A/N: I will probably get some continuity stuff wrong, tell me about.

Justice League: War zone

Ch.2- Not in Kansas anymore

(Where am I, this is getting way to weird for me, Gotham City, what the hell…)

Castle walks down the sidewalk of a metropolis, looks like some run of the mill neighborhood easily found in any big city, looked like New York, Boston, Chicago, and…apparently Gotham.

(I need some information, I need to find out where I am…This will work)

Castle finds a phone booth, steps in and reaches for the phone book, flipping through the yellow pages, finally stops at L.

(Here we go Gotham City Library, main branch, should have the information I need, just hope I don't have to sign up for a library card, now lets see, across the street from the "Wayne Botanical Garden", great about sixty blocks of walking, but its not close to any law enforcement, wow alotta shit named after Wayne )

With that castle rips a city map out of the phone book steps out of the phone booth and begins his Hike to the library.

(Man, this place seems a lot like New York, down to the smell and run down look, but with some cosmetic make over, trying to hide the rot of the city, the deep down decay that marks every major metropolis, I can sense the scum in this city, I know that they are just lurking in the dawn, hiding until the…what the hell is that)

Suddenly the sound of a vehicle accelerating over a hill with police sirens close behind interrupted Castle's quiet walk. The source of the commotion revealed itself in the form of purple '50s style convertible, in that vehicle were four people. One in the driver's seat was a woman in a court jester's outfit, the passenger seat was filled by a man with white makeup and a purple tux, and he was throwing dolls; that must have been filled with grenades since they exploded with ground contact. In the back were a couple of guys in old jackets, shooting at the approaching cops with AK's.

(What the Fuck, that has got to be the gayest car I have ever seen, shit, innocent people will get hurt with that jackass rolling around like that, I'm gonna have to take him out, and all I got is a .45 and three magazines, fuck this is gonna suck; why am I so calm, this is way to weird)

Castle begins to move toward the street about to draw his weapon when something hits the driver causing it to crash into a fire hydrant, and soon after someone in a black cape swoops down and starts beating the crap out of everyone, knocking them unconscious. The cops show up and begin to detain the four.

(Those are some incompetent criminals, whatever less for me to deal with, I am going to just get to that library and find out what the hell is going on, this is getting way to weird for me, and I am taking this way to well)

Gotham Library: Main Branch

(Here at last, now I can get some details on my situation and figure this all out, I am taking this way to well)

Castle goes up the steps into the library and walks back to the computer lab, and looks for an open computer, finding one in a back corner and sets about his work.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Six and a half hours later Castle leans back in his chair and stares at the screen blankly.

(Holy fucking shit, I am in a completely different reality, is this shit possible, I mean…what the fuck. I am taking this way to well. No New York City, no Ultimates, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, or mutants, granted a shit ton of "metahumans" but still, holy shit I am in a different reality, the "Justice League" seems to protect the planet from all sorts of crazy shit, fought a war with a rogue section of government, aliens, super criminals, and extra-dimensional creatures. It would also appear that I'm not the first one to pop in from the space-time continuum; we got Booster Gold, Dr. Fate, and other weird ass people. But the scum still prosper and the innocent are still suffering. That jackass in the purple tux and his crew have caused enough problems, and they keep getting back on the streets, scum like that gotta die. I am taking this shit way to well, even if shit like this has happened before doesn't mean I should be taking this so well. Only one more thing left to search.)

Castle began to type in the words: Castle family, Park, mob.

Castle began reading the articles that popped up, ad he froze when he got to a particular sentence.

"…Entire family slain in gangland shooting at a Metropolis Park, Frank Castle, 26, Maria Castle, 25, Frank Jr., 7, and Lisa Castle 5…"

(Even here they died…even in another fucking reality they died)

Castle throws the keyboard against the wall, in a brief, but intense moment of sorrow and anger. The rage subsides as Castle picks up the keyboard and calmly sits back down, ignoring the gawking stares of the people in the library.

(Seems that I died here as well, at least I died with my family in this reality, this castle was spared the pain. But it's the scum here that will soon feel the pain, there is still a war to fight, still scum to die.)

Next: Different universe, same war.
