Family Feud

*CRACK*

The sound of Mark's fists breaking a person's jaw echoed out through the auction as the criminal with Kryptonian powers was sent to the ground. Mark then zoomed after him flipping the dagger he had taken off of Deathstroke into a reverse grip and stabbing it straight through the man's skull piercing his brain. It made him feel a little sick doing this but he realised pretty quickly he didn't have a choice; all of these criminals were about as strong as his brother Oliver —though depending on their previous powers they may be a bit stronger or a bit weaker.

If Mark let any of them escape they would devastate any place they went to, and as much as the Justice League wouldn't approve of what he was doing, he was sure they'd be relieved they wouldn't have to imprison hundreds of Superman-like beings. Mark was punched in the face by one of the other criminals sending him a dozen feet away and also making him lose his grip on his knife. Luckily the armour did a good job of taking most of the damage for him.

*Maximum Armour*

Mark formed a cross with his arms as he was once again hit as the man flew after him "Let's get him boys!" The man shouted and he kicked Mark up into the air where a man floating above him brought his hands together and sledgehammered him straight into the ground. Then a group of three people attempted to jump him as they started throwing punches and kicks his way; Mark growled as he got one of the criminals punches and slammed an electrical punch straight into his stomach which sent blood pouring out of his mouth, he then dragged him in front of his body shielding himself from a blast of heat vision from one of his friends.

Creating a sphere of red he pushed it into the criminal's stomach and launched him back towards the villain who was shooting heat rays at him; he smiled as they collided with each other violently and sprawled onto the floor. "My turn..." he growled out in a deep voice which was attributed to the suit's helmet.

*Maximum Strength*

Mark flew towards the closest criminal and drew his hand back —he kept his hand flat, forming a sort of spear. He then launched his hand forward piercing the criminal through his chest and out threw the other side. The man started coughing up blood as his body began to lose its strength and he went limp on Mark's arm "You Bastard!!!" One of the others shouted as he unleashed a powerful torrent of heat vision. Mark raised his hand and sent a stream of lightning in retaliation; the sound of thunder crashing brought most of the attention of the room to the fight as Mark's lightning quickly overpowered the heat ray and struck the man in the head making him fall to the ground in pain.

Mark whipped his hand to the right removing the dead villain from his arm. He looked around and saw that most of the villains were now looking at him as if forgetting what they were fighting about.

"Fuck me."

*BOOM*

Crashing through the ceiling was none other than Mark's father, Nolan Grayson a.k.a Omni-man. He fell to the floor making a large crater; flying in just after him was a man that Mark hadn't seen before, he had a black outfit with a golden lightning bolt on his chest. The suit reminded him a lot of the one Shazam used to wear. Mark could see the man was in an utter rage 'Considering it Dad he probably did something,' Mark thought to himself as he watched the newcomer slam his knee down in Nolan who growled before grabbing him by the neck and bringing it down and head butting him before throwing him off.

Mark flew over towards them to get a better idea of what was going on, and to understand just what the hell his dad was doing here. However, before he could get close he was tackled by two other criminals who were then joined by four others as they slammed their fists into Mark and attempted to beat him into a bloody pulp. Mark brought his arms up to protect himself but was hit from behind in the back of his head. Yelling out in anger Mark sent out a repelling shockwave from his body sending the villains flying, he then reached out and brought the closest one back and grabbed him by the neck.

"No no no wait!"

*Crack*

Mark twisted his neck and snapped it using his superior strength —the strength mode of the suit did give him quite a boost. He tried flying over to his Dad again who had gotten the upper hand on the stranger only to once again be tackled; the intensity of the fighting only seemed to increase as Mark found himself on the defensive despite being stronger than these criminals, he wasn't able to launch an offensive as he was constantly being barraged by fists and heat vision and various other meta powers.

Meanwhile, Nolan found himself in a sour mood as Black Adam wouldn't stay down. He didn't know how the man had gotten stronger but he still couldn't measure up to Nolan. He rushed at him avoiding the bolt of lightning that was shot at him and slammed his fist into Black Adam's gut; he then grabbed him by the back of the head and drew his head straight to his knee —cracking his nose and spraying blood all over his face.

"I'll kill you!" Black Adam growled as he launched a barrage of punches at Nolan who grunted but kept a firm grip on him —though he did feel his ribs start to protest at the force. He flew down with Black Adam straight into the ground, he brought his fist up to continue pummelling him but was tackled from behind by none other than Deathstroke who had rejoined the party.

Deathstroke considered leaving when Mark had punched him out of the palace but with his newfound power he thought it would be a waste if he didn't at least try and kill Omni-man —he had caused him quite a few problems in the past when he was a hero. He sent off his daughter to go and find Bruno and get him to safety; it wouldn't be said about him that he was a coward who broke a contract.

Flying was quite disorienting at first and it affected his balance in quite a detrimental way. It's why that punk was able to get the better of him like that —he'd get his revenge on Mark soon though. Nolan growled and stuck his fist in the ground stopping their movement he then whipped his head back straight into Deathstroke who was able to avoid it at the last moment. He pulled his pistol out before unloading the clip in his back; the special bullets managed to pierce his skin though didn't entirely make it through the layer of muscle underneath.

Nolan slammed his elbow into Deathstroke before spinning them around and flying into the ground —dragging him along with him. Deathstroke tried to maintain his grip around the Viltrumite's throat but Nolan ripped his fingers off and gained some distance from him. 'Where did they all get these abilities from...' Nolan questioned as his eyes gazed around. Though he wasn't allowed to stay idle for long as both Black Adam and Deathstroke rushed back towards him; he blocked Black Adams punch by catching it with his hand but wasn't able to avoid the liver blow Deathstroke sent into his side. Nolan tightened his grip on Black Adam and threw him at Deathstroke who deftly avoided him, as Nolan fought he couldn't help but lament the loss of his arm as it reduced his fighting ability by a considerable amount.

Mark was having a little less trouble in his fight as he managed to use his Meta powers to get himself some space. 'I can't exhaust myself too much, with my Dad here and whoever that guy is I could be looking at an even tougher fight,' he thought to himself as he avoided a blow and sent an uppercut of his own sending the perpetrator flying.

"Come on boys all together," He heard someone say from behind him. He looked back in time to see five people with their eyes glowing red "Oh shit!" He said before he held his arms out.

*Maximum Armour*

Heat vision from five on the villains slammed into Mark sending him straight to the ground. He tried to get back up but as he did he was grabbed by the shoulders and slammed down; the heat vision increased in intensity and the floor around him started to glow red.

*Warning Nanosuit overheating*

*Entering Sleep mode*

"No! No! No! No!"

Mark yelled out in pain as his suit withdrew from around him. He was now being hit with the full force of the heat vision with no defence besides his own body. Thinking quickly he pulled the man who was holding his shoulders down with his meta-powers and head-butted him, he then grabbed him by the throat and lifted him over himself using him to block the heat vision. The man started screaming in pain as the intense heat ripped his newly gifted invulnerability and started cooking his organs. While this was happening Mark gripped the ground and launched himself away from the group of people, at the same time Nolan had just received a vicious spin kick from Deathstroke which sent him careening in the same direction as Mark —They slammed into each other, bashing their heads together.

"Mark?" Nolan said as he turned around.

"Dad..." Mark replied a little more cautiously due to how their last encounter went.

"Omni-Man!" Black Adam shouted as he rushed towards him.

"Brother!" Oliver shouted as he flew through the hole in the ceiling that Nolan and Black Adam had made.

"Oliver?" Mark said with a bit more confusion.

"NOLAN!" Bruno Mannheim shouted from the stage as he had returned from where he was hiding with a ginger-haired woman at his side. She wore a dead expression on her face and was wearing a white suit similar to one Nolan was wearing except her feet were left bare.

"Who the fuck is she?" Mark asked though it was mostly a rhetorical question.

"Eve kill them!" Bruno commanded with a malicious smile on his face. Eve was a masterpiece, thousands of hours of surgery and her inborn abilities had turned her into the perfect weapon. She no longer has a will of her own and will only listen to those who are designated masters.

Eve floated off the ground before she rushed towards Mark and Nolan. Mark prepared himself for her attack but in doing so he was unprepared for the punch Oliver delivered to the side of his head. Eve meanwhile kept on course, as she flew objects that were littered around the room started to rise and follow her; she then pushed her hands forward and all the objects were telekinetically thrown towards Nolan, who started to zip around the room to avoid them.

This made it easier for Black Adam who spun around with both his fists together delivering a doubled-handed uppercut to Nolan. He was launched upwards where Deathstroke delivered an axe kick sending him straight down to the ground and into Eve's clutches. Eve flipped midair forming a large pink hammer made of energy and slamming it down on Nolan's face with incredible force. While she couldn't compare to even a young Viltrumite; the various surgeries she had been subjected to had given her a level of strength far beyond that of a normal human. In addition to that her energy constructs were severely dangerous even to someone as strong as Nolan.

Nolan growled as he caught the Hammer before she could deliver another strike; he pushed up sending her and the hammer away, though Eve was able to flip midair before reforming the hammer into a sphere of energy and sending it back down to Nolan. The Viltrumite stood up smacking the sphere away with little difficulty but he was then brought to his knees by an intense stream of pink energy which crashed down onto him. He growled before he started to stand up again only to be hit with another stream of lightning from Black Adam and then heat vision from Deathstroke.

Meanwhile, Mark was trying to reason with his younger brother "You know you can't beat me, just stop, bigger things are happening right now," Mark said as he parried and deflected a barrage of punches that were sent at him while they were flying.

"You just got lucky last time!" Oliver growled out as he tried to take him unaware with a flip kick; though Mark was able to grab it and throw him him in the other direction. Oliver felt his frustration start to increase as he smashed the floor where he landed and then launched off the ground back towards Mark.

"We don't have time for this!" Mark shouted at him before he delivered a right hook right across Oliver's face 'Shit...' he thought to himself as he heard the sound of his younger brother's skull cracking before he was launched across the room. Mark flew over to Oliver who was gripping his face in pain as tears started building up in his eyes "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hit you that hard," Mark said feeling a little guilty.

"But look we have bigger things to worry about now, can't you see Dads in trouble?" Mark said as he pointed towards Nolan was was being forced to kneel from the sheer power that was being directed towards him.

Mark wasn't an idiot, at least he didn't think he was. He knew that he should let his Dad be killed as it would prevent a lot of potential trouble in the future, but he had to think about now and while he knew there was a good chance that he would have to fight his Dad once again —and probably his younger brother— he knew for certain that he would need to fight those three who were no doubt working for Mannheim. He would definitely rather take the risk of fighting his father and having some backup now than doing it all on his own.

At least that's how he rationalised it to himself, but the truth was he didn't want his Dad to die; he still loved him and wanted him to come back home —despite how impossible that would be now. It didn't matter Mark had made his decision "Come on let's go help Dad," he said to Oliver who nodded his head.

Both launched off the ground straight towards where Nolan was engaged with the other three. Oliver trailed off and collided with Black Adam which stopped the stream of lightning from raining down on Nolan; Mark decided to go for Eve who only saw him coming at her last minute and was hastily able to bring up a pink force field. Mark's punch crashed through her forcefield and caught her in the stomach sending her flying away —with Mark hot on her trail.

Nolan who was no longer under the strain of three continuous energy attacks finally stood up and shot towards Deathstroke who backed up a bit before throwing a punch at the approaching Nolan; their fists clashed though Nolan quickly kicked him back before flying after him.

...

Bruno watched the scene with rage as he saw the near victory that he was about to receive turn into a defeat. He had seen footage of how Mark dealt with the Rognarr and knew that he combined with the other two would be able to beat his men "I suppose I'll have to do this myself..." he growled out before he started to walk off stage intent on grabbing a weapon from the storage room. However, before he could disappear a firm grip was placed on his shoulder stopping him dead.

"Don't leave yet this is only the starter, you'll love what we are having for dessert, HaHaHahAhHahHhaHah."

Bruno looked around to see the smiling face of the Joker who was joined by Bizarro who lumbered behind like an ape.

"What do you want clown? Haven't you already done enough!" Bruno growled.

"Oh my poor Heimy whimey, I do apologise for ruining your special night I bet you had the right dress picked out and everything," The Joker said while chuckling.

"I'll deal with this myself and then I'll deal with you!" Bruno said as he tried to rip his shoulder out of the Joker's grip; while he had stopped the blood and bandaged it, it still hurt when it was touched. However no matter how hard he tried he wasn't able to get out of the Joker's grip. Eventually, the clown turned him around before grabbing the back of his neck.

"Watch... you don't want to miss it."
