(Originally Began: November 17th, 2015)
*Pikatwig opened up the door to the studio, currently listening to the Justice League Unlimited theme song on his phone.*
Pikatwig: Oh memories… *sits down.*
*KKD opened up another door, looking at images of various Marvel Heroes*
KKD: Man… to think there were so many of these heroes, lots of them I didn't even know about.
Pikatwig: *pulls out earbuds and turns to KKD* Oh hey.
KKD: *turns to see Pika* Oh, hey Pika. *notices something* What's with the tie?
Pikatwig: *fumbles to get a tie off* Oh… my induction into my school's national honor society is soon and I had to get a tie. ...I feel so bad for Ryoma Takeuchi having to wear a tie all the time and then that tie tighten thing his character did… *gets tie off* There!
KKD: Okay, it just seems weird seeing you of all people in a suit and tie.
Pikatwig: I actually didn't know that was required… and then I learned that Tuesday, when we're doing this, was the day of rehearsal… a mere one day before the actual induction. *rolls eyes a bit* Anyhow… so, a lot of you may know that KKD here is a Marvel fan… *looks to KKD, who is currently decked out in costumes of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk and holding a toy version of Captain America's shield and Mjolnir* I know, he's real subtle about it...
KKD: What? ...I'm a casual fan, honest.
Pikatwig: Being honest… I know little about Marvel. All I've seen is the Ultimate Spider-Man Disney XD show's "Spider-Verse", I've seen Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel and several Atop the 4th Wall episodes, being the various Clone Saga stuff, Avengers #200 and One More D-
KKD: DON'T GO THERE! ...THAT! ...is the WORST Spidey comic… EVER! And if you know what's good for you… NEVER bring it up. NEVER!
Pikatwig: ...that one four-parter than ruined Spider-Man for several people… oh, and 'Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows'. That's all of the Marvel exposure I've gotten. I know… a little bit more about DC though… I'm a tiny bit more familiar with their characters, having watched Justice League Unlimited a lot as a kid with my dad, and then the 2003 Teen Titans show.
KKD: Which I've seen a bit of, but not much considering my Marvel-loyalties.
Pikatwig: Though… I have considered going to try and see what was up with 'The Judas Contract' the storyline in the Teen Titans comics where my favorite Titan, Terra, debuted. Since, in the words of Linkara 'she was a monster'. And then… there's one other thing I know a bit about…
KKD: What's that?
*Pikatwig takes out a comic book with what looked like a fusion of Superman and Captain America on it*
KKD: ...The Amalgam Comics?
Pikatwig: Yea. I know a little… I've read a bit about the series, though, something else, my dad is a big fan of both companies, he introduced me into Justice League and when I was watching Mission Marvel, he knew who the Red Skull was and asked where Captain America was.
KKD: Interesting. ...I'm guessing this talk about Marvel, DC, and now Amalgam, which is the temporary merging of the two companies in the 1990's, is gonna be a segway into our next story?
Pikatwig: Duh. I actually did think up a few ideas over the past few days, and during the rehearsal for the induction ceremony… though I could really only think of who to merge Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman with.
KKD: Well, it's a good thing you got me to help. Admittedly, I'm not as well verse on the comics as a true hardcore Marvel or DC fan, but I'm open-minded enough to do the research.
Pikatwig: Cool. So… let's plan a bit…
*Some time later*
Pikatwig: We're done… and we can begin. So… you have the disclaimers ready?
*KKD nodded, pulling out a couple pages, one red and one blue.*
KKD: Whoops. Looks like they got split coming in. Care to help me fix them?
Pikatwig: Yea. *helps him, the two pages becoming one black page*

(Earth-616, 0900 Hours, November 18th, 20XX)
We start off in New York City, where a man walked into his home in an apartment building, the man had brown hair, green eyes, and was currently wearing a red shirt, white jeans and brown shoes. He looked to a newspaper, seeing the headline was about the Scarlet Spider, the article saying he either returned to his original costume or the original Scarlet Spider is somehow back.
"Well… didn't call that one," he muttered as he set the paper down, before he shifted around to work on a machine, finding himself hard at work to make some sort of red and blue lenses cross…
(Prime-Earth, 0900 Hours, November 18th, 20XX)
In the coastal town of Jump City, there was a young man who got his own newspaper and headed into his own apartment. He had black hair, amber eyes, and was wearing a blue shirt, black sweatpants, and white shoes. He looked at the newspaper headlines, showing the Teen Titans having taken out some villains, with aid of a blonde girl…
"...so the Titans have a new member again, huh?" the guy muttered, "Good to see they've gotten a new friend…" he then went back to work on some sort of machine similar to the one the guy on Earth-616 had been making…
(Earth-616, 0905 Hours)
The Helicarrier arrived at Avengers Tower, the individual Avengers getting off of the craft to sit down and catch their breaths from their most recent adventure.
"Certainly nice to be back, isn't it guys?" Iron Man asked as took off his helmet, as Captain America looked to his friend and sat down himself.
"It really is…" he agreed, the other Avengers convening, along with X-Man member Wolverine.
"You bozos wouldn't have been able to handle it without me," Wolverine told them, making the Avengers roll their eyes a bit, Hulk just growling at him a bit before Thor gave him a gesture to go away.
Hawkeye just sighed as the X-Men member took his leave from the tower, clawing his way down.
"You'd think he'd use the elevator," Hawkeye sighed. The other Avengers gave agreements to him as Hawkeye got some polish to clean off some stains from his bow.
"One of these days, I may make you all eat Adamantium, bubs!" Wolverine shouted, before he got his mouth webbed up, making the Avengers look up to see the Scarlet Spider.
"Sorry to interrupt this party," he told them.
"Ah, Scarlet Spider, what bring thou to art our tower?" Thor inquired.
"I'm just passing by," he informed as he landed, "Had to battle Electro and The Green Goblin… they fused into some sort of… electric… creature… I was able to split them apart, but I got a strange feeling that it was done by a third party…"
"Could be…" Tony Stark admitted, "We'll try and look into that, but in the meantime you should remain on alert,"
"Alright," Scarlet Spider nodded as he headed off, web-swinging across the rooftops.
(Prime Earth, 0905 Hours)
The Justice League returned to the WatchTower as they returned from a mission.
"It's been rather quiet as of late…" Superman admitted as he sat down at a table where he was joined by Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash and Green Lantern (Hal Jordan).
"It certainly has… it's rather strange…" Green Lantern admitted.
"Maybe it's because of how many times we've beaten them?" the Flash shruggingly suggested.
"That's rather cocky there…" Batman told him.
"Oh, relax, Bats. It's just a thought…" Flash responded.
Batman just gave a small growl at the Flash before he got up and headed out, muttering something about returning to the Batcave.
Batman entered a teleporter and arrived at the Batcave, hearing the radio was on at the moment. He let out an annoyed groan as he walked over to see Robin slouching around the Bat Computer, currently looking up the Teen Titans.
"Can't help but wonder why that Grayson guy left Batman…" Robin admitted, doing research on Dick Grayson, the first Robin.
"I wish I knew that myself," Batman admitted as he walked on over, turning off the radio, "Drake… we need to focus on more important matters…"
"Right," he nodded as he swirled around on the chair, noticing Batman was holding one of his arms in a bit of pain, "Are you ok?"
Batman slowly removed part of his cape to show his right arm was covered in a thick layer of ice, "Me and Kyle Rayner had a battle with Mister Freeze and Two-Face… something happened and they fused… we managed to beat them and split them apart, but my arm was frozen… it was too quick for us to react. Rayner went to the Corp to see if he could figure anything out, while the League and I try to keep our eyes out for trouble,"
"And… you didn't happen to tell them?" Robin asked.
"Didn't think that I needed to," Batman shrugged as he looked for something to try and thaw out his arm.
"Well, we might as well find the Bat-Ice-Thawing-Device," Robin shrugged as he proceeded to look around the Bat Cave for a bit, finding a flamethrower and aiming it at Batman's arm.
(Jump City, Titans Tower)
Beast Boy and Terra walked back in, the duo eating some ice cream.
"This is just a great way to relax after a long day of bustin' criminals," Beast Boy smiled.
"Yea… sure is," Terra smiled.
The two arrived in the meeting area, meeting up with Cyborg, Raven, Starfire and Robin, the six currently looking into some reports about theft from S.T.A.R Lab's base in Jump City, which showed Slade, Dr. Light, Mad Mod, the H.I.V.E., and Rose Wilson stealing what appeared to be dimension jumping technology.
"From what I can tell all of this technology is only experimental and has yet to be tested on a human being. But if the reports prove true, then we need to try and track these villains before-" Robin began as he turned around to see the two with ice cream, "...Beast Boy… Terra… did you two even investigate the area you were sent to?"
"We did…" Beast Boy began slowly, "...but we got some ice cream… and the ice cream melted and… well... uh…"
"It accidentally ruined our investigation notes…" Terra informed, before giving a sheepish laugh.
"Oh boy… Beast Boy…" Cyborg sighed in annoyance.
(Earth 616, 1000 Hours, New York City)
Meanwhile, the Scarlet Spider was swinging over the rooftops, trying to find the apartment where an old friend lived…
"Been a while since I saw this old place. I wonder how they've been doing…" the Scarlet Spider wondered as he found the apartment he was looking for and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened to reveal a young man with brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing a cyan jacket, black shirt, blue jeans and brown shoes, but when the man sees the Scarlet Spider, he gave a smile, "Hiya, Pete."
"Heya Ben. Been a long time, hasn't it?" Peter smiled.
"No joke, Pete. How long has it been…" the Scarlet Spider responded as he pulled off his mask, showing a similar face to Peter, except he had his hair dyed blonde and cut short.
"Been long enough for my child to be born…" Peter stated.
"That long, huh? Wow…" Ben Riley nodded.
"Still… it's good to see you again… cousin," Peter smiled, with Ben giving a soft smile and then he headed out, putting on his mask before web swinging away.
We turn back he male from earlier in New York and he had gotten some parts from Doctor Octopus, Green Goblin, Crimson Dynamo, and Doctor Doom.
"Excellent…" the man smirked as he put the tech someplace safe.
"Remember our deal, sir. We get you the parts, you provide us with the means to wipe out our foes," the Green Goblin reminded.
"Yes yes…" he stated as he took out what appeared to be some sort of pen-like object before pressing a button, sending out a beam of red light, and aimed it at Doctor Doom and the Green Goblin...
(An hour later…)
Ben Riley had begun to walk around New York, in civilian form, enjoying the view and was looking around at some newspapers, showing off some pictures of the Scarlet Spider and what had happened in recent months. He let out a bit of a sigh seeing that, much like Peter Parker, J. Jonah Jameson was smearing the name of the Scarlet Spider as some evil force that the Avengers, the X-Men or some other hero group needs to stop.
"Why am I not surprised by this?" he sighed, "Even when I'm not acting as Peter, I'm still getting smeared… and why do they keep using that stupid 'Scarlet Spider' name… it's not exactly got the kind of pizzazz I'd like…"
Suddenly, his Spider Sense went wild, making him turn to see a being that looked like the Green Goblin with Doctor Doom's armor and the green cape the doc was known for.
"What the…" he gasped in shock and horror, as the being cackled above him before throwing down glowing pumpkin bombs, but the people were able to evade it, while Ben rushed to a nearby alleyway to get into the Scarlet Spider outfit.
"Cap, come here, quick!" Iron Man shouted as he looked at the footage from a security camera, Captain America arriving in time to see the fused villain terrorizing New York.
"Is that supposed to be Doctor Doom?"
"Maybe, but it looks like he got the Goblin treatment," Captain America noted.
"By Odin's Beard! Such monstrosities have somehow become one…" Thor gasped as he headed in.
"Alright Avengers… let's get out there," Iron Man told them, before the team rushed out in different ways to get to the battle and try to help the Scarlet Spider.
(Earth Prime)
Batman and Robin (Tim Drake) were trying to figure out what may have caused the two villains to merge and soon came across the same robbery that the Teen Titans had saw.
"This is just odd. Why would they be attacking Jump City of all places, there are S.T.A.R Labs all over the world so-"
"Because this one had certain technology the ones in Gotham, Metropolis and such don't have. Experimental dimension jumpers…"
"I'm not following…" Robin admitted.
"They must be planning to go into other worlds to wreak havoc, where there may be no defenders… nobody like the Justice League or the Teen Titans. We have to make sure that guys like Slade and the Joker don't get out of our world…" Batman informed, the two ready to leave via the Batmobile.
(Titans Tower, 1115 hours)
Cyborg was in the midst of trying to do a cross reference with the tracking devices on the machines that were stolen, and managed to triangulate where they would be.
"Okay, let's see… it looks like they're still here in the city," Cyborg noted, as he managed to pinpoint where it was.
"Great work Cyborg," Robin (Dick Grayson) smiled as he walked on over, "Now let's see where the parts are… hmm…"
"They appear to be in some sort of warehouse over by Pier 17…" Cyborg noted.
"And if they've left, we'll search from there," Robin added, "Titans, go!"
With that, the six Titans took off for the pier.
"So… there is another world out there with another Earth?" a voice asked the man in blue.
"Exactly. I'm trying to make contact with this particular Earth so that I can… do something with it," he informed.
"Whatever. You remember our deal… I help you with these items… you help me deal with the Titans…" the person in the shadows reminded.
"And assure that the Justice League doesn't come in to help them, yes yes. I remember," he sighed before he pulled out a device similar to what the man in red back on Earth-616 used, before looking over at another villain, "...the famous Slade and Darkseid… don't go blowing up the planet…"
With that, he pressed a button and energies began to emerge…
The Titans arrived at the pier and began to look around, finding that there wasn't much to be found, but Robin noticed there were tire tracks on the ground.
"Guys, come over here," Robin told them, making the other five rush over and see the trail.
"Do you think that the criminals have escaped?" Starfire asked.
"No. Somebody else is here apart from us and those criminals…" Robin informed, "We need to be on alert."
The group nodded as they began to look around the area, with the girls heading off in one direction, Robin and Cyborg in another, while Beast Boy turned into a rat to begin looking inside the warehouses.
Nothing major seemed to happen for about ten minutes when Beast Boy noticed somebody walking around, making the green shapeshifter tense up and stay still, trying to see who it was without being noticed. It lasted for about three minutes before he noticed somebody familiar…
"Robin?" Beast Boy whispered as he scampered out to get a better look, and sure enough, there Robin was.
He looked confused when he saw Robin, but soon saw Batman with him and he didn't move.
"Did you hear something?" Batman inquired.
"It's just some rat," Robin assured, "Don't worry."
Beast Boy then quickly headed off.
(Earth 616, New York City)
The Scarlet Spider, Thor, Captain America and Iron Man fight the combined Doctor Doom and Green Goblin entity, each one confused as to why it appeared they were blended.
"This is just nuts, I mean, sure, he fused himself with Spidery DNA once before, but an outright combination of some sort with Doctor Doom… I don't know what to say about that," Scarlet Spider told them.
"So that time you teamed up with other Spider-Men wasn't just some dream Fury was talking about?" Captain America asked.
"We were called the 'Web Warriors'," Scarlet Spider retorted.
"That's a rather dumb name, don't you think?" Iron Man stated, firing a blast at the combined entity, who simply blocked it and then fired a sort of web weapon, spinning Iron Man up in a net and knocking him to the ground.
"Nice try, but I've studied you Avengers a lot recently… electromagnetic web. Disables your weapons with ease…" the Doom-Goblin being cackled before he was smacked by Mjolnir, the thunder god reaching for his hammer and then clenched it, "Oh right, I forgot about you Mr. Thunder Lord…"
"Thou shalt be taken down!" Thor shouted, slamming Mjolnir against Doom-Goblin's head.
"That's it, Thor, take him down!" Captain America shouted as he sent his shield flying forward, hitting the Doom-Goblin on the side of his head.
However, this gave Doom-Goblin a chance to grab his shield and then use it to knock Thor right into Captain America, the two heroes falling down near Iron Man as Scarlet Spider turned to Doom-Goblin.
"Well then Scarlet-Spider… it looks like it's just you and me…" he smirked.
However, just as the Scarlet Spider was about to get hit with what looked like a Pumpkin Bomb, the bomb got thrown back at Doom-Goblin, making the Spider turn to see the Scarlet Witch, alongside Wolverine, Quicksilver, Agent Venom, Captain Marvel and Hawkeye.
"Sorry we're late, but we needed to make sure we were ready," Hawkeye told Scarlet Spider, "So Doctor Doom must've figured out some new tech if he was able to fuse himself with the Green Goblin."
"Seems like it. Allow me to stall," Agent Venom told them as he ran forward and began to attack Doom-Goblin with his own webs and managed to knock him down, allowing Quicksilver to restrain him and allow the Scarlet Witch used her magic take away his gear, and allow the Scarlet Spider to web him up.
"There we go." Scarlet Spider smirked, "Hey, thanks,"
"No problem," Agent Venom smiled.
(Earth Prime)
Robin, Starfire, Terra, Cyborg and Raven all reunited, but they noticed there wasn't any sign of Beast Boy.
"Where'd Beast Boy go?" Terra asked in a bit of concern.
"I'm sure he's fine," Raven assured, taking off her hood for a moment.
"Just in case, we'll need to check in with him," Robin informed as he pulled out his communicator, "Beast Boy, come in."
Beast Boy watched as Batman and the other Robin were examining the scene, the latter two seeing the remains of the tracking devices, with Batman trying to identify how the trackers were damaged.
"Where do you think all of the portal opening technology could've gone?" Robin asked Batman.
"I have a sneaking suspicion that they took the devices to a particular individual who is looking for the power to go into another world," Batman figured as he then took out a Batarang, "And I happen to know that something is here."
"What, you have a bat-sense that's tingling now?" Robin joked.
Batman ignored the comment as he tossed it over at Beast Boy, making the green shapeshifter jump up in worry. The shapeshifter had become a green bat, fluttering away from the dynamic duo.
"Just a bat?" Robin asked.
"No. It's a green bat…" Batman informed as he looked at Beast Boy, "He's a friend of your predecessor. Ease up, Beast Boy, you're safe with us."
Beast Boy took a moment before he shifted back to normal and looked over at the dynamic duo, "Batman. What brings you here?"
"Most likely the same reason you and the Teen Titans are here," Batman figured, "Since we appear to be on the same case, maybe we could work together,"
Beast Boy gave a bit of a nod, pulling out his communicator.
The other Titans gathered up and arrived at Batman and Beast Boy's location, with the two Robins exchanging a bit of a friendly greeting, Starfire then floated over to the Robin from their group and began to poke his arm.
"Hey Star… Star… Star…" Robin began as he grabbed her arm to make her stop, "That hurts."
"Then, you are not a hologram?" she asked.
"No, Star. You're looking at the real me, and my successor as partner to Batman, Tim Drake," Robin informed.
"Oh… well then, greetings other Robin," she smiled.
"Pleasure," Robin (Drake) greeted.
"And I'm assuming you know who the rest of us are," Cyborg assumed as he walked over to shake hands with the other Robin.
"Yes, Batman has told me about the original Robin and I've taken time to look up your team. Victor Stone, Cyborg. Garfield Mark Logan, Beast Boy, a former member of the Doom Patrol, and Princess Tara Markov, Terra,"
"...your actual name is 'Terra'?" Raven asked Terra.
"It's split differently," Terra informed.
"Oh… I see."
"Now that we're all caught up to speed, has there been any evidence about the stolen tech from S.T.A.R Labs?" Robin (Grayson) asked.
"We have reason to believe that they tricked us into being here, as me and Robin found the destroyed remains of some of the trackers; the person who took the technology most likely set up some sort of trap,"
Suddenly, a grenade was launched at the group, forcing them to scatter. Raven attempted to contain the explosion with her powers, but it seemed to overwhelm her as she was still thrown back by the force of the blow. The group looked to see what looked like Darkseid standing atop a window for the warehouse.
"...Darkseid…" Batman mumbled, seeing the gigantic figure, but noticed his costume looked like a fusion of Darkseid's own costume as well as that of Slade, "What?"
"It's Slade too…" Robin (Grayson) noted.
Batman tossed an explosive Batarang up to the combined entity, however he managed to deflect it by using a form of telekinesis to knock it away. The heroes were forced to scatter again, with Cyborg trying to fire his sonic cannon, but it was easily just blocked by an energy shield of some sort.
"Titans… and the world famous Batman…" Slade's voice spoke from the combined entity, "It appears that now I can beat the famous Boy Wonder and his mentor…"
Robin (Grayson) tossed a birdarang at the combined being, but he simply swatted it away like a fly.
"How can we beat him?" Robin (Drake) asked his predecessor.
"You can not. I am an all-powerful god, and thus you mere mortals can not beat me!" Darkseid shouted, the fusion of him and Slade emerged, showing him wearing Darkseid's hood, had Slade's armor, the face showing the half-and-half red and black look of Slade's mask, and he had Slade's equipment belt, "We are… Darkslade…"
The two Robins attempted to use their birdarangs at the same time, the boomerang-weapons somehow flying past Darkslade and managing to blow up behind him, knocking him down, with Terra and Raven raising up a slab of the ground, Cyborg and Beast Boy running up and smashing it and then Starfire fired her eyebeams to enhance the stones and then send them flying forward at Darkslade.
"That… was a big mistake…" Darkslade shouted as he jumped down and rushed forward, going at speeds that could give the Flash a run for his money, as Beast Boy and Terra rushed around before both were hit by a punch at super speed. The punch hit them… and nothing happened.
"Heh! Your stupid punch didn't do anything!" Beast Boy shouted, when the impact of the punch finally caught up, which sent both him and Terra flying into the air, the changeling quickly turning into a bird before he managed to land, "...didn't see that coming…"
Cyborg attempted to fire at Darkslade, the two Robins tossing in their Birdarangs, the weapons exploding within the blast, creating a much larger impact, but Darkslade was able to absorb the impact and then send it right at the three of them.
The Caped Crusader watched for a moment, analyzing Darkslade's movements. He watched and waited for the right moment…
"You really believe that you will be able to stop us? There is no hero who can stop our combined might. Not you Teen Titans. Not the Justice League… NOBODY!" Darkslade shouted, when suddenly, the same impact punch attack he used on Beast Boy and Terra was used on him, sending him flying.
"Need a hand?" a voice asked the two Robins, helping them up.
"Kid Flash!" Robin (Grayson) realized.
The figure stopped, revealing it was indeed Kid Flash, who smirked before somebody else did the same impact punch, revealing himself to be The Flash.
"Good to see you're here," Batman told Flash.
Suddenly, Darkslade was grabbed by a green fist, revealing Hal Jordan, Green Lantern.
"How convenient that we're all here. Isn't it Bruce?" Superman asked as he flew on in with Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter.
The two teams all formed up, ready to take on Darkslade together.
"The might of a god of New Genesis is more than enough to stop two superhero teams… there is no possible way that you can-"
"Oh shut up!" Beast Boy shouted as he turned into a gorilla and rushed in, pounding against Darkslade when he was unprepared, managing to knock him outside the warehouse.
The two teams walked over and saw that the combined entity had split apart, with Darkseid in the air while Slade was on the ground.
"...you have won for today heroes. However, the war has only just begun," he told them before he teleported away.
Robin (Grayson) walked over and aimed his staff at Slade's neck, "This is over, Slade."
"You Titans are after the wrong enemy…" Slade told them, "There's another force coming from another dimension…"
The two teams both exchanged looks of concern, as well as looks of suspicion involving Slade.
"I'm serious. If you continue to focus on us, a greater threat will soon take my place…"
"...what is this threat?" Superman asked.
"They call themselves… the Avengers," Slade informed.
(Earth 616)
"So there's an invading force and they call themselves… the 'Justice League'? Why would an evil force call themselves 'Justice League'?" Captain America asked as he, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Mr. Fantastic and Nick Fury were in a meeting room, currently talking with Dr. Doom.
"It's just a facade. They plan to take down the heroes of this world down…" Dr. Doom informed as the heroes took notes, "One man is the sole survivor of a destroyed world, one is a crazed madman bent on revenge, one's the child of the queen of the Greek Pantheon, one has super speed from a sort of freak accident, there's a green-clad warrior charged by his fearlessness, an invading Martian, and they have a support team called the Teen Titans, being formed by the sidekick of the aforementioned madman."
"...this seems like it's going to be the biggest challenge we've ever faced Avengers…" Nick Fury realized, "We must be prepared for the worst…"
Iron Man let out a sigh as he looked at the Crimson Dynamo and opened up his cell.
"Well, if it isn't my old rival. Tell me, comrade, why come set me free?" the crimson-armor-clad villain inquired as Iron Man kept his blaster aimed at him.
"We need all the help we can get to fight a new enemy. Cooperate and you'll be let free," Iron Man told him.
"And you trust me… why?" Loki asked his brother.
"Earth is under a much greater threat, brother… and as much as I don't trust thou… I need your help," Thor sighed.
"...When do we start?" Loki smirked as he turned around to face Thor.
(Earth Prime)
"And you will be paying me… how much, for my services?" Lex Luthor asked Superman, the Man of Steel having approached Luthor in his office.
"You will be payed in quintillions, you have no reason to say no to this Luthor," Superman told him.
"...I see… you must be desperate to ask for my aid, Superman… very well," Luthor smirked.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Robin (Drake) asked Batman, as the duo was now in Arkham Asylum, with Batman signing papers to free a prisoner.
"We are low on options, Robin." Batman responded.
"Are you sure about this Batman?" an officer asked.
The Joker was escorted out and brought to stand in front of the Dynamic Duo.
"Okay, so I'm free… what dumb idiot thinks that releasing me was a good idea?" the Joker laughed, not seeing who it was.
"...This is only temporary, Joker," Batman informed, with the Joker turning to face him slowly.
"...oh. Uh… hello Batman…" Joker waved nervously.
"Settle down. I'm here to negotiate. Your temporary freedom… in exchange for helping me. Deal?"
"Hmm… you know me better than that, Bats. I don't work for free, you know. And temporary freedom isn't much," Joker noted, his joking side starting to come out a bit more.
Both Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy were let free, with Robin just letting out a loud groan.
"Why did you agree to let the Joker out? Now we have to deal with three criminals…" Robin groaned.
"We have little choice in the matter, Robin," Batman informed.
"Thank you dear friend. We shall be eternally grateful for you freeing us," Poison Ivy told Batman.
"We only brought you out because of the Joker's request. He, however, will be certain to go back to jail. If you two ladies help us out, the same will happen to you." Batman informed.
"What do you mean 'no'?" Robin asked Roy Harper, the Teen Titan member rather surprised by this.
"...Just no, Robin. I have my reasons," Roy informed as he opened up the door and allowed Robin to enter.
Robin looked up and saw a picture of Roy Harper with a young girl, "...I didn't know you got married."
"I didn't," Roy responded.
"Oh? Then… who's the girl?"
"She's still my daughter," Roy informed.
The boy wonder ended up silent, a bit confused before it slowly dawned on him.
"...what's her name?" Robin asked.
"Lian," Roy informed.
Robin remained quiet for a moment before he escorted himself out, "Sorry for intruding, Roy,"
Roy stood still for a moment as he looked to see a drawing of various superheroes on the fridge, including himself as Speedy, Robin, the other Titans, and Lian herself as a superhero.
Back with the odd blue-shirted man, he was putting the final touches to his machine.
"Perfect…" he smiled as he slowly turned it on, "In just a few moments, I should be able to open the portal…"
And just like that, a portal opened up in front of him, revealing what looked like him in a different dimension, only wearing red.
"Well… it's been a long time, hasn't it?" his red-clad doppelganger smiled.
"It certainly has…" he nodded, "...I believe it's almost time, isn't it?"
"It is… now then," the other nodded.
Meanwhile, Superman was flying around before spotting a giant green man with purple shorts running around. Superman landed and glared at him, surprised and confused.
"Who are you?" Superman demanded.
"Me Hulk. Who you?!" the giant green man demanded.
"I am Superman,"
"Is Superman Justice League?"
"...I can only assume you're an Avenger."
"Hulk smash Superman!"
Superman sighed in response before he punched Hulk, but Hulk was easily able to grab Superman and slammed him into the ground multiple times before launching him into the air with Superman countering by using his ice breath on Hulk's legs.
Suddenly, Superman was hit in the back as Thor flew in, alongside the Scarlet Witch and Iron Man.
"A Justice League member, huh?" Iron Man noted, "Looks like we have you outnumbered. Surrender!"
Suddenly, a sonic screech came and managed to temporarily cause the Iron Man suit to malfunction, and a magic spell held back Mjolnir.
"What in Odin's name?!" Thor gasped as Batman, Black Canary, Zatanna and Wonder Woman all showed up, riding Wonder Woman's invisible jet before leaping out.
"Need some help?" Batman said with a bit of a smug look.
The Titans all looked around their island, as they saw the Statue of Liberty not to far away from the island.
"We live in California, right?" Beast Boy checked.
"Yep," Cyborg nodded.
"Then why're we in New York?"
"Does anybody think that the magical energy there may explain it?" Starfire asked, pointing to wisps of blue magically charged energy flowing in various parts of the city.
Raven floated over to the energy and attempted to see if she could counteract it, but it gave her a nasty shock of electrical energy, leaving her too stunned to keep airborne. She began to fall to the ground, with Starfire quickly catching her.
"Well… that didn't work." Robin noted.
"So a new enemy is going to be fighting us?" Peter asked the Scarlet Spider.
"And we need all the help we can get. Heard the Avengers were getting their old foes out to try and help," Scarlet Spider informed, "They even let the Green Goblin out to try and help…"
"...okay. I'm going to help you," Peter stated, going to the closet and pulling out his old costume.
Robin (Drake) hurried on his motorcycle and drove up to try and attack Captain America, but got knocked out of the air by Captain America's shield.
The Crimson Dynamo was about to shoot an energy attack at Batman, but Joker just cackled as he threw a pie in his face before pressing a remote button, causing a bomb to go off knocking the Russian inventor onto the ground.
"Apart from me and my buddies in Gotham, nobody's allowed to hurt him!" the Joker shouted as he ran forward and began fire a couple pistols at Dynamo, which somehow had armor piercing rounds that at least dented the crimson-clad Russian's armor.
"...was bringing the Joker the best you could think of?" Superman asked Batman.
"We had little choice," Batman responded.
Green Arrow arrived alongside Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, the three proceeding to knock the Hulk away from Superman and allow Superman to get a clean hit on Thor.
"Hulk smash puny Justice League!" Hulk shouted, as he jumped up and smacked Booster Gold out of the air, when suddenly an arrow hit him and knocked him back a bit.
Green Arrow smirked a bit as he fired another arrow, which hit Iron Man, but he was soon met with a purple arrow that hit him like a suction cup, turning to see Hawkeye.
"Tick tick boom," he smirked, and just as he said, there were two ticks (or beeps) before the arrow exploded in Green Arrow's face, sending him flying into the Joker.
"Nice shot," Captain America smirked as he gave Hawkeye a thumbs up, Hawkeye giving a smirk and nod in response before going to fire an arrow at the Joker.
The arrow was caught by a vine, making the Joker smile and look at Poison Ivy and Harley.
The Titans were in the middle of dealing with the Scarlet Spider and Spider-Man, the duo zipping around the battlefield, avoiding blast after blast.
"These two are so irritating," Robin (Grayson) growled as he attempted to swat down one of them like a bug, but they kept bouncing around.
"Now what did I tell you about throwing things in the house?!" Spider-Man jokingly mocked Robin.
"...what?" Robin blinked in confusion as he scratched his head in confusion.
"Is that supposed to be a joke?" Starfire asked, "It wasn't very funny,"
Spider-Man grumbled, "You guys are no fun."
"Don't worry about it, Webs," Scarlet Spider replied, webbing up the ankles of Starfire and Raven before pulling them into Cyborg, making him miss his shot and the blast nearly hit Titans' Tower.
"HEY! Nobody makes me hit the tower!" Cyborg shouted in anger as he got up and blasted up a rock, "Terra, blast-rock!"
Terra nodded as she levitated the rock that Cyborg had sent into the air, and Terra managed to knock the Scarlet Spider out of the air.
"Scarlet!" Spider-Man gasped, allowing Robin to toss a birdarang to his web and knock him onto the ground.
"Nice try, web-for-brains, but you're messing with the Titans," Robin stated as he got up, readying his staff for battle.
Spider-Man grappled the staff away from Robin, the spider warrior charging forward and combating Robin as best he could.
Batman threw a hard punch at Iron Man, the blow not doing much to the armor as Iron Man punched back, managing to knock Batman into the air and knock Superman out of the air.
"If these guys weren't evil… they'd make great allies," Superman commented.
"He's got a good point," Wonder Woman commented as she managed to pull away Mjolnir and smack Thor upside the head with it.
"By Odin's beard! She's worthy of wielding Mjolnir?!" Thor gawked when they realized how Wonder Woman was holding the hammer with ease before taking it and smacking Thor around like nothing, "...how…?"
The odd blue-shirted man looked towards the odd red-shirted man and then reached through a portal, touching hands and resulting in a bright white flash to encompass the two worlds…
"What is that?" Superman gasped.
All of the heroes and villains stopped their fighting as the white wave zoomed over the worlds…
Pikatwig: ...this. Is. Finally. Done. *buries face into pillow* Finally… we made it...
KKD: That took a long time to work on.
Pikatwig: We began this when I was getting inducted into honor society, and I would love to go and convince past me to not do it. It's an honor to be in it, but it's not exactly the most fun to be in… anything you'd like to tell your past self of when we began this if you could?
KKD: Not really, I was working at a gym at the time. Now I'm working at a school part-time as a Para-educator. I wasn't sure what I was gonna do then, and frankly, I doubt I would've listened to future me then.
Pikatwig: When did you become a para-educator… whatever that is?
KKD: It's complicated to describe it here, but I started my path to becoming one summer 2016, I think, but I know I started in the Fall 2016 quarter/semester for my school district.
Pikatwig: Cool. And before anybody asks about favorite parts… we may re-read it, but I don't think we could pick. We'll try and do another chapter soon, but I don't know when it'll be posted.
KKD: Yea, for now, let's just say it's ok overall, but it's a prologue, not that much happened.
Pikatwig: For now… we're done. Just Live More… *takes pillow and rests head*
KKD: Jaa ne…
