World's Finest
The second episode, enjoy and like always leave a review, good or bad, it has to be constructive though and thanks.
2019/ Monday/ September 14th
Helena had been on her laptop monitoring Batman constantly, this world's Bat Family had her complete undivided attention, especially each of the Robins, they were all so different and unique, Dick was pretty much the same, wise-cracking, immature, dare devil. The second one named Jason, who was apparently this Red Hood character she heard so much about, was violent and impulsive, he also died once. Tim or Red Robin was the most reserved, he was darker than Dick was but much lighter than Jason or Damian, he also seemed to be more of a thinker than others. Damian was the most similar to her father, but he still had the snotty and bratty personality traits of an entitled prick. Still this Batman was much younger and less wise than her father, her dad was in his early 40s the last time she saw him, and this Batman was only 10 years older than she was. That's crazy; he also seemed a lot less friendly and a whole lot more violent too. She'd love to meet them, but she swore she wouldn't connect with anyone so she could return to Earth-2 without any regrets, but it was becoming increasingly hard to stay away from her would be Family.
-Power Girl-
She couldn't stop thinking about Nightwing, he was definitely the type to make a huge impression on people. She didn't exactly like how he was so insistent on knowing who she was, the Earth 2 Grayson wasn't anywhere near as "nosey" as Helena and her father was, maybe he didn't trust her or maybe it was innocent curiosity, or could it have been something else? Whatever it was the thought of not knowing bothered her to no end. She was sure that he probably wouldn't come up to her again, after all Vigilantes, especially Gotham ones aren't exactly popular with everybody. A few hours later, she left the office and decided to return to her penthouse apartment so she could look into a few other heroes in this universe, it wouldn't be hard to learn about the Superman and Wonder Woman of this universe, since they were the most famous heroes in the Universe, she would look into Batman, but she knew Helena had that covered from head to toe. Besides she had to go to an opening Gala sponsored by the Wayne Foundation, so there was no doubt in her mind, that she would end up meeting Bruce Wayne and she was sure Helena would want to attend, she had to find a way to go without informing Helena, that would be difficult, and to be honest she was starting to have second thoughts, believe me if there is one thing Helena Wayne knows, it's to get even and if Karen tries anything Helena will get her back 1,000x worse and it won't be pretty. She figured she would just take her chances, after all it's not like she had anything to worry about, except for Nightwing knowing she's Power Girl. Ok, so maybe she should'nt have been so shocked when he asked who she was, that was a little unprofessional, I mean she practically told him who she was, but she knew who he was too, and even though she would never reveal Helena's (technically) family's secret, it was still nice to have a her own set of playing cards just in case.
Gotham City 8:45 pm
-Batman-
Bruce was preparing himself for the opening Gala for Wayne Industries, it was being held at the manor, so he asked someone for a favor regarding patrolling Gotham, since he had no real time to take care of it, he asked begrudgingly asked the Birds of Prey to do him a favor, it didn't very long with Starling after she found out Bruce's identity and began constantly flirting with him, Katanna agreed, Ivy he still didn't trust but she decided to help, provided he build a nature reserve in one of the abandoned parks in Gotham, and Dinah as well as Barbara were attending the Gala, he thought between the 3 of the other birds, they could take care of it. He left his room to see Dick Grayson his 20 year old adopted son, Tim Drake the 15 or almost 16 year old, and Damian Wayne his 10 year old biological son, the three were waiting for him by the door with Alfred.
They arrived at the Gala and several women came swooning over Bruce and Dick who were avoiding them the best they could, Tim snuck off to grab a bite and Damian disappeared entirely. Bruce and Dick managed to sneak by and Bruce gave a quick speech, about their project and how it would help the world. Dick was looking around aimlessly and noticed Karen Starr sitting at one of the tables, this intrigued him greatly but he decided it would be best to stay away for now, after all if she's anything like her cousin or Supergirl, pissing her off would not be a great idea. So it looks like he would be using a different angle today, but for now, he should keep on the down low, and stay out of sight.
-Power Girl-
It had been a pretty boring night, she saw plenty of people all around, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves and Gotham seemed like a normal city, but she knew all too well, this city hosted possibly-the most dangerous non-meta human psychopaths the world will ever know. She also noticed that Dick and his brothers attended as well, He was over by the buffet table drinking some lemonade, Tim or Red Robin (how un-original) was talking to some blonde girl, and she still hadn't seen Damian at all, this world's Robin, was different, in her world Dick Grayson had a much different costume, for starters the three colors involved were green, red and yellow. Yet this version and all his successors had red and black color schemes for each of their costumes. It was rather interesting to compare both world's differences and similarities. But one thing remained the same, she found him attractive, very attractive, and back on Earth-2 she always loved to see him skipping around in Kevlar pajamas. But that was then, this is now and she didn't have time to flirt like some school girl. She needed to get home and would do whatever it took.
-Red Robin-
Tim had been enjoying himself, he was hanging out with his yearlong girlfriend Stephanie Brown and was enjoying just relaxing after a weeklong case on a series of abductions at the hands of a sexual predator. He and Spoiler teamed up and managed to bring this guy down and give him a lifelong prison sentence. But compared to the average psycho in Gotham, the dude was a saint.
"Finally decided to take a night off huh?" Stephanie asked Tim as she munched on some popcorn shrimp
"Yeah, well Bruce said he'd have someone cover for us in Gotham and the Titans can last a few days with Kid Flash without me." Tim said as he took a sip of his drink
"And that means?" Stephanie asked stepping a little closer to him
"I'm all yours" Tim replied as he was about to kiss her. They were interrupted by a VERY un-expected guest, in the form of Jason Peter Todd Wayne, everyone in the room turned their faces towards Tim and his older brother, Stephanie was shocked too, and Bruce looked surprised as well, Dick was eating a piece of cake when he dropped his plate and fork at the same time. Jason had his arms on both Tim and Stephanie's shoulders.
"Sup little brother" Jason replied with a fake smile
"Jason? Wha? How?" Tim asked perplexed
People were staring from all over the place, "My it's Bruce's deceased son, the one that died in a bombing in Sarajevo", "and He's alive? How'd that happen?"
-Batman-
Bruce had not been expecting this at all, Jason had come back into the public spot light? Just what was he planning or, did he really want to come home? Probably not, those two never did patch things up and he never came to terms with his own death. But why would he be here of all places. By now, Jason had started walking towards Bruce and they were staring face to face. Bruce didn't want to give away his identity as Batman, so he played along.
"Jason?" Bruce asked faking surprise
"In the flesh" Jason replied
Bruce gave him a hug and welcomed Jason back to the family, so to speak, and everyone cheered and was happy. Then Bruce and his family excused themselves and went outside.
Bruce, Tim, Dick and Damian who had come from god knows where came to confront him. Dick spoke up first "Why are you here Jason?"
Jason held up his hands in mock defense "What can't say hi to my family?" Bruce then replied "The last time, we saw each other you almost killed me"
"Well you let Joker, get away with blowing me up" Jason answered back calmly
"This little sob story again? It's your fault, you went against father's orders and were too high strung to follow directions, it's your own fault you got killed" Damian replied bluntly while crossing his arms
"Ouch" Jason said
"Look, let's all calm down" Tim spoke up before he was cut off once again by Stephanie Brown arriving
"You never told me about a third brother Tim, neither of you did" Stephanie snapped
"It wasn't your business" Bruce replied flatly
"No Steph, we were planning on" Dick tried to say before Damian finished for him
"Why should you care, you're an amateur any way"
"Been at this longer than you, and why don't you put a lid on it before I MAKE you" Stephanie shot back cracking her knuckles
"I've been an assasine since I was eight and your boyfriend here can barely go toe to toe with the likes me, what could you possibly do?" Damian asked arrogantly
"Last time I checked Damian, I kicked your ass" Tim replied glaring at him
"Yeah, but you had to fight me with a staff" Damian said in his defense
"You use a sword, from time to time" Tim said back
"And if I had it, I would have won" Damian replied
"Enough! Alright Jason, tell us what you want already" Dick said
"I need to talk to you guys about something" Jason said
"Like what" Bruce asked
"A new vigilante by the name of Huntress" Jason finished
Huntress and Power Girl
Huntress and Power Girl were standing on top of a building watching from afar. Helena was using binoculars to see what's going on.
"Helena, one of them is all ready on to you" Power Girl pointed out
"Don't sweat it, the only one who actually saw me is Damian and even then he hardly knows who I am." Helena reassured Power Girl
"Whatever you say" Karen replied
-Red Hood-
"This new character, she's good, in fact she just took out a powerful mob down in New York last week, and I've been following this character all over the globe lately" Jason said
"So you're a stalker now, so what?" Dick asked
"You don't get it, she does things exactly like us only she's killing off the head bosses of the mob" Jason answered
"I see" Bruce concluded
"Well I suppose we'd all better keep an eye out for her" Tim said
"Fine then, I'll leave Gotham to see what I can learn from my end" Nightwing answered
"Me, Stephanie, and the Teen Titans will keep an eye out for her too" Tim said as well
"So the whole family's on board? Good." Jason said as he walked back to the party
As everyone walked away Bruce was in a deep train of thought, a new vigilante that doesn't mind blood could be a huge problem indeed, he would need to have something done about this.
-Power Girl and Huntress-
"What does he mean, lethal force Helena?!" Power Girl asked angrily
"They were criminals" Helena answered solemnly
"Criminals?! You can't go around killing every bad guy you see!" Power Girl shouted
"They gave me no choice! The 5 mob bosses I took down each had connections to the police department in Gotham; they would be out in days and do it again, so I finished them." Helena answered in a cold tone
"Do you hear yourself!? Your father and mother never killed! Under any circumstance, what would they think about this?" Power Girl asked in a pleading tone
"Shut up!" Helena said angrily as she punched her friend
Power Girl didn't move an inch and Helena swore she may have almost broken her hand. But she angrily went on "What do you know huh? Sure you lost your parents! But did you see them die? DID YOU?!" Huntress yelled now crying
Power Girl didn't answer at all, and simply began to fly away "I thought we were friends, I guess I was wrong" and she zoomed off back toward New York. Leaving a distraught and crying Huntress on the rooftop.
