Author's notes: It was a shot in the dark, but I got it right. Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is going to be daughter Zeus in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, just like I had Amanda Waller say she is in chapter 8. And a whole movie list until 2020. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

There are Hereafter-references in this chapter. As Jeremy Irons, our Alfred, said in Lion King: Be prepared!

Earth-3: Part 1

''No brooms, no apparating, this is the most exercise I have had so far.''

''I'm starting to feel tired too.''

After having woken up in the ruins of what seemed like Cardiff, Harry and Superman had been mostly walking their way towards London. Without magic and with a red sun, Superman was getting weaker so the less he used his powers, the lower they were shutting down. Harry, who had also pretty much worked most of his life with magic, had it tough too. In the heat of the red sun, Harry had taken of his suit's jacket and tied his tie to his head as a sweat band and Superman had tied his cape around his waist to keep its weight pulling him back in the hot wind.

''What do you suppose we should do?'' Harry asked Superman. ''You know, once we get to London?''

''Find some kind of shelter?'' Superman suggested. ''The Grimmauld Place? You suppose we could go there?''

''Your suggestion is as good as mine,'' Harry said brushing sweat of his hair. ''Yeah, let's try that place.''

London was in similar state as Cardiff had been. Building were in ruins, abandoned cars were left at the streets and remains of dead people were laying here and there. It was a haunting sight especially with the red sun lighting the ruins and cadavers. Harry and Superman kept on walking through the ruins looking for their shelter until they got to the houses they had once know as the headquarters of the Order of Phoenix. It had had it's fair share of destruction, which allowed them to get in and take shelter.

''What do you suppose this place is?'' Harry asked as they got into the entrance hallway and walked to the living room. ''Or what the hell even happened here?''

''I have one idea,'' Superman said sitting on the sofa and showed something he had picked up, ''mainly because this place has these thing here and there.''

''What is that?'' Harry asked looking at the metal skull looking thing.

''It's a Cyber-Manhunter's head,'' Superman said giving it to Harry, ''something the League encountered in different parallel universes when Batman was taken.''

''Where you got the not-Crouch?'' Harry asked.

Superman nodded before continuing.

''We only stepped in to this world, if this is that world, once. And my powers worked for that little while, however I'm not sure if that was because we left less than an hour after coming there. Or here.''

''If this is a parallel world and you used to travel between them, how did you do it?'' Harry asked.

''Through the Rift in Cardiff, by opening a Boom Tube,'' Superman answered. ''But we don't have Cyborg to open one for us here.''

''Brilliant,'' Harry said rubbing his eyes. ''Well, let's just rest for now and think about our next move later.''

Tired and exhausted from their long walk from Cardiff to London, Harry and Superman took it to rest in the living room until nightfall. Superman did have some extent of his powers left, and in the dark of the night they wouldn't drop as fast as in red sunlight when used. Eventually Harry did wake up first and got up to look at the dark ruins of London outside. What in Merlin's name would they do next to get anywhere forward in this place?

Without magic, Harry didn't even remember how to do anything to get through and really wished that Hogwarts would have had classes for how to manage if you lose your wand. No wait, there was, Muggle Studies and no one for some reason had decided to take those courses. Except Hermione had in third year and she had dropped out during the same term. Harry turned back to Superman, who had also woken up.

''So,'' Superman said getting up and looking around, ''What do we do now?''

''I don't know,'' Harry said shaking his head. ''You suppose there are people out there somewhere?''

''Doubt it,'' Superman said rubbing his eyes. ''Or, there could be. When I came here, providing this is the same world, I tried finding survivors without success. My powers were going down then, so there is a chance I might not have heard possible survivors.''

''This place exists, that means the Black Family existed, so maybe,'' Harry said thinking, ''maybe Weasleys, Malfoys or Longbottoms existed here too.''

''Or Ministry,'' Superman suggested. ''If Ministry of Magic existed here too, we could go see if there are records.''

''That would be a start,'' Harry said heading towards the stairs. ''I'll see if there are clothes here. We'll change and then head to the Ministry. Or whatever is left of it.''

From the ruins of Grimmauld Place, Harry found some clothes for himself and for Superman to change in what looked like Clark Kent. Auror's suit and tie weren't the most suitable attire for these surroundings and the Superman-costume's cape would have probably caught itself to something sharp due to it's size. The cape would have also been on the way, neither did the suit have any pockets. Both had gotten themselves some cargo pants and jackets. Finding these clothes from this place gave both Harry and Clark the idea that everyone had been living either in a war or a hostile environment. More evidence to support was survival kits left in the cellar. Having made torches to get light in the dark ruins, Harry and Clark set their course to what they hoped was the Ministry of Magic.

''So that not-Crouch,'' Harry asked Clark, trying to relieve the tension brought by the dark surroundings, ''he was from this world?''

''Yes and no,'' Clark said looking at the surrounding areas with spared amount of his vision powers. ''He was a clone of some guy from another world, left to live his live here with a woman.''

''There is always a woman,'' Harry said grinning a little. ''How are you and that- what was that woman's name that you called your shadow?''

''Her name is Lois, and pretty good,'' Clark responded. ''Ginny was Ron's sister, right?''

''Um, yes,'' Harry said.

''American high school drama in a British wizard school,'' Clark chucled thinking about the plot details. ''The main character has a best friend and a girl best friend and the best friend has a sister. Best friend and the girl best friend get together leaving the main character to set his sights on best friend's sister.''

''That is a high school drama?'' Harry asked wondering if blushing was an option.

''That's basically every high school drama on television from 80s to 90s,'' Clark said. ''When I was growing up and wanted a distraction from not understanding my powers, I usually watched TV with my friends. Pete and I were more for sports and Twin Peaks, but in Lana's case-''

Clark cut his sentence as they ran out of land to walk on. They had now arrived to huge crater on the ground that was exposing the chasm of the Ministry of Magic underground. It was difficult to say had it been exploded open or ripped open.

''Let's see,'' Clark said dropping his torch to the crater to show how much damage there had been. ''Wow, that looks bad.''

''It's obvious there was a war here,'' Harry said looking what was his workplace back home. ''Looks like my side lost.''

''Our side,'' Clark said taking a hold of Harry and jumped to the crater, starting to float down. ''You know the layout better, which way do we go?''

''It's this-'' but then Harry was silenced.

Where there usually was a huge sign with the Ministry's logo, there was another name on it's place.

''Torchwood?'' Harry said confused.

''We ran into an organization by that name in that other world,'' Clark said looking at the sign. ''Hostile takeover?''

''Or a merger,'' Harry said pointing at the direction of the records room. ''Once I see those records, I'll know for sure.''

''Providing that there are any in paper form,'' Clark said floating down. ''What's that?''

''What?''

''That,'' Clark said pointing at a large carved tag on the walls of the chasm, that seemed to have been made so that it could only be seen from lower perspective. ''Whatever it was that hit here, it left a message.''

Harry and Clark descended to lower levels and the lower they got the clearer the message got and at the bottom they saw the message: SYNDICATE RULES!

''Syndicate rules?'' Harry read from the carving.

''That is as old as all the destruction, this was all organized,'' Clark deduced scanning the formations. ''All this destruction was caused by organized hits.''

''Lead by series of events,'' Harry said. ''But what events?''

After finally finding the records room, Harry and Clark begun to look for hard copies of any records stored there. The whole establishment, besides looking runned down, had a very high tech outlook, so they counted themselves lucky when they found folders laying in a corner.

''1998, the Prime Minister brought in forward a group of people who had harnessed the ability to control what the scientists refeered as a new from of radiation,'' Clark read from the records they had managed to find. ''These people, labeled as magical community, had been hiding since the times of witch hunting and had now decided to step forward because of common enemy.''

''Voldemort?'' Harry guessed. ''We lost to him at Hogwarts in this world.''

''No, this is about someone they call Ultraman,'' Clark said showing Harry. ''This Ultraman had been assumed to have been an ally for the magical community, but had turned against them due to some trust issues. Ultraman kept quiet and underground for years, during which the magical community and their experties were merged with the Torchwood Institute in order to pool their efforts for Ultraman's return. Hermione Granger-''

''Hermione?'' Harry said surprised.

''Yes, existed here too,'' Clark said, ''She was one of the first liaisons to work between the Ministry and Torchwood, and according to this local technology advanced in escalating when magic was used in it's engineering. That much that cell phone were replaced by ear-pods by 2004.''

''But that caused a Cyberman uprising in 2007 that lasted all to 2012,'' Harry said reading the records too. ''It caused the human population to drop by five million people and that is what gave Ultraman the perfect window to strike back and he didn't come alone. He had allies.''

''The Crime Syndicate,'' Clark read troubled to accept what he was reading. ''This world's evil Justice League. This Ultraman… it was me. I became a monster here.''

''This doesn't have all the information about this Ultraman, but this Crime Syndicate,'' Harry said taking the folder and read it as Clark stepped aside to process. ''Court of Owls also existed here as a sub-organization and they were lead by someone called Owlman, Witch Annataz and the Outsider.''

Then Harry remembered something.

''Outsider, that's what those Talons called that old man who was at Rift. Clark, that's what they were doing. Crime Syndicate destroyed this world in a war and then wanted to move to another, our world. That is what those skulls were for, helping them cross over.''

''Then we need to cross back,'' Clark said determined. ''What happened to this world must never happen to our home. Our friends are probably fighting the Crime Syndicate right now. Who else is with them?''

''Amazon called Superwoman, modern day Bonnie and Clyde called Atomica and Johnny Quick,'' Harry said showing the file to Clark, ''and probably more. Most of these files either stop or have been destroyed.''

''Great,'' Clark said shaking his head. ''If there is nothing more about the Crime Syndicate, let's try finding references to inter-dimensional traveling. The Doctor did come here few times without using the Rift. If that was possible, we should be-''

TZARAACKH!

Some kind of a beam hit Clark from shadows that cut his sentence and knocked him out. Without thinking and on instinct, Harry drew his wand out and, when he remembered his wand didn't work while casting a spell, casted Protego between Clark and the direction where he had been shot from.

''Hang on, if this works,'' Harry thought upholding the magical shield while beaming to Clark, ''apparating should work too.''

Harry grabbed Clark and, to his surprise, apparated them out from the Ministry's ruins. His joy of success was however short sighted as they had apparated to an ambush outside.

''Malfoy?'' Harry managed to identify one of the persons jumping on them, before being hit unconscious as well.

''Didn't think he would be stupid enough to come back,'' Draco said walking to the captured people. ''Ultraman wasn't this stupid.''

''It looks like Ultraman but this symbol is different,'' Neville said pointing at the man's chest revealed from the burnt jacket. ''This is S-symbol like your Slytherin's, not Ultraman's U.''

''It could be a disguise,'' Alexander said climbing out from the crater. ''So he wouldn't look like who he is.''

''So who is this other one?'' Draco said kneeling down to the other man and recognized the lightning bolt shaped scar. ''Potter?''

''Can't be, Harry has been dead for years now,'' Seamus said looking at the scar too. ''Ultraman killed both him and Voldemort when he destroyed Hogwarts.''

''Bring them with us,'' Alexander said pointing at the two men. ''If that is Ultraman, we need to put him so we can control him.''

Author's notes: Huh, this became shorter than I expected. Well, I had only two characters to write with and everything was pretty calm. Next part of Earth-3 should have more people and so a longer one.

I did not buy Destiny, but for exposition those people were wearing similar clothing as in that game. Or from Fallout.

Next chapter will be back on Prime-Earth with Hermione, Batman and Lex Luthor.

Replies to reviews:

tiger 5: What am I going to do with Hermione magicless situation? I'm still thinking about it, thought I have had a few ideas.

Miss Singing in the Rain: I would never do that. Victor is just out of the game for a while.

Hugo is more like Ron being a slow thinker and fast doer. Rose is probably something more of Hermione. Those were the first things seen of their personalities, but Hugo has some properties of his mother and Rose of her father. They are also friends with a young renegade called Billy Batson, who is in Gryffindor due to having the courage of Achilles.

Hate is such a strong word. Jason and Bruce are not in a good terms, because reasons, but having trained and raised four Robins and one Batgirl, Bruce cares for all of them as a father. As long as Jason doesn't kill anyone.

Ultraman is truly evil. He is the alpha male and everyone else are weak underlings. That's all he care's for and the reason he keeps Owlman around is to have someone do all the ''heavy thinking''. But you can expect Owlman to be smarter than that.

Guest: There was Malfoy, Neville, Seamus and someone called Alexander. Who do you think that is?

Wonderbee31: I call him Shazam, because I'm pulling plot elements fro New 52. If this were a Young Justice or some other pre-Flashpoint crossover, Billy would be called Captain Marvel. But he will be fighting Ultraman in the next chapter. And how did Earth-3 look from the first look?
