It was a very sleepy evening for the orphans, though Jack and Jill both started to have trouble sleeping. Since they were twins, they could feel each other's pain and sickness and since Jill was worried while sleeping, Jack began to feel worried with her, though he tried to sleep off whatever it was. Patch slept soundly before his ear went up, disturbing his sleep as he got up and looked around before biting on Atticus's sleeve, whining and lightly growling.
"Okay, boy, okay..." Atticus mumbled as he got out of bed briefly and opened the door for him. "Go outside, Patch."
Patch then went out the door once it was opened and began to follow the sound to what he heard. Inside the boys' sleeping quarters, someone kept coming down with a rope and began to take some of the boys while they were sleeping. And where it didn't seem to disturb anyone from their sleep while that was going on. That was, until Nibs heard something fall on one of the boys' beds as it was a teddy bear. Patch continued to follow what he heard before seeing what it was.
"What's this?" The young Dalmatian whispered to himself in concern.
Peter and Nibs were still trying to sleep until Peter rolled over in his bed and gasped as a bright light shined in his face and woke him up. Someone swooped down from the ceiling and snatched one of the other boys.
"NIBS!" Peter cried out, going to his best friend.
"Peter!" Nibs replied as he began to do the same.
"Oh, my gosh! I gotta tell everyone!" Patch panicked as he went to wake up the others so that they could help before stopping himself. "But wait... They could be kidnapped too. Oh... What to do?"
"I told you it would happen tonight," Peter told Nibs as they hide under their beds. "I was right!"
More and more kids were soon heard and seen getting kidnapped by more and more people as they kept coming down from above.
"What's going on?" Atticus groaned as he could hear what was going on with his super hearing.
"Atticus, stop talking in your sleep, I'm trying to get some rest here." Cherry grumbled.
"Go outside if you're going to make so much noise." Lionel added.
"Guys, I think the kids might be in trouble," Atticus said before he rubbed his eyes. "I think we better check on the boys."
"Ugh. Fine." Cherry groaned.
"Alright." Mo yawned as she got out of bed.
"Let's get going." Jack added, yawning too as he got up.
Atticus soon jumped out of bed and helped the others out after him.
"Always whenever I have a great dream..." Lionel mumbled to himself. "Okay, Patch. Lead us to victory."
The group was in agreement and so they ran off, going to take them into the sleeping quarters so that they could probably help the boys.
Unknown to anyone else though, Peter was under the beds and was crawling away as he watched as the boys were snatched out of bed, one-by-one.
"Guys, good, you're here." Patch said once they all caught up.
"Hmm... I smell rum... Bottles of rum..." Lionel remarked. "Definitely sounds like a pirate attack."
"It sounds too crazy to be true, but at this point in my life after finding out that Fairy Tales are real, I believe just about anything." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"But wait, why would pirates be here?" Jill whispered to the others.
"Maybe so they can get some free cabin boys against their own free will." Jack whispered back.
"Yeah, but how come they chose this orphanage?" Thor whispered.
"I'm afraid to find out the answer to that question." Lionel whispered back.
A pirate soon swooped down and grabbed Jack, taking him next.
"JACKIE!" Jill cried out for her twin brother, reaching out for him.
"JILLY!" Jack cried back as he reached out for her only to be taken next.
Thor glowered as his eyes glowed before he made a lightning ball in the palm of his hand before trying to shoot it at the pirate. The pirate yelled in pain and frustration, getting electrocuted, but kept leaving with Jack.
"Nice shot though," Cherry told Thor sincerely. "Really, that was good."
"Thanks." Thor replied softly.
"You know what this means, right?" Mo asked the others.
"Yep. Time to get caught by pirates." Patch said.
"Well, here we go." Atticus said as he stood still.
"Get caught by pirates?" Cherry asked before flailing out. "We should be calling the police!"
"911, what's your emergency? Ah, yes, there are some boys being taken by pirates. Can you please assist us?" Lionel simulated, using puppets as a demonstration.
Cherry gave him a deadpan look.
"NIBS!" Peter cried out as his friend was taken next.
"Peter, there you are!" Jill gasped. "Then I'm not too late."
"Jill? We gotta get out of here!" Peter told her. "There are pirates here!"
"But what about Nibs? We can't leave him behind!" Jill told him.
"We'll find someway to rescue him and the others." Peter replied.
"My brother was taken too." Jill then said.
"We'll help him too," Peter told her. "Now get down!"
Jill looked around before she soon fell down on her hands and knees, then crawled after Peter as she felt she had no other option.
"Hopefully Sister Rose understands," Peter said. "I know that she will help us. She cares the most about us orphans."
Jill followed as the pirates kept leaping inside the room, taking whichever boys they could find before the two came to the double doors and opened them to run out and get help.
However, the doors were suddenly opened up and Mother Barnabus was there and she kicked Peter right back into the room. "Goodbye, Peter!" she then told him sternly.
"Mother Barnabus? What's going on?" Sister Rose's voice asked from one of the other rooms.
"Sister Rose! Help! Pirates are kidnapping the boys!" Jill called out.
"Oh, my word!" Sister Rose gasped and frowned.
"Get back to your chamber!" Mother Barnabus scowled at Sister Rose.
"Stop it!" Jill cried out before she grabbed onto Peter's legs as a pirate caught him after he was kicked away.
"Let go!" Peter cried out as he was being lifted by one of the pirates and they were soon in a pirate's ship with the other boys.
"I've got to alert the authorities!" Sister Rose panicked. "I've got to get help... Yes, that's what I'll do! I'll run off and get help and-"
Mother Barnabus glared and soon elbowed Sister Rose against the wall and she hit the wall by her head. Sister Rose groaned a bit before that knocked her out, but luckily for her, only temporarily.
"Bothersome girl." Mother Barnabus scoffed.
"I never did like that woman." Lionel glared.
"With how she has shown no kindness at all, who would?" Patch whispered.
"So, what're we gonna do about the pirates?" Lionel asked.
"I know it's risky, but as I said, let them take us so that we can find out what they're up to and why they want the boys." Atticus replied before he was soon taken next.
"Ooh... This one's a strong one~" The pirate who grabbed Atticus said with a smirk and dark chuckle.
"I hate pirates, but if we must..." Cherry sighed before she waited for her turn to come.
A pirate soon grabbed her and took a look at her. "This one's a girl!" she then scoffed. "What good are girls anyway?"
"Uh... Well..." Cherry blinked.
"She could cook and clean for us if she don't give us bad luck." Another pirate suggested with a smirk.
"We could always use more than one to do the cooking and cleaning." A third pirate suggested with a smirk.
'Of course that's what they're going to make me Cherry and Jill do.' Mo thought to herself.
"There's another one down there!" One pirate called out.
"Get her too!" A second pirate added. "Say... That one's kinda dressed like a boy."
"Aw, heck no!" Mo cried out before she ran for her life and she was suddenly taken next.
Mother Barnabus seemed to smirk about the kids being taken away, but kept it to herself while the orphans panicked.
"I swear you will get your just desserts, madam!" Lionel glared at Mother Barnabus while being taken away.
"We shall see." Mother Barnabus smirked.
"I truly hate this." Patch muttered.
Soon, everyone looked around as they made it onto the pirate ship where several of the boys were, including Peter and Nibs.
Peter looked around and kept trying to look for a way out, but all he saw were pirates before he saw their flag. "Holy pudding!" he then gasped at the sight of the traditional pirate flag.
"Prepare to set sail!" One of the pirates called out.
Peter and Nibs looked over the edge of the ship as they were suddenly in the air.
"We've got to get out of here." Nibs told Peter.
"Ooh... I don't like heights..." Jill said nervously.
"We'll have to jump." Nibs suggested.
"I can't!" Peter told him.
"We have to! Come on!" Nibs replied before he jumped overboard.
Nibs soon fell through the air and then hit the roof of the orphanage, hurting himself as the ship began to set sail.
"Nibs!" Peter cried out for his best friend as the ship began to leave without Nibs.
"This is bad! This is bad!" Jill panicked.
"What do we do?" Mo asked.
"Join him?" Thor guessed.
"Are you crazy?!" Lionel asked Thor. "We could get hurt if we jump out after Nibs! Besides, we might miss since the ship is moving and end up as roadkill by sunrise!"
"Fair point." Thor nodded.
"So guess we're stranded on this ship." Jack said.
"Looks like it." Cherry said.
"Besides, if you just beat up all the bad guys and meddle like you usually do, this story would be way too short." Lionel muttered.
"What?" Atticus asked.
"Nuthin'," Lionel replied innocently. "You okay, Cherry?" he then asked the perky goth.
"I'm very annoyed at this situation right now." Cherry said.
"So nothing's changed in us at least," Lionel then remarked. "Good."
Peter looked around, very scared as they flew away from the orphanage in the pirate ship, passing by the night sky.
"Well, this is one way to travel." Jack said.
"Are all of us here?" Thor asked.
"I think so." Lionel replied.
Jill shivered from where she stood.
"Oh... Jill, there you are," Jack said in relief as he came over to his twin sister and hugged her warmly. "It's going to be okay."
"I'm just so scared of facing pirates," Jill said nervously. "Especially after just dealing with Bluebeard in Aunt Alice's Sinister Squad."
"You don't think anyone will notice the pirate ship, do you?" Thor asked.
"Something this big? Yeah, I think so." Lionel said.
"Well, we better stay together right, Patch?" Atticus asked as he looked over to where he thought Patch would be.
There was no answer then.
"Patch...?" Atticus asked in a panicky voice.
"Wuh-oh..." Thor mumbled. "I guess someone got left behind."
Atticus then began to panic, feeling lost and worried without Patch.
"Hmm... Well, if we truly need our Team Pet, I could always bring him back if I wanted to." Lionel suggested.
"With of how lost and worried Atticus is being, it looks like we might need him with us." Jack said.
"He must be a very special dog." Jill said.
"Well, they've been together ever since we found him, Lucky, Rolly, and Cadpig in that submarine." Cherry replied.
"A submarine?" Jack asked.
"It's a really long story," Atticus replied. "But yeah, the day I met Patch was a very happy day for me. Looked like my life was starting to pick up after meeting Cherry."
"Let's just hope Lionel doesn't take too long," Jill said with a small sigh. "...For your sake anyway."
Atticus nodded as they just waited along as they sailed through the sky that night.
"Incoming!" A pirate called out.
"Huh? What's that?" Cherry asked before yelping and ducking down as there was suddenly gunfire. "Somebody's shooting at us!"
"Well, this definitely tells us that The Air Force noticed us!" Mo yelped as she and the others joined her.
"Too bad they don't know there are children on board!" Jill added.
"This way," Peter whispered to Jill. "I found a place to hide away for now."
Jill nodded before following him and soon, so did the others. The group soon came into a safe room and hid during The Air Force attacked against the pirate ship.
"This is the last way I wanted to spend my evening." Cherry rolled her eyes.
The pirate ship continued to fly away from the warships through the skies.
"Ma'am, regarding identification of the enemy, um, aircraft, it rather resembles a, um..." A soldier reported from his plane, sounding nervous about explaining what he saw.
"Spit it out, man." A woman on the other line demanded.
"It looks like a pirate ship, ma'am." The soldier informed.
"...Come again?" The woman then asked as that sounded very strange.
"FIRE!" A pirate called out before shooting a cannon to shoot cannonballs back at The Air Force.
"Guys, maybe it's just me, but I think I see a train on the ground," Cherry said as they continued to fly around before she began to hold her stomach. "Also... I don't feel so good."
"Just hold it in." Jack told her.
"And Cherry, you're right, I just saw a train pass by on the ground." Atticus told her.
"But what model was it?" Mo asked.
"Uh... I'm not sure..." Atticus replied.
The pirate ship soon came up to a nearby window of the train, coming right beside it. Inside was a young boy who was playing with a toy plane before he saw the pirate ship right next to him. The ship soon tilted as they left the train tracks and soon splashed into the water. The group screamed and panicked as they tried to hold onto something as they slid across the floor as Cherry looked more sick to her stomach. A warplane continued to fly behind them, trying to shoot at them.
"Somebody do something to get us out of here!" Cherry cried out with a groan.
Peter looked down to see a net before falling out of the ship and grabbed onto it as the pirate ship continued to fly around and hit a bridge while the warplane shot at it, passing through the water. Peter screamed as he dangled from the net and screamed even more as he was almost shot at.
"Peter!" Jill gasped.
"We have to get him back up here!" Thor yelped. "And why hasn't Lionel come back yet with Patch?"
"One problem at a time." Jack told him.
"Come on, Atticus, let's help out Peter." Thor suggested.
"All right." Atticus nodded as they soon grabbed the net to help Peter up.
"Hold on, Peter!" Jill called out.
Peter either didn't hear her or was too busy panicking as he just kept panicking and screaming as the bullets kept nearly hitting him. It got even worse once the net caught on fire after a Hindenberg was shot and struck down and Peter began to try to blow out the flames on the net. Eventually, the net was pulled up and Peter was brought back on board with Atticus and Thor's help as a pirate glared and growled right behind them.
"Bluebeard...?" Jack asked wearily once he took a look at the pirate, but wasn't sure if it was him or not.
"Don't go dying," The pirate told Peter. "You're precious cargo."
"Am I?" Peter asked softly.
"Somebody thinks so." The pirate nodded.
"Is it my mother?" Peter asked hopefully.
"Going UP!" The pirate soon called out to the others on deck, ignoring Peter's question.
"Wait, what?" Mo asked.
The warplanes began to start going towards the ship on both sides before it started to go up, making the two planes miss them.
"If Lionel wanted to get back on the ship with Patch, now would be the time!" Thor yelped.
"Pfft... Maybe he just ditched us." Jack scoffed.
"Bite your tongue," Cherry scolded. "Lionel is not like that."
"Then where is he, hmm...?" Jack asked. "Yeah, that's what I thought."
The others tried to stay positive, but with Lionel and Patch gone, it was a little hard to do that. Peter soon found some rope and tied himself down before showing some rope to the others.
"Oh, good idea, Peter," Jill said as she took it and tied herself up too. "Maybe this should help us while we get to-Uh... Wherever we are going." she then added, covering up the truth from Peter in case it would ruin his destiny.
The pirate ship soon began to go high into the sky before a random note appeared.
"Don't worry, I didn't ditch ya guys, I found Patch and we're off to you-know-where - Lionel." The note read.
"You-know-where?" Peter asked out of confusion.
"Well, at least we know where we're going to be meeting them." Atticus said.
"But what is he talking about?" Peter asked. "Come on, guys!"
A plane was soon hit by one of the cannonballs and it was going down with flames all over the wings. The soldier in the plane soon grabbed a parachute and soon jumped out of the plane while the chance was still open. The ship kept riding upwards, going past the clouds, and into the dark sky, away from the chaos.
"...It's quiet," Cherry said. "Too quiet."
"That means we're out of their range of fire." Atticus said.
Peter soon began to start floating in the air as there wasn't gravity to keep him on the floor.
"One of us should keep him from floating away." Thor said.
Peter waved as he kept floating, enjoying it very much.
"Peter, get back here!" Jill gasped as she tried to go after him.
"No way!" Peter laughed. "This is the most fun I've ever had!"
"Wait... Are we in outer space?" Cherry asked. "How?! That's impossible!"
"Welcome to Looking Glass where nothing makes sense." Jack reminded with a cocky smirk.
"Very funny, Wonder Brat." Cherry rolled her eyes.
"Argh..." Jill groaned, then floated after Peter, trying to be careful as he kept getting further and further away from her.
Peter looked around as he floated away from the pirate ship and soon pushed beside the planet Saturn and Jill kept going after him, even if he was being stubborn about it.
"Boys..." Jill rolled her eyes before she soon grabbed onto Peter. "Gotcha." she then smirked.
"Aw, come on!" Peter complained before they both yelped and were suddenly pulled tightly on the rope and sent right back onto the ship, making Jill fall on deck, though Peter got struck right between his legs before he came back on deck with her.
"What happened?" Jill asked.
"I think we're arriving at our destination." Thor said.
"Then we might wanna embrace for impact." Jack replied.
"I feel sick again." Cherry complained.
"I don't think you're alone." Jill groaned as she sat up and rubbed her head.
The ship soon shot right down out of the sky and splashed into the water. After splashing, they soon lightly landed in new waters and came into a bright and shiny new place which could only be one place.
"Neverland..." The Toon Force whispered to themselves as it had to be the place.
They passed by bubbles filled with fish as they traveled into the strange new world. Peter looked around and smiled once they sailed in the air.
"So this is Neverland?" Jill asked.
"It must be." Cherry nodded at her.
"Wow." Jill smiled.
"Sure is no place we've ever been to before." Jack said.
They soon saw flying fish actually flying past them and into another bubble of water.
"Cool. Flying fish." Thor smiled.
In one of the bubbles, they saw a crocodile and where it soon looked as if it was looking at them.
"Whoa." Mo yelped.
Cherry looked wide-eyed before gulping and chuckling sheepishly at the crocodile.
"Never smile at a crocodile." Peter advised.
The pirates soon shouted as they began to free the children they took from the hatched room below and they soon came out to see where they had ended up outside of the orphanage.
"Get out here!"
"You little rat!"
"Make your move!"
"Come on, hurry up!"
"Move it! Come on!"
The boys soon joined Peter and the Toon Force at the sides of the ship as they explored and looked at the new sights and sounds of Neverland. They passed through the clouds as it suddenly became dark as they looked all around in wonder and awe.
"C'mon, fellas." Peter told the other boys before they ran to the front of the boat to see more of Neverland.
The pirates grinned as they continued to sail through the air before there were more pirates shown to be chanting and stomping.
"Is this Canada?" Peter blinked as they looked around.
"I don't think so." Jill said.
"Unless they have pirates chanting for us to entertain them." Jack said.
"Entertain them?" Thor asked. "Why don't I like the sound of that?"
"Look! There's other stuff in the sky!" Jill pointed out.
"Oh, my gosh, there are!" Jack replied once he saw that his twin sister was right.
There were other young boys in the crowd who were chanting along with the pirates. However, one looked terrified and was even shivering.
"SING!" The pirate behind him demanded, scaring him into changing with the others.
The pirates on the ship soon sang along before one stepped out between the others. "KNEEL!" he then demanded to the kids.
The kids soon fell down to kneel on their knees, except for Peter and the twins.
"I don't kneel for anyone!" Peter replied firmly.
"We're a prince and a princess, we shouldn't have to kneel." Jack added, referring to himself and his twin sister.
"Guys, you should show some respect," Atticus suggested. "I don't think you'd have much of a life to live if you didn't around here."
"Oh, you'll kneel to him," The pirate firmly told them. "He's the pirate all pirates fear! The original nightmare! The man they call Blackbeard!"
"Oh, joy," Cherry groaned. "Just what we need right now, a pirate to fear."
A pirate was seen coming out of the captains' quarters as he joined in the song/chanting. Cherry looked up and down at this so-called Blackbeard, wearing all black and hints of red, before she smirked, biting her lip, then took out a wooden bucket before laughing into it.
"Cherry!" The others quietly warned.
"He looks like The Evil Queen or somethin'~" Cherry quietly told them before laughing while cupping her mouth and trying not to laugh too loudly.
Luckily, no one else really heard her since the singing and chanting was too loud.
"SING FOR YOUR MASTER!" One pirate in the crowd called out sharply.
The singing soon ended as Cherry kept laughing before she looked around and cleared her throat before grinning sheepishly as it was suddenly silent and she was caught in the act of laughing.
"Sweet, gentle children. You who weep molten pearls of innocent tears, dry them, dear nippers. For I have sprung you from life's cruel dungeon, and hereby grant you liberty!" Blackbeard soon began to make an announcement.
Many pirates and boys in the area cheered and roared.
"Suffer no more. Come unto me. You are home," Blackbeard then continued. "Here you join orphans alike from every corner of the globe, every race, creed, and color. Every age and era. You are pioneers. Brave creators of a new society. For this, my poppets, is a land of opportunity!"
There was more cheering in between while Peter just looked confused with the twins and The Toon Force.
"My justice is divine," Blackbeard then said. "My laws are so simple you could write them on a pig's ear," he then smirked before he took out a pig's ear, making Mo cringe suddenly. "In fact, I have."
One of the pirates chuckled, finding that to be funny
"Law #1: 'Those who work with bright, honest vigor will be rewarded with prizes and trophies and confectionery'!" Blackbeard soon read aloud. "Law #2: 'Those who fail to work hard, those who skive or malinger, will hereby know the brooding majesty of my disapproval'," he then chuckled before suddenly flinging away the pig's ear, then spritzed his hands clean. "Mark me well. I know no pity. No second chances. I don't do mercy, but remember, don't forget to help yourselves to lots and lots of jolly old fun!" he then exclaimed in excitement. "Hey, kiddiewinks, welcome to Neverland!"
"So this is Neverland..." Cherry realized.
"Not at all like I imagined... Even if this was before Peter became Peter Pan." Mo added.
There was light growling heard as Atticus's pant leg was tugged and pulled on.
"Huh? What?" Atticus asked before looking down and gasped. "Patch! There you are!"
"Sorry for not joining you guys on the ship." Patch replied.
"Wait, if you're here, then that means Lionel isn't too far behind." Thor smiled.
"Great," Mo said. "Because we'll all need to be together while we're in Neverland."
"Yeah, Lionel's here," Patch replied. "He was gonna bring you guys too, but once he realized what was going on, he decided to come here while he still had the chance and plus, his teleportation skills are a little wonky."
"Well, he is a kid," Mo remarked before looking at Cherry and Thor. "...He is a kid, right? How old is Lionel supposed to be?"
Cherry and Thor mumbled awkwardly as they weren't sure themselves.
"The point is, Lionel would never ditch us," Mo then said, mostly to Jack and Jill. "He's apart of OUR family like Snow White and Prince Charming are apart of yours and anyone else in The Avengers Grimm."
"Yeah, I guess." Jack shrugged before crossing his arms.
"What're we supposed to do here?" Jill wondered.
"Get to work!" One of the pirates glared. "You kiddies are going to make yourselves useful around here."
"Of course we are." Cherry grumbled.
And soon, the orphan boys began to get to work which was like mining. Lionel poked his head out of a cabin before throwing something.
"Ow!" Thor yelped as he got hit before he picked up what hit him. "Huh? A gumball?"
The group soon looked over and saw that Lionel was over at a cabin that was a bit far away.
They looked around before they rushed over, going to hide in the cabin with him.
"Oh, there you are, Lionel," Thor smiled. "We were wondering about you."
"Yeah, sorry about that," Lionel replied. "I tried to bring you all into Neverland with me, but I guess I need to work on my teleportation skills a little bit."
"Yes. Do work on it." Jack nodded in agreement.
"The important thing is all of us are together." Atticus said.
"Yes." Patch nodded.
The others came to check out the cabin.
"So... Uh... Does Blackbeard know about this?" Cherry asked.
"Lionel figures that what Blackbeard doesn't know won't hurt us." Patch replied.
"Very impressive, Lionel..." Thor said.
"Yeah," Lionel replied as he rested on a hammock, drinking from a coconut shell like he was on a tropical island. "I just never knew discovering Neverland would be so exhausting."
"I'm just surprised Peter Pan knew Blackbeard." Thor said.
"Well, at least we now know how Peter ended up in Neverland." Mo said.
"And that crocodile in one of those bubbles must of have been Tick-Tock Croc." Jack replied.
"Good, you're learning," Lionel replied as he nodded. "That'll be very good."
"I just hope that we can help out Peter," Jill said softly while blushing before her eyes widened. "Erm... And the other... What was it you called them? Lost Boys?" she then asked bashfully.
"Yes, Lost Boys," Cherry replied. "Peter's future men army to square off against Captain Hook and his pirate crew."
"Oh... He sounds so amazing the way you guys talk about him." Jill smiled while blushing.
"Yes, he'll make a fine addition to Looking Glass," Jack added. "I'm sure Aunt Alice and Hatter will be pleased."
"Yeah, but I doubt Peter would want to leave Neverland that easy," Thor said. "After all, Captain Hook will still be here to try and take someone's treasure."
"We'll get there when we get there." Atticus said.
"What he said." Patch added.
"Uh, shouldn't we be getting back to Peter and the other boys before the pirates find out some of their workers aren't working?" Mo asked.
"Eh, don't worry about that," Lionel replied. "We won't get caught and I don't think we should do much unless we're really needed."
"And if those pirates realize we're not working?" Mo reminded firmly.
"They won't," Lionel said before coming over to a window and pointed out to the cave to show them something. "Look."
The others grouped together and looked out the window to see illusions of themselves working with the orphaned boys.
"Oh... That doesn't feel very fair," Jill frowned. "Maybe we should help out."
"If you want, but there's no need to worry," Lionel replied. "We'll get through this together. We're the Toon Force," he then reminded. "We helped The Avengers Grimm and Sinister Squad against Rumplestiltskin and other storybook villains, we helped Atticus find his long-lost parents, not to mention these guys took down Darkseid together before I showed up, so it's a team effort and we can do it together," he then reassured and comforted. "But perhaps you're right, Jill."
"Plus Peter's our friend and it wouldn't be right for us to be in here while he's working." Jill said.
"She's got a good point." Jack agreed.
"It would be like we're relaxing while he and the others are doing the hard work." Thor said.
"All right... Get ready for contact in 3... 2..." Lionel began.
Then suddenly, the group disappeared in a quick BLIP! of light and reappeared where their doubles were before they looked around and no one at the site seemed to notice anything different or unusual.
"Heigh-Ho, boys," Lionel said in a gruff, grumpy voice, lugging a pic-ax. "It's off to work we go."
"You sound like Queen Snow-I mean Mother's grumpy dwarf friend." Jack chuckled a bit.
Lionel then smirked as Jack and Jill laughed together.
"MORE HACKING AND LESS GIGGLING!" Blackbeard's voice snarled.
Jack and Jill yelped as they quickly got to work together.
