Injustice Gods Among Us

(Smallville Style )

Part 1

Present day

Star City

2023

Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow stood on top of the skyscraper overlooking his city, his home. Star City, just as he had every night for the last five years. The city was still and silent not what you would expect from any city. But things were different now. Things had changed. Things he never thought would happen, things he never fathomed to be possible, and...things he never in a million years thought would happen had happened.

Had someone told him five or ten years ago ..or even seconds after it happened, that this was how things were going to be he would have laughed in their faces. He would have told them they were crazy. He would have bet all his wealth everything he owned against it, because the reality just couldn't be possible. It would have to be some sick joke, but the sad fact is he has been staring that reality in the face for the last five years. And while there are no longer horrifying crimes happening, no more senseless crimes, no more heart-wrenching sirens in the night. Allowing children to sleep soundly in the night without the fear of hearing a gun being shot off in the midst of the night. They can dream peacefully going into their own worlds and creations of all things that are good, no longer having to fear the shadows in the night.

It is the city he had always dreamed of. The kind of city he wanted his son to grow up in when he planned to move his family back to the city. His son... How he ached to see him again, hold him in his arms even if just for a second. How long would it be until he sees him again? Did his son even remember him? He was sure Chloe would never let him forget. Chloe... A single tear rolled down his cheek. He missed her so much, he never imagine he would be away from her this long. To this day he remembered every second of that last kiss they shared never knowing it would be the last. He didn't even know if they were still alive, he hoped to God they were, but these days he was beginning to lose faith. He was slowly losing faith in everything and everyone he had once believed in. His thoughts of Chloe and their son drifted away by the synchronized marching footsteps down below.

"On patrol again..." Oliver noted. Just like clockwork, as the clock bell rang nine times announcing it was nine o'clock at night alerting everyone they should be in doors and God help them if they're not. Oliver watched the heavily armored and armed giant guards march throughout the city on their patrol just like that did every night until dawn. This was the world they lived in now, a world where there was a schedule to keep, a world where your rights are no longer your own, a world where one ruled them all.

"I know you're out there," Oliver announced silently to himself as he scanned the view around him, but could see so sign of his presence. "Where will you watch from tonight?" Though Oliver could not see him tonight he knew he was out-there somewhere watching the world below him, listening to every word that was spoken, making sure no one stepped out of line and did as they were told breaking Oliver's heart into a million pieces night after night. He wanted this to be some kind of nightmare and prayed every night for him to wake up in the morning and all would be fine, but he never did. The world would be the same as it was the only difference was with each day that passed that spark that made imperfect world feel perfect slowly died a little more. And what made it sadder was the cause behind it.

The one who had long ago premised to serve and protect the innocent, who promised to do no harm had become judge, jury and executioner all in one instant. It had happen so faced none of them were prepared. Oliver sighed heavily, mourning the loss of the worlds greatest champion and the rising of it's greatest threat. He missed his old friend. The friend who more than once had pulled him out of the darkness. It kills him that he hasn't been able to return the favor. He has more than once tried to save him, but you can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved. Can he really blame him? No... He like to blame him, he like to hate him and be pissed off at him, but he can't. After what happened how could he? How could anyone? It would be more than enough to put anyone over the edge. The truth is none of them were the same after that day. That horrible day change everyone and brought them into this never ending nightmare. A nightmare he knew needed to end, but it would come at a cost, a cost he didn't know if he could accept. He didn't want to accept it, he didn't want it to come to this, but Oliver had to accept that his friend had died that day the day when his whole world came crashing down.

Oliver looked up to the clouds as if he were searching for someone that was out of his reach. "I'm sorry, but I can't let this continue. He's gone too far. He has to be stopped." Tears rolled down his cheek knowing what had to be done. He didn't want to do it, he had hope things would never come to this, but he was left with no choice. There was no other way. "Please forgive me..."

5 Years Ago

Metropolis

2018

It had been a little more than seven years since he had revealed himself to the world as Superman, no longer saving people in the shadows. He had become a symbol of hope to the hopeless, a light in the dark. And he knew he couldn't have done that without the woman who was lying next to him sleeping peacefully. He gently brushed his lips on her shoulder kissing it softly. He still couldn't believe it. He never thought he could be this happy, he thought his happiest moment was just four months ago when they said their "Ido's", having had waited seven years to finally finish getting married, but then last night during dinner she had made him feel like the happiest man on earth.

Clark snuggled close to the woman he loved more than anything in the world. There was nothing he would not do for her. The sound of her heart beating put him at ease, no matter how far he was from home he always knew where she was and that she was okay by the sound of her beating heart. But now in the nearing early morning there was not one, but two heart beats beating. The most beautiful sound he has ever heard.

"Clark..." Lois moaned softly as she turned towards her lover, she fluttered her eyes to find him staring at her with that smug dopey smile of his. "Smallville, what is it?"

Clark rolled out of bed and began pacing around their bedroom. He could feel his heart beating rapidly against his chest, as he thought aloud of all the things that needed to be done. There was so much that needed to be done and with his job at the Daily Planet and being Superman there was a whole lot of time. "We should call Emil first thing this afternoon. There are a few people I know he trusts and will keep things quiet, not to mention that most of them are all on Olivers payroll..."

"Clark!" Lois announced knowing where this was headed.

"We should be okay during the first trimester, but I should go to the fortress and see if Jor-El can tell us anything. I don't want to take any chances." The last thing he wanted was for any harm to come to Lois and their baby. "And we'll need a bigger place, a one bedroom apartment is hardly a place to be raising a kid."

"Clark!" groaned Lois trying to get his attention.

"Maybe we should move back to Smallville, my mom would love it if we were closer and she could help out while you're at the office and I'm off being Superman. Not to mention it might be a lot safer place to raise a kid with powers, but I'm not so sure how I feel about sending our son or daughter to Smallville high." It's not that he had a bad time a Smallville high, but he didn't want anyone piecing together mysterious saves suddenly happening again in Smallville and linking it him, Lois and their child. "But then... "THUD. Clack looked down and found a book on the floor next to his feet. He picked it up and turned to Lois who was staring at him with her arms crosses against her chest and that sexy smile of hers that makes his heart melt. "Did you just throw a book at me?"

"I should be able to throw much harder and heavier things at you, especially when you're ignoring me." Lois got up and cupped his face into her hand smiling happily at him. "I'm happy our future super hero already has a high school, but don't you think we should get through changing diapers, feeding time and teething first?" She drew him closer. "Besides aren't you the one who always has said to enjoy the moment and leave tomorrow for tomorrow."

"...Sorry, I was just getting ahead of myself.," he answered, as he kissed her softly on the lips. Then kissing her harder as she wrapped her arms tighter around him pulling him closer to the bed when...

BZZZZZ

They broke apart by the sound of Lois's cellphone on the dresser. Clark smiled that understanding smile of his as Lois broke away from him and went to retrieve her cellphone. "It's the Planet. An anonymous tip, another of our great cities councilman is taking a pay off at the docks in less than an hour."

"I should come with you, it's been a while since we worked a case together," Clark announced watching as Lois got dressed. "Besides you never know what could be lurking in the shadows."

"Oh really?" exclaimed Lois looking him hard in the eyes. "I thought we were over this whole over protective thing."

"Hey I'm not the one who was duped by a little girl with pigtails."

"No," Lois smiled sexily as she made her way back over to Clark wrapping her arms around his neck. "But you were the guy got himself knocked out, by some guy pretending to be a cop."

"Point taken."

"I'll be fine Clark. We both know this army brat knows how to take care of herself."

"I know. I just worry is all," he answered her with a faint smile. "I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to you." He couldn't even bear the thought of what his life would be life if she wasn't in it.

"If only there was a way you could keep an eye on me at all times, if only you had some sort of x-ray vision combined micro vision and ...oh wait a minute. it. .."

"All right, all right," Clark chuckled. "I get it."

"Good," Lois answered as she kissed him softly on the lips. "I love you Clark."

"I love you too," he answered getting ready to drawl her in for one more kiss when his attention drew him towards their bedroom window.

"Trouble?"

"Maybe, not sure right now. I should check it out either way..."

"Then we both have somewhere to be. And don't worry, I'll have the kid with me. Need someone to snap a photo of our rotten politician caught in the act and our very own Jimmy Jr. is just the one for the job."

"You do know that his name actually is Jimmy and his brother's name was Henry."

"Yes! My cousin was married to him," Lois answered amused as she playfully shoved Clark away. Now scoot and get out of here, go put out a burning building or something."

Without another word Clark sped out of their apartment and took to the skies of Metropolis where down below he saw a figure in green fighting off some thugs. Clark chuckled as he flew down to join his friend.

"Need a hand?"

"Nope, I've got it covered Boy Scout," remarked Oliver as he shoved one of the thugs against the brick wall.

Superman crossed his arms against his chest. "That reminds me we need to talk about my code name."

"Hey, you should have thought about that before you decided to go on your own to save our speedster, just because you've come up with your own name after the fact doesn't change things," answered Oliver as he dodged an incoming blow to the head, "Besides the name still fits."

"Ah huh," Superman answered. "I'll see you on top. Then you can tell me what you're doing in Metropolis." Superman flew to the top of the building where he waited for Oliver aka Green Arrow to finish tying up the thugs.

"It's great to see you man!" announced Oliver as he hugged his friend. "It's been too long."

"Sorry that Lois and I missed Robby's birthday."

"It's alright. You had bigger things to deal with. You'll make it next year, especially since will be back in Star City which a hell of a lot closer to Metropolis."

"Speaking of which..."

"Right. ..Emil called said something came up and needed to talk to me in person."

"Why didn't he call me? I would have gotten to him sooner," Clark questioned getting very concerned that something terrible must have happened if Emil didn't want to call him first.

"I don't know," Oliver answered. "He wouldn't tell me anything over the phone." Oliver grinned seeing Clark getting all worked up. "Relax Clark, I'm sure it's nothing. ..Besides you have more important things to be worrying about."

"What are you talking about?"

"Like Lois being pregnant," exclaimed Oliver happily.

"Wh-what? How'd?"

Oliver got a good chuckle he always enjoyed putting one over Clark. "Well for one you're sweating, your pupils are dilated and both your hands are shaking. ….And maybe Chloe called me just a couple minutes I arrived," Oliver smiled. He was genuinely happy for his friends after everything they've been through and all the sacrifices they both have made. "I'm really happy for you man. You and Lois deserve this."

"Thanks."

"So you guys come up with any names yet?"

"No, we've only talked about high schools and where we plan to live."

"High school? Huh..." Oliver answered amusingly. "I think I start with a name first, but that's just my opinion. You two do what you want..."

"...Maybe I should ask Bart if he wants to be the Godfather," joked Clark. He knew that Oliver was just messing with him, because he was acting like a fool in love, but he didn't care. He was the happiest he has ever been. Everything he has ever wanted was right before him and eight months from now his world would be perfect. "I heard it's heartbeat Oliver..."

"Yeah, I remember when I heard Robby's," answered Oliver as he gripped Clark's shoulder. "Best sound I ever heard. You're going to make a great dad Clark."

"I hope so..."

"You will!" Oliver announced. "Believe me Clark, there is no greatest guy than you. Any kid would be lucky to have you as a father. You're the best man I know."

"That means a lot. Thanks..."

"Don't mention it, besides you're going to need it when Lois starts asking you for crazy meals in the night, because let me tell you Chloe came up with some pretty crazy shit. I don't think I ate for a week..."

Elsewhere... Lois and Jimmy hid in one of the warehouses out on the docks waiting for the councilman and whomever he was meeting to show up. Jimmy checked his watch, another fifteen minutes had passed since the last time he had checked.

"I don't think he's coming Lois," answered Jimmy. "Maybe someone tipped him off that we were tipped off."

"Let's give him ten more minutes," answered Lois. "Metropolis has had enough corrupt politicians we don't need another one screwing things up for Superman or any of our other heroes after all the good they've done." She recalled Ray Sacks the ex District Attorney who tried to have her killed more than once about how he was out on a crusade against all heroes, especially the 'Blur'. She swore to herself that as long as she lived she would never let that kind of corruption poison Metropolis ever again. "...Besides who shows up late to their own pay off?"

"You know if I had an hours sleep for every anonymous tip we've followed up on and it turned out to be nothing, I would be a far more rested person and be more alert for a date to go past dinner," answered Jimmy.

"When I want your opinion, I'll ask for it," muttered Lois, as she peered out to take another look when she saw a shadow heading towards them. "Get your camera ready someones coming!"

Jimmy got his camera ready and zoomed in when his heart began beating rapidly. He lowered his camera and turned to Lois. "That's not the councilman," announced Jimmy. "That's..." Before Jimmy could answer a loud BANG broke out, the last thing Jimmy heard was Lois screaming his name.

Lois's heart skipped several beats as she watched Jimmy fall to the ground in a pool of his own blood. She didn't have to check to see if he was all right. He was gone. He had died too young like his brother before him, y the hands of an insane man. She turned to face Jimmy's killer in the eyes. "Who let you out of your cage!" she exclaimed angrily.

"I've come out to play with my favorite reporter," announced Winslow Schott as he came out of the shadows into the morning light. "I have big plans for you. We're going to play my favorite game."

"Over my dead body!"

"Oh, I can't have you been giving away the ending," he announced as he crept closer to her until he was breathing down her neck. "What would be the fun in that?"
