Cyborg floated in space being transported instead of killed by being hit by Darkseids Omega Beams and a traveler just happened upon him. His radar easily picked up life in a void of none. Robotic Tentacles wrapped around Victor's waist bringing him in like a fish caught on a line. The cyborg floated into the hall and stopped above what looked like an operating table. A green fleshed humanoid with purple spheres that glowed over his onyx colored suit, stood above Victor looking down at the days catch.

Legion Headquarters

"The Joker has gone rogue" Penguin shouted half standing and pounding his fist.

Lex looked un-amused at the dramatics. "Joker has always been rogue. He has worked with almost all of us and has tried to kill almost all of us except now he is succeeding." Deathstroke stood vigil behind his client, never moving as if he was a mannequin but his left eye moved examining the room and the faces in it.

"Go ahead and ask us the riddle." Riddler proclaimed. "Who would be crazy enough to work with the craziest? I definitely fit the bill, but I also know at the end of it he would double cross me so there would be nothing in it for me."

"Glad your loyalty extends as far as your self-preservation" Cheetah said bearing teeth.

"But my honesty seems to be a problem. Theres a riddle" He giggled to himself.

"So we sit here and wait for him to come to us or we go to him? What other options are there? Earth could be destroyed any minute so I don't see what it is we are all doing here anyway?" Captain Cold said irritated.

"I hoped to take ALL of us away from here, until everything passes." Lex answered

"So we run like cowards!? That's your answer!?" Penguin shouted his displeasure not wanting to leave Gotham

"My answer is to survive. My answer is to run from the unknown until we know what we are up against and plan accordingly. You can stay and fight Darkseid if you like. Doomsday, or the League of Shadows." Lex said looking back directly at the penguin. "You and your goons wouldn't last 5 seconds" and Penguin knew it to be true

"And how do we leave the atmosphere and galaxy without being seen by them that are already up there?" Cheetah asked Lex

Sinestro walked into the main hall as if called on cue. "Sorry I'm late." He smirked under his pencil thin mustache.
