*Mindspeak is in Italics
-A few hours later-
Back in the Watchtower, after the Vandal Savage thing was fixed successfully, Superman finally was able to introduce his companions to his old friends. "My friends, since it's now safe and well, it's time for you all to meet my companions. Girls, go ahead.".
The large wolf gave a soft whuff, then slowly changed as to not make the rest of the team any more edgy than they are, and Patricia appeared, smiled, "I would never imagine to meet the rest of the Justice League, but I am. My name is Patricia Chamorro. I am from another dimension where you are, I apologize for this, but only fictional characters.".
Batman narrowed his eyes, "I presume that means that we don't exist in your old dimension yet we are in stories?". Patricia nodded sadly, "You presume correctly, Batman. I never doubted that you are the greatest detective, and Superman never proved me wrong yet.".
"Wait, wait, are you saying that there is no super-powered people or anything over there?". gasped a wide-eyed Flash. Patricia shook her head, "Honestly, the top coolest thing over there is child geniuses or mixed-breed wild cats.".
"But then why are you a shapeshifter then?". asked Wonder Woman curiously. Patricia smiled, "Ah, that came to be when I and my daughter fought with mutant wolves and panthers. Speaking of, Annabelle, what are you waiting for?".
The panther gave a growl before changing a tad quickly than her mother, and Annabelle blinked softly, waved a hand. "For some miraculous reason, she can talk in her panther form, but as human, I am afraid that she's mute. She can sign as to communicate.".
J'onn smiled softly, "Perhaps if I can help you have a mind-speak line, Miss Annabelle?". Annabelle tilted her head lightly, seeming to think for a moment before smiling and signing, "I trust him, Mom.". Patricia nodded, "All right. She gives permission, J'onn, and I do as well.".
J'onn smiled brightly, "This won't hurt.". Patricia and Annabelle felt a sort of tingle in their minds, a gentle probe, then a line of mind-speak was set almost instantly. Hi! It's so great to meet you all. Flash, is it true that you can run on water?".
Flash grinned, laughing, "Kid, it's easy as a breeze when I run on water. It's pretty cool!" Annabelle giggled silently, and then looked over to see Hawkgirl, "Are you really born with those wings?". Hawkgirl chuckled softly, "Yes, through the wings were bitsy-tiny at the time.". Annabelle clapped her hands softly, "Awesome! Wonder Woman, were you shocked when you found that you were fighting Superman in that trick by Felix Faust?".
Wonder Woman widened her eyes, then turned her glance to Superman who smiled sheepishly, "Apparently, it was in a story that Anna saw. I thought you wouldn't want me to embarrass you if I spoke about it, and I didn't.". Wonder Woman sighed softly, "Fair enough.".
She smiled to Annabelle softly, "Yes, I was greatly shocked yet appalled as Superman is one of my friends. Faust tricked us all.". Flash groaned softly, "Don't remind me, I still get shivers about that fire-breathing giant snake!".
J'onn raised an eyebrow, "Really, after I dealt a heavy blow at the snake?". Flash shrugged with a lopsided smile. Batman spoke, "Why'd you come with Superman?".
Patricia frowned softly, "It wasn't our decision at first as we were taken by one of Toyman's missing beam-fireballs, but as I and my daughter realized once we discovered that we are shapeshifters, we knew we need support behind us, even through we don't know if there are 'others' of us here in your world. I could be wrong or not.".
Annabelle spoke up, "And I want to help too! I could be 'Snowcat' and Mom, I like 'Wolfshifter' for her.". Green Lantern chuckled, "Those are good names.". Annabelle grinned softly, "Thanks, GL! Can you make a panther from your power?".
Green Lantern blinked, "I could try.". His ring glowed and flashed, and a large glowing cat was prowling around Annabelle who touched the illusion's forehead gently, smiling brightly. Superman chuckled, "I think she is where she truly belongs, Patricia.", putting a hand softly upon Patricia's shoulder.
Patricia smiled softly, moved to touch Superman's hand warmly with a look in her eyes, "She'd never looked so much happier before, not even with Vandal. I'd always do this all over again, Kal.", saying the last comment in a whisper, barely noticing that Batman had observed the subtle yet obvious love between Patricia and Superman.
He prayed that this woman won't hurt Clark as much as Lois did, breaking up with him, wondering if Patricia knew of Superman's secret identity and the others if everything was revealed in her old dimension's stories. He knew he has little to nothing about Patricia Chamorro or her daughter, but that doesn't mean about finding the Charmorros or learning if Patricia has a maiden name before her current last name.
And of course, if there wasn't any 'others' of Patricia and Annabelle here, they will be allowed to presume their secret civilian lives through it wasn't said yet, and they will need the support of the Justice League to train themselves as the new members, for it clearly was seen that they were civilians almost all their lives if Batman wasn't mistaken.
