Author's Notes: Why can I not be hyper fixated on a single topic and stick with it? I currently have several stories just sitting in my computer so I might as well give you guys something to show I'm not dead.
Timeline wise, despite saying this is Justice League, it's late Superman TAS and will be heading into Justice League in just a few chapters. The story also won't be a one-to-one retelling of Justice League, so expect for events to play out differently as the story progresses and new ones to be made.
Chapter 1:Big City Little Cat
Mew would be the first one to admit that perhaps making a blind jump into the unknown might not have been the best idea. Based on appearance alone, she assumed it would have been like the Ultra Wormholes the Others made, and she could manage those well enough. And to be fair, it was similar to one of those.
If it was in the middle of Twister.
And Zapdos was trying to fry you with lightning.
While trying to break away from a blackhole made by a Gardevoir.
So one would have to excuse her for having a less than elegant exit from the portal as it spat her out and hurtling towards the ground. Acting out of instinct, she surrounded herself in her pink bubble of a Barrier and crashed into the earth. Once her head stopped spinning from her trip, she dropped the Barrier and touched the ground for the first time.
'That could have gone better,' Mew chastised herself as used her psychic powers to push away the cloud of dust her impact caused to see what was around her. 'Did it actually work though? Is this a new world?' She climbed up out of the crater her entrance had made and looked around for anything that looked new.
She appeared to be in a forest, a partly destroyed forest caused by her impact, but nothing really stood out for her. She didn't see any form of wild life, but she probably scared them all away with her arrival. Looking up in the sky, she tried to see if there were any flying types around but was surprised by what she saw.
'What is wrong with the sky?' She frowned at seeing what might have been a night sky, but was washed out and hazy with a rather sick orange color. 'Is there a forest fire?' Mew took the air and floated above the treeline to see what might be causing this discoloration. Following the orange color across the sky, she could see that the source was far off in the distance.
Not knowing what it might be changing the sky from so far away, she decided to turn herself invisible and go to the source. She took the trip slowly as she passed the over forest and further towards the orangeness, not wanting to alert whoever or whatever might be doing it. As she did so, she found that there was an intricate web of roads like her humans tried to make but on a much larger scale.
She could even see cars driving up and down the roads, and as she got closer to the orange light, she began to see more cars than she ever seen before. Cars were far and few in numbers back in her world, since humans didn't really have a need for them, they were seen as a luxury good. She even got a truck to see what it was all about.
Well, she had a truck. Some kids pushed it into the ocean.
Once she was a few miles out, she could finally see what was making the night sky so ick. It was the largest city she had ever seen. The hundreds, no, the thousands of buildings seemed to stretch on for miles across the landscape, and some of those buildings were like great towers that would easily surpass the Sky Pillar.
'What in Distortion…' Mew could only look on in shock at this sight. Never before would she have thought of something like this existing, it was like an entire country was all condensed into a single location. Her curiosity getting the better of her, she flew quickly to the massive city to see what could have made it. And to her surprise, she saw the inhabitants of the city.
'Humans,' She said in surprise as she drifted above the busy streets, watching a wave of humans moving past one another on the sidewalks while cars sat bumper to bumper in the center of them all. Looking around, she could see humans in every direction within the city. She could see them in buildings, in cars, even in the huge towers. 'There are so many of them.'
And all the while she was gazing at humans, she couldn't help but notice that her other creations weren't among them. She did see some other creature, small flying types fluttering about, but nothing else. Looking into the mind of one of these flying types, she found that it's mind was nothing but instinctual drive to feed and breed, and nothing else.
'Whoever created this world seemed to have put a lot more work towards humans then,' Mew thought to herself as she turned her attention back towards the people. 'A human dominated world, where the Pokemon are barely more intelligent than a newborn.' She honestly wasn't too sure how to feel about this.
While she enjoyed humans, they tended to become a bit too controlling of others. And with no Pokemon around, then they should have turned onto each other long ago to try and control one another for their own ends.
But they aren't.
Instead, they have come together as a collective and created this city.
'But these aren't my humans though,' She had to remind herself as she drifted down closer to the street and landed lightly on one of the light poles. 'With the Pokemon being different, then the humans should be different as well. They might not have the desire to control others like mine do.'
Mew continued to watch the people of the city go on about their night, moving to a different vantage point every so often so see what these new humans might all be about. She had so many questions about them and this new world she found, but didn't really know how to go about finding the information she wanted.
While drifting about, she found a place that might be able to help her out.
From her perch, she could see dozens of books displayed in the large window of a building, with hundreds more put away on the shelves.
'A library,' She smiled at her find. 'I should be able to get information from there.'
Floating off her perch, she circled the block a few times till she could find a spot that she could change into a less feline form. As the streets were too crowded for her to safely transform without being seen, she decided to do it on the roof of one of the buildings.
Keeping the form simple enough, she decided to go with a teenage Kanto girl with long black hair wearing a nice pink Mew hoodie, but kept her eyes the same shade of vibrant blue. She always enjoyed the color, and tended to keep that one feature the same for most of her forms.
Climbing down the firescape and landing in the alleyway she prepared to make her way onto the sidewalk before someone grabbed her arm from behind and pushed her against the wall.
"Don't scream," A man hissed at her as he began to rifle through her hoddie's pocket, much to Mew's amusement once she got over her surprise of being attacked. "Damn it." The man swore as he found nothing there to steal.
Frustrated, the man turned her around to show that they were now facing each other. Mew could see the dishevelled look of the man who was trying to mug her, with his stained clothes and his bloodshot eyes, it was clear he had seen better days.
"Where's your money?" He demanded, keeping a harsh grip on her shoulder as he held up a knife with his other hand. The man frowned when he saw the look on her face. "What are you smiling about?"
"You just need to relax man," Mew said in a calm voice, that only seemed to aggravate the man more as he brought up his knife to her neck.
"Don't tell me-" He was cut off as her hand shot up to the hand gripping the knife and squeezed it's wrist with enough force that they could hear the bones start to pop. "Agh!" The man shouted in pain as he dropped the knife. He tried to pull away from her, but he found he was unable to.
"I said, relax," Mew repeated a bit more forcefully as she twisted the wrist, bringing the man to his knees in pain. "Now, look into my eyes." She continued, and the man couldn't help but do so in hopes that he would be let go, but the moment they made eye contact, his world went black.
Letting go of the man, Mew couldn't help but give her work a satisfactory nod. The moment they had made eye contact, she used Hypnosis on the man and now he was under her control. Now, she might be able to get some answers before even needing the library.
"What is the name of this city?" She asked the man who looked up at her with a foggy, glazed eyes.
"Metropolis," Mew smiled, glad to see that this still worked on this new world's humans.
"Where are the Pokemon?"
"I don't know what a Pokemon is."
Why are there so many humans in this city?
"It's a big city."
"Where is your world's creator?"
"I don't know."
She couldn't help but frown at the information she was not getting from this man. He didn't know anything important except the city's name. Guess she was better off checking out the library then relying on a mugger for information.
"I want you to go find the biggest, meanest creature in the city and pick a fight with it," Mew dismissed the man, letting him up so he could run off into the night. Him barreling into the crowd of people who decided to ignore the mugging provided her a nice distraction so she could join the masses with no one giving her a second glance compared to the injured man with a knife sprinting down the road.
Whatever became of the man was no longer her problem after all, she had a gleaming source of new information to discover.

Mew couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh as sat on the ledge of the tallest building she could find in the city. The whole library thing turned out to be a bust the moment she walked into the building and found out she couldn't read a lick of anything inside. This world's language looked like mangled Unown and was even written backwards!
It made absolutely no sense to her.
Oh, and turns out that it wasn't even a library in the first place, but a bookstore, so she couldn't even walk out with the books to try and decipher the language. To do that, she needed money, and they didn't accept the money she had created in her hoodie pocket.
No, in this world, money is made of paper. Not gold, but paper. Extremely complicated paper with faded inks and chemicals that she had no idea that was involved when she tried recreating it. So she couldn't even create this stupid paper money properly to buy anything.
So she was broke and illiterate in this world, not a really good starting point. But she did find out how she could get some money in this world by annoying the cashier enough; a bank. She suggested that if Mew needed money badly enough ,she should try robbing one. Of course she knew the human was joking, but that was actually pretty doable for her.
So she had been sitting here for the past three hours waiting for the bank's truck to come by and-
There it was!
An excited grin spread across her face as her tail twitched back and forth as she watched the heavily armored truck come to a stop at the side of the bank. Quickly teleporting down to a lower vantage point so she could better see the security guards and see if they were loading or unloading money. There were only two guards for this truck, one of them had left to go unlock the side door of the bank while the other went behind the truck.
Watching with bated breath as the man at the back of the truck unlocked the door, she was ecstatic to see him remove a bag, telling her the truck was already mostly loaded with the money she needed. Without a moment's hesitation, she teleported into the driver's seat of the truck and shifted into her human form to better drive. This time around, she went with a Unovian Teenage Girl with long brown hair, and for nostalgia, she wore a shirt with a large red R on it.
Placing her hand at the base of the steering wheel, she sent an electrical current through it and the truck came to life. She could hear the two men let out startled noise and began to shout, but Mew didn't really care about them. Putting the truck in drive, she left the two guards behind as she made it onto the road.
"Ah, I've missed having a truck," Mew said as she rubbed her hand along the steering wheel, ignoring the streetlights and narrowly missing several car accidents by psychically pushing them out of the way. "After the books, I wonder if this world has some good apples I can buy." She mused aloud.
Her ears perked up a bit as she heard a vaguely familiar whining come closer to her. Checking her mirror, she saw the flashing light that usually accompanied Officer Jenny and her lot, but the sirens sounded differently, but she could just chalk that up to another difference in their worlds.
She was also mildly pleased that many of the cars that she was trying her best to not hit, now began to move out of her way as they heard the sirens as well. Bit of a design flaw, she found, as that only meant she could drive even faster now with less risk.
"Pull over the truck now," She turned her head and found the demand amusing that they were making of her. This lump of steel going down the road at about 70 was safer for them than facing her head on, they just didn't know it. Looking back at the road, she had to think of a good place that could buy her a few minutes while she raided the back before escaping with her money.
With her current street about to end, she decided to go right and turned her steering wheel...
And the truck didn't turn with it, it kept going forward, making her eyes go wide in surprise. She wasn't afraid of getting hurt in a car accident, but she couldn't say the same for the people in the building. Just as she was about to reach out with her powers to try and force the car to move to the right, the car started to go up?
She fell against the driver's seat as the car went straight vertical, like it was driving up the building, but never touched it.
"They got flying cars?" She asked in surprise to herself as she looked around to see what she might have done or hit that caused this, but she saw nothing that looked like a 'Fly' button or switch. And it was while she was checking under the seat, that the truck suddenly went right way up again and crashed down onto the ground. "Okay, this is weird." She frowned as she got up and looked outside the window.
She was currently on a roof of a building, and unless she picked it up or found the fly button, the truck wasn't going anywhere. Before she could decide which would be a better option, the driver's side door was pulled off. Looking over she saw a human standing there with his arms across his chest.
The human seemed semi-normal, with dark hair and dark eyes. He was rather muscular as well, but not to the degree of some bodybuilders. But what stood out to her was the very odd outfit he was wearing.
It was some weird blue spandex outfit with a red and yellow symbol printed in the middle of his chest. The guy even had a large red cape that was blowing in the wind, and… were those red underpants he was wearing outside his pants?
"What in the world are you wearing?" Mew couldn't help but ask the very strangely dressed human, but he only gave her a disapproving look.
"Shouldn't you be in school, not robbing banks?" Mr Underpants asked her in a rather serious tone. Guess he had to over compensate for the outfit to be taken seriously. And school? Did she look like she was ten? She didn't really have time for this.
"This coming from the guy who can't wear underwear right," She quipped back as she braced herself against the steering wheel, and kicked out at the man. And he didn't move at all from the kick, it was like kicking an Aggron! Something was not right about this human.
Before she could recover from the shock, the man simply grabbed the leg she had extended out, and pulled her easily from the truck, leaving her suspended off the ground.
"Guess I got to be a bit more serious with you," Mew commented as she dangled there in the man's grasp. If the man was going to say anything to that, she would never know as she used a Mega Punch straight into the man's gut, and nothing. "Are you made of steel or something?" She rhetorically asked, knowing that not even steel types could get away with no damage from her attacks.
"I have been compared to steel before," Mr Underpants dryly commented and the two of them began to hover off the ground, and not under her power.
'He can fly too?!' Mew couldn't understand what was with this human infront of her. Strong enough to take her hits and not be hurt and could now fly? 'Ok, so this world might be a bit more interesting than I thought. So if physical attacks don't work…'
Deciding to go for broke on this before attempting to teleport, she reached out and placed her hand on his stomach.
"Thunderbolt!" She called out, and electricity coursed through the human, and he finally let her go as he gave out a cry of pain. When Mew hit the ground, she rolled up onto her feet and faced the… she wasn't really sure if it was human now. The man was hoving in the air as smoke wafed off of his uniform, clearly showing he was hurt, but not out of the fight.
'Okay, Electricity works,' She thought to herself, debating whether it was better to fight or not with this strange being. She only needed the money, not to win a fight against this guy who she knew nothing about. Deciding it was better to cut and run, she began to buy some time for herself and hopefully some information.
"Are you really human?" Mew decided the direct approach was best as she backed away from Mr Underpants. "I know my punches could knock out a normal one, yet you didn't even flinch."
"Guess you are new to town," The man gave a small chuckle as he began to stand up straight. "I've been called anything but normal." He was acting rather pleasant now, but she could see in his eyes that he was ready for a fight or if she made a run for it.
"I'm talking that as a no then," She continued to back up before she could feel the cold metal of the truck against her back. "Guess I should have done a bit more investigating before I decided to do this." Mew gave him a weak smile, which caused him to relax a bit, thinking she was about to give up. "But you've already seen that I'm not quite as normal as well."
And with that, both her and the truck blinked out of existence in front of Mr Underpants' eyes.
xXx
"That was a close one," Mew let out a sigh of relief as she appeared many miles away from the city with the truck. "What kind of typing was that man?" She wondered aloud to herself as she pushed herself away from the truck. "Immune to Normal, but weak to Electricity. What an odd combo."
Walking around the truck to the back, she had to stop at what she saw. Covering her hands with her face, she let out a frustrated scream at the open back door of the truck. The insides of the truck were nearly barren of any money except for a lone bag that got stuck in the corner. When the truck did a vertical take off, nearly all of the money must have fallen out!
Taking the one bag and opening it, she wasn't sure if it was a fortune or just above being poor, but it was at least a start. Hopefully it could last her awhile before she had to do this over again.
xXx
High in one of the skyscrapers, a sharply dressed man paused the security footage he had acquired meer moments ago. They were taken from several different security cameras that were placed around the city, and getting them was an easy feat for him. And the information he gathered was more than worth the small effort.
Gazing intently at the screen, looking at the pained expression on Superman's face as he was electrocuted by an unknown girl.
Switching to another screen he paused, showing two girls, drastically difference in appearance, yet both appearing in the same white light mere hours apart before disappearing into thin air. The question remained now, if they were connected, or simply coincident. And he would find out, he always did.
