Dicks

Wonder Boy

"Follow me, boyz."

All the Dicks looked at eachother. Wonder Boy was shocked as he stared at the girl in the doorway... entryway... something like that...

"BABS?" He called in disbelief.

"Hey there, Dickie-Bird! Now chop chop! We need to get you guys out of here." She pulled something out of her pocket, hit a button, and all the doors burst open. "Now everyone stay in your cell."

"Heck no." Renegade jumped out, and Wonder Boy couldn't help but feel a prick of fear upon seeing the assassins movements. They were fluid and graceful, a deadly spring to his step that meant he was just waiting for a chance to pounce.

"RENEGADE! Your mentor is waiting for you! Now! Back in your cell!" Barbara yelled, pointing back at the small room. Renegade froze.

"My... mentor?"

"Yes! Slade Wilson, Deathstroke, whatever! He... he's helping us. To get you." Bab's voice grew cold. Wonder Boy was fairly certain she was... not his Barbara.

This one's red hair was short, pixie-cut. Her brown eyes had steel to them. And her outfit... it was quite different. Black base with brown armor complete with a henna tattoo up her arm. At least he hoped it was henna.

Renegade slowly went back, his guard obviously up.

Barbara sighed, running her hand through her short hair. "OK. I'm going to come to each of you. I am then going to put something on you called a Harmonizer. It will identify what your natural frequency is and fuzz you to the world to were you belong, to dumb it down. You will be met by the UTP and your mentors. Listen to them carefully. Understood?"

"Who's the UTP?" Stray questioned.

"UTP: Universe and Time Police. Ok. Ready?" She answered quickly, brushing him off.

"Babs! Wait!" Wonder Boy needed to ask her something.

"Yeah?"

"Are... you aren't my Babs, are you?"

There was fast attention on the young woman as she answered slowly. "No, not really. I belong originally to... well, Earth 0. I am a UTP myself."

"Whoa." Wonder Boy couldn't believe that his best friend was a... well, he just couldn't believe! That was awesome!

"But we need to hurry, so hold still!" She came to Wonder Boy first, having him spread his arms straight out and fitting him with little circles. She stood back with a smile. "Well, bya."

Wonder Boy nodded with a smile as the world started fuzzing and buzzing. As it cleared again, his heart skipped about three beats as he saw his Mom and Dad.

"Mo- Wonder Woman! Batman!"

Earth-0 (Previously Unknown)

Amulon's Ship

Barbara

Barbara ran her hands down Talon's legs, as he was the last to be fitted, carefully placing the Tabs (or as most people thought of them- little circles) on him. She straightened, smiling at him and ready to wave the teen off.

He was staring at her with the strangest expression on his face. She raised an eyebrow in question.

"I... I... I just, on my world... Barbara Gordon is... gone." He looked down.

Barbara sighed. "Look, Dick, I know... that it's... it's hard to explain. With lots of mashing universes things get complicated, and confusing. But, y'see, no one's ever really dead. On Earth 0, everyone is special. Really. You wouldn't think it, but it's true. Earth 0 is... well, the original source. If I die, for example, every Barbara in every universe will die to. But as long as I'm alive, no Barbara Gordon is ever really dead." she shrugged.

Talon warily met her eyes, nodding slowly. "B-but... will I ever... ever see her again?"

"Someday, buddy. Someday."

"Wait a minute- if you exist on Earth 0, does that mean so do I?"

Barbara grinned. "Ever heard of soulmates?"

"Yes..."

"Well, one someone meets their soulmate... well, let's just say, Dick.0 is really important to me. And, as such, I need to go save him."

"He's in trouble?"

"He's the one that got all of you guys in trouble!"

"By, Ba-"

Barbara smiled softly as he fuzzed out of existence, growling as she turned to face the man waiting down the hall.

"Well," came his voice, raspy and snake-like. "As you've done so well undoing my hard work, I'll enjoy undoing you."

"Not a chance, Amulon." she answered, preparing to fight.

"Well, it would be one thing to kill you, Baliana*, but another to make you hurt."

"Hah!" Barbara scoffed. "You've said that before! No matter how much you hurt me, it will never really hurt."

"That's the thing, I don't plan on hurting you. I plan on hurting isolia*."

Barbara's eyes widened. "DON'T TOUCH HIM!"

Amulon just laughed.


*Baliana = Barbara in Earth 0's Language

* Isolia = Soulmate in Earth 0's Language

Sorry it took me so long! I moved and... and... well, I've just been real busy lately! Super sorry! And I can't really spend a lot of time answering reviews this time!

A few notes:

- Amulon: yaaaay! Our big bad-guy is finally introduced! (He's also Earth 0 Barbara's Nemesis)

- All the Dick's went home and we probably won't be hearing from them any time soon... sorry...

- I think, for the sake of wrapping this story up, I won't be able to include any other universes... so so sorry...

- The Talon mentioned is the Owlman and Talon Talon, and Barbara's dead there...

- I KNOW! The writing's crappy but I am NOT feeling well at all... like I feel REALLY sick... I can barely focus but I made this for YOOOOOOOUUU!

- I be sorry it's confusing. I'm confused by everything right now cause I don't feel good, as I said above: ^

- And as I said... Amulon is the big bad guy and he is Barbara's nemesis... maybe one day I'll write an Earth 0 AU... probably not... we'll see...

- PLEASE review? Thanks to all who have! :D

- Sorry I can't respond to reviews... I feel VERY sick... Should be better soon though...
