Chapter 1
No ones POV
"Where are we?" Wonder Woman asked as the white light around her dissipated.
"I don't know," Superman said from behind her with Martian Manhunter and Flash by his side.
They had been at the watch tower talking about their recent missions when there was a flash of blinding white light and they were transported to a room with a total of 11 stone slabs, ten of them in a circle and one in the middle.
There was another flash of light that faded to reveal Batman, the Joker, Poison Ive, Two-Face, and Catwoman. It looked like they had been in the middle of a fight when they were transported here. With a silent truce they relaxed their battle stances and looked around.
When Batman's gaze landed on the four league members he walked over and was about to start questioning them but was interrupted by one last flash of light bringing the last of the league members.
"Now that were all here we can begin," a female voice rang out in the marble room.
The eleven people in the room startled and turned toward the voice. Standing infront of the only door in the room was a beautiful woman with snow white hair and gold eyes.
"You are here because we need your help," she continued.
"Who needs our help, and why are the villains here?" Flash asked with a tilt of his head.
"We are the Excupitor. The Watchers of the multiverse. Years ago we were told to hide a piece of information that could save the universe from The Interficio, The Destroyers until a time in which it was needed. That time is now," she explained.
"What does that have to do with us?" Catwoman asked.
"We hid it in a place that would be near impossible to find and even harder to get to, a place even we can't get to. In the mind of one of you here. In the mind of the one called Batman," she said staring at the man in question.
Everyone turned to look at Batman who's expression hardened into an unreadable mask.
"Why did you hide it there?" The Joker asked with a sneer.
"That was the safest place. A place that no one can get to without a guide," she explained.
"Why can't you get it out yourself? Why are we here?" Superman asked.
"We can't get it because we can't get past his defenses, and even if we did we would be lost in the labyrinth of his mind. You are here because you ten are the closest to him that we could find. You all are the ones he would most like let into his mind," she said.
"What makes you think I would let anyone into my mind?" Batman cut in, speaking up for the first time.
"Because when we put the information into your mind we got a brief glimpse of your emotions. You are looking for something, something very important to you. If the world is destroyed by the Interficio then so would whatever you are searching for."
Batman growled at this, but nodded his consent nonetheless, surprising everyone in the room. What was so important that he would allow someone into his mind?
"Do the rest of you agree to this? I must warn you that it is extremely dangerous to go into someone's mind, especially his. You could possibly be killed or driven insane," the woman warned.
The heroes nodded but the villains hesitated.
"What's unit for us?" Poison Ivy asked.
"If everything is destroyed then your purpose for existing ceases to exist as well. There would be no plants to protect, jewels to steal, money to collect, or people to make smile. Your existence would be null and void," she answered in the same tone she had used since she appeared.
The villains thought about it and nodded as well.
"Besides who wouldn't want a peak inside the Bats head?" The Joker said with a smile.
"Good now Batman lay down on the table in the middle. Everyone else chose from the remaining tables and lay down with your head to the center," the watcher instructed.
Everyone complied, the villains laying together with the Joker and Two-Face on the outside. The Heroes did the same with Superman and Wonder Woman on the outside.
"Close your eyes," she instructed Then started chanting. "Et haec animi decem in peregrinatione ad vespertilio."
The marble slabs glowed white then a varying color of light shot out of the ten surrounding tables and into the center one.
"Good luck," the beautiful lady whispered before fading away.
