INT. LIGHTHOUSE, MAINE - DAY

Arthur Curry woke up, from a long night of his injuries being healed and patched up. Groggy, he walked up in the morning, greeting his wife Mera and their baby son Arthur Jr.

He kissed his son, who was in Mera's arms. "I made it." He said.

Mera stared up at him.

"Again. Yet again." Arthur smiled wryly.

"I was informed that . . . we don't have much time left." Mera told him.

"What do you mean?" Arthur said, expression replaced by worry and caution.

INT. A.R.G.U.S MAXIMUM PRISON - DAY

CHOW TIME! Josie follows a line of other metahuman inmates on her first day having lunch at the A.R.G.U.S prison. Power-dampening collars prevented every inmate from using their abilities, including hers.

"Anytime now, Bruce . . . " she said, sitting alone at a table as onlookers would whisper about her.

17 hours.

INT. COMPUTER ROOM, HALL OF JUSTICE

"I can't believe that self-serving deity cut up our time." Cyborg said, going through files in his database. Bruce was doing the same at a computer.

"Something about life, Victor." Bruce said, "We're not only going to bring together the good guys, but we might lump in the anti-heroes as well."

"Is that really a good idea?" Cyborg asked.

"The judge did say our universe was divided." Bruce added, "But he didn't say how he'd like to see us united."

"Are we thinkin' . . . us fighting our bad guys, or standing together with them?" Cyborg said.

"All things considered. If things go south, Victor. We're going to have to fight them." Bruce said. "That's Plan B."

"Very tedious work, in my opinion . . . " Cyborg sighed, leaning back. "What's Plan A? Come together with them as one?"

"Yeah." Bruce said. "Plan C, the villains go rogue and we have to team up with the anti-heroes."

"What about whether the Judge approves or disapproves?" Cyborg asked.

Bruce looked at him. "We'll have to find someone who can get us out of this mess if we can." He said.

"Like Dr. Fate? But he's gone." Cyborg said.

"You never know, Vic." Bruce said.

"And with such short time we got, how are we going to get to all of the metahumans around the world, and the multiverse before the Judgement?" Victor asked.

"Have 'ye a little faith, and most importantly: strategy." Bruce said.

He sighed, "Where the hell's Barry when you need him?" Cyborg said.

INT. REHABILITATION FACILITY, BATCAVE

Walked in Wonder Woman, to meet Floyd Lawton and his daughter.

Might be the first time ever that Floyd's seen the gal up close. Zoe's already seen her before at a fan meet in the past.

Wonder Woman smiled and nodded, Floyd replied with a quiet nod. Zoe was overjoyed.

"W-Wonder Woman." Zoe said, hands out.
"Can I . . . have your autograph?" she asked.

Diana smiled. "Of course."

"We ever fought before?" Floyd asked.

She scoffed. "I don't think so." said Diana, smiling, playing along.
