Hello everyone. Man this one took some time, so I hope you liked it.
1: Saw Wonder Woman and I absolutely loved it.
2: And a certain character is back in Dragonball Super which I will wait until I see what he does before commenting further.

Gohan and Kara flew as fast as they could towards Capsule Corp. Neither one of them said a word, both were too concerned about their current situation. The recording of that man being hit by Scarecrow's fear gas kept flashing in their minds. They couldn't just stand and watch as people got hurt. As they arrived, the two kids spotted Bulma escorting Dende somewhere.
"Gohan, Kara!" The Namekian boy shouted, who started running towards and hugging them.
"Good to see you too Dende, how have you been? Gohan asked.
"Scared with everything that's going on. Miss Briefs is just taking us all to an underground 'safe room'.
"Dende i told you, just call me Bulma." The heiress added. "By the way, I thought you two would stay away from the cities?"
"We came to help!" Kara said enthusiastically. Bulma was a little surprised to hear the kids offer their services.
"Wait, do your parents know your here?" Both children looked at each other nervously.
"Of course." Gohan lied.
"Chi Chi was ok with this?" Bulma sceptically quizzed the half Saiyan, who only nodded in response. "Fine, follow me." While Dende made his way down to the saferoom. The others walked into Bulma's office, where they met up with Krillin, Diana, Yamcha and Vegeta. Everyone was standing with the exception of Vegeta who layer on his back. Not really caring about any of this. "Alright now everyone's here, this is what we know so far. Scarecrow has a vial of fear toxin which, by using the Cloudburst will cover an entire city in it."
"Alright so how do we stop it?" Yamcha asked.
"First we need to determine where the bomb is set to go off. Once we determine where the Cloudburst is, it can be disarmed."
"And if we're too late?" Krillin added. Bulma looked around the room, before revealing three capsules.
"These capsules contain the cure for Scarecrow's fear toxin. If the worst happens then we can just replace Crane's toxin with this." Bulma explained.
"And which of you idiot's is going to be foolish enough to head into a huge cloud of toxin that reveals your biggest fear?" Vegeta asked.
"I will!" Kara announced.
"Kara we can't ask you to do that!" Diana whispered. The young girl though, remained persistent.
"It's alright, Kryptonian's have a natural defence against poison's."
"And how could you know that?"
"Trust me, people will go to crazy lengths to get a spot on the Ginyu force." The young girl smiled, and was met with a load of shocked faces.
"Well I'm sold." Yamacha bluntly said. Earning a snigger from the two children. Bulma looked displeased, but eventually got over it.
"Alright if everyone spreads out I'm sure we can find it..." Before Bulma could finish however; the wall inexplicably exploded. Sending debris flying towards everyone. Bulma got hit the worst, making her fall unconscious. Everyone else thankfully though were unhurt. No one knew where the blast came from, until they looked back. Standing where the rubble used to be, was Sinestro. The former green lantern floated down, smiling more now than he had done in years.
"Time for the Saiyan monarchy to end!" He said.
.
Bruce and Dick arrived at the remains of Wayne enterprise's lab. The burnt end of Scarecrow's hideout stuck out like a sore thumb. The sun was beginning to set as both heroes hid from two oncoming guards. Bruce looked down to see his adopted son shaking.
"It's ok to be nervous, but don't let it affect your judgment." He whispered, making the boy nod in reply. "Two guards... Ill take the left one... Be quick." They both suddenly leaped from the shadows and attacked their targets. Robin took a skilful approach by kicking the back of his knee. Then slamming his face onto the ground. Meanwhile Batman grabbed his guard's throat and hurled him towards the ground. Then punching him five times in the face for good measure.
"So you won't kill, but your fine with traumatic brain injuries?" Robin joked, earning a scowl from his adoptive father.
"Hide the bodies, i'll scout ahead." The two went their separate ways, as Bruce surveyed Crane's hideout. After entering the building he hid behind a crate, listening to two guards play cards.
"All I'm saying is that I don't want to end up like him. God knows what he saw through that gas." One of them said.
"And I'm saying that if you don't want to end up like him, stop talking about it. The boss doesn't like it when we talk negatively about him." The other responded.
"Glad I'm not Tony though. Planting that bomb then getting only an hour to get out must be horrible. By the way, do you know which city Scarecrow's gonna hit?" Bruce eagerly listened in, seeing a golden opportunity. However it never came, the two men all of a sudden stopped talking. Bruce peered round trying to catch a glimpse of the situation. To his annoyance he saw Barry standing there, with the two men now unconscious.
"No need to thank me." The speedster boasted.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Batman aggressively whispered, surprising his colleague. "Those two were about to reveal where they've hidden the bomb. Now we're running out of time... What are you even doing here? I thought I told you to help evacuate Central city?"
"Yeah but the police seem to have a handle on things. So I came to help you guys out." At that point Robin entered, exited to see the scarlet speedster.
"Flash! Great to see ya!" He said.
"Good to see you too kid. Now I'll find Scarecrow, back in a flash." He joked, running off.
.
Barry checked through all the rooms inside Crane's building. The corridors were all silent, in fact it was too quiet. In the back of his mind though, Barry knew that something was wrong. He couldn't quite put his finger on it though. Eventually though he managed to find Scarecrow sitting with his back turned away. Barry quietly crept towards him, making sure he didn't make a noise. Before turning the chair around.
"Gotcha!" He exclaimed. However the speedster was shocked to see that it had been replaced with a dummy. Before he could contemplate what happened though, Flash was hit by a puff of gas from the fake Scarecrow. He stumbled backwards, coughing several times. Barry looked behind him to see Bruce in the doorway.
"Flash, are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy." The detective however was unconvinced.
"You just got hit by Crane's gas, didn't you? I need you to..." Barry looked over to see his friend completely still, as if he was frozen right in place.
"Bruce?" He waved his hand in front of the caped crusader's face, but nothing changed. Barry rushed outside to no wind, bird's chirping or leaves rustling. Everything outside had been frozen. "What the hell?"
"This is your life now." A robotic voice said. The hero of Central city looked around to see the horrors of his worst night alive. The man in yellow stood smiling at him. "Hello... Flash." Barry fell backwards, he couldn't believe that the man in yellow was actually here... or wouldn't.
"No... No... It's you! Who are you?" Barry shouted. The man in yellow responded by punching him in the gut. Barry cried out in pain, and fell to the ground.
"I'm you Flash... but better. Free from your petty morals." The evil speedster said, punching Barry in the face this time. "I just came here to welcome you to your final nightmare."
"What have you done?" The man in yellow just laughed.
"Oh Flash, I didn't have to do anything. You went too fast, and now your unable to slow down." Barry started to shake, desperately looking for any signs of life. "Enjoy your eternity in hell... Barry." And in a flash the speedster vanished. In his desperation, Barry did the only thing he was good at... Running. Barry ran towards the only place he could think of, his home. In a split second he arrived at his house, barging through the door.
"Joe? Joe?" He looked on in horror though as his adoptive father. Who was also frozen in time. Barry fell to the floor and cried.
.
Bruce ran into the room where Barry had raced off to. He could tell that something had happened to the speedster.
"Flash are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy." Barry replied.
"You just got hit by Crane's gas, didn't you? I need you to take a minute and gather your..." Before he could finish though Barry fell backwards in a catatonic state. Bruce ran over and knew what had to happen. "Sorry Flash, but until we get the cure from Bulma. This is the only solution to stopping your nightmares." In a second Batman punched his fellow hero, knocking him out. Bruce surveyed the room, until he got a call.
"Robin to Batman. I've located a fortified door in the north end of this building. I'll wait for you and Flash down here." The boy stated.
"Flash got hit by some of Crane's fear toxin. So as of now, we're on our own." The dark knight responded. Making his way to Dick's position. "Let me take a look." Bruce then started mumbling to himself. "Alright we have a four code combination, no way we're guessing that. So the door's made from seven inch premium titanium. So if we leave two explosive batarang's on the hinges, that should get it open. However it will also gain Crane's attention..." Before he could say another word though, the door flung open. Bruce looked to the side to see Dick next to the keypad. "You guessed it? What was the combination?"
"One, Two, Three, Four." Bruce was a little shocked to say the least. However he put those thoughts to the back of his mind as they both entered the room. There was no way that Jonathan Crane was getting away this time. Just before he went down though he issued an order to Robin.
"Keep an eye out." The boy nodded as Bruce walked down the step. Edging ever closer to his target. He could just about see the back of Scarecrow's head.
"It's not everyday I compliment a man such as yourself... But I'm impressed." Scarecrow softly said. "Even after Bane broke your back, you still persist."
"It's over Crane, diffuse the Cloudburst now!" Batman threatened the man.
"If you insist." Crane went over to his keyboard and hit the 'enter' button. Which fried the entire system. The vigilante turned his enemy's chair around and punched him.
"Where's the Cloudburst? What city do you plan to attack?" Scarecrow just chuckled to himself.
"Just like a lion leading his pack, you still use brute strength to frighten your enemies. I meanwhile take a more... Subtle approach to terrifying my enemies." At that moment the doctor sprayed his toxin all over Batman's face. The dark knight dropped to one knee, starting to feel the effects. "My toxin is now filling your lungs; drowning them, showing your worst fears. I want you to be conscious for this grand finale Batman. I want you to watch a city tear itself apart." Crane looked out the small window. "Then when our world crumbles around us, and I turn my gaze to the stars beyond. The legacy of Batman will mean nothing at all."
"Not today!" Bruce responded, grabbing his enemy by the neck. Crane looked at the vigilante with fear in his eyes.
"No, I gave you enough toxin to turn eight men insane... What are you?" Bruce pulled him in closer.
"I am vengeance... I am the night... I am Batman!" The terror was now fully on show. "So I'm going to ask you again, and this time you better answer me. Where is the cloudburst?" Scarecrow went through his mind for any alternatives; other than give up the information. And only one came to mind. Crane gassed himself, leaving Bruce in complete dismay. "No!"
"Guess I'm going to miss those fireworks after all! See you at Arkham Batman!"

So hope you liked that one. Things are heating up.
Reviews:
X3runner:
1: Yeah I always like to give everyone their own unique personality. Like batman is the brooder, Flash is the comic relief that knows when to get serious, Krillin is the scared one who despite his fears always steps up. Etc.
2: Glad you like both those things.
Corondomontes: Thanks
H0ckeybeast88:
1: Thanks so much, very high praise indeed.
2: no sorry. For me having them swap abilities defeats the purpose of a crossover. It's about embracing both universes, without putting one above the other. Others might think different and that's ok. Not everyone will have the same opinion as me and that's fine. But that's where I personally stand.
Jalen Johnson: Thanks though I personally can't address any of your points without going into spoilers so sorry.
Warkaiser: no
guest:
1: Sorry to hear that.
2: Who knows what the future might bring
3: Hawgirl and Martian Manhunter won't show up.
4: Thanks
