Welcome to Home
Neo–Gotham, Earth Chronos
Huntress was shocked by what she saw, it was her home, littered with different pieces of the world's culture, the statue of liberty, the Trojan Horse and The Leaning Tower of Pisa with some Easter Island heads, all of it was just insane, “We need to get out of here.” Terry had told them when Stewart stepped forward, “Leaving so soon?” he had asked, making her glare towards her old friend.
“You didn’t even take any party favors.” he said, rushing forward before throwing a Halloween basket at them, smoke coming out and sparkles as well, “Incoming!” Rex shouted, making Huntress and the others be on guard as they saw the sparkles eat through a lamplight, John Stewart put up a forcefield but the ripples that were coming with each hit were not making her confident.
“That’s not gonna hold.” Rex had told his dad and he was right as it dissipated, Huntress had grabbed her dad as they scattered, as they did, the Jokerz had all started to pick them out, “Where do you think you’re going, sugar?” Chucko had asked Wonder Woman as he extended his Darth Maul rip off, giving a twirl as he sped forward, Diana blocked but was shocked by the weapon when it connected.
She was surprised by the pain and but blocked again only to get shocked harder, making her unsteady on her before he backed up to charge her, only for Huntress to go and kick him away from her, nearly falling off the ball that made up his legs, “You had fun with sugar, now how about some spice?” she asked before firing a few bolts his way that he propellered away before charging.
Meanwhile one of the DeeDee twins was backflipping away as they faced off against John, “Look, DeeDee, another Green Lantern.” she said as the other one had backflipped onto her twins shoulders, “He’s much cuter than the last one we killed.” she said before extending an electro-whip with her sister(Jealous!), “Don’t you think, DeeDee?” she had asked as the two had charged.
John had flown backwards and made a shield to block the whips but the yellow energy had cut through it warm butter, the bottom twin propelled her sister up to take a stab at him but he flew down and shot upwards at her, hitting the DeeDee, as he had touched ground, the DeeDee landed and split into two now, surprising John, “How’d you…” he started as they got up.
Three of them with whips now as the undamaged DeeDee leapt up and did a flip before she had kicked him in the chest, knocking John to the ground, she lift a whip to finish him but Terry had bataranged it out of her hand and tackled her, the other two had grabbed his legs and got him to the ground as the third DeeDee hit a wall and turned into two now just as Woof was thrown across the street.
But he had only laughed a maniacal laugh as Warhawk had went and tackled him to the ground, Woof kicked him off and then leapt up and grabbed onto his shoulders before the monster man slipped and got on top of a grounded Warhawk, he started to slash and slash away at that with a joy as Bonk had went and thrown a garbage can, “Hold still so I can pound you.” he told Static who wasn’t gonna make it easy.
“Yeah, that’s what I'll do.” Static had told him as he had sliced the can, Stewart meanwhile was facing off against Bruce and Huntress did not pity him as he had thrown a barrage just as he let go of the trick or treat basket, throwing him to the ground with those blows as his right arm turned into a buzzsaw, slashing but missing him as he had went and sliced through a pillar.
In the dust of it, Bonk had charged Static, avoiding a blast as his hand had turned into a hammer as he had leaped up and knocked him off of the disk that he was using, getting him down and hitting a car as Bonk went to go and attack him but Static was not going down as he had went and given him a great blast of energy, knocking Bonk back and onto a car on the opposite side of the street.
He got on the disc and fired another blast but Bonk had went and created a spin with his hammer as he had approached him with a smile, not being affected while the DeeDee’s had Terry tied up and were electrocuting him as Static had went and gotten a few trash cans and thrown them on top twins, “Hey, what’s the big idea?” one of them said as she tripped onto Terry as he got up and broke the bond.
“You shouldn’t have done that.” an army of DeeDee’s said in unison as they approached which was when Terry had shot upwards, “We’re getting out of here now.” Terry had told them as Warhawk switched positions with Woof, “Not a chance. Hold the line.” he told Terry as Woof got on top again, “He’s right. We’re the Justice League.” Diana said as she and Huntress were facing off against Chucko.
Huntress having pulled out her bo staff and blocking the staff with Diana as they faced off against him, “we don’t run from a fight.” Diana had told him before Chucko through her into a wall that had broke easily as Terry pulled out a motherbox, “I don’t remember putting this up for a vote.” Terry had said to them, “Either way, you got mine.” Huntress said as the boomtube was opened up.
Before anyone could go through though, Chucko threw his spear like a javelin and murdered the motherbox, destroying the portal as well, “Keep your head in the game, B4.” Huntress had said as she had hit Chucko in the gut with her staff, “There’s always another way.” John had said as he flew by Terry before looking towards Static, “Virgil, I need some cover.” he ordered of Static.
He nodded and went ahead and created a flashbang in the air, blinding the Jokerz before they had looked around, “They’re gone, DeeDee.” a DeeDee said, “Bet I know which way they went, DeeDee.” the other had said as they had approached the green maze, “After ‘em!” Bonk had shouted as they had went and ran into the maze, unaware that it was a creation of John’s as they had looked from the top of a rooftop.
“I think we’ve lost them.” John said as they had all started to fly away, Huntress carrying Bruce as they had followed her JLU, “Where are we headed? The Watchtower?” Diana had asked, “Not exactly.” Terry had told them, making Huntress wonder what exactly was going on with them right now and what exactly Chronos had done while Huntress was away.

Hamilton Hill High School, Neo–Gotham
Huntress was surprised that they were in Terry’s old High School, as Static opened the doors, they walked through the damage, seeing everything that had happened to the school now, it felt like a zombie movie right now with all the flickering lights and vandalized lockers that were there when they had approached a Batcomputer, one that looked like it was from one of dads temporary caves.
“This is Justice League headquarters?” Bruce had asked, seeing the damage that was before it all while Static had turned on the computer, “For now.” Static had told them, “We’re all that’s left of The Justice League.” Static had said, sounding sad as he had told them this, “You’ve traveled a couple of decades into your future.” Terry had said to them, John approached Static then as Huntress started to get scared.
“Last time I saw you, you were too young to drive.” John had told Static, “You look good for a man your age.” John had told him, “The miracles of modern medicine.” Static said to him a little proud of his shape, “Sixty five is the new thirty.” he had joked to John as Bruce spoke up, “And the watchtower?” he had asked of them, “It’s gone.” Terry had told them all, “We lost a lot of good people that day.” Terry had told them.
“You mean, Superman, J’onn, all the others?” Diana had asked, “What about Lara, Lyta, Hector?” Huntress asked, just to name a few of them, “Yeah.” Rex said, answering both their questions, “You too.” he had told them, removing his helmet to show his face to John, who looked away a little nervous at the similarities, “And the Batcave?” Bruce had asked.
Which was when she had heard one of the most calming(to her anyways) voices speak up, “This is all we have left now.” Her dad said as he had walked out of the shadows, “Deal with it.” he told them as Huntress smiled, Bruce giving a small glare as he approached his older self, “Surprised to see me?” Dad asked, “A little.” Bruce said, “I’m more surprised that I lived so long.” he said as she and Terry approached.
“Batman, Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne, Batman.” Terry said with a smile as he introduced the duo, a little humor right now for what is going on, “Or have you met?” he had asked the pair of them, “Not now.” The Bruces and Huntress had said in the exact same tone, “Great. What did they used to call it? Stereo?” he asked, trying to make them feel old as Huntress had went and hugged her dad.
That seemed to surprise the leaguers almost as much as him returning it, “Glad you’re back, Helena.” he said, revealing her name to Bruce and the others, but she didn’t care, “Glad to BE back, Dad.” she had told him, Dad going and removing the mask from her uniform via the controls, before they could ask more, Rex thankfully butted in, “This is a little weird for everybody.” He told them.
“I’m Warhawk, Rex Stewart.” he had told them, offering a hand to his dad to shake, John took it, “Helena Wayne here everybody.” she said as well while seeing her “In case of Time Travelers.” Kit was there, “Your mother. Who is she?” John had asked as she took them with no one but both her dads seeing it, “Kind of obvious, don’t you think?” Rex had asked him.
“Even if it isn’t, leave it be.” Bruce said, stepping forward now as he gave a glance to Helena who was a little embarrassed that she had told him, but thankful that she had the chips, “You don’t wanna know too much about your future.” he had said, already knowing more than enough with Helena spilling some beans, “Trust me, you really don’t.” Terry had said to them before glancing to Helena.
That made her curious when Static spoke up, “Shayera was one cranky pregnant lady.” Virgil had told them before starting a joke, “Although, to be fair, if I’d laid an egg that size.” which cued John looking surprised, scared, and making Helena cackle, “He’s kidding, dad.” Rex had said to John, putting a hand on his shoulder, “Not that I understand why you think this is anything to joke about.” he told the older hero.
“Because we already won.” he said to them, losing even Helena now at his logic, “Think about it.” Static told them, “If old Bruce is here that means that he already lived through this as Batman.” he had explained to them, “Flawless logic.” Dad told them, “Except that I have no memory of ever going to the future and meeting my older self or of anything else that’s happening today.” he told them.
“And even if he would remember, I would have mindwiped him to keep the timeline safe.” Helena had told them, making the three Leaguers look towards her with caution, but Bruce decided to focus on the now instead of what she’s going to do, “Those historical buildings we saw on the street.” he said, “The timeline’s been polluted.” he had stated, “Even Booster Gold could have told you that.” She remarked.
Her dad just gave a glare before answering Bruce, “So polluted that history itself is becoming fluid.” he had told them, “We’d better compare notes.” Diana had offered out, “Alright then, let’s go through them.” Helena had said as she wondered what had changed over time while she was gone and what was the same right about now for them to figure out what they needed to do.
______________________________________________________________________
Helena and the others were all finished up on comparing the notes as they had went and looked over The Chronos Data, “We still don’t know much about him.” Terry had told them, surprising her, “Obviously, he’s a time traveling warlord.” Terry said, making Helena scoff at that, “He’s littered the streets with buildings. He’s stolen from other time periods.” he explained to them all.
“He’s not a warlord.” Diana had told them, “At least, he wasn’t at first.” Diana had said, “When we all chased him to the Old West all he was stealing was historical trinkets.” She said, arms crossed, confused before looking to Helena, “Didn’t you say you knew him?” She had asked, “Yeah,” Helena said, surprising them, “He was a teacher back in Gotham University, A Professor in Quantum Mechanics.” she said.
“I thought you were trying to be a Lawyer?” Terry asked, “I sat in when I was twelve, wanted to see if I could make a time machine for… you know.” Helena told him, making Diana want to ask more when the computer started to beep, “He’s causing severe damage to the space–time continuum.” he told them, ignoring the time machine plan his daughter had, for now.
“The degradation is increasing exponentially.” Dad had told the group, “I've got something.” Bruce had said on the other end of the batcomputer, “When we were in the old west Helena and I got a good look at his time belt.” he had told them before a disc had popped out from the data port in was in, “I’ve written a program that should disable it.” Bruce said as he had lifted it up for them to see.
“If we can get close enough to upload it.” Rex told them, being the realist, when Diana had spoken up as the hopeful one, "If we can get our hands on the belt maybe we can stop any of this from ever happening in the first place.” she started to say as she had vanished, fading out of existence, unaware as they could only watch in shock at it, “We could even undo the death of your friends.” she went before going.
“Diana!” Bruce shouted, leaping towards her, but anything he could have done at all was too late as he had grabbed at nothing but air, “She never left the island.” Dad said, stunned at what happened, “Or was never born.” Bruce had said, “Time is running out.” Terry had said as he noticed the screen, it was as if the entire world was being erased, leaving nothing but white.
“Literally.” Helena had said as they watched it, but there was no time to mourn or to have their Doomsday day, now they needed to work, “We need to find Chronos.” Terry had declared, “How?” Virgil had asked as Bruce and in turn Helena had went to leave, “He could be anywhere.” Virgil had told them, “Sometimes the old ways are best.” Bruce had said, “That is why they’re usually called classics.” Helena remarked.
“It’s not gonna work.” Terry had warned the pair, “You don’t know your way around here.” Terry warned him, “A lot of things have changed.” he said as Burce opened the door, looking back to see Helena as Huntress again with the others watching, “Are criminals still superstitious and cowardly?” he had asked of the future JL, “Yup.” Dad said, “Big time.” Huntress said, “Good enough for me.” he said before going.

Neo–Gotham
Huntress was running by her past dads side as they went to lure out one, “I work better alone, stop–” “Hah!” Huntress said, “Tell that to your three Robins, Batgirl, Spoiler and all of the–” “Spoiler?” Bruce went, “Wow! You’re really young!” she told him, “I mean seriously! You and mom probably–” “How is Selina anyways?” Bruce had asked her, making Helena pause at that, “How’d you know?” she whispered, scared.
“How you move, your smile, and that snark is not mine.” he had said to her, hearing that, she took a breath before Huntress took another shot and injected it, “Dead.” Huntress said as she had went and pulled out a box, “If that wasn’t obvious.” she had told him before he saw what was in her hands, “What is that?” he asked her, “Jarrotech.” Huntress told him.
That confused her younger father, “Had them developed with a family member after a time travel incident,” she told him, “Slap this on and you’ll forget everything Bat related when you go home.” she said to him, making Bruce glare at that before outstretching a hand, “Hand it over.” Bruce said, knowing that the ripples were too dangerous and she wouldn’t risk killing him if she wasn’t born.
“Just attach it to your neck and then you’re good.” she had said and hearing that, he obeyed and that was when the Jarrotech had absorbed into his skin and with that, they had went and headed towards a ledge that was there and looked down at the city that was hers, it was so deep, one misstep and they could die, it was exhilarating and made the younger Wayne smile, “And now we wait.” she whispered.
“Not long it seems.” Bruce had said, making her nod at that as the two of them looked to see– “Oh come on! Stewart!” She had thought as her old friend went to go and cock his head up, confident, “You’re supposed to be the REAL Batman, right?” Stewart had asked her dad, “I mean, the first one.” he had clarified, though Huntress was angry that he would let a world like this happen.
“I’ve seen history cubes about you.” he told Bruce, “Hard to believe somebody stupid as you ever beat the Joker.” Stewart told him as The Buzzsaw came out and whirred, “Maybe I’m smarter than I look.” Bruce said, “Or maybe the Joker is dumber than you thought.” Huntress said, angering her old friend as he had charged, raising the saw up to attack only for Static to shock it.
Getting him completely and paralyzing the Jokerz just like they planned as the five of them landed, Stewart getting up as he saw it was a trap, “Oh, terrific.” he had told them, bummed that he was the the one that they had caught, “You’ve got some information we need, Ghoul.” Terry had said, but Stewart wasn’t scared, “You won’t find me the talkative sort.” he went before Bruce grabbed his shoulder.
“Hey!” he went as Bruce dragged him to the edge of the building, lifting him by his ankle with one arm, Ghoul swinging as his hat had fallen down, “Where’s Chronos?” he had demanded of him in his even and unemotional tone which meant that he was furious, “My arm’s getting tired,” he said as both her and Dad had walked over to the younger version of Bruce Wayne.
“I can’t believe I was ever that green.” Dad said as she had went grabbed the Joker and threw him onto the roof, starting to get up and turn to see that the two were approaching with Dad having his cane raised as a club while she had drawn her baton to deal with him, “This is how you interrogate someone.” he had said as Huntress had went and knelt in front of him, wanting to tell him this first.
“I know who you are, Stewart Carter Winthrop III.” she told him with a glare, “I know you were a Son of Johnathan Crane, I know you helped make the virus.” she spit out, “And I know that you were responsible for the loss of Five Hundred lives,” she whispered, making him pant, “I’m not cruel enough to let Reign know I know, but I am cruel enough to make this hurt.” she said before they started.
______________________________________________________________________
“…And we’ve got 9,453 active Jokerz organized into about 200 smaller groups.” he told them, terrified to be on the receiving end of those two again, “I don’t know where Chronos is.” he told them, looking away now, “He contacts us.” he said, but that wasn’t good enough, “He spends every night in a different one of those old buildings.” Stewart said but neither believed he didn’t know more.
“There’s no way of knowing ahead of time where he’s gonna be. And that’s everything I know.” he told them as Dad leaned in, “Everything?” he asked, ready to hurt him some more, he looked to Huntress who glared before he blurted something she already knew, “I wet my bed until I was 14.” he said which only irritated both, “I’m losing my patience, are you losing your patience?” Huntress asked.
Dad nodded as he leaned in, making Stewart flinch back, “Losing my patience.” he told him and Huntress kept him down which was when Bruce had intervened, he went and stepped forward while Dad moved out of the way but Huntress kept her grasp, “I can’t control my friends here much longer.” he told Stewart who was shaking in fear at being left alone with the pair.
“You better give us something we can use.” Bruce had said to him, getting in his face which was when Ghoul had given them what they needed, “His wife. I know where his wife is.” he had told Bruce as Huntress heard what Virgil and John were saying, “Wow! Batman playing good cop.” he said, looking towards John, “Everything’s relative.” Was the Lanterns reply with a shrug as they got their prey.
______________________________________________________________________
Pyramid, Neo–Gotham
Huntress had kicked the last of the Joker–Venom infused guards through the door, the bolt electrifying the fool as they had went and walked in, as they entered, Huntress and the others saw the wife of Chronos looking from a bed that she would blackmail for, Rex landing as John had started to walk forward, “Enid Clinton.” was all he could say before he started to change.
“We’ve got business with your husband.” Hal Jordan was now saying to her to the shock of the others, “What?” Hal asked, “John?” Virgil had asked, “Hal Jordan. Another time shift.” The Pilot explained to them, "I’m up to speed. Carry on.” he said so Huntress shrugged as they went and approached the kept to beating Chronos, “Okay, I’m starting to get a migraine.” Terry went which was when Huntress gave him a bottle.
“Here, I take these in case of this.” she said before approaching Enid with the others, “We’d better get used to it.” Bruce to the pair, “This is going to get worse before it gets better.” Bruce had told Terry before back to the group, “Any one of us could change or even cease to exist.” he warned to them, “Then we better make it count.” Huntress told them as Hal spoke to Enid.
“That’s why you have to tell us where to find David.” Hal had told the villains wife, “We just wanna undo the harm he’s caused. You have my word.” Hal told her, putting his ring hand to his emblem, “We’ll do everything in our power to keep from hurting him.” he had told her, which was when Enid said something surprising, “Between you and me I wouldn’t mind one bit if he got roughed up along the way.” she told them.
“Glad we’re in agreement.” Huntress said as Warhawk took point, “Then where is he tonight?” he had asked her, “The Parthenon? The Great Sphinx?” Rex had asked her which was when she answered, “He just want people to think he moves around.” she told them, “He always sleeps in the same place.” she had told the group there, getting up to lead them to their target.
______________________________________________________________________
The Colosseum, Neo–Gotham
They had arrived at The Colosseum, landing and seeing that it was the Elkhorn County Jail, Hal went and did a scan as Huntress had started to feel like she weighed less than before, “No booby traps.” Hal said as he became John again, “At least none that my ring can detect.” he told them, “Make up your mind, would you?” Virgil had asked of him, “Then don’t look over here.” She said, making them turn to see her.
She had been replaced as well, she wasn’t Huntress anymore, she was Cat Sith, her Apokoliptan whip around her waist, more body armor than her old one and missing her left leg, replaced with a prosthetic(the one from kingsmen), “Anyway,” John said, “It’s safe to go in.” he told the group, “Wow, thanks Johnny.” she said, slapping the back of his neck with the Jarrotech, he barely noticed when it happened.
“If we don’t beat this guy it’s the end of everything.” Warhawk said, dramatic as ever as Terry had walked beside him, “We’ve been there before.” Terry replied, “Not like this.” Warhawk said, “What are you supposed to do when you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?” Rex asked, that was when John put a hand on his future sons shoulder, “Plant your feet.” he said to him.
This made Rex smile before they had went and walked into the jail, ready for anything as they stayed as quiet as possible, “I don’t understand, with all of the places he could be why sleep here?” John said as they found him sleeping on a cot, "Because a loser with a kingdom it still just a loser.” Enid said, approaching the cell angry, “Wait don’t–!” Cat Sith started when she tore the blanket off, “See for yourself.” she told them.
Cat Sith was irritated at that, “Wow, thanks for destroying reality just to prove a point.” Cat Sith snarled at the woman as Chronos woke up from sucking his thumb to see the assembled group, “Huh… Enid?” he asked before his senses came back to him, “Nice on the stealth thing, lady.” Terry said, and Cat Sith could agree with that as he pressed a button on hie belt and a portal opened.
“The Jokerz, minus Chucko, had all appeared now, ready for a fight, “Get the belt. Nothing else matters.” Bruce said and hearing that, Cat Sith had kicked with her prosthetic, the blade popping out to slice it off but she was too late as he had hopped through another portal, Warhawk charged only to get hit up up and away by Bonk before coming back down and tackling him.
The jail had started to rumble and fall apart then so everyone but Virgil and John as well as the Jokerz had went and got out while they created a bubble around the group, protecting them as the jail collapsed before they could get out, Cat Sith and Bruce caught in the rubble, “A real gentlemen, isn’t he, DeeDee?” DeeDee asked, “They’re practically extinct, DeeDee.” DeeDee said.
That was when one hit John while Woof had tackled Virgil, throwing him into the air, he went and got on a board, chasing him with electric bursts, right into some white cracks that were forming, Woof had leapt away from them, smart, but Virgil chased him a second too late and was caught in a white flash, vanishing, as John went to get Woof and Terry landed with Enid(Joy), Colonial Red Coats appeared.
“It happened again.” One said, “Look out! Monsters!” A Red Coat said, “Fire at will!” the third said and they aimed at Terry, he pushed Enid out of the way when he was hit by their musketballs, making Terry grunt in pain when a whip had got his arm, and one got the other, and two more got his legs, “Batman’s not paying us any attention, DeeDee.” A DeeDee said, “He should be punished, DeeDee.”
They started to pull and then electrocute him before he– “Terry!” Her Dad shouted over the comms, seeing as it happened, “Terry.” He said and that was when Cat Sith snapped, as Stewart went and faced off against John, Cat Sith now out of the wreckage glared, “YOU!” She snarled towards the DeeDee’s, making them turn to her, she was on them in moment and went to get a roundhouse, the blade out…
When she turned back to Huntress and her natural leg kicked her down, but Huntress wasn’t done, she took out some freeze bolts and fired on the DeeDee’s, catching all five, “Hey! No fair!” one said as Huntress saw the cracks grow, “Enjoy the white out.” she said, leaving them to their fate as she went and fired a bolt on Bonk who was fighting John before noticing that Chronos was by Enid.
“How could you betray me, Enid?” he had asked her, like it wasn’t obvious, “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you.” he had said to his wife making Huntress really think that this toxic relationship should have gotten a therapist sooner, “Don’t blame this on me.” Enid said, putting her hands on her hips and still being ignorant to what was happening and it was grinding Huntresses gears, “I just wanted you to assert yourself.”
“Not destroy the universe.” Enid had said which made Huntress snap, “Seriously! HOW did you two get married?!” she had asked when a gray spiked being that looked like Doomsday appeared behind her, “Huntress!” it snarled before punching her, throwing the young vigilante to where Warhawk had just broken a pillar punching Ghoul, she was pretty sure that she had broken something.
But Huntress was not out of it yet, as Warhawk chased after the falling form of Ghoul, The pseudo–Doomsday had leapt over to her, “Finish you for First!” it said, raising its fists, ready to cave her skull in when the creature had vanished, relieved, she barely had time to calm down before seeing that hearing a mammoth, reacting as it charged Warhawk, she leapt down and used the shield–mode of her cape.
But it wasn’t enough, the two of them were flung into the air, his armor cracking and her uniform torn with a wound that will definitely scar on her stomach as the pair had rolled right up to Woof, Huntress lost her crossbow in the toss and Warhawk was out so Woof snarled, raising his claws when John had fired on the Monster Man, “Get away from my kid!” he said to him with a resolved glare.
That was when Huntress saw that Bruce was getting up, she had went and ran towards him, hand on the right side of her ribs as she went to help, “You good?” she asked, getting him out of the ruins, but that was when he saw the time traveler holding Enid angry, “Chronos!” he said, annoyed as she was feeling as the two headed over, Huntress cracking her knuckles, wanting to beat these two idiots right now.
“You are good.” Chronos said with a smile, “Aren’t they good?” He had asked his wife, sounding insane as he had pulled her to look into his eyes, “Earth to crazy! Look at what’s happening around you!” Huntress had said, “Look at the sky!” Bruce emphasized, making the four of them look to see everything fade to white, “Pretty.” Chronos said, and that had honestly scared Huntress the most today.
“Stay with us, man, we’ve got a problem here.” John said as he had flown next to the two of them, “Right. You’re right.” Chronos said to them, letting go of his wife to think while she just looked irritated, “This calls for another approach.” he said before kissing her cheek, surprising her as he opened another gate, “You’ll love me next time!” he told her before jumping into the gate.
The three of them went after, as they leapt through, Huntress gave Enid the bird before it had closed behind them, John forming a bubble around them as they chased him, “Where’s he going? There’s nothing left.” Bruce had said to them, “Yes, there is.” John had told the two of them, “the beginning of time.” he had told the two of them, “he can reset everything. Make himself a God.” Bruce said.
“Only if he gets there first! Full speed ahead!” Huntress had told John and he was happy to comply, the trio speeding up as they approached a hand holding something that looked like a sleeping Angel made out of white light, “The Green Lanterns have a legend.” John told them, “No one can see the beginning of time.” he had said, “it’s a universal law.” he said but neither cared for that right now.
“Write him a ticket.” The Two Waynes had said to the Green Lantern as Chronos edged closer and closer when, as he was reaching out, a green clamp had caught his outstretched wrist “No!” he shouted as John reeled him in, into the bubble as Bruce slotted the disc, “Uploading the program.” he said as they approached, “Make it fast.” John said “Having a little trouble with the brakes.”
As the two of them had held onto Chronos, Huntress disengaged and Helena looked to Bruce, her father, “Hey, Dad.” Helena said to Bruce, “If we don’t make it out of this, I just want to tell you–” “Tell me when we win!” he said, making her smile as the darkness had overtaken them, as it had done as much, Helena had closed her eyes and accepted whatever would come next.
______________________________________________________________________
The Watchtower, Earth’s Orbit
The two were shocked, they found themselves in the mess hall, in the exact moment when it had all started to happen, the two looking around shocked at the Justice League members around them now, “That all really happened?” John had asked Bruce, “Think so.” Bruce said, recalling their companion who– huh, he could remember her, in the OLD West CLEARLY, but once in the future…
“Then, we won.” John said, a little surprised that was the case, “Everything's back to normal?” John had asked of his fellow leaguer when Diana approached them, “That’s a nasty cut, John.” she said, looking just like before she had vanished, The Lantern had felt the cut, it was still there which shocked him while Burce focused on Diana and how she wasn’t as freaked out as them.
“You don’t remember going on a mission with us today, do you?” Bruce asked, already getting an answer from the blank expression on her face, “I just got here.” she said, taking a bite as Bruce leaned in to whisper to John, “The timeline’s restored to equilibrium.” he told the Lantern, “We’re the only two people who remember what happened.” he told John when he saw Shayera walk out of the cafe.
Apparently they had a kid together, he stared at her, knowing that future and the hero that came from it as Shayera had went and walked away, braking eye contact, “That complicates things.” John had told him before remembering their enemy, “What happened to Chronos?” he had asked Bruce, “I reprogrammed the belt to make sure that Chronos would never come to exist.” he said to him.
That had placard John who had nodded at that when he had recalled what Bruce said, “For now.” John said, “What?” Bruce asked, “There were three of us that went in that tunnel, we’re the only three that remember, for now.” he said and hearing that, the two of them had wondered about the young woman that had journeyed with them and if she was okay back in her own time.
______________________________________________________________________
Neo–Gotham
Huntress was back on the building roof that she was on before Wormhole had went and stolen her, before that crazy adventure, panicking, Huntress used her undamaged hand and called her dad, she waited for a few rings before someone picked up on the other end, “Helena?” Terry said, making Helena give a nervous laugh that he was okay, “Helena, is everything okay?” Terry had asked,
“Yeah!” she went before calming down, “Yeah, Terr–Bear, can you please put Grumpy Rock on the phone?” she had asked, “One sec.” He said, making the vigilante wait in anticipation before she heard him, “Everything good, Helena?” Bruce had asked his daughter, making her grin, “Yeah, Dad, I just wanted to say that I love you.” she had told him and Helena could hear the smile in his voice.
“You’re back.” He said, remembering now that the Timer set on The Jarrotech was on zero, “Yeah, oh and can you please have Terry come pick me up? I’m about to collapse and won’t be able to move.” she said before falling down on the ground now, her uniform looked like she went through a fire, she was bloodied, had cracked ribs and a broken limb, and now it was raining, but as Helena Wayne looked up into the sky, she couldn’t help but laugh, grateful that everything was back the way it should be.
