The rest of the day was uneventful, not tin the sense that things didn't happen, but in the sense that from the way the team I was currently with acted, nothing was out of the ordinary.
The field around us was rapidly changing and maybe, in a few months, it would become a thick jungle.
There was one thing to note, several orcs had joined us as we marched, some acted like old friends with the group, while others keep their distance.
Still, we soldier on.
"Hard to believe you and I would be on the same team again" Harley says to me, she didn't wear her usual makeup, nor was her outfit the same one she had worn for years.
No, she kept her long blond hair untied now, and her usual jester outfit had been replaced by a lightly armored version of it, black on the right, red on the left, and the colors switching sides on her lower half.
"You know, you and I used to be friends where I come from, Superman went crazy and took over the world, he either killed people or used mind control technology on them."
"Guess which he used on you"
I have to admit the shock of hearing what she had just said must have shown on my face because both Killer Crock and Two-face started laughing.
"We thought everything we lost, the invasion started and I say we go the better end of the deal, the world ended, Superman died and we even have a place where we belong." she said to me before she placed her hand over my shoulder and placing her weight on me.
"..."
"...Trying to commit suicide, was punished by torture, that's how bad it was."
" Yeah, our world was destroyed but wasn't much of a world left...for what its worth, welcome home batman"
She immediately let go of me and headed into the tall grass, I watched as she threw a bottle into it before an explosion engulfed all of the grass, all of it except for the part she had been standing on.
Crocklifted his hand and knelt down.
"These tracks are fresh, some things been here not too long ago, the gound is still moist"
Some of the orcs lifted their weapons and looked around in high alert expecting something to attack.
"It's one of the rules bats, you don't cross someone else territory without saying hie to those in charge" Harley explained to me as she looked behind us searching for any signs of an intruder.
No one moved, every plant that moved on its own was noticed, every blade of grass that moved when the wind blew was something no one missed, despite nothing happening, I could feel the energy in the air.
The ground began to shake and Crock let out a scream.
"Worm!"
A massive worm lifted itself from the ground, in its mouth, the corps of what could only be called an ogre hung.
Instantly the entire group began to open fire, potions, explosives, and automatic weapons let their presence known, yet for all of their deadliness, the worm acted as if none of it had bother it at all.
"Runts! get ready!" Two face shouted as all of the orcs prepared to charge, but it was killer crock whos roar led them to the attack.
Heavy axes that seemed to have chainsaws built into them, were lifted and brought down on every part of the worm that bled, the worm let out a cry of pain before it fell dead.
"Don't let it full you, we got lucky, it was eating, if it hadn't, we would need an entire strike team to kill it" Penguin said to me, before he took something from the ogre's hand.
"Have any of you seen something like it?" he says as he shows us a stone necklace, held together by what looks like the skin of the worm.
No one answered, perhaps it was something used for a ritual or something important only to the ogre, but there was no way of knowing, my help screen didn't say anything, at least not yet.
"Forget about it, for now, leave the worm for the plants to eat, we need to leave, in case this guy had friends," killer crock says as he stepped over the corps of the ogre.
Again we march making sure that nothing is out of the ordinary, I notice some smoke from fires of nearby camps, but I'm warned not to go near them, those are other people's territories.
"It's getting late we should set camp" Two face says to us before he throws down a crystal and it instantly makes a fire.
"Harley, batman you get to sleep first, sleep, have sex, do what you want, we will switch with you latter" he says to us as a tent is set up for us to sleep in.
"Harley walks in, but she's still wearing her armor.
"Unless you do want to take off some stress, keep your armor on, your going to need it" she says to me before laying down and closing her eyes.
I follower into the tent and lay down next to her.
I soon began to hear her snoring, I didn't want to sleep considering that everyone here was an old enemy of mine, so I decided to use an old trick of min and sleep in small bursts.
This would wake me up repeatedly and I wouldn't be as well-rested as I usually would have, but if anything happened I would be awake for it.
"Wake up it's your turn to keep watch" I heard killer crocks voice
He immediately entered the tent with one of the orcs the moment Harley and I exited.
"The animals and the plants don't enter well-marked lands, you know places where people live, but because these places don't have a lot of human or orc presence they don't acknowledge it as anyone else's but theirs." Two face says to me as he hands me a piece of dried meat.
"Why aren't any of"
He cuts me off before I can finish my question.
"Trying to kill you"
"Look where we are, we could use all the help we can get, plus the whole seeing our worlds die and what happened to the world before the legion even invaded, makes a man change one way or another," he answers me.
"What happened?"
"Nothing much, except Darkside, invaded" he stops talking and turns to look at me, and smiles.
"Never thought we would be siding with apocalypse to fight a war, the planet broke under our feet, we attacked each other with everything. It was either kill or be killed"
"Hell I fought alongside grade-schoolers by the end of it, then I woke up in the ark, I got lucky, some angels and some demons arrived with me and we just kept on fighting"
"Look around you batman, peace and quiet our little piece of heaven. We earned our second chance, don't you think its time you get yours Bruce" Pinguin says to me, as he walks next to me.
"How?" I asked him.
"Kind of easy to know who you are, when the other you was unmasked. Wonderwoman and the Amazons invaded, we wone, but a lot of the Justice League and us Rouges died in the process"
"You can fill in the blanks, if you want to know who killed you"
We separated after that, and after two hours another two went to sleep, we kept this routine until the sun rose, and again we began to march on inspecting our territory.
