ARC Nine: Infinite Crisis

Chapter Eighty Two: Your Strength

While not as comfortable as their previous base, the mansion floating in a void outside of their normal dimension served as a good place to recuperate after the battles they had...three days ago. It was now six days into the Convergence and everyone was doing their best to keep their wits about them. The superheroes would regularly venture out to deal with rioters and supervillains trying to take advantage of the chaos occuring.

All except Batman, he was forced to stay behind, for the very reason of healing.

"...Here."

"Thanks."

Knight Subaru was with his group in their assigned room. Due to this mansion not being as spacious as Roswaal's or even the House of Mystery, people would have to share rooms.

Subaru gazed around at his friends, all of them simply drained of spirit. Beatrice sat on the floor, her back to the wall, looking out the window into the void around them. Rem was on the bed hugging a pillow, she had her moments when she would cry thinking of her sister. Otto was sitting next to the window counting what magic stones he had left, his eyes no longer having any glimmer to them. Lewes Meyer, the original one, freed from her crystal prison in the Sanctuary, fixed her hair, even if she had been doing so for the last twenty minutes.

The spirits of the five witches, housed in crystals were moving around as they waited for any information of what was happening out there, in the world.

Emilia wiped her face with a warm towel as she was trying to relax, but of course not even that was enough for her.

Subaru fixed his suit and cleaned his blade a bit. He frowned as he thought of the past six days and all the losses they had suffered. He let out a small breath, as he walked to let Rem rest her head on his lap. He brushed her hair, doing his best to make her feel better.

Normal Subaru was sitting on the couch as he let his wife, Satoko rest her head on his shoulder. Holding her carefully, he cradled his baby. Relena was fast asleep for the moment as he was then approached by Starfire.

"How's she doing?"

"Good, she seems to be doing alright for the most part."

"Yeah, I guess she's lucky."

It got quiet between them, before Subaru had to speak up.

"Listen, about your friends...I can't really express how sorry I am for what happened to them."

"Thank you Mr. Natsuki, I a-appreciate that. But for my people, where I'm from at least, on Tamaran we appreciate the past. We respect it. But we don't live there. We live here. Now. In the moment."

She had a hand on her chest as she gave her speech, Subaru nodded as he looked down at his baby.

"Yeah, that's a nice way of thinking…"

"It still hurts, but I have to live on and make sure you live, otherwise their sacrifices meant nothing."

"Sure, I know we'll win."

Starfire nodded, giving a little wave to him and the baby before walking away, making sure to hide her pained expression.

Married Subaru sat with his wife on their bed as she was fast asleep hugging him, her eyes tired from her crying. Subaru was also depressed, along with everyone around them. Emilia sat on Julius' lap as she hugged her tired daughter Lia. Julius himself was rubbing his forehead as he was in deep contemplating.

He couldn't help but glance at Ram and her own daughter Reiko, they sat on a finely made chair. Reiko sat on her mothers lap, sleeping away as best as she could...while her mother had refused to eat anything and was in quite the terrible condition.

"Y-Yuuji…"

"...Ram."

Julius was pained to see Ram in the despate state she was in. Not only her, but everyone was heartbroken by the deaths of Yuuji and Sylvia. Rigel was doing his best to distract his sister, but every once in a while she would ask him.

"Where's Sylvia-onee san?"

"...She's...She's out, maybe we'll see her later, okay?"

"Hm, okay…"

Rigel held back any negative emotions he had inside, not wanting to frighten her sister at all...he had to be strong at this moment. Still…

Every time he closed his eyes, he couldn't help but see the images of Dark Lord Subaru grinning wildly and his older self leering back at him. He would have trouble sleeping.

But so did everyone else for that matter.

Kararagian Batman returned with Halibel to check on the family. When they opened the door they saw them all asleep on a large bed, though funnily enough, Rigel seemed to be the most uncomfortable having his father have his hands on his face to hold Rem's own hand, even while she held Spica with her other free arm.

"It's good to see Su-san and the others relaxing."

"Sure, but while I think it's good they are able to be like that, we still need to look at the situation at hand."

"...Always have to be the serious one huh?"

Batman removed his helmet to let his ponytail be free for a moment as he scratched his beard.

"Halibel, I do have concern that this war is being lost even as we speak."

"But we still have a chance don't we?"

"Maybe so, but the chances of our victory are honestly slipping away by every minute."

Halibel crossed his arms as he leaned on the doorframe.

"These past few days have been nothing but stress, I can't recall when I've felt like this before."

"I think it's just adding to the problem. Everyone is tired, even after three days of rest, no one seems to be ready to fight."

"Can you blame them?"

"...No."

"And you aren't worried about Tia, we haven't seen her since the Convergence?"

"She's a strong woman, she'll be fine. As long as she doesn't attract too much attention…"

"That may be impossible you know?"

"...Got a point there."

Batman sighed as he turned around to leave the family to rest, Halibel not far behind as he softly closed the door behind him.

Saia laid on her given bed as Erick and Roy sat on some chairs. It was indeed quiet in their room, they were still reeling from the betrayal of Roswaal and Rey. Roy took it the hardest and cried whenever he would try to sleep. Erick got up as he stretched his arms.

"I think I'll get us something to snack on."

"No no, Erick-sama, Roy can get it, it is a butler's duty."

Erick put a hand on his shoulder to stop him from getting up.

"Roy, you just sit down and take a load off, I just want to walk around for a bit...okay?"

"V-Very well then."

Erick smiled as he got up to the door, he looked back to Saia, who smiled back at him. He nodded as he walked to the hallway.

His face grew serious as he summoned Pax out of her crystal.

"Well?"

Pax shook her head disappointingly.

"Borris won't answer me, I do think he's joined the Society along with the other two."

"Why? How could they join such a group?"

"They may have an ulterior motive we don't know about."

"...I still can't forgive them."

Erick frowned as he continued walking down the empty hallways.

Roy held himself between his eyes as he tried to get a hold of himself. Then he heard Saia…

"Hey Roy, can you come over here a second?"

"Oh, yes indeed."

He got up, shook his head a bit. Taking a soft breath he went to sit at the edge of the bed, Saia sat up with her legs crossed. They both sat there in silence.

"Roy."

"Yes Saia-chan?"

"Are you doing fine with all this?"

He stared at her for a moment, before putting on a fake smile.

"Why of course, Roy is doing just fine."

"...You don't have to lie."

Roy's lip wavered a bit, but soon he smiled again.

"Whatever do you mean Saia-chan? Roy would never lie to-"

He was then pulled back and Saia hugged him around the neck. His eyes trembled as Saia rubbed his soft blue hair.

"Roy, I know you're hurting. I am hurt too by what Rey and Roswaal did, but you don't have to hide it. I'm here Roy, I promise to help you in any way I can."

"Now that I lost Return by Death, I can't help as much as I was able to before. Still, I want to help the people I care about more than anything. So...let me help you Roy."

"Saia…"

Roy turned his body to hug her more intimately. She held him close as he whimpered into her chest. She took care of him as she would a child...then he grabbed her arms and removed them for a moment. He raised himself and looked into her eyes, she could see the tears attempting to form in the corner of his eyes.

She was then pulled to him, all so he could land a kiss on her lips.

Her eyes widened as their lips rubbed against each other. It was her first kiss…

"Mmf."

Roy removed himself, before he pushed her into the bed, her head landing on the pillows. He looked again at her before getting his face closer to her again, both of their cheeks bright pink.

"...Saia-chan, I love you."

"Wh-"

"-I've, been in love with you for some time...and Roy wants to prove it to you."

Roy kissed her again but with more passion, slipping his tongue into her mouth. Saia then grabbed his shoulders, to push him away, but he was so wrapped up in what he was doing that he ignored it. He bit her lips tenderly and began kissing her neck, she moaned as she was unable to even speak...then she clawed his shoulders. This time he did feel it and he looked down at her in utter shock at what he saw.

"Please...Roy…"

She had tears fall from her cheek, sobbing a bit as she did. Roy covered his mouth and panicked at what he had just done. He got off the bed and raced off.

"Roy! Wait-"

He slammed open the door and ran out of the room. Saia fixed her hair a bit and chased after him.

"Roy! Come back!"

She chased him for a while, before finally grabbing his shoulder. He turned to look at her, before he was slapped in the face. She then pulled him into a hug.

"Stupid...I asked you to wait."

"S-Saia-chan?"

"...I...didn't ask for that kiss, but I wouldn't say...it wasn't nice."

Both of their faces went red, but Saia removed him from the hug and took his hand, leading him back to their room.

"Don't ever do that without asking, you hear me?"

"Y-Yes."

"...Also don't run away from me."

He looked as Saia put on a pleading face.

"You, Pax and Erick...you're all I have left right now…"

She gripped his hand tighter than ever.

"So don't leave me."

"...Roy understands, and will follow your orders."

"Silly."

She gave him a smile.

Roy knew that she loved Erick, that was to be expected...he always knew this and it did hurt him when he thought about it...but now, he feels as though she at least understands his feelings.

They met Erick as he arrived back with some snacks.

"Hey where have you two been?"

"Roy was scared to go to the bathroom so I walked him there."

"Oh how sweet."

Roy flinched and his face turned red...he then pouted at her, only for her to giggle and put on a mischievous smile.

Both men were happy to see her usual smile come back to her.

Green Lantern met with Subaru as he was now back in his usual tracksuit.

"Hey Subaru, how you, um, holding up?"

"Fine thank you."

"And Emilia?"

"...She's still not talking to me."

They both looked down as they had their thoughts on the two people seemingly most affected by the ordeals they faced in recent days. Emilia lounged about in her room, refusing to speak to anyone.

Frederica was refusing to see anyone except Sarah, not even her fiance was allowed into her room.

Bruce was a mess, he was made to sit on a bed instead of a normal chair, after they found him ripping out his nails scratching the armrests so much. While he did calm down eventually, he was still not going to see Frederica. The last time he tried to see her, she had a violent outburst and kicked him out.

Subaru looked out the window at the void outside of where they were and took a deep breath.

"I'm going to see if I can fix all this."

"How's that?"

"I need to see Emilia one more time."

Green Lantern rubbed the back of his head as he could see the determination in his eyes. He couldn't help but wish him luck.

"Have at it then."

Subaru was now outside of Emilia's given room, ironically sitting on a chair almost guarding it, was Rem, now back in her custom maid outfit.

"Subaru-kun."

"Hey Rem."

"So, you're going to try again with Emilia-sama?"

"Yeah, I'm not one to give up right?"

"Nope not at all."

She got up from her seat and they both stood next to each other. Subaru knocked.

"Emilia, it's me and Rem. We're coming in."

Subaru and Rem heard nothing, so thye opened and found Emilia cradling herself as she laid on her bed.

She looked up...and frowned.

"What is it?"

"...I want to talk."

"Talk? That's rich. And what do you want to 'talk' about?"

Emilia now sat up and narrowed her brows at them. She was wearing a tanktop and shorts, she was given them after she tore up her clothes in a fit of rage after her last arguing with Subaru.

"Emilia, please come out, everyone's worried."

"Liar, if anything you Rem have been the only ones to visit me."

"Hey, that's not fair. Everyone is struggling out there, the heroes still have a job to do and our friends are still trying to figure out what's going on out there."

"Emilia, listen to me...I'm sad about Puck too."

"But you're not the only one who's lost someone in this fight, remember that. You're not the only one hurting. Like you, Frederica won't come out of her room."

"...It is sad what happened to her."

"I know, but listen to me. I understand completely you're upset, damn it all of us are fucking upset. But locking yourself away won't solve anything. I want you to come out already."

"I just…"

Emilia gripped her shoulders.

"I'm afraid Subaru."

"I'm angry at the Anti-Monitor...but I'm also afraid of him. I've never been so scared of anything in my life. Coming out of this room, makes me nervous and-"

Then Emilia was softly touched on her hand by Rem.

"Rem?"

"Emilia-sama, it's alright to be scared. Rem thinks we all are afraid and anxious at this moment. However, this not the time to lose heart, we've been given these rings for a reason. Rem thinks they are. Emilia-sama much like this ring signifies, I love Subaru, and my sister, all the others as well...and that includes you too."

"...Rem."

"So Rem wants someone she loves to come out with us. Step out and let us fight together."

Rem walked over and hugged her around the shoulders. Emilia touched one of her hands softly, tears forming in her eyes. Subaru got to his feet to wipe away strand of her tears with his finger. The cool touch of his metal hand got her attention.

"Emilia-tan. Whether it's the ring I got making me say this or not, I don't want you to lose hope. I want to take your hand and give you the hope to step out with us and face the Society. I made a promise to Puck to take care of you. And I will. Did you forget? I am your knight. Your strength...and the person that loves you."

"S...ub...aru"

"Emilia...come out with us. Please, when things get tough for any of us, lets lean on each other for help, all three of us. We're in this together, okay?"

"Y-Yeah…"

Emilia nodded as she got out of her bed and Subaru handed her the coat he was wearing days ago. She took both their hands and they stepped out into the hallways, right then and there Captain Cold watched them.

"Well, I guess he'd be the one to do it."

He chuckled to himself as he continued to his own room, before sighing in the shadows.

Batman was outside Frederica's room as he took a deep breath. He knocked twice, before the door opened and Sarah opened it.

"Bruce."

"Sarah, I want to talk to Frederica."

"...Yes, Let us see if that'll work today."

They entered, and Batman slightly flinched when he saw Frederica in an almost catatonic state looking at the sheets covering her lower half. She looked up and slightly frowned.

"What do you want Bruce?"

"Frederica, I need to speak with you, is that alright?"

"...Do as you please."

Batman took a seat on a chair set next to Frederica's bed, Sarah stood on the other side to let the two have their face to face moment.

"Frederica, I want to know what's wrong."

"What's wrong? OUR CHILD IS DEAD, THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG! And no one has been able to find that bastard Rigel and end him already!"

"Is that what you want? To kill the other Rigel."

Frederica bared her fangs at him, but he remained calm.

"OF COURSE."

"That will not solve anything-"

"How can you dare think like that?! He is a murderer and a man we need to bring to justice!"

"You want revenge, not justice Frederica."

"...Look at you…"

She scoffed at him, as tears formed around her eyes.

"Even when he killed your own flesh and blood, you still wouldn't do it?"

"...No."

Gripping her sheets, tears flooded out of her eyes as she yelled at him, her hair scammering around from all her yelling.

"Is that how it is then?! I seem to have overestimated you my beloved fiance! Too much of coward to have your conscience plunged into revenge, even a child that was not even able to see our faces?!"

"..."

"I see! I see how you didn't for once think or care about that, did you?! Not even the slightest moment did you want justice for our baby! Just dawdling around doing nothing but-"

SLAP!

Frederica held her now red marked cheek, Batman got up a tad from his seat as he looked at the person who hit her.

"Sarah…"

Sarah calmly lowered her hand and stared down at Frederica.

"You fool."

"What?"

"YES, I CALLED YOU A FOOL!"

Frederica and Batman were shocked by her actually yelling at her.

"How can you say that Bruce hasn't thought about it?! Yes, While you've been locked away in this room, Bruce has been in numerous tirades and rampages throughout the mansion! I have never seen tears fall from his face before that day and yet he shed tears as we held him, all for the child he bore with you!"

"I have had to watch him to make sure he didn't go out with the heroes and take out his anger on somebody. And I had to help heal him when his hands were bloodied by his outbursts of rage! And yet you would sit there and say he didn't care? DON'T FUCK WITH ME!"

She slapped her again, making Batman get up from his seat and grab her hand.

"Stop it!"

"Incorrect, I have to tell her how much this has burdened you and me as well. She probably doesn't even know how everytime she kicked you out, you would stay by her door for hours at a time or it was you who asked them to bring her the meals she would favor the most and how when she was asleep...you would come in and give her a goodnight kiss."

"...Wuh?"

"Yes, you hear me?! He did all those because he does care! About you! BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU!...And so do I."

Sarah had tears fall from her eyes now, as she looked away from her.

"I care for you to. I wanted to be there when the child was born...help you raise it and love like my own family...YOU THINK I DON'T HAVE THE DESIRE TO HUNT DOWN RIGEL AS WELL AND KILL HIM? I DO…but what I want most is to not lose this."

"This?"

"Us. All three of us. I...don't want our bonds to be broken by this."

"Sarah…"

She wiped her tears away and did a little sniffle as she now looked back to her.

"I love Bruce Wayne as my husband. I love you as the wife he picked first….I WANT US TOGETHER."

Silence filled the room.

Batman let go of Sarah's hand, he looked down as he took a deep breath and began walking away. Finally, Frederica slowly reached out her hand.

"Bruce…"

He slowly grabbed the door handle and began to leave, but...as he was turning it to close-

"BRUUUUUUCE!"

He stopped and looked back into the room. Frederica was reaching out to him with both hands, her face a mess as she whimpered and cried.

"BRUCE, I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! PLEASE!"

Batman ran back and quickly gave her a powerful hug, she hugged him back with all her might as she cried painfully to him.

"Bruce! I love you! I love you! Please! I don't want to lose you too! Stay with me! I love you! DON'T GO! PLEASE!"

"I won't."

"It hurt! It still hurts! The pain of losing our child!"

"I know."

"And…."

"And?"

She bit her lips as her crying became more and more pained.

"When I look at the young Rigels...I think of him...and...AND….AND I BLAME THEM!"

"..."

"I FEEL SO DISGUSTED THINKING OF THOSE INNOCENT CHILDREN LIKE THAT! I...I-!"

"-It's okay, I'm here...let it all out."

"A….U…..UWAAAHHHHHHHH!"

She cried loudly as she hugged him tightly...Sarah moved back, but Batman removed one of his arms and motioned it to her.

"I can't let the other girl I love get left out."

"...!"

Sarah also began to cry and she leaped into the hug, both girls hugged him and cried.

Bruce just closed his eyes as he stayed there for quite a while.

Wonder Woman passed by the door, she did a small smile for the group in question as she floated away until she saw Heretic.

She landed to face him as he removed his helmet. Revealing a blue eyed young man, with a buzzed haircut; with scars littering his face.

"Damian."

"And what do you need?"

"Are you alright with all this?"

He glared at her, to the point where even she was getting angry, before he slammed a fist against the wall.

"That baby was still my half sister, of course I'm not."

"Sorry."

"...it's nothing to apologize for. When I catch him, I'll kill him myself."

"..."

He walked past her as he peered his gaze at her, the shadows of the halls enveloping him.

"Father has changed."

"Bruce has changed, I think for the better."

"...I wonder about that."

She looked out the window at the starless night sky, she smirked.

"He has his two guiding stars right now."

She turned back, only to see no one was there at all.

"Been a while since that happened."

She quietly reminisced about the nostalgic feeling she had, leaving the halls to the shadows and doorways.

Petra was serving Otto tea as he was fixing his slightly torn plaid shirt.

"Otto, do you think we should be worried about them?"

"Who exactly?"

"You know...the couples."

Otto raised his brows as he set his cup down, then gave a thumbs up and winked at her.

"Don't worry, I think they should be alright. They all love each other very much, so I would say that things should be alright."

"I hope so."

She did a polite bow to him as she left.

He got more comfortable in his seat, even as he had Pamela's legs on his lap as she was asleep on the couch with him.

He smiled at her, but was worried about one thing.

"When this is all over, what we will she decide to do?"

Pamela heard those words, but pretended to be asleep.

Crusch sipped on some tea as Black Adam floated over to her.

"And how is the duchess doing?"

"Please Adam-sama, right now I'm just a regular person."

"...In a way that would be the case. However, you now hold a Green Lantern ring, that gives you some purpose in all this."

She looked into her uniform pocket and pulled out her ring, she moved it around and stared at it.

"I wonder if I can carry the burden?"

"If Wilhelm's or Felix's devotion to you is any measure, then the answer would be yes."

"...I hope so."

She put it back into her pocket as they stared out into the void.

"Can we really put things back to the way it was?"

"We can. It will take time, so be what that ring chose you to be and be courageous."

She took a deep breath as she gripped her sword's hilt, she turned around and gave a brave expression.

"A Karsten is always brave, Adam-sama."

"Then it is as it should be."

He nodded to her as he floated away. Crusch saw her camp members come to her down a hallway, so she decided to meet with them and put on a determined look for them.

Felt was walking alongside Flash...she decided to ask him what to do about her feelings for Bruce.

"Wow, Bruce sure is popular."

"Take this seriously will ya?!"

"Right! Well Felt, I have to say you have the competition."

She looked down disappointingly, but raised her shoulders to look back at him.

"Maybe so, but I was one of the first people he met in the other world, so that gives me points in something right?!"

"In a way yes...but…"

"But?"

"You're underage."

"AGH!"

She shook her head as she realized he had a point.

"S-Still, if I work on my looks and get older he'll turn his attention to me right?"

"I would say yes, but Bruce is out of my realm of expertise y'know?"

"Jeez, have to talk to the world's fastest idiot!"

"Harsh there!"

He scratched his head but kneeled down to speak eye to her.

"Look Felt, you're young still, so I would say wait and see if these feelings you have for him last or not. If you're of age and still like him, ask him. Until then, just keep being friends with him and don't make things awkward. Okay?"

"Sure...but…"

"But…?"

"ARE YOU KNEELING DOWN BECAUSE YOU'RE CALLING ME SHORT?!"

"UWAH?!"

He was hit in the shin by Felt, while he could have dodged it easily, he figured he would just let her let off some steam.

"Ouch!"

"HMPH!"

But her pouting gesture walking away and his aching shin...made him slightly regret it.

Mimi was sitting with Garfiel on a bed looking at something called a 'phone' as they played around with it...they soon got a little tired and laid down on the bed.

But soon Garfiel and Mimi were facing each other, so they decided to kiss. Then when their kiss ended, Garfiel decided to take the initiative and hugged Mimi around the back...she hugged him back and they kissed more passionately.

"G..Gaarf…"

"Y...Yea.."

She held his chin and looked away embarrassed.

"You know Mimi loves you? You do right? Right?"

"Mimi."

She closed her eyes waiting for a response, then she was kissed in the neck and got a small nibble on her ear, making her moan a bit.

"I luv ya too."

"Garf."

"Come here."

They began kissing again...as Garfiel began stroking her tail and Mimi began removing his jersey jacket.

Outside the room, Ricardo was carrying away her brothers as they were demanding to be let go.

"Our sister might be in danger!"

"We won't let that ruffian do as he pleases!"

Ricardo sighed at their cries...but smiled as he looked back one last time.

"Take care of her, Garfiel."

Dr. Fate met with John Constantine on the roof of the mansion as they waited for their next visitor.

"There is the bugger."

The Phantom Stranger arrived.

"The last remaining Prime Subjects are here then?"

"Yes, they're here, safe for now."

Phantom Stranger turned to look at Dr. Fate.

"Well Phantom Stranger, tell us what's at stake."

"It's just as Ambush Bug said the entirety of the multiverse is at stake."

"Then our worlds could very well-"

"-Oh no Dr. Fate...it's worse than that."

Both of them soon glanced at each other before looking back at Phantom Stranger.

"What do you mean by that?"

"...If what the forces of the universe are pondering about is actually happening...ALL OF EXISTENCE ITSELF IS IN DANGER."

"...What does that mean?"

"...THE END OF EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAS BEEN OR EVER WILL BE."

All three of them stood there in silence.

Supergirl charged forward as her fist collided with Anti-Monitors, the resulting shockwave sent sand high into the air and flattened all the dunes within a three mile radius. The gigantic being then hit her down with a chop. She soon shot back up and uppercutted him. Only to see it did nothing to him at all.

He shot a beam from his fingers and sent her flying, but soon she fired her eye beams and the two projectiles clashed. She soon zipped behind him, only for him to smack her away and into what was left of Mogo. She crashed into the planet with the force of a meteor, causing a third of the planet to be destroyed. She got up even as her costume was ripped to shreds, but soon saw a beam shoot for her, so she flew away and did several twirls around the sun.

She absorbed more energy from it and gained extra strength to fight back. She hovered over him and took a deep breath.

"HRAGHHHH!"

She fired a heat vision beam so large it dwarfed her completely, Anti-Monitor simply shrugged at this and fired four different colored beams from his right hand, splitting the attack apart. It broke apart the floating landmass they were on, but the other Society members charged on as they were closing in on the tower.

Shaula fired her needles at them, but Master Swordsman Batman slashed them away...making Cyborg open a boom tube behind them as he picked up all the surviving Partisans.

"Come on let's go! We have to get a move on!"

"What about these intruders?!"

"...Supergirl asked to leave this to her, we have to trust her."

"...NO. Sensei left me in care of this place so-"

Red Tornado formed a small wind cyclone under, making her jump back...giving Cyborg the chance to toss her into the boomtube, Meili was not far behind.

"Metal Onii San, Red Onii San! Hurry!"

Cyborg and Red Tornado looked over the scene as they saw Anti Monitor moving through the gigantic plume of smoke and sand.

"Come on Kara. You got this!"

They left through the boom tube, just as the Society invaded the tower.

Supergirl was floating the air...her left eye burned away and right arm cut to bits.

"I've killed you before Supergirl! Give this up!"

She smirked with her teeth covered in blood.

"I ain't that Supergirl, Anti-Monitor! It won't be the same as last time!"

Anti-Monitor slowly opened his mouth as it began glowing.

"You're right."

Anti-Monitor fired a humongous death ray out of his mouth that made him look small. Supergirl braved through it...but soon her body was breaking apart. She thought of one thing...as she charged through with everything in her body and landed one last punch on his face.

"...I'm sorry Kal."

Supergirl evaporated.

Anti-Monitor took a step back as he rubbed his face.

"Used up too much energy?"

He thought about it for a while, when the thought came to him.

"Kryptonian scum. Should've just died with your planet."

He continued forward as he looked inside.

"Well?"

"The first obstacle is taken care of."

Master Swordsman Batman said this, as he stood on top of the defeated Reid Astrea.

Cyborg and the others made it to the mansion in the void, Superman flew to them.

"What happened?"

"No good, Anti-Monitor and his goons made it to the tower!"

"...W…"

That's when Superman noticed it…

"Where's Kara?"

Cyborg looked away and Superman fell to his knees.

Back at the tower they were breaching the underground sections, when the female Roswaal made it to the Anti-Monitor.

"I have brought you the spell book you required."

Omega arrived as well.

"And here is the relics you have requested."

"Good, now we begin the preparations to free Satella and purify all of existence."

Everyone seemed to nod in agreement with this. Then he glanced down to four people.

"Have we tracked down where they might be?"

"Close, but we need them to come out more."

Anti-Monitor squatted down and looked at them more closely.

"Grab their attention."

"Will do."

Rigel, Spica, Reese and Justice Executioner Rem nodded as they began preparations to move out.

"I…"

Rem, piloting the Justice Buster began muttering to herself…

"I WILL AVENGE YOU NEE-SAMA."

Rage filled her eyes as they continued moving through the desert and left through a portal.

Back at the mansion, Captain Cold was about to leave when he noticed a particular someone.

"Hey. Under Pressure?"

"Hehe, Burns a building down?"

"Good alright you got it!"

Captain Cold and Emilia chuckled as they did their same routine.

"Heading off to go catch some bad guys, not usually my thing, but I'm feeling bored cooped up in here, wanna come?"

"Hmmmm…"

She thought about it for a bit. She knew Subaru and Rem warned her not to venture outside into the world as there was still trouble lurking about.

But she knew people were in danger.

She had to help, it was in her nature.

"Sure, why not?"

"Cool, let's get going."

Emilia and Captain Cold left through a portal...not knowing what conflict was soon about to encounter them.

Though emotional wounds are cured, the ever approaching disaster still loomed ahead...
