answers to reviewers questions or statements:

Harbinger of Kaos: No, Peter won't be finding a Fury while he's on Earth 3, and no he won't meet a alternate version of himself.

REX5678: Not bad choices there, maybe later in the story.

Djberneman: Your implying he wants to get involved to begin with.

Killerpickle: Boom Tubes are created by Mother Boxes which are essentially hyper advance super computers which both Apokolips and New Genesis use, so why wouldn't they use something that can allow them to travel to other universes? Add the fact that very little can stop a Boom Tube from being opened just about anywhere, the New Gods would be idiots to look into other forms when they literally have a way to bypass most defenses. Also their power isn't centered around Mother Box technology, it's centered around being extremely advance. Yes, Peter is Darkseid's head researcher... not a FRONT LINE COMBATANT THAT WOULD UTILIZE A LOT OF THE KIND OF THINGS YOU ARE SUGESTING. The only people that have gotten into his lab are people he'd allow such as his Furies, who Peter has shown considerable trust in, Kalibak whose one of the few siblings that Peter actually likes and Metron, a being whose Morbius Chair allows him to travel anywhere, so no, not just anyone can walk right in. The only exception to that rule is Scott Free whose known to be the greatest escape artist in the universe.

Laser Crusader: She'll ask about it when things between them are less... hostile. If she asked now, Peter would never really give her a straight answer. The fact he's kept the Cube's existence from her up until now speaks volumes. Diana will interact with Bekka when the Memberance Festival begins. Diana has earned the capabilities of her ax on her down time since she first acquired it. She hasn't learned everything about it obviously, but she's learned a great deal, like how to summon it to her side and to channel her limited electrokinesis, part of being a child of Zeus, through it and have it amplified by the ax's own power.

The great gamer: Let's just say that Darkseid will not be in a good mood in the coming chapters when we see him.

Steelismybody: Hmm *Sniff* *sniff* your knowledge of how the stones work and Darkseid's very nature smells like bullshit. And it's Anti-Life Equation, not formula, and it's not a part of him because Darkseid doesn't have it and even if he did, which would've been pretty fucking obvious, it's not capable of being inherited by any spawn of his. And how is the ANTI-LIFE Equation even remotely related to the Web of LIFE? And he was never married to Bekka, so fuck knows where you got that from. Grayven isn't the greatest son of Darkseid, that's still Kalibak, Grayven is only the heir apparent because his mother is married to his father and Darkseid rather not have to deal with a entitled shit like him that feels slighted at this moment given the threats his empire is under. No Peter is annoyed because he's surrounded by people with narrow minded, flawed and ridiculous beliefs and morals.

"So your a New God?"

Peter blinked at the sound of Lex Luthor's voice and turned to see the man from another universe standing a few meters from Peter.

"Yes" Peter said after a few moments of staring at the man.

"And Zunn is your half brother?" Luthor said with a furrowed brow.

"Yes, younger one to be specific" Peter said with a small nod before he glanced back at the door where Diana and her little Justice friends were currently discussing what to do about Luthor.

The man's appearance had caused a bit of a stir amongst the League when they arrived on the Watchtower to inform the rest of what had transpired. Superman seemed particularly on edge around the bald human, more so than anyone. According to Diana, he and this universe's Lex Luthor were mortal enemies or something along those lines. Peter found it hard to believe that a mere human has been able to match and even best the Kryptonian but than again, perhaps he wasn't giving the human enough credit.

Or Superman was an idiot... maybe both.

'Than again, all it'll take to match a Kryptonian under a yellow sun is either use red solar energy, or magic' Peter thought as he leaned against a console with a bored look under his armored mask 'Or nanotechnology to forcibly separate the man's body at the microscopic level. Or just take a anti-matter blaster and shoot him in the face. Or use-'

"What do you think their talking about in there?" Luthor said as he glanced at the door where the League was with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Probably on whether or not they can trust you. Apparently a version of you that lives on this Earth is 'evil'" Peter said the last word with a sarcastic eye roll.

Luthor nodded slowly at this "Well... I hope they don't hold that against me"

"Their the Justice League, they hold anything they can against you" Peter said with a snort of grim amusement as he pointed to himself "They hold the fact I'm from Apokolips and the son of Darkseid against me all the time"

"I'm pretty sure anyone would if they've ever encountered either" Luthor said with a small grin "You Apokoliptians don't exactly have the best reputation in the multiverse. Conquest, enslavement, genocide, and that's just what I've heard of. God only knows what else your people get up to"

"Clearly they've never met Thanos and his Black Order" Peter said with a shake of his head "Damn thing's wiped out entire universes as a tribute to Death and others just because he was curious to see what would happen"

"Thanos, big guy, purple skin, gives off a sense of horror and doom?" Luthor said as he cupped his chin in thought "Wears golden armor?"

"Oh you've met the guy? Yeah that's him" Peter said with a nod before he turned his gaze towards Luthor and had his lenses narrow "So why are you here? Really? I doubt it's just to get this universe's League's help"

"What makes you think I'm here for more?" Luthor asked.

"Call me paranoid, but a man as smart as you wouldn't have come all this way just for some extra muscle to take on this 'Crime Syndicate' of yours" Peter said with narrowed eyes "So that means your either looking for something else. What it is I'm not sure, but I'm willing to bet it involves that Quantum Energy capsule you have on you"

Luthor's eyes widened in shock at this and Peter saw the man's hand instinctively reach towards a compartment he had on his war suit's belt before he caught himself.

"How long have you known?" Luthor asked with a guarded expression.

"It's what tipped me off to your arrival before you even fully materialized in this universe" Peter said as he stared at the man with an growing grin "Traveling across universes with such a primitive container for that much energy is dangerous. It's a wonder why it didn't go off"

"Dumb luck most likely" Luthor admitted with a sigh "The Crime Syndicate is planning to use the Quantum Trigger for something. a weapon of some sort, and I was hoping to leave it here while your League helps me deal with them. Once that's done I'd come back and retrieve it... or leave it here if my world still proves to be too unsafe for it"

Peter hummed at this before he spared a brief glance at the doors before he retrieved his Mother Box from his suit's subspace compartment with one hand while he held out the other "Give it here"

"What?" Luthor said with confusion as a Boom Tube suddenly opened up and a Parademon appeared out of it.

"The League doesn't have the capability to house Quantum Energy like the kind your running around with. My brother's home however does" Peter said before he sighed "Or at least, his wife has a weapons locker in their basement that can house it"

Why Barda needed a weapons locker rated to hold quantum bombs and antimatter shredders was beyond him.

"How do I know you won't just have the Quantum Trigger taken to Apokolips and used in some sort of doomsday weapon?" Luthor said with a frown as his gaze darted back and forth between the Parademon and Peter.

"How do I know that your not leading my wife and her friends into a trap on your Earth and have them all killed?" Peter countered with a hint of warning in his tone "Consider this insurance, on the off chance you try something that doesn't sit well with me, you won't have your ultimatum to do whatever it is you want"

Of course Peter could just tell Diana and the League about Luthor's little Quantum Trigger, but considering the snide comment he received from Green Arrow only a few minutes ago, he wasn't feeling very cooperative today. Besides, you never know when you'll need Class Two weapons grade Quantum Energy...

Luthor stared at Peter for a long moment with a displeased look on his face before he sighed in frustration and retrieved the Quantum Trigger from his suit's belt and tossed it to Peter. Once the New God had it, Peter handed it off to the Parademon and waited for it to re-enter the Boom Tube back to his and Diana's house before closing it.

"If you try to use that for anything horrific, there isn't a distant barren moon in the universe that I won't hunt you down to" Luthor threatened with a glare.

"Please, like you'd be able to catch me" Peter said just as the doors to the League's meeting room opened and they stepped out.

"What's going on here?" Green Lantern, Hal, said as he looked back and forth between the two.

Peter and Luthor both glanced at the team of heroes for a moment before sharing a look with one another.

"...Nothing" Peter said after a few seconds as he pushed himself off the console he was leaning against and turned to leave "If you need me holder of my heart, I'll be waiting for you at home"

"Your coming with us I'm afraid" Diana said, causing Peter to freeze mid-step and shoot a look of surprise back at the Amazon, one that was mirrored by her colleagues.

"Wait what?!" Hal said with surprise as he turned towards Diana "Woman, are you out of your freaking mind?"

"Yeah, lets bring him to another universe where he can kill and maim people" the Flash said with a hint of bitterness in his tone as he stared at the New God with a displeased frown.

"What can I say, hearing children cry and scream in pain after getting dismembered helps arouse me in time to engage in sexual intercourse with my wife" Peter fired back, causing the glare on Flash's face to darken, one that was mirrored by Superman.

"Peter, knock it off" Diana said as she glanced at the rest of the League "I'll return momentarily, I need to retrieve a few things from my home before we depart"

Superman stepped forward to say something but a hand on his shoulder from Batman stopped him.

"Go, we still need to coordinate with the members who aren't going to this parallel Earth" the Dark Knight said.

Diana nodded and flew over to Peter as he retrieved his Mother Box and used it to open up a Boom Tube to take the two back down to Earth.

...

"Why do I have to go?" Peter asked with a frown ten minutes later.

Once the two had arrived back at their home, Diana wasted no time in changing into her armor for the upcoming mission.

"Because the last time I let you run around without me, you killed Bruno and several guards at Oscorp" Diana said as she paused in slipping on her boots to stare at Peter with a deadpanned expression "I'd rather not see you try to top that"

"First of all, I didn't kill Bruno, his high velocity impact with the solid ground did. Second, those guards at Oscorp were dead anyway" Peter said with a dismissive wave of his hand.

"How so?" Diana asked with a frown.

"They shot at me, automatic death sentence" Peter replied with a shrug.

Diana shook her head as she finished slipping into her outfit and retrieved her Mother Sword along with her lasso of Truth and Jarnbjorn. She considered taking her shield before deciding against it, she had enough equipment to face any adversary she's likely to encounter on this alternate Earth. Plus she had her nigh invincible bracelets to act as a last line of defense.

"Why are you going anyway?" Peter asked as he watched his wife prepare for 'their' upcoming mission "It's not your Earth and barring any possible incursions into this universe from theirs, you have literally no reason to go and get involved"

"Innocent people are suffering Peter" Diana said as she glanced at her husband with a unreadable expression "The only thing that's keeping he Crime Syndicate from taking over their world is the threat of Nuclear Retaliation. If this Syndicate is as powerful and as smart as we've been told by Luthor, it won't take them long to find a way to render that option for humanity useless"

"How do we know their innocent?" Peter countered with a raised brow "We're going off what one man has said. We don't know the whole story of what's going on on his Earth. For all you know, he's the bad guy and this Crime Syndicate is a well crafted lie he's using to get you to come over to his world so he can wipe you out. He could be in league with them even"

"Martian Manhunter read his mind to confirm if he was telling the truth" Diana said as she folded her arms across her chest "And he can tell if someone is being sincere or not by the intensity of the memories and the emotional responses to them"

"Memories can be easily implanted and behavioral responses can be made to react to certain memory appropriately" Peter said with a shrug "It's so easy that Zunn of all people can do it"

"And on the off chance that he isn't lying?" Diana asked as she brushed past Peter and into the hall, pulling her Mother Sword free so that she can use it to return to the Watchtower where the rest of the away team was waiting "Your willing to condemn billions of innocents to a life of fear and uncertainty?"

"His universe, his problem, no need to get involved" Peter repeated with a scoff as he followed after Diana and watched as she opened a Boom Tube in their living room "What good does getting involved do for you? For anyone? It's just opening up the door to more issues or unnecessary pain later down the road"

"It's the right thing to do" Diana said as she turned back towards Peter and eyed his suit up and down "Are you ready or not?"

"To go bumbling into another universe on nothing more than some man's word? Yeah, I am" Peter said with an eye roll as he had his mask reassemble around his face and the yellow bio-lights all cross his suit switch to a dark red.

The armor's surface also changed, with the metal growing thicker and more angular in appearance along the shoulders, thighs, shins, forearms and head, giving him a more exoskeletal like appearance. After the failed infiltration of Oscorp, Peter had taken his suit apart and with a few deliveries from Ultron, upgraded his suit to something much more fit for combat. Fighting low tier Demon Lords and half dead Old Gods was one thing, but going up against people who had access to weapons' that half of which Peter had made himself, was another matter entirely.

That, and Kalibak sent a discreet message to Peter earlier that day warning him that one of their father's largest Parademon factories in the universe he was currently in had just been wiped out. A planet that was far too close for Peter's elder sibling's liking. Peter wasn't too bothered, if whatever it was that was wiping out his father's worlds showed up on Earth, Peter could easily Boom Tube himself and Diana back to Apokolips while the League dealt with whatever it was.

"You've been busy I see" Diana nodded towards Peter's armor, taking note of the more aggressive appearance it sported.

"What else do you think I've been up to here while you've been out playing hero, just spying on our neighbors?" Peter said with a shrug.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you were doing that as well" Diana said with a shake of her head as she used her sword to open a Boom Tube back to the Watchtower "Come, we'll be late"

"Yessss love of my life" Peter said with an eye roll as he followed his wife into the boom Tube and found himself almost instantly on the Watchtower.

"Love of your life? I'm sure Carol would love to hear that" Diana said with a faint grin as she and Peter stepped out of the portal.

"Maybe" Peter said as he looked around and saw that they arrived in the Watchtower's hanger where the Team going to this alternate Earth was already assembled.

There was Superman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, the Flash, and-

"Donna?" Diana blinked in surprise at the appearance of her sister... along with Nightwing.

"You didn't think I'd sit this one out, did you?" Donna asked with an amused smirk at her elder sister's reaction.

Diana stated at Donna for a moment before her eyes darted towards Nightwing and ever so slightly cooled "And your here because...?"

"Batman thought you might need me" Nightwing said with a sheepish grin "And well Donna asked and I thought 'What the heck?', hehehe..."

Diana's gaze seemed to bore into Nightwing's, causing the man's back to stiffen ever so slightly as he found himself the center of the powerful Amazon's attention... and not in a good way.

"I see..." Diana said after a moment before she glanced at Superman "And who will be remaining behind to cover down for our absence?"

"Batman's called in a number of reservists to augment for the League while we're away" Superman said as he nodded towards Luthor "We don't expect to be over there very long, but better safe than sorry"

Diana nodded at this while Peter approached the alternate Lex Luthor "So, where we going?"

"My Justice League's base of operations. We can use the data we've gathered on the Crime Syndicate and it's operations and plan out a counter attack" Luthor revealed.

"Why not just teleport us right into the heart of their base and take them by surprise?" Peter asked with a frown.

"Do you know who'll be there and have the appropriate countermeasures to their abilities?" Lex asked with a raised brow.

"No, but-" Peter began before he was interrupted by Luthor.

"Do you have a way out of their base of operations in the event that we're overrun, and believe me, they will overrun us with sheer numbers alone, on the off chance that my teleporter is destroyed or taken by the Syndicate" Lex said as if he was talking to a child, which was slowly pissing Peter off.

"No, but you can-" the New God began before he was once more cut off by Luthor.

"And what if their base has sensors that lets them know that someone is trying to teleport in? What if those defenses scatter us or completely redirect us to somewhere of their choosing? Not only will we have lost the element of surprise, but we'll be the ones on the defensive-"

"Peter is not a warrior Luthor" Diana interrupted the man with a calm expression as she stepped next to Peter and placed a hand on his shoulder, more to keep him from lunging at Luthor and ripping his throat out "You'll forgive him for seeming to be seemingly ignorant of simple and complex battle tactics"

"I'm not ignorant, I just think that teleporting into their base will be the better option. They'll never see it coming" Peter scowled.

"You don't know Owlman apparently" Luthor said before he glanced at Superman "Are you and your people ready?"

"We are" Superman said with a nod before he casted a stern glance at Peter "You better not try anything funny while we're over there"

"Or what, you gonna eave me there?" Peter asked with a snort.

"Peter..." Diana said before she shot Clark a look when he began to open his mouth with a response. Once she was sure the man of steel wouldn't say anything, she turned her attention back to her husband "We'll be in a universe that your father isn't aligned with. Which means things that you could've gotten away with on our Earth, you won't be able to there. Once more, you'll be facing parallel duplicates of me and the rest of the League who won't hold back should you cross their path"

"Oh no, a Superman that probably liters and jaywalks, what ever shall I do?" Peter said in mock fear before he noticed the grim expression on his wife's face.

"No Peter... a Superman that will kill you if given the chance" Diana stated.

"Than I'll shoot him in the head with a kryptonite bullet or something" Peter said with a scoff before he glanced at Luthor "You people have that on this Earth we're going to, right-"

BOOM!

Every turned to see a Boom Tube opening up not far from where Diana and Peter's had first appeared. The Justice League tensed at the sight of the portal and waited for someone to step through. Luthor had already raised a arm towards the portal, his fist glowing with yellow energy as he aimed at where he expected a head to emerge. Peter and Diana simply stared at the portal with varying looks of confusion. After a few moments, two figures emerged from the portal.

"-And I told you that I'm sorry. I thought you'd like it is all" said one of the figures, a tall beautiful woman covered from head to toe in dark blue, red and gold colored armor, with a large club like weapon hanging at her waist.

"I had to sever my hands to get out Barda!" the shorter figure said, a man dressed in a red, yellow and green colored suit.

"Who the hell are they?" Luthor said as he glanced at the League, or more specifically, Peter and Diana.

"Scott and Barda" Peter blinked at the sight of the two New Gods "Huh, didn't know they were coming to visit. Would've asked them to pick me up something from my lab"

Scott and Barda continued to argue about something related to breaking out before they stopped and noticed the Justice League, Peter, Dian and Lex Luthor looking at them. Barda narrowed her eyes at the sight of Luthor before she turned towards Peter and Dian and gave them both a small bow, though the one aimed at Peter was a tad bit lower than the one towards Diana. Scott simply waved at Peter before he gave a nod of greeting towards the Justice League before he noticed Luthor.

"Uh, why is Luthor here?" Scott pointed towards the man.

"Alternate Earth apparently" Diana said as Scott and Barda approached them all "He requires our help in freeing his world from a group of superhumans that call themselves the Crime Syndicate"

"Oh I've met them, nasty group" Scott said with a shiver "Especially their speedster and his... whatever the hell that size changing woman is to him"

"Someone's gotten around the multiverse" Peter said dryly.

"Appose to you mister barricade himself in his lab for days on end?" Scott said with a smirk before he spared a glance at Barda and some unseen conversation passed between them.

The Fury nodded before Scott gestured for Peter to follow him, away from the League and the visitor from an alternate Earth. Peter shrugged as he followed after his foster brother until they were a reasonable distance away. Before Scott could say anything, the lights on Peter's suit glowed blue before settling on a pale white color.

"Gave us some privacy" Peter gestured towards the lights "Suit emits a localized vacuum that'll surround us. Sound won't travel out, but it won't travel in. Also limited oxygen, so be fast on whatever it is you wanted to say"

"We..." Scott paused for a moment to glance at Barda who was busy speaking with the Justice League before he returned his gaze to Peter "We needed to get away for a while. Till the festival at least"

"Father upset?" Peter asked with a hint of worry in his voice.

Whenever Darkseid was upset, those around him tended to be the outlets of his frustrations. There was a reason why so few children of his survived to adulthood, and why so few continued to live long afterwards.

"Extremely" Scott said with a shiver as memories of the past few days flew through his mind "He... he beat Kalibak and Grayven half to death this morning when he stumbled across them. No reason to on their part, he just started to beat them to a bloody pulp. Grail whom he found watching over Armria, he broke both her legs and threw her out into the deadlands to 'walk back'"

"What about En Sabah Nur?" Peter asked with a frown "Is he still on Apokolips?"

"Darkseid had him beat his own son William to Death" Scott said in a grim tone.

"What's set him off?" Peter asked with wide eyes.

"The Parademon factory he lost recently to... whatever it is that's been destroying father's planets lately" Scott revealed with a grim expression "Apparently it was growing a new breed, one mixed with the DNA of Armria's guardian. He was planning to use those in the coming war with New Genesis"

"Shit..." Peter said with fear in his eyes.

"So Barda and I decided to get away from Apokolips before father decided to come looking for me" Scott said with a tired sigh "The Source knows he's been looking for an excuse to pay me a violent visit since my return to Apokolips"

Peter nodded solemnly at this before he glanced back towards his wife "Well, you can stay with me and Diana. Granted it's your house we're in but I figured you'd prefer it to being up here"

"We'll take the guest room. Barda likes the bed in there more anyway" Scott said with a faint grin.

Peter hummed at this before something occurred to him "Why'd you appear on the Watchtower instead of Boom directly to your place?"

"I had my Mother Box seek yours out so I could fill you in on what's happening back home" Scott said as he held up his own Mother Box.

"Right, right..." Peter said before he glanced back at he team set to travel to the alternate Earth before turning his gaze back towards Scott "You wanna come with us?"

"I'd rather not" Scott said with a shake of his head "The last time I met the Crime Syndicate, I ended up with a broken spine, third degree burns over half my body and violated by Superwoman"

"Superwoman?" Peter said with confusion "Who's that?"

"Wonder Woman's counterpart" Scott said with a look of distaste "The perfect mate for Zunn or Grayven in my opinion. She makes Kunla seem preferable. She dresses the same and has no shame with her libido"

"What a lovely image she must make" Peter said before he noticed that it was getting a little hard to breath "Well, I guess I better drop the vacuum dome before we suffocate"

"Can we really suffocate? We're Gods after all. Our bodies don't really rely on air like most mortal species do" Scott said with a thoughtful look on his face as Peter dropped the localized vacuum.

"True, but it's still a very unpleasant experience" Peter said as he and Scott went to rejoin the rest of the League.

"That's a matter of debate" Scott said with a chuckle as he nodded towards Barda "Ready to go honey?"

"I am" Barda nodded towards her lover before she turned to Diana "I'll be sure to check on the Parademons while your away. and make sure they don't eat any more neighbors pets"

"Thank you" Diana said with a nod of thanks towards her fellow Fury.

"But if they've pissed or shit on my floor I'm killing them all" Barda said with a straight face.

"Their house trained... I think" Peter said with a frown as he cupped his chin in thought "You know, now that I think of it, the small study that Scott had set up next to the kitchen did smell kinda vile this morning"

"Great" Scott said with a dejected sigh as his shoulders slumped "I really hope they didn't get into my equipment for my acts"

"They found the chains you like to use and tried to beat one another the other night with them" Peter said with a snicker.

"I thought you said they were arguing" Diana said with confusion.

"Oh they were" Peter said with a shrug "They were arguing who should get beaten with the chains first"

"As much as I'd love to continue this discussion, we have a bit of a time table" Luthor said after he cleared his throat to get everyone's attention "Can we please go now?"

"We're ready" Superman said with a nod before he glanced at Scott and Barda and gave them a friendly smile "It's good to have you both back"

"Thank you Kal-El" Barda said with a nod of respect towards the Kryptonian while Scott simply hummed as he pulled out his Mother Box and opened up a portal to his and Barda's, and now Peter and Diana's home.

"Oh and Scott?" Peter said towards the New God before he could step into the portal after his wife.

"Yes?" Scott glanced back at Peter with curiosity.

"I gave one of the Parademons some Class Two weapons grade Quantum Energy to store in one of Barda's weapons lockers. The ones rated for planetary weaponry" Peter revealed.

"Uhhh, why?" Scott asked with some unease.

Diana stepped forward at this, a look of concern on her face "Peter, what are you talking about?"

"Just a little project of mine, that's all" Peter waved off his wife and Scott's concerns "Just wanted you to know is all. So when you see it, you don't panic"

"Thanks for the heads up" Scott said with a displeased expression before he sighed and entered the portal before it closed with a 'Boom'.

"Now before we have any more interruptions, can we please go now?" Luthor asked with exasperation as he held up the portal device that'll teleport the team to his universe.

"Fine..." Superman said as he kept looking at Peter with a narrowed gaze.

Luthor nodded and activated the device, causing the team to be encompassed by a purple light before vanishing in a flash.

...


And done.
