"Are you sure this is safe?!" Spiderman yelled as he and Creeper did their best to keep up with me from their spot on the Spider Cycle.
I don't really understand why he chose that name, it seemed a bit egocentrical to use the first word of your alias as the first in an object's name, but... Well, Batman did it as well. Maybe it was something about heroes in general that I didn't understand.
"Not at all!" I chuckled back, running at moderate speeds to make sure that I didn't burn up the web we were currently racing on.
The story goes that poor old Spiderman seemed to have been easily tricked by yours truly. He really was easy to trick because he assumed I meant him no harm. Of course, that was a terrible assumption and now we were racing down separate webs that were attached from Helicarrier to... Well, I have no idea where they were attached. But I know I was running beside the Spider Cycle over the ocean.
"This is so fun!" Creeper cackled, holding on tightly to Spiderman's neck.
"And you're choking me!"
The only answer the red and blue man received was a mad cackle from Creeper.
I could only chuckle at the man's misfortune.
Temps was the first to arrive at the rupture. The Bat Cave was now completely silent, seeing how nobody that usually entered was inside, and he rejoiced in the fact that he had a few moments alone before his partner arrived.
It's not that he didn't liked Tijd. But the Dutch man could be so annoying because of his silence that Temps would sometimes wonder if he should take drastic measures to get him to talk. But when he thought of this, he remembered how angry his boss had been the first time had forced Tijd to talk and he decided that his sanity was not worth the punishment he would be getting in return.
A second later, the taller man known as Tijd appeared beside him and immediately both got to work.
They walked all along the cave, looking around to find the purple particles that were always left as residue when the fabric of time was damaged.
"Found one." Tijd grunted as he looked at a hidden room by the bottom of the cave and Temps walked towards him.
"Shall we?" He asked his partner, but rolled his eyes when the taller blonde just began to walk away.
Temps was used to the silence, but that didn't meant he wasn't annoyed by it. Still, he followed after his partner and they both soon arrived at the room used to house Batman's most dangerous weapons and inventions.
Inside they found the girl named Rocket sleeping on a metal table, a bunch of papers thrown all around the floor. It seemed like she had just thrown them out of the way before falling asleep.
"Reminds me of Minuto." Temps giggled, thinking back on the short teenager with a Puerto Rican accent that always seemed to be sleeping.
Tijd grunted softly at the words, even though he found the image amusing, then looked around once more.
Temps and Tijd were both part of a very special division in their organization. All people like them could see the particles of time ruptures if trained correctly, and that was what they specialized in. This was not the first time Father Time had asked them to fix problems with the time stream and they knew it wouldn't be their last either.
"There." He pointed at the large circle of metal at the back of the room, seeing literally thousands of purple particles bouncing all around the room, leading to the machine.
"I guess we have found out what the children have used to disrupt the time, non?" Temps asked, walking towards it. "It is just a matter of find them and scolding them."
Tijd didn't say a word as he walked forward. He held his right hand to the side, only for a small vial to suddenly appear in it. With practiced ease, the tall blonde moved his hand to capture the particles, then placed the cap on the vial.
"We shall send that back to Andra. She shall examine the particles and tell us anything we need to know."
With the words from Temps, both blonde suddenly disappeared from the Bat Cave, leaving it as silent as it had been when they arrived.
"So you mean to tell me the menace to society is actually a hero in your world? And you let him continue working with you and your son even though he's proven he could be a super villain at any moment?" Tony asked incredulously as he looked at his newest- or, he assumed- friend.
Batman sighed and shook his head. "It's complicated."
Bruce breathed out from his spot checking the stats on the dimensional transporter. "It doesn't seem like it. You have a son that is best friend's with this maniac. So, to keep your kid happy, you allow his friend to run amock."
Batman glared dangerously at the man, and Bruce immediately raised his hand in defense, but Tony only chuckled at how angry the Bat got so fast.
"Anyway, I believe I've finally managed to pinpoint their energy signatures." Bruce called out as Batman went back to helping Tony with making a new remote control, one that was able to send them where they needed to go.
Tony had told Batman that his first model wasn't practical. Because he didn't know if alternate universes were even real, he didn't really have enough data to use to be able to create a system when it came to travelling through them. So the remote Kid Flash and Deadpool had now had the ability to jump from one dimension to another, but they couldn't coordinate the jumps.
The one they were building now- seeing how they had help from the man that had made the transporter that brought Kid Flash to their universe- had the capacity to put coordinates inside. And because Kid Flash and Deadpool were constantly jumping from one place to another, Tony had enough data to continue mapping the universes even after this whole fiasco was over and done with.
Batman nodded at the man with the glasses, "I will go get my team."
Tony, though, stopped him from leaving by placing a hand on his shoulder, "Uh, excuse you? Do you really think I'll really go on an adventure like this with just your team?"
Batman quirked an eyebrow at him, all the while pushing the hand off of his shoulder. "You didn't think you'd be going, did you? Kid Flash is my responsibility, therefore my Team and I will be going. But you are not."
Now Tony smirked dangerously at the Bat, "And Deadpool is my responsibility. And I'm not about to let you- someone that's never even meet the guy- chase after him without me! Now, because your brat caused the whole problem, it's only right for you to come to fix the problem you unintentionally caused."
Tony shrugged noncommittally as Batman glared darkly at him, frown deepening the more the rich man spoke. The man with the inflated ego, of course, didn't notice Batman's darkening mood, but his good friend, Bruce, did. And Bruce glanced from an angry Batman to a much too cocky Tony.
"Uh, Tony... What have I told you about poking bears?"
Tony turned to him now, "To poke them with a very long stick. Why do you ask?"
"My team is going. None is getting left behind. You may bring one other. Any else and you will regret ever having met me." Batman growled, and Tony paled at the threat.
He wasn't a man that got scared easily. But he'd be lying if he said Batman wasn't the scariest thing he had ever seen.
But he wasn't a man to stand down either. That's why he crossed his arms and glared back at the Bat. "It seems we have a disagreement between us, Bat."
