Year One…

It was only a few seconds later that Spider-man was with Batman, both carried by the Flash, and had linked up with Wonder Woman and Green Lantern who had the Joker and Harley Quinn subdued and restrained finally

Spider-man took a gaze at the sub and whistled at the damage while Flash released him from his grip "Man, Supe's isn't playing around"

The Joker who was pinned beneath a giant green hand made by the Green Lantern's ring saw Batman and smiled "Batsy so good to se-, wait did the Flash just carry you and Spider-man here?"

The Joker started to chuckle at that as Batman approached the Submarine "Just letting you know, I'm never letting you live that down! HAHAHAHA!"

Spider-man looked towards the Joker and narrowed his lenses at the man "Alright ya Bozo wanna be, where's Doc Ock at?"

The Joker stopped chuckling and looked towards Spider-man "Ah web head! It's been what almost a year? Love the new suit by the way, so colorful especially with the giant white spider!"

"Mister Jay it looks like the one he wore when he was all emo!" Harley said as she got a good look at Spider-man's new spider symbol color and design

The Joker nodded in agreement "How's old Norman doing anyway? Oh how I miss that pumpkin throwing maniac, you know between him and the Octopus, I was hoping he would be available but hey I ain't complaining if everything pans out like Otto and I hope"

Spider-man's fists balled as he eyes the man with his lenses narrowing into near slits "Where's Otto?"

Joker grinned at the man before looking towards Wonder Woman "Man, you really traded down after your break up with Superman huh? Tell me Spidey what's it like knowing that you'll never measure up to Superman? I mean he is the 'man of steel' if you know what I mean, see Wondy over there gets it and oh boy did she get it! HEHEHE-HAHAHAHA!"

Wonder Woman's eyes narrowed as she approached the Joker with her fist raised only to be stopped by Spider-man "Easy there, we still need him conscious and sadly capable of talking. After that go to town and rip his teeth out"

Wonder Woman took a deep breath and nodded "Fine…"

Suddenly Batman leaped out of the submarine and glared at the Joker as he approached "Where is she Joker?"

The Joker climbed to his feet as Green Lantern's construct vanished and gave the dark knight a malevolent grin. Peter at the time was looking at the sub and saw the faint traces of fumes exiting it. His suit's small built in scanner analyzed the cloud of green fumes and showed him what it was made of

'Well, there's the kryptonite and fear toxin but why is it in there…' Peter thought as he began to run over the situation in his head. He could faintly hear the others questioning the Joker on the what he's done, he heard that he operated on this Lois woman which greatly bothered him. It wasn't until the Joker said trigger and Batman ordered Flash to check on the war head that things finally became clear to him

Spider-man looked towards the Joker with his lenses wide, the Joker saw this and smirked "Well Batsy, looks like underoos here figured it out. Let's see if you can too! Go on, show us why you're the world's greatest detective Batman!"

"Spider-man?" Wonder Woman grabbed her husband's shoulder and looked at him with concern in her blue eyes "What's going on?"

Spider-man looked towards Batman "Tell Superman to stop now!"

Spider-man watched things finally become clear to the detective and with wide eyes he quickly contacted Superman "Superman! Superman can you hear me?"

"Spider-man?" Diana questioned again growing concerned

Peter looked towards her "The Kryptonite that Joker and Ock stole, they used it along with Scarecrow's fear toxin to manipulate Superman. Right now whatever he's fighting is-"

"Lois" Diana said in shock as she looked up to where Superman flew off to in horror "I heard him utter Doomsday which means…."

"He's not holding back" Green Lantern said in dread as he looked up towards where Superman went

"Oh my god" Flash said as he gripped his head in shock

Spider-man looked towards the Joker and grabbed him by his neck and held the still smirking clown prince of crime up "Where's Octavius Joker!?"

"Heh, leaving the bomb in the city so this party can really get started…." The Joker trailed off as he looked towards Batman before he began to laugh "Did you know that she was pregnant? HAHAHAHAHA!"

Peter yelled as he lifted the laughing man up and slammed him into the ground before punching him square in the face with enough force that it broke the clown's nose in a loud crack and sent blood flying on to Harley's startled face.

"Hey leave my man alone S-man!" Harley tried to get him but Flash grabbed her by the shoulder and kept her restrained

Wonder Woman was taken back by her husband's aggression as well were the Flash and Green Lantern. It was very rare from what she's heard for him to lose his composure to such a degree from his clone/brother Ben and his wife Mary Jane. But even she's heard of the days of when Spider-man donned the black suit all those years ago. It was a time when Spider-man truly went to the very edge of the abyss and rumor has it, dived right in…

"Superman it's Lois! It's Lois! Whatever your seeing isn't real!" Batman repeated in an attempt to try and prevent what was about to happen

The Joker looked up at Spider-man's masked face and smiled darkly through the blood as he whispered "…Boom Underoos"

KABOOOOOOM!

The heroes looked towards the city of Metropolis and to their horror saw a bright almost blinding light before it was replaced by a massive mushroom cloud as the City of Tomorrow was destroyed.

"Oh my god" the Flash said in horror at the sight before him as he and the rest watched millions get wiped out in the span of a few seconds either from the blast itself for the now crumbling buildings

"Hope the Octopus got out of there in time" Joker said with a grin as he looked towards Spider-man frozen form "That we he can enjoy our work! And I did promise him that after Supe's we'd come pay you a visit next web head! HEHEHEHE-"

"Shut up!" Wonder Woman yelled as she turned and rammed her fist into the Joker's gut and caused him to fall to the ground couching up a bit of blood and stop his maddening laugh

"Mister Jay!" Harley said as she kneeled down to check on her pudding

"You see Harley, all they do is hurt you over and over again. Heroes my pale white ass" Joker choked out with a pained chuckle

Spider-man took a step forward and looked at the devastation in shock 'How could Otto do this? Why would he do this?'

He felt Diana slowly wrap her arms around him and pull him close. He instinctually returned the embrace as he rubbed Diana's back and he rested his head against hers. He could faintly feel tears trailing down his face through his under his mask

Batman grabbed the Joker and placed a call for his jet and quietly said "I'll take the Joker back to Gotham. Flash, Lantern, Wonder Woman… evacuate the outlying areas."

"And Spider-man?" Diana said quietly as she hugged her husband

"…He'll come with me. Spider-man… there isn't anything you or I can do here at the moment" Batman said

A few moments passed as Flash and Green Lantern took off to help evacuate any possible survivors. Peter looked towards Batman and nodded

"Can I uh have a few seconds with my wife please?" Peter asked quietly

Batman nodded as he dragged Joker and Harley towards the approaching Jet. Peter looked towards Diana's face and placed his forehead against hers

"I should have figured it out sooner" Peter mumbled

"Peter…" Diana said as she took her husband's face and held it in her hands and made him look at her "This isn't your fault. No one could have predicted this…"

"Diana, Otto is one of my baddies and I know that the Joker wouldn't have gotten this far without him" Peter said as she looked back towards the now destroyed city for a moment before taking a deep breath and pulling up his mash until it reached his eyebrows "Now I have possibly another clone Spider-man running around to top it all off and Otto is god knows where…"

"Do you want me to contact Ben? Let him know what's happened" Diana asked as she stroked her husband's cheek

"No…" Peter said taking her hand in his "I'll do it, besides it won't be long until he and the rest of the world find out about this."

The two stood there in silence for a moment as they watched the City of Tomorrow be consumed by nuclear fire and radiation. Batman's jet had landed and he was currently placing Joker and Harley in a small section that he reserves for criminals he has to transport by air.

Peter let out a long sigh "After I help Bats with the Joker… I'm going after Otto. He's too smart to have let something like this take him out and something tells me that this is… this isn't over yet. Not by a longshot…"

Diana looked at Peter in concern before nodding and giving him a passionate kiss on his lips "Be careful my love…"

Peter gave her a sad smile "Aren't I always?"

Diana smiled sadly with a few tears coming down her face as she pulled down Peter's mask "This is not how I hoped our anniversary would go…"

"Same" Peter said as he began to make his way towards the Batman's Jet who was waiting for him

Diana watched him go for a moment before looking towards the city and heading off to see if she can find Clark.

'Hera knows how he's taking this' Diana thought as she soared towards the once populous city of eight million people now likely reduced to zero all because of the actions of a mad clown and a twisted scientist


And done.
