DISCLAIMERS/NOTES

1. This is a fanfiction based on characters from various sources. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THEM. They are all property of their respective owners. This is just for fun.

2. This is a femslash story. If you don't like that sort of thing, you won't like this.

3. Concerning Selina and Zatanna, this is my second Elseworlds. Meaning, it's not officially part of my Selina/Zatanna Chronicles series. But hopefully, you'll enjoy it all the same.

PART 1

"Zee... what have you gotten me into this time?"

Zatanna Kyle-Zatara frowned at her wife's question. "Selina, don't be like that. This'll be fun."

Selina looked at the people in the bar. She was startled at the wide variety of women there... they looked like they were from different universes. "Fun? More like freaky." She turned to the magician. "You said you've been here before?"

"Ages ago," said Zatanna. "But I told you it was eclectic, didn't I?"

"That's one way of putting it," Selina muttered. Zee had suggested this new place for them to visit the previous night. It seemed quite special, the way her wife talked about it. And Selina could see that was indeed the case. There appeared to be girls from all walks of life... and beyond. "You sure this is safe?"

Zee quirked an eyebrow. "Safe? Of course it is. I'd never take you to someplace dangerous."

"I can think of a couple of places you dragged us to that we had to fight our way out of," Selina said hautily.

"That's because you always let your mouth run away with you," replied Zee, just as smugly. "Look, just give this place a chance."

Selina sighed as she roamed the bar with her eyes again. Amongst the many couples at tables were a bald woman wearing what looked like green dental floss, sitting with a tall redhead. At the same table were two masked woman, one in red and yellow, the other a blonde in black. Another table had what was, to Selina's estimation, an Amazon in armour with a smaller blonde in rags. At the bar itself was a green-skinned woman with a much younger redhead, two girls in yellow and pink uniforms, a rather normal-looking brunette being cuddled by a woman in a green tanktop, and another regular couple sitting together, albiet even with them there was a noticeable age difference. "I'll admit," Selina said, "there's alot of very beautiful women here. Weird, in many cases, but beautiful."

"Takes one to know one," Zee smirked. "And the 'weirdness' stems from the, er, backgrounds of everyone."

Selina frowned. "What the hell does that mean?"

At that, Zee looked worried. "Well, erm... "

"Zatanna," the former thief pressed, "what are you not telling me?"

The magician sighed heartily. "Well, this place... it's not exactly... normal... "

"I guessed that," said Selina. "Come on, out with it."

"It's a... " Zee appeared at a loss for words. "... nexus," she eventually said.

"What the h... oh no." Selina glared at her spouse. "Zatanna, this isn't one of those weird dimensional things, is it? You know I hate multiverses and all that crap." Indeed, Selina was well aware of the Justice League's numerous adventures in other dimensions and realities. Selina was grateful she had never participated in anything like that - it sounded far too convoluted and confusing. Being married to a magician was as "out there" as the Catwoman ever wanted to get, thank you very much.

"Pleeeease, Selina," moaned Zatanna. "You'll like it here, I promise."

As Selina looked around again, she realised something. "There don't appear to be other versions of us... there's no one remotely recognisible here."

"This place doesn't work that way," Zee explained. "This is a hub for different universal streams, you see, and... "

Selina held out her hand to stop her. "Forget I said anything. The sooner I get wasted the better."

Zee rolled her eyes, then took her spouse's hand. "Come on." The magician led the former thief to the bar. Taking stools the Kyle-Zataras caught the eye of one of the barmaids. "What do you want?" she asked Selina.

"What've they got?"

"Anything and everything," the magician said. "From all worlds and time periods... "

"Time periods?!" Selina yelped. Before she could further express her shock, Zatanna called over a barmaid...
