Sitting in front of me was Lois Lane instead of my favorite reporter Vicki Vale. Furry wanted me to do this interview to raise the credibility of Shield and although it was never said he wanted me discourage anti-Xenos terrorists. I don't plan to actually do that as my entire persona was built on humanity first understanding which is why I would be a different announcement.

Lois: Mr Black I'm so glad that you finally decided to give the Daily planet a chance (Sarcastically). What made you change your mind?

"Nothing I was told to do so otherwise I would have rather have gone with Vicki rather than you"

Lois: So because I refuse to spread my my legs for you...

"No, it's because you think you can manipulate me and already judged me based upon my upbringing so how could I trust your integrity?"

Lois: What do...

Jimmy Olsen: Lois, we are live in five!

Without further protest we sat across from one another as the crew were doing last minute checks. As the countdown began everyone else was cleared from the set as Lois gave me one last glare before returning her face relaxed and neutral.

Lois: Good morning viewers I'm Lois Lane with me today is Julian Black head of Black technology. Julian you are best known for your company and your Xenophobic rhetoric as such an influential individual don't you think it a bad idea to preach such anti alien philosophy? Especially considering that many aliens have helped humanity in the past and those that still do so to this day like Superman.

"If you lived in a world where humanity was hunted for sport or raised like cattle while knowing that this wasn't how things were supposed to be how would it feel? Now imagine that what I just described was on the nicer end of how life in galaxy was after interaction with xenos now tell me how you would perceive them?"

There was an awkward silence that hung in the air as Lois couldn't give a good answer to resolve the situation. I watched her squirm in the hole that she dug for herself trying to humiliate me. Unfortunately couldn't let this be the end as I had plans because ever since I proved that terraforming on different worlds was possible nothing had changed. Due to the gods taking over the asteroid Sword was powerless to do anything against them add to fact that they helped defend earth it became impossible to force them out.

"I could go on in length for my distrust of xenos but that's not what I came to discuss"

Lois: Then what did you want to discuss? (Relieved to change topics)

"The lack of effort from humanity to take the next step"

Lois: Can you please elaborate on what you mean by the next step?

"Space travel and colonization of new worlds"

Lois: Well we have been busy with picking up the pieces after Apokolips' invasion and our new relationship with the Thanagarians.

"The invasion should have been the wakeup call that humanity could no longer continue focusing on it's perpetual state of now and that we should look within for the answer not beg xenos for mercy to uplift us"

Lois: Then you could have done more to help us...

"More? I provided tech to restore dignity to those that lost their limbs, proven terraforming possible, encouraged unity, and even provided the Force! What more must I do for you to finally realize the potential at your finger tips! I can't save those that refuse to save themselves when I have given them the resources to do so! If I must to finally make humanity pull out it's head from the sand than fine!"

I didn't give Lois time to process what I meant as I got up without another word and left which was the point. I needed the world to watch what I was doing I needed them worried and curious about what is to come. The established order was definitely panicking as was getting all sorts of calls from numbers that I didn't recognize. It seemed like the world was watching the interview as I could feel the reaction from the Force. As I pulled up in front of Black technology HQ I saw Fury was already waiting for me looking pissed.

Fury: What the actual fuck was that mother fucker?!
