Chương 64: Chapter 64: A Warning
In one of the rooms in Sora's mansion, the damaged robot sat in the middle of the room on a pedestal. Numerous cables stuck out of it, connecting it to the high tech computer at the other side of the room.
The rest of the room was filled with technology that looked years ahead of what was used in the nations of earth.
Sora sat patiently in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard and carefully going through everything he was seeing.
The technological build of the robot was too complex for any normal scientist or specialist to understand fully. It was only because of his cheat of a template system that he was able to dismantle and operate it without any problem.
A beeping sound rang from the computer, causing Sora to raise a brow before pressing a button at the side and continuing his work.
A few seconds later the sound of someone walking behind him made itself known but he stayed focused on the screen.
"What brings you here, Bruce?" Sora asked, still not looking back at his visitor.
"You know why I'm here." The man said impatiently as Sora's amusement grew a bit.
"Humor me." He said simply, finally turning back.
"Brainiac is not an enemy you can underestimate. Even Superman has to be careful when facing him. He's a known collector and conqueror. The only reason he'd ignore Superman and come here is if he's found something of interest." Batman said as Sora's looked on, almost bored.
"You still haven't made your point." Sora pointed out causing the man's eyes to furrow.
"What I'm saying is that there's something that he sees high value in. High enough value for him to send his forces here to earth to prepare his arrival." Batman finished as Sora clapped slowly.
"Congratulations. You managed to figure out what I already knew since yesterday." Sora said, his amusement leaking out of him before his look turned serious.
"I already know what he's after." He added, his demeanor changing to a more serious one.
He turned back to the computer, tapping a few keys as a large holographic screen appeared in the middle of the room.
On the screen were three pictures of Sora from different angles.
"He's after me." Sora laid out plainly as Batman's eyes widened a bit. He then turned to the damaged robot in the center of the room before understanding set in.
"Since when are you able to understand alien technology?" The dark knight questioned.
"It's only one of my many skills. I went through the robot's programming and their orders weren't as complicated as you'd think." Sora spoke, blatantly avoiding the man's question.
"To capture me alive. Tokyo is just collateral damage in that goal." Sora finished as the screen disappeared.
"Why does Brainiac want with you?" Batman wondered out loud.
"It's quite simple really." Sora answered, continuing at the man's confused look.
"Tokyo has recently been viewed as the most technologically advancing city. At the rate it's going, it would only be a few years before it reaches the maximum level known on earth. The person responsible for that is me."
"Whether he sees it as a slowly rising threat or a simple experiment for him to watch and oversee is none of my concern. Targeting me is the last mistake he'll ever make." Sora said with a tone that spoke of how little he thought of Brainiac.
'Something's still not right with this whole thing.' He thought but didn't voice his thoughts.
"Don't underestimate him. The league is coming up with a plan to deal with Brainiac-" Batman started but was interrupted.
"And how far have you gotten on that? I don't recall being friends or anything of the sort with the Justice league. I'll handle Brainiac myself." Sora said calmly but the pressure around him spoke volumes of how 'calm' he was.
"I suggest you warn them to stay out of my city. That includes your little bird trying to sneak in here." Sora warned as his hand shot out to the side, the sound of someone choking being heard.
"Ack-!!!"
A young boy in a red and black spandex outfit with an 'R' on the left side of his chest suspended in the air, his body stiff with only his head being able to move.
"I was under the impression that you didn't want anyone to know about me." Sora commented offhandedly as he held the boy wonder in his telekinetic grip.
"Let him down." Batman said calmly but it was obvious that he could do nothing if Sora didn't comply.
Robin tried to struggle even as he was suspended in the air but only his neck was capable of movement.
"Find somewhere else to play kid. The grownups are talking." Sora said as the scarlet color of the Uchiha bloodline bled into his eyes as he stared into the boy wonder's eyes.
Less than a second later, Robin's struggling ceased as body went limp, the boy unconscious. His eyes reverted to their natural black color once again as he turned to Batman as Robin's body descended slowly to ground level.
"Keep your stray in line." He said as the boy wonder's body lowered beside him. He grabbed the boy by his costume, tossing him to Batman who easily caught him.
"Superman won't just sit down and watch Brainiac attack. He'll come and fight." The dark knight warned.
"That's why I'm giving you a message to relay to the league. My days of hiding are over. Tokyo is off limits for any Justice league operation. Any violation of that will result in severe retaliation." Sora said, an oppressive aura around him to buttress his point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Batman had taken his leave with an unconscious Robin in his hands, Sora was left alone in the room.
The holographic screen in front of him showed a reporter who was giving her take on the destruction that happened just in front of the Makoto Hospital…where he and Zatanna encountered the robots.
His eyes narrowed for a moment before he spoke.
"How did it go?" He asked, still watching the news. Less than a second later, Tai rose out of his shadow in a kneeling position before standing to his feet.
"It was easy. The security wasn't even remotely challenging. I planted the seal in one of their farmhouses like you requested." He answered immediately, causing Sora to smile.
'Brainiac may be on my tail but I still want to teach Luthor a lesson on sabotage.' He thought darkly only for a voice to shake him out of his thoughts.
"You know, that smile makes you look quite villainous." Zatanna's voice rang around the room before she shimmered into existence beside him.
Tai immediately stood straighter at her appearance which Sora noticed. Zatanna wore a black strapless shirt and grey pants. Though it was a simple combination, her figure and appeal was still very much amplified in its simplicity.
"I couldn't help it. I tend to get a bit excited when it comes to payback. I'll be right back." Sora replied but she wasn't done.
"Not even going to say goodbye to your girlfriend before you go? I just got here." She said with a cute pout.
Tai who was already forgotten in the background swallowed audibly. Sora internally rolled his eyes, knowing that Zatanna was intentionally torturing the boy.
It wasn't hard to notice Tai crush on Zatanna and the girl didn't waste any opportunity to prove that she belonged to Sora and only Sora. Especially when Tai was present.
"It won't take long. We can spend as much time as you want when I come back." He said, laying a soft kiss on her lips which she enjoyed.
Her satisfaction was clear as day, the pleased smile on her face revealing it. With a roll of his eyes, he disappeared in a black flash.
