We were in Kara's apartment the moment we walked out of the breach.
"Wow! I gotta say, this is still a very nice apartment." Cisco said while being amazed by the surroundings. Kara grinned, "Thank you."
"Let's head to the DEO first, then we'll talk about this Doomsday with J'onn." I said.
She nodded, "You still remember the way?"
"Yeah, think you can keep up, Girl of Steel?" I teased. She laughed when I used her nick name.
"Oh, just you watch, Scarlet Speedster." She replied and flew out the apartment immediately. I grabbed Cisco and ran out of her apartment.
National City was similar to Central City. Unlike Star City, both cities are located in West Coast and don't rain very often, let alone a storm hurling through the sky.
It's been 2 years since I've stepped foot in this city, but I loved the scenery. Especially a golden statue for Supergirl right in front of the National City Police Department.
I followed her and ran into DEO. Then I stopped in front of a big screen, dropping Cisco, "Man, it never gets old, running with you."
"You cheat!" Supergirl said, who walked towards us from behind.
"You've gotten sloppy." I said, "Even I've retired for a year, I'm still faster than you."
"Supergirl! Glad you found help." An African American stepped out from his office, "It's good to see you again Mr. Allen, and Mr. Ramon."
I shook his hand, remembering last year encounter with J'onn over the...Music Meister incident. Cisco marveled around the DEO, "Wow. This is awesome. Is that a spaceship?" He pointed at Kara's spacecraft. She nodded.
"Damn, I gotta take a photo. Barry, help me." Cisco handed me a phone and walked towards the spaceship. I tried to stop but I couldn't.
"Mr. Ramon, even though I'm grateful for your effort last year, I'm afraid I can't allow Mr. Allen here to take a photograph for you." J'onn said.
"Yeah, but we're from another Earth..."
"Look, man. The first time I breached into this Earth I couldn't take a photograph of it." I pointed, "In fact, we shouldn't have known this place."
"Well, usually normal people can never know this place. But since you two are from different Earth and helped us a year ago I decided to let that pass." A brunette woman walked out from an elevator, "It's nice to meet you finally, Barry Allen." She offered her hand.
I shook, "How did you know my name? And who are you?"
"Oh, how rude of me. I'm Alex Danvers."
"Alex Danvers. As in..."
"Yep. That's my sister." Kara said, "How's Maggie?"
"Great! Other than the fact that Doomsday had just come out again and lay wasted the Yellowstone National Park."
"Yeah...about that..." We all turned to J'onn, whose face became very serious, "I invited visitors who can help us to kill Doomsday. They should be here in an hour."
"So...what do we do?" Kara asked.
"There's someone I want you guys to meet, follow me. " J'onn said.
We all followed J'onn and walked into the conference room, only to find a man with black-haired, probably mid-30s, sitting on a chair as if nothing wrong was happening.
"Kara Danvers. Bruce Wayne." He said.
"How did you know my name?" Kara asked.
"Because I know your cousin, Clark Kent." He replied.
"Oh, okay."
"And you two are..." He turned to Cisco and I. I glanced at J'onn, who nodded his head, "I'm Barry Allen."
"And I'm Cisco Ramon. I'm assuming you're a superhero?"
"Yeah. It's called the Batman."
"Oh, my Rao!" Kara screamed, "You're the Gotham Vigilante!"
"Yes, I'm." He nodded, crossing his legs.
"Batman? That's lame." Cisco said, "I'm assuming your suit is black, right?" He frowned but nodded, "Ok, I got this. Ah! Dark Viligante...no. That's lame. How about...Dark Archer? Wait, that was taken. Um... The Dark Knight! Yes, The Dark Knight. Much better." He grinned at his latest masterpiece.
Kara, Alex, and J'onn frowned at his reaction. "He usually does the naming thing. Back in Central City, we encountered metahumans with different abilities. So we needed something to identify them." I said.
Not amused, Bruce asked, "So which one of you is the Blur?"
'How did he know one of us is the Flash?' I thought.
"It's the Flash. And it's me. Cisco is Vibe." I answered.
"Never heard of him."
"Yeah, that's because they are from another Earth." After Kara replied, Bruce stared at us as if we're some kind of dinosaurs.
"A parallel Earth?" I nodded, "It's a long story."
"Aliens, I get it. But parallel Earths? How?" A man walked in, but a blue shirt and a red cape, with an 'S' on his chest.
"Hey, cousin!" Kara grinned, "It's good to see you again!" The last son and daughter of Krypton hugged each other, "It's good to see you too." After they broke, he turned to us, "You two are..."
"Barry Allen, The Flash." I said.
"Cisco Ramon, also known as Vibe."
"Clark Kent, Superman." And he turned to Kara, "So that's the Barry..." Kara immediately cut him off. I frowned at what happened while Cisco and Alex grinned like idiots.
It was merely my imagination, wasn't it?
~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~
So later on, we met Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman (Courtesy of Cisco); and Hal Jordan, aka Green Lantern.
"So this is some kind of alliance..." Before Diana can finish, Cisco cut in, "Justice League. Nailed it!"
"Whatever. Anyway, thank you for coming. As we all know, right now this country is facing an imminent threat. Doomsday has terrorized 7 major cities for the past week." J'onn said while showing pictures of this grey-deformed creature destroying everything in its path.
"Now thanks to Superman and Supergirl, Doomsday hid in underground. But yesterday, he destroyed the Yellowstone National Park."
"Excuse me, how's this creature created?" Hal asked.
"It was an experiment conducted by an organization called CADMUS, which they shut it down for some reason. But apparently, someone continues its mission and created this thing." Superman said.
"We suspected it was Maxwell Lord, but only to realize it was someone else." Alex added, "Lex Luthor."
"Lex Luthor broke into Area 51 a few months ago and created this deformity using General Zod's body." J'onn continued.
"General Zod?" I asked. Right now I'm pretty sure Cisco and I couldn't catch up.
"General Zod was a general from my planet. He attempted a coup before the destruction of Krypton, therefore the judge sent him and his men into Phantom Zone. But he got out and he tried to terraformed Earth into Krypton before I came here." Kara said.
"Oh. Not a great plan." Cisco commented, "But I am assuming that this Lex guy used some Kryptonian technology, right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?" J'onn asked.
"Well, as far as I can tell, this Earth's technology is far behind from my Earth. And I'm excluding any alien technology of course." Cisco said.
"Wait, this Earth?" Hal and Diana asked.
"We come from Earth-1." I said, "And yes, there are infinite Earths in the multiverse. BTW, this is Earth-38."
"So since this Earth is far behind from mine, I guessed it must be some kind of alien technology. And since it's made of this Zod's body, so it must be Kryptonian technology." Cisco finished his assumption, "I have to say, General Zod, that's not a good name. Something maybe..."
Beep. Beep. Beep.
We rushed out of the room, a world map was shown on the big screen. A red dot was on top of National City.
"What's going on?" Bruce asked.
"Doomsday. It's here." J'onn said.
"Wait, Doomsday is here?" Cisco yelled, surprised at the fact that the deformity was already here, "As in it's already in National City?"
"Not quite. But Doomsday is running towards the city." J'onn replied. He turned to us (or Justice League to Cisco), "It's time." We all nodded, and immediately, I rushed into a room with no one and quickly put on my suit.
Even after a year, it's still as comfortable as ever.
"I see you're wearing the suit again. " Kara said. I turned around and saw she's leaning at the door. "A year ago I never thought I would be wearing this suit again, let alone travel to another universe and save the day. " I said.
"Does that mean I have changed your mind?" She took a step closer, crossing her arms in front of her family's coat of arms.
"Yeah. I don't know how, but talking to you did smooth things out."
"That's good to know." She smiled and took another step. I stared at her brown eyes, almost felt like I was drawn to it.
"Yo! Lovebirds!" We took a step back and saw Cisco grinning crazy, "As much as I would like to leave you two alone, we need to go. Oh, by the way, you guys are definitely getting a ship name" He turned around and left us alone. We giggled at what we just did.
"Save the day?" I asked.
"Save the day." She confirmed.
~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~
While Diana (or Wonder Woman), Superman, Green Lantern, and Kara flew to the desert next to the city, the first place where I met Kara when I breached into Earth-38. I picked up Cisco and ran there. Bruce, on the other hand, rode in his own Batmobile. J'onn and Alex stayed at the DEO headquarters to monitor the situation.
Before we left, Alex hooked the comm from my suit to the DEO and gave others small headsets which can be hidden on the ears easily.
"Any reasons why we fight here?" Hal asked, flowing in the air.
"This is the unpopulated area of the city. Even if something went wrong, the citizens will have time to evacuate." Bruce replied. I admired at his strategy; he reminded me of Oliver on Earth-1. I wondered if there's an Oliver Queen who became the Green Arrow on this Earth.
"There he is, beware of his attacks!" Diana said. Not far away, a gray deformity approached us. I looked at Kara, who looked back. Then I turned to Cisco, who put on his goggles.
"Does that thing has any weakness?" I asked.
"No." I stared at Clark with surprised. He shrugged, "Not that we know of."
"Ok. I'm gonna try hitting him with a lightning bolt." I said and quickly ran to the killing machine. When I got closer, it had noticed me and tried to hit me with its left hand. I ducked and running circles around him. The electricity around me definitely got its attention because it started slugging on the trail. Whenever its arms went into my path I jumped over it.
I recalled my experience with King Shark. Though this time was different because Doomsday was much larger than the giant-talking-shark. Probably triple the height. One lap can create approximately 3050 volts of electricity. To knock out a human being you need around 50,000 volts. Equivalent to 16 laps of running.
"Barry, you need more than 16 laps to do your lightning bolt trick. " Cisco spoke through the comm. 'Thanks, Cisco. For stating the obvious.' I thought.
I ran for about 60 laps and aimed at Doomsday. The electricity followed my lead and made a direct hit. 187500 volts of electricity should be able to knock him out. Or at least I thought. Instead of knocking him out, the electricity gathered around him. Its eyes were glowing red. I could feel it, not sure how, but it's getting stronger.
"Uh, guys! What's happening?" I asked.
"It's harnessing energy." Bruce spoke through the comm, "Barry, get back here now." I quickly ran back, "Totally didn't think this will happen."
Suddenly there's a blast of energy hitting us. Cisco, Bruce and I quickly hid behind the rocks while the others flew to the sky. Luckily the city is far enough that the energy blast could not reach.
"Really? It's your fault that it's getting stronger." Hal complained.
"Come on, Clark didn't exactly tell us it feeds on energy." Cisco backed me up, "But now that we know. If we figure out a way to counteract that..."
"We can kill it." Kara finished.
"Yeah. That's exactly what I'm gonna say." Cisco said.
Doomsday rushed towards us and punched on the ground. We quickly diverged into separate ways. The shockwave due to the punch was intense. After it faded, Diana cut the monster's leg with her sword. But it did no harm to the creature. Instead, she was punched in the face. Hal used his ring to create a fist and punched the deformity. Yet, the fist dissolved the moment it hit the laser beams from Doomsday. I saw Bruce quickly ran back to his Batmobile and grabbed a bazooka. He inserted the bomb into the bazooka and fired toward the creature.
Truth be told, I found Bruce firing at Doomsday weird because Bruce knew that the deformity will not be harmed. But my confusion was erased the moment green gas exposed around the creature.
Kryptonite gas.
Since that thing was created based on General Zod's body, it should be weakened by the kryptonite. That explains why Clark and Kara never thought of it, as they will also be affected by the kryptonite.
Due to the hazardous gas, Kara and Clark flew as far as possible. Cisco threw shockwave against Doomsday, trying to delay his recovery. I ran at super speed and threw punches to where its stomach would probably be. The monster roared at the pain. Its eyes glowed again.
"Oh boy..." I mumbled and quickly grabbed everyone away from the monster. An energy blast exploded. Bruce, Cisco and I hid behind another rock and waited until the blast died down. Kara and Clark grabbed Doomsday's arm and quickly flew it to the mountain and hit it. I ran over there and punched it with super speed. Bruce fired another Kryptonite Gas and weakened the creature. Diana tied a golden noose around its body in an attempt to immobilize it. But the deformity fired its laser eyes at Diana and she was forced to let loose the noose.
"This isn't going to work. " Cisco commented.
"Any ideas, guys?" Diana complained.
"Hey Clark, Kara. Have you guys tried freeze breath?" I asked.
"No. Why?" Clark asked.
"If you two use freeze breath on Doomsday, it will actually lower its temperature. Meaning its internal energy will plummet severely." I said while trying to explain physics as simple as possible, "If its internal energy is decreased, it's possible that it needs longer time to recharge. Since, you know, it operates based on energy."
"Besides, if that thing is frozen, we may slow it down. " Diana said.
"Hence we'll have a greater chance at winning this thing." Bruce finished.
"We'll try. Let's go cousin." Kara nodded. And the Kryptonians flew above Doomsday, which was gathering energy from the surroundings.
Ice began forming around Doomsday. The electricity gathered around it became weaker and weaker. The freeze breath must be working. After a while, the ice had fully covered the monster. Kara and her cousin flew back to us.
"Now what?" Cisco asked.
"Can you throw him into space?" Bruce asked Hal, who grinned.
A giant green hand formed from Hal's ring. It grabbed the ice and both of them immediately headed to space. Clark flew with Hal in case Doomsday were able to break out of the ice.
"They must have broken the sound barrier. " Diana commented the moment we heard a sonic boom from the sky.
Moments later, Hal and Clark slowly descended from the sky, "J'onn, where's Doomsday?" Kara asked.
"In outer space orbiting at the escape velocity." J'onn said.
~~~~~~~Line Break~~~~~~
We headed back to the DEO with a round of applause from the agents.
"Thank you, all of you. " Alex said.
"Yeah, this is what we do." Hal said, "But does anyone also think that this is a little bit easy?"
"I agree." Bruce said, "Maybe we should have a chat with Lex Luthor, see if there's anything else that he's planning." J'onn nodded at the suggestion.
'If that was easy, then why did Kara bring me here?' I thought to myself. I glanced at Kara and decided to talk to her later.
We all followed J'onn, who led us to the room which held Lex Luthor captive.
"Well, well, well. I never thought I would have guests." A blonde long-haired man, standing in the room. His back facing us, but I could tell he's definitely wearing a white suit. A glass separated him from us. That must be Lex Luthor. He turned around, showing us his face.
"Um, I never thought you'd be here. Clark Joesph Kent, aka Kal-El." He told Clark, who glared at him, "And this young lady. Your niece?"
"Cousin." Kara spat. Lex shrugged. He turned to Cisco and me, crossing his arms, "I've never seen you two before. You new?"
"We didn't come here to chit-chat." Cisco tried his best to impersonate Lenard Snart. If we were not interrogating I would be laughing at his tone.
"And you?" He asked me. Instead of answering, I ignored him. He shrugged when he realize I was ignoring his question.
"Why did you created Doomsday?" Bruce asked, trying to bring intel out of him as soon as possible.
"Why not? You see, these guys..." He pointed at Clark and Kara, "they come from the sky. All they brought upon us are destructions and death."
"So what's your point? Prove that they are all powerful? Powerful enough to kill the entire human race?" I asked.
"They flew too close to our sun..." He mumbled, "See, what we call God depends upon our tribe. God takes sides. No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from Daddy's fist and abominations. I figured out way back if God is all-powerful, he cannot be all good. And if he is all good, then he cannot be all-powerful. Now, since the two of you are extremely powerful, then you cannot be all-good."
"So you want to destroy them." Diana commented.
"Obviously. I gave the bat a fighting chance. But he won't do it. If Man won't kill God, then the Devil will do it." Lex replied.
"Well, your so-called devil is now orbiting in outer space. So how exactly is the devil going to kill them again?" Cisco asked.
"I said the devil will do it, but..." He stared right into my eyes as if he knew of my origins: the fact that Cisco and I came from another Earth. "...who says Doomsday is the devil? This is, after all, a chess."
'Oh god. Bruce was right. This is just the first act of his plan.' I thought.

Hey guys! Thanks for reading. I know the grammar can be a little bit off, but I am working on it. Just like Kara, English isn't my first language. I hope you all can support me and continue reading this story.
I know my writing can be sucks. Especially the fight scene. But I hope you all can support me and perhaps give suggestions on how to write the fight scenes better. Anyway, until next time!
