AN:sorry, its in parts, but this is all relevant. R&R!

In a alternate dimension, a young hero was stopping a robbery at Coco City Bank. Despite the fact that he had several guns attached to his utility belt, he was defeating the villains with his militailistic fighting style.

Sharp Shooter needed a constructive way to get his anger out.

Today was a Saturday, so instead of going to the mediocre establishment adults had the nerve to call school, he had gone to report at the Blue Rose Club headquarters before going on his scheduled patrol. When he arrived, he attacked by a frantic teenage boy with the ability to control flames.

"EMMA IS GONE!! THE COUNCIL KIDNAPPED HER AND-" At this point, Sharp Shooter pushed the babbling hero out of the way to ask Ninja Girl what was going on. Rina seemed unconcerned.

"The Council knows she's got great power, but she lacks the skill to use it in a more beneficial manner. They are merely taking her on an intense training trip for 6 months."

"More beneficial manner?! She's saved the world over 20 since she got her powers, and she has organized a very large, very successful superhero organization! What is this really about?" Rina sighed, glancing at Firo who was way more calm and flipping through Emma's DC Comics Encyclopedia. Rina leaned closer to Sharp Shooter.

She whispered, "Emma doesn't know this and neither does Ed. The Council sent her away because…

Sebastian is back."

Just hearing that name made Joseph's stomach churn. He closed his eyes and he could remember Emma's screams and tears as if it were only yesterday instead of almost a year ago. He could remember thinking that Emma was never going to smile again, never get angry when someone claimed Marvel was better the DC, never love again.

"Where did they send her?"

Rina laughed, nervously, and stepped back a step.

"Now, Joe, you can't overreact or anything…"

"Where?"

Always bad a timing, Ed poked his head up from behind the book and exclaimed, "I knew Tim Drake was the one that likes blondes!!"

BREAK

Emma had discovered the one person impervious to her charm.

"Please, please let me go on patrol with you!! PLEASE!"

Blackmail, whining, reverse psychology, and charm had no effect whatsoever on Batman's iron will.

So now it was 11'o clock, Batman and Robin were protecting the city, and a very annoyed fan girl was sitting in the kitchen watching Alfred wash dishes. She offered to help, but he declined.

"If I may, miss, it is late and you have had a long day. Surely you would wish to retire to your room?"

"Well…actually, I was hoping you could help me with something…"

"I shall do my best."

"You see, another hero and I have reached a disagreement. He seems to think that Selina Kyle is Bruce's sole mate, but I maintain that true love will win and Diana of Themyscara will become Diana Wayne." Alfred smiled at little. It pleased him that other clearly saw Batman's love for Wonder Woman.

"How may I be of assistance?"

"If I just so happened to have formed a devious plan to unite the two in love, prove myself right, and guarantee Bruce will stop bringing home women that want to kill him, could I count on you to help me?"

"What did you have in mind?"

BREAK

Gotham was quite. Too quite.

This morning, while Batman was in the watchtower, there was a small breakout at Arkham Asylm. The Mayor had made it clear the last time that happened, that is it happened again, the Asylm would be shut down. As a result, the escape was not reported and Batman had only just heard the news.

But, instead of crime sprees and havoc, Gotham was still, almost as if Joker and Scarecrow had left the city.

Maybe they had.

Robin called from Arkam via communicator.

"There's nothing, almost as if someone teleported them out. No leads."

Batman acknowledged that and looked out at the city from a rooftop.

No robberies, muggings, or crimes of any nature for that matter. But still, Bruce felt in his gut that something big was about to happen.

BREAK

"Did you do as I said?"

The man regarded the man speaking to him through a mirror. Normally, his logical mind would never have made the choices he had made today, but revenge was so close, he could almost taste it.

"Yes, Joker and Scarecrow are on board along with the others."

The man in the mirror grinned wickedly, the scar across his left cheek twitching.

"If all goes according to plan, you will have your tools for revenge, as will I, and we will both have the means to immense power. Before two months are over, the league will be just a memory, Luthor, and I, Sebastian Malevolent, will take over another world."
