Cherry and Atticus: Crisis on Two Earths

chapter 2

Meanwhile in Metropolis...

It seemed to be a typical day in the city so far, just as Lex and Jackson appeared in the middle of the road as a couple of cars were about to speed right into them.

"Gangway." Jackson warned Lex.

Lex then activated a shield which made the cars crash into the shield, protecting the two of them.

"Or do that and cause damage to two cars." Jackson said.

The people soon came out of their cars to see what had caused the crash.

"Good morning," Lex greeted the drivers. "Would you be kind enough to tell me where I could find the nearest police station?"

Once he and Jackson were told where the nearest police station was, the two of them went into the police station. Two men on a bench who saw them looked surprised at who they saw up close.

"Excuse me, it's very important that we--" Lex spoke up as he came to the cop who read a newspaper.

"Yeah, yeah. Cool your jets," The cop replied before looking at who came to see him. "This is a police station. Everything's important he--Luthor?!" he then gasped before he took out a gun.

"No need to make a scene." Jackson advised.

"Yes, I want you to contact the Justice League for me." Lex added.

"Or else?" The cop as he expected more from that.

"Oh, I don't know," Lex shrugged. "I'll destroy the world? Is that sufficient?"

That seemed to be enough for the police.

Meanwhile, Saiya Man and Saiya Dog moved another metal plate in place.

"Very good," Superman told them both until he put his fingers to an ear-piece as he heard an alert. "Superman. Go ahead."

"We've got a problem," Batman's voice warned. "One of yours."

"And not just yours, but Saiya Man's as well." Lady Gothika's voice added.

Saiya Man and Superman shared worried looks on their faces.

"Someone should probably go with them." Lady Gothika told the others.

"I will." Wonder Woman decided.

"Same here." Flash said.

"I'm coming with." Saiya Dog told Saiya Man.

"All right, you can come too," Saiya Man smiled. "This might break our boring streak."

"Tell me about it." Saiya Dog agreed as they went to leave to the distress call.

Once they arrived at the police station, it was understandable why there were so many armed men.

"We'll take it from here." Wonder Woman spoke up to the policemen.

Superman walked off as they were allowed to pass through and soon opened the door to find Lex and Jackson.

"Whoa!" Saiya Dog yelped before covering his eyes with a paw as it appeared that they were naked.

"Is that really necessary?" Saiya Man asked Lex and Jackson as he did the same thing.

"Oh, and they call me The Flash." Flash grimaced himself.

"What do you think you're doing?" Saiya Man asked without looking.

"We've come to talk," Lex replied. "As you can see, we're not armed."

"You're going to find what we have to say very difficult to believe." Jackson added as Superman examined them with X-Ray vision.
