I own Nothing
Please Review
Green Lantern moaned as he came too, he rubbed his head and sat up. He looked around and saw that he was in an alleyway between two large buildings. The outer walls had some damage to them but it was not enough to make the building collapse. Green Lantern could hear cars in the distance which told him that they were near a populated area.
J'onn, Hawkgirl and Flash were lying on top of the robot that the League had been fighting and they too were slowly coming round as well; it took a few minutes for them to fully wake up.
"Is everyone alright?" he asked once everyone had woken up.
"I am fine," J'onn claimed.
"All good here," Hawkgirl answered as she tested her wings.
"Uhh….did anyone get the number of that truck?" Flash moaned, rubbing his head.
"It was a robot not a truck," Hawkgirl pointed out.
"So it was a Decepticon then, I knew they were real," Flash commented "Optimus Prime is way to nice to hit a human,"
"He's fine," Green Lantern stated.
"What's a Decepticon?" J'onn asked.
Flash was about to answer but Green Lantern beat him to it.
"Don't ask...just don't," Green Lantern advised.
J'onn raised an eyebrow in confusion and Flash got up and looked around.
"Hey where's Alucard?" Flash asked.
"Who cares, it's daytime so he probably turned into ash," Green Lantern said.
"Down here," Alucards voice came from beneath the robot "My legs is trapped,"
"I'll get him," J'onn said.
He reached through the machine and pulled Alucard out by phasing through the machine. Once the vampire was out the League saw his crushed legs. However before any of the League could react Alucards legs moved back into place and a moment later he stood up.
'At least my healing powers are still working,' Alucard thought.
"What...how did you do that?" Hawkgirl asked.
"All vampires have regeneration powers...my wounds instantly," Alucard claimed.
"That…wasn't in the movies," Green Lantern said.
Alucard was going to ask what Green Lantern meant but he suddenly noticed the odd smell in the air, he sniffed a few times just to make sure he had in fact sensed what he thought.
"Odd…dose anyone else smell that?" Alucard asked.
The League looked at him and sniffed the air, they didn't smell anything unnatural.
"Smell what?" Hawkgirl asked.
"The air…it smells of death and ash," Alucard claimed.
"Wait…did someone let one off?" Flash joked.
"That's not funny," Hawkgirl said.
"It's a little funny," Flash responded.
"Is this one of your vampire games?" Green Lantern accused.
"No, something is off, this whole place smells like brimstone and molten steel…with hint of rotten flesh," Alucard claimed.
The League looked at each other in confusion and then around, the buildings were fine and they could here cars in the distance.
"But if that's the case wouldn't the area around us be a waste land?" Hawkgirl asked.
"It would, but it's not," Green Lantern agreed.
"Perhaps that energy blast messed with Alucards senses," J'onn suggested.
"Hm," Alucard responded and stared off into space thoughtfully.
'Why dose the air smell of death…it's so strong I can taste it?' Alucard wondered, though he did not say it out loud.
"Well ignoring the blood sucker, we should get in contact with Batman and Superman," Green Lantern decided.
Green Lantern looked up towards the rooftops but did not see Batman or Superman; he tried to contact them through his communicator but had no luck.
"Odd, my com isn't working. I can't get in touch with Batman or Superman," Green Lantern said.
"Let me try, I'll contact them telepathically," J'onn said.
He reached out with his mental powers however he suddenly screamed as visions of explosions and fire filled his mind. J'onn collapsed and the next thing he knew was the rest of the League and Alucard was standing over him with worried expressions.
J'onn looked around wildly in panic but he did not see anything out of place.
"J'onn…you okay?" Flash asked.
"Yes, I'm alright…forgive me," J'onn said.
"You sure? You never fainted before," Hawkgirl said.
"I did not faint," J'onn claimed.
"Yeah you did," Flash said.
"What caused it?" Green Lantern asked.
"I don't know…I saw something when I trying to contact the others. I think I am just dizzy from the fight," J'onn said.
"Well don't push yourself," Flash said.
"What did you see?" Alucard asked glancing over at the Martian.
J'onn looked at him carefully.
"I don't know, it happened to quickly," J'onn claimed.
"Hm," Alucard responded and went back to his thoughts.
"Anyway, let's take a look around, the others couldn't have gone too far," Green Lantern said.
The League took off, Hawkgirl and J'onn flew into the air with Green Lantern, Flash and Alucard made their way on foot through the ally and eventually they came to a main street in a large city. Flash and Alucard stopped to look around and Green Lantern landed next to them. The city was clean and the people were wearing sixties clothing.
The shop windows were only charging 5-10 cents on their prices and an old ice-cream truck drove by them with the driver waving at them.
"Odd," Flash stated.
"Indeed, he should get his engine checked," Alucard agreed.
"What do you mean?" Green Lantern asked.
"I heard his engine struggling…it sounded like it was going to fall apart at any moment," Alucard claimed.
Green Lantern raised an eyebrow at that; he looked back at the scene in front of him.
"I haven't seen a truck like that since I was a kid…Where are we?" He asked.
"It looks like the sixties…you think we got blasted back in time," Flash suggested.
Green Lantern spied a nearby newspaper and used his ring to bring it over, he looked at the date.
"Nope, the date is the same…but look at the name of the newspaper," Green Lantern said.
"Seaboard City Times? Where's Seaboard City?" Flash asked.
Green Lantern shrugged, he had never heard of it before. While Green Lantern and the Flash were looking at the newspaper, Alucard looked around critically; he could not help but think something was off about this place. It looked peaceful and everyone appeared happy, however his enhanced smell and hearing told him otherwise.
Alucard had learned a long time ago that any ones senses could be fooled however a vampires senses were extremely hard to trick, the fact that his nose and hearing did not match what he saw put him on edge.
They were brought out of their thoughts and discussions by the sound of a large explosion across the park, a man in a pink suit and orange hair, he was holding a violin. A police car drove up and two police men got out of the car they demanded that the man surrender.
The man in the pink suit put the violin in a bag and played an Accordion that sent high pitched sound waves at the police. Alucard winced as he could hear it from across the street with his sensitive ears. The robber got into a clarinet shaped car and sped off at high speed.
Green Lantern flew after him and used his ring to hold the car in place.
"Not so fast," Green Lantern declared.
The man looked up at Green Lantern in surprise and confusion, however it quickly passed and a smile formed on the robbers face.
"Your disguise can't fool me Green Guardsman," the robber said.
"What did you just call me?" Green Lantern asked.
"Sorry but I don't do encores," the robber claimed.
He played his accordion and sound waves hit Green Lantern causing him to lose his focus, the Green energy that was holding the car was released and the man in the pink suit drove off. Green Lantern quickly recovered and was able to get the bag with the stolen violin back before the man got away.
Flash and Alucard came over.
"Who was that?" Flash asked.
"No clue, but did you hear what he called me?" Green Lantern asked back.
"Yeah Green Guardsman, what kind of name is that?" Flash joked.
Flash opened the bag and pulled out the violin, there was nothing particularly wonderful about it. The violin was well made and well looked after but that was it.
"I do not understand…why would he want this?" Alucard asked.
"No clue, but as far as villains go he was pretty corny," Flash answered.
"Haven't you herd? In Seaboard City, crime doesn't pay," a new voice declared bravely.
The three looked up to see a man in a bright yellow suit with blue pants and a metallic belt that had two nobs and looked like it had a fan in it standing on top of a nearby roof. The man twisted the nobs and the fan started, energy surrounded his fists.
He jumped from the roof and landed in front of the two heroes and the vampire. He charged at Flash and punched him in the face. Flash let go of the bag and flew backwards and landed half way across the park. The man in yellow caught the bag before it hit the ground.
"You just made a big mistake," Green Lantern said.
He used his ring to grab the metallic belt and pull it off the man in yellow, the man's energy around hands disappeared. Suddenly green Lantern was hit in the face with a heel as two more people joined in. One a man wearing a cat suit and the other a female wearing a black outfit and fish net stockings.
Green Lantern was forced back as the man punched him a few times. The man in yellow grabbed his belt and put it back on, he activated it and turned to Alucard.
"Wait we're not…" Alucard tried but the he was cut off as the man punched him in the gut and Alucard was sent flying backwards and crashed head first through a tree.
J'onn and Hawkgirl flew over and helped Green Lantern up, they joined the fight and so did another new comer, he was wearing a green outfit with a shield emblem on his chest and cape however he also had a green ring on his finger.
The man in greens ring created a giant drill and anvil to attack the Justice League. Hawkgirl flew up to engage the new comer.
"Whoever you are you're no Green Lantern," Hawkgirl stated.
The green Lantern copy created a bird cage from his ring and Hawkgirl banged her mace relentlessly against the bars trying to break free.
Flash got back up and ran to help his team mates, he was surprised when a man wearing a smiler outfit to him only he had a helmet on was running next to him and matching his speed.
"Your fast but you can't outrun justice," the man said.
"Huh?" Flash asked.
The man in red punched him in the face and Flash got into with his look alike. Meanwhile J'onn was dealing with the two crime fighters in black, he made himself intangible and let their attacks just go through him.
The man in yellow approached him and when J'onn became solid again he struck the Martian in the back sending his flying across the park and into the front of a building before spying Alucard trying to get up and going back to him. Unfortunately there was a little boy there watching the action and cheering on the fight and the falling debris form J'onns landing headed straight towards the poor youth.
Flash was the only one paying attention and he abandoned his fight and sped over to the boy, grabbing him and getting him out of harm's way. The other speedster who Flash had been fighting just stared in shock as Flash rescued the boy.
Alucard moaned in pain as he tried to force himself back up but found difficult, he rubbed his head in the spot where he had impacted the tree. Thankfully Alucard was not a normal human otherwise he would have most likely been killed. However before he could recover the man in yellow jumped on him and started attacking him again.
Alucard hissed as every strike seemed to send energy thought his body, he grabbed the man's hands and energy flooded his body, Alucard winced in pain as the energy was clearly hurting him.
"Let go, it'll kill you," the man claimed.
Alucard did not release him, he held on and soon the energy became too much and he could not hold on any longer as the energy was too much. Alucard cried out in pain and suddenly went limp, when he let go the energy stopped and left Alucards smoking body.
The man in yellow didn't have time to mourn or feel sorry for the man who had just died as Hawkgirl launched herself at him but before they could start another fight the man in red got between them.
"Stop, Stand Down…Stand down all of you," He ordered.
Everyone stopped fighting and looked at him.
"I think we made a mistake, no one who would risk his life for another could be evil," the man in red said and looked at Flash "I think our two teams should talk,"
"Sorry about your friend…but I did warn him," the man in yellow said.
The League looked over to Alucard and the red man was about to offer his sympathies when Alucard suddenly moaned and forced himself to sit up. He shook the cobwebs from his head and looked over at the League.
"Impossible…he should be dead," the man in yellow said.
J'onn came out of the building and landed in behind the group. He offered his hand to Alucard however the vampire did not take it.
"Are you hurt," J'onn asked
"I am already healing," Alucard claimed and stood up.
"So I guess we can cross lighting off the list of things that might kill you," Flash joked.
"I was unaware that there was a list," Alucard responded.
The League followed the other team of heroes back to their base; it was a large mansion in the city centre. Once inside they were led to the main meeting room, it had a couple of book selves a single cushioned chair and a round table with the team emblem on it, there were five chairs around the table.
"Please make yourself at home," The Flash look alike said.
Flash immediately went to the single cushioned chair and took it for himself. As the rest of the League came in the other heroes took their seats around the table.
"Thanks," Green Lantern said "Who are you guys anyway?"
"Of course introductions are in order," the man in red said "Justice Guild, roll call,"
"Cat man," The man in black said
"Black Siren," the only female member of the group announced.
"Green Guardsman," the one in green claimed.
"Tom Turbine," the man in yellow answered.
"The Streak," the Flash look alike said proudly "and together we make up the Justice Guild of America,"
The Justice League looked at each other for a second.
"Uh…yeah…I'm Green lantern. That's Flash, Hawkgirl, J'onn Jonzz and Alucard," Green Lantern introduced and gestured to each person as he said there name.
"Pleasure to meet you all," the Streak said.
"Wow more heroes…this is amazing," the boy Flash had saved said in awe.
"Who's the kid?" Flash asked.
"This is our official Justice Guild Junior Justice Guildsmen member, Ray Thompson," the Streak introduced.
"Try saying that three time quickly," Flash joked.
Green lantern shot Flash a warning glare, Ray walked up to the League.
"When I grow up I'm going to be a super hero, just like the Justice guild," Ray said enthusiastically.
"Only if you eat your vegetables and stay in school," the Streak said encouragingly.
Suddenly J'onn groaned and he felt very faint he struggled to stand and Hawkgirl caught the martin.
"J'onn what's wrong?" she asked.
"Forgive me….a sudden dizziness just came over me," J'onn said.
"Again…that's twice in the last hour," Green Lantern observed.
"Well nothing a tall glass of milk won't cure," the Streak said "Siren do you mind?"
"Not at all, I think I have some fresh baked cookies as well," Black Siren said.
She then walked up to Hawkgirl.
"Come on Hawkgirl, let's let the men talk," Black Siren said.
"They can talk all they want," Hawkgirl responded offended.
"Uh…excuse us for a moment," Green Lantern interrupted and dragged Hawkgirl away from the other female in the room.
"What are you thinking?" green lantern asked.
"I will not be treated like I am less than equal," Hawkgirl defended.
"We need answers and we need to find out what is going on her, so just for once we can all play along," Green Lantern claimed.
Hawkgirl glared dangerously at him but sighed, she then turned back to Black Siren.
"So you make cookies and fight crime…how do you do it?" Hawkgirl asked in a forcefully kind voice.
"Oh it's easy, I can give you the recipe if you like," Black Siren said as the two women went into the kitchen.
Once they were gone Green Lantern looked over the other group of heroes with a mixture of admiration and suspicion.
"This is too weird," He commented.
"I know, I could barely contain my laughter during that roll call," Flash agreed.
"It did sound like it had been rehearsed," Alucard agreed.
"No not that…them. Tom Turbine, Green Guardsman, The Streak," Green lantern said.
"What about them?" Flash asked.
"When I was a kid I used to go to my uncles house every day after school, he had the biggest collection of old Comic books I'd ever seen," Green Lantern claimed.
"Okay, but what does that have to do with them?" Flash asked.
"Tom Turbine, the Streak and Green Guardsman were the stars of my favourite comic book; the Justice Guild of America," Green Lantern claimed.
"I think I've heard of that one…but didn't that series stop 40yrs ago?" Flash asked.
"Yeah, I was pretty cut up about it after reading the last issue, it ended on a cliff hanger," Green lantern claimed.
"Man I hate those," Flash commented.
"What's a comic book?" Alucard asked.
Flash just rolled his eyes and Green Lantern sighed. Hawkgirl and Black Siren came out of the kitchen a few moments later, both were carrying a plate of Chocolate chip cookies and Hawk girl had the glass of milk to give to J'onn.
"Hey Cookie," Flash teased and reached for the plate.
"One word and you'll be the fastest man alive on one leg," Hawkgirl threatened.
Flash raised his hands and backed away. Once J'onn had his milk the League started to mingle with the Justice guild, the other team was intrigued by how similar there powers were. The League explained there world and how they were also part of a team of superheros dedicated to protecting the earth.
"So you're from another world, fascinating…what's it like?" Tom Turbine asked.
"It's…different than this one," Green Lantern said.
"How so?" Ray asked eagerly.
"Well it's more advanced and we have a lot more dangerous villains to deal with," Green Lantern claimed "Like that robot that we were fighting before coming here,"
"Robot…what's a robot?" Ray asked curiously.
"It's a large machine man, tall as skyscraper and made out of metal," Green Lantern
"Really that sounds amazing!" Ray said excitedly.
"He's kidding Ray, nothing like that exists," Tom Turbine said.
"Awww," Ray whined.
"So what's with your Albino friend?"
"Albino?" Green Lantern asked.
"Him," Tom turbine said and pointed to Alucard.
The vampire was very close to Black Siren and Cat Man, he was dangerously close to there necks and it looked like he was sniffing them, Green Lantern sighed and stormed over to Alucard, grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of the room.
"What are you doing?" Green Lantern
"Investigating," Alucard answered.
"Investigating what…your next meal?" Green Lantern accused.
"There would be no point in, I smell no blood from the Justice Guild," Alucard claimed "Nor do I hear there harts beat,"
Green Lantern stared at Alucard like he was crazy. He could not believe what he was hearing.
"Keep your fangs to yourself or else we will have a problem," Green Lantern warned.
Alucard nodded in understanding and they went back to join the others, only this time Alucard stood apart from the group, he leaned against the wall watching the two teams of heroes interact. Ray came over to him.
"Hi," the boy said with a friendly smile "What's your powers?"
Alucard bent down and glared at him with his yellow eyes. Ray felt a little nervous under the vampires gaze. Alucard could smell the boy's blood and hear his heart beat, though it was faster than normal.
"What…is there something on my face?" Ray asked.
"You smell funny," Alucard commented.
"I do not, I take a bath and wash my face every day," Ray defended.
"Hm…" Alucard responded before standing back up straight and walking away from the boy.
After the Justice League and Justice Guild had finished mingling and getting to know each other Tom Turbine led the Justice League down to his lab. Considering that the League was stuck in a sixties like era some of the devices and experiments that were around the lab looked quite impressive.
"ACHOOO" Alucard sneezed.
The League looked at him, they weren't aware that vampires could sneeze.
"Are you well friend?" Tom Turbine asked.
"Maybe Black Siren is talking about you," Flash joked.
"No…it is just very dusty in here," Alucard claimed and covered his nose with his hand "the scent of old dust adn rust is overpowering,"
"There's no dust or rust in my lab," Tom Turbine assured "I keep everything clean and meet all health safety standards,"
Alucard didn't respond, he glanced around and saw that the lab was in fact very clean, yet for some reason he was sneezing.
"You said you had a theory on how we came here," J'onn said.
"Yes," Tom Turbine said and walked over to a chalk board and started drawing on it.
"As an expert in both Nuclear and Theoretical Physics, I have long believed that there are an infinite number of earths out there. Each one occupies the same space but occurs on a different wavelength and thus don't interact with each other," Tom Turbine explained.
"You're talking about parallel dimensions," Green Lantern said.
"Yes, every earth is the same planet but develops differently depending on the choices made. It's possible that when Flash absorbed the energy blast you spoke of, he matched the vibrations of this earth and brought you here," Tom Turbine theorised.
"So he created a tear in the dimensional barrier and we were pulled though,"
"So it is his fault that we are here," Alucard said.
"In a sense, yes," Tom Turbine agreed.
The League glared at Flash and the scarlet speedster felt very nervous and quietly that he had stranded his friends on another version of earth.
"Hey it's not like I did it on purpose," Flash defended.
"But that doesn't explain the Justice Guild comics I read as a kid," Green Lantern claimed "Where did they come from,"
"Perhaps….perhaps the creators of those comics had some form of physic link to this world," J'onn theorised "What they thought was fantasy was actually memories or perhaps even visons of the Justice Guilds real exploits,"
"That is certainly a possibility," Tom Turbine agreed.
"Then why did they stop publishing them?" Green Lantern asked.
"The link must have broken somehow, no psychic link, no access to the Justice Guilds world," Alucard said.
"Wait so you're telling me that someone from our world had a link to this one and made stories out of it?" Flash asked.
"Essentially yes," J'onn answered.
"So…does that mean the Captain America comics and The Avengers comics are actually real?" Flash asked.
"Don't be ridiculous, there was no super solder serum in World War Two," Green Lantern.
"As interesting as this is, how does it help us get home?" Hawkgirl asked.
Tom Turbine walked over to the other side of his lab was a large device was covered by a sheet; he pulled it off revealing a big red and silver ring.
"I've been experimenting with dimensional travel and created this devise to traverse and explore different Earths," Tom Turbine said.
"Great, let's use it to go home," Hawkgirl said.
"Unfortunately it doesn't work," Tom Turbine said.
"What's wrong with it?" Flash asked.
"Well theoretically nothing, I just haven't been able to find a suitable and sustainable energy source to power it," Tom Turbine said.
"It appears we are stuck here then," Alucard stated.
"Don't worry, we're happy to put you up for however long you need," Tom Turbine said "after all were practically neighbours,"
"Thanks, we appreciate it," Green Lantern said.
Alucard sneezed again.
"I need some air," Alucard said and walked out of the lab.
The League and Tom Turbine followed him and once they were back in the main room Alucard headed for the door as he still wanted to get some air, Tom Turbine assured them that he would not stop working on the gateway until it was up and running. Streak agreed to let the League stay as long as they needed and suggested that they have some coffee and dessert.
Black Siren was eager to get it and asked Hawkgirl to help her; Hawkgirl was about to tell her exactly where she could shove that desert and give the men a lesson on sexual equality that they would not forget when there was a knock on the door.
Alucard was right by the door and opened it to see the two police officers.
"Who are you?" one of the policemen asked.
Alucard started at them for a second before leaning very close to the man's face, the police men had to lean back as Alucard was right up in their personal space.
"Uh… Is the Justice Guild in?" the older man asked, he was very uncomftibale about having this stranger right in his face and stare at him.
"Hmm…" Alucard responded and leaned back. He then looked over his shoulder at the Justice Guild.
"You have guests," Alucard said and pushed past the two police officers.
The officers watched him go.
"What an odd fella," the policeman said.
Alucard walked around to the side of the mansion and leaned against the wall in the shade, he let out a long sigh.
'At least the rust isn't as strong out here,' Alucard thought to himself.
He looked up into the nearby tree and saw a nest of newly hatched baby birds and a mother with a worm in its mouth. He stood there in silence watching the bird in the tree feed its babies a worm focusing his hearing on them.
"Even the animals have no hart beat," Alucard muttered.
He then saw the police car drive off and he watched it go, a few minutes later he saw Flash run off with Black Siren, he was holding her bridal style, Hawkgirl and Green Guardsman fly off, followed by Green Lantern and the Streak head off in a different direction and Cat Man riding a motor bike along with Ray in the side care and J'onn flying above them.
"Where are they going?" Alucard wondered.
"Your friends are heading out to stop the InJustice Guild," Tom Turbine answered.
Alucard looked over back over his shoulder to see Tom Turbine was standing next to him.
"The what?" Alucard asked.
"A group of super villains who never give up," Tom Turbine explained "Will you assist them your comrades?"
Alucard looked up at the sky in the direction Hawkgirl and Green Guardsman had flown, he contemplated following them, however he had no means to catch up with them.
"No, I am sure they can handle it," Alucard said calmly.
"Oh in that case would you like to help me with gateway?" Tom Turbine asked "I could use an extra hand,"
"I am afraid that I do not possess the knowledge to assist you, I would only get in your way," Alucard claimed. That and he did not want to go back to the lab and start sneezing again.
"Then may I suggest a tour of the city, we have many wonderful museums and galleries," Tom turbine suggested.
"I would rather…."Alucard started and then he realised something "Actually...that sounds like a good Idea, do you have map of the city I could borrow?"
"Of course, I'll mark down the popular tourist spots,"
"Could you also mark down places families like to go?" Alucard asked.
"I'd be happy too," Tom Turbine said.
Alucard followed Tom Turbine back into the Justice Guilds mansion and the other hero got a city map out, Alucard glanced at it and it seemed easy to read. Tom Turbine marked all the museums and Galleries on the map as well as popular spots for families to visit.
He also marked the shop witch apparently sold the best ice-cream in the city.
"There you go," Tom Turbine said and handed the map to Alucard.
Alucard took the map.
"Thank you," Alucard said.
"I hope you enjoy our fair city and learn something new," Tom Turbine said cheerfully.
"Believe me I intent to learn a lot," Alucard said confidently.
