Legacy Of The Dark Knight: Dimension Crisis
James Davis is back as the Valiant Warrior! And now the Justice League has been created! But what's this? A rip in the space-time continuum? Another James? What's going on? Sequel to Legacy Of The Dark Knight. Takes place during the Justice League but before Unlimited.
Chapter 1: I Missed The Party
James Davis snored in his seat as the bar service rolled by. He had been asleep for so long his head was nearly on the window. The Boeing 787 flight had been flying for about 9 of the 13 hour 30 minute flight. Knowing this was going to be a long trip, James had packed his laptop along with a few books. Yet he still found time to sleep nonetheless.
Sitting next to him was Pamela Isley, formally known as Poison Ivy. She had been sleeping earlier, but had woken up and taken a book out to read. Pam looked at the sleeping James and smiled.
"He takes the longest naps doesn't he?" She thought affectionately. "Well he deserves it…"
She thought back to a couple of weeks ago when James fought his opposite adversary Nero, another personality of James. Sometime ago, he was captured to take part in an experiment by the Mad Hatter and the Penguin; hoping to create their own superhuman to defeat Batman and Co, the experiment failed and James broke out of the lab, giving him power over the energy Solarium but also creating the evil personality Nero in his brain. After Nero tried to take over James's body, he exorcised himself out and fought James to a standoff in the old factory where he was captured. With her own help, James managed to destroy the evil side of Nero and reveal Alcor, a more friendly personality who now stays with him and helps as a partner.
She sighed at the adventure, and then looked at herself.
"That adventure changed me completely…" Pam thought. "I'm no longer Poison Ivy…I don't destroy mankind anymore for the plants…And it was all because of him…"
Pam looked at James again. She just couldn't believe how much her life had turned since then. She felt happier in the past month than she did in all the years she was a criminal.
"That one night…" she thought as James turned over in his sleep.
Pam thought back again to the night she spent with James at Arkham Asylum.
"I felt his hands all over me that night…" She thought lustfully. "The feeling of his body crushing mine…His heat burning me up…"
What made it so sexy, she thought, was the fact that it was breaking the unwritten laws of heroism and villains. At the time she was still Poison Ivy, and for a superhero and a supervillain to be spending an intimate moment together was unheard of. The rush of energy that she felt that night, knowing they were violating their code just made it all the more special.
And she was glad where it led to in the end. After Nero's defeat, they had spent the night at her house and had a very romantic evening with a delightful ending.
She was so busy fantasizing about what had happened; she didn't notice James was waking up.
James slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Pam. Her eyes were closed and she was moaning something intelligible.
He raised an eyebrow, unsure how to approach this. Using his Solarium, he increased his hearing and made out what she was moaning about.
"Oh yes James…" She moaned quietly. "Just this one night…"
James now raised both eyebrows.
"Whoa…" He thought. "She must be fantasizing about the first night we ever spent together, back at Arkham…"
"Pam?" He whispered.
No answer.
"Pam?" James whispered a little louder.
She suddenly shook her head and blinked a few times.
"H-huh? What?" She looked at James, now realizing that she was awake.
Pam turned a bright shade of pink.
"Oh! James! Good morning!" She greeted, embarrassed. "D-did you hear any of that?"
He chuckled. "I'd be lying if I said no."
"Oh dear…" She muttered, embarrassed.
James waved it off. "No harm no foul. Did you sleep well?"
Pam nodded. "Yes, very well. It was nice of bird-boy to give us first class."
James chuckled again. "Still can't call him Bruce huh?"
"Come on now, I may no longer be Poison Ivy, but some changes take longer than others."
"True."
Ever since the fight against Nero, Pamela has been trying to address James's friends and teammates by their real names instead of insults or nicknames she gave them. In fact, she still didn't know Bruce Wayne was Batman. James had not told her, knowing full well the repercussions from Bruce if he did.
"Well anyway…" He changed the subject. "I'm excited, I've never been this far overseas before!"
"I've been to a few places in Europe." Pam said. "But never in Asia!"
"You know what, I'm gonna look up some of the attractions there."
James turned to the small screen in front of them. A convenient perk that most overseas flights have are screens for every passenger in front of them. All the little TVs contained some games, TV shows, movies, and even an online store where you could swipe your credit card on the remote provided (O.C.: I'm not lying, many overseas flights do have this sort of thing such as LAN Chile and JetBlue airlines).
He grabbed his remote and switched it on. Taking the headphones provided and slipping them over his head, he started searching for attractions in China. But before he could do that:
This is CNN breaking news.
"Hey Pam, check your screen too, they have breaking news apparently." James muttered.
Curious, she turned her screen on as well.
"Earlier this morning there was a huge attack on the planet Earth from an unknown outside enemy. Believed to be extraterrestrial beings, these aliens landed in cities all over the world and attacked, leaving much destruction in their wake."
James and Pam's eyes widened.
"W-what!?" He thought, confused. "Why wasn't I told of this!?"
"Alcor?" he whispered.
"Yes sir." The AI awoke.
"Were you aware that Earth was just attacked?" James asked.
"W-what!?" Alcor reacted just as surprised. "No I did not."
"See if you can intercept any other news reports, I'm taking out my Ari1."
James reached into his pocket and removed a rectangular mobile device with some black earphones and set it on the small table in front of him. He took off the airplane headphones and put his own in and connected it to the Ari.
"I've found a connection James." Alcor said. "Transmitting now."
Turning on the device, a picture of another news channel came on screen.
The Ari1 was an invention created by Batman, James and Alcor. Deciding that James and Alcor were going to need some technology when they went overseas, it was created so James could stay up to date on any news or emergencies nearby.
"This is NBC Breaking News" a reporter spoke.
"At first, Superman fought valiantly to curb the attack, but the invaders were too overpowering for him alone. A few hours later Superman returned with some other heroes and together they destroyed the invasion and forced the aliens to retreat off the planet."
"Alcor, are you sure that Batman didn't call us?" He asked.
"No messages or transmissions came here sir." The AI replied.
"I wonder why he didn't call you?" Pamela wondered, disturbed.
"Hang on, there's more." James said.
"After the attack was repelled the members of this team were identified as Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and the Flash. They soon had a floating Watchtower near the Earth's atmosphere and they call themselves the 'Justice League'."
"Justice League?" He wondered. "Sounds a little corny."
"Tell me about it." Pam said. "I'm also surprised the captain didn't panic or anything. Did we seriously sleep through that?"
"Damn it!" James groaned unhappily. "I missed the party!"
I'm back! After a long hiatus I've decided to throw this possible sequel out as a preview. If you guys like it, I'll keep going!
