We are soon shown Lois handling Bruce's wound.
"How could you have lied to me like that?" Lois scolded.
"Now, I never actually said I wasn't Batman," Bruce smirked which gave him a slap on the back. "OW!"
"Heh, serves you right, Bruce." Cherry smirked as she felt that was well deserved. She soon saw that the woman was angry with him.
"You wanna know what really galls me? I mean, beside the fact that the new man in my life is really two men, it's that I'm sitting on the hottest story of the year," The black-haired woman glared. "Batman Unmasked, and there's not a blessed thing I can do about it!"
"Then you really do love me." Bruce smiled at Lois.
"Uh, Lois, what about Clark?!" Cherry grinned nervously.
"I'll get some iodine for that scrape," Lois said before walking off. "Burning, stinging, iodine."
"That didn't answer my question." Cherry said.
"I see she's taking it well." Superman's voice said.
"Gah!" Cherry yelped and took a breath. "Superman, you scared the heck out of me, I thought you were a giant rat!"
"Seriously? You thought he was a giant rat?" Saiya Man's voice asked.
"Oh, my bad, that's just Bruce." Cherry replied.
"What is with you lately?" Bruce scolded before going towards Superman. "It's ironic, you know. She likes Bruce Wayne and she likes Superman, it's just the other two guys she's not too crazy about."
"Too bad we can't mix and match." Superman said.
"That would be interesting." Cherry muttered slightly.
"I'm not used to being rescued," Bruce said to The Man of Steel as he walked out towards the balcony. "...Thanks."
"I owed you one." Superman told him.
"That robot tonight, it came from Lex Corp; Cherry and I can prove it." Bruce said.
"That's why we're here," Superman said. "We thought you and Cherry might wanna help bring Luthor in."
"You mean... We can be friends again?" Sayia Man asked hopefully.
"Yes, you can be friends again." Superman told his godson.
"Yay!" Sayia Man beamed before he was about to hug Cherry, but refrained as she wasn't much of a hugger.
Cherry soon surprised him by smirking and hugging him. "I love you, you idiot."
"I love you too." Saiya Man smiled as he hugged her back.
"So... Um..." Cherry then said once out of the hug before looking to the two superheros. "Why don't you two work together?"
"A partnership?" Bruce replied. "You're all joking."
"Why do you say that?" Cherry complained.
Bruce looked to her with a small glance.
"That's why we're here honestly," Superman explained. "Actually, Sayia Man and I are having trouble finding Luthor, and I thought you might have some ideas."
"I might... She might not like this..." Bruce said before glancing to the door Lois went out of. "Me leaving so soon for another fight."
"Hmm..." Cherry hummed before Saiya Man made a perfect illusion of Bruce and Cherry.
"What in the...?" Bruce's eyes widened.
"Shh~..." Cherry told him. "I may not be Lois Lane's biggest fan, but this way, no one gets hurt."
"I love this power." Saiya Man smiled.
"Excellent... Excellent..." Cherry smirked before laughing a bit wickedly.
"...What the heck was that about?!" Sayia Man asked as the laugh sounded evil.
"Nothing... Let's go." Cherry said bashfully.
The four of them soon went off. Superman and Sayia Man flew into the sky while Batman and Lady Gothika took the jet plane, and where of course, the entrance to where they were headed wouldn't be open. Superman searched through it with his X-Ray vision.
"See anything?" Batman asked him.
"Luthor's bind his doors with lead, it blocks my X-Ray vision." Superman replied.
"That sucks." Lady Gothika commented.
"Well, there is always the direct approach." Saiya Man smirked as he cracked his knuckles.
Superman smirked back before they both beat the door down together.
"You're both learning." Batman smirked as he went inside with Lady Gothika before they followed.
"Hmm... This seems a little easy." Saiya Man said.
"A little trappish?" Lady Gothika asked.
"Not a word, but yes." Sayia Man said to her.
They soon walked inside to explore with Batman and Superman supervising them, and where soon Lady Gothika was right as the lights turned on and the giant robots of the same droid turned on. She soon smacked her hand to her mouth, feeling so stupid for saying her feelings out loud as that seemed to always get her into trouble. The droids soon broke out of their glass chamber and surrounded them.
"Time to take these droids down." Saiya Man smirked as he cracked his knuckles.
Batman, Superman, and Sayia Man soon began to fight.
"You know! You can help!" Sayia Man told Gothika.
"Very well..." Lady Gothika said before taking out a baseball bat like in an old cartoon. "Batter up!"
Just like in cartoons, it grew to size due to its opponents.
"Uh... I'm not scared of you... Giant robot thingy!" Lady Gothika glared, trying to sound tough. She began to swing the bat at the droids.
Of course, the guys settled this with their fists, refusing to go down and lose without a fight, and where the whole place shook.
"LG, you okay over there?" Sayia Man asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Lady Gothika told him.
They soon went back to fighting the droids. Superman soon grabbed a droid before throwing it.
"Man... Isn't Superman cool?" Sayia Man grinned to Lady Gothika.
"Hm." Lady Gothika smirked to him before gasping as something came behind him and he soon slammed her bat down on the droid behind him, even if he could've handled it himself, and where she soon saw that the droids had lasers and guns and where she dreamt up a crystal that could bounce both lasers and bullets back at the droids.
"Is that a crystal?" Superman asked.
"Uh-huh!" Lady Gothika smiled.
"What's it for?" Superman asked.
"You'll see." Lady Gothika smirked.
A droid soon came right in front of her.
"Come get me!" Lady Gothika challenged. "I'm not afraid of laser beams!"
The droid soon fired its laser at her which was what she wanted to happen so she would use her crystal. Lady Gothika brought out the crystal. The laser blast soon hit the crystal and bounced back, hitting the droid back from the bounce, destroying it.
"Yes!" Lady Gothika cheered.
Sayia Man smiled as he felt proud of his best friend before looking over with a small gasp. Superman was soon thrown against a wall by a droid which then came toward him. Saiya Man saw this and used his crystal power to take care of the droid. Another droid soon came beside Sayia Man and kicked him away against Superman only for its robot leg to be dented.
Superman soon looked up at the droid and used his laser eyes against it, cutting through the metal, destroying it and making it explode. Another droid soon shot like a shotgun towards the two right behind them. Saiya Man soon blocked the bullets letting them bounce right back. Superman grabbed one droid as the bullets bounced off of Sayia Man and decided to hit the shooting droid with that droid to destroy them both.
"Oh, yeah!" Sayia Man smiled.
Batman soon used his own gadgets and gizmos to defend himself against the droids that came for him next. Lady Gothika went to help her godfather. Two droids were soon shocked as Batman tossed chargers into them.
"Whoa... Nice..." Lady Gothika smiled.
"You weren't too bad yourself." Batman smirked to her.
"Heh... I know." Lady Gothika smirked back.
"I couldn't have done it better myself." Superman commented.
"I have a feeling there's one droid left." Saiya Man said.
Indeed, there was and it had a hostage attached to it.
"It's that lady!" Lady Gothika pointed out. "...I don't know who that is."
"Mercy." Superman told her.
"I knew it all along." Lady Gothika said.
This made the others face-palm slightly and even the teenagers face-palmed when they were told by Atticus of that moment in the story.
"Yeah... She didn't know." Atticus told them.
"Well, let's go." Lady Gothika said.
"You know we can't just leave her." Batman told her.
"Why not? We don't even know her!" Lady Gothika reminded him.
"She might know where Joker is." Saiya Man said.
Lady Gothika narrowed her eyes. "Fine, we'll help Percy."
"Mercy." Superman said.
"Whatever." Lady Gothika said.
Superman was just about to punch the droid, but it soon moved the woman in the way to make him back down. Saiya Man had an idea as he made illusions of himself and Superman to make the droid confused so it wouldn't know which one to stop from attacking. Superman looked over and Sayia Man shushed him and gestured for him to go with it, so he nodded and did so that they could beat this droid at its own game. The droid soon looked confused as there were so many Supermen and Sayia Men.
"You're surrounded!" Sayia Man mocked as the real one, but of course, the droid didn't know that.
"Jeez, I don't need a repeat of Too Many Pinkie Pies." Lady Gothika muttered.
The droid soon began to overload as it shut down from so many of the same two heroes. Sayia Man and Superman became one with each other once more.
"Ah, that was fun, but I'm a crowd." Superman chuckled to Sayia Man.
They soon got Mercy free and removed the tape from her mouth. Mercy winced slightly as removing tape was never really a pleasant experience for anybody.
"Where's Luthor?" Batman demanded.
"Joker took him into Lex-Wing, said he'd make him lose everything he'd ever built." Mercy informed, wearily.
"Uh, how much has Luthor built?" Lady Gothika asked Superman and Saiya Man.
"Half of Metropolis!" Sayia Man told her with wide eyes.
Suddenly the ceiling crumbled open and there came a big giant droid.
"This just isn't my day." Lady Gothika muttered.
"You should try what I went through since you two came into this town." Mercy huffed to her and Batman.
"You go after The Joker, we shouldn't be long." Superman told Batman and Lady Gothika, referring to himself and Saiya Man.
Batman and Lady Gothika soon ran off together while Mercy ran off in her own way while Superman and Sayia Man stayed put.
"Alright, let's take this droid down." Saiya Man said.
"You said it." Superman agreed.
The droid sent out a metal claw, only for them to jump and fly out of the way before they began to charge at it, and where it showed the other piece of the jade dragon. Superman of course flinched from that upon impact. Since he was distracted, the metal arm soon whacked him away. Saiya Man had enough of the Kryptonite and decided to use his magic now to make them immune to the substance.
The Joker's laughter was heard as he was destroying nearly everything in Metropolis just as Lady Gothika and Batman began to fly after him, both looking intimidated and annoyed.
"That guy's laugh is really annoying." Lady Gothika said.
"Worse this time from when we first met?" Batman asked.
"Ugh! Don't remind me of that!" Lady Gothika grumbled about her very first encounter with Gotham City which would then allow her to become Batman's goddaughter, but that was a story for another time.
Batman soon pushed a button from his shift which launched missiles towards the ship in front of them, exploding on impact and making the ship shake with The Joker, Harley Quinn, and Lex Luthor inside of it.
"Well, that only seemed to catch their attention." Lady Gothika said.
They soon flew right over the other ship.
"Batman! It's always Batman!" The Joker growled.
Lady Gothika leaned over and soon made some faces to mock The Joker and Harley Quinn to blow off some annoyed steam.
"Which one launches the missiles?" The Joker asked Lex.
"You're asking me for help?" Lex glanced.
"If I go down, you go down." The Joker smirked.
"It's the red switch." Lex then informed.
The Joker soon saw that there were a lot of them. "Which red-Ah, to heck with it!" he then grumbled before hitting all of the switches at once.
"Yow!" Lady Gothika yelped as a bunch of missiles fired towards her and Batman.
They were soon hit by one of the missiles.
"Well, this is a fine evening..." Lady Gothika mumbled slightly as they turned off course.
"Come with me." Batman told her as his fingertips seemed to become claws as they were going down, about to crash.
"No need to tell me twice." Lady Gothika said.
The two soon dropped down together which was rather scary, but they both managed to muster enough bravery to overcome it, latching onto the jet as the wind blew heavily on them both.
"Get down." Batman told his goddaughter before implanting a timed bomb.
"Already done." Lady Gothika said as she got down.
They both huddled while facing down as the bomb exploded, destroying most of the jet.
"You're sure the dragon won't affect me?" Superman asked Sayia Man due to the Kryptonite which was always a problem for him whenever it came to saving people and being indestructible from anything, except for that.
"I'm sure, right after this." Saiya Man said before reciting the spell.
"Really?" Superman asked.
"Trust me on this," Sayia Man said before clearing his throat. "Ahem! 'Superheroes come to feast to taste the flesh, Not yet deceased, They come in shapes, sizes, with friendly meekness, Rid Superman of his permanent weakness'!"
"Wow, that sounds kinda dark." Superman commented before suddenly getting hit with a wave of magic.
"Alright, now me," Saiya Man said as he was now going to do the same for himself. "'Superheroes come to feast to taste the flesh, Not yet deceased, They come in shapes, sizes, with friendly meekness, Rid me of my permanent weakness'!"
And where he was soon hit with the same spell.
"Now, time to get rid of that droid." Saiya Man smirked.
"I feel a little strange." Superman commented.
"Magic spells do that sometimes, but you'll be fine." Sayia Man promised.
They soon flew up to the big giant droid. The droid soon tried to hit them. Superman and Sayia Man soon crashed against the droid together to destroy it since the dragon couldn't hurt either of them anymore, and where the droid didn't seem to have its advantage anymore as it was defeated quicker than it would have. Superman and Sayia Man soon sat down together to take a small break due to the droid destruction they caused.
"I'm so glad I had that memorized." Sayia Man said in relief.
"I'm happy for that too." Superman smiled.
"I think that dragon is no more too." Sayia Man then said as the dragon crumbled into pieces and seemed useless even more than it was now.
"We better hurry and catch up with Batman and Lady Gothika." Superman told his godson.
"Mm... All right." Sayia Man said before taking a quick stretch before he would fly off with Superman.
The Joker grinned as he continued to pilot before getting suddenly grabbed by his arch nemesis which made Harley Quinn gasp, and where she was soon handled by Lady Gothika.
"Hiii, Harls~" Lady Gothika greeted in a mockingly way.
"Someone do something for God's sake!" Lex cried out as no one was flying the jet and they lost control.
Lady Gothika soon used her dream-bending powers to make Kimba appear so he would handle Harley Quinn while she would handle piloting. "Oh, I hope I do this right..." she told herself, trying to remain calm.
Harley Quinn screamed at the sight of the white tiger. The Joker soon reached to grab his bag of marbles only for Batman to kick them out of his hand and they ended up on the floor.
"Oh, crud!" Lady Gothika yelped.
The marbles began to explode.
"Where's my Prozac?" Lady Gothika muttered, feeling anxious now.
Superman and Sayia Man soon broke in through the floor and climbed inside of the jet as Lady Gothika tried to keep calm.
"Did we miss much?" Saiya Man asked.
"It's gonna blow!" Batman replied. "I'll take Quinn, one of you take Luthor."
"Find a happy place... Find a happy place! FIND A HAPPY PLACE!" Lady Gothika panicked.
"Superman, you take Luthor and I'll take the whack job and Lady Gothika." Saiya Man said.
Lady Gothika looked over, shivering from her seat.
"Good enough for me." Superman replied before lifting Lex's seat with his strength and went off with him.
Batman soon grabbed a hold of Harley Quinn, carrying her before leaping through the hole. Saiya Man soon grabbed hold of Lady Gothika and The Joker and where Kimba returned to his owner's imagination. Lady Gothika let out a small moan.
"You okay?" Sayia Man asked.
"I think I'll be okay..." Lady Gothika said, a bit wearily. "That always takes a lot out of me... I'm just glad I'm not flying that jet... I need a little practice."
They all soon got out.
"Why, you actually saved me..." The Joker said to Sayia Man, a bit surprised and touched.
"Even if you are a villain I wasn't going to let you or your sidekick die." Saiya Man said.
"Oh, gee, I'm really touched, why, maybe I should give up villainy all together." The Joker smiled innocently.
"Really?" Lady Gothika asked, not believing him.
"NO!" The Joker soon yelled at both of them. "Harley, we're out of here!"
"Yeah... No." Lex said.
"I beg your pardon?" The Joker glared at him.
Both Joker and Harley Quinn were both soon placed under arrest. The jet soon exploded and hit the water hard as it went down. The news soon came on with a report for the citizens of Metropolis.
