POV: Blackagar

I was in my throne room, a week had passed since the incident with Darkseid, the heroes who fought by my side were honored, I didn't participate but they also made mention of me.

Around me were the screens showing the opinions of the various societies around the globe, mainly the ones my royal guard acted on, many were calling them heroes too, this is very interesting indeed.

Maximus for some reason was very focused on this, he seems to enjoy the attention he received from humans, better save that for later, I don't want a self-centered brother.

Something that also caught my attention was that humans were calling me Blackbolt, I don't know where that name came from but I'm sure it came from Maximus.

"My lord, one of the Immortals came to see you." Karnak said drawing my attention, he had also gained a lot of popularity.

I waved him in, then a man wearing ceremonial robes walked in, he was six feet tall, he lowered his hood, revealing a blue face with black eyes, a lack of tattoos.

"My King, I am Aznur, sent by the Council of Immortals, they are concerned that your recent action will bring too much attention to our people." He was quick and direct, he wasn't overbearing or overly fearful, he was neutral, and he showed the concerns of his superiors.

That's why I had respect for Immortals, they were straight forward, without plots, or any ulterior motives, if they are worried about something they are straight forward and will speak the truth.

Medusalith beside me conveyed my words, she was still not being affected by the pregnancy, but a small lump was already forming.

"The King understands your concerns, and assures you that Attilan is his priority, as well as his safety, his involvement with humans was based on the greater good, a global invasion would eventually bring war to Attilan." She conveyed my thoughts perfectly.

He heard everything and nodded.

"I see, that relieves me a lot, and I'm sure the council leaders will be happy about it too, so they asked me to invite you to visit a new crypt that was discovered." This news surprised me.

Crypts are what we call the ruins of ancient Attilan, the current city we live in was built on top of it, and so the Immortals work to keep history alive, and discover new crypts.

I waved at him, accepting the invitation, after which he withdrew, I placed my hand on my chin and thought deeply.

"My King, investigations report that many governments, mainly the US and European countries are looking for its location, organizations that stand out are Cia, Chekmate, and a newly formed Argos." Morbius reported.

This would be a problem in the future, secret organizations in the outside world usually don't have a good track record, so it's best to keep a close eye on them.

All of this got me thinking about how I should deal with this, my actions put me on a new pedestal of attention, they were calling me the "Most Powerful Man Alive".

This is due to the damage that my fight with Darkseid in the beginning resulted in, many say that I could defeat the Kryptonian, and yes it was a fact, he was powerful, but he had many limitations, depending on external energy to be powerful.

POV: Bruce Wayne

It's been a week since my eyes were opened to new threats, I was a fool to just close myself off to Gotham, the world is spawning threats that ordinary people can't hope to fight any time soon.

But I'm just a man, I don't have great powers, but I have money and influence to be able to help as much as I can, that's why the Martha aid fund, it serves to rebuild Gotham, it increased the generation of jobs in the city.

This in turn has greatly reduced crime, something good about all this trouble, Alfred seems to be more and more right, even if I fight the crime, if I don't cut the root the plant continues to grow.

So I'm trying to use my public identity for something useful, while my night version takes care of things behind the scenes, which brings me to the question, where is he?

The Metahuman or mysterious alien who appeared to our aid was a decisive factor in our victory in the invasion, but I cannot ignore that his abilities are very dangerous, and unlike Clark he does not seem to have a clear weakness.

The media and civilians called him Blackbolt, his powers were destructive, and from what he 'spoken' he couldn't control it so easily, having to be silent.

Very curious, for now better to go back to patrol, the Scarecrow seems to be starting a new wave of crimes related to his studies on fear.

In an office at the White House there were a number of people sitting, in front of them was Steve Trevor, he was excited as he would be explaining his newest idea after the founding of Argos.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the alien attack has shown us that Earth is not yet ready for this type of conflict, so we need a team that can quickly deal with crises before they get out of hand." Steve said as he pressed a button and a screen lit up.

"To everyone present, I want you to meet the Justice League." Steve said smiling.
