>>6349459As you look at him, at this being, suddenly you have an idea. And with a thought and moment of focus, you activate your Dark Gaze. Staring down at him, watching Ra's al Ghul's eyes narrow slightly as he no doubt sees the change in your eyes.
“Ra's al Ghul. Why did you create a construct as potentially destructive as Amazo?” you ask him, meeting his gaze. “And why did you deploy it against the Justice League?”
“Why did I create a weapon? The same reason anyone creates a weapon. The same reason you train your body so diligently.” he says, you not sensing any deception from him as he stands tall, hands going behind his back. Standing like Lord Beerus does, surprisingly enough. “To enforce my will, and to prevent others' will from being enforced upon me.”
“Then why did you send it to attack the Justice League?” Ubo suddenly shouts, taking a step forward. Talia, presumably, reaches behind her back for something. But is stopped as Ra's raises a hand casually, dismissively. “That monster nearly killed Superman!”
“It would not have killed him. I merely sent it as a... Test run. Once it had rendered all of you so-called heroes unconscious, the android was to return here with all of its combat data.” Ra's says, unshakably cool in his demeanor. “But it would seem our otherworldly friends are never more than a blink away. And, before you ask why I hadn't sent a warning before, well. If you knew that machine wasn't there to destroy you all, would you have fought it so intensely? Pushed it past the breaking point, and showing me the weaknesses of the design? Speaking of, it was a clever move, by Plastic Man. His abilities are the most... Troublesome to plan for.”
“Wait wait wait. You rebuilt that android Amazo? The one that nearly killed the League back when Lex found it?” Red Hood asks, sounding shocked and more than a little horrified.
“No, at least, not the same level as that godly machine. The late Doctor Ivo's nanotechnology is something I do not have access to. Lex does not keep any physical records of that tech he discovered, leaving it only within his own mind as he's destroyed every physical trace of Ivo's nanotechnology research.” Ra's al Ghul says, shaking his head. “No, I was forced to re-engineer it with what knowledge and records I could discover from Ivo's collaborators and friends. As well as help from another source, who has also gained access to a different, but still impressive cyber technology. Allowing me to create lesser, but still powerful androids based off of the Amazo framework. All to do what you so-called heroes cannot do: protect this world.”
“What?” Ubo asks, tone a mix of offended, curious, and insulted. “What do you mean by that?”
