Rule #1, Superjerks: No people from other dimensions.
Batman nodded to Martian Manhunter, whom was standing by the very machinery that could make or break the League, signaling the Martian to turn it on. The green man hesitated slightly, seeing how he had many horrible experiences with this machine, but still turned it on.
The circle shaped contraption before Batman lit up in a purple swirl, commencing the job of opening in another dimension.
"Are you sure about this, Batman?" Superman quietly asked his old friend, standing beside the Bat himself.
Batman's frown never faltered. "Doomsday and Deathstroke have captured the rest of the Justice League. With those two working together, we need all the help we can get."
Superman's frown matched Batman's own now. "Can't we call in Young Justice? They seem to know how to worm into the hearts of villains."
Batman glared darkly at Superman, then chose to ignore him as someone stepped through the portal in front of them.
It was Batman himself. Older, darker, and somewhat more hunched over, but there was no denying it was the Bat. After him came an older version of the Red Hood, then a tall man dressed in all black suit with a blue bird on his chest, then two young boys that looked as if they were both Robins.
Superman quirked an eyebrow at this odd bunch, but Batman's face merely continued emotionless.
"Where are we?" The alternate Batman growled as soon as the portal behind him closed, trapping him and his companions in this new dimension.
"Earth-16. We need your help." Batman answered before Superman could make a fool of himself.
At his words, the Red Hood from the other Dimension stepped forward, clearly holding a gun underneath his jacket. "Earth-16 you say. There wouldn't happen to be a Kid Flash, Talisman, Deadpool, and other me here that travel through dimensions, would there?"
Batman's eyes narrowed at the 'innocent' question, but before he could answer, the wall to their temporary hideout was blown up and Kid Flash stood; wearing his stealthy suit may add; there, pointing down at the heroes.
"You see, Slade! I told you they'd be getting reinforcements!" Kid Flash yelled, getting a growl from the Bat.
Why in the blue hell would he risk the Earth's fate now?
None other than Deathstroke stepped up through the rubble, placing a hand on Kid Flash's shoulder. "You have done very good, child. Maybe I will not kill you after I conquer the Earth."
Kid Flash's smug smile fell at these words as he took a step back. "Whoah, Mr. Terminator, I didn't think we'd be submitting the Earth to your rules. I just thought we would catch the League breaking one of the rules."
These words actually made all the adults there stare at Kid Flash, all of them stunned at what he had just said. "Excuse me?" Deathstroke asked.
Kid Flash shrugged and dug his hands in pockets that should not have been attached to his tights. "Well the League screwed my Team over with a bunch of rules so we're just getting some revenge. And one of the rules is no visitors from other dimensions."
And with those words, Red Hood and Deadpool suddenly appeared behind the other dimensions Bat Family and kidnapped them, leaving Kid Flash smiling as they disappeared.
Batman growled dangerously as he saw their last hope leaving them while Deathstroke stared at Kid Flash. "You would really put the whole Earth in risk for vengeance?"
Kid Flash smiled cheekily at him. "Yep. See ya." And with that Kid Flash was gone, leaving Deathstroke with three unnerved heroes.
"Well, that was-"
"Oh, I forgot something else, Slade." Kid Flash appeared out of nowhere, standing beside Deathstroke once more. "While you hunted these guys down we liberated the captured Leaguers and took down Doomsday. Thanks for the help."
And with that he was gone once more, leaving Deathstroke completely dumbfounded. "Just how much does this Team of yours hate you?"
Rule #2: No drinks.
"Man, a beer after a long day's work is just what I need!" Green Arrow exclaimed as he threw himself in a plastic chair of the Watchtower's Cafeteria, Vigilante, Flash, and Plastic Man nodding beside him.
All the men had their beers in hand and were about to open them, only to have them suddenly blow up in their faces.
The four heroes blinked in shock and confusion as the liquid that was supposed to be in their mouths ran down their hands, all utterly surprised.
"What. Was. That?" Green Arrow asked, blinking in shock.
Far away from where they sat, Red Hood shared a high five with M'gann.
Rule #3: No using powers to erase citizens memories.
"Okay, Mesmera. All I need you to do is erase her mind of the past two days and we'll be in the clear." Superman told the young woman as Lois Lane sat before them, blindfolded, gagged, and restrained.
"You sure about this, Superman?" The white haired woman asked, turning slightly to look at the Man of Steel.
"I am extremely sure, Mesmera. Now, come on, do what you do best." He nudged the woman forward, who nodded and stuck her hands out.
Her bright blue eyes became white as she prepared to erase Lois Lane's memory, but before she could do so, a white smoke bomb blew up before Superman and when it was gone, so was the young hero.
"What the?" He asked in shock, then looked down at the floor to find a small business card.
'I took Mesmera. She's cute. I think I'll get ice cream with her. -Robin.'
Superman's scream of rage was heard all the way in the Watchtower.
Regla número four chimichanga: Your sidekicks are your responsibility. If they end up lost/kidnapped/taken by Jason, the ex-Young Justice, or myself, it is only your fault!
"Okay, Artie. I just need you to behave for tonight. Just tonight and I'll get you whatever you want." Ollie pleaded with Artemis, who was sitting down in his couch. "Just don't give Gloria any trouble and you'll get what you want."
The blonde rolled her eyes at the thought of needing a babysitter, especially one that was so old and prudish, but still nodded when Ollie gave her the puppy dog eyes.
"I'll behave." She mumbled, making Ollie smile and grasp her hands.
"Thanks, Artie! Remember, this is my last chance with Dinah! If anything screws this up, I'm never going to get her back!"
"I know, Ollie..." Artemis murmured, but it's not like the man heard her. He had already closed the door before she even answered.
"Okay, Arthura." Artemis' babysitter, a middle aged woman with a few streaks of white in her black hair, walked into the room just then, holding a bucket and mop. "Time to do chores."
Artemis groaned as soon as she said that, but before Gloria could scold her, then main door to the Queen Mansion burst open, revealing Jason, Wally, and Robin dressed in civilian attire.
"Unhand the teenager, you monster!" Wally pointed menacingly at Gloria, making the woman drop her cleaning supplies. "No teen should ever have to clean their parents mess!"
"To freedom, Artemis! We must screw up your father's date so Dinah never accepts him!" Jason announced as he ran into the house, threw Artemis over his shoulder, and ran out once more.
As soon as he was clear, Robin ran after him, but Wally stayed behind. "We'll have her back before midnight." He said, then ran after his friends.
Gloria just blinked in shock.
Regla número quinta chimichanga!: You aren't allowed to arrest or track down anti-heroes or mercenaries that are not Deathstroke.
"Deadpool, do you understand your rights?" Wonder Woman asked a restrained Deadpool, whom was semi-conscious.
"Chimichangas are delicious~"
"Unhand the delirious idiot, Diana!"
Wonder Woman stiffened and sighed as she turned around. "Which child is it now?" She asked herself, only to find Red Hood standing before her, aiming at her with his handguns. "What do you want Red Hood?"
"The restrained idiot named Deadpool." Red Hood growled back.
Wonder Woman just rolled her eyes and took the handcuffs off Deadpool. "All yours."
With that she flew off, leaving Red Hood with a delirious Deadpool. "Did you pay my hooker to leave? We were having all kinds of fun!"
"Stop following me, Super Jackass!" Red Hood growled as he jumped from building to building, Superman hot on his trail.
"You killed a senator, Red Hood! It's my job to turn you in!" Superman yelled back as he flew past the ex-Bat, hoping that the capture of Jason wouldn't turn up many surprises.
As he got closer to the young man and was almost able to grasp him, a sudden scream of "Kryptonite barrage!" stopped him dead in his tracks.
Red Hood smirked from inside his helmet as he jumped for cover behind an air conditioning unit, all the while Superman stayed floating in space.
"Special delivery from the Bat Cave!"
Suddenly Superboy was standing before Superman with a giant bazooka on his shoulder, making Red Hood chuckle.
"Now Conner, please think about this-"
"Nope."
And the gun was activated, blasting Superman with kryptonite.
Please review.
