What if power wasn't taken—what if it was shown to us, as a warning?
Scene 1: The Core—Mother Box Chamber, Watchtower Sublevel
A dark chamber hums with unstable energy. Only Victor Stone (Cyborg) stands before the sealed Mother Box Prime—its surface glowing with pulsing omega runes.
Cyborg (muttering):
"Just a diagnostics scan… nothing more."
But as his systems interface…
[CONNECTION ESTABLISHED]
[INITIATING TEMPORAL PSYCHOMETRIC SCAN]
[Warning: Visionary Cascade Detected… Downloading 1.6 TB of compressed apocalypse simulation…]
His eyes glow.
And the world vanishes.
Scene 2: The Dream
Everything we saw—Elias gaining 100% Darkseid power, becoming Alpha, rewriting reality, cracking gods, humbling the League, mocking, controlling, ascending—it wasn't real.
It was a vision. A simulation.
The Mother Box showed Victor what would happen if Elias's evolution path continued unchecked.
Humanity, chained under Alpha Protocol.
The League reformed in guilt.
And Elias—no longer Elias.
Just… Order given form.
Scene 3: Back in Reality – Cyborg Awakens
Victor falls to the floor, systems short-circuiting, gasping.
Steam pours off his back.
Cyborg:
"…God. No.
He's not ready.
We're not ready.
None of us are."
The simulation was real enough to burn his neural core.
He clutches his arm, pulling cables from the console.
His HUD flashes:

[Recommendation: Classify as DOOM-TIER EVENT]
Scene 4: The Secret Meeting
He calls a secure lockdown with the founding members only:
• Batman
• Superman
• Wonder Woman
• Zatanna
The doors hiss shut.
Victor's face is pale. Haunted.
Cyborg (quietly):
"It wasn't real… but it could be."
He lays it all out:
• Elias becoming a Darkseid hybrid.
• The Watchtower falling under his control.
• The world confessing under Omega pressure.
• The Council of Gods going silent.
• The erasure of freedom in the name of order.
Scene 5: The Reaction
Batman:
"Was it manipulation? Did the Mother Box want you to see it?"
Zatanna:
"Or was it a warning—a test?"
Wonder Woman:
"It could be… fate's vision. Or free will's shadow."
Superman (serious):
"Does Elias know?"
Cyborg (deadpan):
"No.
And we can't tell him. Not yet.
If we do, it may accelerate the outcome."
Scene 6: The Decision
They agree to:
• Hide the vision from Elias.
• Monitor his power surges quietly.
• Implement psychic dampeners and feedback triggers.
• Embed invisible fail-safes in case the Omega path reactivates.
But above all: do not push him.
Batman (calmly):
"We treat him as a brother.
Not a threat.
Until the day… he proves otherwise."
Final Scene: Elias Outside the Door
Elias stands outside the sealed chamber… smiling faintly.
His system flickers.
[UNAUTHORIZED QUANTUM SPIKE DETECTED: VISION LOG ACCESSED]
[Status: Simulated Path 42 Identified – "Omega Dream"]
[Elias Internal Response Logged: "So... that's how far I could fall."]
Elias turns. Hands in pockets.
He walks away silently.
