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."

All across the country, members of the Cult of Kobra were striking.  Technology thefts had already been on the up, as well as weapons thefts from various government depots.  The serpents struck without mercy, taking what they needed, and fleeing just as quickly.  Both Barr brothers had been dead for years, but the organization had fallen into other hands.  It was speculated that the long term goal was the selection of a new Kobra...  but in the meantime, under the guidance of someone called the Serpent Supreme, their short term goals of terror, in preparation for the coming Kali Yuga, remained unchanged.

And soon... the world would know even greater terror that it had before.
