"Now," Mr. Graves starts, "I need to explain something to you all. Be aware that everything you are about to see and hear is both strictly confidential and highly classified.

"As you all know, nearly one year ago the Earth was being attacked by the Reach. They were defeated and Wally 'died'."

W.I.L.S.O.N. aids his creator by showing relevant images.

"Well, nearly a week before that, I was called to a meeting. A meeting of my alternates from parallel universes. We call ourselves The Board. Our task is to monitor events that threaten entire universes and all of reality. At that meeting I learned that a speedster could return from the Speed Force. I later went back and got access to some technology that was able to tap into it. That tech no longer exists, fortunately, because I destroyed it during and after the experiments.

"However, at this initial meeting, I was given two different pieces of technology.

"One, you all just witnessed. That was a message sent by what is called an Omniversal Beacon. It is used by the navicomputer on my most advanced ship, the GPSS Galactus to instantly teleport it to a predetermined point on the space-time continuum, where both I and my alternates will annihilate the threat with a high powered superweapon.

"That was the second piece of tech. It is called the Infinity Canon. Its abilities are similar to those of the Flash's Infinite Mass Punch. The results are quite devastating."

The screens show computer simulations of said results. Planet's explode. Or burn. And stars implode. Entire solar systems and systems of solar systems are annihilated in mere hours.

"Why would anyone create such a weapon?" Aqualad asks frightenedly.

"There are threats," Director Disakvo responds. He gestures toward the stars. "There are threats....out there and in the spaces between realities that are able to withstand everything at this planet's disposal.

"Bullets. TNT. C4. Artillery and tank shells! Missiles! Even nukes! And punches from Superman!! They can take them all!! Without sustaining a single blemish or scratch or dent in their armor.

"Mr. Graves and I are obligated both financially and by the continuity of our species to protect not just this planet, but thousands more that request our services."

"With that being said," Mr. Graves states as he retakes control of the situation. "I would like to ensure you that this weapon has never been used. Like this nation's nuclear arsenal, it was commissioned and built, but it is only a weapon of last resort. After all other cards have been drawn and placed down."

There is a moment of silence. Aqualad  nods for Mr. Graves to continue.

"Now this threat that we are up against is an old one. He hails from an area of space that is known as The Forth World. His acts are devastation, tragedy, and travesty displayed as an art form. His name....unspeakable. His enemies are numerous and include all living beings in the entire universe. All that encountered Him... are extinct. All that survive His wrath, he executes personally.

"His name....

"...is Darkseid.

"And we are his next target."

There is a brief silence.

Then Aqualad confidently states:

"How can we be of assistance?"

Mr. Graves just smirks.
