When Sam entered his apartment, Nightwing was waiting for him. He adopted big brother had wanted to join the League but Batman always forbid him from doing so. The young Saiyan looked out to see Nightwing's glider.
"So, did he say I can come?" Nightwing asked.
"Sorry Dick, he didn't. But he did say he'll think about it this time." Sam said as he took off his shirt and got out his normal clothes, then he checked his messages, "Clark and Lois need me to come along with them tonight to a smuggling ring at the heart of the city."
"Go. Contact me if Batman changes his mind." Nightwing said as he jumped out the window, and onto his glider.
"God father, let him come along this time." Sam said as he looked back to see Batman standing in the shadows, "He wants to work with us again you know! Please!"
"Okay...but I better not regret this later." Batman said as he walked out the door, and slammed it shut.
"Thank you..." Sam said as he looked out the window.
On Apocolips, the Namekians were put to work in the firepits of Armeghetto. The elders were frequently brought before Darkseid. But, they weren't telling him anything about their treasure.
"Now, tell me how to activate the Dragonballs." Darkseid ordered one of the Nameks, and his eyes glowed.
"Never, you'll never get the password Darkseid." a elder namek replied as one of his sons came forward, "What are you going to do?"
"This." Darkseid replied as he vaporized the young Namekian with his Omega beams.
"NO!" the elder screamed as he watched his son disappear.
"That'll happen to you, if you don't cooperate." Darkseid said, "Take them back to their cells. Desaad, come here."
"Yes my lord, what do you want?" Desaad grovelled as he bowed to the evil god.
"Make those old ones talk, by any means necessary." Darksied ordered, "And, bring me another dose of the Changling serum."
"Yes my lord." Desaad said as he walked away, back into the shadows.
Steppenwolf and Kalibak walked into the room with their legions of parademons, and they all saluted their lord and master. Desaad returned a minute later with the serum, and administered it into Darkseid.
"How goes the interrogation of the Namek slugs father?" Kalibak asked.
"Not good, no matter what I do to them, they won't talk. And, if I kill their leader, the Dragonballs will become inusable." Darkseid replied to his son.
"The invasion forces for New Genesis are ready, nephew. All we wait is for your command." Steppenwolf reported.
"Good. Wait for my order." Darkseid ordered as he sulked back into his throne.
Back on Earth, Sam was tagging along with Clark and Lois in a back alley. They had went undercover to expose a group of crooked cops who were smuggling cocaine and crack into Metropolis. The young Saiyan was a little cautious than normal.
"Ease us kid, you don't have to be so worried." Lois whispered to him.
"Sorry...i have a bad feeling about this though. Like we're being watched." Sam replied as he looked around.
"We're always being watched, just keep you're cool, and we'll be fine." Clark whispered reasurably, "Here comes their leader."
"Parisite, we have the money that you wanted." a crooked cop said to him as he handed the villian a bag of money.
"Good good. Huh? Who are those three?" Parisite asked.
"Just a bunch of hobos sir. We'll have more money tomorrow." another cop said as they walked off to their car and drove off.
"Don't look like hobos to me." Parisite said as he walked up to them.
"Clark, Lois, run, I'll hold him off. Just get Superman here to back me up." Sam said as he threw off his disquise.
"So, your this Goku guy. I here your as powerful as Superman, so let's see." Parisite said as Lois and Clark ran off.
"You mean he's Goku?" Lois asked surprisingly as Clark dragged her away.
