Not to be left behind the last villain to emerge from the doorway was heard before being seen HA HA HA HA HA The Clown Prince of Crime’s laughter echoed down the hallway As the Joker stepped from the portal the infamous Injustice Gang was finally complete Drawing their guns the bank security guards immediately opened fire on the criminals PING PING PING The bullets simply bounced off a violet force field created by Star Sapphire Using the stone on her mask Star Sapphire fired an energy beam across the room and into a wall The shock waves from the blast knocked the guards unconscious She then destroyed the security cameras with a wide pulse beam The Joker danced with glee You sure know how to show a guy a good time he cackled Tee hee hee Quiet clown barked Lex The manager was the only bank employee still standing He quivered in fear as Lex approached him Star Sapphire hovered alongside the billionaire My crystal stone is powered by love in this particular case my love of money said Star Sapphire with a wicked smile Please don’t hurt me pleaded the bank manager Then open the vault demanded Lex My patience is wearing thin I can’t replied the manager It runs on a timer Once in lockdown it can’t be opened until the next business day Allow me said the Ultra-Humanite stepping up to the vault and studying it carefully He pressed his gorilla hand against the cold metal He’s right I’ve studied its inner workings The vault can’t be opened once the lockdown process has begun Let me at it said Cheetah Licking the back of her hand Cheetah brushed everyone aside to approach the vault door MRROWLLL She growled as she raked her razor sharp claws across the metal surface Sparks flew but her claws didn’t make a scratch It can’t be opened that way either said the Ultra-Humanite The door is made of 90 tons of compressed steel Cheetah can’t help you Lex
But he can said Lex pointing at the hulking zombie Grundy this one is yours Solomon Grundy rubbed his chin with a confused look Trying to decide what to do he placed his thick hands on the vault’s wheel But instead of spinning it he pulled The metal door peeled right off its hinges opening like an oversized sardine can Grundy open door mumbled Solomon Grundy with pride The bank manager’s shoulders slumped with despair The Joker slid up next to him and playfully pinched his cheek Thank you for playing the wheel of misfortune the Joker said offering his hand Put er there kiddo ZZZZRRRRKKK The instant the Joker shook the manager’s hand a trick buzzer shocked him The bank manager slumped unconscious to the ground Inside the massive vault stacks of gold bars stood as high as the ceiling The intense glow from the valuable metal made the Injustice Gang squint We’re gonna be rich said Star Sapphire Grab all of it said Lex leading the gang into the vault Don’t leave any behind How we take gold without sacks asked Grundy rubbing his chin I was able to transport you all in said The Shade waving his cane to open a smaller portal in midair He then picked up a bar of gold and dropped it into the black hole It instantly disappeared I’ll have no problem transporting all of this out That’s quite the disappearing act said the Joker shuffling a deck of cards Do you know card tricks too Enough yelled Lex Let’s clean out the vault before anyone else shows up Too late Lex said a stern voice behind them The Injustice Gang spun around Superman stood in the vault’s doorway blocking their exit Behind his billowing cape the rest of the Justice League approached Wonder Woman held her golden lasso at the ready as The Flash and the Green Lantern flanked her on either side Behind them strode Aquaman with his sharp trident and Cyborg with his cybernetic arm constructed into a pulse cannon Where’s the bat freak asked the Joker with a giggle Behind you a voice growled
SMACK Batman punched the Joker sending him crashing into a stack of gold bars CLANG Racing toward one another the two teams collided in battle You belong in the ocean shouted the Ultra-Humanite leaping at Aquaman And you belong in jail countered the King of Atlantis He used his trident and the gorilla’s forward motion to knock the Ultra-Humanite out of his way Nearby Cheetah tackled Wonder Woman slashing at her with razor-sharp claws The Amazon warrior deflected the blows with her bracelets then kicked the feline villain away Cheetah somersaulted backward landed on all fours and pounced forward again All that glitters is gold said Cheetah They have it And we want it
