J'zen thought about it for a moment, while she kept her psychic rapport open with (Kiga) then, since he was allowing her thoughts to enter into his mind then. ~I wouldn't just say anger... fear is very strong here. People fear what they do not understand. Uncertainty is lingering here as well. The scales of justice are being placed into play, people trying to decide on what side to reside on during this tide. There's something evil out there in the crowd and yes, I do believe the spiky haired friend is facing someone that is attempting to toy with the activity here.~ She wasn't just feeling the energy, she could hear the energy in her ears as well as see through her eyes. ~This almost seems like a trap.~

"It does seem to smell like trap" Kiga remarked, making the helmet come back on his head. This only confirmed things weren't going to be pretty. "Ok then, let's just stand by and try to keep these people at bay. And I thought my charm was going to be enough"Woops, that came out on the link, didn't it? He chuckled briefly. Well, he could always keep the idea of using the ring for last. If this was fear or not lantern related, then it was best to not hesitate. But just what is going on anyways?

Domina Mortem The wisp inside her head forced Celes to look up the worked fast the sense of danger lingering into their way and also the crowd, without so much an answer Celes booked it the sound of her heels clicking against the road pushing through Domina's undead and also the humans in the way until the force of Ramses's impact shot forth, sending brawlers everywhere leaving innocents alone from the force applied. "Well that is going to hurt.."Celes was just about to help out the undead until something caught her eye from behind it was Ramses..she didn't even know who he was or mostly herself. She lost a lot of memories over five years worth..even some of the people that caused her great stress, Celes could see Ramses along with a civilian not even realizing it was Domina..or did she know..something was acting up in her head a sense of fear plaguing her entire being even with the wisp trying to get her to move away from him before he saw her

He quickly shot a glance over to the other two heroes present. "Name's Ramses. Justice League B squad. Keep an eye out, not all of these people are as the seem, or alive for that matter." He reached up with his free hand, tapping his nose. "Necromancy is in the air kids, pick up the stench. We gotta get the innocent people out of here before it gets worse."
At that he turned his attention back to Domina, just in time to pull Erghast out of the way from "Harming" the people charging him. He mentally cursed himself, seeing the cellphone in her hand. Time to backpedal, and by backpedal, handle the situation. He blinked once, the glow of his eyes brightening slightly as he barked out a short burst of the abyssal tongue, barely above a whisper, his words lost amongst the commotion. Calling the names of a few Diabolus ex Machina (Demons in the machine) he caused the phones recording the event to shut down, the critters greedily eating the video they were recording, devouring any trace of it in the process, even on the interwebs. This was going to be a damage control nightmare as it was, TMZ didn't need the footage for their late night smear reel.
Slinging Erghast back into his sheath, he started backing towards the other two, intent on forming a wall against the mob to protect the innocent ones, no matter what side of the fence they had chosen. Still cursing himself, he vowed not to forget rule number one again: Dont underestimate your opponent.

"Now isn't that against freedom of speech?" Domina jested as she tossed the now useful phone to the side.She turned around on her heels and very easily disappeared into the mob and out of sight. The heroes were here, and they were facing off against a foe that they simply could not fight, the very people of this planet. They so much as hurt one of them, it was one hit right back against the hero and meta human society as a whole. Of course she imagined they would find a way to deal with this without violence, and she'd be out of there long before they resolve the situation.

Regina had actually been all the way back in Titans Tower when the events all started to unfold. Unable to hear most of what had been going on as she had been busy sewing together a tear in one of her dolls dressed with a pair of headphones on, but as soon as she stepped out of her room and into the tv area, her eyes widened at seeing the riot that was on the news, but even worse, Domina's magic to be seen plain as day for her. "Oh mother."Glancing out one of the windows, she spotted her sister out by the waters with her two new pets, and rolled her eyes. Creating a magical portal leading outside, she reached through and grabbed her sister by the back of her dress. "We have a serious situation on our hands here." Regina said pulling her through and pointing to the tv screen . "Oh my." Alex said looking at what footage there was of the riot before the news reported had been taken down. "We have to go." They both said in unison before forming a portal to arrive on scene. A simple magic portal would suddenly form in front of the three as two very small girls suddenly jumped through with their clashing colored dresses adorned upon their small frames. Regina, the white haired one, extended both of her hands in front of her as she allowed the webs to unwind from her fingers before allowing her magic to flow through them. The string like webs following her hands and fingers movements as she made them lash forward, wrapping around at least a few dozen of the rioters and pulling back as she made them all bunch together in a group the thing strings somehow managed to rope them all in without snapping. Her sister Alex quickly moved to cast a spell around them as Regina withdrew the enchanted string, the spell forming a dome barrier around the few to keep them stuck inside; she would have roped more in, but she had to make sure to separate both sides so they didn't fight within the barriers. "Alex, you need to take care of the undead, you know her magics better than any one of us here, just, make it look like your putting them to sleep." Regina instructed as her sister quickly moved into the crowd to start dealing with the necromancy animating the undead, while she glanced back at the three other heroes. "Hi, we can do our introductions later, right now we have riot to deal with, can any one of you copy what me and my sister just did?" She asked referring to the magical barrier. Of course while she wasn't known to anyone else there, Ramses, probably knew exactly who her and her sister were.

If only it could be that easy, for charm alone to help defeat the fear placed in the people's hearts. J'zen White knew that life t'was never that easy. People choose what they believe in as well as what draws them away. Emerald eyes darted from each individual in the mob crowd that seemed to be growing by the passing minutes. Increasing in numbers. Some of those faces were distorted, looking not normal. That was when she heard the one call out his name, Ramses also state that they were dealing with necromancy.  Of course! She knew this power was familiar! She had not seen, nor heard from Domina in over a year! Why? Why was she provoking this? What was her reason? Trying to form another army of undead? No, impossible. Her army was already there. Directing her line of sight towards the hooded and masked girl who was confronted then by Ramses. Eyes tracing the outline of the body from beneath the clothes, feeling Domina's power radiating off her while being concealed under common man clothing. J'zen's brow furrowed intensely as she stared a hole into her. "Now isn't that against freedom of speech?"J'zen's powers heightened as she strengthened her telepathy reaching out across the darkness with her power of light to reach Domina's mind. ~Domina!~ Calling out her name, hoping that she would hear her. Only if Domina allowed the contact, would the two of them be connected telepathically. As she increased her telepathy, her body began sparkling in an iridescent layer of gold. Sparkles of energy radiating off of her body that appeared to be like glitter raining down all around those surrounding her. At this rate, she could hear the thoughts of those surrounding them in the mob. Everyone in general she could hear their thoughts. The words jumbling together in high pitched whispers: *Monster! Abomination! Freak! Go Away! Leave us be! Kill them all! Be rid of the freaks of nature! Destroy! Fear! I don't want the monsters to hurt us! Why can't they just leave us alone!? Why doesn't our government do something about these people! No! Not people they're FREAKS! Don't fear them! They're our saviors! They will protect us! Fear not! Support the capes!* This wasn't unusual, nor was this the first time she had heard those hateful words pour out of the mouths of babes. She had witnessed first hand what power was held behind those words filled with uncertainty. She lived it! Only a few within the Justice League knew her history in dealings with situations such as this. This was one of the things she was trying to prevent from happening again. If they weren't careful, there would be a relapse in time and history would repeat itself once more! Marshal Twins "Hi, we can do our introductions later, right now we have riot to deal with, can any one of you copy what me and my sister just did?" She asked referring to the magical barrier. J'zen turned her attention towards the one of the twin girls speaking towards their gathering. Asking if the powers could be mimicked to help control the rioting crowd. Pausing slightly as she looked over at the girl directing conversation at them. "How about something else? So it does not appear we are forcing them?" Projecting her thoughts towards (Regina), if she was allowed entry into her thoughts. She would not force the issue, but she was persistent. ~How about I place everyone here that I can reach... in a sleeping state of mind. No more hate, no more anger, just peace, sleeping soundly.~ Why the thought did not dawn on her before was beyond her knowledge. Here they had all arrived on the offensive, defending their namesake. When all they had to do was not place an ounce of harm upon anyone other than help ease their emotions by making everyone feel at peace by a simple suggestion of sleep. ~While your sister helps fend off those undead? In the mean time perhaps you can use your powers with Ramses and the help of others present to help fend off those. Who do wish to cause harm?~She believed in her ability to help soothe the minds of those who were raging, by using the power of persuasion to bring the suggestion of sleep to the minds of the people present. Figuring this action would help for the first round, plus it would show that they aren't here to cause harm but to protect the innocent! J'zen wasn't trying to take over and lead this small band of merry men. If her plan didn't work, there was always a plan B to fall back upon.

Regina paused at the idea of J'zens suggestion, and couldn't see why it wouldn't work. They could definitely cast something to put them all to sleep since none of them had any actual defenses to magic or their powers, but it was a large crowd of people. "Yeah, that could certainly work, and if you needed a boost I could certainly give you one to make it reach out further. If it doesn't work though, we can fall back to my plan."

Marshal Twins "Yeah, that could certainly work, and if you needed a boost I could certainly give you one to make it reach out further. If it doesn't work though, we can fall back to my plan." Nodding her head towards (Regina) in response to ideas. J'zen's hands began to light up in an golden aura, circulating her hands. Knowing that the on lookers would undoubtedly be expecting some form of an attack or something to come flying forth from J'zen. Nothing came, almost seemed as if she was purposely displaying her powers that might of frightened some while others felt as if they were being lured in. Their curious minds allowing them to stare in awe. Sensing she had the majority of those people within the mob's attention, she allowed her power to spread out along the ground. The least obvious place that people would normally look at. Focusing on reaching out to each and every person in the mob, that was alive, breathing and well to be touched by her powers along the ground. Each person that was touched, would feel her telepathic power of persuasion swaying them to believe they were sleepy. That they needed rest, right then. So subtle was the suggestion, she even added a bit of urgency in the message for everyone to get down onto the ground and take a nap. So sleepy, were they that they needed rest to re-energize before they would continue. Purposely doing so, to help weed out those whom were causing an issue in the crowd of people.

The crowd it a fever pitch, and started attacking the police officials, and each other, including the heroes and villains with anything they could find. Tree Branches, trash cans, tire irons, pieces of card board, and even televisions. This mob went as far as lighting fires, and flipped over police vehicles.    Then suddenly the crowd dropped to their feet and went asleep. However, during these attacks the National Guard, and SWAT Teams with Tanks, Armored Vehicles, and Helicopters began to arrive on scene, and were perplexed by the current situation. After attending to the now asleep crowd, they focused their attention on the heroes and villains in the crowd and a voice on a PA came on from one of the Blackhawk Helicopters that now hovered in the general area. "This is the United States National Guard. Cease and Desist your current actions. You are all wanted for questioning in regards of the locations of the renegades known as Batman and the Green Mist!"

LexCorp CEO Ah hell this wasn't even remotely good for Celes her face showed it too in pure fright but she had to regain her cool her facial features reverting back to the cold emotionless one she had before, first that demon looking guy with that sword appeared then those other two heroes now it was the National Guard. What made them think she knew anything she was on her way to do sightseeing, being used by Domina's wisp and being intimidated by a tank was not it. She was afraid to transform but now that wasn't a choice anymore the back of her outfit would be ripped apart by her wings and tail if she turned now..and sure as hell not want to do it in front of Ramses..she can just sense she knew the guy but couldn't even remember what year it is now instead of five years ago. "Like hell if I know anything!!.."

Kiga was already having a hard time in deciding what his next action would be when out of the blue the sounds of tanks and helicopters caught his attention. Where in the name of Queen Kanoko were these guys hiding? The PA announcement was even more confusing. Quote: "This is the United States National Guard. Cease and Desist your current actions. You are all wanted for questioning in regards of the locations of the renegades known as Batman and the Green Mist!" He looked up at the flying machine. Kiga had heard about the Dark Knight for sure but this Green Mist was a mystery indeed. It sounded familiar for some reason. "Is this really the way to come asking for information? How rude"The Hero of the Stars shook his torso, enough to feel the weight of the hammer attached on his back. It would be of use any time now, he felt it. But was it another ploy from who ever is behind this? On that thought, where was Furious Styles right now?

"It's time" Superman has been away for a couple months, not many people know why and not many people have found the answer but the thing is that he wanted to keep it a secret, after the whole fight with Darkseid and the destruction upon destruction that occurred, he couldn't handle how many lives were lost in that war. Many good friends, many old enemies. He spent his time letting all his pain and worries out above the stars, only to come back home as a new hero with a stabled mind. Superman missed his home and he was back for good. As he flew above the warm vibrant ocean heading back to Metropolis he tested out his old com-link, "My fellow friends, this is Superman. I have returned. My apologies for the sudden disappearance, but maybe we can settle down and answers some of the questions you may have whenever the time is right and the opportunity shows up."

(I've mostly been waiting for Ramses to reappear, but I think we've stalled long enough.) Things certainly did seem to be calming down now, well sort of, at least half of the crowd was starting to be put to sleep by J'zen, and even her own daughters appeared to help contain the situation. She had to admit, she hadn't anticipated them coming join the fun. Having ignored J'zens attempt at reaching her, she shifted her attention to the new arriving authorities, who quite frankly were rolling in the big guns. Grabbing a molotov cocktail from one of the rioters, she made a very clean through up at the blackhawk helicopters, smashing it right into the front making the flames erupt along the windows and potentially getting inside. Focusing on the new toys that rolled in, she soon cast a thick miasma around the tanks, that easily crept inside and ended up turning anyone inside of them undead within a matter of seconds, since they'd have no way of protecting themselves from her magic. As fast as it came it disappeared, but to everyones horror the tanks soon brought their attention to the sleeping crowd, and the heroes. Very careslessly starting to roll in further, running over countless of the helpless civilians, and starting to open fire upon the heroes where they stood

(( I was honestly worried this had died )) "GOD DAMMIT!!!" He roared, pulling out the hammer from behind his back. The Hero of the Stars gave a long leap and landed just in front of one of the tanks, slamming the blunt end of his hammer to the front of the vehicle, hoping to make it fly away or stop it on it's tracks. It didn't seem too strong anyways, he thought, he could take it any time. "That's not how these things are mean to happen!"The option of becoming a Blue Lantern went back into his head but given the fact that they were being attacked, becoming unable to do so would prove rather useless. Unless they would need a gigantic shield - which he recalled could be done thanks to the ring - he would gladly relinquish his armor's powers and done the ring. For the moment, he'll use blunt strength and speed sponsored by his Light armor.
