Epilogue

Gotham (year 2013)

Three days has passed since the fall of the Regime. The One Earth government has been defeated and members of the group have been rounded up. The government leaders gave thanks to Batman and his Insurgency team for freeing their world of Superman. Even asking for his assistance to help keep order until their governments have been restored.

Aquaman was send back to Atlantis after signing a treaty to never again threaten the surface world and help pay for the damages caused by his involvement in the fight. Diana was stripped of her title as queen of Themyscira and Donna became the new queen. Even taking up the mantel of Wonder Woman. To make up for Diana's sins and restore relationships with the world.

Hal Jordan and Sinestro were taken back to the Oa to answer for their crimes. Kilowog and Arisia offered Aya to come with them, but she declined. Not ready to meet the Guardians who she is sure will have questions for her. They promised not to tell them about her and she promised she will explain everything when she is ready.

Cyborg and Damian are in intensive care after their fight, which left them injured. Damian suffered spinal injuries, which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Cyborg's injuries were near-fatal, but thanks to Rocket he is stabled. The rest of the criminals who were involved in the fighting were all apprehended and are now being detained until trial.

As for Flash, despite joining Batman's side he still needed to pay for his crimes against the world. Flash surrendered to the authorities and accepted his punishment. Knowing he needed to pay for what he did. Batman though feels he will get a lighter sentence if he cooperates.

"Superman's accomplices have been rounded up, or turned themselves in. The next job is restoring civil order," said Batman as he spoke to Jason in a secured facility.

"The transitional government has its hands full. We're here if they need help," said Jason who volunteered his team to continue assisting Batman.

"Thanks, but no. The people need to know they're in control, not us," said Batman who turned down Jason's offer.

"I take it the other Superman and Batman are aware of this?" Jason asked.

"They are. Although, they decided to stay around and help clean up before returning home," said Batman recalling how their counterparts agreed to stay to fix some of the damaged buildings so the people can do the rest. "What have you and your team decided to do though?"

"Kara is still debating about that and until she does my team isn't going anywhere. My mom though is returning home with the others to return the Space Stone," Jason explained.

After Gamora used the Space Stone to help Batman bring in the dimensional Superman and Batman they are able to use the machine to get home. Batman gave the machine to the team feeling it is safer with them than with him. That way the team can go home and see their loved ones. Without having to use the stone again.

"By the way. You haven't changed your mind about what the president told you?" Jason asked.

"I respect the president's offer. But I don't belong in government. None of us do," said Batman as he looks up at the TV monitor where they see Luthor's funeral.

Megan was there with Aya and a few of the other team who wanted to pay their respect to Luthor. Megan walks up to Luthor's tombstone and placed the chest piece of his symbol from his suit.

"And Superman? What's going to happen to him?" Jason asked looking up at the monitor and promised the others he would visit Luthor with Kara once they finish.

"He'll stand trial. They all will,' said Batman knowing the others are already being prosecuted, while Superman the case for him will be set for next week.

"I take it the other Superman knows what happened then?" Jason asked getting a nod from Batman. "I take it the reason you brought the other Batman is so he will be ready in case Superman ever turns?"

Batman didn't respond to that question, but responded anyways. "I always predicted if he ever turned I would be ready to stop him. What I never predicted though is how far it would go for him to turn and for me to stop him. We all made mistakes during this fight, but I hope with this experience we can all learn from our mistakes so history won't repeat itself. For this world and the other."

Jason knew he didn't exactly give him the direct answer, but he did hint that he did anyways. "He was right, you know."

"About what?" Batman asked as he turns to Jason.

"Put in the same position, anyone of us would have done the same thing. We never know what we're truly capable of," said Jason who couldn't deny if he lost his family, friends, or Kara he would have probably crossed that line like Superman did. "Not saying it would be right, but let's just say any of us probably would have done the same thing in his boots."

Batman knew Jason was right, especially how close he came so many times in the past to take a life. He never did, but he knew it could have happened the same way it did for Clark.

"I hope for you and your team's sake, none of you ever find out," said Batman as the two remained silent for a moment before the two begin making their way out of the room. "Just keep this in mind. If something ever happens and either you or Kara or the others lose it? I'm coming for you both."

Jason began laughing despite knowing Batman was being serious. "You'll have to get in line, because I'm sure my mom will be the first to come after me."

As the two began leaving what they were doing was revealed. They were standing in front of a glass window where inside is a large room filled with red light. Inside the room is a glassed cell room, where Superman is seen locked up. The lights are actually revealed to be red sunlight radiation, which causes him to lose all his powers and become weakened.

The glass around him was also designed to keep him anyone from breaking him out. Even Wonder Woman wouldn't be able to smash through the glass and magical powers would prove to be unaffected. Thanks to Zatanna who used her magic to make the glass powerful enough to resist magical powers. The glass was an idea that Arthur recommended when his father told him how he got stuck in one and he was a God.

Superman is seen on the floor leaning against his bed with his head down. He begins lifting his head up with his eyes glowing faintly.

Smallville

Kara stood outside the home of Martha and Jonathan Kent who were inside speaking with the other dimensional Superman. He came to see them to explain what happened to their Superman and how he is locked up. He is safe, but he will be prosecuted for his crimes. They knew he would and accept this knowing their son needs to pay for his crimes.

After defeating her cousin, Kara stayed in the Fortress of Solitude. Speaking with her uncle Jor-El who left his memories inside a simulation program. To speak to him about everything that has happened and how she apologized for everything that happened. He didn't blame her and was just glad that she was able to stop him before he did any more harm.

He promised to help her with anything she needs, including freeing Kal's prisoners that he locked up in the Phantom Zone for trying to stop him. Kara accepted his help and helped free the prisoners. Once that was done she went with Superman to see the Kents. Speak with them and how they told her if she needed anything they are here for her.

She sees Superman leaving the house and gives both parents a hug before he walks over to Kara. "Are they okay?"

Superman nods in response. "They'll be okay. You know, despite everything he has done, despite the people he harmed, they still love him," he said as he turns to the house. "They felt that if they raised him better or were there to help him things would have turned out differently."

Kara knew that feeling and approached Superman. "They're not the only ones, but ultimately it was still his choice. He chose to walk down this path and become the very thing he fought against. No matter how much he tried justify and rationalize it in the end he was in the wrong. He chose to be the villain and he needs to pay for it."

Superman smiles at Kara and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm glad to know the choice you made was the right one. I know it must have been difficult to choose to fight him, especially after what you have gone through to come back. Still, I want you to know that I'm proud of you Kara and to know that this world will be safe knowing you are looking out for it. Use your powers well and protect the people no matter what."

Kara smiled happily at cousin before she wrapped her arms around him for a hug. She felt Superman return the hug as she soon felt herself being filled with so much joy. He may not be her actual cousin of this world, but he was still her cousin. She kept hugging him happy to know she is here with him and not fighting him.

Jason arrived with both of the Batmen as he brought the inter-dimensional transporter. Superman said his goodbyes to Kara and even to Jason who he asks to look out for Kara. Jason promised to do so as Batman gives his counterpart the information of this world. So that they can show it to the others and not follow the same path as their counterparts have.

Once they were gone Batman asks Jason to put the machine away into the ship. As Jason did this Batman approached Kara to speak with her.

"Are you all right?"

Kara turns to Batman and smiles softly. "A little. I'm happy that I got to speak with my cousin…even if it wasn't the one from here. But, now that it's over I don't know what to do."

"Jason told me the team is waiting to hear what you have to say," said Batman recalling his talk with Jason. "Said they won't leave until you come to a decision. I guess they are planning to go wherever you go."

Kara knew that was true, especially how close they all are. "I'm still thinking about it. I mean, I want to stay and help people. However, while were doing some of the cleanup I noticed so many were afraid of me. I tried to reassure them I'm not my cousin and I'm here to help. But whenever they see this symbol…" she points to her chest where the S symbol is at.

"This symbol should give people hope. He made them fear it," she lets out a small sigh and looks out into the field.

"That symbol's meaning is up to the person who wears it," said Batman as he steps besides Kara. "When I first met you I wasn't sure if I could trust you since I was worried you would end up joining Superman. However, you proved me wrong. You never gave in, you fought to save the people you love, and you even fought him to protect the people. I know they will be afraid, but in time the people will see that symbol and believe again."

Kara turns to him and smiled softly glad with what Batman said. How he trusts her and believes in her.

"Thank you, Bruce. It also sounds like you want me to stay," said Kara who couldn't help but notice that.

Batman nods in response. "It is up to you and whatever you decide I will respect it. When Clark and I founded the Justice League, we didn't govern people. We protected them. Plain and simple. Maybe…the world could use a team like that again," Batman extends his hand up to Kara. "What do you say?"

Kara looks down at his hand and then back at him feeling honored that he is offering her to stay. "On one condition, my team stays and helps."

"As long as they don't kill," said Batman who didn't appreciate how the team almost killed Cyborg and Damian.

"They won't," said Jason as he came down the ramp of the ship. "And if they do I'll let you deal with them," Jason stood by Kara and wrapped his arm over her shoulder before turning to her. "So, what do you say?"

Kara smiled at Jason before kissing him on the cheek. She then turns to Batman and shook his hand. "We got a lot of work to do."

Batman nods in response knowing the road they are on will be long and hard, but together they will bring hope to the world again. "Welcome to the circle of trust."

Yay! The story is over and things ended happily for everyone. Minus a few members of the Regime. Still, happy endings for all.

Now, as promised here is the information for the sequel. Yes, there will be one and guess what? It's already finished. I got it all done along with this story some time ago. So, when will it be up?

Hmm probably gonna give it a month or two depending on when is a good time to upload it. Still, don't worry it will come out. No and yes it will be based on the Injustice 2 game. That means, yes we will have Brainiac involved, but there will be some changes.

Now, will there be a sequel afterwards? Nope. I want to, but because I want to wait to see what the next game will have. I know that will take time, but if nothing happens I might make a sequel without it.

However, I might make a prequel. To show how the team all got together. It's still in working progress and need to finish up some chapters for my other stories to see what happens. So, again for now guys please be patient.

I want to thank my friend theXman99 for his help on the story and to all of you guys for the support. I appreciate it a lot and glad the story turned out to be a success. The sequel I will try getting it out if I get more than five reviews for this chapter. If I do I will get it out in two weeks.

That's the best I can do. If you all like the chapter then please leave some reviews. If you didn't like this then don't leave a flame review please. I'll see you guys next time, take care, and be safe.
