Bab 53: Chapter 48

Back in Rhelasia, Ra's al Ghul and Luthor were holding their own private meeting after the Justice League of sidekicks had so abruptly left. "Hmm even with turning Rhelasia towards the Light's aim it leaves a bad taste in the mouth," Luthor muttered as he swirled his whiskey around across from his counterpart who took a sip of the decades-aged vintage.

"Yes, there is nothing more annoying and unsportsmanlike than an opponent just walking away when the game was almost finished." Ra's al Ghul mused as he looked out of the dimly lit room's window and grimaced seeing the overly built metropolitan capital of Rhelasia.

"Hmph! I was half of the mind to have a couple more of your men attack the procession just to get them in trouble but having to appear reliant on the League after they dealt with the other incidents and being immediately attacked and getting hurt to sell the facade would be too humiliating for myself." Luthor groused earning a chuckle from Ra's al Ghul.

"Haha... I am afraid you wouldn't be merely lightly hurt should some of my men get their hands on you and not merely allow themselves to be beaten and thrown around by the children and your little abomination." Ra's al Ghul said looking to Mercy with disdain for her abandoning her skill as a martial arts expert to instead augment her body with alien weapons.

"In the end... All is well in Rhelasia, and they all will see the Light." Luthor toasted his counterpart with not a single change to his expression as he knew with only Mercy at his side, he wouldn't be able to contest with Ra's al Ghul two companions in the silent menacing form of Ubu and his just as deadly daughter Talia who was merely watching the two men speak boredly.

Hearing the Light's slogan, Ra's al Ghul rolled his eyes but gamely repeated the mantra. "Yes, they will all see the Light and such... Either way, the smell of all the pollution is offending my senses, and I will be leaving now."

"Oh? All of the Rhelasia is powered by Luthor Corp's Bleed Energy generators... There is literally no pollution at all? Do you hate speaking to your colleague so much?" Luthor teased enjoying the opportunity to put one of the deadliest men in the world on the backfoot.

"Father means he hates the stench of weakness which is the majority of these soft people living in these cities," Talia interjects earning a look from her father for speaking for him.

"I prefer to look at city dwellers for being more intelligent than people who can only brain one another in the wilds for a boar they hunted." Luthor said as he laid down his now drained glass of whiskey while Ra's al Ghul snorted at Luthor's answer that showed how he approved of how 'weak' humanity had become.

"Talia, Ubu, we are leaving... And Luthor I would enjoy those weak little humans while you still can, you know their ultimate fates with the Light's goals." Ra's al Ghul said with a hint of teeth making Luthor's confident smile falter as he knew all too well what the Light's goals were for general humanity, and he didn't approve of it at all.

After the trio of assassins left his room and Mercy swept the room for any traps or recorders the assassins left behind, and Luthor had to snort as Talia had managed to leave half a dozen such things somehow across the room despite never leaving her father's side.

"Mercy stick those in the microwave," Luthor said carelessly as he refilled his tumbler full of whiskey and began to think of his own plans to take over the Light's operations especially the plans involving the Starro as Vandal Savage, the madman, needed to be thrown into another realm or a sun to keep the immortal from overstretching and having humanity extinguished.

"Maybe that monster will prove some use then in clearing out the more troublesome aspect of this little cabal I am a part of." Luthor mused as his mind whirled and landed on the possible solution of having that young hero Lorde broken of his morals and then pointing the young man to tear apart Vandal Savage and have his remains thrown into a sun or something.

After a debrief with Batman about what had happened during the peace summit and the couple of battles that took place while also taking in my suspicions on how Ra's al Ghul and Luthor were working together, he obviously focused on how I dealt with Black Adam.

"You actually threw him into Hell?" Batman said dryly and I nodded without shame.

"Yes, in the middle of a peace summit with Black Adam's goals being only to kill Luthor, I took the best way to remove him from the fight and not cause the loss of anyone's life," I explained succinctly making Batman's exposed mouth tighten.

"Black Adam hasn't been seen in Kahndaq since you threw him into hell and with the time dilation between realms the League is concerned that he may have died during the time you spent coming back to the US," Batman spoke growling and I gave the man a scowl.

"As I said... I did the best thing to prevent a murderous superhuman I can only match from killing Luthor and the other citizens of Rhelasia. Not to mention, just like with Captain Marvel he has the blessing of his gods and is fully capable of teleporting through his divine lightning outside of Hell or his patrons could pull him out of Hell whenever they please." I scoffed with Batman surprisingly nodding.

"That would normally be the case, but you must have forgotten Teth Adam and Captain Marvel's foe in Sabbac and his demonic patrons within Hell he is likely fighting for his life down in there against an endless army of demons or he may very well have been killed by the demon lords who gave Sabbac his powers," Batman explained with my face scrunching up as I just then remembered Sabbac... I mean come on there were literally thousands of villains in the damned League's files, you tend to forget some, especially in the heat of the moment.

"Are you asking me to lead a rescue mission for Black Adam..." I deadpanned with the team giving me awkward looks at how tired I sounded but thankfully Batman shook his head.

"No Lorde. But rather than banishing villains to Hell, you should consider banishing them to the Phantom Zone if you can actually reach there. Can you?" He asked and I shrugged.

"What's the phantom zone?" Wally muttered in the background.

"I really don't want to mess with the Phantom Zone as it's filled with insane Kryptonians that were sent there as criminals before Krypton fell and being in that dimension isn't good for the more stable minded Kryptons that fled there before the planet fell apart. But sure, I can try to make my way there to get an idea for the place." I said before shifting. "Now I believe that was a good enough debrief for myself and my actions, I am going to bed as I have plans in the morning," I said looking to Galatea who smiled as I left the room.
