A/N: MISS ME GUYS?! I'm working almost daily and I feel like crap, as to that effect. But nevertheless, despite this pesky little hiccup-I wanted to get word out any way I could, and since for some strange reason the site is being buggy, I wasn't able to work on this anywhere near as much as I would've liked. Still...so many reviews!

I love you guys so much! *Cries*

Now, this chapter might be a bit confusing consider I haven't done something like this in awhile. With good reason! My job has been beating the living hell out of my as of late! This was REALLY had to write with being tired from work; exhausting, actually. But I'm proud of it, and I hope you enjoy it as I finally get some rest.

This story was birthed from the idea that I've been rewatching Justice Leage. Classic show. Wish we had more like it. And then, then I saw THAT SCENE! The tears, man, the tears! Poor Ace! Dying like that, never living a life. So, naturally, being the lord of happy endings that I am, I decided to do something about it! Now, after Winter Storm Thort...

...happy belated spring! Sorry if its short, but hey, I'm back, folks! Yes, the chapter title has everything to do with the idea of raising in a card came...irony, no? And as to how Naruto got here in the first place? Easy. Reality/The Universe as a whole seems to be broken almost every other day in this show; small wonder he popped up! And yes, a few changes have been made...

"...I like you. You're funny.

~Ace.

Flush

A single event can send the world into a fit of madness.

Paroxysms of terror, all spawned from a single event.

Boy meets girl; girl meets boy.

They form a friendship.

And burn the world.

Looking back, she realized it was that moment that changed everything.

The moment she accepted that hand, offered in friendship, no strings attached. At that very second, the course of her life took a sharp turn-veering off the road fate had lain for her. They say a mind is a terrible thing to lose, but she'd already lost hers. She'd lost it the moment she'd met this strange, sad, little boy; someone, like her. In that instant he became her Light. Her happiness. Her key. The key to the door that would unlock an entire new world for her, a new realm of possibilities.

...and because of that, their world would burn.

A/N: Hoooooooooooooooooohh DAYUM! That's right folks, I finally did it! A Naruto x Justice League crossover! With Ace as the main pairing, no less! MAJOR fluffiness following this, so I sincerely hope ya'll stay tuned. And yup yup, the Joker will be making an appearance in thsi!

So...in the Immortal Words of Atlas...

...Review...Would Ya Kindly? And of course, enjoy the preview! For those who didn't quite understand the scope of Naruto's powers, this might help a bit:

(Preview!)

"What's so funny?"

The boy kept laughing, heedless of his bloodied nose. "You...you just don't get it, do you?"

The Man of Steel reluctantly lowered his fist, clenched knuckles loosening.

"Get what?"

"I can't die!" came the reply, palms spread out in the time-told gesture of a shrug. "I'm immortal, idiot! I've got a demon sealed inside of me! And my imagination, remember? So if I were to imagine, say, that I was...ten times stronger...?

WHAM!

His fist flew forward, a heel-palm snapping the caped crusader backwards. The follow-up, a knee to the stomach, sent him sprawling. His brief advantage didn't last, however; in the time that it took for him to catch his breath he found himself pounded right back into the ground all over again.

"It doesn't matter how strong you are; you can't win this!"

A groan rose from the streets of Metropolis.

"I wonder about that."

"What?"

Naruto tilted his head slightly, regarding Superman with thinly veiled amusement. Ace's face was practically apocalyptic now, dark hair lofting around her face as though it were actually alive; alive and ready to lash out at the one who DARED to touch her precious person. Uh-oh. He knew that look. He laughed again, coughing blood.

"Uh, Supes? You REALLY should stop fighting me and get the fuck away from there, because things are going to get ugly in four... three... two...

Then Ace frowned, her eyes meeting those of Clark Kent. A whisper followed.

"Pain."

And the world flared a blinding white.

R&R! =D
