Justice League: War Page #3

- We're maxed at power ceiling.

- Cycle the pulses.

Dr. Stone, your son is here.

- I don't have time right now. Do it again.

- Make time.

Victor, I'm in the middle

of some very important work.

- You mean, more important than me.

- That's not what I said.

There were scouts there today, Dad.

They offered me a full ride, all of them.

I told you I'll pay for college. You don't need

to be sniffing after a scholarship.

That's not the point.

They think I can hold my own

with the best of the best.

WhY don't you?

Open your eyes, son.

Look at the world we live in today.

We are witnessing the birth

of a new race of super-humans.

Beings who can fly,

tear through buildings and outrun racecars.

They will make what you can do obsolete.

In that world, throwing a football is a joke.

You're never gonna come

to one of my games, are you?

No.

- Dr. Stone, something's happening.

- We can talk about this later.

So why are you two here?

Metropolis is my turf.

There have been reports

of mysterious kidnappings across the country.

We had them here too.

Figured that was life in the big city.

Think the disappearances

and these things are connected?

They're connected.

- So these monsters, they're--

- They're soldiers. Expendable soldiers at that.

Planting these devices at all costs,

that's military tactics.

We might be staring down the barrel

of a full-scale invasion.

You're paranoid.

Let's just crack it open and see what happens.

- Hey.

- Without any idea what's inside...

...that's idiotic.

Heh, I'll show you idiotic.

- Aah, I didn't touch it.

- It's activated itself.

- t's transmitting.

- Silas, look at these readings.

I am not letting you walk away

from me again, Dad.

We're having this out.

- Can we trace the power source?

- I'm trying to lock in on the signal now.

This thing is more important to you

than your own son.

Victor, stop!

It's gonna blow.

No!

You're welcome.

Still think I'm paranoid?

Ah, maybe a little less now.

We need to get out of here now.

- Which way?

- We have to get him into the Red Room.

- Sarah, unh.

- Aah!

I'm not leaving you, Victor.

Don't you dare leave me.

I don't believe it.

His vitals are there, Silas. He's alive.

- Dad.

- Yes, Victor. I'm here.

- It hurts so bad.

-it's going to hurt-.

It's not gonna be easy, but...

Whatever that energy is,

it's eating him from the inside out.

He's going into cardiac arrest.

It's racing up his spinal cord.

Then we can't wait.

- But, Silas, the risk.

- What choice do I have, Morrow?

This room contains technology recovered

from across the globe.

I've studied and logged nearly everything.

I've taken apart and rebuilt most of it.
