Gotham City
The darkness of the skies covered the criminal-infested city of Gotham. Its silent protector hasn't been spotted for weeks. But they knew that he was there, hiding in the shadows. The weather was bad, lightning struck everywhere, but this was unusual. The lightning was blood red in colour. A shooting star smashed into a building. Amidst all of this, a shadowy figure laid in wait, the predator, the Batman. He glided off as he saw the shooting star collide into the building nearby and headed for the destination. Police cars all rallied to the scene, which he didn't want to become involved with, knowing what they will do nothing but disrupt his operation.
He silently landed nearby and looked towards the crater. Batman watched and waited as the policemen walked towards it. A figure rose out of the crater at lightning speed and absolutely slaughtered the policemen without hesitance. Batman glided off and went after him, the figure jumped from building to building, which Batman caught up to and immediately tackled, both stumbling on the roof. The figure was hideous, alien, and monster-like. Obviously not that Kryptonian in Metropolis, Batman thought. The figure snarled at him and jumped at his direction. Batman jumped out of the way, however by inches. This figure was faster, and possibly even stronger than Batman thought. Once he landed, he took out a Batarang from his utility belt and threw it straight at this demonic figure and it hit it straight in the face. The figure was nothing but dazed as he roared loudly and tackled the Bat, landing on top of him. Batman struggled to counter the demon, as it punched him in the face.
Central City
A scientist was frantically working in a crime lab, listening to the radio. He was immersed in his work, trying to get things done. This man was Barry Allen. Sorting out paperwork, a sudden newsflash was on the radio.
"There has been a demon on the scene in Gotham City, which is currently in battle with the Batman and he seems to be on the losing end!" said the radio.
Barry heard what was going on and ran out of his lab in lightning speed, converting into the Flash, the scarlet speedster.
'Hopefully I'll have something to save when I get there,' thought the Flash as he ran as fast as he could to Gotham City.
Batman kicked the demon off him and went to fighting stance. He attacked the demon, kicking it in the face before throwing an explosive Batarang while in mid-flip, knocking the demon back. The demon had done some damage to him and he knew he wasn't going to hold out much longer if he didn't defeat the demon now. The demon jumped at him, but he was punched a mysterious red and yellow blur. The demon smashed into a wall as the red and yellow blur stopped to reveal the scarlet speedster, the Flash.
"So it's true, the Batman is real. Don't you have any powers?" said the Flash, wondering.
"Why don't we talk about this later, I've got a demon to beat," replied Batman, irritated.
Batman approached the demon as it stood. He grabbed the weakened being and held him off the building, grasping its armor with both hands.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! What are you doing?" the Flash asked in surprise.
"Interrogating," said Batman as he started to talk to the demon. "Who sent you here?"
The demon didn't reply and it was holding a cubic device on its right hand, snarling. The Flash noticed this and took it off the demon. The demon suddenly teleported once it was taken off it. Batman looked at the Flash with anger.
"What did you do now?!" Batman said, knowing he was going to get an answer.
"He was holding this," replied the Flash as he handed the cubic device to him. Batman held it and analyzed it.
"Boom Tubes," Batman immediately said. "Alien origin."
"Do you think the guy in Metropolis had anything to do with it?"
"There's a chance, but I'm not thinking anything else until we find out some answers."
"I can take us there."
The Flash carried the Batman, as he ran off at lightning speed.
