Call to Arms
The headquarters of the YJLA

For a moment, all was quiet and dark in the headquarters of the YJLA.  Sophisticated monitoring equipment kept track of emergencies around the world and in near-space, all quietly humming away into the night.

The quiet was suddenly broken by a crackle of green light, briefly illuminating the entire meeting room in its verdant glow.  The glow subsided after a moment, coalescing into a single figure out a little blue man, the symbol of the Blue Lanterns glowing upon his chest.  His expression was far from unreadable; in fact, he looked rather worried, as though the weight of the universe was bearing down upon him.

There was little he liked about this.  He would have preferred to bring his Blue Lanterns into this, but without a Green to work with, their powers were limited.  And they could not work with the Green Lanterns on this.  Not until he had had time to persuade them that this course of action was the correct one.  They would act hastily.  And though they would not admit it, they would be acting from emotion.  Things rarely went well when his brothers acted upon their little understood emotions.

Instead, he reached out with the Green power that was still his birthright and rather unceremoniously brought each member of the Young Justice League to their headquarters.

"What the heck was that?" First the robot, and now that flying blur in the sky. What was happening? His first instinct was to go blue and get the heck out of there, but there were people near by. So he was forced to try and wheel his way out of the line of fire, so to speak.

"The Kryptonian intervenes," one of the Manhunters told the others. "Prepare to engage."

One broke off from the others, continuing to pursue the source of the Blue Light. The other two made a beeline for Jon.

"Manhunters." Jon recognizes them quickly enough. Powerful enough to hurt him, so he can't take this lightly. He fires a warning shot of heat vision, trying to slow their rush, then goes right at one of them, trying to engage before they can flank him.

Lenny does his best to get away from the robot, but his wheelchair was no substitute for the flight and speed of the Manhunter. It wasn't long before it had caught up with him.

The one takes Jon's blow hard, tumbling through the air, trying to right itself. The other takes the blast of heat vision, getting a burn across its armor.

The last, however, lands in front of Lenny. "No man escapes the Manhunters!"

Jon doesn't see the third yet, focusing on the two around him. He lets the one right itself while he turns his attention to the one with the burn, hitting the superspeed jets to try and get close enough to grapple it.

While Jon grapples with the others, the final makes off with Lenny.

Their shields may help protect them from impacts, but once he's past that, he's still orders of magnitude stronger than they are, robot bodies and all. When one grapples him, Jon tries to tear it in two. He's still engaged here, not noticing the third, nor experienced enough with manhunters to know their usual groups.

The one is torn apart easily under Jon's attack, while the remaining one, attempts to flee.

It buys the other Manhunter time to escape, leading the Kryptonian away from the scene, but there is no way he's letting either of these get away. He catches up, grabbing for its head and trying to snap it backwards with a sudden stop from top flight speed.

CRACK!

The Manhunter's head snapped off with a sickening, almost oragnic noise. But there's no cry of pain or alarm, just robotic static.

Jon makes sure its set in a safe place, rather than just dropping it, then lowers to just above the building line to start a sweep for more, having missed the third one making its escape.

Unfortunately, by this point, the Manhunter--and its captive--are long gone.
