Superman:

"Iris Allen West," I say, stepping aside to present the picture of Iris and her house. "This is your target. Currently, she is in her house in Central City. I want her brought in and taken into custody. The plan here is for Firefly and Bane here to enter the house. They will be leading all of you while Hawkgirl is watching from the sky. Are there any questions?"

None of my regime soldiers raise their hands, I point to the exit. With all the soldiers filing out, the only ones left in the briefing room are Firefly, Bane, Diana, and myself.

"So why are we after Flash's wife," Firefly asks, adjusting the flame thrower on his wrist. "I thought she wasn't important. I mean, we watched her house for a while but there had been no activity with Flash or any of the other Insurgent members."

"Flash's ex-wife," Diana answers, walking into the room. "And that was before. Garfield, you best not question Superman again."

"I'm sorry Wonder Woman," Firefly says, putting up his hands. "I'm sorry Superman. It's just that I don't understand the plan. What's so special about her all of a sudden?"

"You don't need to understand the plan," Diana says, "You just need to do as ordered. Now go."

Standing aside, Firefly and Bane walk past her, leaving the two of us alone.

"Where is Bruce? Is he going on the mission with Firefly, Bane, and Hawkgirl?"

"No," I reply, waking away, Diana follows after. "He and Cyborg are still trying to pull up any information on the man."

"The man with the sunglasses? Yes, I agree. I believe he is the most threatening at the moment. From what I've seen and what you told me, he is unlike anyone we have ever faced. Even with a yellow ring, you still couldn't defeat him."

"Yes," I say, stopping and bringing up my yellow ring. "Even with the yellow ring Sinestro gave me, I still couldn't defeat that man. Maybe Bruce can build something that can help but first, he needs to find something on him. We need to know more about him."

Diana and I walk into the computer room where Bruce and Cyborg are doing research. The walls are covered by screens and monitors, I look up at them and as expected, not one of them shows any picture of the man himself.

"Anything," I ask.

"I'm afraid not," Cyborg replies, his focus still on the screen. "And I've tried everything I can think of. But without a proper picture of him or even a name to go off of, it's close to impossible."

"A proper picture," Diana repeats, her eyes scanning the recovered surveillance footage. "Maybe he altered it somehow so he wouldn't appear. Have you tried restoring it?"

"That's the problem," Cyborg says, pointing at the latest footage. It was when he, Kara, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Flash, and even Green Lantern were in New Metropolis. In the video, it showed me firing my ring at no one.

"That is the original, un-alter, footage," Cyborg states, the footage getting bigger until it takes up three full screens. "The servers in New Metropolis and what we could recover from the Watchtower show no signs of tampering. As far as we know, he never once touch them."

"What about Wayne Tower," I ask, looking around to see if there is any footage of what happened last night. "Did the servers at Wayne Tower show tampering? Bring up the footage."

Cyborg typing into the keyboard, the footage of my fight switches to footage from Wayne Tower. In the footage are Harleen, Catwoman, Captain Cold, and Poison Ivy, all four in the building. We watch as Poison Ivy herself summoned massive roots to destroy the building's foundation. In the shaking, she and Captain Cold carried Cyborg out while Harleen and Catwoman carried Nightwing to a window before the three of them jumped out.

"He recruited villains," Diana says, asking Cyborg to stop at the footage of Poison Ivy and Captain Cold. "The same villains that wouldn't join us: Captain Cold and Poison Ivy. Who knows who else he had already recruited?"

"Captain Cold and Poison Ivy," I think to myself, "Working with Kara? Against me?"

As I think, I start to clench my hands, and my ring starts to glow brighter and brighter.

"Bruce," I scream, Bruce turns around. "I want you to find all former villains who wouldn't join the Regime. I want their locations immediately. Cyborg, continue with the search. I want something on that man. Something I can use. Even a ghost will leave a trail."

Cyborg nods his head and returns to his computer. Meanwhile, Diana and I turn to leave but stop when all of us hear a beeping.

"What is that," I ask, everything on the screens disappearing and being replaced by flashing red lights.

"That's the energy signature," Cyborg screams, smiling and typing something on his arm. A map of Gotham appears on the screen, it reveals a bright red dot.

"When the man and the others escaped New Metropolis, they used some sort of teleporter with a unique energy, unlike anything I've ever seen before. Luckily, since it's so unique, I was able to track it. According to this, this is where a portal just opens."

"Meaning this is where we can find them," Diana says. "Quite possibly all of them."

"Including Kara," I say, quickly walking out. "Gather everyone. We're going."

To anyone and everyone who is reading this, be happy I had to stop for gas a few days earlier. While buying gas, I saw something so beautiful, so unforgettable, I couldn't believe it existed. A giant bucket of M&M, hence my burst of energy to upload a second chapter in one week.

Thank you very much and please enjoy.
