[David Lance POV]
I walked out of Lucifer's bar, leaving Raven in charge of Kara, as I took so ti to think things out.
I needed to start planning for the upcoming war, and I had no idea where to start, with Superman ti had been on my side. This ti, however, fortune wasn't so kind as to smile at .
At least this ti I wasn't fighting alone.
As I pondered about my situation, I felt a chill in the air alerting my senses. Sothing had changed in the atmosphere, bringing a feeling that each second grew and tightened until I felt like I could reach out and touch it.
I don't know how I knew it, but I knew sothing was approaching earth, and it was coming for .
And it had to be Brainiac. I knew Darkseid, better than Brainiac at least, and if wanted to kill , he would not resort to a surprise attack, not with .
As darkness descended over this feeling of inevitability, I ordered my troops, the ones I had acquired at Apokolips to get into formation to face the oncoming threat, giving them clear orders through my rings.
"What happened?" Raven asked, appearing through a portal with an alard expression, one that clearly implied she had felt my sudden switch of emotions.
"Brainiac, he's coming," I replied, giving Raven a small glance before turning my attention to the sky. "We are severely underprepared, you must find Batman, and start evacuating people to shelters."
"I won't let you fight him alone," Raven shot back, understanding what I was intending to do without needing to tell her.
I smiled at her. "Last ti, Brainiac captured because he had caught off guard, at the ti I hadn't been aware of his existence or his intentions with . Now I am, so don't worry, I will disassemble that over-glorified toaster."
Raven frowned, feeling the lies and the truths between my words mix. The truth was, I wasn't entirely sure how I would fare against Brainiac, but that didn't matter.
I would win.
Regardless of the cost.
I refused to lose when I was so close to finally go back ho, to finally break out of this hell that little bastard had sent .
I wanted to see my sister.
Oliver.
I wanted to have the normality that had been taken from .
"You die on , and I will kill you," Raven threatened in a way that really had no bite, but that showed how much she cared, how much I ant to her.
I smiled once again. "A good luck kiss?"
"Ask later," Raven replied with a faint, yet playful smirk, before teleporting to do what I had asked her to do.
I sighed, so much for Knight's blessing from a maiden's kiss. Oh well, I guess that's alright. I'm no knight, no hero, no villain, just a guy who wants to go fucking ho.
Shaking my head, and pushing my thoughts aside, I cleared my mind readying for battle, and once my head was empty, I took off to face Brainiac.
--------------------------------------------------------
I flew into space, reaching my army within monts, and waited.
"Good kitty here, good kitty sent by mate, mate scary," Dex-Starr said, hovering around my legs for a mont before brushing against them.
"You an Raven sent you?" I asked, holding a smile from taking over my face.
Dex-Starr nodded. "Scary mate sent , good kitty here, good kitty ready to kill."
I cracked a smile at that, petting the little rascal for a few monts before turning my attention back to the horizon, after all, Brainiac was finally here.
"Unexpected," Brainiac spoke, his voice breaking through the emptiness of space like a hot knife through butter, as his seemingly endless armada ca into full view, showing I was heavily outnumbered. "It was not within calculation for you to be waiting for . No matter, the result will still be the sa."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I shouted, blasting everything in front of , destroying in the process millions of his soldiers.
At tis like this, I was really glad I had these powers.
"A futile endeavor," Brainiac said through the debris, shooting at with so sort of projectiles that moved faster than light itself, however, before they reached , I destroyed them by sending a wave from my Rage ring.
"Impressive, those projectiles were specifically made to counter the emotional spectrum of the rings, and their energy, yet it seems that you still managed to overload their circuits with your ring," Brainiac praised, his eyes scanning over , literally, I could see his pupils change colors, and my rings confirming he was inspecting .
On another note, I just now realized sothing, Brainiac was perfectly fine, he had tanked my earlier scream, and his body was showing no signs of damage, at all. This didn't bode well.
"Three rings, rage, will, and hope," Brainiac said, his tone cold and detached. "Subject reveals an energy output of 291% over normal capacity, adapting data."
"Kill them all Dex-Starr," I said, before charging at Brainiac, however, just as I'm about to hit Brainiac, he moves to intercept , stopping my incoming punch with his hand.
"Resistance is futile but is highly educative, so I will allow it," Brainiac said, staring into my eyes.
I give him no reply and move behind him, punching him, into Jupiter, where I had just now decided we would battle. On that note, punching him had felt like punching a wall of steel, but as a human.
I might have to use sothing more than brawn to win this fight.
"Any type of physical force has no effect on ," Brainiac said, showing once again my attack had done nothing. "Your rings won't work on , and your power lacks the focus to work on as well, be that as it may. Show the limits of your existence, an anomaly."
I cracked my neck, side to side. "Don't you tire of hearing yourself? Honest to God, you're annoying."
Once again, my powers prove to be useless against him, but like before he's giving more than he should have because now I have sothing to work with.
"Don't worry, you won't be hearing my voice once I start to dissect you," Brainiac replied, taking a step forward.
