Chapter 7A
IN THE WATCHTOWER!
(Remember this is a version of the Watchtower that I will make.)
(I will also add a few more crossover Characters so prepare for it.)
The four heroes were standing in a room that had nine Zeta Ports. The Ports read that they led to places like Gotham City, Fawcett City, etc. One of the walls of that room was completely made of glass, showing a view of outer space. How could the three newbie heroes tell that it was space? Because the saw the Earth in the distance.
Wally: … Welcome to the Watchtower.
Chris: Whoa...
Martin: (He was exited. He actually flew to the window and let his face touch the glass.) This is awesome...
Zak: It is pretty cool... (Then again Zak DID go to space to try to stop the Gray Men from tracking him.)
They went out of that room using one of the doorways. They were in a hallway with windows to the left.
Wally: The whole place was designed by John Stewart; he's an architect. Anyway, let's find Superman, alright?
They entered the Central Hub area of the Watchtower. They saw entrances to the three lesser hubs (The fanfic versions of the three wings, Tech, Meta, and Magic) as well as the entryway to the Monitor Womb in the center of the area. There was a sealed of section of the room. It looked like the primary seven (In Earth-16 those members would be, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, John Stewart (In place of Hal Jordan who is off world), Aquaman, The Flash (Barry Allen), and the Martian Manhunter (In place of Cyborg who is now a member of the Titans, obviously.) were in deep conversation. Wally went to a seal doorway that led to the room, imputed a password on a terminal next to it and it opened. The four went inside. The walls of the room were brown. There was a giant glass window in the room opposite the door they just came in through. There was also a Zeta walkway for the Primary Seven to use to directly enter the room. In the center of the room, there was a circular table where the Seven were sitting at. They looked up two the four who entered the room. Batman especially had this stern look aimed at Wally. Apparently entry to this room, the Command Room, was only to be authorized by the Seven.
Wally: Uhh... … Hi?
Batman: Explain.
Wally: Uhh...
Zak: [oh, boy...] (To Wally) Alright Baywatch (he picked up the nickname from Artemis, Wally's wife), let me take it from here.
Zak immediately explained how Wally led them here while the Kratt Bros. just kept looking around the area in awe. After Zak had finished, the seven directed their attention to the two brothers.
Batman: Chris, Martin. (The two bros gave the Bat their attention) I understand you have information pertaining to the war against Brainiac, correct?
The two launched into an explanation of exactly what happened between them and Queen Zsazzala. The Seven exchanged looks.
J'onn: So Queen Zsazzala is working alongside Brainiac...
John Stewart: That can't be good for anyone.
Flash: We're gonna need to look into it a little longer.
Superman: Anyway. Great Job defending the Metrodome. I sure the decision to use Queen Zsazzala will sting Brainiac in the end.
Chris: So... what happens now?
Superman: For now, just take a look around; the Watchtower might just have something that will interest you.
Wonder Woman: Kid Flash, Artemis and Aqualad have requested your assistance at Happy Harbor. Head over there as soon as you can.
Wally west left using the Zeta walkway in the room. The three heroes left the exact way they came. Zak used his Cryptipod to open up a map of the watchtower. He was directing them to the Tech Hub when the three bumped into someone was running.
Chris: (getting up from the floor) What the-
?: Sorry about that! Guess I need to watch myself.
The three looked at the person that had crashed into them. He had brown eyes and black hair that had this blue tint to it. He wore a white t-shirt and an orange jacket, along with bark blue gloves; a pair of pants with electric blue lines running through each side; and a pair of blue-black shoes. The main feature of this boy was the bright orange goggles that he had on his head.
Martin: Wait, you're...
Zak: (Casually) Hey Rex.
The Kratts looked at the two in slight shock; did these two know each other?
Rex: Hey Zak.
Zak: How's Noah? (Noah Nixon, Rex's best friend).
Rex: He's fine... (Begins to seem a little down)
Zak: Caesar again? (Caesar, Rex's older brother. When Black Knight lost power, all of her subordinates were arrested. Caesar was personally shipped to Blackgate Prison in Gotham.)
Rex: Yeah. The authorities are sending him to Belle Reve.
Zak was shocked about this; Belle Reve Prison was a maximum security prison used mostly to contain extremely dangerous criminals; usually Meta Criminals. Rex was trying so hard to persuade them to let Caesar free, that we was simply under Black Knight's threats. So far he has only been successful with a few of White Knight's new superiors, the Data-Seekers, a group who replaced the tyrannical group, the Consortium as the main contributors of Providence. They seemed intent to keeping Caesar behind locked doors, just for his urge to continue his research. (He is considered even by his closest friends as a typical mad scientist.)
Rex: (Trying to cheer himself up) I just have one more meeting for their appeal though. Then I can stop them from doing this nonsense.
Zak: Well... at least that's good news.
Rex: Yeah... (Looks to the Kratt Bros. who just took in the conversation) Chris and Martin Kratt, right?
Chris: Yeah.
Rex: (looks toward Martin) Umm hey, your face-
Martin: I know; I look like Superboy.
Rex: (Unfazed by this) Okay, just thought I'd point it out. Anyway, later! (He left for one of the nearby Zeta portals.
Computer: Recognized: Rex Salazar. C02 (Providence is now a part of the Justice League. C01 is White Knight, obviously.)
Zak: He's a good person. (The three looked at one another) Anyway, shall we?
The Kratt Bros. nodded, and the three continued to walk to the Tech Hub.
Author's Note: This Chapter was sorta meant to describe the Watchtower, but I just had this awesome idea so I am putting IT into the story as well. So, without further ado, Here is Chapter 7B!
In an alternate world, completely safe from the threat of Brainiac...
It was a sunny and peaceful day in Bellwood as the morning slowly became noon somewhere in the suburban area, a boy, no less than 16 was sitting on a bench at a restaurant called Mr. Smoothie.
This boy was average height and build; he had brown hair and green eyes; and he was wearing a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and Soccer cleats reinforced for multi-terrain travel. He was also wearing a green jacket with the number 10 on it. This boy was known to his entire world as Ben Tennyson, a.k.a., "Ben 10."
Ben was currently enjoying the first day of summer vacation with his cousin Gwen Tennyson (An Anodite) and his best friend Kevin Levin. The three were currently enjoying their well deserved break from heroism. They also had a friend with them, Jimmy Jones.
They were having a toast to the final defeat of Vilgax. He was thrown into an omni-prison that has been proven by the celestial-sapiens themselves to be inescapable. The threat of him destroying the Earth is finally over. Anyway, Ben was looking down a a device on his wrist; the Omnimatrix.
It has been 6 years since he has received the prototype version of this watch, the Omnitrix. He had been fighting alien crimes since. There was a period of around four to five years where he didn't have the Omnitrix on, let's not talk about that. Then, some months ago, he received a sort of Next generation Omnitrix, the Ultimatrix. Then shortly after Vilgax's defeat Ben received this device the Omnimatrix by Azmuth himself. Ben can easily remember a key part in that little conversation.
Ben: I don't know how to thank you.
Azmuth: Keep doing the right thing.
Ben: I don't suppose you'd consider giving me the master control.
Azmuth: (He just smiled. It was in a way that just told you he was being honest.) … Perhaps for your 18th birthday. (Then he just teleported away.)
It's been one month since that day...
Ben: … Get that I still need to be watched over, but he (Azmuth) should at least consider-
Gwen: Ben. Just give it a rest. (Ben immediately went back to drinking his smoothie.)
Jimmy: (To Kevin) So... he's been like this-
Kevin: Ever since he got that version of the Omnitrix? Yeah.
Ben: Hey!
Kevin: Well...
Ben: … At least Vilgax is no longer a problem. So, let's just enjoy the summer. (Raising his smoothie) To the Plumbers!
Gwen: (Everyone else raising their smoothies) … To the plumbers.
At that moment though, the four instantly vanished from the spot. Just spirited away, their smoothies falling downward to the ground.
P.O.V Switch
To protect his wife... that is the only reason that he lived for left. Victor Fries was an unfortunate man. Living the way he had to, just to survive... especially in a place like Gotham City. His life had earned him an alternate title... Mister Freeze.
A henchman had walked in his subzero office.
Henchman: They are being brought up here, sir.
Freeze: Good. Bring them in.
Henchman: Are you sure sir? They seem to know that they aren't in their own world and- (Freeze just gives him a look) … right away sir. (The henchmen leaves.)
Mr. Freeze would do whatever it takes, even kill, to find a cure for his dying wife, Nora Fries. And what he found might have been what he had been looking for.
(Quick note: in this fanfic he will look just like he did in Batman: Arkham City)
P.O.V. Swap.
Ben, Gwen, and Kevin. Were Surrounded by guards. They all were armed to the teeth they had no choice but to follow their orders and enter the office and see "Mr. Freeze."
Freeze: Welcome, I am Victor. However the general population of the world calls me Mr. Freeze.
Ben: … (Serious) Where are we?
Freeze: You are in my office, which resides in Gotham City.
Gwen: (realizing something) Gotham? That's impossible there isn't a Gotham City on Earth.
Freeze: Perhaps not on your Earth.
Gwen: What?
Freeze: Think really hard... you have been in this dimension before.
Ben: Wait... "this dimension"? (It took a while, but then all of the cogs in his brain slowly moved into place.) Guy's, where in Rex's homeworld.
Freeze: Correct. (He types something onto the wrist computer build into his suit. This caused a screen to appear. The screen showed a muted recording of a news footage showing Ben and Rex fighting Alpha, or to be precise, the Alpha Nanite.) I have heard about you and your friends Ben Tennyson and I believe I could use some help.
Ben: "Help"?
Freeze: Yes. (He types something else and the wall on the left opened up to reveal... Nora, in her cryogenic state. The three heroes just stood there in shock. Freeze continues to speak.) My wife, Nora... Infected by disease that currently has no true cure. To this day she has been like this; a flower frozen in time. I need you to help me cure her.
Gwen: How?
Freeze: There is a Research convention that will take place here in Gotham tomorrow. There, a man named Solomon Saturday will be having a presentation on the MacGregor's Disease, the very same illness that my beloved Nora has been afflicted by. I believe that Device on your wrist may be of help.
Kevin: (A little Suspicious) Really? How?
Freeze: I need you to kidnap him; find him and his documents on his research, and bring them to me. (The three immediately began to get tense at this.)
Kevin: Forget it.
Freeze: I beg your pardon?
Ben: Hey, maybe you're suffering from a lack of oxygen from being in that subzero punchbowl for too long. But in case you haven't realized it yet: we're the good guys; were not going to resort to fear and death to save lives.
Freeze: I don't think you understand. You will help me heal my Nora... (If you've played Batman: Arkham City, then you know hat will happen next) or you will die.
Let's get back to the Watchtower shall we? (Oh and this will be my version of the locations of the Watchtower, just a reminder.)
All three: Whoa...
The Tech wing looked like something out of Tron: Legacy. Split into two levels, the whole area was a metallic black with white and cyan ribbons of light running through everything. In the middle of the wing was an energy beam. It was evident that this was the Tech energy Core for the Watchtower. Used for many purposes (Just like the other two cores).
Zak: This is pretty cool.
?: I know right?
The three turned around. They saw Nightwing and Jimmy, who looked like he just entered his own personal heaven.
Jimmy: This. Place. Is. AWESOME!
Chris: Alright JZ, just calm down.
Jimmy: … Okay.
Nightwing: This wing is usually run by Batman. Zak. Here (Hands Zak a sheet of paper.)
Zak: What's this?
Nightwing: A map of the Watchtower. Listen I gotta go... Aviva needs Jimmy here to track the Creature Power Suits' signatures. She things there might be a chance that they might still be in one piece. (the two go somewhere else in the Wing).
Zak: (He takes the map and opens it up.) Alright. This seems nice. Alright Lets leave here. I want to see this Magic Wing.)
A few minutes later the trio had entered the Magic Wing. It looked like something out of a legend. There were symbols of the walls and floor and they seemed to be moving around. There were also drapes and curtains hanged everywhere. The Magic energy Core was a a sight to behold, a bright red beam of light supported only by the symbols that were swirling around it.
Chris: Whoa... this place it pretty cool, huh guys? (Neither Zak, nor Martin answered.) Guy's?
Chris turned to them. Martin was staring at the core as if it was the only thing left in existence. Zak had a black expression on his face, as if he was in a trance.
Chris: (loudly) GUYS! (This snapped the other two out it)
Martin: Huh?
Zak: What?
Chris: You guys were sort of out of it for a second there.
Martin: We... were?
Zak: Hmm... It must be all the magic flowing here.
Chris: Huh?
Zak: (Now looking at the Magic Core) That thing if really powerful. I guess it almost pulled us into some sort of calm state.
Chris: You were almost in some kinda trance.
Zak: That was just the part of me that's Kur reacting to this place.
Martin: The part you that's Kur?
Zak: It's complicated, alright?
?: Hey Zak!
The three looked ahead and saw a girl walking towards them. She looked like a female version of Zak, only her hair was longer, and the tips of it were dyed red.
Zak: Hey, Zoey. (He turns to the Kratts) Guys, I'd like you to meet my twin sister, Zoey.
Zoey: Hey guys!
Chris: Nice to meet you Zoey.
Martin: Yeah!
Zak: Zoey here is an Exobytten Hero, just like me. Only she got most of her powers for data off of that Vibe hero. (Vibe one of the minor members of the League.)
Zoey: As a hero, I call myself Freeflow. Has a nice ring to it huh? Anyway, Zak I gotta go. I need to head back to work before anyone suspect anything. (She leaves running for the nearest Zeta Portal) Later! It was nice meeting you guys!
Chris: (After she left) she seems cool, sometimes I wish I had a cool sibling...
Martin: HEY!
Chris: Don't worry bro! I'm just kidding!
Martin: (Smiling) You'd better. (He and Chris laugh at that little joke). (He then turns toward Zak) Anyways what's next on our tour?
Zak: (Looks at the list then smiles) ... I think you will like this one.
(Later)
The Kratt Bros: WHOA!
It looked as if the Kratts had just entered a small cross between the woods and the jungle. There were trees every here and there. There was even a lake in the middle. It was as if they weren't in space anymore.
Zak: Welcome to the Watchtower's Aquacultural Area; a small patch of green in this space station.
After a few minutes of just staring at the place in awe the Kratts immediately began to play around the Area, Chris was climbing this large tree and Martin just jumped into the lake. I think we all know which part of the Watchtower the two love most.
After a while Zak managed to get them into the Meta Wing. The walls were a metallic Blue and the floors were a Bark gray. The Meta Core was a large energy emitting hologram that showed three-dimensional diagrams of DNA sets. They three heroes were impressed; this was a cool place.
?: Impressive, huh?
The three heroes turned around. It was a holoimage of Oracle's avatar.
Chris: Yeah, the watchtower is a neat place.
Martin: Hey, Oracle have you seen Aviva.
Oracle: Look to your left.
The three turned to the left and saw Aviva typing something down onto a computer. The three went up, to her. She noticed them and turned to them, smiling.
Aviva: Hey guys! I didn't know you'd be here! (turns to the holoimage that followed the heroes.) Hey Oracle.
Oracle: Hey there, Aviva.
Aviva: (now talking to Zak) Hi. Zak, right?
Zak: Yeah.
Martin: So Aviva... How is everything?
Aviva: Well (she directs their attention to the monitor she was using), I've been tracking the signature of the Creature Power Suits through the Watchtower's resources. It's a long shot, but if Brainiac didn't destroy them, I'll be able to find them. So... (Talking to Martin) MK, did you find something for Kitty yet?
Martin: huh?
Aviva: For your 6 month anniversary.
Martin: (His face slowly became one of pure, absolute shock)...
Chris: Whoa... Bro., don't tell me you actually forgot. (only silence greeted these words; Martin forgot alright.)
Zak: Yikes! That's not good.
Martin: (finally speaking) W-What am I gonna do? If Laura finds out- !
Chris: Just slow down, bro. The anniversary is still 3 days away... we can still find a present for her.
Martin: Really?
Chris: Yeah! Don't worry.
Zak: I'll help out too.
Martin: … Thanks guys.
Aviva: Huh? (She heard beeping form the monitor and checked on it.) I-I don't believe it! The monitor is picking up the CPS signatures!
Chris: You've found the Creature Power Suits?!
Aviva: Yes. There in (looks at the monitor) Gotham City.
Martin: Gotham.
Zak: Well that's okay, we can just go as out other identities?
Chris: Well okay.
Oracle: I'll send a temp Zeta portal your way; You might want to close your eyes for this one; prepare to head to Gotham City.
