Everyone sees you backing away from the fight and immediately moves back, you seeing worry on several faces. But one man seems less concerned with the imminent battle than what's already going down, running over to you.
“Will stopping Darkseid stop the invasion?” he asks you, to which you shake your head.
“No, that's not even the real Darkseid, just some sort of avatar he's projecting into our realm.” you tell him, Batman's expression darkening. “But while Freeza fights, we need to stop the rest of this invasion. The more of these monsters we take down here, the less damage they can do.”
<span class="mu-s">KABOOM</span>
“Agreed. We cannot let these monsters roam unchecked.” the warrior woman says, immediately lifting up into the air and bisecting one of the creatures as Freeza and Darkseid begin trading blows. “Justice League! Protect the people!”
“How do we stop Darkseid for good?” Batman asks, looking for a way out of this situation. “Won't your instant kill technique work on him?”
“I tried it when we fought. It destroyed his avatar, but didn't affect the real him.” you say, shaking your head. “Wherever he is, he's basically untouchable.”
“Hrmmm.” he murmurs, then draws three of his bladed weapons from his belt and turns, throwing them at a pair of monsters flying down at the two of you. His blades strike them and explode, taking down the creatures. “So, how do we stop these portals?”
“I believe that I can do that.” Arctus replies, he and your son flying over. You then notice that he's holding one of the boxes, which Batman clearly recognizes. “I found this on a world he never invaded. While the tech is like nothing I've ever seen, I've managed to break into this box and wire it up to reverse their portals. But, there's one problem. My signal isn't strong enough.”
“So, we just have to amplify the signal?” Batman asks, Arctus shaking his head.
“No, we need to stop those towers from dampening my signal.” he replies, gesturing to one of the towers. “We knock enough of them down, I can send these monsters back to the hellhole they crawled out of.”
“Sounds like a plan.” a red blur says as it comes to a stop, you recognizing the man known as Flash. “I'll spread the word Bats.”
“Go.” Batman replies, Flash blurring away. You turn to watch him go, but as you turn back to ask the Batman another question, he's already gone. You didn't even sense him leave, how the hell did he do that?
