Crusaders of crime
Chapter 1: One weird night.
It was a late night in Gotham city; Bruce and Terry were performing maintenance on their equipment. Everything seemed just fine until terry noticed a little gadget in one of the compartments.
"Hey Bruce, what's this"? Terry asked. Adventurous
"That's a mother box, you know, what they use to open those boom tubes".
After staring at it for a few seconds terry asked, why do you have one?
Bruce answered," just in case no intergalactic scum made any trouble in my city".
Terry wondered, and then asked, "Does it still work"?
Bruce replied, "I wouldn't count on it, as advanced as new gods technology is, it still gets old, like everything else".
Terry asked; "ever think of getting it fixed"?
Bruce paused, thought it over, and said "I will never forget how nauseous I would get after using those things". After a few more seconds of silence he sat up and said "whatever".
….
After 2 weeks of development, superman was able to deliver the newly modified mother box.
"Thanks", Bruce thanked superman for the device.
"You know I could have just as easily replaced it with a new one", superman said jokingly.
Bruce just stood there, staring at him.
"The only thing I ever replace is a hip".
And with that joke superman flew off, leaving Bruce, and the running late terry, to tinker with their new toy.
"Hey Bruce", Terry said as he walked in.
Bruce grumpily asked, "Where have you been"?
Terry explained "my ma was running late, so I had to pick up my little brother and watch him till she got home".
"Right; now you can begin".
Terry asked, "why me"?
Bruce replied, "Well if I suffered from nausea back in the day, can you imagine what those things can do to me now"?
"I guess I can", terry said.
After Bruce explained how it worked, Terry turned it on. And a wormhole appeared right in front of him. Hesitantly terry walked through the wormhole. Terry suddenly found himself on the other side of town.
"Whoa, that was cool", Terry said enthusiastically
"Easy McGinnis, it's not like it's the first time you used those things".
"Well technically superman"…. Bruce cut terry off just as an alarm went off.
"Not the point, theirs a break in at Gotham's manufacturer's plastics".
Luckily Terry was a few blocks from there; he flew off.
Terry arrived just to see a mild explosion. Terry grimaced as he knew who was there.
Terry flew in, and turned on his cloak mode, thinking he was safe as he looked around. After five minutes terry found Mad Stan setting up a giant bomb at the center of the building. Terry was about to engage Stan when he heard the creaking floor from above him, and with that he chucked a concussion grenade up to where the sound was. The resulting explosion sent him down to his level, and disabled his cloak mode.
"Darn it batman", Stan said angrily, "you are always standing in my way of sticking it to the man".
"What's the matter Stan", batman said insultingly, "mommy cut you off", he then proceeded to laugh.
Then Stan slugged him in the face, and got him in a headlock.
"Don't you realize that people are getting laid off and losing their jobs, and why do you think that is"? Stan ranted, "Because those corporate fat cats don't want to swipe a cred if it means putting a dent in their already stuffed pockets, so their stocks are going to crash".
Stan laughs maniacally as batman proceeds to uppercut him, freeing himself from his grip and proceeds to disarm his bomb. That is until Stan tosses another grenade at batman, sending him back, causing the mother box he was carrying to malfunction.
"Whoa", Stan said in astonishment, "what's the deal man"?
Bruce noticed this and asked terry "what's going on"?
"The mother box is going haywire here Bruce!" Terry said in a panic.
While attempting to turn it off, he accidentally opens a wormhole so large, it sucks batman, Stan, and the bomb into it. Thinking quickly batman grabbed a hold of Stan.
"Shut off the bomb, NOW". Batman said to Stan in anger.
"Why should I"? Responded Stan defiantly.
"Because if you don't we are both going to die", batman said.
Stan shut off the bomb, as Terry proceeded to kick it away from them.
Well that's one crisis solved, now as Terry and Stan barreled down the wormhole, Terry wondered, what is waiting for him on the other side. Terry saw the end of the wormhole, and braced for impact. He landed on the ground, while Stan fell in a tree, and in a fit of irony, the bomb landed on top of him, breaks the branch he landed on and hitting the ground. Terry looked around to see a forest in front of him and then he slipped into unconsciousness.
A few hours later Terry finally came to.
Whoa, what a trip, terry said dazed and confused.
Terry saw Stan, still unconscious, so he pushed the bomb off of him, and attempted to carry him out of the forest. But little does he realize he is not in Gotham city anymore.
