Chapter 71 – Doomsday
Inside a small cafe in the city of Metropolis one of the largest and wealthiest cities on earth eight young people were eating lunch. They're a group of teenagers who discover that their parents are part of an evil crime group called the Pride. Originally a group of six kids whose parents routinely met every year for a charity event. One year, the kids spy on their parents and learn they are "the Pride", a criminal group of mob bosses, time-travelers, dark wizards, mad scientists, alien invaders and telepathic mutants. The kids steal weapons and resources from their parents, and learn they themselves inherited their parents' powers; Alex Wilder, a prodigy, leads the team while Nico Minoru learns she is a powerful witch, Karolina Dean discovers she is an alien, Gertrude Yorkes learns of her telepathic link to a dinosaur, Chase Stein steals his father's futuristic gloves, while young Molly Hayes learns she is a mutant with incredible strength. The kids band together and defeat their parents, and atone for the sins of their parents by fighting the new threats trying to fill in the Pride's void. With the deaths of Alex they are later joined by cyborg Victor Mancha, plant-manipulator Klara Prast, and shape-shifting Skrull, Xavin.
Nico Minoru like every member of the original Runaways, Nico is the daughter of the super-powered villains calling themselves "the Pride"; in her case, she is the daughter of dark wizards. Upon finding out, Nico runs away with the rest of the runaways but later discovers that she inherited her parents' magical aptitude. Whenever Nico bleeds, a powerful staff emerges from her chest, allowing Nico to bend magic. Nico is the de facto leader of her unofficial and nameless superhero team, making her one of the few Japanese-American superhero team leaders. Nico's trademark is her elaborate and ornate Gothic wardrobe. Nico is a sorceress like her parents and great-grandmother before her and can cast nearly any spell imaginable with her Staff. Nico uses her talents to make up for her parents' villainous actions and to prevent anyone from assuming the Pride's place at the top of Los Angeles organized crime. Out of all the Runaways, Nico is arguably the most recognized.
Karolina Dean like every member of the original Runaways, she is the daughter of evil super-powered criminals; while searching through her parent's home, Karolina inadvertently discovers she's an alien, and the daughter of alien invaders. Often called "Kar" or "K" for short is known for her free spirit and kind nature. She is a vegan and peace keeper, and once mentioned as being a protester. Karolina is significant in the group in that she is its sole homosexual. She used to be the only extraterrestrial in the group, but since after leaving and returning to Earth with her Skrull fiancee Xavin, Karolina now takes comfort in having another alien. Like all Majesdanians, Karolina's natural form is luminous, iridescent, and visually fluid, often depicted with waves of rainbow-like light floating off her body, (describe by Chase like a burning painting) though body structure is essentially humanoid. Originally, Karolina required a custom made medic alert bracelet constructed of an unspecified alien metal to revert to humanoid form. However, after spending many months on Majesdane, Karolina learned to control the change and can make it at will. In her Majesdanian form, Karolina is able to manipulate solar energy absorbed by her body to generate forcefields capable of stopping cave-ins, gunfire, large concussive blasts, and fine laser-like beams. Karolina can also increase the heat of her concussive blasts to the melting point of steel. Like her parents, Karolina learned the ability to bind people, binding a New Pride in a colourful sphere. Karolina's Majesdanian form also grants her the ability to fly. During an encounter with the vampire Topher, it is revealed that Karolina's blood also harbors solar energy-based properties, since drinking her blood caused Topher to combust. Karolina's weakness is that her powers have a finite charge. If she is in her Majesdanian form too long or exerts her powers too much, her glow will start to fade and revert her to human form until she uses the sun's rays to recharge.
Molly Hayes like every member of the original Runaways, she is the daughter of evil villains with special abilities; after the other older Runaways learn more about themselves, they raid Molly's home to find out her mutant abilities had already manifested. Often called "Mol" for short, Molly is the youngest Runaway and her innocence usually serves as humor of the group, but she has demonstrated great insight at critical moments. Her trademark is an expansive lineup of hats that she always wears. Molly's mutant powers include super strength and invulnerability, with which she has toppled a giant monster bigger than skyscrapers, tunneled through miles of rock, and broken solid objects over her head. While in her powered form, Molly's hair gains a purple "hayes" and her eyes glow violet. Like fellow mutant Colossus, Molly must consciously activate her powers when she wants to use them and also displays a change of physical appearance when using those powers. However, Molly can only use her powers for a limited amount of time before she becomes extremely fatigued and falls asleep. When she first used her powers, Molly fell asleep after only throwing one punch, but as the series continued, Molly has been able to use her powers for increasingly longer periods of time and to greater extremes without tiring. Nico once used the Staff of One to give Molly a caffeine rush while fighting a giant monster to keep her awake longer.
Chase Stein like every member of the original Runaways, he is the son of evil villains with special abilities; in Chase's case, mad scientists. Chase is often regarded as the "wild card" of the group, due to his often changing role in the group, from being the getaway guy and technical guru to the "loose cannon" after he departed the group for a short while. However, despite his rule-breaking persona, Chase is fiercely loyal to his friends and remains a valued member of the team. Chase is the eldest of the Runaways at age 18. Chase shares a psychic and empathic link with deinonychus Old Lace, granting him the ability to command the dinosaur to do his bidding and also possesses the Fistigons, the world's most powerful gauntlets.
Gertrude Yorkes like every member of the original Runaways, she is the daughter of evil villains with special abilities; in Gert's case, time-travellers. Gertrude, often called "Gert" for short, is often regarded as the most "book-smart" of the Runaways yet also the most sarcastic and cynical. She has socialist leanings and although ethnically Jewish, Gert is agnostic. Gert is bespectacled and somewhat overweight, contrary to the typical notion of superheroines appearing physically fit and conventionally beautiful, making Gert unique among the heroines. Gert is known for her sarcastic one-liners, a pair of glasses, and brown dyed purple hair. Gert has no physical powers, but a mental link with Old Lace. Old Lace, a genetically engineered dinosaur from the 87th century, has a telepathic and empathic bond with Chase and Gert.
Victor Mancha not one of the original Runaways, Victor grew up believing he was a normal kid, with a mother working three jobs and a dad he believed was a U.S. marine who died when he was just a baby. As it turns out, Victor's father was the villainous killing machine Ultron, and Victor himself was an android. The Runaways first heard of Victor Mancha as a boy who would grow up to become the villainous "Victorious", a man who would rule the world after total genocide. Due to his prophesied betrayal, Victor was kept under close surveillance when he first joined the team, but has since been accepted as a full-fledged member. He is the team's only Latino member and one of two members who can pilot the Leapfrog, the Runaways' mode of transportation. Victor Mancha is a cyborg, created from the DNA of Marianella Mancha and the technology of Ultron. Victor was constructed using advanced nanite technology that will evolve and mature with Victor into adulthood so that his robotic innards will transform into artificial human organs, indistinguishable from real ones. Ultron created Victor with several computer-related abilities, including a high level of intelligence, vast amounts of hard drive memory (which Victor refers to as photographic memory), and the ability to communicate with other machines directly. Victor also possesses some level of superhuman strength, incredible speed, a powerful jumping ability, and an automated self-repair function.
Xavin had first appeared to the Runaways, taking on the form of a black male, but changed into a black female just for the sake of Karolina Dean, a lesbian to which she was to marry. Regardless, Xavin is also often seen as a male, simply to be "intimidating". Xavin, often called "Xav" for short, is known for his obnoxious and warlike personality. He had originally found it hard to fit in with the runaways because of her constant gender switching, and adapted to the group fairly slowly. He is the son of the famed Skrull Prince De'zean. Xavin, being a Skrull, has the Skrull natural ability to shape-shift. Xavin was a Super-Skrull in training, meaning she can manifest the powers of the Fantastic Four:
Klara Prast is the newest member of the group. When the time-displaced Runaways landed in 1907, they meet twelve year-old Klara, who had to live to serve her abusive middle-aged husband. Klara's ability is to control, or "talk to" (as she puts it), plants. Her name may be a play on the word chloroplast, relating to her plant powers. When her family discovered her powers, they married her off to someone moving to America, (even though she was still a child), where she ran into the time displaced Runaways in 1907, who later brought her back to the present with them. Klara is roughly Molly's age, has a signature jet-black hair twisted in a braid, and gray eyes.
Curently they're watching the news as they ate from the tv that hanged from the ceiling. They're glued to the Blue Blade show as he raced around the base of those women who have been draining people of their energy. He and the group he's with are making their way through what looks like a warehouse as the Rei's search for them. Then the channel was cut off for a news flash.
"Hey!" Molly said as she wanted to see what happens.
"This is just in, Kittybat the daughter of Batman and Catwoman have been kidnap by the Joker. All heroes are ask to be on the lookout for Joker and contact the Avengers or the JL. And Catwoman before she left to search for her daughter said that any villain who sees the Joker there's a 3 million reward for the safe return of Kittybat," the newswoman said.
"3 million," Chase said rubbing his chin.
"Don't even think about it," Gertrude said. "Joker is way out of our level. He's the most feared villain of the other heroes world."
"But if we see him we should do something," Klara said.
"If we see Joker, Nico can turn him into a frog," Karolina said.
"I can't change people into frogs," Nico said.
"I can put him into a force bubble," Xavin said.
"Good idea from what I read about him, Joker always has something up his sleeve," Victor said.
"Well it's not like he's going to show up anywhere near here," Gertrude said as a boom tube like portal opens outside the cafe that the others saw as Gertrude had her back to the window. Seeing the looks on their faces she quickly put two together. "Let me guess there's something happening right behind me isn't there?."
"HAHAHA!" the sound of laughter could be heard as a car came flying out of the portal and took off like a rocket down the road.

In the Daily Planet -
Dick Jones was ex-All American fullback, ex-collegiate boxing, wrestling and fencing champ. He actually has three identities: Dick Jones, reporter; Van Engen, millionaire; and Phantom Reporter, costumed crime fighter. After being gassed, cryonically-frozen, and discovered during a construction project and finding himself in the year 2008 and dealt with the modern world. Phantom Reporter struggles to deal with his growing sexual attraction to Black Widow, who was also recently awaken in the year 2008. Soon, he is offered a job with the Daily Bugle. For the editors at the Bugle, the Phantom Reporter's first-hand experience of America's past specifically all the good and ill that was present will be invaluable to their readers. He accepts the job, writing his first article on the sacrifice and patriotism of his generation of heroes.
He was visiting the planet for some notes on Superman and the other heroes of the other world. He's planning on doing a story comparing the heroes from his world to the heroes of the other world. But thank to the Rei sisters draining the energy from villains and heroes alike, the heroes that were still standing had the pick up the slack till the other heroes recover. He being a reporter along with being a hero went back to crime fighting where he left off before the war started, making headlines instead of just writing them.
"Is Blue Blade like Nightcreep?" Lois ask Dick sitting at her desk both watching the Blue Blade show with him running around the Rei's base.
"Well for his time he was," Dick said. He wore his hero suit but had his mask in his coat's pocket.
"Yo...," Lois began but stop when her cell phone rang. "Excuse me."
"Sure," Dick said.
"What?" Lois said as she heard the news from Clark. "Okay I contact you if I hear anything."
"What happen?" Dick ask.
"Batman and Catwoman's daughter Kittybat has been taken by Joker," Lois explains.
"Kittybat? The girl who blasted that fellow, Jeffro with that beam attack?" Dick ask.
"Yes and if Joker manages to get her to do something like that again we're all in trouble," Lois said.
"Lois there's a chase downtown with some young heroes chasing after a car," Jimmy shouted as he runs over to them.
"Let's get to the news van," Lois said smelling a story.
"I'll come to," Dick said as he pulls out his mask and puts it on. "I may not be Superman but I was saving the day long before him."
"I see kicking butt old school style," Jimmy said leading the way.

Downtown -
A portal opened above the street and two figures came dropping out of it. Ash and his sidekick landed in the location that Sam said that would be where to find Kittybat. The other heroes were all busy combing New York for Joker, leaving Ash alone. Not wanting to be left out Ash gave Sam a wake up call using his chainsaw killing him but he came back to life after a few seconds. Sam had picked up a spell for portals from one place to another and wanted to use it. Which is why they ended up in Metropolis since that what Sam ask the portal to take them to the Joker.
"Okay now where is..." Ash began to say but stop seeing what's in front of him.
"Oh cool it's the guy with the chainsaw arm," Chase said standing in front of the car that was now on it's side. Molly and Klara were with Kittybat who had woken up as she had slept through the whole thing. The other Runaways were keeping a close watch over Joker who's wrap in rose vines and covered by a force field.
Ash got his first look at what many of the heroes from that guy in the bat suit, is the most feared villain. The man in the force field is a twisted, clownish version of the clowns that made people laugh, tall, and lean. His short hair a bright green, his skin bleached pure white, his eyes a dark, blood-red and his face twisted in a crazed, perpetual grin. He wore a purple zoot-suit, consisting of a coat and pants, with dark purple shoes, and a light orange shirt under the jacket, with a blue bow-tie, purple gloves and a purple flower pinned to the jacket.
"Nice going kids," Sam said causing Klara to hide behind Molly seeing half of his body burnt.
"You look like that Two-Face guy but shorter," Nico said.
"Yeah, yeah," Ash said as he walks over to Joker turning his chainsaw on. "Alright clown spill it what were you planning?"
Joker look up sporting a grin. "Sorry but all I did was following what I agreed to. I must say being use as part of a plan is a rare thing for me but once I learn that old Batty's daughter would be the target, I agreed to follow suit. I was ask to bring her here and wait for Superman to come."
"That would explain the teleporter," Victor said looking over the small teleporter that Joker use to get from New York to Metropolis.
"Looks like we miss the whole thing," Lois said as she, Jimmy and Phantom Reporter walked over to them from the park news van.
"Are you okay?" Phantom Reporter ask Kittybat.
"I was sleeping and woke up here," she answers not really understanding anything or why the funny clown was all tied up.
"Hey look it's Superman!" Molly shouted spotting a flying figure dress in blue and red coming towards them.
"That's not Superman," Lois said as she could make out the chalky appearance of the flying man. "It's Bizarro."
"Bizarro is here to saved the day," Bizarro said landing in front of the group.
"Bizarro what are you doing here?" Lois ask as she already knows that from the files Frog-Man read off of the computer Bizarro, that thanks to some brain surgery he did everything backwards of what was ask for him to do which was fix. Returning him back to his simple minded self which is what he was like before.
"Pretty lady who fix me ask me to bring the kittygirl to her. She said that she is in danger. She be safe back at pretty lady's home," Bizarro said.
"Bizarro wait," Lois said as she puts herself between him and Kittybat. "You're a hero and she isn't in danger anymore."
"But pretty lady said to bring her so that she be safe," Bizarro said rubbing his head.
"While he's thinking we should bring Kittybat back to her parents," Ash said to Sam.
"Right," Sam said as he started to cast the portal spell again but stop when he felt something cutting off the flow.
"What's happening?" Jimmy ask as he looks skyward to see a red forcefield encasing the entire city like a ship in a bottle.
"The trap has been sprung but not for my target," a voice said from an alleyway.
"No," Lois said seeing the hulking figure walking out of the shadows. The being in front of her was gray in color that's very rock like, his head bald but for some patches of white steel wool like hair. His body is covered by bony spurs providing protection to his few vital organs (brain, eyes, nervous system) and acting as weapons on his hands, elbows and knees. The only items of clothes that he wore were green shorts and matching boots.
"I told Superman that I would make him wish that he killed me when he had the chance to. I had Joker bring the bait and set up the force field to stop anything from getting in or out. To only be sprung once Superman entered the city but looks like Bizzaro set it off. The trap has failed but I will tear this city apart and will make him suffer," Doomsday said his voice like death itself. (1)
"Yeah but I'm the one with the boom-stick," Ash said as he fires his Bomb-Lance at Doomsday's face, hitting him in his left eye before blowing up. The smoke cleared away revealing Doomsday unmarked from the blast that would had made Superman step back from such of a surprise attack.
"You don't get it do you. I am much more then Superman. You all are already dead," Doomsday said walking towards the group of heroes like a on coming rock-slide.

Author's Notes –
1 - Since Bizarro has the same DNA as Superman as he can use that data orb at the fortress he would set pff any trap that's locked onto Superman's DNA.
I know that I have the habit of writting my fics with the main star not showing up for a chapter or two or very little. But that's the style of story telling that I do. It can't always be just about the main star so I like to use the background cast alot instead of the other way around. It's like the Wheel of Time books, many chapters of the books don't have the main cast in it but it helps to move the stroy along and builds up the plot by adding background.
