Dang, this story got favorites and follows fast... Since I'd already been debating how soon to post chapter two, here you go folks! And thanks for reading!

"Would you stop shooting long enough to just listen to us?!" Green Arrow yelled at the yellow blur that continued to race around him and Black Canary, keeping them away from the young man with a broken bow who crouched by the base of a rubble pile. "We aren't trying to hurt you!"

"Yeah, right!" A pair of voices called back, neither the blur nor the archer believing them. Coming across the pair in the field of rubble, Arrow and Canary had tried to help, thinking they were Artemis and Kid Flash. Once that mistake was remedied, the pair had begun to fight them, launching fists and an explosive arrow before GA had managed to lash out and break the bow in the teen's hands. Now they were in a stalemate, but the Leaguers knew the noise would attract more attention pretty quickly.

Suddenly, a red streak raced past, knocking the yellow one off course. The teen with long red hair yelped as she tumbled across the rubble to slam into the pile beside her friend.

"Willow!" He cried, reaching out to catch the girl before she could collapse in pain. Flash came to a stop beside his fellow adults with an apologetic look on his face.

"Look, kids, I'm sorry about that, but you need to-"

"Sorry? Creep, you don't know what sorry !" The teen snarled, pulling out a collapsible crossbow from his quiver. Before he could aim and fire, though, the girl in the Kid Flash costume reached out and grabbed it.

"Babe, I don't think that's really a good idea." She muttered, trying to blink her eyes back into focus. "Look."

Following her gaze, the adults also turned to see the rest of the Leaguers approaching - along with a handful of teenagers looking rather worse for wear.

A tall, dark skinned girl with white dreadlocks reached them first, followed closely by Aquaman and the pair of Thanagarians. "Apollo, Kid, stand down. Fighting these heroes is not going to accomplish anything."

"Kinda wish you'd said that before I got slammed, Kaldura." The red haired teen replied, rising unsteadily to her feet. The boy put away his crossbow to help her, still glaring at Flash.

"Maybe you should have thought of it before running into a fight!" Another girl cackled from beside Batman, who was also carrying a teen in his arms.

"Shut up, Robyn. And what's wrong with Zetenni?"

"Got his leg gashed. Should be okay." The smaller teen shrugged, though the motion made her wince slightly. "How are the rest of you guys?"

"Sore!" Another teen in blue and grey combat gear complained. "I got my shield up in time to block the blast, but having a wall fall on me was not fun."

"Look on the bright side, Rocket. At least you don't have to replace your clothes again." The girl wearing the S symbol said as she walked up with a dazed looking Superman. Her eyes moved from the gathering to the pair of martians just landing. "Mar'gann, are you okay?"

"F-fine, Supergirl," The boy with green skin and a mop of red hair replied shakily. "Still a bit, bit fuzzy, but fine."

"I believe this is everyone." J'onn gently broke in.

"Then we can finally get an explanation for what the heck is going on!" Green Arrow crossed his arms and looked pointedly at the trio who stood together. The oldest of them stepped forward the address the group of Leaguers.

"My name is Kaldura'ehm, or Aqualass." She said quietly with a slight dip of her head. "My Team and I were sent to investigate the formerly abandoned Hobdottir Chemical Plant by Batwoman. Our orders were to infiltrate, discover who was using the plant and why, before reporting back to the Justice League members waiting on standby."

"We snuck in just fine, but it took a bit of doing to get to a computer terminal connected to their network." Robyn piped up. "It turned out the nutjobs were combining various compounds with this form of... Solidified energy, would be the only way to describe it. Stuff that they were gathering from the fabric of reality, the wall between worlds. That was our hint that they were trying to figure out how to get across different dimensions."

"We were on our way out when a van arrived, with some specialists who were hired to conduct some of their own experiments." The teen in the Kid Flash uniform put in, adding air quotes to the term specialists.

"A couple just seemed to be regular scientists. And sane, too, because they were nervous about the last one." Supergirl's shoulders tensed up as she spoke.

"It was the Joker," The younger martian, Mar'gann, kept looking at the ground. "He threw a gas pellet at one of the guards, but the smoke billowed out so quickly it revealed me in camouflage mode, and blew our cover."

"It got kind of wild after that. Somewhere in the fight, the main vat of the chemical mixture was hit, probably by one of Rob's disks... Or one of my arrows." Apollo muttered, idly kicking one boot against a piece of concrete. Kid Flash reached out a hand and placed it reassuringly on the archer's shoulder.

"Next thing we know, there's this huge explosion, shock waves shaking everything up." Raising his hands up in the air, Rocket pantomimed the forces that had been at work. "I mean, holding up my shield for me and Kal took more concentration than I've ever needed before, and even with all the energy blasting us, it barely held."

"And then we woke up here, surrounded by you people." The younger Kryptonian's blunt finish was undercut by a groan. All eyes turned to look at Batman, who swiftly but gently deposited the waking Zetenni on the ground. Robyn was by his side in an instant.

"Wha- What happened?" The magician groaned, blearily opening his eyes and glancing around.

"We got blown up and thrown into another dimension where the League's genders have been swapped." The ninja girl answered simply. Zetenni stared at her, then up at Batman, and back at his teammate.

"I think I was better off unconscious."

Paula Crock took the news in silence. That would have worried Green Arrow even more if he didn't know the woman was simply mulling it over in her head. Right after getting the reversed Team back to Mount Justice, the Leaguers who needed to had gone and called parents to explain that their kids were... indisposed, at the moment. Arrow hadn't meant to, but he'd ended up explaining the entire thing to Artemis' mom, finding a bit of relief in just talking about the bizarre situation aloud. He would feel bad about it, except he was certain Flash would be doing the exact same thing to his wife and in-laws.

"What are you going to have them do now?" Startled out of his thoughts by the reply, it took a few moments for GA to respond.

"Well, uh, they'll stay at the Mountain until we can figure out how to send them home and get our Team back."

Paula took all of three seconds before she shot out, "Unacceptable."

"Uh, what?"

"These teenagers have been dropped into a world just like, and yet, completely different from their own. Keeping them cooped up like criminals is unacceptable when they have done nothing wrong. I will be calling Wally's parents, and I'm sure they will agree that these alternate teens would be better off sleeping in real homes, close to those who will watch over them. And I will also be asking the Wests to pass on that thought to the other parents they know."

Green Arrow paled slightly at the thought of Ma and Pa Kent getting wind of this. To his knowledge, Superman had only taken Conner to see them a couple of times since New Year's, but the elderly couple had already taken to the kid like a second son.

No. Not good at all.

"Paula, I'm not sure I can convince the others-"

"Nonsense. Ask them- I'm sure at least a few will be accepting of it." Unfortunately, the woman wasn't bluffing, either. Not even a few days earlier, Artemis had invited the Team over to her house after a successful early-morning mission to unwind and have breakfast. Sometime during their conversations, the teens had discussed their various mentors and families, allowing Paula to be absolutely sure of herself when stating that the adults would agree to these reverse Team members having a more comfortable stay.

He just wasn't sure Batman would be one of them.
