The battle had ended badly, all around police officers and paramedics tried to take control of the scene. Carnage and heroes lay like thrown waste, scattered around the torn buildings and police car wreckage that had been reduced to rubble during the fight.
Mari struggled to her feet, the heat of the rings power had cauterized the entry and exit of the wound, but the internal damage despite her ability to heal was taking its time and hurting like hell.
“I can give you something for the pain” the male paramedics starts ruffling around in his bag, drawing up a vial of analgesic medicine so as inject her wound site with pain numbing medicine.
“No need, I heal fast. Go attend to my team mates”
“They’re all ready being seen to”
“Are they stable?”
“The green lantern looks more fatigued than anything else, but the flash. Well he’s stable buts that about it. The guy did a real number on him”
“Damn it”
Mari cant help but feel frustrated, a single villain, powered up with nothing more than a ring of energy managed to take down three league members and escape, after having caused major damage to the local area. But what angers her more than that is just where is Mark Tracey now.

Atlantic Ocean:

Crossing the vast blue sea towards the promise of free land and safety, Mark Tracey now enveloped in a ball of pure yellow light zooms at high speed towards South America.
His thoughts turn inwards to the voice that now fills his head; it speaks to him with a voice of malice but at the same time gentle.
“Why, why did we leave the fight, we had them on there knees. They could have died at my hands”
“My power charge was at less then ten percent, probability seemed to indicate that remaining would have depleted my charge, forcing us to lose both the battle and your freedom”
“So you mean you’re almost out of power, we flying over the Atlantic, I can’t ####ing swim you bastard”
“There is no need for concern, my charge will safely see us to American soil, there I will send out a beacon for a Manhunter, once it has arrived I will be able to fully recharge”
“What is a Manhunter, come to think of it what is all this about?”
“Come, we have much to discuss on our journey”
With that mark sits down on a layer of energy, whilst the ring continues to talk to him about wondrous evil things, it tells him of Sinestro and his armies fight for control over the entire universe. It also tells him of their failure, due to the Green Lantern Core and the intervention of the Guardians. But worst of all it speaks of revenge and promises Mark the universe for but the simple price of his service.

Gotham City: Unknown Location:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
They have become one of the greatest threats to Gotham and its people over the last several months. A collection of the worlds greatest and most evil villains, brought together by a single common goal, to control Gotham and destroy its bat population of heroes.
They had hoped to recruit one more to their ranks, a powerful energy bender however their attempt at recruitment had been foiled by the appearance of the justice league. This failure in part however was to be blamed on one of their own, a member they had sent to aid the yellow ring bearer. A member that now tries to cling to the shadows and enter what has become his home as quietly as a naughty schoolboy.
“We know you’re there Shadow Thief” Their voices speak in unison; The Ape Grodd and the Caterpillar Mr Mind continue to startle their pawn. “Perhaps you should think twice before attempting to sneak up on two of the worlds powerful telepaths”
With but a thought they force Shadow Thief to step out of the shadows, becoming corporeal enough so that he resembles that of a human being.
“Why did you fail me” the small worm sits upon the shoulder of the Ape Grodd, his eyes like to lights seem to shine upon Shadow Thief’s soul.
“I didn’t fail you master, the man you asked me to recruit is uncontrollable, his power truly uncontained. He took out most of the league members that showed up without so much as breaking a sweat”
This time it is the large ape that interrupts “And yet you still managed to come back empty handed”
“He was talking to somebody, somebody that wasn’t even there. Then before I got the chance he had flown away”
“You’re lucky we need your gifts boy or else your mind would be turned to puree, as it is we need you to prep a jet, we’re going to America”

“I want answers, we just had a member of the Sinestro Corps turn up on our door step and start trashing a bank in England, are you seriously telling me this shouldn’t be a priority?”
John Stewart has never been one to simply hold back his voice when angered, not even when confronting the very people that are responsible for the power he now wields in his hand. The guardians of the universe, are in essence the head of an intergalactic police force known as the Corps, each Corp member is chosen for their individuality and entrusted to use their ring to protect a different sector of space. They do not take kindly to simply being talked down to, not even by one of their own.
“John Stewart, the matter on earth is not our concern, a Yellow power ring has simply chosen its next host like all rings are programmed to do, I would theorise that it has chosen this Mark Tracey because he has the ability to instil great fear, we entrusted you with your ring for a reason. I would suggest you go and put a stop to this rogue Corp member as soon as possible”
“That’s it, that’s is all you are willing to say or do, this rogue just took down half of my team”
“Chose a stronger team John, right now we are trying to strategise a plan for an even greater threat. One that will test your loyalties in particular John and the time for that test is sooner than you realise. Guardians out.”
The green image projecting out from Johns ring suddenly dissipates to particles that soon fade to nothing.
“I don’t believe them, we have a rogue on our hands and they don’t even care”
“They talked about a greater threat, I’m sure they didn’t mean to understate your concerns. You know what they are like John” Wonder Woman’s hand finds its way to John shoulder, that is all it takes. John immediately releases his tension and his hard stone like face becomes something much more human.
“You’re right Diana, I just wish I knew what was so damn important that they couldn’t even dispatch a second member of the Corps”
“Right now we have a pressing engagement of our own,” the Martian’s voice echoes throughout the tower, his telepathy stretching to every members mind. “I have detected a beacon, it appears to be of the same energy signature of the Sinestro Corps member we engaged in England. It’s coming from South America”
“Good I’ve been waiting for a chance to get back in and fight this guy”
“Wait, there is more. The beacon appears to be altering sub space and a tear is forming. Something is coming through”
“What is it?” Superman’s voice as he flies in to the Watchtowers command room is bold and powerful.
“Unknown, but scans suggest several incursions”
The Green Lantern is next to reach the command centre “I know, I’ve seen this before. He’s called in Backup”
“Back up” Wonder woman lands gently next to J’onn, “But I thought you had dealt with the Sinestro Corps”
“Not half as much as we would have liked, the truth is there could be hundreds of them still out there. All just waiting for the chance to strike back at us”
“Then we had best get down there and take him out, fast”
