《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension

[Watchtower]
On a giant screen, the pictures of a black-haired young man and a silver-haired woman with bunny ears were being displayed. "Hawkgirl! I want you to locate these two people" a very serious looking man wearing a bat suit said in a grim tone. The man himself wasn't present here… he was using the DC version of FaceTime.
"What do these people do?? Are they new criminals from Gotham?" Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman asked while she was leaning back in her chair.
"No. The two of them came out of a portal on a busy sidewalk of Keystone city… this happened only half a minute ago but the problem is that I can't find anything on them" Batman said in his usual grumpy manner.
"I am already on it" Hawkgirl said and started to look for the people on the screen using their advanced satellite network… but they didn't have to look for long as the said person hacked into their system and came online.
Batman immediately arrived on the Watchtower using Boom-Tube. The man in the video, the same man they were looking for, cleared his throat. "Hello… My name is Leviathan… none of you might know me but after today you will… In my hands I have a warden of a certain prison… warden tell everyone your name" the man now recognized as Leviathan said. Leviathan was holding a man's throat in his hand.
"That's Gregory Wolfe… he is the warden of Iron Heights Penitentiary" Batman said pointing towards the man who was currently choking.
The other members of the League also started to arrive… All of them had seen the videos on screens and they already knew that it was the work of a villain and it wasn't some small-time villain. "Go to hell, you bastard…!!" Gregory Wolfe spat out.
"He shouldn't have done that" Green Arrow, who had recently arrived, spoke out. Some of the league members agreed when they saw the indifferent look in Leviathan and Rumi's eyes. They have seen it multiple times.
"Sorry that's not possible… let's see Gregory Wolfe…" the man known as Leviathan read the name tag. "Since you decided not to cooperate with me… you can die" Leviathan said with a shrug and snapped the man's neck. The whole group was horrified but their faces hardened… a cold glint appeared in their eyes.
"I am currently in front of this model prison named… Iron Heights Penitentiary along with this beautiful girl named Rumi" Leviathan said with a bright smile on his face… it seemed that he wasn't even bothered in the slightest with the man he had killed just now.
"Tell the Titans stay put right now… but tell them to be prepared. We don't know how strong these people are" Batman said and everyone nodded their heads. The man was treating this like a joke… he had just asked the woman to say hi to the camera. The whole team gritted their teeth seeing the display.

"Now… moving back to serious topics… I am going to destroy this beautiful prison in 2 hours… Is there anyone brave enough on this planet to come and stop me??" it was clear that this Leviathan guy was challenging them. It was a declaration of war.
"Let's go. We have to stop another madman!" Superman said and everyone inside the room agreed with him. They set the destination as Iron Heights Penitentiary and they finally activated the Boom-Tubes and left…
[With Rumi & Reo]
"That soda was pretty nice…" Reo said with a thoughtful look on his face and Rumi also nodded her head in agreement. "And they are here…" Reo said while looking towards the sky and several beams appeared in front of them and a group of eccentrically dressed people came out of the beams.
"The fuck??!! You wear underwear on the outside?? I thought that it was only in the comics!!" Rumi yelled out with a bewildered and gobsmacked look on her face. All of the League members found the situation to be really awkward.
"Your choice of fashion aside…" Rumi began to say but she was cut off by a small bat-shaped blade that hit her head. The blade simply dropped on the ground and Rumi deadpanned. "That was rude…" Rumi said dryly and the whole scene was getting awkward with each passing second.
The whole League's eyes were on Rumi except for one member… The member was intently watching Reo who looked really amused due to the scene in front of him. "What kind of God are you??" the woman yelled out with fear in her eyes. This gathered the attention of the League members and Reo.
Reo was immediately intrigued that this woman in front of him was able to sense his Divinity… it wasn't surprising though, after all, that woman has been around Goddess since she was born and she knew a lot about Divinities… the woman was none other than Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman.
"There are no Gods…" Barry Allen aka Flash yelled out and rolled his eyes in irritation. Even though Barry commented something like that, Reo wasn't bothered… and the other members of the League were also vigilant towards Reo.
Reo felt a presence around his mind and his eyes narrowed on J'onn J'onzz aka Martian Manhunter… Reo didn't show any reaction outwardly but he used his Reality Powers… J'onn J'onzz looked at himself and his eyes grew wide in fear. His eyes immediately found Reo who looked completely disinterested.
"What did you do to me??!!" J'onn J'onzz yelled out hysterically. In an instant, the League's attention went towards the Martian Manhunter.
"I didn't like your habit of snooping around people's minds so I took away your power…" Reo said with a bored look on his face and the whole League seemed to be uncomfortable after hearing that… this man had the ability to take away powers?? "I am Bored… Rumi, take care of them…" Reo said dismissively and disappeared.

A feral grin appeared on Rumi's face… "We have wasted more than enough time… let's fight…" Rumi took one step and the ground exploded… "Once again that was rude…" Rumi said and activated her Armament Haki and saw two beams coming towards her.
Rumi simply tilted her head and dodged the beam, but that wasn't all. A red blur appeared beside Rumi and punched him in the face… Rumi took a step back but nothing more than that… Rumi titled her whole body backwards and dodged Superman's punch. Rumi twisted around her body and kicked Superman on his chest. It was clear to Rumi that the man in the underwear had no idea how to fight, so she was going to take advantage of it.
Rumi lunged towards Superman who was blown away by the kick and Rumi had to stop when someone else decided to jump in between them… it was a muscular man dressed in a skin tight suit with a logo of a lightning bolt on his chest… This man was also wearing underwear on the outside. The man was none other than Shazam.
This man was also a novice… Rumi simply grabbed the man's arm and twisted it with all her might. "Arghhh…!!" the man yelled out and Rumi headbutted him. Shazam felt his whole world was turning… Rumi leaned back when the red blur was approaching her once again and she Flash Stepped… before Flash could even understand what was happening he felt a hand tightening around his throat followed by a loud snap.
"Uuggghhh!!" Barry Allen screamed in pain. He felt his legs were on fire… Rumi had snapped his knees… both of his knees were bending backwards now. Barry passed out due to the pain. Rumi was about to snap his neck too but a massive force slammed into her gut and she was flung into the prison destroying the walls… Superman grabbed Barry and laid him down on the ground. Superman looked at Barry's legs and clenched his fists.
"How is he??" Green Lantern asked… The fight was so fast-paced that he wasn't able to react. But before Superman could answer, a fist smashed into Superman's face… the ground beneath Superman cracked due to the force and Barry was also near Superman so he was also injured.
"Hahaha…!! This is so much fun!" Rumi exclaimed loudly and punched Superman once again but she was blasted away when a high-speed projectile crashed into her chest. "Diana, snap out of it. Oliver, take Barry away from here… I have already called for help" all of a sudden Batman's voice was heard. This finally snapped Diana out of her shock. She was still in shock from what she had seen in Leviathan.
Batman arrived in his strongest suit… the Son Box Suit… the suit was so overpowered that it wasn't even funny. The suit's most absurd power was that it could alter minds up to cellular level… but for whatever reason, that power was no longer accessible… it was like that the power didn't even exist. Batman was pretty sure that Leviathan was responsible for this because Leviathan had shown his powers to erase things…
Reo knew about the powers of this suit but he wasn't sure if its ultimate mind-altering powers would affect Rumi or not but to be on the safe side he completely erased the power from the suit. There was another problem Batman was facing… This suit would supply Batman with whatever he needed to stop someone but the suit was still unable to give him anything to stop this woman.
This shouldn't be possible… It meant that this woman was simply unbeatable and that was something he was not ready to accept. Rumi finally walked out of the crater wrapped in electro webs… those things didn't affect her much and with a small force she snapped out of those wires. "That's a nice suit but borrowed power is meaningless…" Rumi said and lunged towards the suit and a huge sonic wave made her stop.
Rumi looked around and saw that a lot of self-righteous fools had arrived… a sinister grin appeared on Rumi's face and her Armament Haki covered body started to shine with a silver sheen.
Reo was watching the fight with an amused look on his face when he felt a small pressure… 'Someone is trying to flex in front of me?' Reo wondered but he knew who it was but he honestly didn't expect it to come… "Why have you invaded my Universe?" a voice was heard and a grin appeared on Reo's face.
Reo turned around and his eyes were shining due to mirth. "Yours?? So, tell me what are you going to do about it??" Reo asked in a mocking tone…
