With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Most of them seem pretty fun. Except for White Dragon. That guy seems to be enough of an asshole that even the Nazis are like, "This fucking guy."

If nothing else, the moments with Atom Man were pretty funny.

And this is them being better adjusted socially because in their world they get to be superheroes that do superhero things.

That Reichsmark guy also seemed like an asshole that they disliked.

Wouldn't the Lasso be able to free Superman of his possession? As long as his soul is still in his body, it should be able to expel the demon.

Assuming the Lasso is even capable of that.

The powers of The Lasso vary from Universe to Universe and a lot of the time from writer to writer so sometimes it can do a specific thing other times it can't.
 
Doesn't look like being under the control of a demon who doesn't care whether you live or die isn't much healthier for the superpeople than it is for the proles.
The double negative makes this sentence not work. Either "Looks like being ... isn't much healthier" or "Doesn't look like being ... is much healthier".
 
i'm imagining the next chapter to start with them ripping off a mask and having demon superman say "That's right! it was me the Horror of War the whole time and i would have gotten away with it to if it hadn't been for you nazi's and your magic rope.
 
Yay!...go Team...Nazi...

This feels so wrong.
I wish Kid Flash were in the fight so someone could say it without it being weird.
KF however has grown up and may or may not say these things.

Need a different young sidekick.

Of course when it comes to Paul, there are alot of things the team(YJ) may end up doing without batting an eye because weirdness is par for the course with him.

Which wouldn't usually do very much, but between the eye damage, kryptonite radiation and concussive head trauma, he doesn't think to use his flying ability to negate their pull. Demon Superman goes down hard, face first into the rubble, which looks impressive but doesn't do anything to injure him further and makes it impossible for us to hit his eyes any further.

I fire another mage slayer round and wait for orders as Diana and Artemis begin to tie him up and Shadow of War settles back down on his head.

"I know that he was a great man." Atom Man floats closer, another charged shot pointing at the top of Demon Superman's head. "But would it not be kinder to kill him? If I had done this to the Fatherland, I would not thank you-"

Overman and Superman slam into opposite sides of Demon Superman's head, the air buckling and blasting outwards at hurricane force!

Atom Man leans into it, the push of the wind fighting against his flight system.

"-for sparing me."

"Think it through, Atom Man. This world is a wreck. They need him alive to put it back together again."

"Ah. Cruel, but practical."

Demon Superman manages to move his right hand, scrabbling for something to push against. I fire another teleported mage slayer and Atom Man shoots the questing hand, causing visible burns to appear on the back and making it spasm and draw back.

"Baroness, bring in Crusader. Orange Lantern, shield him."

"Sir."

A red blur and then Baroness Reiter appears, carrying Crusader in both arms while he in turn carries the Spear. They're-. Heh, appropriate, on the Daily Planet ruin/throne. Crusader kneels in prayer with the Spear clasped before him while-

I transition down and erect a construct shield.

-Baroness Reiter twitches the twitch of someone used to moving fast who has now stopped moving.

"I've got this. You can-."

"I need to stay in case Crusader needs to be repositioned."

I nod. "Holy water go down okay?"

She nods, standing so that she can keep Demon Superman-

Overman and Superman fly into his head again.

-and Crusader in view as the blue light begins to spread out across the city.

"How do you know this ritual?"

"Got possessed by an elemental, once. Met an exorcist called Father Mattias. After we had to interrupt a major summoning I made sure I knew the procedure."

"Is that common on your Earth?"

"Common? No, but it happens. How are you handling the added speed?"

Because when you've got Flash mind controlled and know the procedure for bestowing speed, what sort of ninny doesn't use it?

"It works. I would be dead without it." She pauses for a moment. "Would it help if I prayed as well?"

"The words don't matter. Faith matters. If you don't have it, don't bother."

"Do you?"

"No. No faith in any benevolent higher power. I make pacts with gods I can trust as I would anyone else."

Probably best that I don't mention my interactions with the Host within hearing range of Crusader.

"You?"

"Today I found out that demons are real and faith in God can ward them off."

"Alright, but I'll warn you that faith in the Source cannot be authentically combined with National Socialism. The Source does not care when you hold the Sabbath or what colour your skin is. That 'camel through the eye of a needle' stuff was right on the money."

"You believe something like that and you say that you don't have religious faith?"

"I can describe a belief set without holding to it myself. Though if you were wondering, the Hellenic gods don't care about those things either. Though they're more forgiving on the subject of covetousness."

The blue light spreads slowly at first, moving sluggishly over the ground tainted by demon magic. Then it finds the path that she and Crusader ran earlier and flashes along it, guided by the sanctified water splashed from his thurible. It's not literally being conducted by the water, but partially by the ideas mankind has about sacred spaces and partially by the faith Crusader José Luis Lopez has in the divine plan and his role in it.

The Lasso of Truth is binding Demon Superman's arms, now, and it looks like he's either too insensible to move or has given up on trying to break out.

"We will free you, Clark!"

Demon Superman raises his head at the mention of his host's name, only for Angelika to strike him in the back of the head with both feet. Atom Man also takes the opportunity to shoot him in the face, though between the low power of the shot and Demon Superman's partially regenerated demonic aura it does little but make him instinctively jerk away.

Hm.

The blue light is spreading faster, and I see it as it reaches the first unconscious Marked cultists. It… Laps around them, wafting up and over their bodies for a moment before glowing and expanding with greater vigour. Their bodies seem… Perhaps more relaxed? Afterwards.

It's working.

But just in case. Railgun. Because there are three other kryptonians in close proximity, and-.

Overman and Superman dive in for another attack as I see Demon Superman's throat bulge.

"Caution."

Demon Superman convulses, his head thrown back as a red.. ball-shaped thing erupts from his throat and flies at Overman, talons outstretched and mouth open to bite! He fires heat vision at it, but it ignores the searing red beams as it reaches for him-.

And then my angel feather rounds hit it in the chest and head.

"Gahhhhhh!"

Golden fire envelops… Whatever the heck it is that caused all of this. No mortal flesh to hide in any longer.

"Nooo! I can still-."

Diana punches it in the bulbous chest, and it… Bursts, the few parts of its foul body not consumed by golden fire vaporising as the blue light of Crusader's spell flows over Superman's recumbent body.

And I hear… Something that makes my soul shudder at the unclean feeling it evokes. I can't… Put it in words. As if some foul presence that felt itself master of the world found that its hold was not as sure as it thought. And felt unimaginable malice for those involved in thwarting it.

And then it's quiet once more. Crusader sags, Spear falling from his grip as his spell rushes for the horizon in all directions. Superman's body shrinks, and Diana darts down to check on him.

Converting the Nazi's might make them better people. At least less prejudice.
 
For anyone curious, here's what that beach ball with arms Kryptonian Imp looks like-
