Bruce Wayne X xx X after he's informed of the situation

"Tell me you did not get yourself taken to another world and then leave a way for them to track you to the world you are sworn to PROTECT! Tell me that you didn't all but drag super-human beings to our earth and then NOT EVEN TELL ANYONE!" why would he do that when he's seen the damage that an extra-dimensional incident can cause, he was there for JLDark and he should have known to tell someone. Now I would have to find out how to neutralize them and their portal stabilizer (or just close and seal the portal). How could he not have known what this would do? "Do you even care about what you've just done?"

He had the decency to look insulted, "Yes, Bruce I intentionally lead a group of people that id never met who didn't even know that this earth existed just to mess around. No, I was never raised to put other before myself time and time again, I was never yelled at for not considering the way my actions always affected everyone and that if I messed up even once I might end up being responsible for the deaths of everyone I love.I've never been made to take up a mantel that goes against everything I am. Thanks Bruce." I stared. Ever since Dick was little he was never the type to rant or reprimand but when he did he was right.

I sighed in exasperation, it seemed I was out of options. I couldn't lock them in their dimension, that was next to impossible to do without leaving someone on their side. I couldn't leave them close it permanently, that required trust and trust was something only Leaguers g-

That seemed to be a common theme ever since i got back, no matter how hard I tried I couldn't make anyone happy. Jim grumble about a more "cooperative bat", robin wanted "his real partner back", Jason, who in my 'absence' had become much better, still refused to be near me with attempting to take my life, i wasn't going to even approach the subject of the girls (with perhaps the exception of Barbra), and the only one who seemed to be glad i was back was Tim and Tim has more trust issues than I do. I just don't know how to get back the tru-

I was abruptly stopped by the epiphany that threatened to supercede rationality but maybe -just maybe -it would work. We'd one crazier things right?

I looked up to see Jason looking at me with cruel mirth and my eldest son walking away from me, "Dick, wait! ….. you're right I'm …. Sorry." i tried to put all of the guilt about what I'd said and done into those words that went against my inability to show weakness because in his eyes that was the greatest show of strength.

I steeled myself up to do one of the many things I was bad at: trust.

Steve X xx X

It had been a long day. It started with an explosion in Tony's lab, which in and of itself wasn't to odd (you know for Tony), but it hadn't happened in a while so the soldier went up to check. Everyone else in the team was already down there but what most concerned him was the fact that some thing that looked like cross between the hole in the sky that the Chitauri came through, and the window off of a skyriser. Then while everyone was either arguing, congratulating Tony and Dr. Banner, or yelling at them for being so single-minded that they couldn't see that what they did was not smart but stupid, there was a young man and a boy in suits inside the room who apparently A.) knew Barton, B.) was from the otherside of that portal, and C.) also thought that "opening a portal" (the several decades behind man was having a bit of trouble accepting the fact that that was what had happened) with no idea what's on the other side was dumb. Now a couple of hours later heros were geared up incognito to do some recon in this other world when yet again they were caught unawares by a voice in the portal.

"I wouldn't if I were you. Go through the portal without some sort of aerial support that is. Well I personally wouldn't go through at all but especially without something that can fly or stop a fall or even just cushion a fall. You'd fall from this tower into a trash bin on my earth and it would kill you in the grossest way ever. Just wait for a while, he'll know what to do. Got any coffee?" it was the boy from earlier and he was acting as though this was an everyday occurrence (although he failed to mention who "he" was). Like they were just sitting around talking about the weather. "Just sit tight and wait for Bats" he yawned, "and seriously do you know where i can find a coffee?" with that he fell asleep against the wall

The Captain looked at him with equal confusion and that feeling you get when you see a puppy trying to stand after a long day. Which he supposed was appropriate as it was dawn

Steve was startled when Tony said aloud, "Jarvis, make the kid a coffee, find out who he is, search for and hack tech on his person and tell Pepper to handle turning in a projects and that they're all on the table in the lab four stories down." he said all this looking at the kid and after the artificial intelligence accepted the order in the most sarcastic voice it could muster, tony addressed the boy asleep against his lab wall, "You might be asleep, or you're just a good actor that can fool even a computer. Either way, if you can hear me I'm not going to try attacking you, I'm just going to take you to a guest bedroom. Yes it has cameras. The bathroom on the other side has none and a window for your convenience." Tony said this as he picked up the enigma of boy no one even knew the name of yet, and took him exactly where he said he would.

So as per request we waited . . . and waited . . . and waited . . . and waited.

Finally, they were tired of waiting when they (A/N: lol I'm a troll to the mcu) where once AGAIN kept from going through by two figures jumping through.

Bruce wayne X xx X

The tension in the room was palpable. Neither side was comfortable with the uncertainty the other brought with them. He assessed the others with a clinical eye and an unreadable face

His son beside him, ever the peace-maker spoke trying to cut tension stronger than steel "let's all introduce ourselves, there will be no need to use real names, a field name will do, i just want to be able to call you by something other titles like 'pretty red-head' and 'boy scout'. I'm Nightwing, my more mature friends call me Dick, but as i know you've gathered my name is Richard John Grayson. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances" the whole time he emitted a calming aura with his relaxed stance and his soothing words

Just then, Timothy came in looking the way he always does when he wants to be underestimated, young and sleepy. "Dicky, when am I getting coffee?" Dick seems as though he's about to say something when an overhead PA system interrupts

"It went cold while you dozed, sir." it had an english accent and sounded remarkably like-

"I'll drink it anyway" he replied, as though he saw no other option.

A man with a clearly affluent personality and a confidant voice rings out, "Jarvis did you finish doing as I asked?"

The English pa system responded, "he has his coffee, and Sir,Ms. Potts is on the phone" Jarvis said obviously wondering if he'd like to take the phone

Tony, who was becoming more and more entranced with a bottle of bourbon a little to bruce's left, said, "Tell her what's up, then tell her I'll be out for a while." then he turned to the the team with a smile still on his face, "Are we finally going? Or will we just wait for someone to offend someone else?"

Damian X xx X

The clang of metal could be heard throughout the entire bat cave as Damian trained with Todd, and while dodging a blow from a bo-staff Jason had "borrowed" a day into training, Damian complained, "This is pointless, I'm already beyond this redundant basic level 'training'". They'd been sparring for day's and this was the first pause they'd had all week. "You can't beat me long term." He didn't know why Grayson wanted him to train with Todd, who was a killer and a criminal, who'd betrayed them all before but it was always better to train with actual people. Perhaps if reached the standard Grayson thought he lacked, he would be more open to the idea of them patrolling together.

"First of all kid, have you met Bruce? Second, this isn't about endurance, it's about not killing. Which, by the way you suck at. Do you know how many lethal hits you tried to deliver in the last 24 moves? 8, Devil spawn and if i were less trained they would have killed me. Again. So we are going to keep going till either we drop or you can go to fifty with no kill shots." Damian looked down, to think about the way his father looked at him whenever he was reminded of the fact that his son was a murderer, the look of forgiving disappointment on his partners face when he "goes too far".

He held up his katana and said in a voice that didn't revealed the insecurities that plagued his mind, "Come at me Todd, you'll see my restraint." he search for his opponents weak spots, as he had since he could stand.

Jason laughed, "Come at me demon spawn"

time skip X xx X just before they leave to met the Avengers

"Dick sent us a message, we need to get to New York, there's a whole bunch of metas and other people coming out at this singularity." **How typical of Grayson to be so trusting as to let metas in to the state of new york, let alone continental North America** not that this was particularly news: Grayson was the kind of person to give a basic level of trust to everyone he met peacefully patient. No, he was surprised that Father would allow this, but ever since his return to this time, father had been slightly out of place in juxtaposition to the current dynamic. Damian supposed that was because he was uncertain of his heir loyalties, but after a yelling match he wasn't meant to over hear, his father had begun to show …. patience, something never given unless he was made to understand its necessity.

"Is it the people from the earth he visited?" at least he knew what the altercation was about now. When Todd responded along the lines of 'yes,' Damian asked "Are there any other orders? Do we need to call in any one? How powerful are they? Damn it Grayson, you can't let us go in blind" for good measure he brought kryptonite, an EMP, his katana, some batarangs (explosive and some non-explosive), stole a pair of Eskrima sticks that adapted into a bow staff, shuriken stars (laced with a paralytic that wasn't lethal and wore off, still only he had the antidote), and two sai (also laced with the same thing as before) he finished with a restocked utility-belt.

Todd looked at him and was immediately taken aback "What the hell Demon Brat, you're never this armed. I mean sure there's a good reason to worry, that's a given with unknown metas, but normally you'd be good with just your sword and some shuriken." that was true. He and Grayson had one given weapon and the utility-belt, but this instance was different and Damian was determined not to be caught off guard or without a plan.

Nevertheless, Damian ignored the remark and instead went on to say, "Can we just quit dawdling and go? We're wasting time."

So they went.

Natasha X xx X warning there will be a LOT of anecdotes from her they will have **these** because that's what I use to signify thoughts

They were on the entryway to a different world and the only thing Natasha could think was **I must be stupid for even considering going somewhere without prior knowledge of what's on the other side, this will be worse than New York** (A/N: she's referencing the tragedy not the place guys). But, before she could psych herself out of it, Tony did as Tony always does:

"Is there like a dinner we could eat at over there, or like some sort of fast-food place?" he bemoaned as though it wasn't his own fault that he hadn't seen did in 72 hours.

Nightwing turned to him with serious look on his face, "what's fast-food?" then when Tony pulled a face he smirked and said, "yeah but we need to wait for my friend to bring it." He looked at his phone to text, a friend as he'd said, although she wasn't sure why he didn't just send Red Robin. He'd been sent somewhere else and when they left the protege took of in another direction on a motorcycle.

They met in an alleyway in Harlem that wasn't too far from were Stark tower was in Midtown Manhattan, but still in a 32 minute drive, they was antsy, so when they got out of both vehicles (because they had taken two and there were too many passengers) and he spotted to kids with masks, one a teen with a mischievous face, red hair that had a white streak **more like a clump, but that was besides the point Natasha decided** and a tall athletic build, next to a boy no older than eleven or ten also with black hair, lithe, but still athletic, and moved with the grace of someone trained **trained well, and from a young age, born into it if she had to take a guess**, both of them with arms busting at the seams with fast food Tony ran at them.

And he, in what couldn't have been more than two seconds, was immediately incapacitated. It would have been funny that a boy half his size and a teen that only a second ago oozed apathy (now he was downright volatile), but right now it was an unknown attacking a powerhouse in enemy grounds and they were winning. She kept into the fray while Dick shouted "They're not a threat! STOP" but it seem as though they were too busy fighting to notice. She was fighting the youngest, while Steve protected a K. Tony from the older of the two who had a noticeably different style of fighting. It was entirely speed, strength, and brutality (this is cannon. Look it up. Love y'all), adaptable, but still no plan. She was distracted and the boy in front of her used a technique she used frequently on bigger opponents, but it was rather disarming to have it done in her, because she'd never had to dodge that. She saw that Hawkeye was posed to take a shot but knew that should they move while the arrow was mid flight could hurt his team. Nightwing was jumping in to her fight against the boy, hulk seemed to be trying to stay calm, last but not least, thor was trying to grab batman while he tried to explain that it wasn't trap, and that he hadn't known that they were going to flip out. It wasn't that she didn't believe him, because oddly she did, she just needed to not almost die in another meaningless fight, which meant that they all had to keep going.

Suddenly someone ended the fight Cap was in by swooping in behind the man against him, knocking the backs of his knees, while he fell the boy reached under his arms so that he could put him in a lock that made it impossible to stand, move his arms or legs, or even turn his head and yelled, "Red Hood! Stop it! This is the birds' territory and if we reck one of these buildings by fighting against newcomers they'll be pissed. They didn't mean to."

The distraction of his brother's fighting left Nightwing open and the boy seized this opportunity to take him down, but she used that to get him from the side and quickly went for his liver and carotid (not to hard she didn't want to kill a child) in succession. While that didn't bring him all the way down, it did let Dick cuff him in both wrists, but these cuffs were not ordinary by any means, for one they were designed to look like a bat and then there was the fact there were four attached to each other by a circular ring, two of them were bigger than the ones in his wrist. The boy seemed to come out of a daze once he realized he'd been beaten.

Thor seemed to be actually enjoying what seemed like partially a fight and partially a game of cat and mouse. Then upon seeing what was happening to their leader, Dick, Red Hood **that's the guy who was fighting Cap,** Red Robin **the guy who took Red down,** and the boy who's field name she still didn't know, all lept into the battle soon (like three seconds) they put him in his back and Banner who seemed on the very of losing it in an alley that barley with stood the fight, yelled, "Stop! He's been trying to explain that it was not him and his intention to pull you into a trap you noooooo you just had to go and start a brawl!"

That just about shut the god up.

"I'm sorry about that." said Dick sheepishly, "I swear they've been taught to behave." that comment got a 'humph' from Red Hood and a 'tt' from the boy who had yet to be introduced.

She threw a distasteful look at tony, and replied with, "Not to worry, its not their fault it's ours for assuming that he was smart enough not to run at two individuals who he had no background on. I'm sorry," she stopped and looked at batman, "did you teach them all? They're all very different yet very similar. It's like watching the personification of the way all fighting is related but distinct per region, it's almost beautiful," she didn't mention her analysis of the youngest or the second oldest fighting.

"Robin," said Batman, "sparing later, you only got to 1 out of 10, and she could have died"

she'd noticed them and thought they were accidental but now that she thought back to the fight they really were spaced and calculated

"Hood was just as volatile! And whilst I am reprimanded he is allowed turn his nose and scoff at something that's kept me off patrol for MONTHS!"

Nightwing gave an incredulous look, "You haven't been letting him patrol?! What the hell?! You know why that's not an option right now!"

"I'll decide what's right for Robin" he quipped with a glacial glare

"Tt," was the only response from 'robin', which made Nathasha think this happened often. She looked at the boy, and while it was by no possible stretch of the word "obvious," the murderess could clearly see the all too familiar feeling of regret and shame painted across his face. She'd seen it every time she looked at the beautiful poison face in her mirror. He was like her, a killer trying to be human, but her response was twofold. Natasha was trying not to be reminded of what she was like before Clint saved her from the monster she was, but she could see he was struggling with who other's made him be and who he was trying to become, and it was hard to even think about what he must be feeling because she didn't like feeling that way herself.

"Um, hey guys can we pick up our food and eat?" Tony slurred, he'd been unable to fight the entire time but whatever was in his system seen to be going away, but it seemed that Hawkeye was getting a little impatient so he turned to the boy who Natasha had heard him be called 'robin' and asked:

"Hey, can you fix him? None of us want to carry his ass to wherever the hell it is that we're going, should we ever make it." The kid deliberated for a while, then took put a needle almost out of nowhere and asked rapid fire questions about Tony then took out a bottle with clouded greenish tinge to it, and took a the slightest bit into it. Once it was in him, Tony sprang up like he'd been given a large scale dose of adrenaline.

The boy turn to look at Batman and asked, "Father can we go now? I don't like risking civilians spotting us."

The foreign party stared in disbelief, and Natasha looked at the man in front if her in a new light. He however didn't seem to think anything of it and and in the same unforgiving tone as before answered, "Seems appropriate, Dick, uncuff him so that he can climb. We can't go in the front like this. They'll trace us."

They reeled, and Banner was the first to speak up, "wait a sec CLIMB?"
