Justice League of Amazons: Halo

Summary: before Freedom Guard's unfortunate passing he shared with me his own version of Justice League of Amazons and I decided that the scenes were too good to leave rotting so here are the scenes that Freedom Guard and I wrote down for this version.

…

Now we begin

…

The situation in the Watch Tower was pretty hectic ever since the recruiting of female heroes to replace the ones lost to Aresia's plague and they were undeniably busy in dealing with the mess. Diana sighed and admitted that despite the new faces, she found herself...missing the male members of the team. Superman was always a vice of compassion and had a way to make people do their best at all times, Batman was the foil, to provide realism and balance to Superman, Flash was the glue and humour and in many ways the most down to earth among them. John Stewart was the man of action, strategy and firepower and despite their own less than stellar impression to one another, she respected his tenacity and will to fight...and J'onn, while alien was a kindred soul due to him being out of place yet still dedicated to doing what was right.

(All good friends...taken away from this world...by one of my people.)

She still felt immense guilt and self-loathing for the fact that one of her people had done this, even though Aresia was not born on the island herself, Aresia was like a sister to her, even though she had a true sister in Donna. Still she could not forgive Aresia for what had happened and she had no doubt that she was going to be punished heavily by the Gods for her transgressions, and there was no doubt that many in this world would hate her people for what Aresia had done...and she had to work harder than most to redeem her people's name.

She turned to face Hawkgirl who spoke to her.

"Still deep in thought?"

"Yes...I still wished none of this happened but we cannot undo this now. All I can hope for is that we can still do this and for me...I have to work harder to redeem my people."

The Thanagarian nodded and soon looked at the new League, Batgirl was there in place of Batman, Supergirl was there to take over her cousin's place though many, including her and Diana that Kara was not yet prepared for this, Dinah lance was there with them along with Mari or rather Vixen, along with Zatanna and also Stargirl, as well as Fire and Ice. She sighed at this and wished that so many did not have to die like that, even in her time fighting the Gordanians, this was disgusting.

"Yeah, well we have a lot to do so let's..."

The warning klaxons came online and that stopped any activity that was going on and soon the league moved to the monitor with Batgirl already on it as she looked at the monitor and typing on the keys. Diana arrived and spoke to Barbara.

'What is it? Are we under attack?"

"No... something is coming, something massive...there!"

The images changed and soon from the blackness of space came a ship...or at least half of a ship, it was huge and seemed to have seen serious battle damage, the League were shocked by this and as they got a closer look at the ship, they saw writing on the side...English writing!

"UNSCDF Forward Unto Dawn...what the heck?!"

Supergirl commented at that as Barbara ran a search for the name of the ship but came up with only one term that made sense.

"UNSC stands for...United Nations Security Council...but that makes no sense! The UN never had the resources to build a ship like that let alone have a space program!"

Shayera commented next.

"That's no exploration ship for sure...see those ports there...those are point defence guns...that's a warship."

That made the League tense until another alarm came on, Barbara ran through it and spoke.

"There's a message...hold on..."

"T...his...s...Co...Cort...Cortana...UNSC Smart A.I...ser...ial nu...0-9! To...ll...possible...UNSC personnel...on this fre...ncy...N..Need...immediate...scue...Sierra-117 onboard! Pow...lue immenint on cryo pod!"

The others looked at one another and Diana spoke calmy as she could.

"Suit up...let's go!"

...

As soon as they entered the ship, with most of them wearing space suits they explored the vessel after docking with a Javelin on it. Hawkgirl's words about the vessel being a warship were accurate as it had dog tags flying about along with what appeared to be weapons, but unlike any weapons they had seen before, along with the written areas such as Armoury and whatnot. The League divided into teams and moved about, some heading for engineering, others headed for what could be a cryo-bay. Barbara was nearby with Diana, Hawkgirl, and Dinah and picked up what appeared to be some sort of tablet. As soon as she ran her hand on the surface the thing came alive and showed some data.

"Hey...look at this!"

They looked and saw that the tablet had an owner...one technician named James O'Neill and there were some entries.

'Well, the eleventh hour is on us...we have the Covenant blasting at our door here on Earth...the Orbital MACs are tearing them a new one but there's more coming in. Biggest damned fire fight I have ever seen, but we are not going to let them win! Damn those Covie bastards to hell for doing this! Three decades of war, 300 worlds burned to ash...nearly twenty billion people dead and worse. No way are we letting those freaks set their slimy claws on Earth!'

The women looked at each other in surprise and saw the date...2552.

'What the?! This ship...is from the future?! And who are the Covenant?"

The soon moved to the latest entry.

'Never thought I'd see the day we'd be working with the Split lips...yah they are the Sangheili, but hell, for nearly three decades they were killing us left and right, now we're working to stop that one mad Prophet from killing us all with that Halo Ring and his army of Brutes! Damned apes...cannibals the lot of them. Still, can't be helped even though there's a ton of distrust between us and them, we don't stop that maniac religious nutjob, then the whole galaxy is dead. Still this is a suicide mission if there ever was one.'

'But for now I... got to see the Spartan in the flesh or rather armour...Man is he big! And not just any Spartan either...but THE Spartan...the Master Chief. They sent a freaking CAS Cruiser to kill him and he still whooped their ass! Hell last I heard they sent a freaking ARMY with armour, air support, artillery and whatnot to kill him and he also killed them all. Hope he can turn this around, we're gonna need all the hands we can get here!"

As soon as the four were done reading the data, they looked at one another and Diana spoke.

"A Spartan? A Spartan from the future?"

She knew of the Spartans of course, a name for one of the most dangerous warriors of ancient Greece and who were among the few male groups her people respected due to their stance on women as their women were not only strong of body and mind but had rights and equal power in their society. The others looked about and soon Shayera spoke to the others.

"Okay...so where is this Spartan?"

They got their answer soon enough...

"Right here."

All four of them froze when they realized that the voice had come from BEHIND them...somehow, much to the shock of batgirl, someone had snuck up right behind them without her noticing. It was then that Diana felt the barrel of a gun right behind her head as the undeniably male voice spoke once more.

"Turn around slowly. One wrong move and I shoot."

The four did so and soon before them was a massive 7'2 tall figure in military olive green armour with a golden visor and a black undersuit aiming a high tech assault rifle at them and carrying some other things none of them recognize. The man did not lower his weapon and seemed to radiate power and skill as he spoke once more.

"You are standing on UNSC property, identify yourselves!"

Shayera knew a military man when she saw one and sadly she decided to react and move to use her mace. But like a viper on speed the man saw it and now aimed the weapon at her before her mace even moved upward.

This was the moment Diana needed as she quickly pushed forward and send the man but he recovered and quickly fired a burst!

Diana covered the others with her bracers and the man continued to fire at them and Shayera attacked with her flying towards the man with her mace. But her attack hit a shield of golden light that held it off as the man quickly side stepped her attack and landed a rifle butt strike to her back to send her to the floor, he quickly moved away though as Barbara used her batarangs and soon moved away from the others. Diana checked on Hawkgirl who recovered a bit while shaking her head.

"Guy packs a hit! So he's the Spartan huh?"

"Are you all right?"

"Yeah, but he's got speed all right, I barely got my mace up before he aimed at me! Come on!"

The four of them pursued the Spartan but he was indeed fast, not Flash fast, but way faster than any human of his size and wearing that kind of armour and soon they caught him in a large hanger bay but had to break cover as the Spartan turned around and fired at them with several rounds, Hawkgirl evaded the attacks while Diana blocked them, while Dinah and Barbara got to cover. Hawkgirl came swooping down and forced the man to duck allowing Diana to charge at him. He however used his assault rifle as a shield to actually redirect her punch away from him before landing a solid kick to her side to send her back from him, but ditched his weapon when Barbara luckily tossed a batarang into the barrel. Dinah came in and engaged the man in close combat but found he was quite good in fighting in the martial arts as each punch and kick she threw at him was either blocked or redirected.

She was soon tossed aside in a Judo move before Barbara came at the man with an electrified bo staff, a recent design of her own, but to her surprise and that of the others, he reached for what appeared to be a barbell like handle that soon revealed a twin pronged glowing white blue blades of pure plasma! Hawkgirl attacked with her people's war cry and clashed with the man and soon was trading swings and thrusts with the man but he held his own even when Diana herself came with her own sword. This forced the man to take out what appeared to be a Combat Knife in his other hand and fight off both Diana and Shayera much to the shock of Dinah and Barbara...both Diana and Shayera were accomplished fighters but now they were facing someone who could actually hold his own against BOTH of them.

"Who the heck is he?!"

That same question reverberated in the minds of both Amazon and Thanagarian until he forced them back and readied himself until the other league members arrived. Despite this however the man refused to surrender and readied himself until a voice broke out.

"CHIEF, that's enough!"

Nearby a strange emitter came online and out came a woman...of pure blue light. She was very attractive when one took a long look at her and fully naked as well with lines of codes and numbers moving on her frame to hide her modesty. The Spartan apparently recognised her and spoke.

"Cortana?"

The figure ignored the League and leaped off the device and grew to full human size and walked over to the man and actually berated him.

"What were you doing?! THEY are the ones who answered the message I sent out!"

"One of them raised a weapon..."

"I KNOW THAT! BUT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD YOU CAVEMAN, DON'T ASSUME THEY ARE HOSTILE!"

The computer woman was irate but soon calmed down and seemed to speak more calmly.

"Chief...they are not the enemy so stop it all right."

The man calmed down and re-sheathed his Knife and deactivated the sword and soon picked up his weapon, removed Batgirl's batarang and placed it on his back with a slap of what would be magnetic plates. The one named Cortana soon placed her hand on his and seemed to be absorbed into the Spartan's armor and soon he faced them as Cortana spoke.

"Sorry about that, the Chief's a military man through and through, he had no idea who you were and reacted naturally as any soldier would in unknown circumstances."

The women in the League did not know how to respond to that yet until Diana decided to speak once more.

"I see...Cortana is it?"

"Yes, and before you ask why I'm speaking through the big guy, I've downloaded myself into his Armor, and... oh hell!"

The women were confused until Cortana spoke.

"Chief, for crying out loud, you're injured! And these are from that last Battle in the Ark!"

"I'm fine Cortana..."

"Don't 'I'm fine Cortana' me you cudgel wielding barbarian! You need to be in medical right now."

The man then remained silent, leaving the League unaware that he had turned off the loud speakers of the MJOLNIR to speak to Cortana in private and after a while, the man gave a slight nod and directed his attention to the League.

"I will consent to be under your watch for now. Cortana said I can trust you, I personally do not but I trust her judgement."

The League members all looked at one another

...

In the Watch Tower's medical bay...

The Spartan was currently being watched by the whole League as he removed his helmet...

(A/N: Using the face model of Ben Browder in his time in Farscape)

The man underneath was pale skinned, like an albino but had none of the usual markings of one, he was in the bloom of peak physical health along with having deep blue eyes and short brown hair. There was no physical flaw with the marked exception of a scar running from one of the other on the bridge of his nose, and he was handsome in a primal sort of way. Cortana soon appeared from the armour and spoke calmly.

"Well it's pretty bad all things considered...the medical scanners in your Armor tell me you've got a fractured right wrist, a dislocated collar bone, some internal bleeding, a high fever at around 41 right now, a cracked left shin bone, a hairline fracture to the skull, three broken ribs on BOTH sides so that makes for six broken ribs, and it appears you've got a metal fragment near the bottom of your rib cage from some debris from before..."

The man reached behind him and without showing any pain whatsoever on his face or eyes yanked out the ten-inch-long metal fragment with some blood on it...much to the shock of the League and the consternation of Cortana.

"Scratch that, you HAD a metal fragment...sheesh...you are such a hard head. Anyway, time to loosen the Armor so they can do a medical evaluation on you so they can tell I am not kidding."

She soon turned at the League and spoke in a slightly amused tone.

"And relax ladies, he won't bite, though I suggest you get him a robe first, see you in a few Chief."

The man merely shrugged as Cortana faded away and without any hesitation began to remove his armour, as soon as the pieces were off, he began to remove the inner body suit...apparently not caring for the fact he was pretty much stripping naked in front of the League. Then again, all UNSC personnel either went naked or wore special clothing, or just dealt with the freezer burn when in cryo-sleep so he hardly bothered with it.

Soon the League saw that he was a very tall man, at least 6'10 out of armour and built like the deepest fantasy of any woman, rock hard muscles and not a single inch of fat anywhere, broad shoulders, flat and firm stomach, barrelled chest, arms and legs that were well sculpted...and of course seeing as he was naked, his manhood, even when not at full mast was...impressive six and a half inches in length and an inch in thickness. There were scars on his body, bullet and blade wounds, burns and more, but they only made him more primal and dangerous in appearance, a handsome male predator in all senses. he soon sat down on the examination table and waited.

Finally, Barbara moved forward, trying her hardest not to blush like mad and soon ran a check on him, finding the injuries to be real...meaning he fought her, Dinah, Diana, and Shayera in an injured state!

The Spartan observed the League for a moment before saying "What are you looking at?" he asked (A/N: I pulled that line from some of his quotes on Halo Reach Firefight mode).

"Nothing!" Barbara squeaked nervously as she tried to look at the man's face and keep her eyes focussed on his face and not anywhere near his manhood.

The rest of the League couldn't help but stare at the man in awe and with a tiny hint of lust as Barbara grabbed a robe for the Spartan and handed it to him. The women almost gave a moan of disappointment as the Spartan quickly put the robe and fastened it around his waist.

The Spartan then sat on the medical table and spoke "You can start evaluating me now" he said simply. Barbara then began some medical evaluating that her mentor Bruce and Alfred Pennyworth had taught her. Barbara couldn't help but blush as she put her hands on the man's body as she evaluated the man's physical condition and she couldn't help but gape in shock as what Cortana said was completely true! The Spartan had fought Diana, Shayera, Dinah and herself while heavily injured!

"Your friend was right!" Barbara exclaimed "You have all these injuries! How are you even staying conscious?" she asked the man.

"I've had worse" the Spartan replied mysteriously as he lay down on the medical table.

"I can tell" Barbara muttered as she tried to remain objective as she continued her medical evaluation.

Soon Cortana reappeared and said "Oh believe me, Chief has had worse injuries than this but this comes a close second" she said "One of these days, you're gonna drive me into early rampancy, you gun-toting caveman!" she said to the Spartan who shrugged.

"That's your answer?!" Cortana asked "Men! Thinking that shrugging their shoulders answers every question thrown at them!" she muttered before looking at the League and spoke to them

"Well, now that we've cleared that up, might I ask who you all are?" she asked in a polite friendly voice.

"I am Princess Diana of Themyscira, home of the Amazons" Diana replied.

"Hold up! Did you say Themyscira and Amazons?" Cortana asked.

"Yes I did" Diana replied "Why? Is there something wrong?" she asked in concern.

Cortana didn't answer her, instead she looked at the Spartan and said to him "Chief... I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!" she said in a serious voice.

"What do you mean?" the Spartan asked curiously.

Cortana then looked at Diana and asked "What year is this?" she asked.

"It is May twenty-second 2015" Diana replied automatically "Why?" Cortana didn't reply but looked at the Spartan and said to him

"Chief, this may seem crazy, but I think we ended up in an alternate universe" she said in a serious voice.

"Are you sure, Cortana?" the Spartan asked as he sat up and looked at her.

"I think I am, Chief" Cortana replied before looking at the League and asked "Who are the rest of you?" she asked them. The League then introduced themselves in turn and when they were finished, Cortana then spoke to the Spartan "That confirms it! We're in an alternate reality!" she said to him.

The Spartan then shrugged his shoulders which made Cortana groan in frustration "Again with the shrugging?! Would it kill you to freak out even just a little?!" she yelled.

"There'd be no point to it" the Spartan replied which made Cortana mutter some choice words about men who were strong and silent all the time.

After that rather interesting situation, the Spartan once more donned his Armor and decided to get some supplies and equipment from the Dawn. namely new gear to repair his Armor and get it back up to speed. The Frigate was still where it was left and right now the League were debating on what to do with the floating ship as well as their guests. It was soon that they decided to take some of the blood samples from the Master Chief and send it to STAR Labs since they were worried that if the Spartan came to Earth, then the disease could kill him and they were not going to let that happen.

Right now however they decided to get some idea on who the man was along with his A.I companion, and figure out just what sort of reality the man came from. They talked to one another just how they planned to approach the matter when it concerned what the situation was on Earth, or at least their Earth as it were.

The blood samples were sent directly to Felicity Smoak, an old friend of Oliver Queen who was working there and hopefully that could get some results from the test in question. They managed to get some samples of the disease Aresia made so they could find some way to destroy it in the atmosphere. They were all in the room while the Spartan and his A.I partner were in the other as the Spartan apparently was eating some MREs.

"So, what exactly do we tell him?"

Dinah asked the others, and they already knew just what she was driving at as Barbara spoke.

"I think we should tell him the truth, he has to know and make his own choice after this."

Mari then replied.

"But we don't know anything about him or his companion ladies. How can we just ignore that fact? the least we can do is find out more from him even if he is going to be tip lipped at some point."

Kara replied.

"How can you be sure of that?"

"He's military and I have no doubt that Cortana is too, so they would not reveal anything they feel is classified, but that does not mean that they can't just say no to sharing information."

They continued to talk until Dinah got a message and it was from Felicity and it was important, important enough that the ENTIRE League had to hear it. They were confused by that and soon got into contact with the brainy blonde as she was looking like she had just discovered something VERY important.

"Guys! You have got to listen to what we just learned here in the labs!"

"Slow down Felicity, what's gotten you so hyped up?"

"Guys...this...Master Chief's DNA and tissue samples, we did test them with the samples of Aresia's disease, but instead of being damaged and then eventually killed like the others...the cells and DNA...were untouched! We...we did even more serious tests and injected the plague strain...and not only did they remain healthy...but they actually...broke down the plague and reduced to...harmless base proteins! We did the tests a hundred times down here in the labs and triple checked the results...and they all say the same thing! He's...immune to the plague!"

One could hear a pin drop in the room and Diana finally spoke.

"Hold it...are you saying he...is immune?!"

"Yes! he's immune to Aresia's plague! If we can synthesis a cure from his blood and DNA, we can finally immunize any male child born so they can resist the disease! Hell, if he...donates his sperm to the sperm banks, every child who is born male from him...is totally immune! And I ran his DNA...he has NO DNA flaws guys...his DNA is not only very robust and malleable, but also has far less junk sequences and all of this appears natural! He's basically...a phsyically and genetically superior human!"

Felicity was utterly awed by this but her awe paled in comparison to the shock and amazement in the room as the League members were trying their best to come to terms with the fact that not only were they dealing with a man who not only fought FOUR of them in a very injured state which would have put normal men in traction for months, but apparently was IMMUNE to the plague. It took a while to run though all the data Felicity sent them and they had a LOT to think about. But it was decided that they had to consider telling the Spartan and his A.I companion just what the situation was.

...

Hours later...

Cortana looked at the League with an utterly incredulous expression while John looked at the League members calmly, but Cortana, being highly adept at understanding the mood of her long-time partner and protector could tell he was LESS than amused.

"So let me get this right... this Aresia who is an Amazon by adoption, not only leaves your homeland Diana against the rules, but also used books on germ warfare to develop a plague to kill all men because of not only her past trauma as a war orphan, but because of your people's teachings. You and your mother and Hawkgirl here managed to stop her...but NOT before the plague spread too fast and consumed ALL the men in the world and killed them and by the time anything could be done, the men of this Earth are all dead. Did we miss anything?"

Diana looked at the irate A.I in shame and could tell that the Spartan who did not wear his helmet was glaring at her intently.

"No...no you did not, and I am ashamed and horrified that she had done this...she took our beliefs to this level and thus a lot of people hate not only me but my Amazon sisters well."

Cortana snorted and replied.

"After what you told us, they have every right to be outraged with what happened. Your sister basically committed gender Genocide, and that makes her a Terrorist. Geez and I thought the Innies were bad, at least they had some sense in what they were doing at the time...this...genocide over gender is complete horse manure."

John then spoke sternly.

"Is she dead?"

Diana looked at the Spartan in shock and replied.

"N-No... we have not been able to find her body...why?"

"Because if she is alive then I intend to kill her for her crimes, by the articles of the UEG penal code for war crimes, she is already deserving of the death penalty."

The League were shocked by this and Cortana saw that and spoke.

"Not exactly the most encouraging words to come out of your mouth Chief, but I get where you are going with that, this Aresia, had she tried that stunt back home, there would be hundreds of FEMALE Marines, Army, and ODST personnel lining up to get a chance to be the ones the give her death by firing squad. But I think that it would be best that Diana here and the rest of the League should deal with this, we're technically the new comers here Chief."

"She committed genocide Cortana."

"Yeah, but she is Diana's problem since if what we know is right, then by law she is to be dealt with by the Amazons since she is one of them...though I doubt the rest of the world will see it that way."

John gave a slight shrug at that and replied.

"She alone, not Diana or her people, am I right?"

Cortana nodded.

"Yep, she's a rogue Amazon Chief and I doubt ALL Amazons are like her, and I can bet that Diana here is such a person since she is pretty much here and not on her homeland plus she joined the League which was founded by men to help defend the world. Speaking of which...I just learned of the fact that my caveman here is immune to the plague that this Aresia made...you sent his DNA and more to STAR Labs and they found out he is immune. What exactly do you have in mind for John here?"

Dinah finally explained that and Cortana gave the universal look that meant...'Are you kidding?!', when she was told that they were not, she shook her head and spoke to John on the matter. Once that was over John spoke next.

"You need my DNA and tissue samples to create a serum?"

"Yes...and we"

"You need my sperm too?"

THAT made a lot of women blush bright red, though the Spartan still remained stoic and stern and then he looked at Cortana who replied.

"Your call Chief."

"Let me think it over."

...

John then spoke to Cortana in the armour "Were they lying?" he asked the first question he wanted to know.

"No, they weren't lying Chief, they were telling the truth" Cortana replied "So what do you think of all this?" she then asked "I mean, I know you have a lucky streak, but some would call this hitting the jackpot as it were" she said with some humour in her voice.

"They wouldn't see the bad side to this" John replied.

"Yeah, the governments of this world would want to cut you open and find out what makes you tick" Cortana said "And I'll bet that women will be coming out of the woodwork just to get a piece of you" she added.

"I don't like this" John then said.

"Oh don't be a cry-baby you big caveman" Cortana replied "I'm sure we can find a way to make this more comfortable for you" she said.

Whilst they were talking to each other inside the armour, Diana and the League were talking amongst themselves.

"So how is it possible for this guy to be immune to the disease?" Kara asked "And for that matter, how was he even able to fight us with all those horrible injuries?" she added.

"I don't know, but I get the feeling that out new friend might not be totally human himself" Shayera replied "Most humans I know wouldn't be able to keep fighting with those kind of injuries" she said.

"Could he be an alien?" Zatanna asked.

"Well, he looked human" Diana replied "Maybe he's something similar to a New God from Apockalips or New Genesis?" she suggested.

"This is all speculation and we don't have time for that now" Shayera said "We just need to get this Spartan guy to help us, he may be the only one who can" she added.

It did not take long for the League to look at the Spartan who was now joined by his A.I companion who gave a smirk that looked just like the kind one gave when she knew something no one else in the room knew about or that of someone who had won the lottery grand prize.

"Okay ladies, I've managed to speak to the caveman here and convinced him to help you all out. Naturally though it took a while for him to see it my way."

John replied

"Not that I had a choice, but I swore an oath to defend Earth and her colonies, and while that is with the UNSC and...my reality's Humanity, I can't turn that away. Until there is a way for me to return home alongside Cortana, then I am willing to d what I can...even though I still have doubts."

Cortana chuckled a bit that and replied.

"Well, I guess that settles it, anyway ladies, before anything else, we still need to get my caveman's gear fully upgraded up to snuff and whatever else we can salvage from the Dawn. That Frigate may be half a ship, bu there's a LOT of tech and gear in there I'd prefer tobe in safe hands than someone's own hands."

Dinah then spoke.

"Hold it...that ship is a FRIGATE?! I'm no specialist in the Navy or anything, but how can something that big be a Frigate?!"

Cortana chuckled at that and replied.

"Don't act so shocked, the Dawn is a Charon Class Frigate, the other ship classes are a lot larger than that, anyway, we'll help but some ground rules would have to be ironed out before anything else happens. Plus we also need to talk about some other matters, namely on where we came from..."

"Cortana..."

The A.I turned and replied.

"They need to know who you are Chief, the fact that you are immune to a plague that's killed every last male human on this planet is pretty shocking to them as well as uplifting. But naturally that raised questions, one of them actually being are you a full human? Some of the League actually think you're an alien that looks human."

John cocked his head to the side and then looked at the League members. To anyone who did not know Spartan body language, that would have looked normal, but to one who was familiar, then they would have known that John took offense to that statement. And while they could not see his face again nor read his body language, the way he spoke told them that he was offended.

"Excuse me? What gave you that idea?"

The League realized that he was not all that happy and it fell to none other than Kara to speak.

"Well, take me for instance, I look human but I am a Kryptonian with abilities that don't really belong to humans, and I usually don't need to eat food and drink because I actually get a lot of power from a yellow sun and don't get any nutrients from food and drink, but I eat it because I like the taste and feel of it. Plus a few other abilities I can show you if you want."

John was silent for a moment or two and finally spoke

"Fair enough."

Diana then spoke

"Before this, I have to ask...how did you manage to stand your ground against all four of us while in such an injured state?"

"I'm a Spartan...and I have had worse than those."

That did not quite answer all the questions but Cortana soon got serious and spoke to them once more.

"All right, before we go any further I was not joking that we have a LOT to discuss, and this will not be easy for you accept. So we are going to give you what data we have. A lot of what you are about to see is all recorded and hardly the kind one can fake and make real. And make sure we are not lying...Chief?"

John moved back to reveal his Spartan grade CNI implant on the back of his head which shocked the League and Zatanna spoke.

"What the heck is that?!"

"CNI Implant or Command Neural Interface Implant, all UNSC personnel are equipped with this via surgery, only through extreme head trauma or surgery can remove the Implants, the former being lethal, and the latter non-lethal. You will be looking into MY memories as well as the records Cortana is willing to share. Let's begin..."

...

The images were shown as John willing plugged an access cable into his CNI implant and Cortana showed her records, they showed the aftermath of their reality's World war 2 and explained that they had no magic there, no aliens, no Amazons, no Meta-humans, and no Gods so a vast majority of the League's members now, even the now all female League, were not around there and they witnessed the rise of the United Nations, as well as the creation of the International Society of Civil Engineers and the creation of a Unified Earth Government where ALL governments of Earth formed into one solid body...much to the shock of the heroines as the idea of such a thing happening here would be impossible, along with the formation of the UNSC or the United nations Space Command when the time came for the Interplanetary War to happen.

They saw the devastation wrought on Earth and other colonies and how in the end of the conflict, the UN managed to win a serious victory but afterwards dealt with over militarization, mass starvation, and lack of space leading to overpopulation, the results of such a blasted conflict. It was only the development of the Slipspace Drive by Tobias Shaw and Wallace Fujikawa that finally found a way for Humanity to reach out beyond their home system and in effect founded a large number of worlds that were called the Inner Colonies and eventually these were followed by the Outer Colonies, resulting in Humanity establishing an interstellar empire that comprised of 800 worlds.

However the measures used for the Outer Colonies were poor to the Inner Colonies so many of them were pardoned law breakers, illegal settlers, and people who were against the UNSC and led by Corporate groups that cared more for profit than what they were doing and who they were leading. This plus growing desires for independence led to several demonstrations on various colonies that were not dangerous at first. But soon more extremist elements were taking to the streets and soon rebellion and insurrection began t take root with terrorist bombings and worse. Thus was born the Insurrection.

Initially the UNSC had been able to contain the cells as they were disorganized but more cropped up and became more organized as sympathizers to their cause in the CMA or the Colonial Administration Authority took root as well trading with the Black Market. There they learned of the first Spartan Program or as it was known then Project ORION and the use of adult subjects with new military grade genetic augmentations as well as higjly advanced gear at the time and training as well.

They did well but the League saw that soon the hidden risks of the augmentations came and soon with more cells cropping up, the ORION soldiers were soon disbanded and those who still chose to serve and could perform after receiving medical treatment, were sent back to their original units. Even though deemed a failure the tactics and methods were used to create the ODSTs or the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. They also learned of Dr. Elias Carver who made the carver Findings and after seeing how accurate they were turning out to be, in his horror he committed suicide.

Eventually they were allowed to meet none other Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey and it was she would change the scope of tings for John forever.

The League were shown the image of a tall woman who was elderly but carried herself with the confidence of an intelligent and capable woman. She was usually moving her hand on what appeared to be a PDA and wore simple glasses on herself as John continued.

"Dr. Halsey proposed a successor program to the Spartan I Program, citing that while the first was not successful, the successes they garnered were enough to validate a successor program and this time unlike before, they would use a stricter selection base for the new soldiers. The new subjects however would have to be physically and mentally superior to most individuals and with more malleable DNA as well as abilities that were a step above most. They would also be enhanced with more advanced military grade augmentations that were more efficient and potent versions of the same ones used by the First Gen Spartan soldiers. And unlike the original Spartans, the new Generation would no longer use conventional Body Armor but highly advanced military grade exoskeleton armour systems. This was presented to Vice Admiral Michael Stanforth, head of ONI's Section III or Special Projects Division and eventually presented to UNSC High Command and eventually approved...accepting the cost was worth the gains."

Shayera whistled a bit as she grasped the idea.

"That's a tall order...finding candidates like that in a population as big as what we're looking at must be horrendously expensive and very time consuming."

"True, this is where two legacies will piece together. The first was that those who were selected to form the first wave of colonists and those who followed until the formation of the Inner Colonies were the best and brightest Humanity could offer and also underwent gene therapy to handle the stresses to come. The process became so commonplace that those enhancements, while not military grade were now part of the human genome and thus was part of the whole process. The second legacy was that coming from the first ORION super soldiers, who contributed their own military grade enhancements into the gene pool. Essentially as weird as it might sound, these genetically superior children would amount to the famed supermen that Hitler was striving for in his time in World War 2."

"The program after running through a gamut of names, was eventually called the Spartan II Program had a recruit pool requirement of 300, but it was cut in half due to budget constraints, and eventually that same half was cut down to 75 candidates. These candidates had to be taught the true nature of war and how to wage it. They were to be taught the dynamics of war and given the best tools and education to do that."

The images showed a young child fighting on top of a hill with other children in what appeared to be some sort of game, the young boy was taller than the others, having deep brown hair, blue eyes, an aggressive and confident streak in him, freckles on his cheeks and was in slightly better physical shape than others. There they saw a younger Dr. Halsey speak to the young boy and play a game of flipping a coin. John spoke out to answer the unspoken question in the minds of the League.

"That is me when I was a kid in my home planet, and at the time I was playing in Dr. Halsey's words a more brutal version of the King of the Hill. She and then Junior Lieutenant Jacob Keyes would be impressed by my luck and intellect though I put no stock on the former..."

Cortana chuckled at that and replied.

"Please Chief, there was that old joke that the reason you had such a lucky streak was that you got Lady Luck in bed one night and you gave her such a marathon of bedroom antics that she blessed you with a near infinite amount of good luck so it would keep you safe and make you come back to her again."

John ignored that along with the looks the women were now giving him as he spoke again, knowing that what came next was not going to be pretty.

"...and she tested me with a coin toss. I correctly predicted the side of the coin that would land, and in that same year, me and 74 other candidates were marked and eventually they would be taken to Reach itself."

Dinah then spoke.

"I take it you were picked up once you were older for the Spartan II Program?"

The Spartan and the A.I sighed after looking at one another and John spoke.

"Miss Lance...the Spartan II Program was considered to be a last resort project by the UNSC to answer the Insurrection's growing power. To accomplish many of its objectives, the Program needed the recruits to be at their most impressionable age, thus I and the 74 other candidates who were to be part of the Program were children at age six. Our covert kidnapping by ONI field agents was covered by the use of Flash Clones, clones of us who were placed in accelerated aging to be at the same age as we were. These clones would soon die from the process that made them and thus would be buried due to huge amounts of genetic deformities and neurological disorders, their deaths would cover the true fate of the candidates."

The people were wide eyed by this, the implications of the whole thing utterly horrified the League and it was not long before Helena shouted

"They kidnapped you and others when you were all CHILDREN and used clones to cover it up?! This is despicable in every sense of the word!"

She was not alone as Diana frowned darkly and replied.

"How could this be considered right?! To use...children like this...not even the ancient Spartans were this barbaric!"

Dinah was also irate and the same could be said for the rest of the League.

John was not surprised at the reactions and explained that it was not a choice made lightly and pointed out of the actions of the Insurrectionists, using chemical weapons and nuclear ordnance on civilian sectors and more. These actions convinced Catherine that as distasteful in every moral and ethical front as it was, they had no other options left to them, even though she lamented that it had come to this. he told them that he and the others soon were on Reach and met her again along with Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, himself a Spartan I so one could say that it takes a Spartan to train a Spartan. John recalled how both Halsey and Mendez became his mother and after figure respectively and the same could be said for most of the candidates. And despite her best efforts, Halsey saw the Spartans to be children and not weapons with her taking John as the closest thing to a son.

The League were soon allowed to see the intense training underwent by the Spartan II candidates including John, ranging from marksmanship, to CQC, explosives manufacture, urban combat, field assault, field medical training, and more. Mendez trained them harder than even seasoned marines and was seen as brutal to some extent. But it was also shown that the Spartan IIs saw Mendez as a father figure and he also saw to no longer use Stun batons to wake them up. Halsey and the others in the program handled their dietary and medical needs as well their education and mental health. The children proved themselves to be exceptional as they absorbed the training well, as their education was extensive, ranging from military tactics, stratagems, and history to mathematics, physics, science and history. The video of the wolves hunting alone and as pack was there and also other lessons that showed an immense impact on the youths.

John also showed his two closest friends who like brother and sister to him, Sam and Kelly.

"As soon as we hit the age of fourteen we were ready for the augmentations that would be the second to final step."

The League saw John and all the other Spartan IIs male and female and were surprised at the fact that despite being fourteen they were all appearing as an eighteen-year-old Olympic level athletes. Hell no one at fourteen looked anything like them! Kara commented at that.

"Fourteen?! They look like eighteen-year-old Olympic Athletes! Those scars, was the training that bad?"

Cortana with a dark frown replied

"Not all of those scars were from training Miss Kent, those are 'accidents' courtesy of Tango Company."

"Tango Company?"

"An elite division of Marines who were training with the Spartan IIs, but none of them had ever beaten my caveman and his fellow Spartan brothers and sisters. Thus they were more than willing to avenge themselves by beating and torturing Spartan candidates when they caught them."

That enraged the League members and it was Mari who spoke.

"Did their CO punish them?"

"No...in fact he was the worst of the bunch, he covered up the beatings and was so angry at the idea of losing to the 'Section III freaks' as he called Chief here and his fellows that he actually broke safety protocols for the Program and instead of using TTRs for training ar games, ordered his troops to use live rounds."

That shocked them even more as Dinah was shocked at the idea of live rounds being used on children...

"Live rounds?! Good God...live rounds on children?!"

"Yes, you heard me right, live rounds were used. But John and his fellow Spartans still won. I will not reveal the procedures and the techniques used on the augmentations, but I can assure you of this much, it will NOT be pretty. What I will show you is that out of the 75 Spartan II candidates, 33 of them including Chief here would survive with no complications and recover, 10 would live but be so disfigured and crippled that they could no longer serve as they would have...the rest...would die."

And sure enough, they witnessed the Spartans enter the surgical room, one of them a black youth smiled a bit at John, only later they would see him scream out in sheer pain and fall back after spitting out the fluids and blood, dying on the table. Others died from massive bone growths that pierced their skin and organs, heart attacks, massive brain damage and worse. The sight was horrifying and it made some of the women nearly throw up, Kara did not hide it and vomited a bit of the food she had in her gut.

John said nothing but the tight fists his hands became made them realize that they were seeing his memories and he was recalling them quite vividly. Eventually he would recover and speak again.

"I would eventually recover on the Carrier Atlas and was training with weights in order to recover from augmentations. Sadly I was not yet used to the augmentations so I made an error with my weights, I soon faced several ODSTs who tried to provoke me in a fight when one of them was nearly injured due to the misplaced pin on the weights. They did not listen to me when I tried to reason with them and soon they faced me believing I would be easy prey...it did not end well for the ODSTs and would result in bad blood between the ODSTs and my fellow Spartans for years."

The words were true when they saw John killed and crippled the ODSTs and soon they would gain the first mission to capture the traitor Colonel Robert Watts, leader of the rebels on Eridanus after defeating their DIs in war games even when the DIs wore Powered Exoskeletons to even up the odds. That saw them fight saw the Spartans prove themselves to be formidable soldiers. Diana soon spoke to the man.

"What exactly did you gain from those...augmentations?"

John replied to that calmly.

"The augmentations I underwent and my fellow Spartans are far too complex and naturally are highly classified but are focused on improving our strength, speed, reflexes, intelligence, bone strength, and eyesight. And all of which has created a purely synergistic effect on our combat performances and exercises, something even Dr. Halsey did not expect."

"The ending results of the augmentations are as follows: We can lift over three times our body weight which amounts to six hundred pounds with the weight due to the augmentations on our strength. bone strength and in turn mass. This in turn also means our abilities in close combat have increased exponentially with our weakest punch being seen to inflict over 1190 PSI or pounds per square inch, and our strongest punch is seen to inflict around 3755 PSI. Our kicks can also accomplish those same PSI variables. Thus our punches and kicks can actually send even heavily armoured soldiers flying back several meters though the distance changes with us having our own strength levels."

"We can run at clocked speeds of at least 55 Km/h or 32.4 miles per hour and have a highly advanced recovery time so we do not get exhausted so easily. So this in turn actually increases our naturally present healing factor which while not powerful, means we can recover from injuries that would place any regular combatant in the ICU for a year or more. Our reflexes and reaction time have been clocked as a conservative pace of twenty milliseconds. Mind you, that is in a NON-Combat setting, in a full combat scenario with adrenaline flowing as well as the fight or flight response being active we all can see, hear, think, and react at such a pace that everything to us literally slows down yet speeds up at the same time. This has allowed us to have a rapid sense of action and reaction as well as heightened combat awareness to the point we can even dodge weapons fire long before the slugs leave the barrel. Our movements become almost impossible for outsiders to spoke as all they will see is a blur."

"Combining our strength and speed we can leap at least ten to eleven feet in the air and higher at full running speed."

'Our augmented eyesight also allows us to see at longer distances without the aid of scopes on occasion and has granted us a completely natural unaided perfect night-vision."

"We also have developed a latent form of battle field telepathy with one another that is unrelated to me and my sister Brianna being Telepaths. This allows us to see the battlefield in a completely different manner and how to understand one another in combat even if we are not together."

John ignored the looks of shock sent to him by the League and carried on.

"Mind you though, that baseline was established when my siblings and I were merely fourteen and freshly recovered from augmentations. We all are now and thus our bodies have acclimatized to the augmentations as well as having more experience through extensive training and drills as well as actual front line combat missions. Thus at our age...the current baseline is as follows."

"We can now run at nearly 62 km/h have a reaction time of at least ten milliseconds, can lift five times now our original weight which means we can now lift over 3600 pounds or 3 and a half tons of weight. Our eyes have an improved night vision and range of perception. Our bones have grown denser and stronger along with our muscles. We all can now heal and recover at double the pace than before. Our weakest punch is now clocked at 4580 PSI with the strongest punch at around 5290 PSI, with our kicks being at the exact same range. So basically if you were to engage us in close combat...the phrase...'Splattered melon' comes to mind very quickly."

"And mind you...all of THAT is WITHOUT the fourth generation Armor I wear on me."

It was not long however, that John soon showed to the women of the League the true enemy that would test the Spartans and the UNSC to their absolute limits.

"In a few weeks however, a new enemy would arise and test Humanity and my fellow Spartans to our absolute limits. The Spartan II Program would shift it's goal from containing insurrection and rebellion to the defense of all human life."

Barbara spoke at that.

"What do you mean?"

Cortana soon showed the image of Harvest long before the event that would befall it, it was indeed a beautiful world.

"This is Harvest, one of the colonies that focused on agriculture and was a bread basket world to provide food and produce to other planets. On February 5, 2525, the communications array to Harvest was cut and the planet went offline. The CAA sent a scout vessel and was lost soon after it sent a message that it ended the Slipspace jump. Soon a battle group was deployed there to find out what was going on...they saw this."

Harvest was shown again,only this time...it was like seeing hell itself. the ones beautiful garden world was now a fiery ruin, lands reduced to smoking lass, firestorms raging over the surface, oceans now dry and the earth caked into nothing but glass, toxic fumes covered the world.

Diana was horrified and spoke.

"Good God...what...happened?"

"They did..."

The image showed an alien ship that soon moved to attack the UNSC battlegroup and two were destroyed and only one ship, heavily damaged escaped and showed them the image of the attackers.

"Humans! Here me! Your destruction is the will of the Gods! And we? We are their instrument!"

John spoke next.

"Before you is a Prophet, a member of the leader species of a theocratic alliance of races who were collectively known as the Covenant. These races worshiped a long dead advanced race known as the Forerunners as Gods, though the Kig-Yar, or the Jackals were not as religious. The Covenant would be made of the Sangheili, the Kig-Yar, the Mgalekgolo, the Unggoy, the Yan'me, the Jiralhanae, and the San Shyuum, the only non hostile race would the Huragok themselves. This would begin a war that would change the fate of the UNSC, the reason was only learned long after the war. The three future leaders of the Covenant, Truth, Mercy, and Regret sought to gain more power by finding a reliquary of Forerunner artifacts on Harvest itself. They spoke to the Oracle on the Forerunner ship they found centuries before. A Forerunner A.I that was known as Mendicant Bias that told them that they had formed their faith on an incorrect translation, a lie in all senses. The truth was that they were seeking not a collection of Forerunner artifacts, but the Reclaimers, the true inheritors of the Forerunners' legacy...and they were the Humans."

"The three did not wish their power taken and the Covenant that their race controlled to fragment should the truth come out. So they decreed that Humanity was an affront to their Gods and that ALL humans were to be hunted down exterminated, in effect they declared a Holy War on mankind."

That shocked every member of the League as Zatanna spoke.

"Holy War?!"

John nodded as Cortana spoke.

"Humanity in the Covenant's eyes had to be wiped clean from the Galaxy, that meant everyone...men, women, children, young, old, healthy, sickly, UNSC citizen, Insurrectionist, or independent...as long as you were human they were going to kill you. Harvest was the first and six million people died that day...they were going to be the first to suffer a three decade war that would claim 23 billion lives and the loss of over three hundred worlds to the fate of harvest, which was Glassing."

She then looked at John and then to the League and spoke once more.

"I suggest you ladies get ready, all of these records came not just from what my caveman here has seen, but also from many other brave men and women who gave their lives to give humanity in our reality a fighting chance. The UNSC Covenant War was not a war of ideals, not a war over resources, religion, property, or all those other things. It was a war for the right to survive as a species...a war against annihilation and genocide."

Soon the images showed that to be true, as Humanity was literally outnumbered seven to one as they were one race against many. The Covenant had advantages in numbers, technology, firepower, and ships as mankind was suffering severely. The UNSC Navy suffered horrendous losses as even when they had the numerical advantage in space, losses were high making even the handful of victories that they gained were all Pyrrhic in both best and worst. On the ground it was as bad as any battle was a massacre as Humanity was still outnumbered and outgunned with many of the more massive races outmatching the humans in many ways.

The battles were utterly bloody and brutal as the Covenant butchered any human they came across, they even killed defenceless children and babies, the Brutes, the jackals, and the Grunts were the worst as they actually developed a taste for human flesh and were seen hunting humans and then eating them when they were alive or even dead. The Covenant took NO prisoners in war, and even if they did, it was only for a while before they ruthlessly killed their captives. The League were utterly disgusted by all of this and soon they saw how the Spartans would change the battle situations on the surface of worlds.

Namely John as they saw him participate in numerous battles alongside his fellow Spartans and alongside UNSC personnel either marines, or Army as well as Navy and Air Force. They saw how the Spartans would raise the failing morale of the UNSC and inspire once despondent men and women of the military to stand and fight. Their heroic rear guard actions that blunted attacks that could have led to massacres. Raids that shattered the momentum of the Covenant forces, and more that resulted on the Spartans gaining the epithet Demons for their ability to inflict massive losses for the Covenant.

John himself would perform feats of immense valour and skill, taking part in over two hundred high risk missions and accomplishing them despite innumerable odds and he had won every major military award except Prisoner of War Medallion, though it was also because the idea of a Spartan being captured was a blow to the UNSC's already low morale. They witnessed the Fall of Reach along with discovering Cortana's origins as the literal brain child of Dr. Halsey and paired with John in the MJOLNIR Mark V and the strong partnership that would soon follow, the arrival of the Pillar of Autumn to the first Halo Array and how there he discovered the Flood and the horrors they could unleash along with the power of Halo and what it could mean if activated.

They saw John rescue many other survivors and back to the planet of Reach, then launch Operation First Strike, return to Earth to gain the MJOLNIR Mark VI, the fierce battle over Earth and his actions to take out one of the Carriers with a bomb made by the Covenant, the First Battle of New Mombasa, the travels to the Delta Halo, their killing of the prophet of Regret, meeting the Arbiter and the Gravemind, their alliance to stop the firing of the Delta Halo and John's arrival into the Forerunner Dreadnought though he left Cortana behind but not before promising to come back for her in High Charity, the now Flood infested capital of the Covenant leadership.

Here they saw him fight against a literal army, taking weapons that he could find, human or not and waging a one man war in a ship that was the size of a massive city. Eventually they arrived back at Earth and here he left the ship to help the war on the ground.

They witnessed his fiery return into Earth from atmosphere, using only a fragment of the Dreadnought's hull as a heat shield and was soon rescued by the UNSC with an old friend Avery Johnson and learning of the Schism among the Covenant at the Elites now were aware of the truth and the lies told to them by the Prophets as well as the order to kill them all which was to be done by the Brutes. Thus explaining why the Arbiter was now on their side along with the Separatists, but it was not easy for the Spartan to simply trust the one who was before him. They saw him rescue several more Marines and fight the Loyalists who were now led solely by the Brutes and make it to Crow's Nest and soon learn of the Ark, and the Gateway into it.

They witnessed the battle inside the back as the Covenant Loyalists came in fast and hard, but the Spartan and the Arbiter as well as the rescued Marines took to the fight and after setting up the explosive to destroy the base, the Spartan and his allies would take to the field. Taking what forces they had to secure the Highway and eventually fight through Voi to reach the massive portal generator they defeated a Scarab Walker and soon they witnessed the escape of the Dreadnought and the arrival of the Flood.

They watched as the UNSC and the Separatist fought to contain this deadly threat and eventually rescue a fragment of Cortana who warned them of the Ark and what it was and what would happen if the Prophet secured it. Even though Lord Hood himself, the leader of the UNSC in this dark time and overall boss of the master Chief and Cortana doubted that this was a wise idea, the Spartan stood with his old friend and soon a small but heavily armed and supplied UNSC task force was sent with the might of the Separatists to stop the Loyalists on the Ark. They saw the full battle begin and the heavy and dangerous combat that the UNSC forces and their allies took part in.

Soon they saw the capture of Johnson, the death of Miranda Keyes and the stopping of the Halo Array being fired and the fall of the Covenant with the Prophet of Truth's death along with the arrival of the Flood. They saw the battle to infiltrate the hive that was now High Charity and the rescue of Cortana along with the evacuation of the UNSC Separatist task force in the Shadow of Intent while only the Spartan, the Arbiter and Johnson alongside the Monitor Guilty Spark would take the fight to secure the new halo's firing control room. But sadly when it seemed to be the end of the whole thing, the Monitor, unwilling to lose another Ring even if firing the Ring to end the Flood was what it was built for attacked and brutally wounded Johnson, then forced the Arbiter back leaving John to fight the now rampant A.I alone.

In the end it was Johnson who managed to gain enough strength to pass his Spartan Laser to the Chief and with it, the Spartan slew the A.I but Johnson was too far gone...they saw him promise to save him but the man refused and told him not to let Cortana go and to send him out with a bang...and there Avery J Johnson died a hero as John spoke.

"He was on Harvest...he was there at the very beginning...and now he saw it to the end with the death of the Prophet."

The League could tell that the bond of friendship was there for the Spartan and the now deceased marine officer. John took the Index alongside Cortana and soon fired the Array and for the first time in safety as the Ark was at the rim of the galaxy, well away from any other Halo Array that could pick up the firing signal. The escape of the Spartan and the Arbiter on the Warthog was exactly similar to how he and Cortana left the Pillar back on the old Halo and soon they got back into the Dawn and soon moved to escape and head into a Slipspace Portal. They soon witnessed the events that led to John and Cortana being left behind in the now cut half of the Dawn, showing that while the portal had allowed one half of the dawn to arrive safely, the damage and the firing of the array released enough energy to potentially hurl them into another dimension.

Their own as they saw John go into cryo and sleep while Cortana watched over him and send out the beacon and soon they saw him awaken when Cortana had managed to contact them and soon they saw through his memories how he snuck up on the four League members and what that led to. As soon as that was over, Cortana looked at John and saw that he was tired...no doubt a REAL amount of sleep was in order, not cryo-sleep but actual sleep.

"All right big guy, time for you get some sleep, REAL sleep this time, no cryo-sleep for you."

"Fair enough..."

Cortana smiled.

"Finally you're listening to me...a miracle indeed! Anyhow, once you get enough shut eye we all can discuss just HOW we help the Human race from this disaster. Just tell us where he can sleep and we'll see you all in twelve hours, cryo-sleep is all well and good in long travels but no substitute for actual sleep."

Barbara soon spoke.

"Before you go...how old are you?"

John thought it over before placing his helmet back on and replying.

"I was at least fifteen when we the War broke out...fought at least 30 years in it but moved from battle field to battle field in cryo-sleep and in Slipspace so time is cut short by time dilation...and cryo-stasis. So I'm technically in my fifties..."

Cortana then chimed in.

"But with those factors, ol' caveman here is actually at the right age of 25...so then ladies see you in a few."

As John and Cortana left the room, the women then began to talk amongst themselves.

"I can't believe what I just saw" Dinah murmured "Everything that he's gone through and he's still alive!" she said "How is he even still alive? Or sane for that matter?" she asked out loud.

"I've seen a few things in my time with the Thanagarian army that would have driven most insane" Shayera said "That said, some of the things I've just seen like this Flood or the Covenant... that could just about top it" she added.

"But what about the fact that he's a child soldier?!" Kara exclaimed "It wasn't right to rip him away from his family when he was so young!" she indignantly.

"I agree" Diana replied "Even the Ancient Spartans of Greece were given a chance till their teens before drafted and were allowed family and loved ones!" she said as her blue eyes hardened in anger at the thought of children being kidnapped to be made into soldiers.

"I don't agree with it either" Helena said "But still... all the good the Spartans did for the UNSC, I guess it justifies it somehow" she reasoned "But it's still not right" she added grimly.

"So what do we do about our new friend now?" Zatanna asked

"He's been honest with us" Shayera replied "We should help him adjust to being in this universe more so given the fact that he's the only living male human alive on Earth now" she said "A lot of people will be after him for a lot of reasons" she added grimly.

"Then it is all the more important we protect him" Diana said.

"Somehow I don't think that Chief will need much protection" Mari remarked.

"Even so, we can't risk him falling into the wrong hands to be used as a bargaining chip" Shayera replied.

Everyone nodded their agreement and decided to get some rest for the night.

…

To be continued

A/N: well there it is everyone, the first chapter of the conjoined effort between Freedom Guard and myself before his passing. This was Freedom Guard's story mostly with me helping out here and there with what little I can do but even I don't know where Freedom was taking this story so I'm mostly just copying and pasting what Freedom shared with me. I know this seems like plagiarising but this version of Justice League of Amazons was too good to leave rotting away and so in honour of Freedom Guard's memory, I've decided to show this story to everyone, one of the last few things he left behind for us all to see.
