The tall figure clad in black stood in front of the large computer screen, his whole attention was directed to the solitary red dot that had blinked to life there about ten seconds ago and was now flickering and becoming smaller and smaller. He frowned. The system designed around the city was programmed to alert him of every possible threats, of course, but this kind of alarm was not one to show up often in his area of jurisdiction.
"Is it time for an early patrol, Batman?" asked a boy dressed in vibrant red and green, who was leaning on his metal pole, waiting for his mentor's instruction.
"There's an unusual energy signal that is consistence with a disturbance of the fabric of space similar to those that are frequent in Metropolis. This usually means things unrelated to this dimension. It's rare for this kind of phenomenon to show up in a place like Gotham. The Justice League, however, has already had several cases like this. I must investigate it." Batman informed calmly, already making his way to the car. The boy started to follow suit, but the older man stopped him.
"No Robin, you're staying here. Keep an eye on the monitor and inform me if anything happens."
"But that's so bo-o-o-r-i-i-n-g." Robin whined "Why can't I go with you? Alfred can keep watch."
"I'm asking YOU to do it." Batman said sternly "And we don't know what we're dealing with, so until I find out, you are going to be on standby."
Robin pouted and made a face at Batman and stomped his feet loudly all the way to the computer, but settled down in the chair in front of it anyways.
"Good." Said Batman, and as he turned away, he added "If I'm done with this quick, there might still be time for a patrol."
"It's never quick." came the muttered reply, and both of them knew that it was true.
Several kilometers away, a newly made crater was carved into the ground a few meters deep, at the bottom of which lied three unconscious little girls who, trapped in their own nightmare filled with mindless zombies and fire and ruins, unaware that their predicament had just taken an unexpected turn.
I'm not good with action scene. Or maybe I'm just unable to write things with too much details. I don't really understand much of the technology Batman and the JL have either, so please understand if I cook up some completely unreal fighting or never-heard-of gadgets. I'm continuing this because it's fun.
For the sake of this story, the girls will have fingers and their appearance more normal-like.
