(General POV)
Location the New Earth, Overview
It been a couple days, since the merger, and Chicago was taken by the Forsaken, both the Avengers with aid of Iron Man, Bruce Banner, and Black Panther, along with Justice League's Batman, Atom, and Flash have been trying to analyze the fog that domes the remnants of Chicago.
But nothing has worked, technology from Star City, Wayne Int., X-men, or even Stark Corp haven been able to do anything, magic from Zatanna, Doctor Strange, Nico Minoru, Constantine, or any other magical user could penetrate the dome, amongst the thing that has happened in New Earth as Mao named this merged world.
Their are now two Atlantis in this Earth one ruled by Leaguer and superhero king, Aquaman, and one more Azteca based ruled by a mutant prince, named Namor.
Wakanda was made it own nation, along with Latveria under Victor Von Doom, Kahndaq recognized Teth-Adam's aka Black Adam sovereignty, Themyscira no longer under the Gods protection was exposed and Queen Hippolyta was also recognized as a monarch, lastly at the edge of Norway, the rainbow bridge, manifesting a direct path to Asgard who was also merged into the New Earth.
With soo many new countries, races, and sovereignties, the world was forced to adapt especially with the threat and broadcasts of Mao, he played sick games from forcing captive to activate generator while he, or one of his subordinates hunt down the "Survivors", and placing polls to make survivors games harder or easier, all posted anonymously, letting people view and comment on this game, or Mao places people on death traps, or polls asking the viewers for punishments, or rewards for the captives.
A small mercy if any player, manages to accumulated ten wins, and survive, not only are they released, but given a million dollar reward, plus a invitation to come back and play.
As a month passed, Mao, has proven to be a twisted nightmare, but people like the Joker, Cletus Kasady, Cluemaster, and many more sick minds complimented Mao's work, especially making a whole new world to steal, destroy, and kill in...even thou Joker, was peeved that he wasn't the center of attention with Mao, causing trouble and not invite the Clown Prince of Crime.
The horrors that Mao and his Forsaken are doing to the world, without even being directly in person, forced American President, Matthew Ellis to sanction mutants, and make the X-men a government sponsored superhero group, along with the Justice League above in their Watchtower, and Titans.
Many changes have occurred not all for the better, ARGUS secured more funding and support to expand and sanctionize Taskforce X, under the condition that the super criminals apart of the team, receive better treatment, and are under the observation of the Justice League.
Waller accepted, plus this allowed the cold woman to gather more data on her new rival organization of SHIELD, as she and this Nicholas Fury, are now under direct control of the President.
Another tragedy that happened, while the world was still in chaos, Red Skull and HYDRA made a sure power play, right underneath the Avengers, and SHIELD's noses attacking AIM's private base and forcing MODOK into submission, acquiring and absorbing AIM completely into HYDRA, plus Justine Hammer, now plummeting in ranking thanks to Lex Corp, Green Inds. and Wayne Corp., there influence and financial ranking was done, Hammer's hatred and competition with Stark led him to joining HYDRA providing them with more resources in robotic.
Another that was making move was Lex Luthor himself, with the arrival of the Asgardian, Mutants, and many other races that were quite greater than humanity, and the dependence on Superman will prevent mankind from properly advance, he secretly started contacting kin individuals, that have deep animosity and knowledge against several members of the League, plus the appearance of HYDRA and Dr. Doom has threatened Luthor rise to power and greatness, especially with his future presidential campaign over with the emergence of another threat, the Forsaken, and the power that they must be holding.
Both Luthor, Red Skull, and other ambitious minds, see Mao and the Forsaken secrets to enticing.
Craving that power for their own, special assets placed in the right spot were listening and recording everything about the Forsaken, and the new powers, and forces that exist in this new world.
One thing that did pleased Luthor, the galaxy was drastically changed former alien worlds under his observation have dissappear, including Darkseid, while in Red Skull secret base he was having a similar situation the Mad Titan, Thanos wasn't in their observation anymore, along with Skuld, and Kree.
Seem that Mao focused mostly on the Milky Way, and Earth when he'd merged two universes into one, while the Guardian of the Galaxy, and this new enemy the Lantern Coreworlds were placed in the reaches of their Solar System, most deep otherworldly forces are gone.
Things were just starting, but it was certain in this new world, only the strong can stand to stake a claim for it.
Location the Justice League, Watchtower: Board Room
Meanwhile with the other groups of the world, the Justice League, in their Watchtower that was also transported to the New Earth, along with Gotham, Star City, Metropolis, and Central City.
All the League was gathered, Batman, Superman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash, Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Wonder Woman a beautiful woman with long black hair, a golden tiara, silver bracelets, in a tight short red leotard in the upper half with the top part a pair of golden ws as her emblem, while the waist area is gold, and the bottom a blue bikini like bottom with some silver stars on it.
She is one of the funding members of the League, and heavy hitters of the League, she was ashamed she couldn't have help in the Chicago incident, but her island and fellow amazons needed her, establishing some peaceful relationship with the world of man, and securing her mother, sovereignty be recognized.
Diana reported that will the amazons maintained their powers and magical blessing, the connection to the Gods, has banished, shocking news.
Seating beside Wonder Woman is Vixen, a friend and fellow Leaguer, she is a African woman short black hair, with a black, gray, and yellow designed suit.
Clawed tipped long gloves, and a magical totem from her tribe of Zambesi, this Tantu Totem, an artifact that allows the bearer to channel or enhance the power to channel, the characteristics of animals.
During the invasion, she was fighting with Kuasa, her sister who holds Water Totem, commanding water at her will, know as the Water Witch, she was trying to reason with Kuasa, and finally end animosities between them, but in the Kuasa ran, and Vixen wasn't able to aid in the invasion.
Aquaman aka Arthur Curry, is a muscular man with light brown, semi-way hair, with blond tips, tribal tattoos on his arms, and most his front body.
Wearing a orange colored armor, green fin like gauntlets, and green pants, once worn by King Atlan, now wielded by him, as the current ruler of Atlantis.
At first he had to deal with a attack from Black Manta, then the merger occurred and a new Atlantis appeared on his Ocean, outside the limits of Aquaman's kingdom after a confrontation with Namor Talokan in the Gulf of Mexican Oceans...after a near war broken out, they made a truce, as long no Ocean dwellers with the exception of the Wakandians, which they have a peace treaty, and mutual respect with.
Aquaman, teammates thanked Arthur for preventing a war from breaking out, during the most crucial moment of this new world, Aquaman shrugged and looked over at Atom.
Next was Ray Palmer, the Atom seating at the far right of the table, a man with a highly advance red and blue mech suit, with the symbol of the atom on the chestplate.
Atom, he regretfully reported to his teammates, that all his readings, even in the micro-scale has produced no results, even with Felicity, Cisco, and other geniuses collaboration non can trace or identify, what the Black Fog is or track/crack the twisted polls and show of Mao.
Barry comfort his longtime friend, and fellow hero, with Oliver also chiming in to help Ray, at the other side of the table was Billy Batson aka Shazam.
Few known that Shazam, isn't really a grown man but a teenager, that gained great mystical powers from the Gods to transform into Shazam, he wear a reddish orange suit, with a huge sometime glowing yellow thunderbolt in the chest, a white cape with a hood that he wears sometimes, but prefers to let his black hair flow.
With several golden accessories, a sash on his waist, bands, and boots, Shazam...he had a important test on the day that the Forsaken attacked Chicago, he couldn't leave and now Chicago was basically lost.
After explaining their situations and reports on the New Earth, they changed topics, the Justice League is actually glad that the government has sanctioned them, and basically made Batman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Vixen, and other vigilantes and low level heroes, official high ranking law-enforment, Batman didn't like how things were done with the Avengers group.
Too many variables, and unaccountability, with some heroes even given permission to execute their enemies, if the situation deems necessary, not only the Caped Crusader, but Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman, and other Leaguers, didn't like how many new heroes, were perfectly fine with being judge, jury, and executioners, like this Daredevil, Wolverine of the X-men, and some crazy merc calling himself Deadpool. [Deadpool: Ohh! Ohhh!! OHHHH!!! That's yours truly, the Merc With the Mouth!! Everyone's favorite wise cracking, superhero. Writer, you really need to put me in your fiction, sooner. I mean come on, your just a big fan with too much time to write. So put me in, with Wonder Babe, Canary, and Quinn with me!!! Come on. You know you're work will suc...(Mute)]
The League manage to get some control over the Suicide Squad, that Waller always abuses, but the Avenger, X-men, and other new groups and heroes, they were too wild and uncaring, Batman was already coming up with over a hundred contagencies plans for the Hulk, especially after reading reports of his origins, and exploits as a rampaging rage monster.
While Flash vouched for the Spiderman kid, which many Leaguers agreed with the Scarlet Speedster's opinion, Spiderman was loyal to his companions, so they respected the young hero, and hope in the future, he might distance himself with such extreme people as the Avengers.
Another change Nightwing, Batman original Robin has expanded and rename the Teen Titan, into the Titan, still stationed in Jump City.
The League's former young protégé have grown to become great heroes in their own right, during the invasion, they handle themselves well, stopping Ocean Master from staging a future war with the surface, stopping Brother Blood from trying to form a pact with the Forsaken, enough issue with their enemies doubling in number, last thing anyone needed is they joining with the Forsaken of all things.
Aqualad, and the Team which was renamed the Young Justice, has also expanded and has become a subsidiary to the League, still a black operative group, but with more freedom and support than before.
Green Arrow, asked Batman if they'd managed to uncover anything else of the Forsaken...and worse how the poll for identity exposure was going?
Batman, tightened his fist and let out a low sound, as he sighed and told Oliver, that about more information on Mao and his followers, nothing new all "Games" were being held in Chicago...wherever Chicago was taken to, and as for the poll...surprisingly, the option of not exposing anyone, was ahead by 22%, this caused some relief, the due date for the poll was coming to end, they'd wished no ones identity exposed, especially as this meant that all their enemies will attack more than themselves outside the custome, but also their home and loved ones.
For now things were stabilizing on the planet, peace was made with
Location the Avenger Tower: War-council Room
The entire team of the Avengers were together in a large room, with multiple holo-screens, rounded white sofa, the largest screen was active showing data of the Forsaken, from the creatures, and high ranking members.
Along with other reports about
Tony, along with Cap, who thanks to Doctor Strange, healed quickly, Thor who also healed quickly, now that Asgard for whatever power that Mao used has become apart of this New Earth, Peter in a newly repaired suit was hanging upside down from a web, he reported that most of New York hasn't been highly affected by the merger.
Some good news, apart from more cities now being apart of America, Natasha, she was reporting this changes from Gotham to Kahndaq in Egypt, Clint was thinkering with his arrows, trying to design stronger counters to those Forsaken monsters.
Bruce Banner, a semi-lankey man with light brown hair, wearing a white shirt, and simple pants, this man is the main half of the Hulk, Hulk wanting a break and the Avengers needing Banner's intellect to find any information on the Black Fog covering Chicago.
But neither him or Tony have managed to find anything, in the atomic or gamma spectrum they haven't found anything.
Ant-man aka Scott Lang he hasn't found any answers in the microscopic level, he is a red short hair man, in a red and black suit, with a ant like helmet with red lenses and special braces, that house some Pym-particals, on his shoulder was his partner, Janet van Dyne aka Wasp.
A beautiful, spirited woman with brown short hair, in a black body suit, with both yellow accents and armor on the suit, like a wasp, her helmet is wasp/insect like in design with yellow lenses, and can sprout special flight wings like a insect in bright yellow coloring.
She shrunk down to pass the time, comfortably during this meeting, she was bit pissed that she nor Scott could help, during the Chicago incident, if she was there her stingers would have beaten Mao smirk off his creepy smile.
Black Panther, T'Challa after securing Wakanda in this New Earth, he used all the Wakandian tech, and Suri aid to try and infiltrate the twisted broadcasts of Mao, but even their tech wasn't able to stop them.
He is a king, in a black and silver accent black suit, resembling a panther, like his culture and dedication to his Goddess, Bastet, Black Panther, he was disgusted by this being called Mao, and his twisted games, he fears what might happens if Mao and his Forsaken invaded Wakanda.
So T'Challa has placed all his avaliable resources to help stop the Forsaken, and rescue all trapped in the Black Fog, lastly Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel, she just returned to the Earth...or New Earth, after traveling through space, aside from world belonging to several Lantern Corps, but Nowere, or the planets of the Skuld, Kree, and other threats were gone, some good news, even if concerning, whatever power that Mao possessed it changed their galaxy as they know it, even the GoG, couldn't understand.
They been desperately trying to keep the peace and working with SHIELD, to solve the merger issue, but nothing was working.
Not tech, not magic, not science, nothing, it was frustrating for Iron Man, and all while Mao was broadcasting his sick games, onto the world.
Never have the Avengers faced someone like this, or a situation like this, to alternate Earths from different universes merged into one, and with it came all the issues, dangers, and challenges of the other.
Already the League, was trying to butt in their affairs, and claim that all enemies should be spared and locked away...while they can understand Peter, view on killing, he didn't get involve the justice system, Tony and even Steve couldn't believe that the League leaves guys like Joker, Jonathan Crane, Lex Luthor, or even Slade Wilson alive!!
They can understand not wanting to kill, but speaking up for their enemies to be sentence to prison, instead of execution, they thought the Justice League was crazy.
While good the whole anti-mutant movement has been dealt with, the new races, countries, and threats, might force the Avengers to form a secondary team to handle these growing number of threats and villains.
Plus they can use other minds, and experts to crack whatever the Forsaken has done to the planet, and Chicago, as their meeting continues on, their enemies were ploting...
