Chapter X
Gotham City (DC Universe)
Ben is seen heading off to find Mr. Fries or as he is known also is Mr. Freeze. Ben managed to get past the Penguin's security systems and got to where he is being kept. Batman warned him to be careful and Ben knew why. Batman warned him about how despite his tragic past he will harm anyone that gets in the way.
Still, if Penguin has his ice gun then chances are he won't be much of a threat. He makes it to the room where he finds a pale looking man behind a glass container. He also appears to have some sort of blue tube on his chest. Must be keeping him alive since he doubts the container he is in is in sub-zero temperature.
Ben walks over and taps on the window. "You all right? Can you hear me?" he asked to see if Mr. Freeze can hear him through the glass.
Freeze slowly nods as he appears to be breathing heavily. Ben taps on the window to get an idea of what he is dealing with. It's pretty strong, but not for him. Ben has Sym shapeshift his hands to two axe blades.
He motions for Freeze to get back, which he does as Ben begins slashing on the glass. Cracking it after two strikes without going too hard since he didn't want to risk hurting the guy. He is about to break through when someone broke through the wall nearby. It was a large one-armed man with a long blade on his back.
He takes out his scythe weapon as four of Penguin's men emerged next to him. "I shall slice you into pieces, American," said the foreign tall man.
Ben quickly used his web to trap two of the men as the tall man swings his weapon. Ben bends back just as the blade missed him. The tall man swings his weapon again, but Ben leaps backwards and fires his web from his wrist. He pulls the weapon away and leaps over to kick the man in the chest.
Knocking him into the wall as two of the Penguin's men gang up on Ben. Ben though pushed them both off and grabs one of the men. He lifts him up and tossed him into the other. He then fires some web at the two men trapping them both. Ben turns his attention to the tall man when he saw him tossing a fuel container at him.
The fuel container and sends Ben flying to the wall. Ben felt a little out of it from the attack. He could feel Sym was the same as Ben struggled to get up. He then felt the tall man grab him and toss him into some more containers.
They exploded and knock Ben across the room. Ben groaned loudly in pain as he felt himself trying to recover. The tall man grabs his weapon and manages to tear the web off. He then goes over and goes to stab Ben.
However, Ben's Spider-Sense goes off and managed to recover. He sees a nearby fuel container and fires a web. He pulls on it and it hits the tall man from behind. He is sent flying over Ben as the young hero used this chance to recover.
He feels Sym recovering too and Ben rushes over to kick the man right in the chest. Sending him through the metal gate. Ben grabs the gate and begins pulling them to trap the criminal. Ben then punches the tall man and knocks him out.
Ben begins panting a little as he catches his breath. "That was… a little tougher than I…thought," he could feel Sym speaking to him as Ben took out some chocolate from his belt. "You deserved a lot of chocolates buddy."
Sym took the chocolate as he receded and Ben's spider suit appears again. He was going to go free Freeze, when he noticed a control panel behind where Freeze is being kept. It looks like this is how they got him inside the exhibit. Ben hacks into the panel and manages to open it as Freeze slowly steps out.
He sees him falling out of the room, but Ben manages to catch him. He then sets him down to help him catch his breath.
"You all right, Mister Fries, sir?"
"I…I will be fine. Thanks to you," said Mr. Freeze as Ben helps set him down. "You know who I am then? Yet I don't know who you are. I assume are here with Batman?"
"Pretty much," said Ben as he noticed the guy's skin is not just pale in color, but really cold. "I'm Spider-Man and I was sent here to find you. We were told you were working on a cure for the Joker. Is that true?"
Freeze rests against the wall and nods. "Didn't have much of a choice. But none of that matters right now. I want Cobblepot. He has my suit."
"Batman is already ahead of you on that, but we will deal with the fat bird. We need the cure," Ben explained how the Joker poisoned the people of Gotham and how they need to get the cure to save them.
"I understand, but it seems you and Batman don't understand," said Mr. Freeze as he explains he needs his suit in order to complete his work. "Everything depends on it. Everything."
"I see…so if we get the suit back then you will be able to finish the cure? We can get it then," Ben figured Batman will be able to get the suit with ease, but first. "Penguin has your ice gun. Batman told me he needs to find a way to get passed it. Do you know a way around it?"
Mr. Freeze lets out a soft laugh as he turns to the boy. "Do I look like a fool? Why would I tell you that?"
Ben kneels down in front of the criminal and replied. "Because if we can't get past it then you won't be able to get your suit. You'll end up locked up again. So please, help us and we will help you. Okay?"
Freeze looks to the boy and knew he shouldn't tell him anything about his suit. He could easily fool him into getting him his suit back and then deal with Penguin. However, he knew time is running out and he needs his suit back soon. If he has any chance of getting his wife back.
"There's a security override chip I built into the suit to stop anyone using my weapons against me," Mr. Freeze replied. "I'm sure Batman can figure out a way to use it to help override the ice gun and stop Cobblepot."
Ben nods as he helps Freeze up before leaving for a moment to speak to Oracle. "Hey, Oracle. You got all of that?"
"Yeah, I'll let Batman know. In the meantime, get Freeze to his suit. I'm sure Batman has already found it and will find a way to use the security override to take out the weapon," said Oracle as she begins relaying the information to Batman.
"You got it. Did he save the hostages?" Ben asked as he sees Freeze managing to walk on his own power.
"He got to them, but when you get to where the suit is at take it to Freeze. I don't trust him and don't want to risk him trying anything with the hostages around," said Oracle who knew Freeze will do anything to get his wife back. Even if it means hurting anyone who gets in his way.
"You got it," said Ben as he turns to Freeze. "We should hurry. I want to help Batman take down Penguin before he does it all himself."
"I don't doubt he will be able to defeat Cobblepot," said Mr. Freeze as the two head to where his suit is at. It's what Cobblepot is hiding beneath his Ice Lounge that concerns me.
Gotham
Meanwhile, Robin aka Tim Drake is seen finishing things up at the hospital. He knew things are getting worse with every passing minute. He knew the Joker has done a lot of terrible things, but poising the city with his poison blood. That was something they didn't expect him to do.
Well, they probably did, but they didn't think Strange would allow this to happen. It's a shame they couldn't go to the prison and take him in. Not without evidence to back them up. Even with the Joker and files they found he would claim the Joker fabricated the information and he is going to investigate how this happened.
With the mayor backing him up there is nothing they can do. He just hope Bruce will be able to find what they need to bring him down.
"Before he reveals his secret to the world," said Robin after being told by Alfred that Strange knows who Batman is and in turn might know all their secrets.
"I heard it was bad, but I didn't think it was this bad," Robin turns around to see Nightwing aka Dick Grayson appearing behind him. "Hey Tim, it's been a while."
"Yes it has," said Robin who was glad to see Nightwing here. "What are you doing here though? Did Alfred call you?"
"Only after Barbara called me," said Nightwing as he walks over to the ledge of the roof. "I was coming by anyways after I saw on TV that Bruce was being arrested by Strange. Any word on how things are going?"
"Not much. Other than Strange sending his goons to recover the Joker," said Robin as he looks down to see another ambulance arriving with more patients. "And more people are coming in with the same symptoms. Barbara is doing her best to try finding a cure, but it's proving to be more difficult than she thought."
"Not surprising," said Nightwing who knew even with the notes Barbara got they won't be able to find the cure on time. "Let's just hope Bruce and the new kid will be able to find Freeze. That reminds me, how is the new kid?"
"Don't know. Haven't met him yet," said Robin knowing it was true that he has yet to meet this newcomer. "From what Oracle has told me he is doing a good job. However, Bruce is still trying to keep him out of trouble. I guess he doesn't want to risk the kid getting hurt after…well you know."
Nightwing lets out a small sigh knowing exactly what Tim means. "Well, with Joker near death I don't think he has much to worry about," he then remembers what Alfred needed him to do. "Alfred asked me to bring this to you. To take it to Batman and make sure he gets it."
Robin took the tool to see it is a line launcher. "I guess he assumes he'll need this. Anything else you want me to take to him?"
"Just make sure he gets it and tell him we got things here," said Nightwing as he took out his grappling gun. "To not worry and just find the cure."
Robin understood and took out his grappling gun and took off to Arkham City. Nightwing watches Robin swing away before firing his grappling gun to a nearby building.
"Just be careful, Bruce," he said before he takes off.
Arkham City
Ben finished dropping off Mr. Freeze to the entrance of the museum. He retrieved his suit and gave it to him to use before he took off. He also made sure to get the hostages all together. All of them got armed and tell the kid they will be all right.
To go help Batman, who went off to confront Penguin and stop him. Ben felt he didn't need his help to take down that fat flightless bird. But then again, Penguin didn't seem like the type that would rely on just the ice gun to protect himself. No, he would have something else planned if he loses his only weapon to fight Batman.
Right on cue, just as Ben arrived at the Ice Lounge he heard a loud explosion. Followed by the Penguin laughing and what sounds like a loud monstrous roar.
"Oh that can't be good," said Ben as he arrived in the room to find a large hole in the middle of the room.
In the middle of the room he sees Batman down below. Across from him appears to be a large pale skin monster. Chained to a large machinery as Penguin appears to be pressing some sort of device, which sends electricity through the monster. Causing it pain, but also appears to be juicing it up.
"Solomon Grundy…" Ben could hear the monster is now speaking. Oh that's not always good. He thought as he hears the monster continue to speak. "Born on a Monday. Christened on Tuesday. Married on Wednesday."
He threw a punch at Batman, but the chain that held him to the machine prevented him from touching Batman. Ben hears the Penguin talking just as Grundy pulls on the chains and breaks free. Ben fires some web at Penguin tying him up before swinging down to hit Grundy in the face. The monster is sent into the machine, but it wasn't enough to hurt him.
"Sorry for dropping in, but you should know I'm not going to let you have all the fun," said Ben as he turns to Batman.
"I actually knew you would come," said Batman who knew despite his attempt to keep the kid out of the fighting he would come. "I need you to keep him busy, while I destroy the generators."
"Right. I'll just keep him…wait. Say what now?" Ben is then grabbed by Grundy and tossed into a nearby wall. Ben let's out a loud groan as he slowly got up. "Great. Stick me with the undead smelly guy."
Grundy swings the chains, which are attached by large metallic spheres and tosses them at Ben. Ben dodges the spheres and leaps on the wall before firing his web. He swings over as Grundy swings his chains and the spheres to hit Spider-Man. Ben dodges them and begins using his web to wrap around the monster.
Batman used this chance to lay four explosive gels into each of the exposed generators and activates them. They each explode before the generator activates again. This caused Grundy to fall on his knees as he felt the power begin to leave him. Ben use this chance to kick the monster down on his back then begins punching him to try knocking him out.
"Go to sleep. Go to sleep. Go to sleep you ugly smelly monster."
Penguin sees what happened and with the device still in his hand he uses it to try activating the generators again. Despite being damaged they still activate and sent more electricity through Grundy's body. Grundy broke free of the web and punches Ben away. Batman leaps over to help Ben, but Grundy punches him away.
He then tries to hit Batman with his chains, which were now on fire. Batman leaps out of the way and tosses a Batarang at him. It hits Grundy's right shoulder as it explodes. It knocks Grundy down as Batman begins setting up the four explosive gels on the generators again.
He gets to three, but before he can get to four, Grundy grabs Batman and begins dragging him to the large generator. Grundy places his hand on it as electricity begins flowing through his body. The same electricity begins electrocuting Batman as he struggles to break free of Grundy's grip.
Ben recovered from being hit earlier and sees what is going on. He rushes over to the fourth generator and tosses a Web Grenade. Blocking the machine as it tries to send electricity, but due to the blockage it begins overheating and explodes.
Batman sees what Ben did and detonates the three other explosive gels. Destroying the generators and weakening Grundy. Batman breaks free and sees Grundy is now trapped. His chains get caught in the machine as Grundy fell on his knees. Ben and Batman see Grundy's skin has been blown off and is showing his ribcage.
It also shows his glowing hear as Grundy tries to break free. Ben fires his web from both wrists at Grundy's arms to keep him bound to give Batman an opening. Batman rushes over and punches through Grundy's zombie heart. Taking it out and putting down the monster.
Ben walk over to Batman and sighed in relief. "Well, never fought a zombie monster before. I guess I can scratch that off my list."
Batman turns to Ben and walks over before placing his hand on his shoulder. "Good work," he said before using his grappling gun to get out of the hole.
Ben stood there a little surprised with what just happened, but couldn't help but smile under his mask. "Y-your welcome, sir," he said before joining him. I guess this means I got his trust now.
They grab the Penguin and head back to the entrance of the museum. There they find Mr. Freeze in his suit. Ben saw what the suit looks like without him in it. But damn, with the suit on Freeze definitely looks like a villain.
"Where is Cobblepot?" Mr. Freeze asked as Batman tosses the now untied Penguin over to him.
"Well, look who it is. Mister Fr…" Penguin got interrupted when Freeze pressed his boot over his broken hand. Causing the criminal to scream in pain.
Ben was about to speak out, when Batman stepped in. "Freeze! Enough."
Mr. Freeze turns to Batman and release the Penguin. He lifts him up and tosses him into an empty exhibit container before turning to the two masked heroes.
"The cure, Freeze," said Batman reminding Freeze why they came.
"There isn't one," Mr. Freeze replied as he begins to explain. "Creating an antidote to the disease that afflicts the clown was easy. Unfortunately the cure degrades too quickly."
Ben sees a holographic image of the cure, the ingredients, and symbols that Ben recognized. "It looks like the cure needs a restorative element. Some kind of reforming enzyme to keep it from degrading too quickly. Without it the cure will just break down before it can cure the host."
Ben notices the two adults turning to him after what he just said. "Just because I am the youngest in this room doesn't mean I am the dumbest. I know my science."
"The boy speaks the truth," said Mr. Freeze who was impressed with the young hero's knowledge of science. "Finding a suitable enzyme is not the only problem. It needs to be adapted, bonded to human DNA."
"Which will take time. Decades most likely," said Ben who knew they didn't have the time to wait for that to happen. "Unless you got a time machine or time stone in your utility belt then I don't know what we can do, Batman."
Batman though knew there is one way they can get the cure. But it won't be easy. "What if I told you I know a man who has been exposed to that enzyme for centuries?"
"What man?" Mr. Freeze asked wondering who could possibly have this enzyme that Batman is looking for.
"His name is Ra's al Ghul," said Batman as the moment he said that name the woman trapped in one of the exhibits opened her eyes.
"Bring him to me. All I need is a sample of his blood," said Mr. Freeze knowing if Batman knows this Ra's then they can make the cure. "It is your only hope."
"Ra's al Ghul is dead," Batman replied.
"Wait, if he's dead then how are we supposed to get the cure?" Ben asked confused with where Batman is going with this.
"Not exactly. I need someone to tell me where the body is…" Batman motions his head to the woman in the container as Ben sees her breaking through the glass. "Then I can go wake him up."
They see her breaking free as she cut herself on the glass. "Blasphemer. You are not worthy to speak of the great Ra's al Ghul," she said as she goes to escape, but Ben manages to fire a tracer on her shoulder.
"She didn't see that did she?" Ben asked hoping she didn't see or felt the tracer on her.
"Even if she did…" Batman kneels down to the blood and begins scanning. "I have another way of tracking her down," he then turns to Ben and Freeze. "Spider-Man, take Freeze back to the Gotham P.D. Make sure he has everything set up when I bring him the blood sample."
"You sure you don't want me to come with you?" Ben asked figuring Batman might need backup.
"I'll be fine. Besides, this is between me and Ra's," said Batman as he takes off to find Ra's al Ghul.
Meanwhile (Marvel Universe)
It took Abigail a while, but she managed to find a way to get the portal fixed. Thankfully she had some help to get the job done faster. Now, all they needed to do was get the coordinates of where Ben is located at. Unfortunately for them, Jocasta was only able to get them three locations.
One leads to a familiar universe where it appears to be the one where Jason and his friends are living. Another appears to be a universe where Norse Gods and mythical monsters exist. The third appears to leads not to another dimension, but rather a galaxy far from their own. Abigail though decided to go with the two dimensions and save the third for another time.
However, she knew they couldn't just go to one world, return, and then teleport to the next one. It turns out the portal needs a lot of energy to be used to power it. It also appears to overheat once those go through the portal and it would take an hour before it can be used again. Even keeping it open will cause it to overheat even longer.
"That's why we called you here. We plan to use your…*sigh* magic to help us," Abigail finished explaining.
She is seen on a chair with another figure sitting right in front of her. He appears to be 17 years old, with short black hair, blue eyes, fair skin, wearing a strange outfit, and wearing a long red cape.
"So, you think with my magic I will be able to teleport us from one dimension to the other?" the young man asked as he took a sip of his tea. "You do realize that Jason came to me with a similar request years ago right? Both my dad and I told him even with the Sling Rings we can't teleport her to her own universe. They require a lot of effort to teleport to any place in the Multiverse, but one like where Kara came from is a place we couldn't get her to."
"I'm well aware of that. You also need to focus, visualize, and look beyond the world in front of you in order for it to work," Abigail replied recalling the many times she has been told about this. "Daniel also told me this too. Even with the power of the Rider he couldn't help us. However, he recommended you to help us. At least since my idea requires your magic."
"What idea?" the young man asked wondering what Abigail is up to.
Abigail smiles at him and begins showing him a hologram of what she wants to do. "You talked about combining science and magic with your dad. Even adding technology to magical artifacts. Think you might be able to combine this little invention I have been working on with your magic, Doctor Strange?"
The young man took a good look at the device Abigail made and smiled a little bit. "That's Christopher Strange, Abigail. I'm not a doctor like my dad, Abigail."
"Not as good as him, but I think you should consider using the name anyways," said Abigail as she turns off the hologram and hands her friend the chip to start working. "So, how long will it take for you to finish this?"
Christopher thinks about this carefully as he sets the chip down on the table. He then closed his eyes as his cloak moved away revealing an amulet with a glowing green stone inside of it. The gem glows brightly for a few seconds. Until the glow disappears and Christopher picks up a glove over where the chip used to be.
"Just finished," he said as he puts on the glove before putting his Sling Ring over it. "With my Sling Ring and the spell I used to combine your technology we will be able to teleport to anywhere. Any world, galaxy, and universe without the power of an Infinity Stone."
Abigail smiled as the two teenagers got up from their seat. "Then let's go rescue our friend."
Christopher nods as he begins using his Sling Ring to open a portal to where the others are at. The two walk through it before the portal closes up behind them.
Looks like science and magic is going to help save the day. Also, yes this is a new OC I made and this OC is the son of Doctor Stephen Strange. Also, yes he has what everyone is thinking he has. And also, no he will not use it to cheat when they arrive in Arkham.
Where's the fun in making things difficult for our heroes? Anyways, I want to thank my friend AVP5 for his help. I appreciate his help on my OC and yes my OC will appear in the fourth Injustice story crossover. Right after the prequel my friend is doing.
Anyways, we also see Ben is now off to protect Mr. Freeze and showing off he is smart. Okay, he may not be as smart as his dad, but the kid is smart. So, that's good for him. Let's just make sure he won't lower his guard around the snowman or to ask if he wants to build a snowman.
We also see Batman is slowly coming around with the kid. Will he end up trusting him? Or will he continue to keep his distance after his last partner? Also, the other world team B is going to, you can figure out too which world is that too.
Still, tune in next time to find out how things will go. If you guys like the chapter then please leave some reviews. Just no flame reviews please and thanks guys for the support I appreciate it my fans. See you all next time and take care!
