Chapter 11
Batman jerked Loki along with him. He may have to put this guy through a trial in Watchtower, but that did not mean he had to let this guy out of his sight. He shoved Loki into the Quinn Jet and then shoved him in his seat, glaring.
When the Justice League took off, the weather was nice, but as they progressed, it started to get worse, no rain, but lots of thunder and Lightning. Loki looked around, a bit nervous.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of a little lightning," Batman scoffed.
"No, I'm just not overly found of what follows," Loki replied.
Without warning, the door of the Quinn Jet was ripped open and a man with a hammer, dressed very much like the prisoner, came in and grabbed Loki and flew out.
Superman broke off from the group and went after the man with the hammer (Thor). As Thor sped up, so did Superman, not willing to lose sight of him. Finally, Superman headed him off, causing Thor to lose his grip on Loki and drop him.
Thor and Superman then engaged in battle. Superman did not wish to fight Thor, but after Thor hit him a few times with his lightning, Superman had no choice. Finally, with the help of Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter, they were able to pin him down.
"Let go of me you foul villains! How dare you lay your hands on me, I am a great son of Odin, the god of thunder! Unleash me or feel the wrath of Thor," Thor billowed as he struggled against the others pinning him down.
Martian Manhunter stepped up, "Allow me," and with that he laid his hands on Thor's head and entered his mind. "I see…It seems our captive is his brother and…"
"Well, he can't have him, and neither can we," Batman billowed. "It seems his rescue attempt worked since our captive disappeared! I can't even track him with the tracker I put on him," Batman roared with rage at the fact that their only lead to finding Alfred and Robin was now gone.
"Hold on Batman, I was not finished," Martian Manhunter interrupted. "It seems our new friend was after his brother too, but not to free him. It seems his brother helped take their butler, and not just that, but one of their team mates as well. He came to our Earth to take his brother to their justice and he hoped in taking his brother, they could get their team mate and butler back too."
"What do you mean their Earth," Superman asked?
"It would seem that somehow there are two Midguards, existing on their own, but apart, until my foul brother came to your Midguard," Thor explained.
"I'm sorry, who did you say you were again," Green Lantern asked.
"I am Thor, son of Odin and god of thunder," Thor announced, then turned to Superman skeptically, "And you are?"
"I am Kal El, son of Jor El, formally of Krypton, now of Earth, but most here just call me Superman. This is Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Zatanna, Wonder Woman, and Hawkgirl."
Thor nodded, "Very well, it would seem Loki has gone back to my Midguard. I must go and do battle with my most mischievous brother, farewell."
"You are not leaving without us," Batman growled, grabbing Thor's arm.
"Nothing would please me more friend, but thine friends and allies are needed here," Thor explained.
"Hal can look out for Earth while I'm gone, but Alfred needs to come home," Green Lantern said putting his hand on Batman's shoulder for support.
"KF can look after things for me while I am gone," Flash added.
"And Speedy can look out for things for me while I am gone," Green Arrow inserted.
"And Hawkman can take my place while I am gone," Hawkgirl added also.
"Supergirl is very capable of handling things here while I am gone," Superman also added.
"And Batgirl is trained well enough to look out for things in Gotham while I am gone," Batman added stubbornly, "I WON'T leave Alfred and Robin behind!"
"And there are still other Leaguers still here that can take care of things while we are gone," Zatanna stated in a matter of a fact way.
"I think it's clear that our world is safe, even without us and that we are going with you," Wonder Woman stated calmly.
Thor sighed, "Nay, for thou art outworlders whom do not belong in my world."
"Your BROTHER," Batman practically spat, "took two people I am very close to, my family! I will NOT let you go after him without me! I WILL get Robin and Alfred back!"
"And we're not letting our friend go alone," Superman added and Thor sighed but nodded.

Bruce's POV
This man had let their prisoner get FREE! The man hat had helped take Alfred and Dick! How DARE that man and his girlfriend come into his house and take his family from him!
He had lost his parents when he was just a young child, and Alfred had been right there by his side, just like a father. Then there was Dick, who had also seen his parents killed. He and Dick had been good for each other, helping each other through their grief, as father and son, but now Dick was gone too. And now this…this…this man was telling him that he couldn't go with him to rescue Robin and Alfred, but he was going!
"Your BROTHER," Batman practically spat, "took two people I am very close to, my family! I will NOT let you go after him without me! I WILL get Robin and Alfred back! I will NOT let you go after him without me! I WILL get Robin and Alfred back," he growled, a warning in my tone, he was using his Batman tone again. If ever he cried, he would most likely have tears now, but he didn't cry any more, not since those long nights after his parents' death. Suddenly he felt a warm, but soft, hand on his shoulder and he looked up to see Superman. Of course it was Clark, the boy scout who tried to be comforting, that was just how he was.
"And we're not letting our friend go alone," Clark added and the rest of the team seemed to gather around Bruce in agreement. The man in front of them sighed, and after a long pause, nodded.
"Very well, but once you have rescued this valuable patron, you must return here," The man (Thor) stated with authority. Slowly and reluctantly they all nodded, 'Anything to get Richard and Alfred back,' Bruce thought.
