Spidergwen: I have a system?!

Chapter 78: Darkseid War II

[3rd POV]

At the question, the group looked at eachother. Each of them were...not looking the best. Noticeably cut in various parts, with seemingly unhealed injuries still prevalent on their bodies.

"...Darkseid happened. That's what they call him, at least" Conner replied, causing Gwen to breathe out a sigh.

"They invaded a week ago, targeting the different League locations. They had even cut off the major satellites, cutting off major communications around the world. Only the League and parts of the United States have the ability to communicate at the moment" Zatanna added, causing Artemis to speak up.

"My mom, is my mom-" "She's okay. The League evacuated all family of the League the second they could. She's kept in a secure location with the rest of the League" Dick said, cutting Artemis off, causing her to breathe out in relief.

"And how many are there? Invaders" Gwen asked, knowing this would be important, as her eyes hardened. Now wasn't the time to joke, now was the time to get serious, and now as the time to finally start using her intelligence and knowledge.

"100,000 at least, and is constantly increasing by the minute" Kaldur replied, causing Gwen to nod.

"Good, still manageable numbers" Gwen muttered, as she began to think of ways to deal with the tide, and return communications to the world.

"Manageable numbers?! We've been fighting for an entire week and haven't even taken out a thousand of them! Not to mention Darkseids elite!" Conner replied, causing Gwen to glance at him.

"It's manageable for me, Conner. Did you really think I didn't have plans in place for something like this? Not to mention I've already got like 10 different ideas for returning communications, all of which I can complete within the next couple of hours. Making a new and much stronger satellite should be more than enough to fix that little issue" Gwen replied, ignoring his rude tone, understanding where he was coming from.

"You had plans for this? Why didn't you tell the League?!" Rocket asked, causing Gwen to stare at her, deadpanning.

"You think they'd trust me? Sure, pops would and probably a couple of others. But Superman? Captain Atom? Hell no, those two would say no the second they heard what the plans entail, and who is helping me execute them" Gwen responded.

"It's Luthor isn't it?" Dick asked, causing her to look at him and smirk.

"Yep. I gave the guy a very special blueprint and some materials to build some...insurances against this sort of thing. Not to mention several other ideas I have to strengthen the resistance to this invasion" Gwen replied, causing them to sigh.

"Yeah...Supes wouldn't be happy with that, so I guess I can't blame you for that. But how come you couldn't tell us? You know we wouldn't tell them, just like we haven't told them about your other...tendancies" Conner said, causing Gwen to sigh.

"That's my fault, but in my defense...some of these plans are not really something I'd like sharing due to the actions they involve, and the people I'd need to get involved" Gwen replied, causing them to raise an eyebrow and squint at her.

"What sort of people?"

"That...is a secret. Now, let's get to the cave. Do the Zeta-tubes still work?" Gwen asked, as they walked.

"Yes, but we have to be careful when using them, as if Darkseid knew, it'd make getting around a lot harder" Dick replied, causing Gwen to hum and nod.

"Alright good, I'll have to get to Lex and see how the...plan I had went. But first, I'm going to need some space to make a satellite strong enough to take the brunt of the communications for the world, while also being cloaked from Darkseid and his forces...should be easy peasy" Gwen said, as she mentally began to go over the materials needed, and how long it would take to produce.
