Superman\Batman: Apocalypse Page #6

but the nightmare's over.

You're safe now.

You're right, she is safe now.

Let's go home.

That's the problem, cousin.

I'm not sure where home is.

You're just confused.

I'll be back. You and I have unfinished...

You didn't listen to what Darkseid said.

- Kara.

- You never listen to anyone.

He said I was free to go, if I wanted to.

And I don't want to.

Good. Now kill him.

I won't fight you.

Good. Makes my job that much easier.

What's wrong with the beast?

Must be something he ate.

Take off your armour.

Now.

Let me kill her, Granny.

No, it's me you want. Let her go.

I like to have my cake and eat it too.

Make her bleed.

You were saying, Granny?

Go ahead. Kill me.

- That's what you're programmed to do.

- Barda.

What's the matter, Barda?

You know you want to.

All these years of pretending to be human

have made you soft.

Kara, he's controlling you. Fight it.

Do not hesitate. Kill him.

As you wish, Lord Darkseid.

With your death, cousin,

my life begins here on Apocalypse.

Not if I can help it.

Darkseid said

you wouldn't be up to the challenge.

That your feelings, your beliefs,

would cloud your judgement.

He's right, you know.

Earth does need a new hero.

Not his version.

You think killing me will set you free?

He's just using you.

Liar. He cares about me.

No, Kara, I care about you.

But you won't listen.

His control over you is total.

I see that now,

which is why I have to do this.

It's over, Darkseid.

Even you must realize the folly

of being a king without a kingdom.

I doubt the battle between the Kryptonians

will bring about such destruction.

I'm not talking about them.

Your armoury, the hell-spores,

they've been activated.

Impossible. The arming code is encrypted.

I broke the code

and reprogrammed them.

You're bluffing.

Omega lambda 7- X-L-9.

That sound like a bluff to you?

One hell-spore can turn an entire planet

into a fire pit.

What will happen to Apocalypse

when 500 go off simultaneously?

You dare? You dare?

I could destroy you with a single blast

of my omega beams.

You could.

But that wouldn't stop the hell-spores,

would it?

You will disarm them.

Here's the deal.

Release the girl and give your word

you'll leave her alone.

Forswear Kara Zor-El.

Say it.

Well played.

Had the Kryptonian or the Amazon

taken that gamble, they would have lost.

They do not have the strength

of character...

...to destroy an entire planet

to achieve success.

But you, a human?

You kill your own kind to win battles.

An admirable quality.

Take the girl.

I will make no move against her.

I'll hold you to that.

We'll all hold you to it.

Mercy, Barda? Disappointing.

Disarm the hell-spores.
