Watchtower.
Lowest sublevel.
As the hatch opened, Clark and Shazam supported the weakened Scott as they headed toward the top floor.
"Thank you for saving me. You're good people!"
Scott looked at his wound. It had originally been torn open by the Omega Beams fired from Darkseid's eyes, blood pouring out nonstop.
But after being cauterized by Clark's Heat Vision, the wound had closed, and even the bleeding had stopped.
"No need to thank us. I believe you would've done the same if our positions were reversed." Clark wore a gentle smile, nearly moving Scott to tears.
He hadn't misjudged them after all. The Justice League was full of noble people!
Supported by Clark, the three of them entered the elevator together. It rose upward, heading for the highest floor.
"They're back."
On the top floor of the hall, Jino rested his chin on his hands and stared at the elevator doors in the distance.
As the doors opened, Scott and the others came into everyone's view.
"He's wearing armor. He looks like an alien?"
Barry's eyes immediately fell on Scott, his face full of surprise.
Lex, meanwhile, focused more on the man's armor. As a top scientist, he could tell that the suit contained impressive technology, and he found himself wanting to study it.
"Thank God, I finally found you!"
Unlike the others' probing gazes, Scott was incomparably excited.
God knew how terrified he had been when facing Darkseid. Now, he had finally found his saviors.

Scott fixed his eyes on the young man seated at the head of the long table.
Beneath that golden hair was a handsome face. A pale finger tapped rhythmically against the tabletop, while those azure eyes studied Scott with scrutiny, making cold sweat break out all over him.
