Metropolis.
The city bustled beneath the night sky.
Justice League Hall.
The murals in the corridor that had once displayed the Employee of the Month title had long since been removed.

Ironically, the Avengers had died because of that as well.
Poor Hulk had been killed instantly before he could even transform.
There was no need to think about those unlucky people anymore.

The blond young man still sat in the seat of honor, propping his chin up with one hand, his expression helpless.
There was no other reason. An argument had broken out in the hall.

The reason for their argument was simple.
Just minutes ago, after Jino's return and forceful resolution of the Crime Syndicate invasion, Owlman, Superwoman, and Johnny Quick had all been captured.
Owlman
