The Gods Have Turned Against Us (OPEN TO EVERYONE)

[Conner "Superboy" Kent]

Superboy’s eyes were a steely blue as they scanned over the situation. He was no longer rubbing his neck. His arms were crossed, almost as if he were in defiance against the current situation. He didn’t look away even though the man was nude. He didn’t care nor did he understand emotions or why one would look away. He didn’t understand a great many things and why everyone around this man wasn’t taking great caution was one of those things.

"Wha...Who are you people?" the nude man had asked as he covered his face from any attacks. Superboy’s steely blue eyes followed the mans gaze to Sinestro before moving back to the man. His eyes were practically like daggers. "Stay away from me, the lot of you!"

Superboy felt a bit of anger boiling inside of him at that statement. Despite this anger his outward appearance didn’t change at all. His arms were still crossed. His eyes were still staring daggers at the nude man as he tried to cover himself up with his oversized pants. Despite how hopeless, scared or fearful the man might have appeared to anyone else, Superboy didn’t see him that way. No. He was a threat. And a big one at that. "What? Just a moment ago you were the one trying to kill us.. There was a hint of anger, frustration and hostility in his otherwise stoic and plain voice. Superboy wasn't going to play nice with Doctor Bruce Banner now that he wasn't a giant green rage monster. If he thought he was going to weasel his way out by returning to his normal form, he was sorely mistaken.

Superboy listened to Sinestro and Raven despite that he was still looking straight into the man’s eyes as if analyzing him. They were both okay for the moment. Which was good. Btu it also meant that they weren’t the priority. And they shouldn’t show any signs of being worn out in Superboy’s mind. This man could decide to attack them if he thought that they were weak enough for him to take. There was no doubt in Superboy's mind that the man in front of him had been coherent and in control while he was the Hulk. He had several reasons to believe that based on the current situation.


Wonder Woman’s words did little to appease the surging anger that was rising in Superboy. If anything it made it worse. Her words angered him. Of course, he remained completely stoic and stalwart on the outside. Not changing a bit. “Be observant.” Superboy told Wonder Woman his eyes not leaving the man covering himself. “If you have to rely on other people’s words it will get you killed. Anyone can lie. Besides whether or not he remembers it doesn’t change the fact he could and would level this city all on his own. If he can’t remember or he can’t control his powers it doesn’t change the facts.” His voice showed no anger despite he was angry. If anything it was stoic and indifferent. He didn’t explain his reasoning to this claim yet. He figured it was obvious. He didn’t know why he would have to explain it. The people there had been heroes a lot longer than he had been. They should be able to realize why.

No doubt he looked like ten miles of bad road. But that didn’t mean he enjoyed attention being called to it. Sighing, he nodded slowly, only silently confirming that he was not, in fact, feeling much better. But he was strong and more stubborn than most. He would not let this beat him. Watching her as she placed a hand on him, he knew what she was trying to do. Despite having it almost kill her trying to help the Hulk with the same problem, she was trying to remove his pain in an effort to help with the toxin. But it seemed the curse that horrible creature had placed on him was still going strong- he could feel no comfort from her touch. It was both a good and bad thing, as he didn’t want her suffering for him… but he would have liked some break from the discomfort he was in. Oh well. “It’s alright, Raven. I’m not dead yet. You only just escaped death yourself- maybe it’s better you take a little time to yourself.” The human was waking up, and it seemed he did not remember what had happened as his green alter-ego. Or perhaps he did, and he was good at hiding the truth to try and get out of trouble. Either way, the human looked scared, and the fear Sinestro felt coming from the other was real enough to dissuade him from thinking it was all some kind of ruse. Whatever had just happened, it didn’t look like the human before them really had any control over it. Not that the thought was entirely comforting. It simply meant the same thing could happen all over again at any moment. Not something the tired, weakened warrior was too keen on seeing. He coughed faintly, watching as Wonder Woman attempted to calm the man down by talking to him and asking him what had happened. He wasn’t sure how much information the human was going to be willing to give the lot of strange beings that they were, but he supposed it didn’t hurt to ask at this point. There was very little else they could do. Well, except fix the place up. Sinestro pointed his ring at one of the buildings, frowning when Raven mentioned that they might need a doctor. He didn’t know if she meant for him or the near naked human on the floor, but either way he didn’t enjoy the thought. He didn’t want to go back to a hospital, even if he did need help. “I’m fine,” he told the young hero, a green mist wrapping around one of the wrecked buildings, slowing restoring it to the condition it had been in before the fighting had occurred. The process of repair usually took him much less time, but with his mind so full of pain, it was difficult to focus on too much power at once. He didn’t want to risk turning the area to dust because he couldn’t keep his thoughts in line to manage his ring properly. “I will research an antidote for this venom,” he said, though he wasn’t sure how much longer he was going to be conscious, much less how much time it was going to take him to find and make an antidote. Still, if it comforted Raven, he would say it.

Bruce continued to back away in fear for his life, as the heroes crept closer. He quickly tied his enlarged pants around his lower body to avoid being nude.

“We mean you no harm any longer. I am Wonder Woman,” Diana pressed her hand to her chest, “by me is Raven and Sinestro. We are only heroes with no further intent to cause you violence. Do you have any recollection of what happened?" the goddess of a woman asked.

Bruce's fear suddenly felt as if it were drained from him, not because the woman said she was friendly. It was kinda weird. His worried face quickly flashed into a small grin. "I am Doctor Bruce Banner, Nuclear scientist... I was exposed to a large amount of gamma radiation a long time ago. I apologize if my other side attacked you, but I assure you I'm never in control whenever the Hulk takes over" exclaimed the thin and pale scientist as he walked closer. The woman that stood in front of Bruce looked like an Olympian. She had a tough build and stood taller him. Her companions also looked tough, even the big mouth adolescent.

"What? Just a moment ago you were the one trying to kill us.. If you have to rely on other people’s words it will get you killed. Anyone can lie. Besides whether or not he remembers it doesn’t change the fact he could and would level this city all on his own. If he can’t remember or he can’t control his powers it doesn’t change the facts" cried the young boy.

Bruce quickly turned his attention to the young boy and quickly jumped in defense mode, "With a mouth like yours, I'm not surprised the Hulk attacked you at all" said Bruce sarcastically. He looked looked over at Thaal Sinestro and smiled, 'a green lantern... It can't be!' He only thought these beings were a myth, but after the Greek mythical creatures attacked, anything was possible. Banner looked back at Super boy and held out his hands, "Here then... Take me into custody if you don't believe me" cried the scientist.
