Chapter LX: Crazy Times.

Last Time.

"Beware Jim Corrigan, lest you be judged!" The Spectre said as Deadman hit him with Shayera's mace. "I'm goin' in. Tell the bird girl her Nth-Metal crud really works!" He said before jumping into the Spectre and took him over.

In a few minutes, Deadman undid everything Spectre did while loose before walking to Naruto. "Kage, we good? I know Mama Rama plays a little rough sometimes." Naruto shrugged before walking away without a word.

Shayera walked up to him as Wonder Woman, who was turned into a candle helped the police with the criminals. Suddenly, Dr. Fate appeared and explained that Tala hexed the spirit plane and caused the Spectre to go "haywire".

"We saw what you saw." She said to Naruto who looked to her. "I saw that you've got a soul made out of Nth-Metal."

Smack!

"And you have an ass made of it." Naruto said after he smacked her ass.

Now.

Gotham, Unknown Location.

"Come on, Mr. J! What you need is a night on the town!" Harley Quinn said to a depressed looking Joker who sat on a chair in his hideout.

Even her pet hyenas seem to have an aura of sadness around them.

"What's the point? He won't be there." The Joker replied.

"So?! I've got an exploding banana here with Robin's name on it! And a giant Chinese finger trap coated in super-glue for Nightwing!"

"Second-stringers! I used to rate the main attraction! And today's even the anniversary of when we first met." Joker said pointing to a calendar with the 12 circled and a toy Batman pinned to it. "You don't think he's found someone else, do you?!"

Harley brought up the Gotham Gazette with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman on the front page.

'Justice League Embarks on Important Space Mission'

"He has puddin'! He has!"

Space.

The Joker and Harley stole a space shuttle and flew towards the Watchtower.

"Now let's see… First anniversary, paper… Fourth anniversary, linen. And for this anniversary, REVENGE! HA-HA-HA-HA!" Joker laughed as they neared the orbiting tower.

Inside the Watchtower, the only Leaguers left are Shayera, Zatanna, Elongated Man, the Crimson Avenger, and Kage who were all getting ready to watch a movie with Naruto out of the theater room to get some more drinks.

"Nrocpop (Popcorn)!" Zatanna materialized a large bag of popcorn as Elongated Man reached across the room for the drinks.

"I can't believe the rest of the League is on a mission in another universe, and I'm stuck here watching TV." Hawkgirl said crossing her arms under her bust.

"Someone's got to guard the Watchtower, Hawkgirl." Elongated man said bringing the drinks over.

"'When Barry met Rachel'? Who picked this?" Hawkgirl asked.

"I did. I like romantic comedies." Crimson answered, getting Hawkgirl to sigh.

"Can't we watch an action movie?"

"But our real lives are already an action movie." Zatanna said taking a handful of popcorn in her mouth.

"Yeah, movie night is supposed to be a relaxing change of pace." Crimson said

BANG!

The four turned as they heard something crash.

"You were saying?" Hawkgirl asked.

On the other side, the Joker and Harley got out of the shuttle as the hole they made was closed and the air restored.

"Steel gray. How original."

"Someone needs to hire an interior decorator, STAT!" Harley said as the Joker threw his arms out.

"That's it, Harl! We'll fix this place up all nice for Batsy! So when we off him the last thing he sees won't be so boring. Who knows how long these space missions takes. So no dilly-dallying." Joker said walking with a can of acid as Harley fell out of the shuttle with a large duffel bag.

"I'll go this way and you go that way. We'll meet back here in the middle. Toodles!"

Joker walked around as he sprayed holes in the walls. "I just love the Swiss cheese look!" He said before noticing Zatanna. "Eh?"

"Show's over, Joker."

"I didn't hire any magicians for this anniversary party! Sorry, but we're filled up on the entertainment." Joker said blowing a bubble from gum.

"Evlossi-!"

She stopped as Joker popped the bubble over her mouth, revealing itself to be adhesive gum meant to seal her mouth.

"So easy." Joker said before being punched by the magician.

On the other side, Harley was holding her head after hitting it after falling from the shuttle. "My achin' head! I wonder if they got aspirin in this tin can… Oh my gosh!" She yelled as she bumped into the Crimson Avenger.

"Wait a minute… Who are you? Geez, Mr. J wasn't kidding when he said we were stuck in a rut of fighting second-stringers!"

Crimson pulled out a pistol and aimed it at Harley. "I am the Crimson Avenger!"

Harley responded by pulling out a larger and cartoonish looking revolver. "Well, I am Harley Quinn!"

"Miss, are we going to do this the easy way..." Avenger said pulling out a larger pistol. "… Or the hard way?"

"What? Uh..." Harley trailed off looking through her bag. And pulled out a pistol with a boxing glove. "HA! I'll teach you to give me a pop quiz!"

"I don't think so." Crimson Avenger said, pulling out a rifle.

"EEEP!" Harley yelled as she ran away.

Back with the Joker, the clown hid in a room as Zatanna walked past him.

'You'd think those heels would slow her down a little!' He thought as he closed the door and turned around. "What do we have here?" He asked seeing a room full of extra Batman costumes. Including his original ones.

"Best. Anniversary gift. EVER!" Joker aid before putting on one of the original cape and cowls.

"Look at me! I'm a self-righteous jerk!" He yelled out before sighing. "Perfectly good jokes are wasted without an audience. Where's that Harley?" He asked before running down the hall and bumped into Harley.

She screamed as she punched Joker.

"If I get punched in the face one more time today..." Joker said getting Harley to blink.

"What're you doin' dressed like the enemy, puddin'?" She asked before falling as the Joker pulled his cape out from underneath her feet.

"Do you mind?"

They started arguing as Joker took off the cape and cowl, missing Hawkgirl fly down beside them.

"EEEEEEEEEEE!" They screamed dodging her mace before running as Harley threw a can of snakes at the winged heroine.

Only for Hawkgirl to throw one back to pin Harley before hissing as acid hit the back of her right wing.

"Smile for the birdy!" Joker yelled getting Hawkgirl to growl and fly to him. Only for Joker to jump out of the way, having her go into a holding cell and Joker broke the keypad, locking it.

Kage ran it just in time to see a miffed Hawkgirl leaning against the wall as Zatanna walked in. Crimson Avenger also walked in, rubber chickens clogging his guns, and Elongated Man walked in behind him.

Naruto smiled as he walked up to Hawkgirl.

"Not. One. Word."

"I'm not saying anything." Naruto replied letting her out.

"Beaten by a clown. This is so humiliating."

"He is Batman's number one rogue." Crimson Avenger said while pulling a little of the gum off of Zatanna.

"Evlossid (Dissolve)!"

"They don't have any powers!" Hawkgirl said, hands on her hip.

"Or magic!" Zatanna followed after her.

"And they're using rubber chicken as weapons." Crimson Avenger said, pulling said object out of his guns.

"And that's the problem. You're underestimating them because they have no powers." Naruto replied as he walked over to the group.

On the other side of the tower, Joker stood on top of a large pie.

"Harl, this pie isn't cooked all the way through!"

"Hey, you try figuring out how long it takes to cook a giant 374-pound mouse trap pie!"

"Killing Batman by salmonella poisoning wasn't really what I had in mind!"

"Ha! A lot you know. I didn't use eggs!" Harley said with a laugh.

"No eggs? What kind of pie is this?!"

"It's your just desserts!" Zatanna said appearing in a cloud of smoke.

"Look. Why don't you leave the puns to the professionals?" Joker said before reaching Inside his coat as Harley reached inside her bag.

"Stekcop Ytpme (Empty Pockets)!"

"What the-!" Joker yelled before running the other way. "Tell Batman I'm going to have to take a rain check on our anniversary!"

"You can't leave without your co-pilot!" Harley said running around the large pie.

"Sorry, Harl! Blame technology! It's all automated these days!" Joker yelled back as the Crimson Avenger used a pistol to shoot water just in front of the two clown criminals, having them slide to Hawkgirl.

She carried them towards the pie and dropped them as Naruto quickly tied them up.

Later, the rest of the League was walking in as Zatanna and the Crimson Avenger stopped in front of Batman.

"Batman!" Zatanna said with a smile.

"You never told us that it was your anniversary!" Avenger picked up after the magician.

"Hope you like your gift!" Hawkgirl said as the two moved out of the way to show the tied up criminals to a surprised Batman.

Metropolis, A Week Later.

An African-American woman in a beige business dress stood in front of a cameraman as she reported in front of a building that had a large billboard featuring the Metropolis based superheroes.

It had Superman, Kage, Supergirl, Snake, Mist, and Tea in her leotard but with blue gloves, boots, and a long red cape tied to her left shoulder. (1.)

Along with the name, 'Power Girl', underneath her.

"Tape is rolling, Angela. Anytime you're ready." The camera man said.

"Thanks Mike. Some call them our heroes. But a small minority say their presence attracts unearthly elements to Metropolis… We're asking random people on the street: Do you feel safer with the Justice League around?" Angela aid before turning to see a blonde haired man with a beard.

"Sir, do you feel sa-!"

"NO! Get that camera out of my face!" The man said with a scared look before running off, both missing a van stop by them across the street.

Inside, a man wearing a combat vest and a black long sleeved shirt and jeans was leaning on the steering wheel.

'My tipster said he works in that building. I suppose I could take the time to locate him in there… But that might give him time to get away again. Plus my employer always likes having things done in a big way… Sends the proper message to another who attempts to cross them…!' The man thought as outside the other man ran off.

He walked to the back and opened the door to reveal a bulky robot that stepped out

"If I see that on the news, I'll sue you! I can't be on TV!" The blonde haired man aid running off.

"Boy! Whatever happened to 'Everybody wants to be a star'? I came all the way out here to get a story!" Angela said as Mike looked to his right.

"You're about to! Look!" He pointed to see the robot blowing up the building beside the one they're standing in front of.

"Quick! Call the station and tell them to put us on live!"

"You do it! I'm working the camera! If I don't get an Emmy for this, I'm going back to fixing electronics!" Mike yelled as Kage drove up on his Tomahawk with Power Girl flying above.

"Why the hell is it always robots?!" Naruto asked jumping on the seat and jumped off, shooting an explosive arrow at the robot having a hole appear on its chest, allowing Power Girl to fly through and break its power core.

"Thanks Kage, Power Girl. Have you heard of a man named LaRoque? We have reports he was sighted in the area." A cop said to the duo.

"We've heard of him. We'll see if we can turn anything up." Naruto replied walking to his bike. 'That explains everything. LaRoque's one of Intergang's best high-tech assassins. That weapons droid was just his speed. He's done at least six jobs for them. Let's make sure he doesn't get to seven.' Naruto thought speeding towards the Daily Planet.

Daily Planet.

"What prompted this attack is uncertain at this time. This is Angela Chen reporting live."

A middle-aged Caucasian man wearing a dress shirt, black tie, and a dress vest was watching the news with Lois Lane.

"Why so glum, Perry? Angela was at the scene with our cameras..."

"Yes… Our TV cameras. I'm sorry, Lois. I'm just sick of seeing the Planet play 'Second Team' to our TV coverage. The newspaper used to be the foundation of this company. Now it's just a division of the Corporation... The un-glamorous division. I used to love working on a newspaper… Yelling out, 'Tear out the front page! Hold the Bulldog for a re-plate!'"

"Sometimes when I had a good story, I'd go down and watch them set the typewriters… Rushing the story out to the public… This was back when they didn't know about it from TV coverage… Or even the radio, or the internet. We've become everyone's last source of information." Perry explained sitting at his desk as Jimmy walked in.

"Hey, newspapers have their advantages. There are some things newspapers can do that television can't."

"See? Olsen knows." Perry said as Jimmy smiled.

"Sure. Just try and line a birdcage with a TV newscast." Jimmy said having Lois pull him out. "And er, just try and wrap a fish in the six o'clock news-!"

"I think it'd be a good idea if you were somewhere else, Jimmy." Lois said as they left.

'Infuriating. And what's really infuriating is every kid his age thinks that way… They're all children of the television era. They don't know what journalism is all about.' Perry thought while looking out the window.

Later, Naruto, wearing a leather jacket, black shirt, and jeans walked in with Tea, wearing a blue top wrapped around her neck and tight black jeans with sneakers.

They walked around to give her a tour before hearing Perry and Angela arguing.

"What do you mean?! That was a first rate bit of reporting I did out there" Angela yelled.

"That wasn't reporting… Anyone can point a camera and describe what they're seeing! A real reporter finds stories! A real investigator investigates! That's one thing your precious TV cameras can't do… You can't do good investigating reporting with a camera-crew tagging along to get video! A real reporter just needs a notebook! That and a newshound curiosity!"

Perry argued back as Angela looked back at him.

"Yeah… If he's reporting on the Dinosaurs dying out! Face it, Perry. Today, reporters use cameras and computers… And we do just as good a job, if not better!" She said as Perry left the room.

"I'll believe that when you find a story instead of a story finding you!" He said over his shoulder having the female reporter leave in a huff.

"Where does he get off? I find plenty of stories! I'm going to show that man!"

Naruto pulled Tea over to Clark's desk and searched his computer on Intergang and found a former member that testified against them and rumors went around that he and his wife were put into Witness Protection.

'Damn tabloids putting that out there.' Naruto thought before leaving. Missing Angela and Mike bring a picture of the man who ran from them, not wanting to be on camera.

A few hours later, Kage and Power Girl were patrolling the city before a building exploded, having them get everyone out of the building.

After helping put the fire out, Power Girl looked off to her left and grabbed Naruto. "Hey! Whats wrong?"

"Another explosion."

They flew for several miles and saw LaRoque in an armored suit attacking the blonde haired man and his wife who had short blonde hair wearing a blue jacket and a black skirt. Naruto dropped down onto LaRoque and pulled him out of the suit before bringing him up close.

"You're going to call your employer and tell him that Drake Swanson and his wife are dead. Or you will be."

LaRoque nodded before Angela ran up with a notepad. Naruto sighed and told her to say that Drake and his wife disappeared to keep them safe.

Later, Naruto picked up a newspaper about the ordeal before smiling and put it back on the table.

To Be Continued.


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

1. For those that don't know, Karen Starr was technically in this/DCAU continuity. She's in the tie in comics. One reason why it's here and not Galatea is probably because she (Karen Starr.) appeared in a magazine (Batman & Superman Magazine) for The Batman Animated show as Superman's on the cover and it's in the animated for his show/DCAU back in 1993.

She has a wiki page for that universe and it'll be on my profile for easy access if you want to see Galatea's hero outfit.

The FCC just voted 3-2 to repel/get rid of Net Neutrality. The FCC has to go to court now and Congress has the right to overturn the FCC's decision. BUT we need to contact our respective congressmen to overturn the FCC!

Nothing else to say.

Talk To You Later,
