It was a simple plan.
Attach the device to Darkseid, activate the device, get the hell away from Darkseid.
Simple yes?
But of course, when the justice league is involved nothing is ever simple, and it sure as heck never goes to plan.
Superman landed another powerful punch on Darkseids jaw and he stumbled backwards and almost tripped, but managed to catch Superman's next punch and swung him around and release him so he flew into the side of a large building.
"Batgirl, get the device on him!" Batman ordered and Batgirl glared at him.
"I'm trying! It's not easy you know!" She called to him, swinging over Darkseid and landing behind him with a flutter of fabric.
"The league cannot defeat me, I know all of your tricks" Darkseid bellowed turning on Batgirl and she grinned.
"Not this one" She told him and slapped the device onto his stomach, but before she could hit the button to activate it she was swatted backwards with a large hand and she grunted as the air rushed out of her.
"What a pathetic little device, I cannot be stopped by such trivia!" Darkseid grinned and Batgirl pulled herself up onto her feet and glared at the device and the button that activated it.
"I knew I should have added a wireless remote" She grumbled to herself as Green Lantern and Flash went in for another attack.
I have to hit that button! No matter what!
She ran towards Darkseid and he turned and snarled at her, lunging at her neck with his beefy hands but she just swung underneath him and slammed her hand against the device currently attached to is stomach. It started whirring and the small blade like part that was stationed in the centre of the device started spinning around and crackling with energy.
"Batgirl! Get out of there!" Batman called and Batgirl dragged herself up onto her feet and started sprinting towards Batman and the league, but she didn't quite make it.
There was a tug on her neck and Batgirl jerked backwards as Darkseid grabbed a hold of her cape, whilst the device on his stomach started opening up the energy, creating a massive temporal and spatial rift and it began to drag them both in.
"Batgirl!" Batman yelled running in towards the portal, and Batgirl reached back to start unclipping her cape, but a meaty blue arm reached forwards and wrapped itself around her neck and started pulling her further in.
She looked at Batman for a moment, before she glanced over at Superman, she knew he would hear her.
"Tell him I'm sorry" She muttered, before twisting around and punching Darkseid as hard as she could, sending him tumbling backwards into the portal, and she fell with him.
"NO!" Batman bellowed as he ran to the portal, but it gathered itself together, folding in on itself now that the device was no longer there to keep it open, and Batman watched, as Batgirl faded out of existence.
"No" He whispered, unable to stop himself from falling to his knees in despair.
"Barbara…no"
