And Injustice For All 2

Chapter 40: The Phantom Zone

"Plas, can you hear us?" asked Batgirl.

"Your voice sounds like it's underwater," Plastic Man replied. "And possibly translated by a fish, but I can hear you."

"Has he found Superboy?" asked Mrs. Kent.

"Not yet really. There's just a lot of swirling nothingness."

"Any signs of the Titans?" asked Batman.

"It feels like something's following me."

Plastic Man found a series of rocks floating in the air. He found some people huddled in one of them. One in particular caught his attention.

"I remember you."

"Imperiex!"

"Right. You tried to destroy the planet and remake it in your image. Didn't go too well, did it? I'm looking for a group of kids..."

"Seven floating wastelands down, then five over. If you hit the void that feels like it's reflecting the darkest parts of your essence, then you've gone too far."

"Thank you."

Eventually...

"Guys, I found them."

"Plastic Man?"

"How?"

"It's a long story full of twists, turns, love and betrayal and dead sentient squirrels, talking chimps and zombie butlers... What I'm saying is it's a bit too epic to convey in the midst of a interdimensional rescue. Now, this is gonna sound weird but follow my arm."

"I can't," said the one with a black shirt with a Superman logo on it.

"I don't understand. Are you emotionally attached to your floating rock or the swirling void of madness and vertigo which surrounds it?"

"I..."

"Superman and Superboy fought. Superman hurt him."

"If I leave, I die."

"Oh man, I'm sorry."

"Connor, we'll find a way. We'll come back for you."

"Don't, Tim," said Superboy. " Don't risk being stuck here for eternity."

"Don't be ridiculous. Once we get out, we're doing everything we can to save you."

"Yeah, you can act as Noble as you want, but there's no way we're respecting your wishes here."

The Titans hugged each other."

"I could stay."

"Look," Plastic Man interrupted the moment between Superboy and this woman. "I don't understand the physics of this place, but in only connected to the outside world by my arm, and I'm guessing we should hurry."

With that, Superboy kisses the woman. Outside, Luke's arms were getting shorter.

"They're coming," Luke said.

"Ah, guys," Plastic Man said. "I think I'm stuck in something here."

"Where's Superboy?" Mr. Kent asked.

"He can't leave," Tim replied. "Superman punctured his heart."

"The Phantom Zone is the only thing extending his life."

For the first time, Batman meets Tim. Chris and Melody met with them as well.

"I knew you'd come for us."

"I'm sorry it took so long," said Batman.

"Babs, how long have we been in there?"

"Six years. The world has changed but it's not the place you left behind."

"Can the world still use a Batman and Robin?"

"That's exactly what it is needed."

And with that, Batman and Robin reunited. Until a laser shot through times chest. Everyone looked to find... ZOD!
