John gave the woman a glare, a glare that would have made some of he trainers on Apocalypse wince. The glare of a man who had stood at the gates of hell who had stared down the man she was supposed to believe was god, a man who had went toe to toe with enemies with more skill, more knowledge, and sheer numbers and come out ahead. John spoke simply, "When you joined the League you lost certain rights, those rights were the right to take lives, Thomas gets away with it because of his knowledge he's technically not in the League but a neutral being doing the will of three goddesses, if a day comes when he goes to far he will be removed from the League completely and if worse case happens we'll try and arrest him it wont' work but we'll try."
He looked her dead in the eyes, "We are not some army, we are not generals, we are a symbol, we defend, and that is all we do, defend, and protect, we do not, nor will we ever take a life that is the rule of the League Wonder Woman has taken lives, hell I was a soldier before I joined the League, even in the core loss of life is acceptable, but the only difference between protecting people and enslaving them is what lines your willing to cross, we wont' permit anyone including our members to kill, Thomas will e brought up on official League charges after the current threat, but he is the embodiment of the goddess of wisdom, and the hunt, Diana will respect his choice, as will I, Sheyira, and even John know what has to be done, but the simple truth is just because something has to be done, does NOT mean we are allowed to do it to snap our fingers and make it happen your not on Apocalypse so stop thinking like a general."
J'onn spoke then from behind them, "Sometimes a life must be taken and both of you have points, but at the end of the day we of the League have no real authority, no jurisdiction, we are people with kills who band together to fight, if we declare war on a species, if we cut loose how long do you think it would be before others started, before vigliantism truly became an issue world wide, we cannot permit it to happen because to do so would have such wide reaching effects the world could very well burn itself to ash if we did, you joined the League not the other way around, our court, our ball, now play our game."
Mentally he filed away Thomas's injuries.
Thomas groaned, "Bonus of having two forms, I'm not supposed to get hurt, magical barriers and such unfortunately energy is energy."
Thomas laid back on the bed a hand on his chest, "A fire spell and a laser are basically the same, same with a freeze gun and an ice spell, that beam put off enough energy to burn through a dozen layers of protection spells sucks but I'll survive I think."
A heavy throaty voice spoke, "Very smart for a mortal, realized that already did you magic is a type of energy enough of an equal energy and it may as well be nothing."
Thomas nodded, "Lord Hephaestus what do I owe the honor?"
The heavy god chuckled low, "My wife asked me to make you something that wouldn't be burned away Artemis and Athena helped and well here you are."
What was inside the case he held up was beautiful armor. It looked somewhat like samurai armor, but lighter. No helmet it looked more like scales then leather and metal. The Grecian influences were obvious. Two Gladius rested on his hips, two revolvers under each armpit. The Smith god spoke, "The swords are made of a very effective polymer, Ares and Athena blessed both to cut anything, the armor has healing spells placed upon it, the whip was a gift from Apollo charmed to burn with the same heat his horses use to control the sun, the bow and arrows are from Artemis herself each custom made, the gods are rather interested to see how the first champion in six centuries does."
Pulling the armor on Thomas nodded his thanks to the god. The aromor looked to be a necklace and watch. However when he said the code word it shifted. Thomas knew it wasn't perfect nothing could be, it may make serve as armor but it was still just armor. He hoped he didn't' have to test it against any weapons any time soon. Thomas turned around to thank the god but he was gone. Thomas shrugged, "So kinky sex, or you want to go deal with the others?"
