More Than Anything - The DamiJon Sequel

Unusual Suspect

"The intergalactic senate has been attacked." Tai revealed.

"What? When?" Damian asked, surprised.

"Just today... I got word from Jessica Cruz... they're handling the investigations..." Tai explained. 

"Do they know by who?" Damian raised a brow.

"Apokolips." Tai revealed.

"Damn them..." Damian growled. 

"There's more." Tai pointed out.

"More?" Damian asked.

"You better get here..." Tai requested. 

"On our way." Damian nodded as he ended transmission. He looked to Cissie, who nodded as she walked away to go ahead, and zeta to the Watchtower. Jon was still resting his cheek on his husband's shoulder, frowning while sniffling lightly. "My love..." He said softly as he cradled his cheek.

"Hug." Jon said silently. Damian wrapped his arms around Jon, hugging him tightly. "Love me, Dami..." He pleaded.

"I do, Jon." Damian rubbed his back. "We have to go to the Watchtower..." he pointed out.

"Mhm." Jon nodded. Both Damian and Jon then headed into the zeta tube, to go to the Watchtower.

The Watchtower.

"Recognized. Batman. Z-0-9. Superman. Z-1-0." The zeta tube announced as they emerged in the main hall. Cissie was standing next to Cassie as Damian and Jon made their way to her.  

"Hey..." Cissie said softly as she smiled at Damian, who smiled at her, then held Jon's hand for comfort as they stood next to each other. 

"Lantern." Damian called to Tai, who was talking to a fellow Green Lantern, Jessica Cruz. "Update." he requested. Tai nodded as he finished speaking to Jessica, who exchanged nods with Damian, then made his way over to him.

"Jessica's not staying long... she's the head investigator in the senate attack." Tai informed him.

"What happened?" Damian raised a brow. "Did they know who did it?"

"No..." Tai shook his head. "But they do know... it was Apokolips..."

"When did the attack happen?" Damian raised a brow.

"A couple of hours ago..." Tai explained. "Everyone was slaughtered."

"So... the intergalactic senate..." Damian started to assume.

"Is no more... Darkseid's making his move."

"Then we should move too..." Jon pointed out.

"No. Too risky." Damian shook his head. "Apokolips now is like a fortress... no offense... you could get killed if we bust in... and that's the last thing I want to do." He looked to Jon, who nodded. 

"Well... we could help with the investi-" 

*BWONG* *BWONG*

"Emergency broadcast incoming!" The klaxons were in full force as the computer announced. 

"This is an open broadcast... Everyone... don't respond." Damian commanded. The crowd of heroes stayed silent as Damian pulled up the footage. A huge holographic screen appeared, with a mysterious masked figure appeared, on the screen.

"Planet. Earth." The figure began, his voice was distorted, unrecognizable. "Prepare... as we will visit your planet, in destruction... in bloodshed... and we will do it in his honor..." he continued. "Lord Darkseid will come... when he fully recovers to rule over your world... for now... We will... destroy your world, and its precious heroes... for the glory of Lord Darkseid!" he exclaimed as cheering could be heard in the background. "You will all suffer... by our hands." He clenched his fists shut, before the transmission ended. The screen disappeared as Damian and everyone else stood in silence.
