And Injustice For All 2
Chapter 38: Arctic Assault
The Quiver
Catwoman entered the Quiver, seeing Harley Quinn's, Steel, Ollie and Dinah. Along with her was Batman, Plastic Man, Batgirl, Chris and Melody.
"Batman has a puppy!" Harley exclaimed.
"What are you doing here, Bruce?" Dinah asked.
*There was a attack. We need to..."
"We dont need to anything," Ollie interrupted. *You microchipped our son without our knowledge and used him as bait. Our attack on Ra's Al Ghul's base led to the extinction of several species. And under your leadership, the U.S. has lost its government and all of its living presidents. (To Dinah) Am I missing something?"
"That about covers it."
"And even if you hadn't pissed me off so much, while you're under such public investigation for your actions, the Justice League Task Force can't possibly have you on the team. You would tarnish us all. And what is Catwoman and them two (Chris and Melody) doing here?"
"Excuse me, Queen!" Melody countered. "Doctor Fate brought us here. He said there was some threat happening... We've been here for weeks and all we did was being given the run-around! Besides, we just got back from Williams, Arizona. Three thousand people died..."
"This was Ra's Al Ghul's doing," said Batgirl.
"There's no doubt," Melody agreed.
"Guys," Chris announced. "I received word from the Homefront Warriors back home that Wonder Woman has escaped."
"What?" Dinah exclaimed.
"The scales are tipping away from our favor," Batman said. We need more people and more power."
"Ok," Ollie said. "But superpowered allies don't just show up in thin air."
"Actually," Catwoman countered. "They do. Melody?"
Melody accessed her HW armband and showed it to Batman.
"According to Catwoman, a group called The Teen Titans... they are alive. In fact, Bruce, last visual was their location: The Phantom Zone. Superman imprisoned one known as Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran aka Starfire and one known as Beast Boy."
"We're going to the Fortress of Solitude to break them out."
"You're not storming any Arctic fortresses right now, mister," Harley said. "First, you're taking puppy here back to your mansion. It's his forever home."
"O'Brien?"
"No way. I'm on a budget, man," said Plastic Man. "Besides, you know how much Luke says? Also, while I'm trying to be more responsible, there's no way I'm that responsible."
"I don't suppose you..." Batman asks Selina.
"You think I'm a dog person?"
"No, I guess not."
Wayne Manor
"Alfred, you awake? I need to go away for a while. This is Ace." He presents the puppy to him. "I thought you might like to look after."
"Dick will be pleased. He always wanted a dog around the house."
Alfred teared up. "Master Grayson is gone isn't he?"
"Yes."
"Every so often, bits just seen to be missing. I fear not all of me cane back in the Lazarus Put, Bruce."
"When I get back, we'll talk about getting you some help."
"You hiring me a Butler?"
"Brother Eye."
*Yes, Brother?"
"Watch them. Both of them. I want hourly reports. I'll be at the North Pole."
Fortress of Solitude
Batman and the gang have arrived at the entrance.
"Be alert. I don't know what we'll be facing in there, but Clark wouldn't leave the fortress defenseless."
Black Canary looked uneasy.
"What is it?" asked Ollie.
"This is where you died."
Ollie was shocked. The Green Arrow of this universe was killed by Superman over some disagreement, presumably The Joker's death.
"I've broken in here once," said Catwoman.
"Superman knows you broke in," Melody said. "Otherwise, Superman would've increased the defenses."
"Melody's right," said Batgirl. "Plastic Man? Luke?"
"On it."
As he stretched his way in, he was ambushed by a series of machine gun terrets. Luke pulled the crank inside. Outside, a large door opens slowly. A beam hit Steel midsection and blew her away.
"What the hell?" Melody's eyes widened as Chris was tensing to Steel. *No..."
"ERADICATORS!" An army of Supermen...
