"No matter what, I still think running away from home is the worst idea ever. Jenna, I think you'd better reconsider."
Shrugging, Courtney said to her friend.
"This isn't running away from home, Courtney, this is…"
Jenna hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just want some peace and quiet. I don't know if Eric is doing the right thing, and I've been in a state of hesitation and confusion."
"But I think this is still avoiding the problem. Maybe we can convince Eric. Or find a group of people to form a new Justice Society, and then we can call Eric's Justice Society the 'Injustice Society'."
Courtney had always been bothered by Eric taking her Justice Society.
Now, she was eager to reclaim the Justice Society that belonged to her father.
Of course, it would be even better if she could get her Star Scepter back.
After all, her father was the Justice Society's superhero—Starman.
"Ahem!"
Jenna said somewhat unnaturally, "I heard Pat say that your biological father wasn't a very good person; he wanted to take the necklace off you the first time he met you."
"He's not my father!"
Courtney got a little angry whenever the man she had met recently was mentioned.
"Alright, I just heard it from Pat."
Jenna quickly skipped over the topic. She was about to say something more when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps from downstairs.
Then came a bang, the sound of a room door being pushed open.
Jenna and Courtney looked towards the door and saw Mike enter, panting.
"You… you should come down and watch TV!"
Mike said to the two, out of breath, "We're being invaded by aliens again!"
"Aliens?!"
Hearing Mike's words, Courtney exchanged a suspicious glance with Jenna.
Then, she and Jenna got up and went downstairs.
In front of the TV screen, they indeed saw a terrifying sight!
Demonic creatures filled the sky, attacking the crowds in the city.
Combined with the panicked tone of the announcer and the visually impactful scenes on the TV screen, Jenna and Courtney were completely stunned!
With an expression of disbelief in her eyes, Courtney was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
She pulled out her phone and saw it was her good friend, Wildcat.
"Hey, Courtney, did you see it? The monsters on TV in Metropolis, those monsters are attacking us!"
Wildcat's excited voice rang from the other end of the phone.
"I know, I've already seen it."
"Uh-huh, good, now it's time for our Justice Society to move out!"
Wildcat's excited voice rang out. She said to Courtney, "And Midnight Doctor, Hourman, remember to contact them!"
"Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Courtney shrugged at Jenna.
"It seems no matter what, they can't stay idle!"
Courtney complained about her friends.
"Hey, Courtney, if you guys are going to act, can you take me with you?"
Mike next to her looked at his sister with anticipation.
"No! No! Mike, it's too dangerous for you. You'd better stay home as our reserve, just like before."
Courtney immediately rejected Mike's suggestion.
"Alright, I knew you'd say that!"
Pouting discontentedly, Mike cast a disappointed look at his sister.
He had already decided that no matter if his sister agreed to let him participate in their operation or not, he would not hide at home.
This feeling of being unable to do anything…
He hated this feeling.
On the other side, at Kent Farm in Smallville.
Rachel was holding the book that sealed the Fairytale Queen, pondering the magic she had recently learned.
After Eric sent her home, she was ordered to reflect at home for at least three days.
Although the final outcome in Central City was a false alarm, her brother's identity was exposed in front of Sophia.
So Rachel felt somewhat frustrated.
"Do you know what brand of cigarettes is the best?"
The old woman sealed in the book asked Rachel.
"I don't know."
Rachel thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Camel?"
She only remembered that brand because her family's cigarettes were that brand.
"Of course not Camel, you idiot! Camels taste like oak leaves aged for over two hundred years. The best are Lucky Strike. Men don't like to smoke them because they've never truly enjoyed what real lingering flavor is!"
"You know, men always prefer directness; they don't like this soft taste!"
The Fairytale Queen expressed her rather bold opinion.
"Maybe!"
Rachel said distractedly.
"You were distracted when you practiced the magic I taught you earlier."
The Fairytale Queen asked her, "You're still a child, why do you have so many worries? This doesn't fit your age group's characteristics!"
"I'm just thinking about how to make big brother not angry anymore."
Rachel said in a low voice.
"That's not a good sign!"
The Fairytale Queen said, "He is your brother, your relationship is a bit unusual."
"I don't understand."
Rachel thought for a moment and replied.
"Forget it, you'll understand when you grow up!"
After the Fairytale Queen said this, she stopped speaking.
Rachel knew she must be going to sleep now.
Outside the farm, Amanda of the Tianyan Society, with her well-trained subordinates, had already arrived at the farm's perimeter.
She had come to transfer Martha and Rachel according to Eric's orders.
Looking up at the somewhat gloomy sky in the distance, her brows furrowed.
She had already known about the invasion of these alien creatures.
During her time serving Eric, she had already gathered many metahumans in prison.
Although the previous Suicide Squad plan had failed, she had created a metahuman team again to demonstrate her abilities and to deal with these increasingly rampant anti-government metahumans.
And she had organized and armed the metahuman team.
Just as she was about to let her subordinates enter the farm, she unexpectedly encountered unexpected guests at the farm.
Mera, the Queen of Atlantis with wine-red hair, arrived at the farm with the Ice Queen.
Seeing Amanda's visit, she looked somewhat surprised.
"Why are you here?!"
"According to the President's orders, to transfer Ms. Martha and Miss Rachel."
Amanda said to Mera expressionlessly.
She didn't have a good impression of this woman who always appeared in front of Eric but whose identity was very suspicious.
"Is that so?"
Mera nodded, "Just leave the task of protecting Mrs. Kent and Rachel to me."
She unceremoniously took over the task that belonged to Amanda.
"No! That's impossible!"
Amanda immediately refused, frowning at the red-haired woman in front of her, "Orders are orders, we cannot disobey the President's orders!"
"So, you won't back down here?!"
Mera could feel the impoliteness in Amanda's eyes. She took a step forward and asked the other party.
"Yes, I will not back down!"
Amanda responded to Mera with an even tougher attitude and stance.
Just as the two women were at loggerheads, the farm gate was pushed open, and Martha walked out.
Seeing Martha walk out, the tense atmosphere between the two groups eased somewhat.
Mera was already quite familiar with Martha, so with Martha's consent, the Queen of Atlantis stayed to protect the farm, and Amanda went back to participate in the battle.
After a displeased Amanda left, Rachel also came down from upstairs.
"Sister Mera, what happened?"
Rachel asked Mera.
"Some minor problems."
Mera told Martha and Rachel about the situation currently faced by Metropolis and other cities.
"No! I must go help big brother!"
As soon as she heard that Eric was fighting alien monsters, Rachel immediately couldn't sit still.
Like Rachel, there were many others who couldn't sit still.
Gotham City.
Catwoman Selina also began to act on the streets.
Selina, who considered herself a part of this city, naturally would not stand by and do nothing.
