Wherein Many Things are set in Motion and Comparatively Little is Explained

Somewhere in the Amazon 11:48 PM

It had all gone so horribly wrong. Granted, the situation had been shit beforehand, but now he'd really fucked it up. Kal-El had the stone: not just the black one, but the silver, which must have had some sort of teleportation power because the moment they'd all touched it, he'd felt a pull in his gut and blinked only to find himself in the middle of a jungle, and Lana was right in the middle of it all and he hadn't been able to get her back from Red in time, and it was his fault. Just like it always was.

But, he reflected, that was the least of his problems. He had no idea were he was and unlike his black-clad counterparts, he couldn't fly. He'd just have to find the last stone before they did. With his speed, he could pretty easily scout around for a road or town. Any place he could get his bearings. His split personality could wait until later. If he couldn't concentrate now, Lana was dead, and he couldn't let that happen. Not again.

He was about to leave when he noticed a small glinting object near his foot. He picked it up, and grinned.

Clenched in his trembling fingers was the black stone.

Smallville, Kansas 12:02 AM

It was a perfect night until the call came. Not a cloud in the sky and not a single light for miles around. Stars were scattered across the sky like a net, too numerous to count. They'd brought pizza and a few bottles of water. Connor had actually smiled for a good hour before the call came, interrupting nature's usual symphony with a rather obnoxious *BUUUUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZ*. He'd smiled apologetically and she had nodded, concern written over her now pensive face.

"Superboy here. What's up?" The response was not what he was expecting. "Hey, Supey, just calling to tell you, you should probably get back to the Mountain, Priority 1. Oh, is Miss M with you?" Connor raised his eyebrow. Priority 1 was Team code for 'Batman is spooked. Shit is about to hit the fan.' He nodded confirmation before remembering that his teammate couldn't see him. "Yeah, Rob, she's here. We'll get back ASAP. Anything else?" But the line was already dead. Obviously, Robin hadn't been kidding around.

He turned back to his girlfriend, expression clearly troubled. "So? What's going on?" Connor looked at her for a second. The moment had been so perfect and now it was gone. He shook his head slightly before answering.

"Something serious has come up. I didn't get many details from Rob before he hung up, but he said it was Priority 1…" he didn't have to elaborate. Without a word, Megan started gathering up their things. It was a good half an hour to the closest zeta tube and if Robin was right, they had to get there as soon as possible.

Connor grimaced slightly. 'Stupid missions, ruining a perfectly good date. Why can't we just have some time to ourselves?' He glanced back at her again and smiled apologetically. He didn't have to voice his apology; she had already linked them up. 'Come on. We have places to be.'

Unnamed Island Off the Coast of Jump City, Florida 12:14 AM

Garfield Logan had been in some very strange situations in his short, teenaged life. He'd been stranded on alien planets, betrayed by friends and sneezed on by slime monsters; he'd even been a member of the Doom patrol, which by default beat anything else out for raw weirdness, but this was just ridiculous. It wasn't like it was the first time he'd been knocked out, but the headache he was experiencing was on a new level, almost like his skull was ripping itself apart.

On top of that, he had no idea where he was. Last thing he remembered, they had been fighting Gizmo, who was curiously alone for once, and there had been some sort of explosion and an archway that was suddenly shooting red light everywhere… Then nothing up to his present predicament and the last few minutes of ridiculous brain-ache.

It was a few more minutes before he felt the familiar cold warmth of magic easing the pain in his brain. He gave a sigh of relief and slowly opened his eyes.

"Hey, are you okay?" She had her hood back. He liked it when her hood was back.

Beast Boy jumped up and did some mock-stretches. "Yeah. I'm great, now you're here. I thought that headache was gonna kill me!" Raven smirked slightly at her teammates antics. He grinned. 'Score one for Beast Boy!'

Her face returned to its usual stoic mask, as though she had read his mind. "Come on, Robin and Cyborg are already up. There's some stuff you should see."

Mount Justice 12:30 AM

Connor was worried. Very worried. He was worried because Batman was worried and when Batman was visibly worried, things were bad or very close to horrible. There was no greeting when he and Megan walked out of the zeta tube; everyone was pensive, from anticipation, he guessed.

"Good, you're all here. The mission you've been assigned is possibly very dangerous, so I don't want you undertaking it at any thing but full strength." Batman nodded slightly to Superboy and Miss Martian before turning to the holographic display and pulling up some satellite footage. It wasn't very good, but it would have been hard to miss the sudden piercing light on the dark Gotham rooftops. "Last night, at approximately 11:30 PM, a space-time anomaly occurred in Gotham under so far unexplained circumstances. This phenomenon would be cause for worry under any circumstances, all instances of space-time disturbance we've encountered have led to problems, but this one brought a visitor along."

Batman did some more typing and brought up a picture of a blonde teenager who had clearly forgotten to look in the mirror when he walked out the door that morning.

"This is Naruto Uzumaki of the Village Hidden in the Leaves. He's from another dimension. Thankfully, he's been friendly thus far. His arrival by dimensional tear was detected by the Watchtower because of a coinciding spike in Void Particle Density, but beside that, there weren't any real side affects." Once again, he was typing, bringing up a holographic globe riddled with red dots.

"Similar spikes in VPD have been reported at each of these locations. The largest occurred here, on a small island off the coast of Florida. There were also three other VPD spikes, which coincided with bursts of White Kryptonite radiation. These have been assigned to top-level League members due to the extreme danger posed by possibly Kryptonian opponents. Robin, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Kaldur and Superboy will be investigating the largest spike. Take the Bioship. You are to observe, then if necessary engage whoever or whatever may have crossed over. Tempest, Zatanna and Rocket are being held in reserve in case another pressing problem should arise."

The Batman watched them go and tried his best to shake the worry from his mind. 'They'll be fine.'
