I'm Energy In DC

I have a significant question here now.

So it goes like this. What would you do if you had the capability to stand on top of the world for real, the potential to become an apex creature in the multiverse, and yet surprisingly had no particular interests and desires you wanted to enact?

You had the strength, the power, you could be a tyrant, be a ruler, a conqueror, a ROB! You could be a guardian, protecting multiple dimensions as your territory, or an enslaver who makes subjugating world's a side hustle.

You could be anything you wanted just based on your desires yet had no desires to speak of whatsoever.

No aims, no goals, no ambitions..... Nothing. Not even wants….

No need for admiration, no desire for fear, no thirst for vengeance, no longing for love, no particular drive.

I mean, was it humanly possible. To have so much power and yet have no purpose?

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

But then again, I wasn't human to begin with, so what did it matter?

As a being whose body wasn't even created through the natural cycle of reproduction, it would be strange if the concept of human desires applied to me.

I wasn't one of those first to third rate main characters who suddenly found themselves reborn with power beyond their wildest dreams and reincarnated into one of their childhood fantasies in the guise of a new chance at life.

Point being, I didn't have the urge to suddenly right the wrongs i had seen in my favorite TV series, verify suspicions i had concerning stories, decide to eliminate a villain just because I found them disgusting, or gather all the prettiest females I could think of from my past life and fulfill every man's wish of becoming a harem king.

I technically wasn't even human, and even if I was, I would be less than three months old.

I didn't have a past life, I didn't have any unfulfilled wishes due to hyperactive imagination.

Currently, apart from more energy which was the only thing that was never unwelcomed, and my initial desire for a definite form which was already completed, I quite literally wanted nothing.

All that power with no desires, allow me to understand why those powerful entities would suddenly find a random soul, bless them with one thing or the other, and throw them into a world to cause chaos.

Boredom, curiosity, literal lack of anything better to do.

They were either powerful enough to have everything they wanted and saw no interest in going about enslaving universes, or they just lacked the necessary human emotion and saw such endeavors as pointless tasks.

Why would God's feel the need to subjugate ant's? Only beings like Darkseid and Trigon who still needed dimensions to increase their power ever so slightly would engage in such tasks.

Do you ever hear about the One Above All and The Presence going about enslaving dimensions?

Why those beings created their respective multiverses was known to them and them only, but if he were to attribute it to anything, it would most certainly be boredom.

I was currently in a similar state. Like stated earlier, I truly didn't have anything better to do at the moment, which was why I decided to meet with Batman, even after knowing everything that was about to happen.

It wouldn't make a difference anyway.

And so I left. Teleported straight from The Axiom all the way to Gotham city, a few miles away.

Gotham's nightlife had never been quiet. No matter what, you could always count on the sounds of gunshots, explosions, or some random shit happening within the middle of the night to let you know that something was definitely happening somewhere.

Something you didn't want to know about.

This city was just that chaotic. It was eating itself, and the surveillance blimps weren't helping the case in any way. But that wasn't my problem.

Transversing through space, I appeared on the roof of a building that was rather decrepit in the lower slums of Gotham.

It was an abandoned factory with no life signs within hundreds of meters. Fairly isolated.

For a trap, it's a bit conspicuous. Just right to make sure that civilians don't get hurt in case there is an incident.

Practically deserted and could make someone suspicious.

But this could just be thrown on Bruce's weird meet up placing.

“He's here. Ready your positions”. I heard the distorted voice below me say in a hushed tone. Probably to the com link to other leaguers.

Like expected, an ambush. They were trying to mask their presence as much as possible, so I wouldn't notice.

How, might you ask? Magic.

Zatara was here, cloaked with an invisibility spell, alongside Martian Manhunter.

They weren't the only ones, though. Apart from Batman, who was standing out in the open within the warehouse, I quickly picked up the extremely fast fluctuations in a circular distance.

The Flash, Barry Allen, was obviously setting up the Space Jammer. A set of spherical devices created by Cyborg using mother box technology, working on similar principles as the Boom tubes. Only instead of creating portals, this one did the opposite, making sure no portal could be opened within its range by messing up the space nodes in the surroundings.

Cyborgs original plan for this baby was to create a planetary shield. Capable of detecting and preventing any and all unauthorized teleportation into Earth's premises, effectively defending against Darkseid.

It wouldn't just stop with Darkseid. This tech could also help Zatara and the rest of the Magic society to defend the earth from demonic invasions from other dimensions.

Giovanni had mentioned this problem to Cyborg due to the mysterious dimensional disturbance which was clearly felt by all magic users on the planet.

The Justice league had approved of it, even more so.

After all, such unrestricted entry was something the league didn't want to see.

Too bad, though, Cyborg hadn't been able to make it work on a larger scale. Mainly because the mass of the earth was too large and the power source to keep such a contraption working twenty-four seven was something the League couldn't afford.

Unless they decided to hook Captain Atom into it and drain him for all the energy he was worth.

Of course, that was on large scale. For a distance of less than a thousand meters, the Jammer would work just fine. Still, if Batman relied solely on that, then he wouldn't be Batman.

Zatara presently was gathering his mana and chanting a space confinement spell to create a double reinforcement.

I have to admit, though, the Magic power of this human was astounding. Casting such a spell, required a lot of Magic power, and such a large amount of Magic power, even within a concealment spell was as conspicuous as a blazing sun in front of my eyes.

You could consider this as one of the abilities gained from my ability to absorb energy.

I call it Energy Vision.

Due to lack of information, even if I couldn't see the future, this alone would already expose their actions.

Giovanni's magic power was quite noticeable. You could imagine what Shazam's would be like.

Yep, Billy Batson was here as well. Hiding high up in the clouds, waiting for the signals to strike. As well as Green Lantern Hal Jordan and Red Tornado.

Batman, Shazam, Martian Manhunter, Zatara, Red Tornado, Green Lantern......... Minus flash, who wasn't participating in the containment operation, that makes six Leaguers.

Well, the Justice league truly thinks highly of me. Sending six Leaguers for a containment operation.

Don't underestimate the number, you must know that right now, the League isn't as numerous as it would be in the future.

At present, the number of official Justice League members totaled nineteen. Not even breaking the twentieth mark.

However, one important person was missing from this line up. Knowing his situation, I didn't find it surprising.

My body shuttled through space and appeared within the warehouse, a couple of meters away from Batman.

“Nice night for an ambush, don't you think so, Bruce?” My tone was carefree without the slightest worry.

The Caped Crusader stood there, his face indifferent, without any fluctuations.

“You noticed”. It wasn't a question but a statement. There wasn't any shock or surprise at it, either.

“Yep”. I shrugged while making a gesture. “Zatara might be able to hide his energy signature from Superman, but for me, it won't make a difference. Plus, the whole thing was suspicious to begin with, just starting from the message”.

“And you walked in here anyway, knowing it was a trap. Is it conceit or confidence?”

“Who knows. I've got nothing better to do for the time being. We'll find out what it is after this is all over, either way. Besides, you weren't betting that I would stay away after I got the message, were you?”

I asked with an indifferent tone.

Bruce remained silent. This in its own way was a form of acquiescence.

Bruce never expected me not to know that this was a set-up. He would consider it weird if I didn't notice anything and walked in here blindly.

The main point, he was expecting me to walk in here, full of confidence and recklessness, exactly like I just did.

He knew a little about me from his brief examination of my character. In the face of such provocation, me not answering was equivalent to being afraid in his eyes.

Not that I cared what he thought, but once again, I had nothing better to do, so why not just go with the flow.

“So tell me Bruce.....”. I asked nonchalantly with a bit of sarcasm.

“What exactly did I do this time that threatens the earth so much that your team dispatched six Leaguers to deal with me? I don't know if my memory is wrong, but I haven't done anything that's worthy enough to be targeted”.

Bruce's face turned a bit ugly for a split second. It disappeared quickly but still.......

“......... The Meteor. We need to know what's in it”. Bruce said solemnly after a while of silence.

“Nothing. It's just a regular old meteor”. I plainly replied.

“Forgive me if I don't believe you”.

“I don't care if you don't. I'm not your Patreon Greek God, your belief has little value to me”. I replied.

Batman frowned.

“I see you want to be...... difficult. We both know that wasn't an ordinary meteor but a spaceship. Due to the agreement with the World Council, we haven't bothered you in your time here. But any actions you take that might threaten the world cannot be taken lightly”.

“And I haven't done anything capable of threatening the world. Besides, I already made a deal with your world council concerning this meteor. This Meteor is practically my private property at this point. You aren't backed by the law to take out any actions on me concerning this issue. So, like the law stipulates, please come back when you have sufficient evidence and a government approved search warrant. Until then, Tata”.

Bruce's face fell.

I didn't know what he was thinking, but I could make some really accurate guesses.

“This meteor is more valuable than I thought”.

“Whatever it is, it has to be important”.

“We can't just let this be”.

I saw Batman regain his composure. His eyes narrowed as he said in a slight threatening tone.

“We don't want to conflict with you on this. It's not worth it. You just need to tell us what's inside and hand it over, and all this can be called square. Do we have an agreement?”

“My Dear Overgrown Bat, we most certainly do not”. My reply was something even I didn't expect to say.

“Then I'm afraid we can't let you leave”. Bruce said, and pressed a button on his suit.

SCHUUM!!!

The Space Jammers place that surrounded the area came alive at that moment.

“Everyone, Now!”

Shazam suddenly crashed through the roof behind me at that moment. His face carried seriousness and some excitement shone in his eyes.

“We do not wish to have conflicts with you, Mr. Amari. Please understand that our actions are not targeting you, but mainly concern for the well-being of humanity". Who else would it be if not J'onn J'onzz?

“No need talking to him. He's not going anyway”. Hal said with squinted eyes.

Red Tornado said nothing but floated in the air with a mini tornado covering his lower body.

“Since you won't cooperate, then we have no choice but to keep you here until we discover what we want”. Batman continued.

“As long as there's truly nothing wrong, then all this is settled. I'm willing to personally apologize for any actions taken here today”. Bruce's next words made everyone look at him with a bit of surprise in their eyes.

Truly, the majority of them felt like what they were doing was a bit wrong, but they just had to. Batman's willingness to lower his head and apologize, while surprisingly, was not unthinkable.

Still, that wouldn't change much.

Currently, they just had to be ready for a big fight. Whatever Batman said was meaningless, as to them, I certainly wouldn't just take things lying down.

They were right about that. But........

“So your plan is for one team to keep me here while the other invaded my base?” No one replied. Their muscles were tense, just waiting to spring into action.

But my next words left them completely disorganized.

“Ok”. I said nonchalantly.

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Four consecutive exclamations arose.

I ignored their exclamations of disbelief and feel backwards. The same chair that appeared back at the base was here again, cushioning my fall as i sank into its soft embrace.

My eyes slowly closed as I left the six Leaguers in battle postures, completely bewildered.

“What's happening?” Shazam asked in astonishment.

“This..... Isn't following the script”. Hal scratched his head in equal astonishment.

Only Bruce narrowed his eyes.

“You don't intend to resist?”

“Nope”. I replied as a book suddenly appeared in my hand. I opened up the first page, crossed one leg over the other and began to read.

“Aren't you afraid that the League will discover what's within your base?”

“Hehe!” I chuckle escaped my lips.

“First, let your second team succeed in getting past the first round of defense, the Energy Shield. Then we'll talk”.
