Explosions were heard inside the Penitentiary followed up by guards being gunned down.

"Andre is it right?"

"Y...yes?"

The man in the purple suit walked up to the cell, "That's good. Be a bit embarrassing if I'd massacred all the way to the wrong cell. I hear you have something for me?"

While chaos was being raised in the Penitentiary the Justice League was spending time with their heros, the Justice Society up in the watchtower, ignorant of what was to come.

Batman and Superman looked down at Earth. "The world looks smaller from here. It's dangerous being so distant. I don't think people should see it this way."

"I couldn't disagree more, Bruce. From here, you can't see any division. There are no borders, no beliefs keeping people apart. No "US" and "THEM". I wish everyone could see this. See it as one planet. A world we have to protect. Now... and in the future. I've been thinking about what comes next. About legacy. You have a legacy already. You mentored Barbera and Cass, and you raised Dick and Tim, and Damien"-"The jury's still out on Damien."

Superman looked at Batman, "No isn't. He's a good kid. He's just angry."

Batman had his arms crossed. "So was Jason."

"Damien isn't Jason."

Batman pointed at himself with a thumb, "I started this... I became Batman for my parents. But at some stage, I evolved. I started fighting for my children. So they have something better. So they can be better."

Superman lifted a finger, "That's what I want, too."

"You have a legacy, Clark. But I don't think that's what you're really talking about here. Have you and Lois started talking?"

Superman put both hands up, "About kids?" He looked down. "I.... It's difficult. I think we both want the same thing, but there's a fear there."

"Of course. But there are people you can talk to, Clark."

The Old Green Lantern walked in with open arms along with Amazing Man.

The Lantern smirked, "The World's Finest."

Amazing man asked, "What are you boys talking about?"

Superman turned around, "We're talking about legacies, Will."

Batman pointed at Superman, "Superman of all people doesn't think he has one."

Amazing man pointed at Superman with raised eyebrows. "Really? X ray vision, telescopic vision, and microscopic vision, and he still can't see it?"

Batman couldn't help but smirk. "Apparently not."

Superman shrugged his shoulders, "See what?"

Green Lantern stated, "You may not have noticed, but you're Superman. You've inspired your entire generation and the next."

Amazing Man put an arm on Superman's shoulder. "Your entire legacy is alive in every hero on the planet, son..... but I understand wanting to know a piece of you will go on after you're gone."

While this was happening Itachi and Co reached the Penitentiary, but they were a few minutes late. After walking through the hole in the wall they walked past all the dead bodies and reached the only open cell in the whole wing.

Nightwing put a hand on his chin. "Seems like he only came here for one guy."

Batman walked in with a scowl harder than usual. Nightwing waved a hand, "You couldn't have done anything more, Batman. We followed the plan precisely."
