Chapter XVIII: Only A Dream.
Last Time.
Ok... What did I miss?" Naruto asked as Supergirl sighed before looking to him. "Darcy's trying to take over as Daisy.. And we're having trouble telling which one's which." Naruto raised an eyebrow before looking to Superman, and Supergirl. "Your x-ray can't tell the difference?" They shook their heads before Supergirl spoke up. "No.. They're like twins.. They're the same right down to their D.N.A."
"Oh I'd like to punch this fakes block off." One Daisy said as the other glared at her. Static snapped his fingers, and smiled. "I got it.. Every human has their own electrical aura... and I can make it visible.. The one that doesn't is the fake." Static created a ball that expanded around them, and everyone glowed.
Superman's yellow, Toyman's green, Naruto's a mix between red and orange, Supergirl's purple, Gear's blue, and one Daisy's pink while Statics is white. "Stand back." Darcy said holding a Ping-Pong ball, and a sling shot. "What's that going to do?" Static asked as Toyman spoke up. "That ball packs enough energy to take out this whole block.. Trust me I made it."
Darcy ran ahead, only to stop, and fall to her knees in pain. "What?" She asked as she started to melt. Toyman explained he made a fail-safe, and held up the antidote. "Yoink!" Naruto grabbed it, and held it out. "I'll give this to you on one condition." Darcy groaned as she looked up to Naruto. "Anything." Naruto knelt to her, and smiled.
"I'm making a spy network.. Why don't you join?" She raised an eyebrow at him. "Ok.. But why try to help me?" Naruto shrugged giving her the antidote. "Because even though you went a little crazy.. All you wanted was our own life.. Besides I tried talking sense in to worse people countless times.. Only worked a handful though."
He helped her up as her skin returned to normal. "I'll work on a way so the Nano-bots can change your appearance.. You won't be able to do this looking like a teenaged girl." Later, the cops came, and arrested Toyman as the heroes looked to each other. "Thanks for saving me Superman. " Daisy said as Superman smiled. "No problem but thank Static.. We couldn't have done it with out him."
"Well if you ever need a side-kick, or someone to watch the Fortress of Solitude, or the Watchtower..." Superman smiled at Static. "You two are at the top of the list." He flew off as Darcy turned to Naruto. "So.. What do I do?" Naruto turned to her and smiled. "Nothing now until we work on the Nano-bots.. For now I'll have you stay in Florida."
He looked up to see Static carrying Daisy, and Gear fly off. "Why did you save her?" Supergirl asked as Naruto created a cone for Darcy to follow. Naruto shrugged before replying. "Like I said.. I've tried to turn more bad guys to my side in my world.. Only worked few though.." She picked him up, and flew after Superman in to the moonlight.
Now.
Metropolis Prison.
A man with short brown hair in a grey cover-all was asleep mumbling before being jolted awake by a guard. "Your turn John." He said as John stood up, and looked to the psychiatrist room. He walked to the door, and the guard spoke up again. "What's easy?" The guard asked as John looked to him, and raised an eyebrow. "You were talking in your sleep."
"My.. Parole.. I think I'll get it this time." The guard smiled at him before speaking up. "I wouldn't bet against it.. You're not like the others, you have a future." John opened the door, saw the prison doctor, and a strange machine. "Yeah I've got a date with destiny." He said smiling. (Look up this episode for a better image of the machine.)
Later, after the Doctor turned the machine off, he turned to John. "That's it? I don't feel any different." John said as the Doctor picked up four cards. "You're not supposed to.. Just let your mind go blank, and tell me what comes to mind after I read these cards." John closed his eyes for a moment before seeing images as the Doctor looked to each card.
"Uhhh... A car maybe.. A tree.. A cow.. A house." John opened his eyes as the Doctor showed he got every card right. "Incredible.. So this thing really can give people E.S.P." The Doctor sighed as he went to the controls. "Only temporarily.. I'm still studying for any side-affects." John looked to the machine for a moment before speaking up.
"Still I'd like to continue to help you... Even after they let me out... See what this baby can really do." The Doctor sighed again before turning around to face him. "What it can do is fry your brain." John shrugged before smiling. "Sometimes you've got to take chances for science." They suddenly heard a knock on the door, and the guard from earlier walked in with a frown.
A Few Days Later, Naruto's House Middle Of The Night.
Naruto groaned as his earpiece rang. He felt someone move on him, looked down, and saw Diana with her head on his chest. He picked his earpiece up from the nightstand, and whispered. "Kage here." After a second, he heard Batman's voice on the other end. "There's a prison break in Metropolis.. Grundy, Copperhead, Luminus, Volcana, and Firefly are on the move."
Naruto blinked at that before carefully removing himself from Diana's grip. "What's Firefly doing there? I though he mainly stayed in Gotham?" He asked before Batman started explaining. "He attacked Superman the other day." Naruto nodded before getting up, and getting dressed in his stealth outfit.
"Naruto.. What is it?" Naruto glanced back to Diana, who was rubbing her eyes, only to turn back, and blushed at her topless form. "Prison break in the city." He heard her stand before speaking up. "Go back to bed.. You just got back from D.C. not too long ago.." He heard the bed squeak before turning back, and gave her a kiss.
"I shouldn't be too long." Walking out, he heard Barbara purring from her door next to his that's cracked open. He smiled before quietly closing the door, and walked downstairs seeing Hunter run in his sleep before walking outside.
Later.
Naruto caught up to Batman, Green Lantern, and Batgirl who's fighting a woman with orange hair reaching the ground. She's wearing a dark red leather outfit consisting of a sleeveless top with a hole showing her cleavage; light red gloves, boots and shoulder bands shooting fire out of her hands. "That must be Volcana.." He thought before hearing a jetpack.
He turned around, and saw a man in a silver suit with a belt, helmet with bug eyes, and a small flamethrower gun using a jetpack to fly. "And that must be Firefly." Volcana's skin suddenly turned orange as fire engulfed her whole body, and Firefly flew behind her. Naruto quickly grabbed his bow, and shot an arrow at Volcana that exploded in white foam drenching her powers.
Batman used his grapnel gun to wrap around Firefly legs before pulling him down on to Volcana. Green Lantern created a dome around them as Volcana got up, and started attacking the dome with Firefly. After a moment, they suddenly grabbed their throats, and fell down unconscious. "Anyone else here?" Naruto asked fixing his bow back on his quiver.
"No these are the only two here.. The others are going after the other three." Batman replied as the police cuffed the two villains before putting them in a van made to negate their powers.
Prison, Later.
"Two down three to go." Green Lantern said as they locked up Volcana, and Firefly. Naruto looked to the glass pod that held Volcana as he held Batgirl by the waist. "I could just give her a seal like the others." He said as Batman yawned. The Warden looked over to him, and raised an eyebrow. "Pretty routine stuff for you right?"
Batman rubbed his neck before replying. "Haven't slept in three days." Before anything else could be said, the Wardens Walkie-Talkie went off. "Warden, Dee's missing." The Wardens eyes widened at that. "What the hell are you talking about? Dee's catatonic." After a moment, the officer replied. "You'd better come to the infirmary."
As they walked to the Infirmary, the Warden explained they testing a machine that gives people E.S.P on volunteering inmates as Batgirl deadpanned. "And you decided to use a machine that gives people E.S.P on inmates.. Couldn't they use that to their advantage?" She asked as the Warden looked to her before turning a corner.
"What the hell?" Naruto asked seeing inmates in the hall either unconscious or staring in to space mumbling. They all dashed inside the room where more inmates, and a guard the same way. After getting the inmates back in their beds, Batman walked back in to the hall where the laundry chute is, and opened it. "It may be too late, but have your men check the laundry room."
"But what happened to everyone? Poisoning?" Before anyone could reply, Green Lantern puts a hand to his ear. "Go ahead." He answered before hearing Superman speak up. "We've got the other three pinned down at the old West Side refinery." Green Lantern nodded before Batman spoke up. "I'm staying." Green Lantern looked to him, and raised an eyebrow. "Why? You don't know Dee did this."
"I don't know that he didn't." Batman replied as Green Lantern scoffed. "Look whoever he is.. He's a nobody.. He's not in the same league as Grundy, and the others." Batman just stared at him before speaking up. "Ever read 'The Odyssey'? After Odysseus was caught by the Cyclopes, he told him his name was 'Nobody'."
"And when he poked his eye out, and escaped. The Cyclopes friends asked him who did it.. All he could say was 'Nobody'." Green Lantern sighed before he spoke up. "Point taken." Naruto walked up to give his two cents. "Yeah I've learned to never underestimate anyone.. Technically I defeated the leader of my village with one move when I was twelve."
"You mean that move?" Naruto flinched as Batgirl spoke up, glaring at him. "You weren't complaining when I showed the other version of it." He said smirking making Batgirl blush a little. "What do you know about John Dee?" Batman asked the Warden before a guard came up. "I may be able to help."
West Side Refinery.
Hawkgirl flew down a hall before seeing someone dash down another. "Luminus!" She flew after him showing a man in a black body suit with orange lines, and circles on it. "Hold it!" Luminus smiled as he looked back, and held up a small device with the same design as his suit. "Hold what this?" A bright light suddenly blinded her.
With a war cry, she threw her mace breaking the device, and saw Luminus was gone. Flying down the hall, she saw an open door, and flew in it, and in o an invisible wall. Suddenly, a metal box came to view as it closed on her, and started shrinking. "AAHH!" Hawkgirl screamed hitting the walls with her mace before the box started crushing her as it shrank.
She started hyperventilating as her eyes darted around. Suddenly, a hand came through the door before pulling it off the hinges. Hawkgirl walked out, and saw Superman staring at her. "You alright?" She looked down as the box disappeared. "It was Luminus." Superman nodded at her before speaking up. "Don't worry about it, he's fooled others a lot worse."
"You ok?" He asked hearing a sniffle from her. "I'm fine." She replied walking away making sure Superman didn't see her as she wiped her face.
On The Roof.
Naruto dropped down with Supergirl looking around. "Where could she be?" Naruto asked looking around as Supergirl looked around with her x-ray. "I don't see her any..." She stopped hearing something behind her, and ducked a kick to the head. "Nice try." She said looking over her shoulder seeing Copperhead.
"Not bad girly." Copperhead said with a smirk before dashing forward. Naruto jumped in front of her to clothesline her, but she bent back, and used her hands to keep from falling down. She quickly stood up, and jumped to him, and wrapped her arms, and legs around him, and squeezed his neck.
Supergirl growled before pulling her off of Naruto, and sending her flying to another building. Supergirl caught up and hits her to the roof, knocking Copperhead out. Later they put the escapees into a truck that drove off to put them back into prison. Later, Naruto walked back inside of his home before removing his coat, and vest.
Walking into his room, he removed his pants, and went under the covers where Diana moved over to him, and wrapped her arm around his waist. He smiled before closing his eyes, and falling asleep.
Naruto's Dream.
Naruto woke up, and saw he was in a street in Konaha.. "What the..?" He asked looking around before seeing his reflection in a window. "The hell?" His eyes widened seeing his five-year old self in an old white t-shirt, and black shorts. He suddenly heard angry shouts, and saw a mob walking towards him. "Why am I dreaming this..? I haven't had this nightmare since I left to train." He thought before a figure appeared in front of him.
He's wearing an all blue costume with a hooded cape, and a skull face. "My, my... You have had a really crappy childhood, didn't you? I actually feel bad making you relive this." He said as Naruto glared at him. "Who the hell are you?" Naruto asked, as the man seemed to smirk. "I'm Dr. Destiny." Naruto deadpanned at him. "Really? That's the best name you could come up with?" Dr. Destiny disappeared as the mob closed in on Naruto.
Diana's Dream.
Wonder Woman was suddenly in the Javelin heading to Themyscira. "No.." She whispered seeing smoke coming from the beach. Landing, she walked out, and saw several Amazons in stone before flying off to her mother. "Mother." She said going in to the throne room, and saw her mother frozen. "You were too late Wonder Woman."
She turned to see Faust walking to her mother, and smiled. "What do you want? The key?" She asked before Faust looked to her mother. "No..." He said before using his magic to form a sledgehammer, and breaking Hippolyta's head off. "NO!" She screamed before Faust disappeared, and Dr. Destiny took his place. "This is it, right? Not being able to save your loved ones? To see them die before your very eyes?"
He disappeared as the room shook before putting a hand to her ear. "I need help."
Kara's Dream.
Kara in a wedding dress was walking down the aisle with her father. She blushed looking at Naruto as she stopped in front of him before looking to the Priest. Before anything else could be said, the room shook, and the windows broke showing her home Argo. "Krypton was just destroyed!" Someone yelled running inside as another explosion went off.
"Oh dear.." Kara turn to her left, and saw Dr. Destiny. "It seems your big day is left in ruins... What a pity." He said in a mock hurt voice holding a hand over his heart. He disappeared as lava started coming out of the ground with everyone running in a panic.
Barbara's/Cheetah's Dream.
Barbara was walking down the street before she suddenly transformed in to her cheetah form with long claws. "AAHH!" She heard someone yell as people started running away from her, as her canines grew a little larger. "To be seen as a monster..." She heard a voice behind her talking. Turning around, she saw Dr. Destiny with his arms crossed in front of his chest.
"That's your big fear after turning in to a hybrid." He finished before disappearing as people either ran from her, or threw things at her. She started running in to an ally where she saw Naruto in his costume. "Na.. Kage." She said running to him only to be slapped by him. She looked up with tears before seeing him pull a kunai out. "It seems you're going back to your old ways Cheetah.. To think I even fell in love with you."
She quickly got up, and ran past him. Seeing his motorcycle, she got on, and drove down the street hoping to get away from him.
Naruto's Dream.
Naruto jumped up to a roof blood coming down his face, and arms. He was about to jump to another until a giant paw came down on the mob. "Damn I really hate this kind of power.. Reminds me of what Madara tried to do." (1.) Kurama said with a snort before everything shattered, and Naruto woke up in a sweat.
He heard Diana mumbling, looked over to her, and saw her moving, and sweating. "Diana!" He tried to wake her up only for her to punch him off the bed. "Owww." He groaned before getting up, and rubbed his jaw. He created a clone before grabbing her hands as the clone helped her dress in a large shirt and pajama pants.
He heard a hiss before running next door. "Barbara! Wake up!" He shook her just as she slashed his chest with her claws causing him to hiss in pain. "Damn that hurts." He cursed before hearing an engine. Looking out of the window, he saw the Javelin, and the Batmobile land, and stops in front of his house. He picked Barbara up showing her black pants, and tank top.
He went out in the hall where his clone was carrying Diana, and went outside. "How are you not affected?" Batman asked as Batgirl ran up to Naruto, and hugged him. "Kurama was able to break this 'Dr. Destiny's'… 'Spell'." Naruto explained as Batgirl hugged him tighter. "I thought I lost you.. When we couldn't wake the others I..." She was cut off by Naruto kissing her.
Realizing something, Naruto blinked and ended the kiss. "Wait… The others?" He asked as Batgirl nodded, and explained. "Yeah we can't wake the others up.. Nothing we tried has worked." Naruto quickly looked to his right where the Kent's house is. "Kara may be affected as well." He dashed through the field before coming back a minute later with Kara in her blue pajamas.
Flash's Dream.
Flash woke up in his costume before looking up to see a bedroom. "But I haven't been here since.." His eyes widened before dashing downstairs where a blonde-haired woman is cooking breakfast. "Morning Wally.. I made your favorite." Before he could say anything, the news went off on the T.V. "A storm is picking up in the Antarctic."
His eyes widened before dashing out, and coming to where the 'storm' is. He saw what looked like him with two other people both in yellow costumes. One being a teen with brown hair, and the other in his early twenties with short red hair running around what looked like a tornado. "No.." Flash whispered as the red-haired man was hit by lightning, and disappeared.
"Well, well.. You have two big fears..." Flash turned seeing Dr. Destiny behind him. "Reliving this... And going so fast that everyone else is frozen." He continued snapping his fingers taking them to a city where people are frozen before everything went grey.
Watchtower with Naruto and J'onn.
Naruto watched as Hawkgirl flinched in her pod as she, and the others where hooked up to monitors. He heard Snapper Carr on the screen showing the news of John Dee, and his wife. "In a related case, John Dees wife Penny was brought to the hospital earlier tonight.." Naruto looked to see J'onn talking to Batman over the microphone.
"Dee's wife didn't make it." He said as Naruto got up, and moved to the pods with Diana, and Barbara are in, and sat down on a chair. "I'll go with you.. Kurama could help like he did for me." J'onn's eyes closed for a second before opening with a glow, as did Naruto's.
Superman's Dream. (A/N: I'm only doing the ending for the dream's from here since they stay canon.)
Naruto, Kurama in his fox form, and J'onn walked in a destroyed Metropolis. "I wonder what his fear is?" Naruto asked before hearing Superman's voice. "Help me!" They ran to the Daily Planet, and saw a really muscular Superman with red glowing eyes. "This isn't real." J'onn said as Superman paced around. "I started with no power... What if I gain more?" He asked as J'onn looked to him.
"You'll handle it." J'onn replied as Naruto stayed quiet. "Words.. Just words." Superman flew out with the others following behind him towards Smallville. They landed at the Kent farm, and found Superman hiding in the ship that brought him to Earth in the barn. "I can help you." J'onn said as Superman shook his head. "You'll get hurt." J'onn shook his head as Kurama came up to tem.
"No.. We're both stronger in here than any of you... J'onn can help you, and I can keep Dr. Destiny from attacking." J'onn reached down to grab Superman, only for him to grab his hands. "Trust me.. I can take this from you." J'onn puts his hands on Superman's head. After a second, a light exploded from them destroying everything, and sending Naruto back away from them. He got up, and saw a normal Superman helping J'onn up. "Let's end this."
Batman and Batgirl.
The Duo was driving on a mountain road as a computer gave John's information. "I can drive if you want.. I did sleep today." Batgirl offered before Batman shook his head. Batman rubbed his eyes for a second moving in to the other lane. "Batman!" Batgirl screamed as a semi honked its horn. Batman swerved out-of-the-way, and into a guardrail.
"You're sure you're ok?" Batgirl asked as Batman nodded. "I'm fine." He replied before driving down the road. Getting in to town, Batman suddenly jerked his head, and hits two trash cans. "There's a coffee shop ahead.. I could get us some." Batgirl said pointing to a coffee shop coming up on their right.
Diana's Dream.
Wonder Woman panted as she looked to see Hades holding an unconscious Naruto by the neck as the others were on the ground. "Well.. What a pity.. I had such high hopes for the man you fell in love with." Hades taunted before bringing Naruto down, and snapped his neck. "NO!" Wonder Woman yelled flying over, and felt for Naruto's pulse. Only to find none.
"Diana.. It's not real." The Naruto in her arms disappeared before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked back to see Naruto smiling at her. "You are a strong woman... One of the strongest I know.. And I know a few." She got up as J'onn flew down to them. "And I know you can kick his ass." Naruto finished before Dr. Destiny appeared in front of them.
Kurama glared before jumping at him causing Dr. Destiny to scream. Naruto glanced to see Wonder Woman beat Hades before another door opened up.
Green Lantern's Dream.
J'onn flew in to see Green Lantern about to walk in a giant green lantern as Dr. Destiny watched. J'onn flew in front of Green Lantern, and raised a hand. "Halt. You're not an extension of this.. The ring chose you for a reason." Dr. Destiny attacked J'onn only for Superman, and the others to come in, and attacked.
Green Lantern flew in as Dr. Destiny laughed catching the others in his cape. Suddenly, the lantern exploded as Green Lantern flew out, and punched Dr. Destiny, and used his ring to capture him in a bubble.
Kara's Dream.
Kara in a ripped dress panted as she looked at the destruction around her. "Kara!" Naruto pushed her, as a huge rock fell where she was standing. "Naruto!" She screamed running over, and tried to push the rock off. She felt the ground shake before jumping back as lava came out of the ground bringing the rock down in to it. "NO!"
She felt arms wrap around her making her struggle. "It's me Kara.. I'm alright." She stopped struggling before turning to see Naruto smiling at her. "Putting the rips and tears aside, you really look breathtaking." He said before grunting as she hugged him hard.
Flash's Dream.
Flash sped around looking worried before J'onn, and the others came in. "Guys!" He said before seeing them freeze. "No come on guys." He said as J'onn spoke up slowly. "You.. Need.. To.. Look.. Inside.. Your..." Flash nodded before speaking up. "Yeah and...?" J'onn didn't replied making him sigh. "Ok, ok calm down, and think."
He took a deep breath before hearing his heartbeat slow down. He opened his eyes, and saw everyone moving again. "That worked." He said as the others came up to him. "See it pays to use your head." Green Lantern said before they heard Hawkgirl scream. "Help!" They saw a door leading to a graveyard before running to it.
They stopped as a barrier stopped them from entering. "I can get me, and Naruto in.. But it'll only work for us.. Go on to Barbara's dream, and we'll meet you there." Kurama said as red chakra covered him, and Naruto.
Hawkgirl's Dream.
"Hawkgirl!" Naruto yelled looking for her. "Help me please!" He heard her shout from a grave. He ran to it, went through several hand sings, and the coffin lifted up on a slab. He opened it, and Hawkgirl quickly got out, and hugged him. "Hey now... It's ok.. I'm here." Naruto said rubbing her back as she sobbed.
"Go on, and wake up if you want.. We just need to get Barbara out of her dream." He said as she shook her head. "No I want to get the bastard that did this." She replied before they stood up, and ran in to another door.
Barbara's Dream.
Naruto saw his house in ruin as the others stood on his porch. "Barbara inside?" He asked as they nodded. "Yes but we just heard a gunshot an.." J'onn stopped as Naruto dashed inside, and up to Barbara's room. He heard sniffling, and opened the door. His eyes widened seeing Barbara curled up against her bed holding a gun with him on the floor.
"Barb.." He stopped as she lifted the gun, and he saw her bloodshot eyes. "Get back." She said as he lifted his arms. "It's the real me Barb.. This is all a dream..." She pulled the hammer back, and wiped her eyes. "That's what he said." she replied looking down at the other Naruto. "Right before he tried to stab me."
Naruto slowly took off his coat, bow, and quiver. "I swear Barb. I'm real.. I would never hurt one of the loves of my life." He said slowly walking over. He stopped as the gun pressed against his chest. "If you think I'm fake, then pull the trigger." He finished staring in her eyes. She stared in his eyes for any hints of him lying, but found none.
She dropped the gun, and hugged him. "I.. I was so scared." She said sobbing in to his chest. "I know.. But you know I'll never let anything happen to you as long as I'm alive." He said before lifting her chin, and kissed her.
Batman And Batgirl; Abandoned Lexcorp building.
Batgirl watched as Batman fought John who's holding a syringe with a liquid in it before pulling out a set of bolas. She spun it around, and threw it at John's feet before kicking him in to a couple of crates. Batman lifted the crate to see John is unconscious with an empty syringe. "Good night."
Later, Barbara woke up to see the others staring at her. "Morning beautiful." Naruto said walking to her, and kissed her. "How do I know this isn't a dream?" She asked as Flash sped over. "I could pinch you." She deadpanned at him before speaking up. "Yeah I'm awake." She replied before hearing snoring. They looked over, and saw a rare sight of Batman sleeping on a chair snoring.
