What no reviews? You guys are heartless. Nah, just screwin' with ya.

The Plot Thickens

"Bruce, are you sure about this?"

"Positive. This theory has been running through my head for a long time. If there are dimensions where there are alternate versions of us, it must logically follow that there must be SOME world where we don't exist. I think we've finally found residents of one."

Louise watched the bat man talking to a strange window, on the other side of which was a man with very bright clothes, and a strange S symbol. She wasn't sure what it meant.

"How's the boy?"

"He's stopped laughing, but the smile hasn't gone away. That should take another few hours or so."

"So… you think it's connected to the disappearing League members?"

"Not a doubt in my mind."

"Missing league members?" asked Louise.

"We've recently been trying to get into contact with other members of the Justice League. But all contact's been lost since yesterday. We don't know where they are or what they're doing."

"Listen to me peasant girl… when a noble tells you to… !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The noble man went flying across the street, as a teenage girl picked him up by his neck, and threw him, nowhere near as hard as she could.

"Why you little... Hwaugrn!"

A man with no face socked the remaining man in the stomach, and then grabbed his arm and flipped him over his shoulder, before punching him in the head while he was on the ground.

"Nice touch," Supergirl commented.

"You fools!" the nobleman said. "Do you understand what the government will do to you."

"If you weren't so busy being a tool of the government," The Question told him, "you'd understand what they're doing to control your water supply."

"OH! HERE WE GO!" Green Arrow shouted, throwing his hands into the air. "Thanks fancy boy thanks so much!"

The three left the battered bruised noblemen, as the Question regaled them with his conspiracy theory of this new world.

"So you think your friends are in our world?" Louise said.

"No doubt," said Batman. They were out of the Bat cave now, and he had taken off his costume Kirche was eyeing at the rather large muscles on their host's body. "And I think that more people are more likely than not going to be, or already have been brought over."

"Wow," said Kirche with a voice dripping with intent to seduce, "strong and a genius. Just my…"

"Don't. I mean it," Bruce said, not even needing to look at her to make her stuff it. Louise shot her a grin full of dislike, while the corners of Tabitha's mouth twitched slightly.

"Uh, master Bruce?" said an old looking butler. He seemed quite anxious about something.

"What is it Alfred?"

"Two Face," said a boy who looked to be in his early twenties. "He disappeared right out of his cell in Arkham. The strange thing is, the electronic records say the door was never opened; there are no signs of any kind of a break out. I get the feeling that it has something to do with whatever brought our guests here."

"Ooh, str-"

"Don't start," advised Dick Grayson, leaving Kirche with her mouth hanging open.

"And there's something else."

Meanwhile, Louise had come to a sudden realization. The maid wasn't here!

Siesta was the only one in the room where Saito was resting. Though he had stopped laughing, a disturbing grin was still on his face, and his teeth were clenched tightly. Siesta held his hand tightly in her own, trying to look him in the eye.

"Saito…" she said. She wasn't sure if he could hear her, as his grinning face made it appear that he was completely oblivious to the world around him. "Um… I'm sorry that… the man with white skin… he…"

Tears began to well up in her eyes, and she looked away from him. Then she noticed Saito's other hand, which was twitching. It slowly rose up and moved towards the hand holding his. His head turned towards hers, the twisted grin showing his teeth. He moved the hand closer and closer… when Louise burst into the room. His hand fell limply, as if the shock of the door opening sapped him of his strength. Louise stared at Saito's turned head, and Siesta's hand clenching Saito's. She ground her teeth and stared daggers at them.

Louise had dragged Siesta to another part of the mansion.

"Stay away from my familiar!" she yelled at the maid.

"Why?" Siesta asked in a voice that almost sounded like she was begging. "He looks so lonely in there!"

Louise ground her teeth. She couldn't really punish Saito this time, since he was on his sickbed, and Siesta wasn't really HER servant.

"Because… because… BECAUSE!" she was furious, and struggling to find a good reason. The only real reason was that she was mad that Siesta thought of it first. Unbeknownst to her, Kirche was already making her way up to Saito's room.

"Here," said Nightwing to Batman.

"Oh no…"

Batman walked backwards, staring at the grisly scene before him. Two men lay there, with their bodies slashed open, by an axe like weapon. On the wall was written, "The Phantasm is Forever!"

There you have it. Please review so that I know what's good, and what needs to go.
