[b][i]The Justice League is getting older in 2020. While most of it's founding members are in their early to mid-forties, Superman himself still looks nearly the same he had a decade prior. The League had gone through several incarnations over the years. There were also splinter units like the Justice League of America and the JL United, as well as the JL Dark led by none other than John Constantine. In the year 2020 however, heroic metahumans are getting to be fewer and fewer. Most alien races that didn't appear to be human were often shunned by society, the now more alien Green Lantern from the planet Tandax was banned from Earth. The economy in the United States was still fighting a losing battle. Crime rates, especially metahuman crime, was up a record 120% from this time in 2010. Law Enforcement all began wearing more militaristic SWAT team style gear equipped with state of the art non-lethal AND lethal weaponry. Visually something resembling Robocop mixed with a little Judge Dredd just also packing riot gear. Some metahumans operating as heroes are not welcomed by all of the 2020 law enforcers. Only the League has been officially sanctioned by the President of the 'States: Clara Kendall. Young heroes have been 'sponsored' by the remaining members of the League to operate in[/i][/b] [hider= Star City] [img=http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/3/30334/1191224-jla5310.jpg][/hider] [b][i]the former home of the now deceased Green Arrow and one of the larger metropolitan cities with increased metahuman crime. Can the young heroes take back Star City from the grips of chaos and become full fledged members of the Justice League?[/i][/b] This game is a bit of an alternate future storyline, which is something DC Comics is attempting with their Future's End crossover. The only similarity being that in my future Green Arrow is dead, same as in Future's End.

Just over a week earlier he had discussed joining a team with other young heroes. Relocating to Star City wasn't part of the original pitch, but Ditto trusted Superman's word. The motley crew of heroes was just that. Vigilantes, legacy heroes, some were even siblings of other heroes. Kilian didn't know anyone really, in the week they had been a team they only managed to go up against a few Kobra agents and a guy with spliced DNA and abilities and traits like that of a walking talking snake man. Presently Ditto remained as one whole Carggite, lounging around the makeshift headquarters underneath what was once one of the buildings associated with Queen Industries. "You guys know there are more threats out there than the ones Batman and Superman tell us to take care of, right? We're not showing much initiative just hanging around the HQ..." Ditto said as he changed out of the civilian clothes provided for him and back into his battle-suit/superhero'ing attire. "Green Arrow used to take down tons of metahuman threats on a semi-regular basis. Solomon Grundy, Brother Blood, Count Vertigo, Shrapnel.... I'd give anything for an old man enemy of Arrow's to show..." Kilian began saying as he was interrupted by an alarm system activating throughout the underground HQ. "ALERT! ALERT! METAHUMAN ACTIVITY DISCOVERED IN A HOSTILE SITUATION ON THE CORNER OF MAIN STREET AND GRELL AVENUE.... REPEAT. ALERT! METAHUMAN ACTIVITY DISCOVERED IN A HOSTILE SITUATION ON THE CORNER OF MAIN STREET AND GRELL AVENUE.... REP..." the alarm system blared over the intercoms. "Should've kept my mouth shut...." Kilian thought to himself trying to find his black mask... One glance at the news footage being pulled up on the monitoring systems and holo-screens revealed the enemy to be a more experienced Icicle now in his late 20's. The second after his father, over the last few years Cameron Mahkent managed to kill the Atom's short term sidekick Molecule as well as become a charter member of the most recent Secret Society [of Supervillains]. Of course nobody suspects it of course, except for maybe Batman.... ~KL~
