Chapter 1: Arrival in the 25th Century

New Metropolis, Kansas, Earth, 2491: the team materialized in a city 500 years in the Future. Superman stared around the city. He looked at Hannah Melvin who had materialized along with his team of Doomsday, Connor Kent and Trinity Jean Knight. The team had just been in the past during WWII and now they found themselves in New Metropolis.

"Where are we?" Hannah asked as she began to shiver. She looked at the Christmas tree nearby. Trinity and Connor shook their heads as they had no idea.

"I have no idea, Hannah. None whatsoever. We need to find out where they are," Superman said as he removed from a secret lining sewn into his cape his civilian clothes and he spun around using Super speed and he was dressed in blue jeans, a Kansas City Royals t-shirt and a baseball cap that he had hidden in his cape along with his tennis shoes.

"I'm still blown away by how you Kryptonians can do that," Hannah said. Clark smiled as he put on his glasses. Doomsday transformed back into his human guise of Davis Bloome.

"Why did you bring the destroyer?" Hannah asked. Clark stared at her.

"It was the only way to stop Darkseid," Clark said. Suddenly they were surrounded by soldiers who teleported around them. Connor began to move forward but Clark stopped him.

"We don't know what's going on, Connor. Let's find out what's going on," Clark said.

"Who are you?" The Commander of the armed force said.

"I am Clark Kent," Clark said. "This is my team, Hannah Melvin, Connor Kent, my sister Trinity Jean Knight and a member of the House of Zod, Davis Bloome. We were on our way back home when our transport to the early 21st Century was interrupted and we found ourselves here, wherever here is," Clark said quickly making introductions.

"All of you are dead except for Kal-El, Hannah and Trinity. You all lead a revolution against our master Lord Luthor, master of the United States. You're all under arrest," the Commander said, but then the armed force were all stunned as they saw Batarangs stun each one of them. They then saw the men fall. They then saw someone fly and land. But it wasn't Superman. It was someone dressed in a costume with a bat symbol on it.

"Commander Knight, and the rest of you, follow me," he said. The team quickly moved out the street dragging the fallen forces out of view.

"Who are you?" Davis asked. Batman removed his mask to reveal a kid about 16. "My name is Terry McGinnis, and I am Batman. I'm a member of the resistance. Our team is composed of Bruce Wayne, Commander Knight and Kal-El, we need to get going," Terry said as he put back on his mask. Trinity stopped him.

"Bruce Wayne? Isn't he dead?" She asked. Terry shook his head. "It's not the Bruce Wayne you know. Bruce, at least in your century had been looking at ways to prolong his life. He needed to keep the Legend of the Batman going, so he had Wayne Enterprises clone him. The Clone he put in a secret chamber in the batcave and froze it to see if the body could withstand the normal climates that we humans can, and Bruce then became Batman for one last time and lost a battle with the Joker. Crime ran rampant both in Gotham and Metropolis for years and both cities fell to the Crime Syndicate. Then out of the past, or at least it seemed that way, Lex Luthor stepped up and took the reins of the Presidency and enacted a VRA, The Vigilante Registration Act that your team managed to stop when you defeated Darkseid. But Luthor managed to better train police forces. He rescinded the US Constitution and declared martial law. All law organizations except for The Foundation for Law And Government agreed with Luthor's plans. FLAG was then shut down and its lone operative Michael Knight was killed. But not before he removed the CPU of both The Knight Automated Roving Robot & The Knight Industries Three Thousand were removed before the cars were ordered destroyed. Knight Industries Technology last year rebuilt the vehicles but the Foundation vehicles were hidden. Come to the Batcave, you'll meet my team," Terry said as Clark's team followed the young man down alleys and then they started walking down one particular alley when they came to a sewer cover. Terry motioned for Clark to lift it. He lifted it with ease.

"We'll be in the sewers and we'll make our ways to New Gotham and to the Batcave," Terry said and they began to run. The sewers were remarkably dry. They walked on for miles and then came to a wall, that Terry touched and the "wall" slid to one side to reveal an entrance that led to a cave…they walked along a steel bridge and came to the main computer hub where sat a man. A very young man, to Clark's surprise.

"Bruce? Batman?" Clark asked, as Bruce Wayne stood up. He looked similarly like Clark.

"Yes I was once Batman, but that was a lifetime ago. Now Terry is Batman, while I am the leader of this resistance. Kal-El, we detected your team in the past and the reason we brought you here was to stop Lex Luthor," Bruce finally said. Clark, Hannah, Davis, & Connor & Trinity just stared at him in shock.

"Why?" Trinity finally asked. She then heard a voice. It was her own. "Because I asked him to," A much older Trinity Jean Knight said walking into the light out of the darkness. They just stared in wonder at the Kryptonian.

"Come, there is much to do," the older Trinity Jean Knight said….
