Flash's words echoed through the meeting room, and the atmosphere shifted palpably. Peter watched as Superman's face contorted with a mix of anger and frustration. The sudden shift in mood did not go unnoticed by anyone in the room, even the groggy and battered Flash noticed Superman's anger.

Batman frowned and ordered, "Explain..."

With visible reluctance, Flash began recounting the ordeal. He had brought the Joker to Green Arrow's secure underground base, cleverly lined with lead to avoid Superman's x-ray vision. His intentions were to keep the Joker isolated. But, after a leaving for a few minutes to grab some food, Flash had returned to find Joker passed out.

But he soon learned that he was only playing dead and unleashed a treacherous green spray hidden within a flower on his chest when Flash got close to check on him. Thankfully, he had managed to dodge the spray, but his respite was short-lived.

An unexpected visitor, Eobard Thawne, or better known as Reverse Flash, had appeared, likely trailing Flash after his quick food run. Reverse Flash's ambush had caught Flash off guard, and he had been swiftly beaten before Thawne took Joker and vanished on a burst of speed.

Flash let out a grunt in frustration. "I tried to follow, but as you can see, he kinda kicked my a*s on his way out."

Superman's frustration grew as Flash continued. It was clear that if Batman hadn't insisted on taking Joker away, this wouldn't have happened.

Flash admitted, "I have no idea what Thawne and Joker are plotting, but it can't be anything good."

Wonder Woman, however, wasted no time in pointing fingers. She glared at both Batman and Flash as she rose from her seat. "This is your fault. If you didn't take him away then this wouldn't have happened. We could have taken him to the Watchtower or even executed him, as we were discussing..."

Before Batman could come to his and Flash's defense, Superman intervened. He acknowledged Wonder Woman's frustration but argued, "I feel the same as Diana, but they couldn't have foreseen Joker's rescue by Thawne. But, this does serve as undeniable proof of the point I've been trying to make... no matter how many times we apprehend dangerous criminals like the Joker, they always find a way to escape. Innocent lives will inevitably be lost because of our reluctance to take drastic action, even as a way to protect the greater good."

The room fell silent, and uneasy contemplation hung heavy in the air. Some heroes nodded in agreement with Superman's viewpoint, while others remained quietly disapproving, none more so than Batman. They knew that it was challenging to argue against the harsh reality presented by Joker's escape. Doing so would only leave them on the losing side of this argument.

Before the tension could escalate further, the doors to the meeting room swung open, and in walked Lois Lane. Her appearance drew the collective attention of everyone present. Although her body seemed to have healed thanks to Peter's assistance, her clothes were disheveled and torn from her encounter with the Joker and Harley.

Instantly, Superman's previously tense demeanor melted away as a warm, loving smile graced his face. Without hesitation, he reached out and enveloped Lois in a protective embrace. She had been through a horrible ordeal and needed comfort.

Flash smirked, blood dripping down his lip. "Awe, I didn't know you cared so much about me..."

Diana sneered in annoyance. "I don't." She refused instantly as she marched out of the room. "I just don't want you interfering in this more than you already have."

"You can pretend all you want, but I know you love me!" Flash yelled at her as she walked off. And once she was gone he ended the call.

As the last ones remaining, Peter and Tony looked between one another. "Should we get back to fixing the ship?" Peter asked.

"Fine..." Tony begrudgingly agreed. "But we can't leave too early. I want to see what they decide to do. This is so much better than reading a comic or watching a movie."

"Sure, besides it shouldn't take too long to fix the ship." Peter shrugged as he waved his hand and opened a portal.

In the shadows of the night, Eobard Thawne brought the Joker to a concealed base hidden deep within a labyrinthine network of underground tunnels beneath Gotham City.

As they traversed the tunnels and entered a dimly lit chamber, the Joker, surprisingly, found himself among some familiar-looking colleagues. The room was filled with all sorts of notorious criminals. From Poison Ivy and Bane to Bizarro and Brainiac, each of them were big names in his line of work.

Joker's arrival did not go unnoticed, and the mix of wicked smiles and annoyed scowls of his fellow villains hinted at the divide in the room. "I still disagree with recruiting this clown. He can't be trusted." Poison Ivy was the first to speak.

"It's already been decided by a majority vote. Just let it go." Sat at the forefront of the group, Lex Luthor waved off Ivy's concerns before turning back to the new arrivals, smiling welcomingly. "Thawne, I see you've found our friend."

Joker frowned for a moment but soon enough his trademark smile returned. "I don't remember us being so friendly, Lexy..."

Lex shrugged as if it didn't matter. "Well, things change. And we've brought you here to offer you a chance to join us," he declared, his voice laced with a chilling undertone.

"What's this? Are you putting together some sort of boy band?" Joker's manic laughter filled the room before his eyes landed on the females in the room. "If this is a boy band, then I refuse to join with these girls around. You know they have cooty's, right? It's a deadly disease... My poor Harley couldn't withstand it for long..."

As the woman in the room rolled their eyes in annoyance, unaware of Harley's death, Lex finally got to the point. "No, not a boy band. I would say that we're more of an antithesis of the Justice League."

Joker raised a brow, finding that to be a very interesting idea. "Tell me more..."
