Trevor was no stranger to rude awakenings in his life but getting sucker punched in a warehouse while he was duct taped to a chair with his arms bound and his mouth gagged was something new to him.
"Damn it Mikey! I told you not to harm the merchandise!" a commanding voice boomed from across the room.
Trevor wearily opened his eyes to see he was in some empty warehouse.
The place was mostly empty minus a few boxes that contained more of the weapons that the thugs had used to knock him and the others out.
"Rise and shine" the voice from earlier chimed before walking over towards Trevor.
The man was about six feet tall and looked like your standard street trash that hit it rich through crime. He had on a suit jacket with slacks and some snake skin shoes that glistened in the light.
"Wouldn't want Mr. Caldwell's son to end up damaged when we transport him and his friends to our client. Especially when they find out you and your girlfriend over here are carrying the metahuman gene"
Girlfriend?! Metahuman?!
He immediately looked to his right and saw someone he thought he would never see again.
It was his old childhood girlfriend Felicia Hardy!
Trevor struggled against his bonds and mumbled a few choice swear words into his gag.
The man just chuckled before he pulled out a taser and put it to Trevor's neck and discharged it, immobilizing him and putting him closer to unconsciousness.
As his vision faded to black, he was still left with more questions than answers.
Meanwhile, at Wayne Industries
Bruce hated to not be able to know a situation.
He had warned Barbara not to get too close to Trevor, he only wanted her to observe. Now she had gone and gotten herself captured by human and metahuman traffickers.
He ran a hand through his hair as he stood up from his desk and looked out the window at the city he swore to protect.
"You should stick with the concerned look, it makes you more bearable," a feminine voice spoke up.
Bruce turned around and was taken aback a bit to see Gotham's local jewelry thief and cat burglar (no pun intended) had decided to pay him a visit.
"Selina? What are you doing here?" He asked, his initial shock replaced with his gruff persona.
"Cut the crap Bruce, you know why I'm here, those wannabe goons took my niece Felicia," she spoke in a serious tone that contradicted her usual flirty self.
"Selina, I'm putting everyth-"
"Are you Bruce? Did you put a tracker on Barbara? Cause that sounds right up your alley. You can't trust anyone." Selina snapped.
Bruce awkwardly shuffled his feet at that remark, and Selina could only roll her eyes.
"You never change Bruce," Selina said with a bit of a grin as Bruce walked her over to a keypad on the wall. He dialed in a code before the wall opened up and revealed a Batsuit.
"Charming, do all of your offices come with secret armories?" Selina asked as she pulled her costume out of her purse.
The duo got their gear together as they prepared for the mission ahead of them.
Somewhere in Gotham City
Helena Wayne had her difficulties adjusting to her life on this earth.
For starters, seeing her mom and dad not married in this universe was a bit strange along with the fact that Bruce had a kid by another woman.
She hasn't met the kid yet and she really wasn't sure how she'd introduce herself anyways.
"Hey there! I'm technically not really your sister from another earth where your dad married another woman!"
Just saying that in her head made the Wayne heiress cringe a bit.
She was currently killing time in the apartment that her and the Kara from her earth shared.
Kara, or Karen as she went by in this universe, had worked her way up the corporate ladder and had built a successful company that specialized advanced technology.
It was a job that kept her busy, traveling around the world. Every now and then she would stop in Gotham and they would catch up over Chinese take out.
Helena's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when she heard the rustling of a cape and some gentle footsteps.
"You could've knocked you know,"
She looked up from her laptop to see Bruce and Selina both standing there in costume.
"Hello Helena," Selina said with a friendly smile.
"Hello Selina," Helena responded coldly.
Bruce, not wanting to beat around the bush, stepped forward and pulled out a holographic device.
"Some metahuman traffickers have kidnapped several members of the Titans along with Barbara and a new potential metahuman, a young man named Trevor Caldwell,"
Helena analyzed the data Bruce presented her and let out a long sigh.
"You know, it's already confusing to have two different people as Huntress," she said.
Helena Bertinelli had taken up the mantle and that had forced Helena into hiding. She had heard about the mafia princesses reputation and decided it would be best to just lay low for a while.
"She and Dinah are away on an important mission so the Huntress position is open," Selina said with a warm smile.
Helena ran a hand through her hair before shaking her head and looking towards the two of them.
"I'm in,"
Outside of Gotham City
Kara was already a bit nervous about this mission. She was anxious to get some action when Donna called her up about a rescue operation for the Titans.
All she had to say was metahuman traffickers and Kara was on board.
She despised these types of criminals and saw them as no less than scum.
She was currently flying alongside Donna as they made there way over to a warehouse outside of Gotham city.
"Remember, no killing," the gruff voice of Batman spoke in Kara's ear as she and Donna made their approach.
The plan was for her and Donna to blow a hole in the side of the building to distract the traffickers long enough for Batman, Catwoman, and Helena to get Babs and the others out.
Donna waved to get her attention before they made their descent to attack the outside of the building.
They both simultaneously collided with the wall and smashed a gaping hole before soaring in.
"Party's over creeps!" Kara shouted defiantly as she used her heat vision to destroy some of the metahuman transportation equipment.
The thugs started to scramble and some of them decided to open fire on Kara with machine guns.
She rolled her eyes before flying over to them and flicking them with her fingers, sending them flying into the back wall.
After Kara and Donna had disposed of the thugs, the others showed up and started freeing as many of the captives as they could.
Kara made sure to fly over to Barbara, who was duct-taped to a chair, and quickly freed her.
"Thanks, didn't know how much longer until they would-" she started to say before they heard screaming coming from one of the pods.
They hurried over to see the new one, Trevor was his name, was squirming in pain in his pod.
"Shouldn't we help him?" Kara asked as she turned to see Batman who hesitantly approached.
"His ability is harnessing, keep your distance," he spoke in a gruff voice.
"He's in pain! Can't you see that?!" Kara said before she ran over and grabbed the door handle.
"Kara wait!" Batman yelled but it was too late.
Supergirl grunted a bit as she ripped the door off its hinges and she got a better look at the guy.
He was convulsing violently and was still screaming in pain before he suddenly stumbled forward and landed on the ground.
Before Kara could lean down to help him, some kind of ghostly apparition that resembled several snakes sprouted out of Trevor's back.
They floated in the air before darting forward too fast for her to react as one of them flew right through her midsection and out the other end.
She gasped and looked down to make sure she was okay before looking behind her to see Helena, Barbara, Donna and some of the other women doing the same.
"What the..?" She asked incredulously before Trevor let out a loud gasp of breath as he regained consciousness and got up to his feet.
He checked himself for wounds but he was relieved to be okay but he felt weird. He looked around the women and noticed that there was a bit of a wispy trail connecting him to them.
"We need to get back to base ASAP," Batman spoke.
If only he had any idea how much things were about to change.
