With some assistance from T.H.U.N.D.E.R., the team managed to convince the Thai government to allow them to follow the August General's lead to Proteus' location. The area itself was the suspected headquarters of a Malay terrorist group, so the JLI was advised to be on the lookout, as it was suspected Proteus may be working with the organization.

dc_misc:

The JLI had a little downtime, but it wasn't going to last. Explosions went off outside and the ground shook. When the JLI go outside they would see giant robots attacking. Two of their members were missing.

green_lantern:

The JSA/JLI and JLA cookout was going well. Everyone was having a great time except for Dex. Quite frankly he was bored. Hanging out and talking was not his thing. He had eaten, but now he wanted a drink and soda and water wasn't going to cut it. He wanted beer and it was time to get out of here and get some beer.

green_lantern:

It had been a long fight with the Cadre, but in the end the Justice League International had won. The Cadre members were in jail and life went on. Dex grabbed a beer and kicked back on the couch in front of the tv.

green_lantern:

Dex stormed around the JLI headquarters using his ring to lift furniture and toss it out of the way. Miss Fluff was missing and Dex was /worried/. She never just disappeared. She was either sleeping on his bed or she followed him around. Now she was nowhere to be seen and he hoped something didn't happen to her.

There where some days that Nick really wished he got paid more for his work as a reporter. But having to take public transportation wasn't that bad.

He was looking over a few notes on his current assignment he was looking into while he rode on the subway. It was going to be sometime before he got to his stop and it was a way to spend a little time.

green_lantern:

Dex pounded on the heavy bag with bare fists. He had been in the gym abusing the punching bags for the past two hours now and didn't show any signs of slowing down. Sweat rolled down his bare chest and soaked his hair.

Jon groans a bit as he pushes up from the ground after the fight with the Brain Trust. Man, he hates fighting psychics sometimes. Always leaves him with pounding headaches. Its only after pondering that for a few moments before noticing something off - namely, while his head is pounding, he's sore all over. That's definitely unusual. Likewise, everything seems to be taking more effort than usual. Not terribly hard, but still - he needs to clamber awkwardly to his feet, not hover upward, which is when he notices.

Huh, that's a lot more green than he usually wears. And isn't that him... or a damn good facsimile lying on the ground over there?

jack_o_lantern:

Cian was rather glad to have a calm moment away from heroics and work. As much as he loved both of them it could get rather stressful at times and it had cut time out of his favorite thing to do surfing. He grabbed his longboard and left a note at the base telling them where he was going and inviting them to join him if they wanted before teleporting off.

The weather was nice at the beach he had picked and the surf was great. He could not wait to catch a few waves after he changed into his wet suit.

bobblehead:

The team has had a chance to settle into their new headquarters. Its taken some work, but the essentials are there. And once that was done, Pippi set right to work on the non-essential, but important business of making sure the place was stocked with good shampoo, conditioner, general health care products, and decorative items like carpeting, drapes and the rest. Despite her tendencies, she actually knows color and good taste when it comes to this sort of thing - the place looks comfortable, and like a semi-professional interior decorator got a hold of it.

But something has been missing.

Whether or not that something is a new friend for Dex, he's getting one anyway. At one point when he returns home, this (http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mau0qfm1IK1r33eyzo5_r2_250.gif) is waiting for him. Well, this, wearing a green ribbon around her neck, and a tag reading 'Miss Fluff', with her address noted on the back of the green lantern symbol shaped tag.

risky_russian:

Well, it was strange to be standing there. It was so very muggy there, a far cry from Kiev even in the summer. The heat was oppressive, especially with Oksanas thick uniform (her military uniform, *not* her hero uniform) as she walked into the large building known as the Hall of justice. She knew that she had been accepted, but nothing much beyond that. So she had a bag (which had two spares of her actual costume) and an older uniform of her military days, complete with her standard red beret denoting her Ukranian special forces.

Once she is within the building and passes the necessary security precautions, she's taken...somewhere. She has no idea of the layout of the building.

"Hello?" Oksana called out into the building. This was where she was to meet her perspective teammates, yes?

green_lantern:

Living at the new headquarters was a lot better than his small apartment. It was cleaner for starters and a lot more quieter at night. Dex hadn't slept so well in his life. Though there were times he did miss the gun shots and the wail of sirens.

Staying here meant helping out though.

Currently Dex was moving old stuff from upstairs into the basement.

The elevator opened and Dex stepped in carrying a large box.

dc_thunder:

With Pippi's amazing luck, and Dex's Green Lantern handy-ness, it was not difficult for the heroes to mop up the remains of Kobra.  While the Serpent Supreme himself got away, they'd rounded up a great deal of the soldiers and scientists of the organization and seized the remarkable technology that had gone into the space station, including its teleport tech and its stealth technology.

All in all, Director William Vance thought, not a bad day's work.  Which was why he'd asked the heroes to stick around, waiting in one of the conference rooms in THUNDER's DC office.

"Firstly," he said, as he entered, "let me thank-you all for waiting.  I'm sure you've got... secret identity things to do.  Whatever it is you types do when you're not saving this world.  I'm Director Vance, of THUNDER, The Higher United Nations Defense Enforcement Reserves.  We were formed to help pick up some of the slack left behind when the Dome and later the old Justice League International dissolved, in providing global coordination to super-heroes and otherwise facilitating handling various international terrorist organizations such as Kobra or the 1000."

He went on.  "You people did good work out there today.  And my superiors have authorized me to offer to continue to let you do good work.  THUNDER would like to be in the League business."

loveontherocks:

So. Heather had woken up today and worked on some of her sculptures. In the time since, she'd been changed into rock candy by a purple light, been nearly captured by alien robots, rescued by a girl with magic powers, told by Papa Smurf that she was the host to something called the "Predator", hauled off to an alien planet to watch the Justice League fight a bunch of Green Lanterns alongside a guy who was yellow and had fangs and a crazy Amazonian woman, met two more people with light things inside them, been told that the evil alien robots had a couple people like them and that the alien robots were working for the guy who'd destroyed Coast City, and was now floating in a bubble generated by a Green Lantern with the others like her, with other Green Lanterns, the Justice League, and a handful of Blue Lanterns, which she didn't even know existed before today.

Yeah.

She was gonna need a lot of therapy to get over this one.

The headquarters of the YJLA

For a moment, all was quiet and dark in the headquarters of the YJLA.  Sophisticated monitoring equipment kept track of emergencies around the world and in near-space, all quietly humming away into the night.

The quiet was suddenly broken by a crackle of green light, briefly illuminating the entire meeting room in its verdant glow.  The glow subsided after a moment, coalescing into a single figure out a little blue man, the symbol of the Blue Lanterns glowing upon his chest.  His expression was far from unreadable; in fact, he looked rather worried, as though the weight of the universe was bearing down upon him.

There was little he liked about this.  He would have preferred to bring his Blue Lanterns into this, but without a Green to work with, their powers were limited.  And they could not work with the Green Lanterns on this.  Not until he had had time to persuade them that this course of action was the correct one.  They would act hastily.  And though they would not admit it, they would be acting from emotion.  Things rarely went well when his brothers acted upon their little understood emotions.

Instead, he reached out with the Green power that was still his birthright and rather unceremoniously brought each member of the Young Justice League to their headquarters.

zoe_torres:

Her aim was instinctive and always perfect, but getting used to wrist mounted silencers was a different story. The roof top she practiced on was away from her usual haunts and mostly deserted. The guns were unload because she didn't want the attention. It was the cursing that was about to give her away.

It should've been easy but never having seen them used made it harder for her to make them do what she needed. Gritting her teeth, she tried again.

"!@#$%^&!"

dc_atlantis:

Koryak stood near the new shoreline of Atlantis and looked out across the water. He was tired, they all were, but the rebuilding of Atlantis was coming along at a pace no one had expected. The Atlanteans were a resourceful people and rebuilding their homes and city wasn't just rebuilding the physical, it was rebuilding their sense of identity.

Koryak had watched his father and Queen Mera work as hard as every other citizen when it came to doing things, if not harder. Koryak was right there beside them working to do as much as he could. There were a few missing faces, most notably Cait and Cerdian's. Koryak didn't blame them. He thought it was unfair that Arthur was trying to force them to marry. He was proud his sister stood up to their father and she left to do her own thing.

Koryak turned back toward the city.

The water behind him erupted into spray and figures emerged and came up on the island.

Koryak turned to face the invaders. "Raise the alarm!" he yelled before he was attacked.

green_lantern:

Dex had spent the two weeks following the final battle with the Black Lanerns patrolling Earth and the solar system. He wasn't going to let something like that happen again on his watch. It was bad enough it happened one time. He checked in regularly with the YJLA just to make sure things were quiet.

Once he felt things had quieted down, Dex was going to take some time for himself. For him that meant a few things. Pizza. Beer. Cartoons. Fighting. They were the things that made for a happy Dex. A happy Dex was a less cranky Dex.

One thing that he had thought about during the whole mess with the black lanterns was something to deal with Rose. He just needed to win a few more fights to have enough money to pay for a condo for her grandmother and brother. He didn't want them living in that bad part of the city. They deserved better and Dex would make sure they got it.

The YJLA headquarters were quiet and Dex was taking advantage of the quiet to watch some Looney Tunes.

green_lantern:

Dex stood and watched the two combatants in the ring as he waited his turn. With all the stuff that had gone down, he hadn't had a chance to fight in awhile. This was his way of relieving stress and not be a green lantern for awhile. This was his life before the ring found him and it was the only thing he knew how to do well.

He crossed his arms over his chest and watched. Soon he would be in there and life would be good.

hopeburnsbright:

Rose woke up in a strange place with a throbbing headache. The last thing she had remembered was getting knocked out of the sky by the Black Lantern Hal Jordon, and falling to the ground in the wreckage on Oa.

She was sure that she was dead.

But no, she wasn't. She had woken up hours later in the medical ward on Oa, having sustained a couple of broken bones and a mild concussion. The doctor told her that her being alive was a miracle.

As much as Rose was happy to be alive, she just wanted to leave this place. Wanted to leave and find Dex, her grandmother, and her brother. She had to know if they were still safe. She had to know what happened.

She lied in her bed, staring at the ceiling impatiently, fiddling with her ring.

dc_misc:

The city of Star City looked deserted. The citizens had either fled or had been turned into black lanterns. At the heart of the city was the entity known as Nekron. Nekron used the city as his base as his black lanterns ravaged the Earth.

The black lanterns increased their numbers each day and the power levels of the black lantern battery increased with each person that died.

Soon Nekron would have enough power to obliterate all life on this planet.

green_lantern:

They appeared out of nowhere in space above Oa. The element of surprise was with them and for a brief moment there were no black lanterns to be seen.

"Alright boys and girls, it's time to do this. We win here or the universe dies."

No pressure at all.

green_lantern:

The group of lanterns were gathered around in a circle not far from the North Pole. Larfleeze was practically bouncing that they were so close to the Fat Man's workshop and Dex swore he would punch the orange lantern just to make him stand still for longer than two seconds. They had business to attend to first and then they could talk to the Fat Man about getting Larfleeze the promised presents.

They were going to create two rings of each color to help in the fight against the Black Lanterns. They would make more, but as it was the rings were only at half power. They would have to make do with what they had until they could find a way to get to Oa and see why the rings were depowered.

Dex looked around the circle. Each color had two more rings, red had three, added to the ranks. It was time to send them out. He nodded and the newly created rings were thrown up into the air. They immediately took off and started seeking out wearers.

dc_holiday:


I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O belovèd as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

Percy Bysshe Shelley

green_lantern:

After they were done checking on Rose's grandmother and brother and dealing with the Black Lanters, Rose and Dex regrouped with the other lanterns. Then it was time to go after that bastard Larfleeze. Dex had wanted another shot at him since Christmas when the bastard was at the North Pole.

The trip to Okaara where Larfleeze was rumored to be holed up was quiet. The uneasy truce between the colors didn't encourage talking. The less words said the better. It only took a few to start a fight and right now it was the last thing they needed.

"Anyone got any ideas?" Dex asked as they approached Okaara.

hopeburnsbright:

Shortly after the meeting with the YJLA, Rose pulled Dex aside and asked him if he'd go with her to check on her grandma and younger brother, Jimmy, before they went with the rest of the Lanterns to look for Larfleeze and the orange rings. Normally, she would just go by herself, but with her ring not working properly, and Black Lanterns running amok, she felt it was only wise to have someone else along.

"I'll make this quick," Rose said to Dex as they reached her apartment building in Suicide Slums in Metropolis. "I just want to check up on Grandma and Jimmy real quick."

Years ago, the Hall of Justice had been the Earthbound headquarters of the Justice League, the compliment to an orbiting satellite portion.  It had eventually been discontinued as a headquarters, but the museum portion remained and much of the equipment was still present, usable as a back-up location.  Located in Washington DC, where the All-Star Squadron had once had their own headquarters, it remained a popular tourist destination.

Traya had spent a lot of time here, once upon a time, when her father had been damaged and stored in the computer system.

It was to here that she and Michael had come, to get the warning out to everyone else.

The headquarters portion was dusty, but Traya whisked it all away with a couple of well placed gusts and got the computer systems running.

"This is Whirlwind of the Young Justice League, to anyone reachable by this message.  Firestorm and I have encountered a zombie version of Kid Flash.  We defeated him, but we don't... we don't know if there are more of them...   YJLA HQ is wrecked.  We are requesting anyone available converge upon the Hall of Justice... repeat..."

green_lantern:

Being out on patrol wasn't one of Dex's favorite things about being a green lantern, but it came with the ring. Sometimes there wasn't much to do except throw some asteroids around, which today was one of those days. Thankfully today Rose was by his side and gave him some company.

“Something's wrong,” he said. “My ring doesn't seem as charged as it should be.”

dc_misc:

The YJLA and the Avengers had a busy week. They had been searching the globe for signs of Kang all week, but no trace of the time-traveling conqueror could be found. The people who attacked the YJLA seemed to have disappeared into thin air as well. It had been a quiet week for both teams. Little did they know it was the calm before the storm.

The two teams met at the YJLA headquarters for a brief meeting to go over the results of their searches and to lay plans for the upcoming days. Both teams were gathered in the conference room when there was a bright flash and they were all transported to a spot some distance away from Kang's Fortress at the End of Time.

It was time to fight what should be the final battle in this adventure.

shield_maiden:

The Avengers were shown to quarters in the YJLA headquarters and given some time to get cleaned up and settle in. When the allotted time was up everyone on both sides were called to the meeting room. It would be a time to do formal introductions and figure out why the Avengers were here.

Svalin found the room without any problems and entered. It was empty and she took a seat in a chair that allowed her a good view of the door.

It had been simple, very simple, and he couldn't be happier. Lex Luthor was dead. Superman was dead. Now the Justice League would be destroyed. It was the ultimate victory and it was his. He had succeeded where all others had failed. They lured them out with some random violence on ground of their choosing and then attacked.

“Now. Destroy them,” he said to his “team”.

He was invisible as he wore a helm similar to Hades'. The shadowy figure raised the trident in his hand and struck it on the ground. The ground began to rumble and shake as an earthquake shook Metropolis. He smiled and hurled the lightning bolt in his hand at the son of Superman. It was time to kill the son like he had killed the father. The Kryptonian couldn't fight what he couldn't see.

Lyta was busy controlling the demon like beings she had summoned using the Pandoran Box. The demons were currently attacking Corinna, the Amazon. In addition to her minions she wielded the Chronian Sickle which boosted her magical abilities. She was driving the Amazon back it was just a matter of moments until the Amazon fell.

Kandra had taken on the male Green Lantern and had used her yellow and violet rings against him. The man had held his own for quite awhile, but eventually Kandra had overpowered him. She was using the yellow ring to beat him into the ground.

Serendipity shouted “SIVANA!” and the proceeded to take on the new Firestorm. She called down the thunderbolt and hit Firestorm with it. Then proceeded to use her strength and speed against him.

Devil Ray was holding his own against the Atlantean, but neither one seemed to have the advantage. Though Devil Ray did wear the Cape of Leviathan hide and would not be hurt by the Atlantean's blows.

Ocelot was running circles, literally, around the Gardner girl while M'stee M'ai used her Kyptonian like powers to shoot heat beams from her eyes at Petra.

Fury attacked Alina and blinded the magic user with a burst of light brighter than the sun. As soon as Alina was temporarily blinded, she attacked with fists while as dense as she could be.

The Young Justice League was against the ropes and it would only be a matter of moments before they would be defeated at the hands of a shadowy figure and his team.

Happy Harbor was very different from Philadelphia, that was for sure.  Don meandered around the headquarters of the YJLA, looking for the first sign of a teammate.

Another new year.

A new beginning.

So people say.

Another year older for the world.

And Eli's turned twenty one.  Or eleven.  At the stroke of midnight. 

"I wonder if this makes me legal," he muttered to himself as he rummaged through the fridge. Nothing good was left. Just some pickles and enough peanut butter to make a sandwich. Which he did make.

He didn't like his birthday. It sucked to have to share it the same day as New Years eve. Things always tended to happen on New Years as well. Monsters, the end of the world. The year he turned two was, apparently, a real fun time.

But, now he was stuck in the past. And he didn't feel like celebrating the new year. So, with a soda bottle and sandwich he goes up onto the roof to watch the fireworks. As they started to go off, he started to sing happy birthday to the air.

(Takes place on Christmas Eve)

Larfleeze had been a very good boy this year. And, as he had been told from his time spent on Earth, good boys and girls got presents from Santa Claus at Christmas time. He had waited very patiently all year, working on his Christmas list. And it was a very long list indeed. But, he had been good this year, so he deserved each and every present.

And so, Larfleeze made the journey from the Vega System to Earth, to the North Pole to Santa Claus's village. He flew straight into his office, slamming his list on the desk.

"I have been very good this year," he said to Santa. "I DEMAND that you give me all of my presents! You have to!"

partdemon:

Mike had talked to Sindella about what the girls had been up to so secretly and may have used telepathy to read her surface thoughts and found out about Rate the Hunk. Sindella had not been very happy about that and made him swear not to ask anything more about that and that he was going to have to do something big to make it up to her.

But he had been given the idea to host a rate the babe event for the guys because that sounded like a ton of fun to him. Since he was done with classes for the semester he drove to metropolis to set things up for the party at his dad’s penthouse there.

He sent out invites to all the teams he knew about that they could come and also made a special note to the teleports to not try directly teleporting inside with the wards his dad had set up

.He then set up the projector for the photos and got enough food and drinks to feed everyone one then some.

hopeburnsbright:

Rose hummed to herself as she wrapped presents. She sat at a long table, at the youth center that she volunteered at in downtown Metropolis. Today was the center's annual holiday party, and there were only a couple of hours left before the kids would arrive, and there was still a lot to be done.


Which was why she had invited Dex to help her. She wasn't entirely sure if he would show up, but she thought that it would be a good way for them to get to know each other outside of the Lantern business. Also, as Dex wasn't really familiar with Christmas, it would be a good way for him to get to know the holiday a little better.

And she also told him that there would be free food. Lots of it.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." JFK

In America today is a day for being thankful for the things in people's lives. Today was a day to celebrate family, friends, prosperity and health with food, family and friends. It is a time to reflect on what is important us and to recognize the gratitude we hold for having those things in our lives.

Grandma Sunshine was in the kitchen, baking goodies for her grandchildren, who were all nicely taking their naps in the little bedroom that she'd tucked them in.

She would have to leave them to run a couple of errands in a little while, and she'd arranged for some babysitters for her super-powered kiddies, but she couldn't wait to spend the whole afternoon with her new grandkids.

Meanwhile, the YJLA would find themselves waking up...and finding something was different.

dc_baddie:

Mary Lou Sunshine had always wanted grandchildren.

Unfortunately for her, her son would never leave the basement long enough to meet a nice girl and get married and lovely little babies for her to spoil.

Still, she wanted grandchildren. So she was going to get some grandchildren.

And who better to have as grandkids than those nice little boys and girls in the Justice League?

Grandma Sunshine walked right up to Young Justice League headquarters, a basket of goodies in hand. She rang the doorbell, a smile on her face.

dc_holiday:

All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween as it has been come to be called, is a popular holiday with children and adults alike. It is a holiday that had its roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain or Summer's End. Samhain celebrated the end of the "lighter half" of the year and the beginning of the "darker half".

On this evening the barriers between this world and the Otherworld were believed to be thin and the spirits, good and bad, of the dead could pass through. The spirits of the family's ancestors were welcomed in while evil and bad spirits were warded off by the wearing of masks and costumes. The costumes and masks disguised one as a harmful spirit and avoided harm from others.

It was also a harvest celebration and time to take stock of food stores for the winter. Livestock were slaughtered and the meat prepared for storage. It was the final harvest of the year and the crops were then stored for the winter. Celebrations included bonfires and tales of the family's ancestors.

It was a celebration of the dead and of the harvest.

Today we dress up in scary and not so scary costumes and masks and go door to door for candy or attend costume parties. It is a night for revelry, pranks and fun.

There weren't many places on Dex's body that didn't hurt. The fight had been a long and brutal one, but in the end Dex had won and had two thousand dollars for his efforts. He had taken a beating in the process and he was sure that he had some broken ribs and some broken fingers, but they were injuries he was quite familiar with. The gash on his head had stopped bleeding by the time he returned home, but the water from the shower had reopened it a bit. Thankfully Dex had discovered that super glue would seal a wound.

The heat of the shower had helped take some of the pain away for a little bit, but it returned not long after he stepped out. Bruises were already starting to form all over his body, but like everything else they would go away with time. He was used to various parts of his body being bruised and beat up. He wrapped a towel around his waist, stepped out of the bathroom and headed for his room. All he wanted to do was lay down on his bed and not move for a day or two.

Selene, once the goddess of the moon before Artemis, walked toward the office building of a small subsidiary of LexCorp. She raised her hands and beams of light shot from her hands and shattered some of the windows. People inside screamed and started to panic as shard of glass went everywhere.

dc_titansofmyth:

Oceanus, Titan and once ruler of the oceans, rose from the waters of the North Sea close to the Faroe Islands. He looked at the large monstrosity of a LexOil oil drilling platform rising out of the water. These mortals had the nerve to poison his oceans. Oceanus would show them what happened to insolent beings who dared to poison Gaea with their technology.

Oceanus summoned the power of the ocean itself as he moved toward the platform.

A small herd of Hippocampus had charged in and taken over the harbor of Happy Harbor. They attacked any ships or people that got close to them.

They did not seem to be going after anyone once they got away from the herd.

The waters of the Atlantic could be turbulent and deadly with the storms that kicked up the waves. Today it was a bright sunny day and the waters were calm.

Or were calm.

The waters around a fishing trawler in the Grand Banks erupted in a spray of water. The Leviathan, a creature of myth and legend, was alive and hunting in the waters of the North Atlantic. The large monster roared and attacked the fishing trawler.

The captain of the boat managed to get a short message to shore before the ship started to sink, taking cargo and crew with it.

The weather was absolutely perfect for holding a cookout.

Tables had been placed on the roof of headquarters and the large grill fired up to get nice and hot. Burgers, hot dogs, sausage, ribs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, salad and fruit salad were just some of the food available to eat. Soda, water, fruit juice and other beverages were on ice.

The YJLA worked as a team and as a family to prepare the food. When they were ready, they carried it all outside and started their celebration.

It was a day of rest and relaxations for those who put their lives on the line for others.

The seven head serpent known as the Lernaean Hydra walked of Lake Michigan and on to the streets of Chicago striking out to attack people with its many mouths. As dangerous as it was the poison it was breath was causing just as much trouble.

The police were doing the best job that they could to contain the situation but they were not trained to deal with anything like this. They needed help and fast.
