Happy 75th human rights day!!! 75 years ago today, the universal declaration of human rights was signed. Let's keep working towards its being followed everywhere. Teamwork makes the dream work!
If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.
The founding of the Justice League- part 1
It's an alien invasion, he'd thought. Just your run- of-the-mill alien invasion, he'd thought. He'd been wrong. That's why he was standing with some other oddballs, trying to stop it when they had never worked together before. Mondays, amirite?

Let's go back to the beginning.
Days like this always seem to start more normally than other days. In fact, it was quite a peaceful day all over the world- truces in wars, friends hugging after years of feuding, etc... until around 11 a.m. It was first noticed over Nigeria- some spaceships partially blocking the sun. Soon enough, they had spread everywhere in the world.
Earth was almost used to alien invasions at this point. They happened once or twice a month. Everyone trusted the superheroes to stop it.
There was a voice coming from the sky, which was never a good sign. "Surrender now," it said. "Earth is ours. You are too primitive to resist. We will conquer all."
The aliens were right about one thing- it quickly became clear that Earth was outmatched. The alien ships seemed to be resistant to, well, everything. Heat vision, big green hammers, just straight getting punched at mach 27.
Swish! Flash heard something behind him. He knew even before turning around who it was.
"Superman."
"Hi."
"... What are you doing in Central City in the middle of an alien invasion?"
"We need to work together."
"I... what? Oh! That does make sense. Wha-"
Before either of them had time to think, Batman was standing there. "Agreed."

"I'm not really the best at teamwork," Wonder Woman admitted.
"Me either, but we don't have a choice," Superman replied. "I guess we need a plan."
"I've got one," Batman said. "We find where things leave... They've got to exist. We go in through there and disable the ship. That's very simple."
"Nope," Superman denied it. "I've been up there. It's all liquidy. Stuff comes out through the wall like it's a blob. It doesn't let anything in, I know that from... unpleasant experience." He shivered a bit.
"So what if we hijack one of their weird little pod thingies and use that?" Green Lantern suggested.
"And how do you plan to get in? I saw a weirdly shaped thing they had to put in when I got up close to one." Flash countered.
Batman mentally facepalmed. Honestly, doing this with Robin would be easier...
"Like this?" Green Lantern asked, smiling. After a bit of deliberation and two bits of arguing, he had approximated the shape as a construct, and the Flash looked a bit flustered about forgetting who he was teaming with.
And now to find something to use it on...

To The Person In The Newspaper - Jordan Bolton
The Justice League and their personal policies on swearing
Superman: never ever, mostly due to getting his mouth washed out with soap for so much as 'dang' as a kid
Batman: he adjusts it to suit the audience,but it's VERY moderate even in purely adult company.
Wonder woman: found out about swearing during WWI, and swears when she thinks the situation deems it appropriate, no matter who's around
Flash: he'll go as far as s**t and no farther. Not on purpose, he just kinda doesn't.
Green lantern (Hal Jordan): cuss cuss cussity cuss
Martian Manhunter: "I believe most humans would deem it appropriate to say '****' in this context"
I'm so bad at other accents cause when I try to do others it feels like I'm cheating on my normal New Hampshire accent
I'd love to say that this is the dumbest thing I've ever made, but we both know that's a lie
