"I'm still here!" Blackfire finally said snapping as she blew a black ball of energy straight towards Jasper who knocked it away and looked over at her with an uninterested expression upon his face.

"Not sure why... seeing as you need to find your sister or whatever... good luck," Jasper said smiling quickly before his expression dropping as he looked over at his new team.

"So... we can either side with Bruce... Side with Clark... or we can do our own thing... what do you think about the name... 7 terrors... yeah that sounds nice..." Jasper said putting his hand on his chin as he started planning what to do now that he was back.

"Before we do anything... Introduce yourselves... I don't know most of you" Jasper said seeing Blackfire walking away into the distance, at least one worry was gone from his mind.

"I'm Raven..." Raven said looking at him as he nodded awkwardly. He didn't mean her, he meant the others that were not known by him. "Cool... we'll talk later..." He said before turning to the others and gesturing for them to continue with their introductions.

"No... Right now" Raven said causing Jasper to look at her before sighing and turning around walking away into the forest. "You coming?... hurry up," Jasper said continuing to walk as the rest of the terrors stood there awkwardly, Jason with a cheeky smile on his face. He expected to hear lots of yelling.

"Hey, let's go spy on them," Jason said in a whisper and walked forward keeping his steps silent. The others shrugged and started to follow him. Jason had gathered them together, so they were actually more receptive to him being the leader, but they'd ignore it if Jason himself said that Jasper was the leader. the only ones who knew Jasper personally were Supergirl and Raven, along with Devourer or Sarah.

"Why do you want to talk?... wanna ask where I've been?... or maybe-" Jasper stopped as Raven stepped forward and hugged him tightly. Jasper didn't know what to do, she had suddenly hugged him without any warning.

"I'm glad... that you're alright..." Raven said backing away smiling as she wiped a tear off her cheek, still smiling. Jasper blinked and looked to the right to see Jason chuckling to himself.

"Were you worried about me?... Come on you know I'm the strongest!" Jasper said putting a hand on Raven's head. Raven smiled and nodded before sighing and turning to the right where the rest of the team was. "If you're going to lead your own team then you need to get to know them."

Jasper nodded, but on the inside, he was thinking, ' Weren't you the one who stopped me from meeting them!?' That was only a thought as he raised his hand signaling the team to come out.

"We can get to know each other during our time spent... from now on... we're all family... let's go..." Jasper said putting his hands in his pocket and walking away as the rest followed him, raven and Jason in the front with Jasper.

...

Jasper was sitting on a roof holding the knife that The God Sage had given him and looking down on 2 people, who were also looking back at him, without any emotion in their expressions.

"Hey... Rize... Nathan..." Jasper said hopping down until he was in front of the two. Nathan hid behind Rize, even though he knew it was Jasper he'd seen scary things while Jasper was gone.

"So... you're alive... that's great," Rize said picking up Nathan and turning away. "You're just gonna leave?... Look I'm sorry ok?..." Jasper said catching her arm causing her to stop.

"Sorry?... why can't I believe you?... I... just don't know Jasper..." Rize said looking down as Jasper tightened his grip. "Let me go..." Rize managed to get out.

"No, I-"

*Slam*

Jasper widened his eyes as he hit an alley wall. Looking forward he saw a fully ghouled out Rize who had set down Nathan and was now walking forward. "Just let it go... get out of my head... I want to forget already... What are we doing?... We shouldn't have kissed that time... crap" Rize stopped in front of Jasper and fell to her knees as her kagune disappeared.

"Are you?... really sorry?... because... I... just want to be together with you..." Rize asked falling forward into his arms. "Yeah... let's go... I also want to be there when they fight Bruce... but I'll come back right after..."

Rize nodded as she lay in his arms along with Nathan who now came running enthusiastically. "Yay! Mommy and Daddy are back together!" He yelled cheerfully as Jasper chuckled.

'2 weeks huh?... I'll kill both Darkseid and that fucking god...' Jasper thought as he disappeared in a portal back to the secret base...

...

2 weeks later Batman was cornered with a dead flash in his arms, he was still smiling though as the rain ran down his mask, giving him a darker and sinister appearance.

"It's over Bruce! Give up!" Superman stated as he stood there bleeding from the kryptonite sword that Bruce had sliced him with. The others weren't in much better shape, and the young justice was already mainly dead except for 3, Dick, Kara, and speedy, also known as Thea, who was Oliver queen's sister... Oliver had already been murdered by Bruce.

"Give up?... Never... I'm always 3 steps ahead of all of you hehehehehHEHEHEHEHE" Bruce started laughing hysterically as he threw Barry's body to the side. Taking out a gun he shot towards Wonder Woman who blocked it and rushed forward to restrain him.

*Whoosh*

Diana widened her eyes as she flew back after being blown away by an impossibly strong force that had appeared, there was no way it could be Bruce.

"Geez... 2 months and you're all at each other's throats... You all need to stop bitching..." Jasper said standing in front of Bryce and looking at the surprised Justice League, along with the remains of the Young Justice team.

"J-Jasper?... but we thought Darkse-" Jasper looked at Clark as he said this, did Clark really find it impossible that he was alive?... literally all of them had nearly died or straight out died before.

"Well... I didn't... unfortunately..." Jasper stopped talking and turned back to see Bruce standing there without his mask looking at him in shock. The truth of the matter was that Bruce loved each one of his adopted children, it had broken him when Jason had died, even more so when Dick left, he was already on the brink of madness when Jasper had 'Died'

At first, he thought of him as a monster, but as time went on he stopped seeing that and only saw him as a son, a son that hopefully wouldn't leave him, as Damian had the same week after the battle with Darkseid, causing him to finally give in to the grief and kill.

When he did it, it felt good, better than he had expected. So he had done it again, killing universe 2's flash, and then recently when they cornered him he'd killed their universes flash.

It was nothing personal... he just felt like it, it was as if his mind was filtering it as a game... a simulation, something that wasn't... no couldn't be real... He wasn't this type of person. Bruce looked into Jasper's eyes as he realized who it was.

Instead of saying anything, however, Bruce lunged forward with a knife shooting at the Justice league as his eyes were clouded over. Jasper noticed this before raising his right foot and bringing it down hitting Bruce into the concrete wall.

"So... you're being Pseudo controlled... those orders from a few months ago must not have gone away... but now you're aware of it" Jasper sighed as he brought his hands together and looked at bruce with a confident expression, "Then come at me... Fucking bat..."

Batman narrowed his eyes as he raised his hand and shot out yellow energy surprising Jasper who jumped out of the way to dodge. "Fucking dirty... I love it" Jasper said as he spun in the air and delivered a kick to bruce.

Blocking the kick Bruce, who wasn't truly in control of his body, could only watch as he elbowed Jaspers solar plexus and shot him multiple times in the head.

"That shit doesn't work anymore..." Jasper said as he ducked and superman delivered a punch to Bruce's face causing him to fly back and land on his back with a heavy thud.

"Come on kids... stop these fuckers..." Jasper said delivering a back fist to Clark. Superman caught it and swung him into a wall, using his superior strength.

"This is our fight, Jasper!" Clark said his eyes glowing red. Jasper sighed as he stood up, "You wanna kill him?... I can tell... but whatever happened-" Jasper stopped as he dodged the Heat beam that was fired off from Superman.

"He killed her!" Clark said loudly as his rage was finally out in the open, "I was about to have a son!... and he killed her..." Clark said the last part calmly as Jasper started chuckling.

"You know... it's not funny... sorry for your loss... it's just... I could have sworn this has happened before... well whatever" Jasper beat don getting into a fighting stance as in the background the other 6 were fighting off the Justice League.

(3 hours ago)

"So... you and Rize seem to be fine..." Raven said as Jasper was hitting a punching bag. Jasper stopped and smiled, "Yeah... everything worked out now..." He said resuming his session as sweat dripped from his brow.

"So what's the plan... they will definitely go after him today... who are we fighting with?" Raven asked as she decided to meditate as they talked. Jasper kept punching the bag as he saw the glimpse of his son watching him, Jasper chuckled cheerfully before turning back to Raven.

"We... are fighting the Justice League..." Jasper said loud enough for everyone to hear and cause them to stop and look at him. Jason smirked and pulled out a gun and shot toward a target. "It's not what you think..." He said quietly as he caught the sight of Rize glaring at him.

Rize noticed that he caught sight of her and ghouled out, "If it were like this before I would have killed you... still can" Jason nodded before turning back to his gun targets, all while feeling a cold sweat on his back.

"What do you mean?... Isn't Batman in the wrong?" Sarah asked picking up[ Nathan and asking as Jasper smiled. "And?... I never said we were heroes... besides... this will only be stopping them from beating him... we can go wild... I'll need to get rid of any distractions otherwise I won't be fully focused when fighting that stony bastard..." Jasper said his aura gaining a violent touch and everyone knew to stop asking questions.

"Terrors... I like that name..." Jasper said finally breaking the few minutes of silence that had broken out of the room. "3 hours... that's our time limit... then we leave... now I have things to do..." Jasper said pulling on his jacket and leaving the hideout as everyone either went to relax or train.

...

*Pow* *Pow*

Gunshots went off as I finished my target and packed up my mercenary equipment, work was harder now that people were seeing that Batman had started killing, something that had even been broadcasted live on T.V.

"Good shot!" Harley said coming out of the shadows with the rest of the team walked up, including a couple of new additions being Catwoman, Huntress, and also Poison Ivy.

"I don't miss," I said before glancing to the side seeing an adult man standing there as he held a small knife against his finger and drawing blood from it. "Truly a good shot... do you think you can do that all the time?"

The man stepped out of the shadows and gave a quick glance behind me as I pointed my gun at this unfamiliar person. "Woah Deadshot no need to pull out the nine..." He said mockingly as he swiped the Knife subtly across the right.

In the next second, I saw the barrel off my gun slide off cleanly as he smiled proudly, though it seemed he was uncertain if he would have been able to do that. "What do you want with us, hurry or I shoot 1-?" I said calmly before stopping and gulping as plants grew at my feet and two Glocks were pressed against the back of my head, along with my arm being restrained as the others watched in confusion.

"Don't threaten him... it won't end well... and not because of him" Harley said smiling widely as Catwoman and Poison Ivy nodded.

(End Pov- Jasper Pov Start)

"I'm flattered, having people fight for you is one hell of an experience... well, I did come here for a reason..." I said smirking at the surprised Deadshot and smiling at the girls before waving them away and twisting my hand as Shadows consumed it. The next second something appeared in my hand and I set it in front of Deadshot.

"What is this?... well I can tell it's a gun... but what the fuck are you thinking giving it to me?" Deadshot said looking down at the sniper I had given him. It was modified using alien tech and would hopefully be more powerful than normal ones.

"Oh... nothing... I just need you to kill someone for me... of course, you're weak so he'd kill you easily... but I want you to at least cover me as I kill him..." I said turning away and walking back to the alley I had come out of.

"I'll come to get you after rallying the rest of the people I need... well bye," I said waving as I walked through a portal and landed just in time to kick Wonder Woman away from bruce...
