"sight lines", though you can keep the hyphen if you prefer it

I strongly recommend using them to Imgur and linking to them from there. There would be substantially less link rot.

Let's hope he's not too damaged by the experience he just had. He seems like a nice guy, so it'd be a shame to lose his assistance. After all, seeing one of the worst places in the universe is going to change a man.17th November 2017

"Fifty-eight, fifty-nine…"
And time. I tug on the rope, and when it doesn't immediately slacken I pull on it hard. Senator Sandoval comes flying out and I catch him as gently as I can while signalling Mother Box to close the boom tube.
"Closing it now. Do check on him, he seems a little shaken." To be fair, he did have something of a religious experience. Not a fun one, though.
...Anyone got some strong booze? Might need a little nip of something to shake him out of the cognitive loop...I set him down and he sort of collapses, shivering and staring into space.
"Oh God."
Good plan. Give him something to focus on other than the overwhelming evil.I kneel down next to him.
"Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven."
Closest thing to the actual place you'll get while alive, really.He appears to come out of it a little. He focuses on me, eyes still staring.
"What the Hell was that/?"
Grayven's research is thorough. Not like the Renegade will mention the real reason."To put it simply, that was my Father's psychic aura." I offer a hand to help him up and he takes it, the shakes dying down a little. "Just being on the same planet as him makes everyone feel like that. You see why I want to keep him away from Earth?"
"Yeah. Yeah I do. God help me." He blinks, then focuses on me. "You..? You know the Lord's Prayer?"
All the better to work with people without triggering some denominational backlash.I shrug. "My people are monotheistic… Sort of. And I've read up on popular Earth religions. So what did you think?"
"Yeah, that kinda evil-. We need to fight that."
I'll say this, it's probably not Task Force X. Their snipers would never be so pathetic as to use a laser scope."Excellent! I'll leave you to reorganise-" A red dot appears on my chest. "-Texas, but you should probably get off the roof now, because I think someone's about to try something 'clever'."
"It's not-. Ah, I didn't-."
Hope that elevator is still there, and running in express mode downwards."I know. Move."
He turns to his backing singers, still clearly shaken but rapidly recovering. "Alright everyone, move it!"
To be fair, they expected some kind of armed response. It's just a matter of factoring in travel times.Subjekt-17 takes a few steps forwards, bending his neck to look at the red dot on my chest. "Finally."
"Yeah, sorry, I appreciate that it wasn't as interesting as it might have been."
And no doubt a well-thought-out plan, knowing the Renegade.Accomplished Perfect Physician shakes his head. "I found it quite educational. I had little time to study economics."
Adam nods. "Always good to know that the guy in charge has a plan."
Well, that's an insulting letter, addressed 'to whom it may concern...'I smile at them. "Aw, you guys…"
A canister of something hits me in the chest, green smoke rising off it for about half a second before I neutralise the… Nerve agent, and transmute the canister into a bobble head.
Best option for it, as he can sense their mind..."Subjekt Seventeen, please remonstrate with whoever fired that."
He leaps off the roof, heading towards the edge of town.
Sounds a bit insulting, yes, but it's accurate. Physician at least has his mystic abilities. 'Lyta is just strong and tough.Adam frowns. "What was that?"
"Nerve gas. Hippolyta… Not that I don't value your presence, but you're the squishiest person here and there isn't really anything else for you to learn. Perhaps it would be best if you evacuated as well?"
So, Invisible jet? Flying Armour? Lassoing her way from cloud to cloud?She looks… Up, towards the town centre. "I should brief my daughter first."
I follow her… Yes, that's Diana. Nice to know that she got her head out of her arse. She isn't coming in at full speed, but she is heading this way. "Do that-"
Polite of him to provide transport.
...Unexpected. Probably someone assuming she's backup for the big guys.She nods, and heads through the tube. Okay, scan, because-.
Two rays of green light hit Diana in the chest and knock her out of the sky!
...Honestly, what did you expect? It was something like them or a Suicide Squad team.
Well, good to see they're not strong enough to breach his armour. That would be bad.I sidestep, daiklave appearing in my hand to parry the short sword that appears to come out of nowhere! A second sword strikes a surprised Captain Adam in the chest, mildly discolouring the metal over his heart before the user flies back into the air.
"What the-?"
Possibly badly injured or dead, unless they have some decent physical augmentation.Not faster than light, are you Hotshot? I raise my right arm, fusion cannon construct forming-.
The air ripples as Physician opens his mouth, a green and barely visible blur slowing and then falling from the sky, swords dangling from cables attached to his harness. He hits the edge of the roof hard, then falls towards the ground.
An annoyance. I presume the Justice league are still assembling."Separate, and call out attackers as you see them."
Adam frowns. "Who was that?"
So there's a good chance they may have a knock-off Doomsday or something The comics team did have a big guy."Captain Jonathan Banks, United States Navy. The loyalty of the American military hangs by a thread. For the first time in living memory the government isn't sure that its orders will be obeyed. So they're sending fanatics. The people they experimented on after seizing Lex Luthor's research on kryptonian technology." I rise off the rooftop using my aero-discs. "And I've got to stop Brannon killing Wonder Woman. I don't think-."
I'm guessing gaining Physician pissed someone off in the Chinese camp.Something hits me and a fraction of a second later I'm looking up at the sky through a small hole in the earth and asphalt. None of Brannon's team are fast enough and strong enough to do that. Looks like Thundermind got approval for cooperation.
Push.
Yes, making mental contact with a swirling mass of quantum energy that thinks it's a man.The earth around me explodes as I shove it away, tracking the locations of all likely attackers. One of the Thunderminds has recovered the recumbent Hotshot, while the other-. Hah! Just tried that lotus mind trick thing on Adam and got most of the flesh burned off his face for his troubles.
Follow Hippolyta.
"That may be for the best, if they're targetting all of us." I suspect those sent in have one order: Kill anything that isn't one of theirs.
Noxious and highly annoying. Marvellous.I get my construct armour up as some sort of electrified kryptonite plasma slams into me.
-ly?
Well, there probably were a few kryptonian weapons laying around Smallville or Metropolis."You know I'm not kryptonian, right?"
Sergeant Adams -no relation- keeps her arm blasters pointed at me, maintaining the flow of plasma. Got to be a salvaged kryptonian power source powering that, because turning kryptonite into plasma is a very energy-intense process. It's also easy to counter if you have a power ring. I just create a plasma shield of my own and the kryptonite just flows around it.
Right, covering the squishies. Wonder if the goons have any rules of engagement concerning them. Considering them enemy collaborators, perhaps?And then I notice that the civil servants and politicians aren't out of the combat area yet and while this plasma might not do much to me it would scythe though a normal building without too much difficulty.
Right then. I stride forward, point my fusion cannon directly at her and fire, the plasma beam overpowering her discharge and striking her hard in the chest! Her armour takes the hit, her weapons shutting down as she's thrown into the shop front opposite us.
And that'll be their big guy showing up...Fine, time to clean house. She's no real loss-.
Subjekt-17 slams into my side!
I'm guessing gaining Physician pissed someone off in the Chinese camp.
And the face-punching has begun! ...Though not with the expected parties in the opposing side. I can only assume that Brucie-boy is still travelling about collecting the other candidates while Diana scouts the situation. And I'm surprised some variation of Task Force X isn't here as well. Unless they're lurking, waiting for a good moment to jump in. Probably just as the invaders are exhausted from taking down the Last Line crew
I just noticed this error. I think that should be 'signers'.He turns to his backing singers, still clearly shaken but rapidly recovering. "Alright everyone, move it!"
[Bows head]
In theory, Mongal should be capable of fighting Grayven physically. But for some reason in this universe she's not much stronger than a normal human and died like a chump.And I'm surprised some variation of Task Force X isn't here as well.

No. Backing singers. You know, the people who stand behind the lead singer and join in on the choruses.
Thank me, corrected.Me said:
- Wait, how do you know her number if I didn't memorize it?The hero just pulls out a cell phone. "I'm calling your mother! So let's everyone calm down before Thanksgiving gets REAL awkward!"

And he was never mentioned again. With everything that happened afterwards, up until the end of DC, there was a man with the powers of Doomsday sitting around and taking no part in it.Yeah, American Boy is the most memorable of that group.
For those who didn't read that storyline, the government got a nice patriotic young soldier to volunteer for an experiment to make him immune to biological and chemical weapons, if memory serves.
What they didn't tell the poor schmuck was that they were going to do that by injecting him with Kryptonite and Doomsday DNA.
They then unleashed him to demolish Smallville, but the heroes pulled out the ultimate trump card- They fetched his parents.
That was in their 'for small children' line.
I saw him do that once against a weak lineup where he'd prepred the ground and made a surpirse attack. Another time he ended up in a similar situation and blew millions on using a super-flashbang so he could run away.Deathstroke taking out the entire Justice League by himself even though they're all more powerful than him
That... Was the original plan. Now? Don't know.Mr Zoat, I was reading a fanfic, and it reminded me of Jason Todd. Considering all the things that have happened in the story, will Batman still adopt him? And if so, will you still have it so that he'll eventually see Paul as one of his best friends?

No, it's a Wonder Woman 1984 reference. After the first film had a good launch and a good flight but a crash landing, the sequal was one big plane crash.I think it's a One Piece reference. There was a villain in the story who could control Strings and used them to fly across the ocean by literally lassoing himself from cloud to cloud.
It's One Piece, it's not meant to make sense.

It's not that it sounds tame, it's that it looks lame.Compared to all of these things, especially the last one, being able to lasso a cloud with a magic lasso made by the gods sounds tame.
Someone did the hit a mofo with another mofo, didn't they?
Yeah, there are reasons why I read only short run or contained stories these days. Marvel and DC are so interconnected that you have to get multiple series to understand what is going on. Then Crossgen comics failed and even got eaten by Disney.... and they seemingly used the IP JUST to bury the stories..... *sigh* Only get stuff like The Sword, Midnight Nation, Girl Genius, or Gargoyles (Weisman) now. Stuff that isn't part of the big comic universes.
If the rest of the movie had been better, it would have been forgivable... but that's true of a lot of films.
