REALITY TRIP 2
CHAPTER 2: JUSTICE LEAGUE
The new Watchtower orbiting planet Earth was a large station with a few satellite defenses around it. It was larger then the original one which was blown up saving the planet so the new one was commissioned and it was also fully staffed this time around as well.
The League was also expanded to pretty much every hero there was on Earth or at least those that will join up at least. At the moment a few of the founding members Batman the Dark Knight of Gotham was walking the halls with Superman the Last Son of Krypton and also Diana more commonly known in the world as Wonder Woman.
The three heroes were pretty close and even knew each other's identities well Superman and Batman's given that Diana didn't bother with such things. The new League seemed to be doing well for the most part.
Even though Hawkgirl was in self imposed exile after her actions when her people came and John trying to get over her leaving things had turned out fairly well, the new heroes were working well together.
Plus John was out of the infirmary with that first mission with the giant robot in China and seemed to be doing well physically. They were just talking about a new roster shift since a few heroes needed time off and when that happened they had to plan around it.
J'onn the last Martian was already compiling a list of people in the ops center as he was overlooking anything on the world that needed their help and to see if any current teams would need any backup on current missions at the moment.
"I think we should have Fire and Ice step in for Zatana and Captain Atom for that next shift." Diana offered since those two women worked well together in fact they were close friends and worked together even before the new League so them working together was never really a problem.
"I don't see anything wrong with that do you?" Superman asked Batman he just gave a nod of his head in approval and Superman had to smirk. Bruce was in thought about something since he usually only gave gestures as answers when that went on.
He was thinking about asking when a red blur came up to them with a gust of wind. Standing before them was the red glad hero Flash, "Guys you got to get down to the cafeteria and fast."
"What's so important? I swear if this is about some kind of desert that's running low like last time," Bruce let the threat hang there and gave him a warning glare under his bat like cowl. He hated it when his time was wasted on things he had a lot of important things to take care of.
"No it's nothing like that," He waved it off, "Just a bunch of teens just showed up out of now where is all and…well Hawk thought it was an attack and threw a punch at this dark haired guy…"
Superman groaned Hawk was always one to start a fight unlike his brother Dove. "What happened?"
"The other guy hit back…Hard. I think Hawk is still knocked out after hitting the wall, on the other side of the cafeteria." Flash said and just then the alarm sounded, "I guess J'onn found out about it too."
The heroes were already making their way there and when they got to the cafeteria they saw two heroes get thrown out of the room. While another just appeared in a purple light looking at his chest like he was expecting to be hit but wasn't.
"What's going on?" He asked him and placing the cowboy looking hero as Vigilante.
He looked up specking in a Texan accent, "Not sure partner, one moment I was eatin' my chow the next there's a brawl. Some girly with pink hair and purple skin hit me with some type'o energy thing. Thought I was a goner but I end up here."
The others didn't wait as they ran into the room with the Justice League members fighting off a group of teenagers of all people. They looked at the chaos in the room as there was food all over the place with tables overturned and it was a complete mess.
Batman dodged what had been someone's meal as it hit the wall behind him. There was Elongated Man as he was busy with a horde of young boys that all looked alike as they were twisting him around. The dark skinned hero with a grey T on his face that was Mr. Terrific has his spheres being deflected by Wanda's powers as well as many other heroes battling things out.
Diana flew in first going for a woman with brown and white hair that was flying and battling Supergirl. But as soon as the girl grabbed the young hero she seemed to pass out and fall. Diana made a bee line right to her and clashed with Rogue. Diana was impressed with her level of strength and when she fired out heat vision from her eyes that had been a major surprise.
Amara was in her fire form battling the female hero Fire as she was a lot like Amara only green fire and could fly.
That kind of pissed her off since she couldn't fly and wondered why the other woman could when they're powers were basically the same by the looks of it. Jubilee was doing her best asking the Norwegian female hero Ice.
Vince was taking on a few different heroes as were the others doing whatever they could.
Batman had been watching the battle and something seemed odd about all of this for one thing these kids weren't actually trying to hurt anyone. He moved over to a control dodging the odd person, while power shot or item being thrown around and got to a control panel. He pushed a few buttons and then in a loud voice called out.
It was amplified over the PA system very loudly as everyone covered their ears and then for a brief moment everyone just looked at Batman as he stood looking at them all. "Everyone stop right this minute." He said in his warning tone.
He walked up to the group of kids, "Alright I want to know what's going on here, how you got here and how all this started."
Scott sighed and stepped up glad that everyone seemed to have stopped fighting at least for the moment. It was kind of weird seeing Batman of all people giving him a glare at least that's how it looked behind that mask. For a moment he thought that's how people knew he was glaring behind his shades from the body expression.
"Well…What do you know about other realities?" Scott asked him.
Flash groaned remembering the trouble they already had with that. First was that reality where there was those 50's super hero team back when they were just seven and then the Justice Lords. "Oh man not this again, you're not going to have evil versions of us are you?"
"Not unless it's on TV." Paige told him who was currently all metal for skin.
"Huh?" Flash looked at the young girl a bit confused.
"Ya really don't want to know," Rogue shook her head not sure if they should start mentioning the TV show thing again.
"Why not?" Flashed asked her at the same time as Jubilee since she wasn't around the first time around causing Rogue to sigh and shake her head. This may end up as being a very long and explanations if they pressed the issue.
"Look we didn't mean anything by this," Jean stepped in at that moment hoping to take the conversation away from that. "Things just kind of got out of hand."
"Out of hand? Look at this place," Superman said looking around the place as a few heroes were fixing things up.
"Hey that guy over there jumped us first," Wanda said pointing at Hawk who was getting back up. "We were about to say something when he attacked then Vince here hit back and the next thing we know everyone is ganging up on us."
Superman looked to Hawk a hero in a white and red bird like costume who was shaking the cobwebs out of his head as his smaller brother was helping him up. "Hey I thought they were attacking or something they just came out of nowhere after all."
"I keep telling you that violence never solves things," His brother Dove told him in a matching blue and white outfit.
"Alright I think we should take it from the top and figure this out," Batman said as then they went into a lengthy explanation about everything. Them being from another world, the fact they were mutants and what that meant and the wristbands they wore to were the key to them traveling into other worlds to help with Forge's experiment.
They also helped with the clean up as they started to get to know each other and there were a few apologies among them of course. And a few people getting to know one another as Rogue and Supergirl were putting tables up together.
"So you really couldn't touch a person until only several months ago?" The blonde asked hearing about Rogue's powers after she woke up from Rogue draining her.
"Yeah ah got lucky ah met a few versions of meh that weren't so lucky," She sighed as they sat down thankfully the memories were fading having her mind in her head was a lot like Kitty all bubbly personality but with a real stubborn side to it.
Kara was somewhat reminded of the villain Parasite that had powers similar to hers as they sat down together. She looked over at a few of them seeing Vince there and she got a small grin, "So…That's your boyfriend huh? Nice."
Rogue gave a small grin, "Thanks, ya know there's something ah got ta ask ya. Do ya ever feel a bit weird flying in a skirt?" She pointed to Supergirl's skirt as Rogue was wearing her usual black leather one.
The blonde hero looked down at hers and just shrugged, "Never really thought about it although that would explain why a few of the men don't seem to mind it when I fly off." She crossed her arms and Rogue rolled her eyes nodding her head.
Flash has cleaned up a lot of the mess as he was talking it up with Wanda, "So there is there anyone in your world as fast as me? I doubt it I'm one in a million."
Wanda rolled her eyes as his ego reminded her of her brother she never watched the show but she was wondering if under that mask he has white hair like her brother. Wanda was thinking maybe it was super speed that seemed to give people large egos or something. "Actually you're a lot like my twin brother."
"Good looking?"
"I was going for arrogant." Flash made a face at her and for a moment she thought he looked like a bit overgrown kid. "He's fast yes about as fast as you I can't tell for sure. But he likes to think himself as a lady's man. Especially how he never shut up about how he took those three girls to the stupid dance."
That was something that he had loved to brag about at nausea when she was back in the Brotherhood. Flash got a bit grin on his face, "Sounds like I'd like the guy."
She glared at him, "He's also working for my father."
"That the nut job that wants to rule the world?" He asked her and she nodded, "Ah…Never mind I change my mind about what I think about him then."
Paige and Jamie were finishing up as well when one of the heroes Booster Gold smiling at the younger kids. "Hey there nice work you two."
"Thanks…who are you?" Paige asked him and his face fell at that.
"I'm Booster Gold…From the future? Never even heard of me?" He was met with blank stares from the two kids. "Oh come on that isn't the least bit impressive? How about Skeets?" he gestured to his little gold floating robot and both young teens just shrugged.
"We got a dragon in our home, met an evil immortal sorceress, magic forces, a five thousand year old mutant tried to take over the world," Jamie shrugged after recounting all of that stuff. "In the last trip we saw star fighters, cat people, giant robots and a lot of others stuff. Kind of takes a lot more then that to surprise us."
Booster Gold wasn't sure how to take something like that as he blinked a few times behind his visor wondering if these kids were serious? All of that and they were still just kids, after all he'd been a hero for a year and not even come close to that. He took a step and felt something on his foot as he looked at it in disgust.
"Gross what is that?" He said looking at the organic looking material.
"That's my skin," Paige said to him and his head snapped up to her. She grinned and pulled off her skin with a ripping sound showing it there. Booster actually paled at the sight of that as he felt his stomach lurched.
"Oh god…I think I'm going to throw up," He muttered running off to a bathroom.
Jean was working with Wonder Woman and even though she knew that everyone behind her back talked about her perfect looks but she had nothing on this woman. Hell Jean couldn't believe that her looks were all natural and maybe a little jealous. She had to work hard on her hair and appearance but Diana here didn't wear makeup or anything.
For the first time Jean knew what it was like being the other girls but it wasn't like she didn't like the older woman in fact she was very warm personality. They started up talking and it was nice to talk to another woman with strong values. "I don't see why the people of your world would hate and fear you all. You seen like honorable people."
Jean sighed, "Unfortunately most people aren't as open minded as you are. And sometimes it can be tough given what we face but at least we got each other." She smiled as she felt for the ring she wore around her neck under her shirt.
"What is that you are holding?" Diana asked seeing the gestures and Jean thought about it and pulled the ring out from her shirt. "That is lovely."
"I know Scott gave it to me he said that it was a promise that he would always be there…And when he's ready he'll want to slip it onto my finger." Her cheeks flushed a bit remembering that day and the romantic gesture it was.
"So you two are pledge to each other," Diana looked to where Scott was coming over to them, "He seems like a god man."
"He is," Jean said as she saw Scott hurrying.
"You guys have got to keep me away from that weirdo they got up here." He said looking over his shoulder.
"Who?" Diana asked.
"This guy with a blank face dress up in blue." He jerked his thumb behind him.
Diana sighed knowing who he was talking about and now why he was agitated, "That's Question and we all know how you feel. He's a very…Odd one."
"The man thinks that the girl guides are an evil organization bent on controlling the world."
"You should have heard what he thought of the boy bands," Diana smiled at him and Scott wasn't sure he wanted to know anymore. He had only spent ten minutes being asked the most bizarre questions that he had ever been asked. It was by far the strangest conversation he had with anyone period.
"I'll…Take your word for it." Scott told her not sure he wanted to know anything more. That guy had one really warped and twisted view on the world around them.
By the time they were done everyone was glad that was over with. The X-Men had gotten to meet a few interesting people as Amara and Fire were comparing things about their powers as she was still envious of her ability to fly but Fire couldn't do things like go into a volcano so that made her feel a bit better.
Blink was doing her best during the fight her watch was knocked off she found it but it was nice being able to move around without causing a lot of stares. She felt like she could belong here like at the mansion and the people were nice that is after they had patched things up of course.
Although by now their wrist bands were flashing as Jubilee looked at hers, "Hey guys what's this flashing mean?"
"I think Forge said that when the time was up they would do that and then we'd move on." Vince said looking at his own.
"Do we have to? We were just starting to have some fun," Jamie asked him. He was about to replay when they were all suddenly whisked away. Apparently Forge only gave them a heads up before the bands sent them into another reality.
"You think they'll ever be back?" Diana asked as the mutants disappeared in a flash.
Batman thought about it, "I'm not sure but I'm going to make sure we don't get surprised like this again. The last thing we need are more people from alternate realities showing up causing even more trouble."
"Oh come on they weren't that bad." Flash told him with a smile. Batman just gave him a glare at the fact that those kids had trashed one room of the Watchtower filled with heroes in a matter of minutes. He didn't want to think about what full grown adults could do.
"I also think that several of the League members could use extra training," Batman continued looking at several of the members still there. "The fact they were beat by teenagers doesn't improve my view on their skills."
