Kapitel 12: The injustice league
"Finally got the final count of HYDRA agents captured within the UN." Talbot said bringing up the total amount on the screens.
"Jesus Christ how could this have happened?" Sean asked seeing the numbers was almost in the thousands.
"70 years gives plenty of time to achieve goals and spread numbers for groups like HYDRA." Ross said.
"We need to find the Red skull and any other high ranking members of HYDRA before they strike again. Good news is that none of them managed to infiltrate Global Tech so none of our weapons or technology is in their hands." Talbot said.
"And the bad news?" Sean asked.
"The President wants to hold off on any assault teams on allied soil till the situation here is under control." Talbot said.
"He cant be serious by the time that happens HYDRA might strike again on foreign soil." Sean said.
"Which is why I asked a friend of mine on the presidents Staff to change his mind. President is giving Global tech full authority in any investigations involving HYDRA especially if the Red Skull is involved." Talbot said making Sean sigh in relief.
"Well Frank and the Defenders along with Carter are in England searching for any leads right now so we'll hear back from them soon. In the meantime we've got other issues involving Lex." Sean said.
"What now?" Ross asked.
"I have reason to believe Lex sold highly advanced weapons to a group of terrorists and got these weapons past customs somehow." Sean said.
"Great The last thing we need is him getting in the way of more important issues with HYDRA." Talbot said having enough of this.
"Which is why I've put a plan into action." Sean said.
"What did you do?" Ross asked before Superman came in.
"The plan worked but theres something you need to see." Superman said.
"What happened?" Sean asked.
Later
Lex was slowly waking up after passing out from so much pain he just suddenly received while escaping the League and the avengers Iron Man and Captain America. When he opened his eyes he saw Superman and Sean.
"YOU!" Lex said in anger.
"Lex theres something you need to hear." Superman said.
"No you listen I've got something to say." Lex tried to say.
"Better make it count because you wont last much longer with your condition." Sean said making him frown.
"What are you talking about? What condition?" Lex asked.
"You know that Kryptonite you always carried around you?" Sean said.
"What about it? Kryptonite only effects him and those two blond tramps of his." Lex said making Sean frown.
"We're discovering they an effect on human biology but only if their exposed to it for an extended period of time. In other words you've got a rare blood poisoning cancer." Sean said making Lex widen his eyes before glaring at Superman.
"This is your fault all of it!" Lex yelled. "Whats the treatment Radiation? Chemo?" Lex asked.
"There is no treatment and even if there was one I wouldn't give it to you for all the death you've caused. I find it Ironic that your so called best weapon ends up being the cause of your death." Sean said with a grin making Lex growl.
Later
"So Lex has a rare type of blood poisoning from the Kryptonite?" Ross asked.
"Looks that way. So I guess he's going to be suffering for a while longer till he dies a painful death." Sean said with a smirk.
"I would take this seriously if I were you. After all this could be an epidemic if unchecked." Talbot said.
"It wont be since the cancer cant spread like normal diseases do. It can only be infected on humans by the same way Lex got it. So theres no need to worry." Sean said.
"So where is Lex now?" Talbot asked.
"Striker Island where he's going to be spending the rest of his days." Sean said.
"Isn't that where..." Ross tried to say but Sean cut him off.
"Where my dead beat uncle is? Yeah but he's hardly a threat." Sean said.
"Don't tell me your getting cocky now on your enemies?" Talbot said.
"No. He's been in there for nearly 7 years and he's never even once bothered to break out probably because he's to lazy or to dumb even for an ex Cop and scientist." Sean said.
Meanwhile on Striker Island
Lex was growling in annoyance as he was forced to listen to Opera music from his cell neighbor Humanite.
"MY GOD WILL SOMEONE SHUT THAT CRAP OFF!" A male voice yelled next door yelled.
"Thats it." Lex said hacking his tv device.
Humanite was continuing to listen to his channel.
"Exquisite." Humanite said before the channel turned to Lex who looked annoyed.
"Humanite, how can you stand that caterwauling?" Lex asked.
"Music is one of the meager pleasures I'm allowed in here along with a few other necessities. You should try the culture channel. It might improve your disposition better then your cell mate across from you on your left." Humanite said.
"And who would that be?" Lex asked.
"Travis Ashburn of course." Humanite said.
"Ashburn? One of Sean's relatives?" Lex asked already scheming a plan.
"Don't even think about it. The man is a lunatic. He tried to kill his 3 year nieces nearly 7 years ago had their brother not stopped him." Humanite said having a lot of respect for the boy due how intelligent he was and was cutting him a deal since He wasn't really that dangerous compared to the others here.
"To late." Lex said ending his feed.
"Oh dear." Humanite said.
Travis Ashburn was in his mid 50's with white skin grey hair and grey eyes. Suddenly his Tv turned on with Lex Appearing.
"What the hell do you want?" Travis asked.
"I have a proposition for you my friend. How would you like to get back at your nephew who put you here?" Lex asked making Travis look at him for a minute.
"I'm listening but my talents don't come cheep." Travis said.
"How about I give you the exact same amount of money you won in the lottery 7 years ago." Lex said.
"Double and you've got a deal." Travis said making Lex Smirk.
Later
Sean arriving back home where he saw the twins playing on the game stations he bought for them.
"So how was school?" Sean asked sitting down on the couch.
"Good. Passed our tests again." Dawn said making Sean chuckle before his phone rang.
"Hello?" Sean said before his eyes widen. "Sorry girls." Sean said pausing their game and turned on the news.
"Earlier today two fugitives escaped from Striker island after a massive explosion occurred in the center of the island. The Fugitives that escaped are Lex Luthor and Travis Ashburn the uncle of Sean Ashburn Kruger and his twin sisters. Citizens are advised..." The News woman said before Sean turned off the Tv.
"Get your thing now." Sean said as they rushed upstairs. "How hell did this happen?" Sean asked Talbot on the Phone.
"No idea. Guards were given strict instructions to make sure he stayed away from any materials that could be used for explosives." Talbot said.
"I'm brining my sisters to Global Tech its the safest place for them to be right now." Sean said as the Twins came down with some of their things and he teleported them to Global Tech
Travis and Luthor were trying to lose the police.
"This should keep them distracted long enough." Travis said as he threw an explosive charge at an occupied building before it blew and caught on fire.
"Very impressive." Lex said.
"Lets go before my idiot nephew finds us." Travis said as they ran off.
"I need back up here now." Batman said on the comms.
"On my way." Sean said driving his motorcycle to the burning building and turned into the Rider. Sean managed to get there just in time as Batman nearly fell into the burning fire with a girl in his arms had Sean not wrapped his chain around them and pulled them up and got down to the ground safely where the girl ran into her fathers arms.
"You know I'm used to being thanked when I save someone." Sean said.
"I'm not used to be saved." Batman said making him snort in amusement before Flash and Superman arrived. "Where are Luthor and Travis?" Batman asked as Sean turned back to human form with a hood over his face to conceal his identity.
"We couldn't pick up their trail." Superman said.
"No biggie its just two guys. How much trouble can they give us?" Flash said before Sean punched him in the face though not hard enough to wound him.
"Idiot. Travis is more dangerous then you think if not more then Lex." Sean said.
"Personal grudge against him for trying to kill your sisters?" Batman said.
"Wouldn't you if you were in my position at that time?" Sean said.
"What exactly makes him dangerous?" Superman asked.
"Travis is an Ex cop specializing in making bombs and disarming them and has talents when doing the impossible. He might even be able to cure Lex of his cancer." Sean said.
"Then finding them is top priority for the three groups." Batman said.
"Frank and the Defenders cant help their half way across the world hunting down HYDRA and the Avengers are doing the same in the US." Sean said.
"So its our job then to find them." Batman said.
Later
"I'm surprised you didn't just put him on deaths row." Hawkgirl said to Sean.
"I couldn't since his crime was attempted murder. If he had succeeded it would have been a different story. I wanted to push for the death sentence but the problem is that I didn't have the influence like I do today for that to happen. When I did get that influence I went against it thinking maybe he could change but the Psychiatrists there told me he was mentally incapable of changing due to his drinking problem. Still I guess since he was family I held out hope that they could be wrong since he is one of the few things I have left of my parents. I don't intend to make the same mistake again." Sean said.
"So you intend to kill him." Batman said.
"No if I kill him it would cause a problem for my company so no but it doesn't mean I don't know how to stop him permanently if I have to." Sean said.
"Looks like you might just get your chance." Superman said showing the news of Travis holding a hostage in a building.
"Maybe you should sit this out." Batman said.
"Excuse me?" Sean said.
"This is a personal grudge between the two of you and it might escalate more then you'd like." Batman said making Sean growl.
"He's right." Raiden said appearing with two people one man and one woman. The man was an African American man in military clothing and the woman had white skin blond hair and green eyes.
"Raiden what are you doing here and who are they?" Sean asked.
"We're with Special forces the names Jax this is my partner Sonya." Jax said. (For their appearance look up the Mortal Kombat outfits from the 2011 game same with all the others from Mortal Kombat)
"As soon as I heard Travis had escaped I knew you would try to bring him in. I don't need to remind you the last time you lost your temper when something like this came up." Raiden said making Sean sigh.
"Ok fair enough." Sean said.
"I will go with them with Johnny Blaze to insure his capture you will remain her and keep a calm head." Raiden said.
"Alright fine." Sean said as Raiden and the league left.
"So whats the deal with you and this Travis guy anyway?" Sonya asked.
"He's my uncle and a dangerous man who was a cop 7 years ago. He specializes in making and disarming bombs as well as impossible science. nearly seven years ago after my parents death he won the lottery and tried to kill my sisters when they were only three years old saying he didn't want anymore mouths to feed. I stopped him and he was sentenced to life at Strikers island." Sean said.
"And you used the money he won to make your company didn't you." Jax said.
"I had a lot of good ideas even when I was just a kid but lacked the finances to fully make the things I could make and lack of finances means lack of equipment and materials. So with that money now in my possession I got everything I needed to make a name for myself with my ideas and you can guess the rest." Sean said.
Later
"So they got away?" Sean asked as he gave Batman a nano tech serum to remove the venom in his blood from Copperhead.
"We have copperhead so we should be able to find them now." Superman said.
"Don't be so sure." Sean said before they left. Batman soon opened his eyes.
"What happened?" Batman asked.
"What do you think? They got away minus Copperhead. The Serum I injected into you will purge the venom inside you but I wouldn't try moving around for a few more hours." Sean said before he sat up.
"Cant afford to wait that long." Batman said heading out.
"Man hes stubborn." Jax said.
"You have no idea." Sean said.
Later
Sean was in the hanger trying to keep his mind off of Travis when the alarm went off.
"Huh?" Sean said before a gun was placed against his head.
"Don't move you worthless little shit." Travis said.
"Pull the Trigger it wont work." Sean said calmly.
"Really?" Travis said.
BANG!
Travis fired his gun at his head having blood spatter around making him smirk before his eyes widen as his wound healed in seconds and Sean just faced him with a board expression.
"What the hell?" Travis said in confusion and slight fear.
"Still trying to murder family even now. You haven't changed at all. You know its funny of all the criminals in the world I knew could change I actually held out hope you would as well. Clearly that was a mistake and one I intend to correct for good." Sean said turning into the Ghost Rider making Travis widen his eyes in fear.
"Where are the intruders?" Raiden asked before they heard a pained and horrified scream making them rush to the hanger. Once they got there they saw...
"Oh god." Sonya said in shock seeing Travis without his arms and legs whimpering in fear while Sean back in his human form glaring at him.
"Please don't kill me." Travis begged.
"Oh I'm not. Killing you're not even worth killing." Sean said stomping on his head knocking him out before Star Sapphire and Cheetah tried to get away but Sean wrapped his chain around them and pulled them back. "Oh no you don't." Sean said amused as he and the others surrounded them.
"How did you get in here?" Johnny asked.
"Where's Batman?" Superman asked.
"Oh that idiot. They must have caught him and taken his access key to the hanger. Look for any bombs or anything. Since he was here theres more then likely a big one." Sean said.
"Found it! Open the hanger doors now!" Jax yelled as Flash quickly grabbed it and threw it into space and a few seconds later it exploded. "Damn no wonder you wanted to put him down if he makes explosives like that." Jax said.
"Now the question is where Batman and the rest of Luthor's pals are." Johnny said.
Sean looked at Sapphire and Cheetah who both gulped in fear before they spilled the beans.
Later
And like any other group of villeins they got their asses kicked hard. Travis somehow managed to make a containment suit that could contain and perhaps neutralize the cancer in Lex. However though Lex was officially and finally found guilty and sentenced to Prison.
"This better be the last time we see him around since I am sick and tired of this nonsense with him." Talbot said.
"You and me both. Since Humanite helped us in the search for Lex and Travis I let him out of his cell and into our labs." Sean said.
"And what about Sapphire and Cheetah?" Ross said.
"I gave them a choice work for us and pay off their time for their crimes or go back to prison. You can guess which one they took." Sean said.
"True." Talbot said.
"Now onto a more pressing matter. Since the Avengers and Defenders have their hands full with HYDRA we need another team here to assist the league for the time being." Sean said.
"Who do you have in mind? The Titans tower is still under construction." Ross said.
"I think its time I time visit an old friend who owns a school for the gifted." Sean said with a smirk.
