Beckett looked at her outfit in annoyance. "Really Castle? A bathing suit?"

Castle shrugged, following Beckett down the shining metallic hallway, light bouncing all around them. "come on, Beckett, it's a classic!"

"It's degrading. I am running around in a bathing suit."

"It has armor!" Castle quipped.

"And high heels...I am suppose to fight crime in high heels?" Beckett gestured at the red boots she was wearing. "I am in a bathing suit, high heels and a freaking tiara...how the hell did this outfit become something feminists could march behind?"

Castle did his best to calm her. "Come on...look at the bright side: you are super strong, you can fly, have all these magical weapons..."

"While-in-a-bathing-suit." Beckett rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Seriously, why did I have to be Wonder Woman? Why couldn't I be a Green Lantern...there are hundreds of them."

"Because I get to be Green Lantern...I called dibs," Castle told her, floating up in the air, grinning like a school boy as he admired the green and black uniform that was practically painted onto his body. "Hey, you want to see me recreate the robot from Lost in Space with my ring?"

Beckett rolled her eyes. "I should have known you'd go all fanboy on me." Beckett blinked when she felt the giant green hand gently grab her and bring her up to where Castle was floating, bringing her face to face with him. "I can fly, remember?'

"I know, but now I can do this," Castle said, leaning in close and giving her a tender kiss. Beckett melted under his gentle assault, her arms wrapping around his body. She had heard people talk about kisses making them feel like they were flying, but she could now answer with a straight face that those people were full of it. Flying while kissing was simply the way to go, and there was nothing in the world quite like it.

"Ahem."

The two of them finally broke off their loving assault, looking down to find Cap. Montgomery looking up at them with a slightly bemused expression. The captain looked pretty much the same, save for his green skin, hairless body and muscles that would make most body builders envious.

"It appears we will have much to talk about today during the meeting," he said, his voice slightly monotone but still holding a degree of the humor the two were use to. He merely walked towards a round door, not even bothering to wait for it to open before phasing through it.

"Well...that was different," Castle said. "Ready to face the music?"

"Not really. I guess it would be too much to hope for Lex Luthor to begin attacking Mississippi," Beckett said, descending to the ground, Lasso of Truth held tightly between her finger.

"No such luck," Castle said, taking ahold of her hand and leading her towards the meeting room. "Come on...the first step is always the hardest, Wonder Woman."

Taking a deep breath, the two of them took the plunge, entering the massive room. It was made of the same metallic surface as the hall, but was much wider and was dominated by a massive metal table. Already sitting there was Demming, dressed as Superman, Alexis wearing Black Canary's outfit (and making Castle wonder if he could ground her in this reality), Ryan and Esposito as, of all heroes, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle, Lanie as Vixen (and Beckett was glowering, wishing she had a pair of pants like Lanie did, and not the bathing suit) and Batman (neither of the two could figure out who he was in their original reality).

"R'oy was just saying you had something to tell us?" SuperDemming said.

Castle nodded, glancing at Beckett and giving her a heart warming smile before facing the other heroes. "Kate and I are dating."

It was strange to see Black Canary and Vixen squeel, but that is what they did, running up to Beckett and demanding details, while Booster Ryan muttered that 'it is about time'. Only SuperDemming and Batman looked put out by the news, but Castle could care less about them. He was a freaking Green Lantern and officially dating the woman of his dreams...nothing could get him down.

Beckett looked up at him, only to frown even as he flashing a happy grin. "Uh...Castle?"

"Yeah Beckett?"

"You're black."

"Huh?" Castle looked at the reflective wall, nearly leaping 20 feet in the air. It was him, only an African American him. "What the..."

EspoBeetle shrugged. "Looks like another retcon."

Castle turned to stare at Beckett, only to find she was Chinese now. "What do you mean? What is a retcon?"

"That's when the world changes us," Alexis said, only now she was wearing a costume that was little more than a bra and panty set with a cape. "In order to make us more interesting or diverse."

"Why do I suddenly find Lanie attractive?" Beckett asked.

"They must have made us gay. It happens," Lanie stated, licking her lips and giving Beckett a once over.

Castle frowned as his lantern ring disappeared and instead he found he now had alien shapeshifting powers. "And I suddenly feel evil and want to eat babies."

"Retconed into a villain. Been there," Ryan stated.

"Don't worry, only lasts a few years then they bring you back...or kill you," Martian Montgomery stated.

Beckett shook her head, pulling herself away from a groping Lanie. "Nope, not happening. Come on Castle, we are leaving!"

"WAIT!" Batman called out, squinting at her. "Talia?"

Beckett glanced at Batman, giving him a curt nod. "Beloved."

"Beloved?" Castle asked, annoyed. They were back in the black room and their gray unitards, and thankfully back to their normal selves.

"Don't ask," Beckett said. "Ok, that didn't work. No more going to worlds where they don't respect history."

Castle nodded. "Yeah, we need a world where they respect the past, like Doctor Who but-"

He didn't get to finish, the two of them already fading into a new reality
