Superman:

The Man of Steel comes to, finding himself lying in the streets of a ruined city, feeling strange and with no clear memory of how he got here.

"What… happened?" He asks out loud as he gets off the ground and looks around himself before he takes to the skies that have turned to a yellowish-brown color, telling him of the amount of dirt particles that's currently in it. He hangs in the air above the city with a dread feeling growing in his stomach as it dawns on him how quiet it is. He can hear the wind blowing the sand and dust around the city, he can hear it whistling through empty windows and openings and the slow waves thats made in the river that passes through the city. He can hear water continuing to run within the pipes beneath the streets and into buildings where it leaves through various ruptures. And he can hear the dull hums, cracks and sparks from machinery and power outlets that's been abandoned. What worries him is the complete absence of anything living. He can hear no beating of hearts, no sounds of people breathing, no sound of animals, no flapping of wings, no quiet pattering of the paws of rats and not even the scratching or chirping of insects.

He doesn't have to rise much higher before he realizes what he didn't initially see; "This is Metropolis!" He couldn't initially tell due the damage wrought, the buildings had their facades peeled off and many of them were leaning while some had fallen over entirely, and the river that ran through part of the city and into Hobb's Bay had altered it's course and was now flooding several streets.

With the realization in his mind he is gone from the sky and arrives with a blast of wind at the ruins of his and Lois' apartment, finding it as ruined as the rest of the city. He doesn't dare go in at first out of fear of what he might find and hangs outside the window and x-rays the building, finding no trace of human presence or remains. He decides to enter and almost immediately wishes he hadn't, the bedroom is a ruin like the rest of the city, everything has been thrown around and obviously there had been a fire. He pushes the door to the hallway open, only to have it give up it's hold on the frame and falls to the ground. To his left he can see the living room is in the same state as the bedroom. Then he looks to the right where the hall makes a turn to the left where the wardrobe and the front door was, but it's in the corner he sees it; a shadow of a person curled up for protection that's been burnt into the raw concrete of the wall behind it.

"No…" Superman stammers as he realizes who the shadow had belonged to.

Green Lantern:

John Steward doesn't believe his eyes; he thought he had just returned to Oa to see how Katma and the others were doing, thinking it would be a welcome chance to spend some time with his fellow Green Lanterns. But before him stands the broken and empty husk of the Green Lantern Central Battery surrounded by the wasted remains of the Guardians Citadel.

"How… is this possible?" John asks before he snaps himself out of it, knowing he had to use whatever energy he had left to find out what happened. "Ring, power level?"

"Ring charge at 86% capacity, warning contact with Central Battery is broken." It chimes.

"Scan for survivors." John says, knowing that 86% would last him a while, but it would be the last he could squeeze out of it unless the Central Power Battery could be rebuilt in a hurry.

"Guardian located, 15.2 meters above current location." The ring replies and John flies up to the ceiling and cuts a hole to get him into the Guardians council chamber. The place is an abattoir splattered with the Guardians yellow blood, their bodies lying discarded where they were dropped. The ring highlights a hand sticking out of a pile of five bodies and John gently removes the dead and finds Ganthet lying at the bottom covered in the blood of his brothers and sisters, deeply wounded by a tear in his flank and missing a hand.

"Ganthet." John mutters before he has the ring perform a scan of the Guardian before getting confirmed what he feared, Ganthet was dying.

"John…?" Ganthet groans as if responding to the green light washing over him.

"Ganthet, what happened?" John asks, knowing the Guardian was well aware of his own condition.

"She… She came from Earth… She consumed the others before she came here, turned their powers against them."

"Others?" John asks.

"The other Corps… Only the Orange is left before she claimed she would return to Earth…" Ganthet coughs.

"Ganthet, who hit us?" John asks.

"See…" The little blue man says before his eyes flash green and John see a massive black shape descend upon Oa and it's defenders attempts at stopping it before their lights flutter and die out, leaving most of them to die in the cold vacuum of space. The shape heads towards him before Kyle, Katma, Jordan, Gardner and Kilowog mount a final line of defense. It matters not to the assailant as the wills of the five die out like the rest before their bodies are atomized by the proximity of the assailant. The walls offer it little resistance as they are left to warp and twist before opening for it. John feels Ganthet returning to his own mind as the wall is opened and the four-eyed demon, already blazing with power enters the Guardians sanctum.

"Why?" John asks as the vision ends. "Ganthet, why did she…" John doesn't finish as he realizes Ganthet had breathed his last. Billions of years of life ended in blood and pain, and John still doesn't know why.

The Flash:

"It's not working." Flash growls as he again sits on the sidewalk of Central City, where time has ceased to tick. He remembers wanting to get home faster and now this had happened again, only this time he is as calm as he can be and it doesn't slow his perception down the slightest. "Maybe it's that Dr. Destiny guy again? HEELLOO?" He shouts into the silent city, getting nothing of a reply.

All of a sudden, everything around him shifts. "WOW!" He jumps into the air as the car that was down the street a second ago is now suddenly right next to his legs that would have been run over if everything hadn't just frozen again. "Weird." He says to himself as he scratches his head. "There has to be an explanation for this." He says and runs to the Hall of Justice in Metropolis that just seemed a little closer than he remembers it, but inside he finds everyone there is as frozen as everyone else. It is as he looks over the shoulder of Mr. Terrific in hopes they had detected something, that another shift takes place and he is suddenly standing next to the Atom, but to his worry, the date on the computer shows that an entire day had just passed him by in the blink of an eye. "This is bad." He says as he realizes the old nightmare had been reversed, now everyone was moving at superspeed, while he only had bursts of it lasting only seconds to the others.

Martian Manhunter:

J'onn can barely think as it is, barely enough remember how he got here and no idea who could be so cruel as to trap him in one of the Justice League's deep core geo-monitors. His existence is now the tiny sphere they sent deep into the Earths molten core in order to predict earthquakes, and to his terror, the only thing separating him from the crushing lava surrounding him was a far too thin layer of metal.

So deep is he in his own terror that he has reverted into his own form and has curled up in a corner in an attempt to rid himself of his fear of fire through old mantra's he learned long ago on Mars. In his attempts to calm himself, he misses the figure that peeks in through the viewing port.

Starfire:

She is crying openly for the sighs below her, her planet, her homeworld and its capitol has fallen. There was a battle, she can see that much and she can tell it was an enemy that had arrived without warning or mercy as soldiers and civilians lie where they fell in the confusion with no sign of the invader. She had already been down to see if there were any that could be helped, but everyone she had found carried the same fist sized wound in their chest that had robbed them of their hearts. What also disturbs her so greatly is the look of terror everyone was wearing, a people of warriors they were all supposed to meet death with determination and bravery, failure to do so could have dire consequences for them in the afterlife. And Starfire cries because she knows that fiery X'Hal would banish many of the dead from her realm this day.

What was left for her was to see if the same fate that had befallen her people had also befallen her beloved k'nofka and her less than beloved sister and a small hope what whatever horror had committed this atrocity had left a clue to it's identity.

As she draws closer to the royal palace, Starfire is met with a woman's scream, making her stop for a second before she flies off to where she thought she heard it come from, the pens where the hunting and guard beasts were kept. The woman screams again and Starfire can definitely hear growling and wet tearing. Quickly she flies off and finds a closed off arena, where she finds the screamer. "Away from her!" Starfire shouts in alarm at the sight of Blackfire dangling from the end of a rope while three Ba'ra Hounds have gathered beneath her. Starfire doesn't hesitate in blasting all three of the hounds to oblivion for the damage they have caused her sister who is missing both arms and the most of her legs that the dogs had been feeding on.

"You…" Blackfire gasps at Starfire who flies up to get her down.

"Hold still sister." Starfire replies as she grabs her and burns the rope before flying her over to the spectator stands before she pulls the rope free from the contraption holding Blackfire to stop the bleeding from the legs as whoever left Blackfire like this had burnt the stumps her arms closed.

"You… You brought this upon us!" Komand'r gasps as Starfire ties the second knot

"I… How am I to blame for this?!" Starfire asks, feeling hurt and outraged that her sister would stoop so low to accuse her of this.

"You brought her here… That monster you called a friend… You led it here and it butchered us all!" Blackfire wails in anger.

"What monster?" Starfire asks with a hard edge entering her voice as part of her starts regretting saving Blackfire from the hounds.

"Who do you think would leave me alive like this?!" Blackfire snaps and waves her stumps. "Which one of your friends have that sort of power and a mind for this?!" Starfire just stares at her darkly.

"You best not be lying to me about this sister. Are there others left behind like you?" She asks, Blackfire clenches her jaw before responding.

"If you do not believe me… then go to the throne room, then you will see." She growls

The Huntress:

She doesn't know how or why, it's happened and part of her mind doesn't believe it's happened, she worked too hard to avoid coming here, but she is in Hell, she is on the run from something and wearing a nun's dress and to her immense confusion; pregnant.

She looks back over her shoulder, but only sees an already derelict church being consumed by flames before she turns back and disappears into the dark forest that's appeared before her. "Wha… What's going on?" Her pants as she runs. "What's happened to me?" She asks as she runs, if she had looked up she would have seen the Bat-Signal lighting the sky.

Hawkgirl:

"There is no way around it Shayera." Dr. Destiny, in his human guise, smirks at her from the screen as she faces him in a decayed warehouse. "The only way to save your friends, is to push that button. But you better hurry, their time is running out fast." He smirks as her anger grows.

"Why are you doing this?" She asks, even if she already knows the answer, but even the idea of doing what he was asking was terrifying for her. Below the screen with Dee there stands an open sarcophagus with a red field inside of it, Shayera is under no illusion that the field would make the lid slam shut when activated and trap her inside.

"Revenge of course, and the respect I have to gain." He smiles before looking at some besides the camera. "Better hurry, Superman is starting to look blue around the gills."

She doesn't know how he did it, capture the other leaguers and place them in death traps before luring her here. But she knows she can't afford not to believe him, the others weren't responding, and the League was no closer to locating them. But still, a part of her was not sure dooming herself was the answer, because she had no guarantee that her actions would save the others.

"Tick Tock Hawkgirl." He continues. "If you want guarantees, just know that I don't need to kill all of you, one will do." He smirks, and Shayera hates him for it, he wanted her to kill herself and in such a fashion that he could parade her around and brag about how she died terrified and trapped by his ingenuity.

But even if she shakes as she moves, she knows she is doing the right thing; the others are more important than her and she owed them everything. So she leaps into the sarcophagus and places her palm on the panel that chimes and turns green as the lid slams shut and sends her into a panic.

Lady Blackhawk:

Zinda is out of her mind with rage, Blackhawk had in an extremely foul mood grounded her and just then the alarm had started blaring, meaning that their base on Blakhawk Island was about to face imminent attack. And while Zinda could do nothing but watch the others take off and head towards the approaching enemy; to her a single black spot on the distant sky.

"What the devil was Savage thinking?" She thinks while taking some solace that Blackhawk would be in a better mood when he got back, but it angered her to no end to have been left behind.

Soon she can hear the distant snapping of the machine guns firing, but she can only see the shape coming closer and the Blackhawks swarming around it. Its resilience is enough for her to run back to get a pair of binoculars to see what it was.

"Oh… oh no…" She mutters as the enemy comes into view, it's a creature, a monster, Hitlers monster; Ragnarok. The Allies had been hearing rumors about it for years now, it was something Hitler and his Thule cronies has found buried somewhere near Germany's northern border. They supposedly spent years studying it, trying to gain something from it, while Hitler spun his tales of possessing the means to bring about Ragnarok on his enemies. Intelligence thought it was a hoax, empty boasting from a man everyone outside of Germany believed to be insane, but that was before spies managed to secure a photo of it. It was asleep then, or in some form of suspended animation, but it was there; three times the height of a man, two black horns towering above its head, the skin reported to be red as blood, a great pair of leathery wings on its back and four eyes placed not it's forehead. Intelligence thought it was dead and felt completely safe that Hitler didn't posses the means to change that. But now Linda Blake can see Hitlers usurper; Vandal Savage has brought the creature to life.

She decides this was a time to ignore orders as she runs to her plane and prepares to take off. As she straps herself in she can see them coming closer, either the creature couldn't retaliate or simply didn't bother to.

"Zind… zzz… Oracle… what… zzz… doing?" Her radio squawks as she starts the engine.

"Taking off, it's the Ragnarok creature." Zinda replies even if she is puzzled, she recognized Oracle somehow, but she can't recall who it was but the image of several computer screens flash by her eyes as she heads down the runway.

They are almost over the island as she lifts off the runway.

"Lady Blackhawk, what the devil are you doing?! I told you to stay put!" Blackhawk barks over the radio.

"Some other time, Blackhawk." She replies as she strafes the creature, but the two or three hit's just appear to bounce off its hide.

"Get back on the ground, that's an order!" Blackhawk barks as they pass over the runway. "We got this!" He says as he dives down in front of the creature, only for it to return fire with a beam of red light coming from it's eyes that strikes Blackhawk's plane blowing it to smithereens to the shouts and complaints from the others.

Olaf I the next to go as the creature turns its head and repeats the treatment on his plane, sending him crashing into their barracks. Hans and Stanislau are apparently just smashed out of the sky as if a great invisible weight had landed on them. Chuck, out of his mind with rage and grief resorts to take the creature head on and flies straight into it, bringing them both to the ground.

"Hope we got it." Weng mutters over the radio as he and Zinda circle the wreckage at the start of the runway. "NO! NO! GET AWAY! AAAARRRGGGG…!" He suddenly shouts and screams as he looses control of his plane. "GET THEM OFF! THEY ARE ALL OVER ME! HEL…!" He doesn't finish his cry as he crashes into the jungle.

"WENG? WENG!" Zinda shouts as she looks down on Chuck's wreckage and sees the creature stroll out of the inferno. She circles around and opens up with everything she has, but the creature just stops and watches her. Zinda keeps the trigger down, not noticing that the guns have stopped firing before she realizes she has lost control of her plane.

The monster just holds out its hand and her plane slows down and heads towards it to stop completely a foot away from it. Zinda quickly pops open her cockpit and fires several shots at the creature's head with her pistol, but the bullets just bounce off and she is quickly out of ammunition.

"Time for you to run away little girl. Tell your masters who did this. And know the end of all things mortal is now." Zinda collapses in her seat from the pain in her mind.

When she is able to think and see again, she is far over the sea and the radio is screaming at her to come back, accusing her of cowardice and half a dozen other things she can barely hear as she turns in her seat to look back at Blackhawk Island, now a tiny dot on the horizon. There is a flash, and Zinda is left to watch the mushroom cloud rise high above the ocean, the radio transmits only static.

Zatanna:

She is at her wits end, everything had gone wrong and everyone was laughing at her. This was supposed to have been her biggest performance of her carrier, half-time performance at the Superbowl, with thousands of live spectators and millions back home. And she had spent a month preparing for this show, getting everything ready, making sure she had all the props, that the lights were in order and that her mind was in order.

She made her appearance in a cloud of smoke and to the applause of the audience. And then, first the lights shorted out for a moment only seconds into her performance and continued to play up, even worse, none of her tricks, genuine or magical worked the way she wanted them to. Sleight of hand tricks where she dropped the item or didn't hide them properly, pulling stuff and items out of her hat either failed entirely or came out the wrong way, like the dove that came out her mouth instead. People were booing at first and then started laughing as she continued to try and get something to work or for someone to rush in and stop her. Eventually she snapped, close to tears she tried to make herself vanish, only for all of her clothes to vanish, leaving her butt naked on the stage and the laugh of everyone watching.

And worse still, she was the main show that was supposed to floor the audience after her assistant of normally limited talent and clumsy execution had warmed them all up, and she had pulled off all of her tricks flawlessly.

Beastboy:

He's standing on the shore with his new friend and watches his parents sail down the jungle river. They had found her wandering around the jungle a few days ago looking for her own family. Garfields father didn't even know there were other people in his area and he worried that she had been abandoned in the jungle because of how she looked. Around here he knew abnormal children were usually disposed of in the wilds in this manner, and she was certainly abnormal with her red skin and four yellow eyes. He had further speculated the change had only come recently due to her age.

"You miss them already?" She asks him as if knowing he always had a small fear of them not coming back.

"They will be back." He replies.

"Are you sure?" She continues, making him look at her in question. "Mine didn't."

"Sure I'm sure." He smirks confidently.

She smirks a little as the first shout of alarm reaches them.

Cyborg:

"Get away from her you freak!" Victor's nice day was just spoiled when a guy looking exactly like him had shown up and pushed him away from Sarah, a girl he had went to school with.

"What the hell man?!" Victor asks as he pushes the other guy back as Sarah suddenly screams making him look at her in confusion before he sees his hands turn to metal and circuits.

"See, a freak like you scares people, get lost!" The double snap angrily as Sarah runs over to hide behind him.

"Thank heaves you came Victor." Sarah mutters.

"Sarah… I'm Victor." Cyborg tries.

"Really?" The double asks. "Pff. Look at you! You ain't no man. Your all metal and plastic." He ays and points at Victor. "Real man ain't made of that! You wanna be a man, get rid of it!"

"But… I'd die without them?"

"Ha! Then you ain't no real man." The double smirks as a second pair of eyes opens on his and Sarah's foreheads.

Black Canary:

"Stop! Please stop it!" She shouts while covering her ears as the phantoms swirl around her, phantoms of Oliver, of Roy, of her friends and loved ones, even her long dead mother, the first Black Canary. All of them taunting her, blaming her for their deaths and her many failings in their eyes.

"A brick would be more of use with a phone than you." Oracle hisses as she drifts by.

"Unworthy." Lady Shiva moans as she passes.

"Why didn't you stop me?!" Roy demands as his famished ghost drifts away, bearing all the marks of a deceased junkie.

"Stop! STOP IT!" Dinah cries as she lets loose her cry, blasting the phantoms away leaving her alone to sink to her knees.

"It is all your fault." Green Arrow whispers from the dark as the phantoms come back.

"You know honey, all of this would go away, with this." Dinah looks up as a very solid looking Roulette who holds up a tiny transmitter, the same kind she got from the League, the same kind Roulette used to control her. "What's the worst that could happen?" Roulette asks with a smirk.

Manhunter:

"Your Honor, you can't be serious about this?!" Kate Spencer shouts in protest as the judge, a shady individual had just ordered the release of every single person Kate Spencer had put behind bars and ordered every single one of those she had helped to avoid prison to be arrested and jailed.

"I am very serious Kate Spencer aka Manhunter! You're a vigilante and every single piece of evidence you have brought before the courts are useless! Officers, take her away!" The judge shouts. "And Kate is grabbed from behind by two police officers.

"Get off me!" Kate shouts and fights back as the judge just smiles while a pair of eyes shine under the wig, all the while the inmates laugh and the arrested wail.

Wonder Woman:

Diana awakens to the cries of seagulls and the sound of the ocean though its smell is mixed with smoke. To her it smells like home, but the smoke makes her bolt upright. To her horror, she is home, but Themyscira is nothing but a scorched ruin now. Diana quickly takes to the skies to get a better view and find out where her people were had gone, but there is no trace of them. There is no movement within the city and there are no bodies lying in the street. With more urgency, Diana zooms into the palace, passing the scorched throne room with the defaced statue of Athena before she reached the open passage leading to Dooms Door.

Arriving in the vast cavern, Diana can tell something is wrong here as well, there is no tracks around her to indicate the presence of the Amazon army and at the far end of the cavern is a tiny yellow light. Flying to the Door, Diana finds yet another mystery; a beam of light stands before the Door that is left gaping open and dark. Within the beam of light lies a helmet Diana has no trouble recognizing, it is the one that belongs to Hades. Diana lifts he item out of the ash that buried left half of it, only to find the buried half to bear a puncture mark just under where the horn was mounted. In her heart, despite all the pain he had caused her, her mother and her people, Diana is still saddened; as she realizes the helmet marked the place where Hades made his final stand.

"Rest well Lord Hades." She mutters as she puts the helmet down where she found it, though she wasn't sure who could have done this or what his death would mean. Then she looks at Dooms Door and wonders if the other side held some kind of clue and opts to investigate. She stops before the portal, feeling uneasy in the face of the gaping emptiness and the chill she feels coming from it. Instead of entering she puts a hand through first, but barely holds it in for a second before she pulls it to herself again due to the immense cold that had kissed it. While she massages her hand to get the warmth back into it, she is filled with dread and confusion; Tartarus was not supposed to feel like that. "I have to know." She mutters to herself as she gets out her Lasso and ties one end around her own waist and the other around a column before she puts on foot through the portal along with her head and almost falls through as she puts it down. She is quick to yank herself back, shivering if cold she collapses on her hands and knees before the Door.

"It can't be… It's not possible." She stammers as she tries to think of some other explanation, that Tartarus had simply been moved or that the Door now lead somewhere else. But deep down she fears the reality is that Tartarus was no more, someone had done the unspeakable and sent the mighty prison crashing into the endless depths of the Abyss, along with everyone in it.

"Champion… come quickly… save us!" Diana snaps her head up at the voice of Athena as it rings, tired, scared and desperate in her head.

"Goddess, where are you? I will be there as soon as I can." Diana replies.

"Athens… please hurry!" The goddess replies and Diana leaves the island only a moment later.

Dr. Fate

He keeps chanting, he has to in order to keep himself and Nightwing safe and he can't stop, not now that she had become aware of them.

"I believe I might have to congratulate you Mister Nelson, sending all those people against me, people you knew wouldn't stand a chance." The voice of Carnage reaches him, making him look into the night that surrounds him and Nightwing only to see the demon materialize out of the darkness in front of him, placing her hands on her back and causally walking towards them, he keeps chanting. "And now you proud and powerful mage, sit in there, doing nothing while others are loosing their minds within mine." She says as she stops in front of him before taking out a hand and pokes a finger at the barrier that's separating her from him, caring nothing for the small sparks of power that flies from the shield.

"Tell me something Dr. Fate; do I scare you? Do you normally fear me whenever I have visited your tower? When I've gone on missions with Zatanna and you? Does it concern you about what could happen when I've shared a pot of tea with Inza?" Kent can't help it, but just for a fraction of a second he reacts to the mention. Carnage reacts instantly and lashes out with a beam of black power, but Fate just manages to resume his chanting and the attack bounces off the barrier, while part of his mind knows his weakness just made it all worse.

"Hmm. Other means appear to be needed then." Carnage rumbles. "Ah yes." She says to herself before she opens a portal to somewhere else and stands in front of it for a few moments with closed eyes. She then relaxes for a second before she quickly reaches into the portal and pulls a startled Inza through it. "Hi Inza." Carnage smirks at her.

Nightwing:

"This is not good." He says to himself as he regards his surroundings. He had been expected to end up in the same place they always ended up in when entering Raven's head, with Azerath hanging in the sky and the stone path in front of him. But right now, all he can see is white, the sky is white above him and around him is a strangely curving hill landscape that's oddly flat between the two ridges in front of him.

It takes him some effort to climb the hill behind him before he can get a full view of the place he's in, but only finds that he is standing on an outcrop of some kind that stands alone in a world devoid of features and color.

"RAE?!" He shouts. "RAVEN!" He tries again, but there's not even an echo. "ANYONE?" He shouts as he turns around and starts walking across the ridge to the other end. He stops three quarters of the way as he thought he felt a slight tremor in the ground before moving on, the last stretch he notes the ground seems slightly different, as if it was softer somehow. "Nothing." He sighs at the sight that greets him. "Wish Fate or J'onn were here." He mutters while thinking about what to do now, as he takes a wrong step, he looses his footing and everything suddenly happens very fast as he slides down the slope before being launched into the air as it suddenly stops, only his training saves him as he gets hold of the edge to stop him from falling to his doom. "What the... ?" He stops trying to climb back up as he looks at what he couldn't see from above. From where he is hanging he can see purple hair and gray skin an looking down he finds Raven lying with closed eyes and of simply gigantic proportions. It wasn't an outcrop at all he had spent the last hour on, it was Raven.

Richard is quick to get out a grapple and attach it to the line running from his left arm and begins lowering himself, knowing that to Raven he would be no bigger than a millimeter and possibly look like a tiny spider.

"Rae!" He shouts. "RAE! Wake up!" He shouts, but Raven remains still making him realize she probably couldn't even hear him with the difference in size. "Barking flea." He thinks and lowers himself as far as his line allows him before he has it release the grapple to fall the last few feet to land on Raven's nose, getting only a groan from her. "I have to do something more if I am going to wake her." He thinks as he readies another grapple before he picks out all of his smoke grenades and walks to the edge of Raven's nose and waits. He hurls the pellets as Raven starts to inhale, sucking them in, before he fires his grapple at her shoulder and pulls himself away as the pellets do their thing.

Raven sniffs slightly before Nightwing grabs hold of the cloak and then it happens. "ACHOO!" Raven's sneeze and abrupt awakening forces Nighwing to hold on for dear life as she sits up and sneezes again while looking bleary eyed and confused, while Nightwing has to shift his hold as she moves in order to remain hanging.

"Wha…?" Raven mutters as she looks across her empty surroundings and is seemingly struck with an unhappy reminder.

"Have to be quick before she lies down again." Nightwing thinks as he pulls out a flare and fires it across Raven's face.

"What?" Raven blinks as the tiny flare passes her eyes, making her look to the side but finds nothing, Nightwing fires another straight up into the air, making her look down to the tiny spec hanging on her shoulder.

"HI RAE!" Richard shouts and waves, hoping her acute hearing would now be able to hear him.

"Richard?" Raven asks in bewilderment as she lifts a hand up that he can jump into, she has to strain her eyes to see him. "How? Why are you so small?" Richard is nearly blown off her palm by her words, making him bounce over the many lines that makes up her hand print. "Sorry." She mutters as she lifts her hand so she won't be exhaling onto it.

"RAE, WE ARE IN BIG TROUBLE!" He shouts while noting that he was going to be sore after that tumble.

"Tell me about it… I can't get out of this place." She replies.

Next Chapter: What is Carnage's goal? Will the League escape? What is real? All that and more in Carnage Victorious!
