(No One's P.O.V.)
It was some hours later when the group reached one of the mesas where the nest of cockroaches live, and the battle was more furious than ever as they somehow had sensed that one of the group had been recently injured, and were directed at Patricia much to her horror.
Annabelle, not wanting her mother to be killed by those monster cockroaches, she shocked everybody by changing into a panther, a mutant panther at that. She's a juvenile, due to her age, and her pelt were a impossible color that no one, not even Vandal had expected. It was a snow white color. And the eyes are only the human reminder of Annabelle; the warm brown orbs she owned, and she has sabers as well.
She fought admirably for a beginner, but that caused the cockroaches to scramble to her as they had smelled red meat in Annabelle's new body as there were drawn blood. Patricia was furiously scared for her daughter, and again to Vandal and Superman's shock, Patricia changed, not a mutant panther, but a mutant wolf this time!
Being a middle-aged adult, she became a full-sized wolf, and her pelt and eyes traded colors; light brown fur and gold-yellow eyes. She got the armor on her sides, and large teeth as well. She fought incredibly good for a beginner, but luckily in time, Superman got the miniature sun aka the zero-energy device, and got his powers back.
Once the group reunited with the cockroaches scared off, Annabelle and Patricia changed back to normal, and Superman carried them back to Vandal's home as the dragonfly mounts had been killed and eaten by the cockroaches. The girls has been shocked that they had new powers, and with Vandal and Superman figuring that in the battles between the panthers and the wolves, the blood of all must have mixed in the girls' bodies, and brought forward a gene that mutated the DNA, hence the girls' new forms.
With Vandal putting in the miniature sun behind the walls of the time machine, Superman helped the girls to presume their new forms with practice for some time along with rest as the battle with the cockroaches has been exhausting.
Energized once again by the next day, Superman and the girls are all ready to head to Superman's home, and with handshakes and a bittersweet hug between Annabelle and Vandal, the time machine was now working, and directed to a time and place, the trio went through the portal with a sad yet smiling Vandal watching after them.
The Justice League sans Superman was momentarily remembering Superman after Lobo reminded them indifferently, and one villain was targeting Batman; Deadshot. In the moment that the shot was fired accurately at Batman's face, he was saved, and quickly disabled Deadshot. It was revealed that Superman saved Batman, returning live and well.
He was accompanied by two large creatures; a panther and a wolf who both snarled at Lobo when he cut into the reunion of Superman and the rest of the Justice League. Superman told him never to step into Metropolis again after he settled his companions down.
Lobo angrily left, leaving Superman to explain while he led the others to stop the past Vandal's crimes and change the future. Meanwhile, in the future, in the ruins of Metropolis, Vandal sat upon a mostly-eroded bench, wondering and praying when something caught his eye.
He was surprised to see a caped-flying black-furred wolf playing Frisbee with a child, then various people laughing and talking, the buildings new and shining upon the disappearing ruins, and then he finally saw a statue of a costumed-grown up Annabelle in her two forms; human and panther, and Vandal smiled to himself as he vanished out of sight, "Thank you, Annabelle, for making me part of your family.".
