Chapter XIV: Twilight.

Last Time.

Metropolis, Present day.

Each of them jumped out of the hole before it collapsed. "Home sweet home... Right?" Flash asked before hearing Batman speak up. "I figure you'd be here." Turning around, they saw Batman in his costume, with Kara beside him. "Kara!" Naruto ran over, and kissed her. "Well what was that for?" She asked breaking the kiss before Naruto let her go.

"Sorry.. I've got to check on Barbara, and Barb. The others will tell you what happened." He replied before disappearing with Diana walking up to Kara. "Kara.. I've got to tell you, me, and Naruto.." Kara held up a hand stopping her. "I'm guessing you're going to be with Naruto?" Nodding, Diana explained what happened.

With Cheetah at Naruto's House.

Barbara in her human form was feeding Hunter when she felt Naruto wrap his arms around her. "Hey lover boy." Turning around, she gave Naruto a kiss. "Hey.. I'm glad you're alright." She raised an eyebrow at him. "Why wouldn't I?" She asked as Naruto sighed. He took her to the couch, and explained everything that happened. "Barbara, and Richard? Really?"

Naruto nodded. "Yeah.. I'm sure now there's universes' where I never came here, and that's happened." He explained before Hunter jumped on him. "Down boy." He said pushing him off. Getting up, Naruto smiled at her. "I'm going to check up on Barbara." He said before giving her a kiss, rubbed Hunter's head, and disappearing.

At Barbara's Apartment.

Naruto flashed in Barbara's bedroom. "Hey Barb..." He stopped seeing her lying on her bed on her stomach, reading a book. In nothing, but one of his black shirts and black panties. "Hey Naruto." She greeted the now speechless Naruto. Smiling, she got up, and walked over to him. She wrapped her arms around him, and gave him a kiss, in which he returned.

"What's with the surprised visit?" He looked down to her, and smiled. "Just making sure you're here, and Alright." He picked her up bridle style, and brought them to the bed, and told her everything. "Really? I was with Richard?" She asked as he nodded. "What about Cheetah, and Kara?" Naruto sighed before leaning forward. "Kurama said he couldn't feel Kara, and I guess because I wasn't there in that time line, Barb. was still a criminal."

"Well.. I thought I would be with Bruce." Naruto blinked before turning to her. "What I thought he was cute." Naruto's jaw dropped at that. "What?" She smiled before scooting closer to him. "Yeah I had a crush on Bruce... Before I met you." She said before pushing him on the bed, straddle his waist, leaned down, and kissed him.

A Few Days Later, Cemetery. With Diana and Naruto.

Naruto's car pulled beside a hill, and stopped. Naruto got out of the driver's side, in his suit, and walked around opening the door for Diana, who's in a black dress. They walked up to the top where two tombstones were under a tree. Diana walked up to one, and read the name. "Steve Trevor." And the other one besides his read. "Etta Candy Trevor." Naruto unsealed two bouquets of flowers, and left them on each one.

"You going to be okay?" Naruto asked Diana who nodded. "Yes." She replied not looking away from the tombstones. "We could still see him.. I'm sure we'll be traveling to the past again.. We'll see him then." She smiled at him before they both left.

John, Retirement Home.

John, in a beige coat, black pants, and wearing sunglasses' walked inside the building to a receptionist a brown-haired woman. "Excuse me.. Is a Sargent Rock here?" The woman nodded, and pointed to a group of elderly men playing cards. He walked over, and Rock looked up to him. "I'm guessing you went back in time if you're here." John raised an eyebrow at that before sitting down.

"We figured you went back in time once we saw you on TV." Wildman said as he started dealing cards. John picked up his cards, and threw in some poker chips on the table.

Now.

Apokolips.

A green hologram of a man with a black moustache goatee combo looked up to a muscular man in Black, blue trimmed armor with grey skin, and red eyes. "Lord Darkseid.. We were attacked as soon as we hit the troposphere.. We are in full retreat." Darkseid looked to the hologram as two men one in robes, and a hood over his face, and the other with wild long hair walked to him.

The one in robes spoke up as he turned around. "You know going in that sector violates our treaty with New Genesis." Darkseid looked to him before replying. "It's a risk I was willing to take." Darkseid looked back to the hologram. "It was an honor to fight with you General.. Take as many as you can with you." The General nodded, before the hologram shorted out with the General screaming.

"We lost contact." Suddenly a man with a silver helmet with a sun on the forehead came up on the hologram, and spoke up. "The General can't come to the phone now." Darkseid's eyes glowed as he growled, and leaned forward. "Orion." Orion continued as he smirked. "But.. Here's a present from Highfather." After a moment, the building shook, and exploded.

Darkseid pushed the rubble from him, and a hologram of an elderly man with a beard came up. "This is your last Warning Darkseid.. Break the treaty again, and we'll retaliate." Darkseid sighed as he looked to the crater in his city the blast caused. Later, as Darkseid's citizens were fixing his statue, a big ship came down, and started attacking as a green force field went around it.

Darkseid narrowed his eyes as a robot with a purple silver-trimmed body, green head with three dots on his forehead forming a triangle floated out.

Watchtower Later.

Shayera was watching a documentary that was featuring hawks on a TV broadcast. "Magnificent aren't they?" Turning around, she saw J'onn and Naruto at the doorway. She nodded before turning back to the screen. "Yes.. Yes they are." Naruto and J'onn walked in, up to her, and Naruto looked down to her. "Feeling homesick?" She turned to him surprised, as J'onn spoke up. "It doesn't take a telepath to know what you're thinking."

She sighed before answering. "No.. I guess not." Naruto puts a hand on her shoulder, and smiled. "Want to talk?" Looking up, she smiled, before they walked down the hall, and she told the story of how she came to Earth. "I tracked them to their fortress, and like a ranked amateur, I stumbled right in to a trap.. By all rights I should be dead."

"Their particle beam ripped my molecules apart, and sent them halfway across the cosmos." She finished looking out the window. J'onn stared at her for a second, before speaking up. "And you have no idea where your home is?" Shayera looked back before replying. "J'onn.. We're so far away that we've never came in contact with the Green Lantern Corps, or even one of their members for that matter."

Naruto glanced out the window before crossing his arms. "I'm sure you'll find your home." She smiled before noticing J'onn looking down. "J'onn?" Looking up to them, he replied. "I was just thinking.. You, me, Kage, Wonder Woman, Superman.. We are, all of us, orphans and exiles." Shayera smiled before speaking up. "Maybe we should call ourselves, the 'Just-us' League." Earning a chuckle from both J'onn and Naruto.

Suddenly, the Watchtower shook. "What the hell is that?" Naruto asked before jumping down as the others flew. When he got to the bottom, he saw Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman looking at a computer. "Sensors have been picking up a powerful energy surge." Batman said as Superman leaned in. "I've never seen anything like this." Superman narrowed his eyes before speaking up. "It's a Boom-tube."

Suddenly, a webbed lighted tunnel came up behind them, and Darkseid walked out. "Hello. We meet again Kal-El." Superman glared at him, dashed over, and punched him in to a wall shaking the tower. Batman pointed to them, and yelled out. "Stop them before they push us out of orbit!" Wonder Woman, and J'onn, ran over, and stopped Superman. "Wait Superman, don't!" Wonder Woman said as she held his right arm.

"I see you haven't forgotten me at all." Darkseid said standing up, and crossing his arms behind his back. Superman just glared at him. "What do you want?" Darkseid sighed before explaining. "Though it pains me to say it... I need your help. My last.. skirmish with New Genesis left my forces at less than full strength." Wonder Woman, and J'onn let Superman go as he stopped struggling.

"Why should we help you?" Darkseid brought up a controller, and brought up a screen showing the robot. "Because my enemy, is your enemy.. Even as we speak, Apokolips is being threatened my a Kryptonian menace known as.. Brainiac." Superman just scoffed at him. "You're lying.. I destroyed him" Darkseid shook his head. "Apparently.. He's harder to kill then you think."

"You should know his pattern by heart Kal-El.. Once he get all the information from my planet..." Superman picked up where he left off. "He'll destroy it.. Good." Everyone but Naruto and Batman looked shocked at him. Darkseid created another boom-tube, and stepped in. "You may not care what happens to me, or my world but know this.. Once he's done with my plant.. Millions, countless more are in jeopardy."

Leaving in the tube, the others looked to Superman. Hawkgirl walked up too him. "So you're going to let millions of lives die.. Just because you don't like this guy?" Superman turned to face the group. "You don't know him like I do." He said before Batman spoke up. "We know he used you.. Humiliated you.. Brainwashed you.. Wound you up like a toy solider, and turned you on the world.." He walked up to Superman as he talked, and got in his face.

"Cry me a river." Superman narrowed his eyes as Naruto walked over. "Come on Superman.. The people under him are innocent.. The ones that's not in his army anyway." Superman ignored him as he continued to glare at Batman. "Be the better man.. At least stop Brainiac, but if the off chance that Darkseid's not telling the truth, we'll kick his ass."

Batman nodded and continued talking to Superman. "On the outside chance this isn't a scheme by Darkseid; we need to act, and take out Brainiac." J'onn walked up, and puts a hand on Superman's shoulder. "Brainiac has already taken countless worlds.. Do you want that to be your people's legacy?" Superman sighed, and after a moment, he replied. "I'm telling you there's something wrong with this whole scenario.."

Naruto shrugged before speaking up. "Like I said.. We'll kick both of their asses." Superman walked up to Batman. "We'll play Darkseid's game.. for now. But I need you to do something for me."

Superman, J'onn, Hawkgirl, and Kurama at Apokolips.

Brainiac was attacking Darkseid's army as a force field was protecting his ship. A boom-tube opened, and the heroes in the Javelin flew in. Hawkgirl looked to Superman, and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like Darkseid's telling the truth" Superman glanced at Brainiac before unbuckling his seatbelt. "I still think something's up." All but J'onn unbuckled up, and flew out, with Kurama jumping down. (A/N: Again, no bold words, and Kurama will only be used as a back-up plan for the team.)

Superman flew to the force field, and was thrown back to Darkseid. "Weak.. You'll never beat him like that." Superman looked up to him before speaking up. "And I suppose you have a better idea?" Darkseid glanced back to Brainiac before replying. "You should know by now.. I always have a plan."

Naruto, Wonder Woman, and Batman on the surface of New Genesis.

The three heroes walked out of the boom-tube, and Batman groaned leaning on a broken wall. "That was uncomfortable." He said standing up, and pocketing the remote for the boom-tube. They looked around, and saw only fields, and trees. "Are we in the right place?" Naruto asked looking around, before the ground shook.

Suddenly a giant worm like creature came out of the ground. "Oh come on! My luck's not that bad!" Naruto quickly got his bow out, and fired an explosive arrow at the creature. The creature shook its head, and attacked them catching Batman in his mouth. Wonder Woman's eyes widened. "Batman!" She flew up, and tried to pry open the creatures mouth. Naruto took out an arrow with a green glowing tip.

"Out of the way!" He yelled shooting the arrow, which exploded in gas, having the creature sway before falling down asleep. "Are you alright?" Looking back, they saw a man with red skin, black eyes, in a white robe, and a blue shield. Naruto nodded before speaking up. "Yes thank you." The man nodded before giving his names. "I'm called Forager."

"Do you know where we could find.. Orion?" Forager took a step back, and looked down. "Orion? I'm just an un-worthy bug. Orion is a god that's high above us." Wonder Woman looked surprised at that. "Don't beat yourself up.." Forager looked back up before pointing up to the sky. "No.. They're really above us." looking up, the heroes saw a floating golden city.

"I'm going to need a longer grapnel." Wonder Woman, and Naruto looked to Batman who spoke up. Naruto grabbed one of his Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God.) arrows, and handed it to Wonder Woman. "Here, throw this when you get up there." Wonder Woman flew up with Batman as Naruto sat down on the ground. "How come you're not going?" Naruto looked to Forager before shrugging.

"I'll be there in a minute." After a moment, Naruto disappeared, and came up to a building where he saw a man with short brown hair, a white costume, red boots, gloves, and trunks flying with Wonder Woman. He narrowed his eyes when he raised his hand.

Smack!

"Hey!" Naruto glared as the man slapped Wonder Woman's ass. Adding chakra to his legs, Naruto jumped across the buildings after the group. He saw Batman drop down on a bridge as the man flew around the other side of the building its connected to, and dropped down beside him. Batman took off his cape, and Naruto grabbed it with him, and held it open.

The man flew into the cape and fell to the ground, and was caught by Wonder Woman, who held him still. "Calm down, we don't want to hurt you." She said before hearing a click behind her. Turning around, the group saw Orion in a red costume, and in a jetpack with a gun pointed at them. "No.. You won't."

On Apokolips.

Superman flew up, with a Stone support, threw it at Brainiac, but was destroyed by the field. Brainiac looked towards Superman before speaking up. "Kal-El, what brings you so far from your adopted home?" Brainiac asked as Superman glared at him. "To take you down." Brainiac brought his right arm up, and a keypad opened up. "If your father Jor-El couldn't stop me.. What makes you think you can?"

"Disable the force field, and find out." Brainiac shook his head before answering. "No I don't think that's necessary." Suddenly a beam of electricity came out of his hands, went through the field, and hits Superman. Superman powered through and flew to the field, and started pulling the hole so he can get through. A beam went under Superman's leg, and hits Brainiac making a hole in his chest.

Brainiac tried to bring his right arm up, but was attacked by Superman's heat vision cutting the arm off. The field dispelled having the army attack, and hits Superman, and Brainiac. "Another time Kal-El." Brainiac said as a light from his ship hits him taking him inside. "No!" Superman flew after as Hawkgirl followed with three of Brainiac attack bots coming after them.

Superman hits one having it explode. He hits the other ones having the explosion send him in to Hawkgirl, and sends both to the ground. Kurama, who took care of his bots, saw the two falling. "Crap!" He dashed over, jumped up, and caught them before they fell creating a small crater. Superman and Hawkgirl groaned as they sat up. Superman looked to Hawkgirl before speaking up.

"You alright?" She nodded before Kurama let out an annoyed grunt. "That's good and all, but could you two do me a tiny favor... GET OFF OF ME!" Getting up, the group heard an engine, and Darkseid stopped by them on a small ship. "What are you waiting for? Get him!" Superman just stared at him before speaking up. "Only because you asked nicely."

The Javelin hovered over them, and each went up inside. Hawkgirl strapped in, and looked to Superman. "Still think Darkseid has a hidden agenda?" Superman nodded before replying. "I'd bet the farm on it." They followed the ship in to an asteroid field, and eventually came to a huge one where the ship went into. After it went over a hill, it disappeared.

"What the hell?" Kurama asked as they came up to three holes that looks like the ones on Brainiac's forehead. "He really put that symbol on here? What's next? The asteroid looking like him?" When they got to the holes, a beam hits the Javelin, and pulls them in a hole. J'onn looked to a screen, and spoke up. "We're being pulled, we have no control." Superman looked forward for a moment before he spoke. "Keep your eyes open."

Soon, they landed on a platform, walked out, and another platform came up to them. Walking on, they went to a big room with Brainiac's three circles on the floor. "Welcome Kal-El." Turning around, they saw Brainiac come up on a throne. "One I made you the offer to join me.. I'll make it again." Superman just scoffed at him. "You must be joking."

"Why do you reject your great heritage?" Suddenly pictures of Krypton, and Superman's parents came up. "It's entire history.. Is coded in me." Superman looked at each screen as Hawkgirl looked at him. "Superman you can't be think.." She stopped as he raised his hand before Brainiac finished. "I am Krypton." Superman just glared again. "You're a perversion.. Dishonoring the very memory of its people, my people."

"And this is your final decision?" Superman just stared at him. "Read my lips.. Go to he.." Brainiac stopped him, and brought two cannons out. "Move!" Kurama created a hand, and took one cannon out as J'onn phased through another. Soon everyone attacked Brainiac with Hawkgirl delivering the last blow. "Someone had to do it. She panted out as Superman smiled. "Is it over?" J'onn asked before Brainiac spoke up.

"No.. It's far from over." Turning around, they saw several Brainiac's come flying out, and attacked. Kurama created several ethereal hands, grabbed five of them, and slammed them together. As the others were taking care of their Brainiac's, a boom-tube opened up behind Kurama. As he turned around, he was hit by beams from Darkseid's eyes, sent into J'onn and Hawkgirl, and sent in to the floor.

"Darkseid?!" Superman turned around, and was shocked by Brainiac, and Darkseid until he was unconscious. Brainiac floated down to Superman, and looked up. "It appears our stratagem was a success." Darkseid nodded looking at the hole the others made before turning around. "Yes.. I delivered Superman.. Will you leave Apokolips alone?" Brainiac nodded as he took Superman down the hall with Darkseid following.

Earlier on New Genesis.

Highfather holding a staff was teaching a group of kids as they trimmed rose bushes. One blond-haired girl looked on in sadness as her bush looked like it was dead. "I hate this." Highfather looked to her. "What's wrong little one." The girl pointed to her bush and explained. "I've tried Highfather, really I have.. But look." Highfather smiled before speaking.

"Patience my dear.. Everything has a purpose, and a place." The girl flicked a worm off of her bush. "Everything?" Highfather nodded before putting his staff on the bush, and it grew healthy. "Highfather." Turning around, Highfather saw Orion with out his pack, Naruto, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Lightray run up to him. "Urgent news from Apokolips."

Wonder Woman spoke up. "We're friends of Superman.. To tell you Darkseid's under attack at Apokolips." Highfather looked to the kids. "Follow me.. We'll be a moment children." Walking a few feet away, the heroes explained what's happening on Apokolips while Orion tried to get Highfather to give the okay to mount an attack. "You forget.. In the name of peace, we swore not to interfere on Apokolips.. We made a pact."

"As long as Darkseid's in power, there can be no real peace." Highfather nodded before speaking up. "There is truth in what you say." Orion interrupted him, and raised his fist. "Then give the order." Highfather shook his head before looking at Orion. "No!" Highfather went on to explain of the war between New Genesis, and Apokolips before the peace treaty.

"I must communicate with the Source.. You will wait for my order." Orion nodded before walking away. "Yes Highfather." He punched the wall as the heroes looked to each other. Later, Orion was putting on his pack as Wonder Woman spoke up. "Those people down below.. Who are they?" Orion looked back before replying. "No one important.. Just bugs."

He floated up as the heroes walked to him. "What are you doing?" Wonder Woman asked as Orion puts a remote on his pack. "Facing Darkseid." Their eyes widened at that. "But Highfather told you to wait." Orion turned on the remote making a boom-tube, and flew in. Batman growled before following after. "Next time I let Superman take charge.. Just punch me real hard." Naruto jumped in after him and Wonder Woman. "I'll hold you to that."

With Superman.

Superman screamed as he was hooked up to a platform with Brainiac's logo on his head. Darkseid puts a small box on a computer he was standing by, and the room turned black. "What are you doing?" Brainiac asked before Darkseid explained. "Just overriding your controls to follow my orders." Back in the other room, Kurama pulled the others out of the hole. "I guess the Boy Scout was right.. Can you find him J'onn?" Kurama asked as J'onn's eyes glowed.

"No.. He's either unconscious, or..." Hawkgirl picked up Kurama, and flew down the hall passing pictures of other worlds. J'onn spoke up after looking around. "So many worlds.. There may be information on Thanagar." Hawkgirl stiffened before speaking up. "No time for that, let's find Superman." Kurama looked up to her for a moment. "She's either really has her head in the game, or she doesn't want us to see something."

They flew in, and saw Superman tied up on a platform screaming. Hawkgirl attacked Darkseid sending him down on another platform. "Brainiac, stop them." Several Brainiac's flew up and started attacking them. Hawkgirl destroyed several before being hit, and fell to a platform unconscious. Suddenly Orion, and the other flew in, and helped attack other the Brainiac's. Naruto shot several E.M.P. arrows at them before noticing Hawkgirl's prone form. "Hawkgirl!" He jumped down, and picked her up.

J'onn helped them up as Batman banged on the computer freeing Superman. He groaned before standing up. "Where's Darkseid?" Kurama jumped down after destroying another Brainiac. "Don't know, don't care.. We need to get out of here, now." Everyone left, and later came up to the Javelin. Naruto puts Hawkgirl down before looking around. "Where's Superman?" Everyone looked around before Batman cursed. "Go on we'll catch up!"

Kurama followed after him. "I'll make sure they'll be alright." They ran, and found Superman walking to a downed Darkseid under rubble. "Superman!" Batman yelled as Superman looked back. ""Go.. I'm finishing this." Batman ran over, and grabbed his shoulder, but was hit to the wall. "Go now." He tried to walk back, but chakra hands stopped him as another picked up an unconscious Orion. "Now Bats!" Batman hits the remote to a boom-tube puling them in right before the base exploded.

Later on the surface of New Genesis.

Kurama punched Superman having him spit blood. "You idiot.. You almost killed Orion because you were too blinded by hate." Superman stared at him before Kurama continued. "Could you live with that? His blood on your hands? Or what if people from New Genesis wanted to attack you on Earth in retaliation? Revenge? How would you deal with them attacking billions of people because you let one of their own die on your watch?"

Superman said nothing before looking to see Naruto take off his right glove revealing a white circle on his palm. Naruto puts his hand on Orion for a moment before turning to Highfather. "He'll be fine now." Walking over to the now awake Hawkgirl, he put his hand on her before groaning, as Kurama dispelled. Hawkgirl looked amazed as her ribs stopped hurting. "They're good as new.. I could still kiss them to make them better if you want."

Hawkgirl flicked him in the forehead before standing up. "Easy lover boy.. Diana probably won't like that." Naruto chuckled putting the glove on before feeling a hand on his shoulder. Turning around, he saw Diana looking at him. "Why didn't you use that ability when Aresia attacked the men?" Naruto chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. "I forgot about it.. I don't use this power much as not to rely on it." (1.)

She smiled at him before giving him a kiss. "That's understandable.. You don't want a crutch." He smiled before hearing kids laugh, and saw the kids from earlier, along with Forager. He wrapped his arm around her, and walked over to the group. He stepped on something, looked down, and saw a piece of Brainiac's forehead. "Well crap."

He took out a scroll, and carefully puts the piece in it. "We'll need to dispose of this properly." Diana nodded before walking to the group. Naruto stared at the scroll for a moment before pocketing it, and following after Diana.

To Be Continued.

A/N: Thanks for reading, and let me know of any mistakes'.

Beta: Jebest4781.

1. When I wrote that chapter, he didn't have that ability yet. I won't use it much the cloak/power because I don't want Naruto to beat everybody very easy.

I know I said I would do my first story but I'm working on a long chapter for the one year anniversary of the story.. And I'm stuck on the fights.. I get a writers block for Naruto/O.C. fights (for a challenging fight.) Also I put up another story 'Hero Rising' It's a Young Justice/Naruto story based on the show not the comic.

Well nothing more to say.

Talk To You Later,

Lone Wolf Out.
