b][/center]

Custos floated slowly in his aquatic chamber aboard the Justice Station. It had taken a lot of convincing to get Grim to add the large, water-filled chamber to the station, but after the Atlantean Revolt, the former spy was happy to have somewhere to go. He could have found a place on the surface. Gotham, New York, Halifax. Even outside the shattered North America. There were countless coastal cities that could have used his help, and even scattered colonies of displaced Atlanteans who were still loyal to the missing king. But many of those places had heroes of their own, and none of them needed the skills of a displaced spy. He was lost, floating along in this strange new world like he was floating in the chamber which cradled him now.

A sudden, shrieking alarm sounded, bringing Custos back to the present and pulling him out of his melancholy. Rocketing towards the surface, he called the currents of the tank to bring him his mask, grateful that he was already in his suit. Fitting the tentacled mask to his face and breaking the surface of the tank, Kraken examined a nearby monitor. Nuclear threat, coming up through the atmosphere of the earth. Heading straight for the station. Unknown origin, the tracking systems of the Station were having trouble pinning it to any known launch site. It was coming in impossibly fast, Kraken braced himself for an impact... 

Nothing. No explosion, no impact, no breach. Wasting no time, Kraken took off down a hallway, looking for a viewport to try and see the direction the threat had come from. Did it miss? Did the warhead fail? Or... Kraken came to a halt outside one of the interior airlocks, glimpsing a view of the outside. There was a [i]man[/i] out there. Knocking on the airlock. Another alarm sounded, different this time. Proximity alert. Something else was coming in. A familiar flash of Emerald light, bringing a disbelieving laugh to Kraken's lips and a swell of joy to his heart. There was a Lantern out there! Quickly, Kraken keyed on his communicator, sending out a broadband message to all the League members. 

[color=LightSeaGreen]"This is Kraken, calling in League support to the Station. We have a potential situation, some kind of Nuclear Man literally knocking at our door. And we have some other company as well. Green Lantern inbound, hopefully with some good news for us. Anyone who can get here, I recommend doing so."[/color]
