Arthur held the duke football in his hands, Pulling his arm in a backwards direction "You ready my boy?" he asked "Ready when you are Dad" replied Arthur Jr he stretched out his hands as Aquaman threw the ball towards his son, Arthur Jr took a few steps backwards while watching the ball travel through the air at the same time, The boy caught the ball and held it tightly towards his chest but in the process of catching it he lost his footing and fell backwards into the arms of his mother "Gotcha sweetheart" said Mera who now had her hands on his left shoulder and back, Helping him stand upright "Thanks mom, Oh wait I just remembered" he then threw the football down as it bounced off the floor "AND THAT IS A TOUCHDOWN!" shouted Cyborg.
The male heroes in the room & Arthur Jr lifted their arms and screamed out in celebration of the touchdown except for J'onn and Batman they instead smirked at the scene happening in front of their eyes, The ladies of the JL & Superman laughed out loud "I think we've just discovered Tom Brady's newest rival" said Kal, Aquaman grinned at what Clark had said "So did you two talk about everything you needed to talk about?" he asked, Diana and Kal looked at each other & smiled "Yes we did" she replied, Their foreheads touched as the both of them closed their eyes for a few seconds.
The couple separated but their hands stayed intertwined "Arthur, Mera, I need to apologise to you two and Atlantis for the damage that my fellow kryptonians did to your oceans via the use of the kryptonian world engines on the day of the black zero event and the fact that I just left the debris in that same spot after the battle between me & Zod's followers had ended, I am" said Kal
Arthur & Mera looked at each other in confusion "My brother let me just stop you right there, That was not your fault, If anything we should be thanking you, If you had not destroyed that machine it would have done catastrophic damage, When it first activated (I, Tula and a large group of my soldiers) ventured out towards the spot where it was, Our intention was to try and stop it but when we saw how powerful it's gravitational field was and how it was pulling everything on the ocean floor towards the white laser beam and then crushing it, I knew then that we couldn't stop it, So I did what I thought would be best, I sent out a mental message to the various creatures of the sea and told them to stay far away from this spot & dispersed my large group of soldiers in various different directions to save any (Ships, Submarines, Crew members & Divers) that were in the vicinity of that spot & get them as far away as possible, Tula came back to me and reported saying that a man dressed in blue was flying around & battling the machine".
Supes expression became one of slight embarrassment "In that moment I swam upwards onto the surface of the water & watched as you and the machine fought one another, It then caught you and threw you directly into it's white laser beam, Me and Tula both thought for sure you were dead until we noticed that you were flying down towards the spot of the ocean floor where the world engine was terraforming, We watched through the wall of water that was surrounding as you stood taking all that gravity and power directly onto yourself" said Arthur "Must have been extremely painful" said Mera "Yes it was" Kal replied "Then you flew directly upwards, Me & Tula couldn't believe what we were witnessing, Moments later we heard your scream of rage and then an explosion which made me quickly grab Tula and swim far away from it while avoiding the now falling debris of the world engine, Once I had got Tula away, I told her to stay where she was & quickly swam back to the spot in order to look for you" "You went back to look for me" said Clark.
Arthur nodded his head "I was the one who pulled your ass back onto the land after the world engine exploded, After checking that you were still breathing, I left you on that rocky surface and then went back into the ocean, Fact is Clark we have met each other before the world engine incident, Do you remember that Oil Rig fire in 2013, Who do you think sent those two whales to save you and take you to the shore" "That was you" said Clark "Yeah that oil rig fire was started via a torpedo from a submarine that was being driven by an enemy of mine called Scavenger, I and Kahldur had spotted his submarine & both agreed that it would be fun to ruin Scavenger's day, I swam underneath the submarine, Using my hands & my strength I pushed the Sub all the way to the top so that it would break through the surface of the ocean, Me and Kahldur jumped onto the roof of the Sub with the intention of going inside and beating up Scavenger & his men, Seconds later the roof hatch of the submarine opened up to reveal Scavenger himself armed with a gun in his hand, Kahldur quickly kicked the gun out of his hands which allowed me to grab Scavenger, Moments later the torpedo was fired as we watched it make impact with the oil rig, Scavenger then said you have two options right now, I could deal with him and his men & let all those innocent rig workers die or choose to rescue the workers & allow him to escape".
