The Neo Justice League was looking at them with looks of contempt and hatred on their face. They were dressed in costumes exactly like their parent with a few minor differences although they had their similarities. They all had black wrist and ankle band and they all had glowing red eyes. They were also all muscular and poised for battle.

The differences in the costumes were subtle but made them stand out not only from their parents, but also their good counterparts. Neo Batman wore the gray like his adult version but his bat symbol was still red and his elbow juts were blades dripping with poison. Neo Batgirl had short hair, the same length of the original and her colors were the same light gray with dark blue in places. She also had fangs. Neo Mystic Robin wore all black metal instead of cloth and her emblem was made out of harsh metal with no stars on the shirt. Her mask hooked upwards. Her halo was made of bronze not gold. Neo Wonder Girl had the same short hair cut that her evil mother had. Her costume was the same except for the blue stripe with white stars running along her side. Neo Green Lantern still had his hair but his costume was a different shade of green then his father. More of a forest green and he had a tattoo of the Lantern symbol on his right bicep and he wore knuckle braces. Neo Supergirl was the one with the most difference. Her costume showed a lot of cleavage. She wore stiletto boots and her tights exposed her thighs. Her cape was spiked and her top showed the upper part of her breast as well as her midriff with holes in her sleeves. Her S was pinned just below her breast and above her midriff. Her mask had swirls all over it. Neo Martian Boyhunter had a much shorter cape then his father and he had a triple atom design all over the front. Neo Flashboy looked exactly like the version Luther/Brainiac had come up with except for double the trim and the double lighting bolts in the center. Hawklady's double wore the same armor as her mother only it was blue and gold like the Thanagerian army. Her wings were incased in metal and her bo staff had sharp point sticking out of it. Evil Aquagirl wore a black bikini with elbow lengths fingerless gloves and her hair was braided. All together they looked like one tough bunch.

"What's the matter? Your not afraid are you? Well you should be. You stand no chance of defeating us. Were far more superior then you'll ever be. Surrender now and we promise to make your death merciful." Neo Batman said in an arrogant voice.

"You have no idea what your up against. This is our most advanced training room. Everything in here is designed to push us to the extreme. We've study your every move and have been trained since birth for this moment. You don't stand a chance." Neo Batgirl added.

"Is that all your good for? Tough talk but we don't back down from a fight nor do we give up. You're the one's going down." Batman predicted.

"Before we begin mind clearing up something? How is it you have a Flashboy on your team when the Justice Lords Flash died in your world. Mind explaining that one to us?" Flashboy demanded.

Over the loudspeaker they heard the Justice Lord Superman laugh at them. How simple minded they were not to even grasp the truth. "Its true that Flash was dead, but we had plenty of his DNA around so we cloned him. Rather then speed growing him and making him part of our team we decided his talents lied best with the Neo team. We planted his DNA into a woman we captured, a woman by the name of Atlanta Hunter, and used her as a surrogate mother. She passed on her unique speed talents to the clone. It was a shame we had to get rid of her but she was to unmanageable. You'll find that this Flashboy is just as good as the original Flash even better. All of the Neo team has let's just say special talents that make them better then you. Now enough talk. I'm eager for this experiment to begin. How long can you possibly last against our vastly superior team I wonder? Were about to find out. Neo Justice Lords attack!" He ordered.

The attack came so swiftly they had no time to ready themselves. They soon found themselves separated and all over the room fighting against themselves. They now understood the purpose of all these obstacles in the room. The elevated floors, the spikes, the blades, the hoops, everything was to make this more interesting and to test the two teams in a life and death struggle.

Batman found himself face to face with himself. He shot several Batarangs at his opponent, then threw down a smoke bomb hoping to confuse him so he could launch and attack, but the Neo Batman just caught the Batarangs and crushed them to dust in his hands before zooming through the smoke and ramming him in the stomach were sending him flying into the wall. "Ahh!" he moaned in pain.

"You're going to have to do better then that. That was way to easy and predictable. What's the matter can't handle being beaten by yourself? Let me tell you your aim is way off. This is how you throw a Batarang!" Neo Batman said nastily hurling a Batarang straight at him with incredible speed and accuracy. Batman had no chance to move and the Batarang cut a deep gash in his chest. He winced in pain and he felt funny.

The Neo Batman caught the Batarang and held out in front of him. "Like it? It's one of a kind. Sharpened to an edge no thicker then a molecule and its dipped in poison. I don't have to worry about accidentally poisoning myself seeing as how I've been inoculated against all known poisons in the world. Get up and fight. We've just begun."

The two Batgirls were battling each other on a beam about three inches wide. Both girls had excellent balance and coordination but the Neo Batgirl seemed to have some kind of inhuman ability to maneuver her body. "You are so pathetic you know that? I like gymnastics but its not as much fun as taking out people like you!" she said chopping the beam in half.

Batgirl back flipped onto another beam and glared at her counterpart. "At least I didn't mutilate my hair! How are you able to do all those moves anyways? It takes years of practice to be able to perform moves like that?" She shot at her.

"Haven't you figured it out yet or do I have to spell it out? I'm sure all your little friends would like to know the truth. Hey guys should I tell them why were so good or let them try and figure it out?" Neo Batgirl called out to her teammates who were doing there best to pulverize the living daylights out of the Justice League.

"No need vampiress! I put it all together. The medical reports, the lab, the training rooms. I was trying to figure how it all fit but after seeing you guys in action and the hints from your folks it's obvious. You've been genetically enhanced haven't you!" Mystic Robin accused her from the opposite side of the room where she been battling her counterpart.

"That's right Genius. Everything about us is perfect. We've not only been genetically enhanced, but we had selective trait breeding done to make sure only certain traits were inherited. Our powers are at their peak and we've eliminated any weakness. We've even got a few special surprises. But the most important thing for you to know is this. We've been trained, educated, and conditioned to be the perfect unit. We've never been beaten and we don't intend to lose to you. So take that you little magic wanabee!" Neo Mystic Robin explained before sending a blast of dark energy at Mystic Robin who ducked into a maze of mirrors.

Neo Mystic Robin landed and walked through the maze waiting for her to attack. "Give up. You have no idea how to control your powers at all. I have seventeen years of experience. You can't match that. Beside my dark magic will beat your light any day of the weak."

"Is that a fact? Well I think you should reconsider that!" Mystic Robin yelled bouncing a blast off the mirror at her counterpart who absorbed it and set it hurling back her. The two magic forces colliding caused a small explosion and the mirror maze shattered. Mystic Robin was on the floor with her Neo Mystic Robin hovering over her. "This is going to be more fun then I thought." She whispered.

Wonder Girl found herself in a pit identical to the training area on Themyscira. Pillars rose up to the sky and there were boulders everywhere with an ivy covered wall behind her and sand underneath her feet. She rolled under a pillar to avoid having her face fractured by her counterpart. Her hand found a discus. Without hesitating she hurled it towards Neo Wonder Girl.

Neo Wonder Girl arms shot up at supernatural speeds deflecting the weapon. It went rocketing towards the sky. She snagged it took aim and hurled right back at Wonder Girl who was barely able to deflect. " Remind you of training doesn't? Or maybe not seeing as how weak you are compared to me. How sad really I was hoping for more of a challenge. How could you possibly been the Amazon's champion? Your so pathetic." She remarked with a smirk on her face.

"Shut the hell up! What's with the boy cut? It looks so tacky! And whom are you calling pathetic. The Goddess blessed me with plenty of gifts and I don't see what they blessed you with besides a bad attitude!" Wonder Girl shot back at her. She picked up a bolder and threw it with all her might at Neo Wonder Girl who didn't even try to block it or get out of the way.

The bolder just crumbled to pieces upon impact. She stretched her arms lazily and yawned in boredom. "Is that the best you can do? You ask what gifts the Goddess gave me? Well they gave me the same ones you have I just make better use of them. Now I believe it's my turn!" She picked up a pillar and whirled it around smacking Wonder Girl in the side. She started to go down but she took to the air and tossed her lasso around the girl. Before she could invoke the power of the Goddess Neo Wonder Girl pulled her down to the ground and tangled her up in the lass. "That's why I never wore that stupid Amazon armor. Not reliable enough."

Neo Green Lantern J. was having the time of his life. He had forced his opponent to the left side of the room where spikes kept coming out of the ground in no order while he pressed his advantage on his weaker counterpart. He formed huge missiles along with several whirling blades. "I just love dangerous weaponry. I created most of the training programs. Hope your enjoying this one. Take that!" He said shooting a deadly burst of green energy at him while shooting the rest of his deadly arsenal from all angles.

Green Lantern J. incased himself in a bubble trying to withstand the barrage of attacks while at the same time launching his own attack. He created a battering ram and tried to bash his way through the attacks but to his shock the evil Green Lantern J absorbed his attack. "How did you even do that? That's supposed to be impossible. No Green Lantern is suppose to have the power to control another Lantern."

"Is that what you've been told? Well I guess that means I'm smarter then you! My Dad trained me to use my power to its most extreme levels. You see I have the most dangerous imagination around and I have the power to make those fantasies come true. What a deadly combination. To bad you wasted your time with basketball." Neo Green Lantern J laughed manically before creating a super tank and having it blast him.

He hit a spike and it pierced his arm. He cried out in pain and looked down in amazement seeing his blood flow freely. Creating a bandage to stop the flow of blood he used his power to pick up the spikes around him and grinned. He twisted them together to form a huge basketball. "You like dangerous weapons and think basketball stinks? Well here's my response to that comment. He fakes left and then right. He shoots he scores!" he shouted tossing the ball at his opponent. It started to crush him when he blew it to pieces. This was going to be harder then he thought.

In the center of the room two girls were locked together in a deadly embrace. Lasers bombarded them and razor sharp disks were being launched at them causing their costumes to be torn to pieces but neither was backing down. This was personal. "What's with the outfit? You a prostitute or something?" Supergirl grunted trying to force her adversary to the ground

"At least I'm not dressed in some clown outfit! Face it girlfriend you are way out of your league. I'm stronger, faster, more powerful then you in every account. I'm going to destroy you." Neo Supergirl said as she started to crush her wrists. Both girls ignored the pain and took to the air. They started using their heat vision on one another.

"What's the matter little girl? Afraid of are or me you scared because I actually have my father's love and respect? He's never denied me anything in my entire life. I get the best of everything and my works of art are found in museums all across the world. Once we reestablish proper order people will read my writings. That's a lot better then you have isn't?" Neo Supergirl said conceitedly. She increased the power behind her attack and soon surpassed Supergirl hitting her square in the chest.

She was knocked for a loop and when she righted herself she looked down at her costume and saw a huge burn mark and chard flesh. Her eyes blazed with intense anger. "You think your father loves you because of all this and that you're better than me because you have more power? Well that's not true and I'm going to prove it!" She shouted. Taking a deep breath she let out huge amount of super breath temporally freezing her foe. But that wouldn't hold her for long. Soon they be fighting again.

The two Martian were in a miniature garden of all things. There where arches, sculptors, twisted pieces of metal rods with rocks and plants. Metal deck plates surrounded them. "Intresting place isn't? I chose to install this one in here because it allows me so many interesting options. Please be honest with me. I like criticism very much. It helps me improve the design. Besides I can always dispose of the person who was critical to me later if I feel like it." Neo Martian Boyhunter said coolly.

"I don't know what your up to, but your tactics are wasted on me. I'm not stupid you know. There's no where to hide and you and I both have the same room to navigate so prepare for a bruising." Martian Boyhunter informed him shifting into a dragon. He beat his wings and soared after him. Right before he bit down he shifted into a piece of metal bonking him on the head. The blow to the head caused him to resume his natural shape. He quickly turned back into his humanoid shape then looked around trying to locate his adversary, but he could be any number of the pieces. "Where are you? Come on out and face me like a man or are you too much of a coward? How is that you can turn into inanimate objects? That's supposed to be impossible!" He demanded nervously.

As he strolled past one of the arches it shifted back into Neo Martian Boyhunter who kicked him in the back sending him sprawling. He crossed his arms and smirked at him. "Oh I can do so much more than you. Thanks to a little gene splicing, experimental drugs, and life altering surgery. What's the matter? To shy and timid to fight back that's a laugh if you ask me. Your not very brave or courageous and your certainly not very strong, which makes me, wonder what your Father's been teaching you. You can't even stand up for yourself. You're not very smart at all in fact you're really quite dumb in my opinion. I have only one question. How do they expect a loser like you to bring back our civilization from extinction? Its beyond me." Neo Martian Boyhunter taunted

The two speedsters zoomed around the edge of the room along a track that was full of holes, whirling blades of death, and occasional projectile weapon. "Why are you even fighting me? You're a clone of my father not me. Don't you have anything good inside of you?" Flashboy questioned trying to avoid the dangers.

"You're an idiot you know that. I'm far better then the original Flash. Not only did I inherit qualities from my foster mother I was genetically engineered to be the fasted thing ever created. I'm faster than natural phemonomens. I can create tornados; hurricanes, tsunamis and I enjoy it. Were perfect foes in my mind that is if you can provide me a worthy challenge? I'm more like your half brother then your father's clone. In fact I like to demonstrate one of my favorite abilities. Observe and maybe you'll learn something." Neo Flashboy said with a wicked grin on his face. He sped up till he was in front of him. Spreading his arms wide he brought them down hard. The instant they made contact a white beam of energy shot out and hit Flashboy square on.

Flashboy screamed in agony. His entire nerves system felt like it was on fire. He couldn't move or think. He had lost total control of his body. He collapsed to the ground and twitched for several minutes before he felt the strength to get up. He stared at the form of the sneering doppelganger. "What did you do to me you crazy kid?" He asked shakily.

"I formed a beam of highly destructive energy from charged speed particles by creating a high intensity speed force bubble. I can do so much with the speed force. Things your to dumb to imagine. You have too much of a sense of humor and you like to think too much. What a bad combination. You need to be able improvise on the spot and be able to command any sort of situation. You can't do that at all. Shall we try this again? I haven't even broken a sweat." Neo Flashboy said mockingly.

Soaring through a series of flaming hoops was Hawklady and Neo Hawklady. Hawklady was using every flying trick she knew to twist and duck through the hoops without singeing her wings. Hawklady spared a glance over her shoulder and saw Neo Hawklady hot on her tail. Her pointed bo staff extended and charged. "No way am I letting you stick me with that thing." She whispered veering off to the right cutting back left then heading straight through a flaming hoop. She whirled around to face her opponent her own weapon extended but there was no one there. "What? Ahh!" she screamed as a charged bo staff point hit her between her wing joints from behind. She faltered a bit before turning around to face her foe.

"I can't believe you fell for such a rookie move. A real warrior would never have let their guard down, but then again you're not a real warrior, not according to my information. You seem to have not inherited any skills from your mother or father, which I must say, is sorry. I on the other hand have all the skills of a top level Thanagerian warrior." Neo Hawklady said impressively. She dove down at her thrusting her weapon at her Hawklady barely had time to bring up her own weapon to block.

Both girls matched each other move for move till Neo Hawklady decided to play dirty and raked her talon covered hands through her counterparts wings making her lose a lot of feathers. She then grabbed her by the front of her shirt and hurled her over her head slicing a bit of one wing with her metal ones. "Nth metal has so many uses don't you think? Personally I think it's the greatest tool around. It makes me feel so strong and powerful. Helps me dominate over weak religious folk. They're the ones who need to be conquered seeing as how they waste their time and energy praying. Tell me something do you like fire? I know I do and when combined with my element of air it packs quite a punch." She said mysteriously. She raised one hand towards the flaming hoops and closed her eyes in deep concentration.

Hawklady watched in horror as Neo Hawklady started glowing a dark crimson red with a hint of black. The fire shot down from the hoops to her palm where it spiraled around one another. Beaming sadistically at her she lowered her arm and aimed directly at her. " As you can see I have complete control over the Firebird Force, control I've had since I was five! Taste the true power of the legendary Firebird Force wretch!" Hawklady braced herself as she found herself engulfed in twin flaming spirals her bo staff her only protection. When the flames dissipated she was burnt slightly but more angry and confused by what just happened.

"I am not a wretch! Maybe I can't bend the power to my every whim at any time but that doesn't make me weak nor does it mean I'll give up. For someone's whose embraced the dark part of the prophecy you are way to full of yourself. I'm going to bring you down a peg with my own skills!" Hawklady prophesied.

Far below in the deep bowl the two girls of Atlantics fought one another with everything they had. The entire pool was filled with salt water and there were at least two spots of dry land above their heads. The pool had many types of sea life including sharks and dolphins. Neo Aquagirl was using a remote control device to deepen her control over the sharks making them more aggressive and more responsive to her telepathy. Aquagirl was just trying to keep the dolphins alive and well. "You fight surprising well for a commoner. I mean just look at you. Its obvious you don't care for any of the luxuries that go along with being Princess of Atlantics nor do you have any knowledge of the true power you wield. Bull sharks attack!" Neo Aquagirl commanded.

The school of sharks winced in pain as they turned to obey their dark mistress. They swam mouths opened wide at top speeds towards Aquagirl who was just floating in the water. "No you don't. Protect me!" Aquagirl cried out to the dolphins that beat back the menace. She looked at her counterpart and said evenly, "At least I don't act like a spoiled, power hungry, selfish, know it all brat! Just because I like doing things on my own doesn't mean I hate being the princess of my people. As for your reference to power I'm happy with what I got." She swam full force at her letting out a sonic burst, which the evil one canceled with her own.

Both girls swam to the surface and hauled themselves on to land. This fight wasn't over by a long shot. Neither was the chitchat. "You really believe what your saying don't you? Let me tell you something you're nothing you know that. You're a piece of seaweed compared to me. I embrace traditions while you flee from them, I love Atlantico while you despise him, and to top it all off I don't have your weakness. I can survive weeks out of water while your stuck underwater, but when I return my power increase tenfold! But the greatest thing about my powers is this. I can use my empathic powers to force people to feel what I want to feel! You're to noble and honest to do that aren't you?" Neo Aquagirl questioned while using her power over water to make Aquagirl wither in pain. "Did you forget the human body is seventy five percent water? I didn't and thanks to my enhancements I can control the water in your very cells!" she laughed menacingly.

"You're a very bad person you know that. A true princess doesn't abuse her gifts or force her will upon people. Nor does she enjoy torturing people and boasting about her abilities. So shut your mouth before I make you!" Aquagirl said angrily trapping her foe in a water bubble and ducking her back into the pool. Taking a few deep breaths she plunged back into battle.

Up in the viewing room the Justice Lords sat watching everything that was going on with satisfied grins on their faces. The entire monitoring panel was a blaze recording everything that was happening, monitoring the bodies' natural responses, and lastly keeping an eye on their prisoners. To them the battle below was more than the final run of a very expensive long-term project. The Neo Justice Lords were more then their kids, more then an experiment, they were the living embodiment of a testimony of their plans.

"This is far more entertaining then I thought it would be. Look at them they are exceeding far beyond all of our expectations. Every move, every strategy, and every thought perfectly thought out then executed flawlessly. There the end result of a project that was worth all the time, expenses, and experimental treatments. Lets not forget all those long hours training and educating them. The Neo Justice Lords are the perfect fighting unit and the most obedient children ever. I'm so pleased that Nova trusted us with her vision." Justice Lord Hawkgirl said satisfied. She gazed down at the battle with her eyes brimming with tears of joy while she smiled proudly.

"Your right of course. I've been operating the controls to the battle room. Mixing up programs, changing the floor plan, taking it to different levels after different amounts of time. Every single time I make it harder they push themselves harder and the Justice League Unlimited do to! They're performing much better then we originally thought they would. Even though they're clearly outmatched they still fight on and never give up. But soon it will be all over and there's nothing to stop it." Justice Lord Green Lantern commented admiringly. His face hungered for more violence and even more action.

"Yes both teams seem to be doing quite well. I've been monitoring their vital signs as well as energy output, brain activity, and tons of other biological functions. According to the vital readings on our children they all have elevated heart rates, adrenalin pouring, endorphins being given off. In other words their having the time of their lives down there and they haven't even been using a tenth of their abilities. They haven't even broken a sweat! Now on the other hand the readings on the Justice Leagues kids aren't as strong as ours but their not much weaker then us. They're putting their whole hearts and souls into this. They're about ready to call on their reserves. I think its time to use our secret weapon if we want to end this once and for all." Justice Lord Martian Manhunter calmly stated.

"No not just yet. We still haven't brought the Justice League to its knees yet. Revenge isn't any fun if you can't toy with your foes and then torture them a bit. I want them to suffer! To know the agonizing pain of having something that they care about taken away from them forever. Remember it took us years to get our powers back and were still trying to regain control over our reality. They have to pay and the best way is for them to have to continue watching the turmoil going on below us. Besides we have them monitored as well. When the gauges say they've suffered enough will take care of them." Justice Lord Wonder Women said a scowl on her face. She laid her arms on the council and rested her chin on her hands. She sighed and turned to Justice Lord Superman. "Your in charge what do you think?"

He turned to face all of them his arms crossed. His face was set in a permanent frown. He was angry and full of rage. He had been waiting nearly forty years for his revenge. When Nova had told them there was a chance to reclaim all that had been lost he jumped on it. He was the one who had gathered the scientist, the doctors, the engineers, everyone involved in the Neo Justice League project. He was also the one who had made sure the NJL wouldn't betray them ever. He had a program encoded in their DNA making sure they never betray them. He may have loved his daughter, but he didn't want her to become a loose cannon. "We shall proceed according to the plan. First we will have the two teams face off and prove our team is stronger and the one's clearly destined for greatness. After that's over will kill them then their parent's. Then we will take over all of reality. So we can be patient a little while longer."

Meanwhile the Justice League was having there on little conference. They were trying with all their might to break free from their shackles and use their powers so they could help save their kids but they were having their very life force sucked out of them and watching their kids fight to the death was defining their spirits.

"We can't just sit here doing nothing. They're going to get themselves killed! We have to help them." Wonder Women said struggling pointlessly against her bonds.

"Its no use Diana. We can't break free and even if we did were to weak to help them out." Hawkgirl said weakly.

"They do have those two extra friends that I was sensing. That certainly changes things." Martian Manhunter stated.

"The only thing we can do is to watch and pray that they will survive. I mean if they can beat a giant robot and find us they have to be able to survive this. We can't lose faith in them now." Superman said.

"Superman's right. Lets all concentrate on giving them our hope and strength. They can do this if we believe in them. So lets do it." Green Lantern said. They all nodded and closed their eyes for a moment concentrating their thoughts on their loved ones.

Neo Batman and Batgirl had teamed up. They pushed Batman and Batgirl towards the glass plate. They shot off poisoned cables but they dodge them only to wind up bumping into one another. "Watch it! You hit me!" Batman chided. "Watch yourself you jerk." Batgirl shot back while trying to avoid being killed.

"Look at them dear brother. They sure don't act like the infamous Bat Twins we've heard so much about. In fact they remind me of two schoolyard children who don't know how to share. I guess it comes from not growing up together." Neo Batgirl said to her brother.

"I believe your right. They don't know the first thing about being partners; in fact I say they don't know how to work together at all! Not surprising considering the circumstances." Neo Batman laughed long and hard. The way he viewed things they were dirt on his shoes compared to him. Suddenly he heard something coming from his communicator. "Enough with the mocking. I want you and the rest of your team to unleash your secret weapon. Make them suffer and wither in agony now!" Justice Lord Superman ordered. Neo Batman signaled he understood and nodded at his sister. They knew what to do.

They began to circle closer to their counterparts. With a twist of a dial they went invisible. Batman and Batgirl searched frantically only to be caught off guard as they had their stomach elbowed and their sensitive parts kicked. From out of thin air two high tension wire bolo's appeared tying them up. They fell to the floor near the glass. The two Neo's made themselves visible again. Neo Batman kneeled next to his opponent and look him straight in the eye his own crimson ones glowing like embers in a fire. "I know it must be frustrating. I mean look at you. You're the legendary Batman, the World's Greatest Detective, and The Dark Knight. Quite a lot to live up to. You sometimes think you can't do it. Sometimes you wondered if you aren't more like Inque or Blight. After all how many people's lives have you ruined? You're no hero instead you're a killer." He whispered to him.

Batman felt his chest tighten. His head was pounding and his entire body was spazing out. He was trying to break free from his restraints but Neo Batman's words clung to him. In his mind's eye he felt trapped like there was no escape. If this boy in front of him was him down to the last chromosome who was to say what he was preaching wasn't a lie.

On the floor next to him Batgirl was dealing with her own issues. She was trying to burst free from her restraints but Neo Batgirl had driven her heel into her back and was talking to her in a seductive voice. "Your such a fraud. Don't you realize no matter how many people you help, no matter what good you do it will never make up for what you caused. You're the reason your reality was destroyed. Everyone you've ever loved and cared about it gone because of you. You feel guilty about surviving and you should." It was true what she was saying. She did feel that way, but that didn't mean it dominated her. She busted out of her restraints at the same time her brother did. They flipped their counterparts over their head and they landed against the door. A struggle soon occurred and the Bat Twins found themselves up against the glass near the Justice Leagues Batman.

"So what if you escaped from your worst nightmares. That doesn't change the fact that there's a lot of darkness inside of you. Darkness you inherited from your father. Your real father if you understand our meaning." Neo Batman said.

"Yes, that's why you're here isn't it? To confront the issues surrounding your birth aren't we right? Star would have told you the truth. She doesn't believe in keeping secrets. Aren't you the least bit curious about the circumstances surrounding the death of the Justice Lord Batman?" Neo Batgirl asked sly as she electrified her suit.

Batgirl demanded as she tried to get her opponent off her.

"The old man was a fool. He was always kind to our parents. He took an active interest in us. Tried to raise us to be good. When our father died he made us the new Batman and Batgirl. He wanted to make sure we be there to put a stop to the threat of the Lords. He had no way of knowing his plans were doom to fail from the start seeing as how we lack the genes for moral and values of good! He was such a dupe. He trusted only us. After the Lords offered us power, glory, and wealth we did as we were ordered. We shut off the security system, poisoned the dumb dog, and I slipped inside the old man's bedroom cut open his chest with a Batarang and squeezed the life out of his heart. We took over and the rest is history." Neo Batman said smiling at the memory.

Batman looked at him in complete shock. His entire body had just gone numb. How could he ever even imagine let alone do something like that. He felt the rage building inside himself. "Didn't you care about him at all? Didn't you know the truth?"

"Of course we knew the point is we didn't care and soon there will be two more dead Batman." Neo Batman said before Batman socked him in the jaw and Neo Batgirl landed on top of him after her counterpart flipped her off. Both twins spoke in unison. "No one hurts our biological father and gets away with it!" They dove after them not hearing the small gasp uttered from Batman's mouth.

Mystic Robin was using telekinesis to toss the mirrors at her adversary with amazing speed and accuracy. The only problem was that Neo Mystic Robin just wiggled her fingers and the mirrors shattered. "Level one spells aren't going to stop me you know. Your suppose to be the Chosen One, the greatest magical being ever, but sadly without a mentor to teach you how to harness that power your not worth my time. Now how about I show you a neat trick I learned." Neo Mystic Robin said. Snapping her fingers the glass shards became a bunch of serpents who slithered across the floor towards Mystic Robin.

Mystic Robin levitated into the air in fright. Concentrating hard she waved a hand and incased her evil persona in several coils of light. The snakes halted their charge. "That should stop you for a while." She said simply. Suddenly she could hear the evil one's voice in her head. She clutched it in pain and landed among the serpents that began at once to attack her.

"You may have silenced my mouth, but never my mind. It's to highly develop. Thanks to the Justice Lords I never had to suffer the same way you have. They found me when I was a day old and took me away from my so called parents. I've never been alone or under appreciated. Not like you. But that's not your worst fear is it. Let me dig a little deeper." Neo Mystic Robin thought telepathically. With a single thought she was free of the coils and strolled among her pet snakes. "Your afraid of my pets why? There one of the most magical creatures of all. Could it have something to do with your little disease? You can't get close to anyone because of it. Well that's to bad because I can." She snickered.

Concentrating all her powers into one attack she burst free from the snake pile and charged at her opponent who had taken on the appearance of a spliced Kobra operative. "What's the point of this trick? You think I don't understand you."

"No trick I used my genius to invent splicing that can be turned off and on. I'm Queen of Kobra and happily married to Zander. Kobra supplies almost all of our Black Market operations. I just use Lucas over there as a sex toy although I will bear his children one day." She informed her before she felt the force of the elements on her. Apparently her good side didn't like it that she was a two timing bitch.

Wonder Girl was breathing hard and getting tired. All of this fighting was taking a toll on her body. She had never had to face such a great challenge before. How did she defeat herself? The answer to that question would have to wait. The she demon was trying to dislocate her shoulder. She gritted her teeth in pain and lashed out her foot breaking free. She stumbled a few feet away. "Do you embrace any Amazon beliefs or is this it?" she demanded.

"Don't you get it at all? I am a Goddess! My sisters should worship me, the Gods and Goddess should honor me above all else, and the world should bow down before me. I am better then anyone. Those beliefs I do cherish. You wouldn't understand seeing as how you can't even think of yourself as an Amazon. The only reason Mother had sex with a man is because we needed the genetic material for some of the later experiments. Tyson's wealth and influence was a bonus. But then you wouldn't know that seeing as how you're to afraid to accept the fact you have a father." Neo Wonder Girl cackled as she picked her up and tossed her high into the air before smacking her into the floor.

Wonder Girl's mind raced with all sorts of thoughts. She knew she had to fight to save her mother, but it was true. She was unsure how to deal with Tyson. He was her father, but still did that make her less of an Amazon. She didn't know but one thing was clear. "Don't you dare insult my father in front of my face you poor excuse for a warrior. You're Heckate if I ever saw her and I'm going to put you back underground!"

The two Emerald Warriors were continuing with their sparing, but Green Lantern J. was tiring. He just couldn't think as fast as the evil version that seemed to posses the mind of a computer. Neo Green Lantern J. had stopped hurling missiles at him and now grinned at him as he incased him in a cage without air. "That's right suffocating. You don't deserve to call yourself a Lantern. The Guardians were wrong in choosing you." He told him insultingly. He suddenly felt a build up of energy and had to back away quickly to avoid being injured by the energy backlash. "So you do have a spine after all. Still it doesn't really matter. I know what your greatest nightmare is and I'm going to make you live it!" He said his eyes glowing brightly.

Green Lantern J sank to his knees and pressed his hands to his ears to block out the voices he was hearing. It was his father's voice echoing loudly and then there was his mother's voice mixed in with that as well. He could see them looking down at him disgusted and disappointed by him. "You will never live up to the person your father wants you to be. You can never be the great military man he was nor can you outshine him as a Green Lantern. You fear disappointing your mother because you don't think you have what it takes to achieve your dreams of professional basketball and that your inventions will be used against you. Face it you're a failure." Neo Green Lantern J. whispered into his ear.

Focusing all of his power inward he pushed back the false visions. He cleared his mind of those fears and doubts. He would deal with them later. Right now there were more important things to worry about. He stuck out his fist and created a bubble around his foe. "Your going to wish you hadn't done whatever you did to me. Whatever issues I have with my father is my business not yours. So I suggest we work out our issues here and now!" he yelled bouncing him up and down before he commenced with his attack.

Not to far away it was a full out battle between Neo Supergirl and Supergirl. Both girls seemed equally dedicated to their father's will and were using all there powers on one another, but Neo Supergirl seemed just as strong as her father. "You are just delaying the inevitable. Your resistance is futile. I will defeat you and once I have destroyed you I will take great pleasure in killing your father. He is so weak and kind hearted. It makes me want to puke."

"I don't understand you at all. How can you possibly be me? You seem to take great joy out of using your powers to harm people. You seem to care a lot more about your Kryptonian half then you're human. Have you no conscience at all? What makes you hate your human side and have such awesome power?" Supergirl demanded as they continued to struggle.

"I don't expect you to understand that all. Its true my mother was human and my father did love her but she didn't follow the program. She tried to corrupt me and take me away from my father. She died when I was six. I watched her execution vowing never to be as defenseless and worthless as she was. My human half has been made dormant over the years as my other half was optimize to its fullest potential. But then again you're a little freaking half-breed. You don't fit in with either humans or Kyrptonians. You will never belong and you can't honor both sides can you? That's your greatest fear after all. Am I right?" Neo Supergirl let on.

Supergirl went into a superspin getting the weight off her back. She then zipped around and hit her foe from all angles several times with in a mere three seconds. "You got a lot to learn about me. Rule number one. Never call me a half breed!"

The two Martians had stopped physically fighting and now were using their telepathic powers on one another. This was very dangerous seeing as how they could make the other one inflict real damage if they wanted to. Also why they were linked like this they had equal access to their each other's mind and the Neo one was taking full advantage to mess with the Unlimited head. "What is it that I sense from you that you keep hidden from the rest of the world? I know that you fear isolation and that no one will ever support you in your plans, but that's not what keeps you up at night. Its something far more personal, something that's been looming over your head for years and recently has taken on a whole new meaning. Yes I think I've extracted it. Its your destiny isn't? Your worst fear is that you'll never bring back your beloved Mars and its people from extinction. You fear that all the preparations and training has been for nothing. Not to mention that Shania isn't part of the plan even though you want her to be. Well don't worry about a thing. Soon the responsibility will be off your shoulders seeing as how you're going to be deceased soon!"

"I will resist you with everything I have! I will not let you win this battle of the minds. You're worse then the invaders who destroyed our ancestral home. I will not let my fears overwhelm me. I will control them and you will not use them against me. I fear you have underestimated me."

Flashboy was pouring his heart out trying to use every trick he knew to keep up with his double. He had tried several times unsuccessfully to manipulate the speed force to his advantage, but every time he seemed to succeed his counterpart was one step ahead and attacking with a stronger attack. "What's the matter? Running out of steam? Is the son of the fastest man alive losing his touch? Face it kid you may be able to control your metabolism for extended periods of super speed, but I'm invincible. You're not worth getting rid of and you want to know why? You're just like your old man. You can't accomplish anything at all. That's what your really afraid of isn't it? That you'll end up just like him working as a janitor and barely passing collage. I mean how an idiot like that hooked up with your mother is beyond me. I guess that makes you the world biggest joke or mistake!" Neo Flashboy gloated his ruby red eyes boring into Flashboy.

"Shut up about my folks! You don't have a clue what you're talking about seeing as how you're a clone! I'm going make you regret crossing my path even if I have to burn myself out chasing you. Now hold still long enough for me to strangle you!" Flashboy growled sprinting after his antagonist.

In the air Hawklady was already under mental attack. Her mind was racing and she was having difficulty hovering in the air. It seemed no matter where she turned she came face to face with a ghost. "What is this? What are you doing to me?" she cried out as she tried to get away from them.

"Its so simple really. You're experiencing your worst nightmare only ten times stronger then normal. Every little doubt and fear you've hidden away I can see quite plainly. Your parents and half brother are great warriors. They enforce the laws and protect people. But look at you. You can't even conscienceless control the greatest force known to our people, you want to be a doctor, and you have to bring peace to a planet that doesn't want peace. Face it little girl your to much of a pacifist to win a fight!" Neo Hawklady laughed

Whirling around her bo staff while she got rid of the images in front of her and flew right up to her face and whacked her on the head. Neo Hawklady faltered in the air but quickly righted herself. "You think your stupid little tricks will beat me? Think again!"

Water was splashing everywhere as the two Atlantians sent tidal wave after tidal wave at one another. Neither seemed ready to back down. "I can sense that your tired and that I disappoint you. But isn't the truth that you're disappointed in yourself? After all I'm you, the real you. The one that you long to be. The perfect little princess who does what she's supposed to do and when people don't listen I make them do what I want. That's what your fear is."

Aquagirl let loose a barrage of sonic blast. She kept firing till Neo Aquagirl was on her back. "I don't know what your up to or how your making my friends and I view our worst fears, but I won't stand for it." She said between breaths.

What was going on in the chamber below was displeasing the Justice Lords. Although they were still winning and the Justice League Unlimited was using up the last of their reserves, it was their ability to resist the nightmares that was bothering them. "This has gone on far enough. Its time to end this little game. Neo Justice Lords finish your fights and take care of them now!" Justice Lord Superman ordered.

"With pleasure. You heard the boss team. Its time to finish this." Neo Batman ordered. Each of the Neo Justice Lords jumped back and formed a circle in the center of the room each staring at their counterparts. Their eyes started to glow a more intense crimson red and suddenly the Justice League started collapsing to the ground. It was as if their very life force was being stolen from them. Soon they were too weak to fight and they were dragged to the center of the room and the Neo Justice Lords formed a perimeter around them.

"We have to get up and fight. They can't win. The stakes are to high!" Batman whispered struggling to sit up but ultimately failing.

"This can't be how it ends." Batgirl said weakly as she gazed around her staring at what was going to be the cause of her death.

"Face it goody goodies. You lost this battle. What they say isn't true. Good doesn't always conquer evil." Neo Batgirl laughed harshly.

"Your parent's have a front row view of your demise. Don't worry they won't have long to grieve seeing as how they'll be dead in a matter of minutes." Neo Wonder Girl said.

"Remember to take their crystals first before destroying them. They contain the power we need to rule the world." Neo Supergirl said. The others nodded their heads and reached out for the crystal necklaces. There was nothing to stop them from taking them. But the moment they placed a hand on them they started shrieking in pain. The crystal necklaces were electrocuting them!

They let go and jumped back. They glared angrily at them and fired an attack but the crystals shined a bright light blocking them from the League. Suddenly they Justice League Unlimited heard Star's voice in their heads. "Even in your darkest hour there is a ray of hope."

"You can't take our crystals because you're evil and because we still live there going to protect us. There shining light is our ray of hope." Mystic Robin said getting to her feet.

"Now we understand. The crystals are the symbols of our pure hearts. There powers aid us in our mission, a mission you can't stop because of what it is." Wonder Girl said.

"We may argue and yell at our parents. And you may be able to make us view our worst nightmares with those eyes of yours, but that won't stop us. Nothing will stop us because it's our destiny to save the world." Green Lantern J. said.

"The crystals will revive us and bring us back to full strength." Supergirl added as they all glowed gold. They were instantly healed and refreshed.

"Star also said two other important things. Friendship is an important gift and that we shouldn't forget that." Martian Boyhunter declared.

"You may be the supreme fighting team, a perfect unit, but I doubt your friends. That's your undoing." Flashboy.

"Not to mention love is a pretty important force to. You know nothing but hatred which means you can't care." Hawklady stated.

"The love we feel for one another and our parents is more then enough to defeat you and the Lords. So lets say we play one more round?" Aquagirl suggested.

"Justice League Unlimited Go!" they all shouted. Each jumped at their counterpart so quickly it caught them off guard and they weren't prepared for the swift attack to follow.

Aquagirl pushed Neo Aquagirl into the water. She dove in after her and let loose the loudest sonic burst she ever had sending the evil one spinning underwater. She then used her telepathy to have all the dolphins drag her across the floor of the pool before using their tails to hit her onto dry land. She stood up clearly shaken. "Where are you? Come on out from hiding this very instant!" Neo Aquagirl said. She tried to use her empathic powers to locate her but no luck.

Suddenly the water exploded behind her and deposited Aquagirl who was smiling calmly. "You are so filled with hate and anger that your own powers betray you. Mine on the other hand never will. Tsunami attack!" She shouted her crystal doubling her powers. Neo Aquagirl could only watch in horror as the spiral column of water at her. It pounded on top of her and when the water cleared she was passed out. "I win. Now I better go help Hawklady stay put you forgery." She told her defeated foe.

Hawklady was once more flying at breakneck speeds through the hoops in the air. The only difference was she was the chaser and the chased was the evil version. They had just cleared the last hoop when she hit in the back between the wings with her electrified bo staff causing her to shriek in pain. "Maybe next time you shouldn't wear metal that conducts!"

The evil one reversed her position and glared hatefully at her. "I'm going to incinerate you!" she threatened her. She started to glow dark red getting ready to use her control over the Firebird force when a spiral of water hit her in the side. She sputtered and stopped glowing. Looking down she saw Aquagirl getting ready with another attack. "YOU! I'm going to rip you to shreds!"

"Hey leave my friend alone its me you want! I was raised to believe that peace was the way to go, but you have tested those limits. Now I have to make sure your not going to cause harm to someone else!" Hawklady said as she started glowing orange all over her. Soon a large a bird of made out of fire surrounded her. She focused the power and sent it after the evil one. It encased her stripping of the ability to control the Firebird Force. The girl fell towards the ground where Aquagirl caught her and lowered her to the ground. Hawklady landed next to her. "That was easy. Now lets help our friends."

Flashboy was running circles around Neo Flashboy who was getting angry. "Stand still so I can kill you!" He yelled. "You're not going to destroy me. You can't even catch me. Come on I dare you to come get me." Flashboy said standing still. So full of anger and rage the evil Flashboy sped towards him when suddenly he lost his momentum and fell flat on his face unable to move. What had happened? "You seem to have forgotten an object in motion tends to stay in motion until it hits another object. I just used the speed force to cancel your speed causing your momentum to plunge to zero. Now sleep tight I have some friends I need to help."

Martian Boyhunter yawned lazily as his rival tried to land a blow on him, but nothing connected because he was phased. He smiled at him before shifting into a huge monstrous beast. He attacked him using that form to weaken him just as Flashboy sent a massive whirlwind at him as well. "Use the crystal's power!" He suggested to his friend.

"Thanks I was going to. I never have been able to enter people's minds the same way my father has. Now I think is a perfect time to do that." Martian Boyhunter informed his counterpart as his eyes glowed deep orange. Five minutes later he was finished and his opponent was defeated. "That was so much fun!"

Supergirl and Green Lantern J. were doubling up on their doubles. Both of them were using their crystals to teleport all over the place confusing the heck out them. They couldn't believe what was going on. "Ready GLJ?" Supergirl called out once they were behind them. "Ready! On the count of three. One two three!" He shouted both of them hitting the other's double from behind with their beams defeating them. Hi fiving each other they landed so they could secure them.

Wonder Girl was using every ounce of her training to stay one step ahead of Neo Wonder Girl. "Time for a little unorthodox method of training. As Mother always said use the resources at hand!" she said whipping off her tiara and throwing it at her. It hit her in the back of the head. She started to turn to attack but then it hit her again in the middle of her face causing her to black out. "Don't get up on my account." She giggled retrieving the precious tiara.

Mystic Robin was using the most advance form of magic she could think off. She had duplicated her form four times forcing Neo Mystic Robin to chase after clones. "You can't keep this up forever you realize!" she shouted.

"I don't have to. You're right where I want you. Mystic forces come to my aid and help me defeat thy foe!" She chanted. Her hands took on a deep purple glow and suddenly both of them shot out a force that was that literally knocked Neo Mystic Robin off her feet. "Guess I'm the better sorceress."

The Bat Twins were working together. Both of them performing the same moves side by side. They never gave their opponents the chance to recover. Batman grabbed Batgirl by the arm and whirled her around knocking out Neo Batgirl. He then vaulted over his sister and landed a defeating blow to his own copy's face. "That's for killing the old man!" He yelled them.

Up in the view room the Lords where stunned by the turn of events. How could their specially developed unit of warriors fail like this? According to their data it wasn't possible. Suddenly they looked down at the floor where their kids were lying in a heap in the center of the room. The Justice League Unlimited was holding hands in a circle focusing their powers together. A huge ball of power was forming between them as their crystals glowed. Without hesitating for a second they hurled it at the viewing room destroying it and sending the Lords all over the place.

"Now that's taken care off lets finish what we came to do." Batman suggested as they raced across the room, which had now, return too normal. Using their crystals as laser beams they blasted open the door and undid the shackles holding their parents. "Easy now. Take it easy. You're going to be okay." Batgirl said gently.

"Were glad to see your okay. I can't believe the kind of power you wield." Superman said as they started to walk out of the room towards the exit.

"We can talk more later Dad. Right now we have to get out of here before those Lords and their kids get back on their feet." Supergirl told him. Suddenly a burst of black energy hit them all. They fell to their knees and glanced up where the Neo Justice Lords and the Justice Lords were looking at them with anger in their eyes. Around their necks were black crystal necklaces. They were representatives of evil and protected by Nova!

"You have caused us much pain and grief. You couldn't just die and leave us in peace to complete our plans. So now were going to destroy your reality so you can't savor your victory! Combine your powers together now." Justice Lord Superman said darkly. The Justice Lords and their children crystals started glowing black and the entire room began to shake. Suddenly the crystals powers of the kids seem to summon a being that hovered in the air. It was a being of pure black light with flashes of white with long hair and a flowing dress. Her body shone brightly and then she reappeared as a teenage girl with long black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing red halter-top, black jeans with red patches, and red platform shoes with the same jewelry as Star. Her aura wasn't that of serenity, but of power and death. "My name is Nova, the Spirit of Injustice, Entity of Evil, and Representive of Death. I am here to stop the destruction of reality, but also to ensure my team wins this game."

"Not if we can help it! Team I think this is the perfect time to call on Star for help. I mean we are talking about the fabric of time and space. Lets combine our powers now." Batman ordered his team. Following his lead Star soon hovered in the air smiling. "Congratulations on your accomplishments so far. But now its time for Nova and I to step into the game. I will require you and your parents powers to help fight. Just hold your crystals and transfer your powers to me. Now that enough."

"Sister dear it's good to see you. It's been a long and difficult game. Now the queens have taken their place on the playing field. I may be younger by a minute, but this time I win. Justice Lords aid me now." Nova commanded. Black tendrils of light flowed from their crystals into her and she used her Entity powers to send a nova blast at her.

The good energy from the crystals aided Star as she used her own starburst to counter her sister's attack. Star and Nova flew around one another attacking each other again neither sister losing ground. Suddenly the Star glowed even brighter as her team sent her more power. Her starburst knocked her sister flat. "Had enough yet? Shall we end this game or do I have to hurt you for real?" Star demanded.

"No you don't. You have won sister as you were meant to. I will not fight you anymore." Nova said standing up. The Justice Lords began yelling at her and with a blink of her eyes she sent them and their kids back to their own reality. "I shall deal with them later. Rest assured they will get what they deserve. I don't like losing normally, but I can see that you deserve to win this reality. After all your vision was the correct one. You were right Star. They did exceed my expectations. I never thought they get through round one in the tests, but they won everything. I see you at home." Nova said before disappearing.

"Tests? What was she talking about? Star would you please explain what's going on?" Mystic Robin asked.

"Yes please inform us on what is going on here." Wonder Women asked.

There was no sound, no waving of the hands. They were just instantly aboard the Watchtower with the Time Gate up and running. The League was back to one hundred percent health. Everyone turned to stare at her. "Remember how I told you that about your destines? Well I didn't mention that Nova had also had a vision where her team ruled. When two visions conflict each other the people involved must be tested and then fight one another to discover the real vision. Nova had already tested her team so now it was my turn, but because of the precautions I had taken in the future to give you a normal person's perspective I had to test you in the past. So I used the power of your crystals to bring you to the past and thus began the testing. You past all your tests and you exceed not only your expectations, but mine as well." Star said happily.

"What were the tests? Star your test are usually quite obvious at least your past ones. Whatever test you did must have been subtle." Flash observed.

"Correct. They were intended to be that way so they wouldn't realize they were being tested. The first test was when you all met for the first time. Although you fought you discovered your teammates abilities and that you yourself could grow. But the most important part of the test was when you put your faith and trust into one another you learned when not to fight and when to ask for help. That was your first test."

"Your next test was here on the Watchtower. It wasn't really a test more like an observation to see if you knew when it was best to keep secrets such as Max and Marina hidden. That gave you an edge later on because the Justice Lords weren't sure they were coming. But your real test was seeing you work together and learning to be friends. Over the course of six days you created a bond of friendship that was true and unbreakable. But one of your most important tests was when you confronted your parents about the issues you had with them. By admitting how you were feeling and discussing the problem you showed me that you were willing to give them a second chance and your crystals were evolved to respond to you."

Being able to use the crystals was the next test. You demonstrated that you could handle the power and that you were wise enough not to mess with it. By summoning me and accepting your destiny you should a great deal of maturity and responsibility. But the most vital test came when you came together as a team to rescue your parents and never once gave up on yourselves or faltered in your faith. By believing in yourselves you have proven my vision was the correct one and that its time for you to restore the balance in the future. It is time for you to go home." Star said activating the Time Gate with a thought.

"What about the time stream? Hasn't it been contaminated by us being here? I mean the Justice League knows about us now and that changes everything." Max insisted.

"Don't worry I'll take care of it. After you say your good byes and leave I will erase their memories of what happened and alter the events of the last week. It is to soon for them to know the truth. Max, you and Marina will return to your bodies and awaken from a dream like state. You will believe that all you've experienced was a dream, but once you are reunited with the Justice League Unlimited your memories will return. Don't be so glum not even I can truly erase the feelings and memories of a being. A small part of their mind will recall this adventure. Now please hurry and say your good byes." Star instructed.

"Well it's been nice working with you. I had a great time and I can't wait till I got real control over these magic powers." Max said waving good-bye. She strolled up next to the gate and waited for her friends. "Same goes for me. I promise I won't forget this." Marina said joining her.

Shania hugged her mother tightly who folded her wings around her. "Take care of yourself. I know you have awesome power and I want you to be careful with it. Promise me that you'll become the best doctor ever." Hawkgirl whispered.

"I promise Mother. You can be sure of that. Just remember sometimes you have to listen to your heart and ignore duty. I love you." Shania said softly before joining her friends.

Flash had his arm around Gordon and was giving him some advice. "Remember just because your fast doesn't make you better then the rest. Do your best and that will be good enough."

"Thanks Dad. Follow your own advice it will take you places. Bye." Gordon said before sprinting away.

"I hope that I can make up for the problems I have caused you in the future J'osse. You are a very sensitive boy who needs attention." J'onn said solemnly.

"Don't worry you already have. Take care of yourself. Remember I love you." J'osse replied before joining his friends.

Father and daughter were locked in an embrace that seemed it would never end. "I'm so glad that you're okay Kara. I hope you know that I always will love you and I trust you completely." Superman told her.

"I know Dad. I know. My only regret was I didn't get to see Mom while I was here. But saving you made up for that. You're not as bad as that other Superman. I got to go home now. Bye." Kara told him.

Lucas was shaking his Dad's hand firmly. Green Lantern was actually smiling at him proudly. "I'm impressed by the way you handle yourself. There are something's only your own imagination can come up with. I hate to see it stifled for any reason."

"No worries about that. Mom will take care of it. Don't hurt yourself to badly in the future. See you later." Lucas said evenly.

Athena had just finished kissing her mother good-bye. "Now I know how you felt when I left the island. It strange having to say good bye when I'll see you again so soon."

"I know, but your more then capable of taking care of yourself. I'm proud to have such a wonderful daughter. Now go to your friends and if you must date Gordon make sure he doesn't do anything that I wouldn't approve of." Wonder Women told her.

That left Terry and Terra with Batman. They stared at each other for the longest time. "I'm not that good at say good bye. But seeing as how you risked your lives for me I guess you deserve my thanks. Tell me is what they said true? Am I your biological father?" Batman asked

"Yes it is. That changes some things, but not everything. Good-bye Bruce. We love you." Terra said kissing him. Terry just held out his hand and shook it. "When we get back something's are definitely going to change." He joined the others on the platform. Before they stepped through the portal Star gave him a small box and instructed him to give it Bruce. Then they stepped through the gate and where whisked back home.

With a brilliant flash of blue light Terry and Terra found themselves back in the alley. "Were back. Bruce come in. Can you hear us?" Terry said urgently pressing his comlink.

"Terry! Thank God. I've been trying to reestablish contact for the last ten minutes! Report back to the Batcave ASAP." Bruce ordered.

Ten minutes? They had been gone for a week and only ten minutes had passed? That was time travel for you. When they arrived back at the Batcave they surprised Bruce when both of them hugged him tightly. Normally only Terra did that. "What's this all about? What's gotten into you two?"

"You know what's gotten into us Bruce. You knew what would happen if we touched that crystal. Star has explained everything. Including the circumstances of our birth." Terra told him.

"We have a lot to talk about Father. But right now Star wanted you to have this. Open it while we go contact our friends. Plans are to be made." Terry said handing him the box and hurrying to the council.

Bruce was stunned, but did open the box. A bunch of sparkles surrounded him and suddenly he was young again just like the other parents of the other members! He read the note in the box and handed the dog treat that was inside to Ace to eat. The note read: Dear Bruce. I am giving back to you what was lost. Don't waste this opportunity. Open your heart to Terry and Terra. They are your children and you deserve a chance to get to know them the same, as they need to know you. You will also be a protector now its time to protect the next generation. Sincerely Star. P.S. The dog treat will give Ace a few more years as well. Smiling humbly Bruce joined his son and daughter.

The next day they all transported aboard the Watchtower to retrofit it for the Leagues new headquarters. And for the first time in twenty years all the old League members could be with each other and talk. Rex even came to help and got to meet with his half brother for the first time.

After the Watchtower was finished the kids took their places in the conference room. Two seats stayed empty for Max and Marina. "Attention people I have an announcement to make. Working together we saved our reality and now we embark on a new stage of our life. It won't be easy but together we can do it. We just need a leader any suggestions?" Terry asked.

"Do you have to ask? Terry we want you to lead us like you did in the past. We can go over our positions later. Right now you're in charge." Kara said as the others nodded in agreement. Smiling he nodded his head accepting the position and the meeting continued.
