A/N: I wish I owned Power Ranger and Batman but I do not.

(California desert)

Kim appeared outside a building that stood alone in the middle of nowhere. One that matched the color of the desert so well that if one did not know it was there they would simply dismiss it. She approached the door which scanned her and then opened obediently, "A power coin is a power coin no matter what dimension," she thought to herself as she made her way inside. As she walked through the dark halls she noticed the layout was the same to the Command Center that she knew as a child, but the technology was radically more advanced. Slowly she emerged into the control room and saw a robot working the console. It was about five feet tall, lean with a humanoid sized head and the visor was in the shape of a "V". She noticed the familiar lightning bolt on the right side of its chest and "A.L.P.H.A." on the left. It looked up and saw her. She stepped out with her arms up as it pointed a blaster in her direction, "How did you get in here?" it asked in a stern, but not unfriendly voice.

Kim looked at the robot, "The door let me in," she responded to its query. The robot considered what she said, "You're lying. The doors will only open for the bearer of a power coin." Kim stared at the bot in disbelief before hearing, "Perhaps we should let her explain," came words in a familiar voice. An older man with no hair and flowing robe appeared in the middle of the room. Despite the fact that he had a body Kim knew exactly who he was, "Zordon!" she cried out as her eyes filled with tears. Ignoring the robot she bolted to embrace the man, but tripped as she went right through him. "How do you know me child?" he asked as she pulled herself up from the floor. Deep down she knew that this wasn't the person that she remembered, but she couldn't help herself, "You were practically my father." Kim looked at his perplexed face, "Where I'm from." A look of realization appeared on his face, "You come from a different dimension then."

"That still doesn't explain how she got in here," Alpha said as he put the blaster back in its compartment, "Nobody is allowed entry without a power coin." Kim held out her coin. "I don't believe it," Zordon said, "How did you get that?" Kim swallowed hard, "On my world when Rita Repulsa escaped you recruited us as teenagers to stop her. The battles were long and hard, but with a spirit of teamwork and your guidance we succeeded and faced even greater challenges." Alpha looked at her coin, "What happened to it?" Kim looked and the cracked and scorched coin, "There was a battle against an enemy superior to us. He beat us, destroyed our zords and powers. We then found Ninjor and used other powers to beat him." Alpha plucked the coin from her hand and slid it into a slot, "You haven't tried to use it have you?" Kim felt her cheeks heat up, "Only once since it was damaged… it didn't go well." Zordon shook his head as he looked at the results, "The use of a coin this damaged could be lethal." Kim watched the low fluctuating power readings, "I found that out."

The quiet room was assaulted as alarms started going off, "I remember that sound," Kim said as she walked over to the console. As Alpha pulled up the readings Kim recognized them, "Scorpina," she said as a familiar image appeared on screen. "That's not possible," Alpha said, "She's still frozen with Rita in the prison." Zordon looked at the screen, "That can only mean one thing." Kim perked up, "She's from another dimension."

"She's heading for Gotham," Alpha stated with an edge of panic in his voice, "What about Batman?" Kim stood up, "He's smart and strong, but not a match for Scorpina. I'll face her." Zordon stepped in front of her, "I cannot allow this; you don't have any protection." Kim looked at the old man in holographic form, "I will not let something from my world harm this one."

Scorpina looked around her dull surroundings, "Great… Earth," she said with a hint of disgust. She stepped out onto the streets of Gotham, "At least I'll be hard to find here," she said to herself as she ducked back into an alley. "Not as hard as you think," spoke a gruff voice from the darkness behind her. Turning around she came into contact with a man in a bat costume, "humph," she said as she launched into an attack. After a moment she had Batman on the ground with her boot on his neck, "You put up a fight," she said, "But not enough." Scorpina heard a pop and was momentarily blinded by a flash. By the time she got her bearings Batman was already on his feet. "Tricky little mouse," She said as a whip shot out of her armor and wrapped around the dark knight. She whipped out a boomerang shaped sword, "Enough games," she seethed.

As she was about to deliver the killer blow an arrow came out of nowhere and shot the sword out of her hand. "Do you really have to follow me everywhere?" a new voice asked. Scorpina's blood ran cold as she looked up, "YOU!" Batman couldn't help but look up and to his surprise a Power Ranger stared back. He could tell by the way she stood that it was Kim, but gone was the white and pink spandex looking material. This outfit was a dark gray and tactical looking with pink highlights and armor plates. The only white left was a singular diamond on the chest plat that contained a gold coin. Her helmet looked similar, but had a vented front instead of a cast mouth and the head of the pterodactyl on her helmet was raised with a crest that extended off the gray surface. In her hand was a vicious looking bow that appeared to be a bladed staff as well as bow and arrow. This was a ranger that fit in his city.

Scorpina smiled, "I'm not dealing with you today," she said as she slipped a knife through the plates in Batman's armor. "It's poisoned," she said with a smirk, "Me or him pinky!" She dropped Batman and ran down the street, "Crap," Kim muttered. Using her thunder whip she grappled her way down as Batman began to slump to the ground. "I told you not to use it," he said weakly. "I didn't," Kim responded. Batman pressed a button on his belt and a moment later monstrous looking vehicle pulled up beside them. It was long and black with wing shaped fins and a growling engine that terrified her at first. The roof slid open revealing a pair of seats. Carefully she got Batman into the passenger seat and hopped in the driver's seat, "Wow," she said as she looked at all the controls, "And I thought a thirty story tall robot was complicated to pilot." Batman pushed a button and looked at her weakly, "Home," he mutters. The roof slid closed and the engine roared to life. Before the pink ranger knew what was going on the car was speeding down the street.

After a few minutes she noticed that they were heading out of town. She pressed the brake, but nothing happened. It looked like she was along for the ride whether she wanted to be or not. Soon the car rumbled down a side road towards a cliff face. Suddenly the cliff face arched down revealing a ramp into the hillside followed by pitch blackness. The car stopped on a turntable and shut off. Once the roof slid open and Kim jumped out only to startle Batman's butler. "My word," he said in his thick British accent. Kim immediately jumped over to Batman, "He's been poisoned," she said. Without another word Alfred jumped in and helped the Power Ranger load Batman onto a medical bed. "If you'll excuse me madam, I must tend to him." With that he shut the door.

Scorpina sat on a crate in an alley, "What kind of world is this?" she asked herself. In the short time she had been here she had seen a costumed vigilante, and an upgraded pink ranger, "It's gone mad." She turned her head as she heard a giggle come from further down the alley. "Who's there!" she demanded, "I am the great and feared Scorpina!" After a moment another giggle, "Hear that Red? She's scary." Without thinking she thrust out her scorpion whip and when she yanked it back she found it attached to a woman dressed as a jester, "What the?" Slowly a woman with a green tinge to her skin and dressed in leaves stepped out from the shadow, "Just like you Harl, laugh first land on your head next." Scorpina felt her lip curl up, "What kind of place is this?" The green one smiled, "Welcome to Gotham."

Kim sat holding her helmet in her hands. She had removed it after the butler had shut the door on her. She shifted in the new armor trying to get used to its unfamiliar feeling. With everything going on she hadn't bothered to demorph. After a few moments the door to the medical room opened and Alfred stepped out, "He will see you now Miss Hart." Kim nodded as she made her way through the door. Still in morph she simply tucked the helmet under her arm. As she entered the small room she noticed the cape and cowl at the foot of the bed, but the owner was obfuscated in shadow. "You saved my life," he said, "How did you stabilize your coin?"

Kim looked down at her morpher and suit really for the first time. It was powerful, that much she knew, but it just felt different, "I didn't," she replied, "I got a new one." Batman sat up showing a smaller mask hiding his identity, "How?" Kim looked at the masked man, "The being that gave me my powers exists here. He just never created the Power Rangers because they were never needed."

Batman looked at her, "And now they are?" Kim nodded, "Scorpina. She's a powerful assassin from my universe, so it was decided that I would take the power coin until her capture or destruction." Batman nodded as he reached for his cowl, "Well then, there's no time to lose." Kim looked at him incredulously, "You were dying an hour ago!" Batman looked at her with a cold stare, "And now I'm not, and there's work to do." Without another word he stalked off towards the Batmobile and with a sigh Kim put her helmet back on. Without another word between them they climbed into the monstrous car and left the cave.

Scorpina sighed as she looked around the lobby of the abandoned hotel where Ivy and Quinn had hunkered down. These were definitely less then desirable accommodations. She shook her head watching the two of them argue like an old married couple over whether to knock over a bank or department store. Finally she had enough of their bickering, "How bout we just cause chaos and see what happens?" The two women looked at her as if she had grown a second head, "And people say I'm nutso," Harley stated. Ivy shook her head, "Forgive my friend here. What she meant to say was without a plan Batman and his team of brats will pick us off before we get two blocks down Main Street. Scorpina considered what they said, "Is Batman the big guy in the black suit and cape?" When the other women nodded she smirked, "I can beat him. He already took a dose of my poison, and would be dead already if not for her." Harley and Ivy looked at their new friend quizzically, "Her?" Ivy asked. "The Pink Ranger," Scorpina spat out, "I have no idea how she got here or how she upgraded her powers, but it was her. The voice gave it away."

Harley chose that moment to step forward, "Then if this ranger chick has teamed up with Bat-breath that means…" Ivy nodded, "We'll need a plan."
