Impressions

[Batman POV]

This is an irregular situation.

The invasion of earth was something I had prepared for, although I had hoped that it would never come to that. I knew that the Justice league was needed, and it was needed for this exact situation.

This man is irregular. His actions exude carelessness. Carelessness during the end of the world means two things, confidence, or insanity. Both are detrimental to the mission, to earth. I'll just have to wait and see which one it really is before I deal with him.

I needed to find a weakness, and now I have it. It seems his abilities have limitations. He can get exhausted. He can bleed. And that's good enough for me.

He seems to have some degree of super strength, although to only a minor degree. The properties of his slashing attack are still unknown. His blade, it has thrusters that enhance the force behind his swings… Alien technology perhaps. He is proficient in using his weapons… someone with years of practice.

I need to do more research. Who is he? What does he want? I won't rest until I have the answers.

What's even stranger is that these abilities seem new, he didn't move like a weapons expert when we first met. Did he just hide his abilities well? Or are the abilities granted by his weapon?

I'll need to research more. But it'll have to wait. First we need to save the earth from whoever is attacking.

But mark my words, I'll find out whether or not this man, Nostradamus, is an ally or an enemy. If he is an ally, then we have a formidable force on our side, one that we'll accept with open arms. But if he turns out to be an enemy, I'll be prepared. Prepared to take him down.

As I think this, a voice calls out "That seems to be all of them. Shall we continue onwards?"

[Wonder Woman POV]

I've met quite a few warriors in my time. I've battled Ares for the peace of earth, sparred with gods as part of my trails to leave Themyscira, fought alongside aliens and galactic guardians, a man who could defeat Hermes himself in a contest of speed, and a man who could outwit Solomon with all his wisdom. Throughout these experiences I've met countless people, some cowardly, some noble, some twisted, some lost, some strong and some weak.

But I had not yet seen a warrior like the man who had joined us in this mission. He fights with a degree of carelessness most would dismiss as naivety, but I am aware of its true nature. It's confidence, boundless confidence in his own abilities.

Whether this confidence is baseless or justified, only time can tell. But I have a feeling that all of us may be welcoming new comrades very soon.

But never mind that, for now we have to focus on saving people from these invaders that attack our world.

I've got to admit, I was a bit worried about his abilities when he began to cough up blood after 'over exerting' himself, but it seems his other skills seem to make up for that weakness.

We continue to fight as I observe his skills. His fighting style isn't like any particular well-known discipline, but it is focused on inflicting the swiftest death possible. His style breathes rage,it exudes revenge. It makes me wonder what type of life led to him fighting like that.

His other power as well, it obliterated a large force of parademons in an instant. I had only witnessed such power when battling gods and their incarnations or ancient evils too abhorrent to speak. Although I could not see it in action, I could feel its malicious nature. I must question him about its origin after we complete our goal. But for now, we have a different mission.

I take out the final parade as a voice reaches my ears "That seems to be all of them. Shall we continue onwards?"

[Cyborg POV]

I gotta admit our cooperation started a bit out of the blue, but it seems to be going well. I was already feeling good about our chances with the justice league on our side but having this new guy on our side is really getting my hopes up.

The Justice League is hard to talk to, since they're world renowned superheroes while I'm just a newcomer, so having another newbie to talk to is good for my stress, especially when the world might end if I mess up.

When that guy, Mr. Nostradamus as he calls himself, coughed up blood, I gotta admit, I was a bit nervous but it seems it all worked out fine.He was strong too, stronger than normal people. He even saved my ass once as we were fighting.

He seems like a pretty trustworthy guy, and my systems detect no hostility coming from him. I'm sure I'll be seeing him more often. His skills seem good enough to get him into the Justice League as well. I once dreamed of being a superhero too, when I was young. Too bad that dream is always going to stay a dream.

I'm a monster. No one is going to look upto a killer robot. No matter how many good deeds it does. A machine will never be respected in this world.

'But enough about my depressing tangent. We've still got a world to save.' I think that as Mr. Nostradamus speaks out "That seems to be all of them. Shall we continue onwards?"
