Something wicked this way comes...

He had been waiting for over 20 minutes.  They were taking their sweet time getting here.  Potion had about maybe 15 minutes to go, and it was still short one ingredient.  No sign of the Chimp yet, but hopefully he's at least tried to contact and, getting no answer, is calling the cavalry in as we speak.

Then he hears rustling from the woods, behind the house.  Figures, they're coming from the wrong direction.

He moves inside - hoping that by doing that, Hotshot and Green Shield, flanking him within the woods from each side, follow parallel.  He moves through the house, not even bothering to acknowlege Brainwave.

He gets out the back door when he sees the barn explode in a ball of fire.

Shimmer takes one look around, and for the first time in a long time, she feels on the defensive.

Mainly because these upstarts took out two of their most powerful in a matter of seconds, using teamwork and a plan - two things the Justice League had been lacking at this point.

Dr. Light had no interest in Enchantress' vendetta, although he greenlighted her use of the Society on this attack - since each member could call on the others for a "personal favor" as part of membership.

The fact that both team leaders are down, however, wasn't in the manual. "Manhattan, take the sandbox! Baran, let whatever hit Enchantress try to bounce a couple of arrows off of you. I'm going to try to find whatever the hell did that to Enchantress..."

Mammoth then took off towards the corner of the house, in the general direction of where the arrow came from.

"Not so fast, ugly."

Brainwave whips around the house, and makes physical contact by touching his chest. Sand said this one would probably be the Mensa candidate we want.

We are not your enemy, Baran. We are only trying to protect our friend. We're trying to protect you...from them. What good has come of you being in the Monster Society? Are you happy? IS YOUR SISTER SAFE?!?! Then FIGHT!

Dr. Manhattan nods, then takes off at top speed towards where Sand stood over the fallen Psimon.

He then rears back and punches him towards the house. With a force that could rival Supermans

Sand had managed to begin the transformation into his silicoid form, which is probably the only thing that kept this punch from shattering his ribcage.

As it was, it sends him flying through the house out into the front yard. And leaves him stunned, in a considerable amount of pain.

Team, approach the blue one with caution. He...hurts.

And Sand wonders to himself where the hell the Chimp was.

As Dr. Manhattan starts to move towards Sand - he himself is hit with a very hard force.

Specifically, his own teammate. "YOU WILL NOT HURT MY SISTER!!!"

If the blue one hurts, then Shield guesses he's her job to deal with. She aims two of the Greek fire arrows at it, hoping the continual burn is something Hotshot can play with.

Unfortunately, the force of Mammoth's blow knocks Manhattan towards the clearing - and out of the path of the arrows.

Despite the force of the blow, however, Dr. Manhattan appears on the surface to be unharmed. And the force of the blow knocked him towards a woman in the woods, with arrows. She can see, on his chest, energy coalescing and growing, as well as from the symbol of the hydrogen atom on his head.

Wordlessly, he fires a bolt of blue energy directly at her.

Travis remains invisible, and shields himself from both psychic probes, and, given what he's determined, from most styles of energy probes as well.

He's 'watched' the blue thing, determined what its blasting, what it keeps changing to as it adapts, and he switches his 'vision' to keep him informed of different types of radiation.

Then he reaches out, working on subtly manipulating the energies, running the ring through constant calculations and analysis, determining he doesn't have the raw power to hurt this thing... so he does the Travis thing.
He works on subtly shifting the radiation within, accelerating the reactions, pushing its halflives faster and faster to try and eat away at the very substance of this being within the steel-hard exterior.

And since no one has told her that travis is doing anything, Shield just keeps firing arrows. All they do is slow the bastard down a step per arrow, backing her more into the woods. That's when the more obvious back up arrives.
