When Weiss came to, she felt weightless. Winds were whipping around her rapidly and the only solid thing she could get a hold of was Myrtenaster and its case.
When she opened her eyes, she had to stop herself from screaming as she plummeted from the sky into what looked to be a gigantic city that easily rivaled Vale in size.
She took in a few deep breaths to calm herself, glad that she could even breathe in this world's atmosphere which was thankfully similar to Remnant's. She could only hope that it was similar enough that she would be able to use Aura and Dust, otherwise she would be at severe disadvantage if she needed to fight people like Warp again.
Focusing, Weiss felt the familiar surge of power that she felt whenever she used her Semblance and she smiled victoriously.
Falling out of the sky doesn't seem so scary after all.
As she was falling, Weiss noticed something silver falling about ten feet away from her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was Herald's horn. Using a Glyph, Weiss brought it over to her and put Myrtenaster in its case so that she could hold both without trouble.
Right as she was about to use a Glyph to jump down safely to one of the buildings, a large figure came rushing at her, flying without the need for wings to stay aloft. Before she knew it, Weiss was safely cradled in a pair of strong arms against a chest that was clad in a black shirt which had an odd red triangle shaped emblem on it.
Weiss huffed and crossed her arms.
I'm no damsel in distress, I'm perfectly capable of saving myself.
The man who had saved her, though as Weiss looked at his face she could see he was at least her age, had short black hair, which was unruly with how fast they were flying through the air, a sharp jaw, and piercing blue eyes, much like sapphires as opposed to Weiss' own icy blue eyes.
He flew them over to what looked to be a gigantic park which reminded her of the Emerald Forest with how dense and tall the trees were. Her mind instantly went to possible Grimm that might be lurking in the forest, but then remembered that she was no longer in Remnant anymore.
Judging by Warp's lack of knowledge about Remnant, Weiss figured that Grimm didn't exist here, but considering his powers and his obvious psychosis, this people of this world clearly had other things to worry about.
The man/boy flew under a particularly dense patch of trees and set Weiss down gently at the base of a tree, careful to mind her case and the silver horn that looked suspiciously like the one the hero Herald owned.
Her sudden appearance and Herald's sudden disappearance couldn't have been a coincidence, so seeing what could be Herald's horn set him on edge.
"Who are you and why did you fall out of the sky?" His eyes narrowed at her in suspicion, his tone harsh and guarded despite saving her from said fall.
His eyes glanced over her case. "What's with the sword and the vials? Some sort of chemical weapons?"
Weiss' eyes widened and she took a step back, putting herself between him and Myrtenaster's case.
How did he know what was in the case? I haven't opened it at all in this world. Unless he's one of the so-called superheroes that Warp had talked about.
Or a supervillain.
Weiss grabbed Myrtenaster out of its case and brandished it at him, making him tense up and take a defensive stance. "I don't care for your tone and I don't have to explain myself to you. So, if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way."
She moved to pick up Herald's horn, but the man/boy beat her to it with a speed that almost matched Ruby's.
"Where'd you get this?" He asked forcefully, getting too close for Weiss' liking despite her rapier being pointed directly at his chest.
Weiss knew she had to proceed with caution as she was in a foreign world, but he seemed to know Herald, and judging by the S emblem on his chest, and the "Superman" that Warp had mentioned, Weiss would have no choice but to trust him.
"Herald-"
"Superboy!" A male voice cut her off coming from a guy also around Weiss' age who seemed to come from out of nowhere. The only indication that he hadn't been invisible was the strong gust of wind that accompanied his arrival. "Have you found Herald yet?"
Though leaner than "Superboy" which Weiss guessed was an alias, the new guy still had more muscle than the average teenager and was also quite handsome with bright red hair, blue eyes, and a mischievous smile that just spelled trouble. He wore an odd yellow suit that had a lightning bolt emblem on his chest, confirming Weiss' suspicions that he had some form of speed related powers.
"No, but I found her falling out of the sky through a portal with a weapon in one hand and Herald's horn in the other. Should we call for backup?" He asked, making Weiss bristle at the thought of more suspicious superpowered people inspecting her.
Thankfully, the redhead seemed to have more tact than his friend. "Whoa, there, Superboy, calm down, we don't want to anger the pretty girl with the sharp sword, now do we?" He shot her a charming smile and stuck out his hand. "The name's Kid Flash. What's yours?"
Grateful to speak to someone with some social graces for a change, Weiss took his hand. "Weiss Schnee, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"See, Superboy? I got her name all by being nice. You should try it some time." He grinned, making Weiss smile as well since it was infectious in a brotherly way.
With Whitley, there wasn't much of a bond, but Kid Flash seemed like someone Weiss would like to have as a brother growing up.
"But getting back to the matter at hand, I have to ask you where you got that horn. You see, it belongs to our friend Herald."
Weiss' grip tightened around Myrtenaster as they mentioned Herald, looking down at her heels to avoid looking them in the eyes.
"Herald's gone."
Kid Flash's boyish grin faltered and Superboy growled, stepping forward and grabbing her by the shoulders in an almost painful grip. "What was that?"
A tear fell down Weiss' face and she closed her eyes, the harsh memory of Herald's death painfully vivid in her mind.
Weiss sniffled. "Herald was fighting Warp and somehow he ended up in my dimension. He was winning at first, but then Warp got the upper hand and took them both to another dimension." Superboy's grip on her got tighter and she had to use Aura to stop bruising from occurring. "When they came back, Herald was out of commission. Warp was going to kill him, but I intervened. I thought I had taken care of him, but as Herald was about to take them back to this world, Warp killed him."
Kid Flash stepped back as if he had been hurt and sat down on the ground, his eyes watering and unfocused. Superboy let Weiss go and started punching the nearest tree, reducing it to mere splinters by the time he was done with it.
"What about Warp?" Superboy rasped, his knuckles only slightly scratched despite just bludgeoning a tree.
"I stabbed him with..." Weiss wasn't sure how she was going to explain Dust and Aura from her world on top of Herald's death without overloading the two with information. "Light Dust. It's a form of energy from my world. It reacted with the energy from the portal and drained him of his powers, I think, but before he was completely sucked into his portal, he created one under me and sent me here."
Weiss hesitated, knowing that they wouldn't like what she said next. "I don't know if Warp's alive, but from what I saw, I think he's powerless now."
Superboy punched the ground, causing a tremor to surge through the entire surrounding area, rivaling Yang's or even Yatsuhashi's strength. "Our comrade died and the best you can give us is an I think?" He growled.
Superboy was about to get closer but Kid Flash got up and stood between them, tears still in his eyes. "That doesn't matter right now. Warp is dispatched thanks to Weiss, and if she hadn't been there then I'm sure we'd have a lot more on our plate than we do now." Kid Flash wiped away any remaining tears, his voice now a little steadier. "We need to get back to the Titans and let them know that an Honorary Titan is down. After that, we need to let his family know so we can arrange a funeral."
Superboy let out an angry growl and turned his back to them. "I'm gonna go to the Justice League and let them know that Herald's been taken out and that Warp has been dispatched temporarily." He glared at Weiss pointedly.
Without waiting for confirmation, he took to the skies with a sonic boom, flying faster than some of Atlas' finest jets.
She'd have to ask Kid Flash about this world later. They didn't have any Aura or seem to use any Dust, but yet, Weiss' own Aura worked and she was able to use her Glyphs easily, meaning that their atmospheres and the composition of the earth were similar.
Even so, this world seemed to have an abundant amount of people with powers whose powers didn't come from Aura or Semblances.
"I'm sorry about Superboy. He has trouble controlling his emotions and he doesn't understand a lot about humans in general." Kid Flash explained, his demeanor still a little downtrodden.
The way he spoke about humans inferred that they weren't the only sentient race in existence in this dimension.
Are there Faunus in this world too?
"You say humans as if he isn't one." Weiss pointed out, keeping her voice between casual and curious so as to not seem suspicious.
"It's complicated. I'm not sure how things are in your dimension, but humans are far from the only sentient race living on Earth, which is the planet that we're on, in case you didn't know." Kid Flash added, making Weiss grateful that he came in when he did, otherwise she would have to be getting information out of the ever graceful Superboy who seemed to like her as much as Whitley and her father did.
"I didn't, thank you." Weiss put Myrtenaster away in its case and picked up Herald's horn. "And in my world we have the Faunus, which are humans who have an animal trait."
Kid Flash grimaced, as if remembering a bad memory. "I've encountered some people like that, but I don't think there's an entire race on Earth."
Kid Flash looked at her expectantly, confusing Weiss. "I'd love to ask more questions, but I think there are some people who need to hear this too. Right now we're in a city called New York, but we need to get to Jump City, which is too far to go by any conventional method, so just bear with me for a second."
"Wait, what-"
In a yellow and red blur, Kid Flash picked up Weiss and zoomed them across the country, getting them to Jump City in a matter of minutes.
It took exceptional focus and use of Aura to keep Weiss from vomiting the second that they stopped. She had experienced Ruby's Semblance, but not over great distances or for longer than three seconds.
"Sorry about that, but here we are, Titan Tower." Kid Flash apologized with a grin on his face, gesturing to the giant T-shaped building which loomed over the entire city from a small island on the bay.
Weiss had trouble seeing the Titan Tower in all its entirety because of how big it was, barely noticing that Kid Flash was already walking towards the ground entrance.
Embarrassed, Weiss hurried after him, walking as fast as her legs would let her.
When they reached the door, Kid Flash entered a code and did a retina scan in front of a panel next to the door.
"Identification, please." A robotic voice prompted.
"Kid Flash."
In an instant, hundreds of guns and rockets came out from a compartment above the door and aimed themselves at Weiss.
"And guest." He added hurriedly, shooting her an embarrassed smile as the rockets and guns retracted. "Sorry about that. When our friend Cyborg left to join the Justice League he made sure that the Tower was well protected."
"Mission accomplished." Weiss breathed, her heart about to burst from all of the emotions that she had to experience that day.
They walked into the Tower and walked into an elevator which took them up to one of the top floors, a the beautiful sunset shining across the city in a glorious image across the water of the bay, visible through the elevator which had a wall that was almost entirely glass.
Weiss' admiration of the city was cut off when the elevator door opened, revealing a giant room that was equipped with a kitchen, a dining table, a giant living room with an appropriately large television in front of an equally large circular couch.
Anxiously sitting at this couch was a group of teenagers all around Weiss' age, each one dressed as dynamically as Kid Flash and Superboy were.
They all stood up when they heard the elevator open and they eyed Weiss warily. Even wearing a mask, Weiss could sense the raven-haired boy's apprehension who seemed to be the leader of this colorful group of heroes.
The raven-haired boy wore what looked to be green spandex tights, a yellow belt, a red shirt with a yellow R on it, and a black cape. He didn't seem to have any powers, but Weiss could tell that he didn't need them.
"Kid Flash, any news on Herald?" He asked, only a hint of worry in his voice.
Kid Flash walked over to the couch and sat beside a girl with pink eyes, pink hair, and gray skin and rested his forehead on her shoulder. "I think our new friend can explain it to you better than I can."
Giving her another once over, the Titans finally took notice of the silver horn at her side.
A tall girl with red hair, green eyes, and orange skin stood up and held her hand out, sensing Weiss' own pain over the situation.
"Come, friend, tell us of your plight." She spoke with a strange, formal accent, making Weiss realize that with her orange skin she probably was one of the non-humans that Kid Flash had spoken of.
Tentatively, Weiss walked over to the couch and sat at the end of it, next to the kind red haired girl.
"What is your name? And what news do you have of our friend Herald?" She asked, worry evident in her eyes and her voice.
Weiss cleared her throat and drew in a deep breath to steady herself. "My name is Weiss Schnee, and as for Herald..." Weiss wiped a tear off Herald's horn. "He's dead."
Nobody spoke. A few tears fell down the red haired girl's face as well as a boy who also had green skin, but no one said a word.
A girl wearing a dark blue cloak who looked more angry than sad looked Weiss directly in the eye. "How?"
Weiss sighed and explained the whole situation to them, mentioning how she was from another world and how she had opened the portal halfway and how she had fought off Warp and drained his powers.
At the end of her story, Weiss felt a small, but strong hand land on her shoulder, rubbing it comfortingly. When she looked up, she saw the pink haired girl sitting next to her, a sympathetic smile on her face. "You did the best you could."
"Yeah." Kid Flash agreed, zooming over to sit next to Jinx in an instant. "Any sane person would have gone running when Warp dropped a lake of lava on them but you stayed and you protected someone you didn't even know. That makes you a hero in our book."
Weiss tried to fight the tears, but they just kept coming, now fueled by the sadness of Herald's death and the Titans' kindness.
"How exactly did you fight off Warp?" The green skinned boy with the pointy ears asked. "No offense, but you don't exactly look you're equipped to fight someone who can drop an anvil or a lake of lava on you with the snap of a finger."
"I am also curious about the powers that our new friend possesses." The green-eyed girl added.
Weiss stood up and took Myrtenaster out from its case and left it open so they could see the vials of Dust that she had in there as well. "All of the people from my world have the ability to access what's known as our Aura. "
The girl wearing the blue cloak stiffened but still listened intently as Weiss spoke.
"Aura is the manifestation of our souls. It protects us and helps us fight against our enemies and helps us channel the power of an energy source known as Dust which is what is in the vials in my sword and my case." Weiss gestured to the different colored vials and turned Myrtenaster's revolver so that it landed on Gravity Dust.
Looking at the Dust reserves in her sword, Weiss was surprised to see that they were completely full, despite having used all of them at least once since she last refilled them.
"How exactly does your Aura 'protect' you?" The girl in the purple cloak asked again, seeming interested in the idea of an Aura.
"And you mentioned enemies. What kinds of enemies are you talking about?" The boy in the green tights added, making sure that no detail was left out.
"Our Aura protects us from almost all damage that is dealt to us. It also depends on the type of person, but with Aura, slashes from a sword don't pierce the skin, bullets aren't fatal, and punches don't leave bruises. One of my teammates even got punched through a concrete pillar by a mech suit and she got up without a problem." Weiss laughed lightly at the memory which seemed so long ago.
"So, you're like totally invincible then?!" The boy with green skin and pointy ears exclaimed, looking at her in awe.
Weiss smiled but shook her head. "Our Aura has its limits. It can be trained to be stronger, but eventually if a person uses too much of it, whether it be from their Semblance or if they've taken too many hits, then they will be just as vulnerable as a person without Aura. When our Aura breaks, that usually means that we have to retreat."
"And Semblance...Is that your power?" Kid Flash asked, now feeling slightly better than he had been before.
Weiss nodded and held out her palm, creating a small Glyph over it. The kid with the green skin scooted as close as possible and stared at it with unbridled curiosity while the rest of the teens looked at it with caution.
"Every person in Remnant who has control over their Aura has a Semblance. We're not born with it though, and often times, our Semblance will only reveal itself in times of need."
"Did yours come while you were in a blizzard?" The pointy eared boy asked, poking at the Glyph and recoiling when he felt how cold it was, making Weiss giggle.
"Some people say that our Semblances are influenced by our personalities and our experiences, others say that it's the other way around and some people think that there's no correlation at all. Personally, I think that our personality and our experiences shape our Semblance. My Semblance is a bit of an outlier though, because it's one of the only known Semblances that's hereditary."
"Your Semblance is heretic?" The pointy eared boy gasped, making the girl in the blue cloak smack him upside the head.
"Hereditary means that it's passed down through family, Beast Boy." She rolled her eyes, making Beast Boy, apparently, smile guiltily.
"I suppose it's due to the fact that my family name, my family's legacy, is something that is extremely important to us and always will be."
"I don't want to get too much into detail, but my family is quite wealthy because of its monopoly over Dust. My family name is synonymous with Dust and technology and because of that, every Schnee is taught from birth that to uphold our family name is our purpose in life." Weiss felt her smile morph into a frown as she remembered all the times her father would scold her whenever she would spend time playing with Klein or doing other things that didn't involve singing or business.
"But anyways," She felt her face turned red at having spilled half her life's story to virtual strangers. "My Semblance allows me project my Aura into what we call Glyphs, which allow me to manipulate my surroundings to my advantage, whether it be to create platforms, or with the help of Dust, to manipulate gravity or even someone's perception of time."
"So…magic, then." The pink haired girl gathered.
Weiss really didn't want to have to explain the whole situation with Maidens and how they were the only ones with actual magic, but Weiss just decided that it would be better to keep things simple. "Limited, but I guess you can say that."
"And your enemies?" The girl in the purple cloak reminded.
Weiss nodded and tried to think of a simple way to explain the Grimm. "As for our enemy...For centuries, probably since the dawn of time, the Creatures of Grimm have been attacking humanity and its creations. They're the embodiment of pure darkness and negativity. They're drawn to negative emotions and will even work together at times to kill any and all humans in the vicinity."
She took in a deep breath and when no one asked any more questions, she continued. "Just recently I learned that all of the Grimm have a mistress named Salem. She's made it her mission to end all human life on Remnant, my home world." Weiss explained as she put Myrtenaster back in its case and shut it.
"That's why I need to get back home as soon as possible. My team's travelling across Remnant to make sure that Salem doesn't succeed, and I need to be there to help." She finished, looking at the rest of the teenagers in the room for any indication that they might help her.
They all exchanged looks, wondering if they should trust this girl from another world or not, but then the pink haired girl stood up and extended her hand to Weiss.
"Well, any girl who has the courage to fight off Warp in four-inch heels and a dress is trustworthy in my books." Weiss took her hand and let the girl pull her up. "The name's Jinx, nice to meet you."
The girl with the blue cloak pulled her hood down to reveal purple hair, fair skin, and a bright red gem which was centered on her forehead. "I'm Raven."
The red haired girl smiled at her and said, "Greetings, new friend, my name is Starfire. Much like you, I am not from this planet. I come from the planet Tamaran which is many light-years away from this planet of Earth."
Weiss smiled at the kindhearted alien, grateful that there was another friendly face among the suspicious ones.
The green skinned boy with the pointy ears, apparently named Beast Boy introduced himself next. "The name's Beast Boy." He grinned at Weiss from ear to ear before turning into a green dog and nudging her knee with his head.
Weiss tried not to let the sudden shift affect her as her world had the Faunus, but she never expected someone with the ability to change completely into an animal.
The last Titan, the leader, stood up and shook her hand firmly, making Weiss correct her posture and look him in the eye as he spoke. "I'm Robin, the leader of the Titans. After what you did for Herald, I'll make sure that our team does everything in its power to get you back home. For now, you can stay in the Titan Tower as long as you like."
Weiss nodded and tried not to let the memory of Herald affect her too much. "Thank you, Robin. I may not look like much, but if there's trouble, I'll be sure to lend a hand."
Robin laughed and nodded. "I'll hold you to it. Maybe we can even spar some time so I can see how people from your world fight."
"I look forward to it."

"Might we have a slumber party to welcome our new friend Weiss?" Starfire proposed as they started getting ready for bed.
Unfortunately, Weiss was not prepared for the sudden interdimensional travel, so she only had her combat skirt with her. Starfire offered to lend her clothes, but she was much too tall for Weiss' petite height, so she ended up having to borrow a nightgown from Jinx who was closer to her height.
Now in a cute white nightgown with a unicorn on it that seemed a little girly for someone like Jinx, Weiss sat down on Starfire's bed, secretly wanting the other two girls to say yes so she could get to know them a little better.
Jinx just shrugged and laid down on the bed as well, her pink hair falling down her back instead of in the two horns that she usually kept it in. "Sounds good to me. What about you Rae?"
Raven used her powers to levitate a beanbag chair over to where she was standing and sat down on it, not bothering to respond.
"Wonderful! Shall I proceed with the popping of the corn and the teenage gossip about which boy is the cutest?" Starfire asked, floating in the air with excitement as she held out a teen magazine which had the "perfect slumber party" plan outlined.
Jinx just smiled at the Starfire's odd fascination with stereotypical teen activities while Raven looked like she wanted to murder someone, making Weiss realize that this was a common occurrence with Starfire.
Raven floated over some bags of popcorn and Starfire used beams of green energy from her eyes to heat them up, causing the smell of fresh popcorn to fill the air. "Popcorn yes, but no talk about-"
"So, Weiss, I heard that you had a run-in with Superboy earlier." Jinx stated with a smirk, making Raven glare at her.
Weiss shook her head at the thought of that rude, so-called hero. "Not by choice. He just so happened to be there when I was falling out of the sky and caught me, interrogating me as if I was some sort of criminal when we landed."
Raven and Jinx exchanged concerned looks, worried about what their hotheaded ally had done this time.
Starfire smiled worriedly and twiddled her fingers. "You must forgive Superboy for his actions. He has gone through much in the most recent months and it has hurt him."
"What happened?" Weiss asked, thinking back to how Warp had mentioned another hero named Superman who was most likely related to Superboy in some way. "Does this have to do with Superman?"
Raven's eyes widened when Weiss mentioned Superman, surprised that she even knew anything about him. "You know who Superman is?"
Weiss shook her head. "Warp mentioned him when he arrived in my world. He mentioned something about how there were no heroes like Superman in my world, and I thought that maybe this Superman might be related to Superboy."
Jinx snorted. "You could definitely say that."
Weiss tilted her head in confusion.
"Superman, like me, is from another planet, the planet Krypton. Due to the sun being stronger on Earth than on Krypton, and Earth having weaker gravity than Krypton, Superman has powers of immense proportions." Starfire answered. "Superman was known as the protector of the Earth, defending it from anyone who wanted to take it for its bountiful resources."
"But," Raven continued, "One day Superman fought a battle that was too much for him. He saved Earth, but at the cost of his life, or so people thought at the time. Because of that, a group of rogue scientists started Project Cadmus, an effort to try and clone Superman and get him to serve their own goals."
"Project Cadmus was started by a group of supervillains who call themselves the Light. One day, when Kid Flash, our friend Aqualad, and Robin went on a mission, they found the lab and they freed Superboy." Jinx added. "This of course," She sighed, "Didn't come without consequences as Superboy had been rapidly aged after he was created, and they took him out of the containment pod before he could be taught about human emotion from the G-Gnomes that were telepathically educating him about the world."
There were many terms like G-Gnomes and containment pods that Weiss only had an inkling of a guess as to what they were, but she had a feeling they weren't done explaining things, so she stayed quiet.
"The Teen Titans were on a break, so the four of them started a new group called Young Justice which eventually added a few other heroes as well." Raven continued.
"Young Justice was most successful and they taught Superboy about being human and friendship, but then tragedy struck." Starfire said, her eyes downcast as she remembered what happened.
"Young Justice fought against a supervillain that the Justice League has had trouble with in the past, an alien overlord named Darkseid." Jinx closed her eyes, shivering as she remembered that day. "With the help of the Justice League and other superheroes, they managed to fend him off and send him back to his planet called Apokolips. A lot of good heroes died or were were permanently put out of commission that day."
"This included Superboy's ex-girlfriend, Miss Martian, an alien with powers of telepathy from the planet Mars. She barely survived and is currently asleep in a life support pod in the Watchtower, the Justice League's base. They still don't know if she'll ever wake up." Raven's voice was little more than a rasp at this point, telling Weiss that this battle was much more epic and devastating than she had originally thought.
Weiss made a mental note to study Earth's solar system later, as well as the notable planets in this universe as alien superheroes were apparently as common as humans were on Earth. First Krypton, then Apokolips, and now Mars.
How many other planets can there be?
"Her death affected him badly, and all of the progress that he had made with his emotions was reversed. He went back to being a closed off, arrogant, defiant, and reckless jerk with zero concern for his own wellbeing." Jinx finished with a humph.
Starfire frowned, worried that Weiss would get the wrong idea from their explanation. "So please do not mind our friend's personality. He is still in pain and he places much blame unto himself for what has happened."
Now that Weiss knew a little more about his background, his actions seemed understandable, but she wasn't ready to dismiss them completely.
Eager to change the topic, Weiss asked, "You say you fought against this Darkseid as well. What powers do you have?"
Jinx held out her hand and created an orb of pink energy, her eyes glowing the same color. "My magic allows me to control probability and the elements to some extent. I also use hexes if I need to do some direct damage and Raven here is even teaching me a few of her spells."
Starfire's eyes started glowing as well and a bright green glow encased her fists, making Weiss scoot back at the intense energy that was radiating off her. "My emotions are my strength, giving me the ability to shoot starbolts when I feel righteous fury, the ability to fly when I feel unbridled joy, or super strength when I feel boundless confidence."
Weiss was intrigued by the idea of someone's emotions having so much power. To an extent, she drew power from her own emotions, but she always made sure to keep them in check when in a fight, Winter's training having drilled that idea into her head.
"My powers are similar to your Aura and Semblance in that they're an astral projection of my soul." Raven explained, an aura of darkness surrounding her. "I have telekinetic powers that allows me to take control of objects, shoot bolts of dark energy, teleport, create barriers, change my own body's composition, and levitate."
She had a feeling that Raven's powers were much more extensive than her own, but Weiss decided not to vocalize her thoughts.
In a world filled with professional Huntsmen and Maidens, Weiss had always felt like she had so much left to learn and so much more room for improvement, but in this world, that feeling was much, much worse.
Raven, Weiss learned, was the daughter of an all-powerful, interdimensional demon while Starfire had endured torturous experiments which gave her the ability to shoot ultraviolet rays out of her eyes. Kid Flash has ability to tap into the Speed Force, an ancient force that apparently controls the motion of everything in existence, and Beast Boy can shapeshift into every animal imaginable and even some that don't exist anymore.
Eventually, Weiss decided it would be best if they continued their conversation tomorrow, as the overload of information about this incredibly vast world was already starting to give her a headache.
"Agreed. I think that's enough exposition for one night." Jinx remarked, yawning while falling back down on Starfire's bed. "Let's hit the hay."
"Sure." Raven rasped, pulling the blankets around herself with her powers.
"Yes, that sounds lovely." Starfire agreed, climbing into bed as well.
Weiss smiled and went to bed as well, the enormity of Starfire's bed giving her and the other girls plenty of space to sleep. "Good night, everyone."
"Night." The other girls chorused back, reminding Weiss of the night that she spent with Blake and Yang when they went to Mountain Glenn.
While she missed her friends, she couldn't help but think what it would be like to leave her new ones.
Would I leave permanently? Or would I be able to come back and visit?
Weiss shook her head, knowing that she had to focus on getting back home before she could even think about coming back.
And as for when that will be, I have no idea. All I know is that I will get back to Remnant, one way or another.
Ruby, Blake, Yang...I'll make it back eventually. I promise.

Light-years away from Earth, on a dark, hellish planet, a dark figure sitting on a red throne sat up as he felt a disturbance in the fabric of space-time, sensing a new type of energy enter their plane of existence, an energy that he had never sensed before.
"Granny Goodness, come." The dark figure snapped his fingers, summoning a kind, maternal looking old lady.
"Yes, my lord?" The old woman inquired, the malicious smile on her face rivaling even that of Joker's.
"A new energy source has come into our universe. It seems in his greed for power and his fight against Herald, Warp managed to do what even I couldn't do, and entered a plane of existence that is separate and isolated from our own, existing outside of the Source Wall." The voice rumbled, intrigue and malice in his voice.
Granny Goodness just grinned. "Would you like me to dispatch the Furies to steal the energy source?"
The shadow shook his head. "One Fury and a squad of Parademons should be enough, I care not which Fury you choose. I need only know where this energy shift came from. Taking it for myself will come in due time."
Granny's malevolent grin faltered, but she still nodded nonetheless. "Of course, my lord. I'll see to it at once."
Granny disappeared in an instant, leaving the massive shadow to look over his hellish planet in silence once again.
Usually, he would have no trouble with identifying the new power that had entered their universe, but it seems that there is a force protecting this energy from even his powers, maddening him to no end.
No matter. I may not be able to see it now, but I will find the source of the energy one day. And when I do, traveling through existential planes will be nothing but child's play, bringing me one step closer to discovering the Anti-Life Equation.
He sought total domination over the world, over the universe, over the multiverse, over every single sentient being that ever existed.
And nothing will stand in my way.

A.N. At last, we finally see our villain, who's just itching to throw a wrench in poor Weiss' plans to get back home. It shouldn't be too hard to figure out who he is, but for the story's sake I won't mention his name until I feel it's appropriate.
I'm also sorry if it seems like this story is just explanation after explanation, but these backstories are really important for the people who don't know much about RWBY or the vast DC universe.
As for the little backstory on Superboy and the events that made him who he is, I added some changes that don't necessarily exist in the comic books, such as Miss Martian now living on life support, though I'm sure with how crazy timelines tend to be in comic books it's happened before.
Anyways, thanks for reading and until next time!
