Chapter XXXIX: The Invasion Begins.
Last Time.
Clayface came out with a distorted face only to swallow more grenades that froze him. Naruto dived inside and grabbed the vial before slicing his way out. Naruto gave it to Batman who drank half. His face started to regain color before Joker stabbed him in the shoulder with a shiv. "NO!"
Naruto dived and caught the vial before standing up, dashed to Joker, and punched him in the stomach. Naruto grabbed his head and forced him to drink the rest of the cure before knocking him out. "I had Miss Martian make copies of the cure, in case we need more," Naruto said before slinging Joker over his shoulder.
Arkham City Entrance January 19, 04:15 EST.
The Police stood at the entrance with several inmates as Batman and Kage walked out and put Joker in an ambulance. "We should have more of that cure for the other infected, Jim," Naruto said before looking up. He saw a shadowed female figure float above them before flying off. 'If what that Azrael guy said was true, you'll be coming home soon, Megaera. At least, I hope.' He thought to himself before walking away.
Later, Naruto jumped onto a rooftop where he saw Cheshire with several cuts the tears on her costume. "So, what happened to you?" He asked as she shrugged.
"Helped Selina deal with Harvey. He stole her belongings. We just got the last of it now. I'll see you at home, so we can both relieve some pent-up stress from this whole debacle." She trailed a finger along his jaw before walking away.
Naruto watched her leave with a smile as he saw holes on her pants, showing her green panties before leaving himself to deal with any prisoners still left in the City.
Now.
Blüdhaven December 1 2015, 08:16 EST.
Dick yawned as he looked at his laptop that was sitting on a desk where a Skype of Wally and Stephanie was on. Dick has grown considerably taller, roughly the same height as Bruce, and as well-muscled. His hair has grown considerably longer past his ears. He's wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black pajama pants.
"Happy Birthday!" Dick smiled at the screen.
Wally has also grown noticeably taller and seemed to have outgrown his freckles. He's wearing a red jacket over a yellow shirt.
Stephanie has cut her hair to shoulder length and wearing a black tank top.
"Thanks! What are you two doing up? it's like five in the morning there." Dick said as Stephanie smiled.
"I'm always up this early. Naruto got us up for training and breakfast before going to the Cave. It just stuck with me."
Wally sheepishly smiled at that. "And I'm cramming for a test."
"Dick? Who are you talking to?"
Dick looked back to see Starfire in a purple bra and lace panties. Over the years, Star has grown into a beautiful woman. She's gained an hourglass figure, her hair has grown to reach her ass, and her breasts grew to D-cup.
"Holy shi-!"
Dick closed the laptop as Stephanie slapped Wally upside the head for ogling. "Hey, Star. I didn't mean to wake you." Dick said as he got up.
"That's alright. Happy Birthday."
Dick smirked at that before speaking. "No more, 'Day of the Birth', Star?" Her eyebrow twitched at the jab of how she used to talk.
"Yeah. Keep it up, Mr. 'Aster," She said while wrapping her arms around his neck, just as he wrapped his around her waist.
Mount Justice December 1, 8:30 EST.
"Recognized: Kage, 17."
Naruto walked inside with a new costume. It's a black costume composed of a kevlar hooded vest with a leather appearance and pants. He has pauldrons with canisters on them and elbow-length fingerless gloves and boots.
He removed his hood showing that his hair is much shorter and spikier. Taking off his glasses, Naruto looked at the Team. He smiled as he thought of the new members the Team has gained and lost over the years before looking back.
He looked at Nightwing, his uniform is a black unitard, black shoulder pads, boots, and gloves. The chest area of his uniform is emblazoned with a blue bird with its wings expanded and his abdomen area is colored in a lighter gray. He's wearing a black utility belt and carries his eskrima sticks in a holster on the side of his right leg.
Naruto looked to the next two members of the recently dubbed, 'Bat Family.' Barbara Gordon A.K.A. Batgirl and Tim Drake, the new Robin.
Barbara has gained a slender and fairly muscular build. She's wearing a dark gray form-fitting costume with a black bat symbol, and black padding at the abdomen and lower back. She also has black boots, gloves, and a black cape and cowl. And a yellow utility belt.
Tim is a young teenage male with a muscular build and short black hair. His attire is similar yet distinguished from Dick's old costume, in that he wears a red and black suit with a stylized yellow 'R' symbol on the left side of his chest. The suit covers Robin's entire arm.
He also has black gloves and a black cape, with the inside being yellow and having a shape similar to Batman's cape. He covers his eyes with a black domino mask.
'For someone who's always preferred to work alone, Bruce sure has a lot of proteges.' Naruto thought before looking at Superboy and his daughter.
Conner hasn't changed much except growing to 6'1 and his hair has grown a little and is a little messy. He's wearing a long-sleeved variation on his traditional black shirt with a red S-shield and fingerless gloves.
His daughter has grown to 5'10 and has a muscular build like her mother. her hair is now mid back and she swapped out her costume for a black sleeveless shirt and pants with stars covering them. She still has her silver wrist protectors and earrings.
"Hello, Donna." Naruto greeted having her wave back with a smile.
Naruto looked to see a teenage girl, who's Diana's new protege and has taken the mantle of 'Wonder Girl'. Wonder Girl has a slender yet muscular build with blue eyes and blonde hair with unkempt bangs. Her hair is long, running down her back, and she has a black headband.
She's wearing a black sleeveless top with two stylized golden 'W's on it. She has red pants with two white stripes on the sides, and blue shoes. Like Wonder Woman, she wears two silver bracelets and silver star earrings, and a golden lasso that hangs at her waist.
Naruto looked to see La'gann standing beside her who hasn't changed much other than growing taller.
Naruto saw Mal standing beside Karen. she now has her hair in a pixie haircut with a sweep bang. She's wearing a black and yellow costume that resembles a bumblebee.
Naruto saw Wolf sleeping before walking to Miss Martian and Garfield. She's wearing her stealth outfit and has short hair.
"Hey, Gar," Naruto said as he looked down at his adoptive little brother.
After the incident with Queen Bee, Naruto brought Marie and Garfield to live with them in Gotham. About a year after getting M'gann's blood, Garfield's skin became a pale green complexion with green eyes and dark green hair.
He's in a simian-like form, having dark green fur and a prehensile monkey tail in proportion to his size. He's wearing a red and white single-piece uniform.
Naruto noticed Miss Martian look away from him causing him to frown before looking at the Team. His train of thought was interrupted as the Zeta-Tube lit up. "Recognized: Rocket, 27. Zatanna, 26."
Zatanna has grown noticeably taller, sporting a more curvaceous frame. Her mission attire is more alluring, showing her cleavage and her hair became wavier with strands hanging over her ears to frame her face.
Rocket hasn't changed much, other than gaining a more curvaceous frame.
"Justice Leaguers in the house! You girls forget to Zeta to the Watchtower?" Mal asked while looking back as Naruto walked forward and pulled Zatanna in for a kiss.
Naruto pulled back and saw a tribal seal peaking out from her shoulder. He leaned his forehead against hers, remembering when he started giving his family seals to protect them from any mental attacks.
He notices her glare at Miss Martian before sighing. "Hey, now. It's alright, Zatanna." He immediately regretted speaking as she glared at him.
"Are you telling me it's fine that she tried to use her powers on you to make you forget?! If you didn't get the seals done in time!"
Naruto sighed, remembering breaking up with M'gann over the summer after she's been turning people into vegetables after using her mental powers on them to force information out of their minds. "No, I'm not saying that, Zatanna. But now's not the time to worry about that."
She huffed before walking to Nightwing and kissed him on the cheek as did Rocket. "Happy Birthday. Now, we do need to get to the Watchtower."
Naruto walked to Rocket and smiled at her. "Congratulations. On both becoming a League member and the engagement." She smiled before leaving as Naruto walked to the Team and spoke up. "OK! Mission time. I'll be leading Alpha while M'gann will lead Beta. Wonder Girl will be with me while Batgirl, Superboy, Troia, Beast Boy, and Lagoon Boy will be with M'gann." Naruto noticed Miss Martian's eyes widen at him giving her leadership of the Team.
"Beta will watch Noor Harjavti. This rally's for her fundraiser. Ever since her Father's assassination, she's the only voice speaking out against Queen Bee. And she'll stop at nothing to stop her as well. Robin, Batman needs your help in Gotham. Nightwing, you want in on either mission? I know you haven't been out of the cave ever sin-!" He was interrupted by Nightwing who walked away.
"I'll help you and Alpha out."
Naruto sighed as the Teams left. "M'gann," Naruto called out as Miss Martian stopped behind him. "Be careful. You have my kunai if you need me. And you'll be in Metropolis, so Superman will be there to cover the event." She looked down before nodding. "And M'gann."
"Yes." She answered before Naruto turned around.
"You still keep the mind protection seal on you as well? I don't know if real tattoos stay on you." She nodded as she had her hair above her neck dissolve showing the seal. "Yes. I'm still surprised you did that." Naruto sighed as he crossed his arms.
"M'gann. The entire Team has it. Even after our breakup... You are still a Team member and I will protect you with my life." Miss Martian turned around and looked down sadly as she left.
Metropolis December 1, 09:50 EST.
Megan, wearing black pants and a pink shirt, looked to see Conner wearing a leather jacket.
Beside him is Donna wearing a blue trench coat coming down to her shins. She looked to a tree and saw Beast Boy as a green bird with his costume as a collar.
"Psychic link is up. Confirm status."
"Superboy, ready."
Karen looked back, wearing a brown jacket and orange shirt. "Bumblebee, ready."
Barbara kept an eye on the crowd wearing a black jacket and black jeans with her hair in a ponytail. "Batgirl, ready."
"Troia, ready." Megan nodded before hearing another voice.
"Lagoon boy..." She heard from above where the Bio-Ship hovered in camouflage mode. "Ready and bored." She sighed before speaking.
"La'gann. You would draw too much attention. But you're our backup in case anything happens."
El Paso December 1, 07:50 MST.
Kage flew in the Supercycle with Nightwing and Wonder Girl. "Let Star know that she can come back after she finishes with her finals," Naruto said to Nightwing who nodded.
"Hey, Boss, I just want you to know I'm pretty psyched that you chose me to be on Alpha Squad with you, Nightwing and Sphere." Sphere beeped before Wonder Girl continued. "Or am I not supposed to admit that?"
"It's okay to be excited, Cass. You should have seen Dick and Wally when the Team was founded." Naruto said as they closed in on a town. "Besides... You're the right girl for this. Who better than our newest recruit... to help me recruit the next member of the Team?"
Naruto took off his vest and put on a red shirt as Wonder Girl put a gray coat on over her shirt. Nightwing took off his mask and put on jeans, a black shirt under a blue button shirt, and sunglasses and stood on top of the high school.
"So, what do we know about this new Beetle?" Cassie asked as Naruto looked down.
"A lot. And very little. He's had to contact Peacemaker, Atom, and Guy Gardner. They all say he's a decent kid." Cassie looked shocked at that.
"Gardner too?! He doesn't like anyone!"
"I know, shocked me as well," Dick said before Naruto continued.
"He also doesn't have a mentor since the previous Blue Beetle was murdered when he was going past his lab. And he found the Scarab that gives him the armor. He mostly just uses it to fly around. And he still manages to be late for school."
A few minutes later a teen in a blue full-body suit, that looks like an insect flew down with large wings before it receded into his back, revealing himself as a teenage Hispanic male with light brown skin, short black hair, and brown eyes. He has a thin but fit frame. He's wearing a grey jacket over a black shirt and brown pants with white sneakers.
"There's Reyes. Go say hello, Cass." Naruto said as Cassie flew down and stopped in front of Jaime as he started walking on the steps.
"Hey, Jaime."
Jaime looked back and stared in confusion. "Hey... You." Cassie smiled as she walked to him.
"Can we talk?"
Jamie blinked at that. "Well... We're late for school, you know."
"It's about Blue Beetle." Jaime's eyes widened at that as he started backing up. "Whoa, wait, we just want to talk." Jaime continued backing up until he hit something.
"Wait... We?"
He turned to see both Naruto and Dick. "'We' just might be your new friends."
Metropolis December 1 10:18 EST.
Beta Squad kept an eye out for anything as Noor talked on the stage. Conner looked to see that Clark stopped by them with Jimmy. Suddenly, Devastation walked through the crowd as M'gann gave the order to get ready for the attack. As soon as the Team started to take off their jackets and Superman started flying in.
Suddenly Superman, Conner, and Donna disappeared in a flash of gold light. Megan put a hand to her ear before calling the Cave. "Beta Squad to Cave. Superboy and Troia just disappeared. They're outside the range of my link and our radios. As well as Superman and Devastation!"
After a moment, Mal spoke up. "It's bigger than that, M'gann. Conferencing with the Tower and Alpha Squad.."
After finding out several Leaguers and Villains have been disappearing, she heard Naruto speak up. "Miss Martian. Meet up with me in the Bio-Ship. We're now Gamma Squad. Batgirl, you'll be in charge of Beta, Noor still needs to be protected. Lagoon Boy, I'll fix another watch for you soon, but stay out of sight until something else happens."
The Moon December 1, 15:31 UTC.
Superboy woke up to see he was inside a crystal along with the villains the Team has faced over the years and several League members including Wonder Woman, Captain Marvel, and Captain Atom. Looking ahead, he saw Mary Marvel now in a young adult woman's body with her hair reaching her lower back.
He groaned as he heard screeching in his head as a crystal ball floated in front of him. "I can't... Think." He groaned before hearing both Marvel's yell.
"SHAZAM/SHAZAM!"
Two bolts of lightning hit them, showing a teenage Billy and Mary wearing red shirts and jeans.
Atom smiled before going into his human form, didn't hear the screech, and broke through his crystal prison. He broke Billy and Mary out as well as the heroes before they broke out the villains. Troia saw the Terror Twins and saw that Tommy became very muscular and grew taller.
Tuppence gained a little more muscle and is wearing tight shorts in place of her skirt
The Bio-Ship December 1, 10:50 EST.
"So, are we just going to ignore each other now?"
Miss Martian asked as Kage looked out the window. "I guess. You've not been interested in talking things out as of late." Naruto replied as he stared at the moon.
"Look, you broke up with me because you don't like the way I use my powers."
Naruto sighed at that. "The way you abuse your powers."
"I'm not doing anything they don't deserve!"
Naruto sighed at that before turning around. "Did I ever tell you about the time we were called to help out in another dimension?" He asked making her blink.
"The Lords? Yes. They were an evil version of the League." (1.)
Naruto shook his head at that. "No... They started to kill after Lex became president and was responsible for their Flash's death. My counterpart fought against that. Superman attacked him and tore his arm off as well as left him with scars that didn't heal. They tried to come here and lobotomized several criminals that stole food for their families because they, quote, 'Deserve it. They'll be the next super villain'."
"The entire planet was afraid of them. We had to make a deal with our Lex to make a weapon that would utilize our weaknesses to do so. Now, he did give it back to us and because we had him build it in S.T.A.R. Labs everything was destroyed and he can't make the weapon again, but he knows a way to beat us if he can get his hands on any of the materials he used before."
"If that's the way you feel, then why not tell my uncle? Or the League?" She asked as he dropped his head.
"I thought your love for me was stronger than that. But once you got caught... You tried to do the same to me. How can I ever trust you again, M'gann? After this is finished, I want to show you something." He finished as he turned back around, just missing M'gann shedding regretful tears.
Metropolis December 1, 13:45 EST.
Nightwing, Wonder Girl, and Blue Beetle flew down to see a large force field covering the City as Zatanna tried using spells on it in hopes of dispelling it. They landed and walked up to it. "Any luck?" Zatanna shook her head.
"No, and radio signals aren't going through. Neither are Zeta-Tubes or J'onn telepathy."
Martian Manhunter came up through the ground as Flash stopped by them with the Atom on his shoulder. Suddenly, Plastic Man came up through the ground in the shape of a drill. They talked over any plans as well as notifying any other League members that haven't disappeared but are on other missions before seeing a man beside Batgirl.
He is a bald African American male. He wears a black and blue unitard with lightning motifs, blue sleeves, black pants, and black shoes. To hide and protect his eyes, he has small goggles with yellow lenses.
Suddenly, a ship appeared above them and shot a green beam on the top of the dome. Nightwing brought up a holo screen with his logo on the side and started to type messages for the heroes inside the dome. "We need you to investigate a PROBE that landed inside Metropolis. It could be the source of this force field. Here are the coordinates."
Batgirl brought up a hacking device and had a screen of her pop-up. It had her bat symbol on it. "Lightning will investigate." She replied having the words come up before bringing up a cake as Black Lightning walked away. It blew up, having Nightwing chuckled.
"Yeah, I know. Some birthday."
Nightwing and his Team, along with Zatanna, flew up with Martian Manhunter to try and talk with the alien as Zatanna hid the city from sight with a Glamour. They flew in and saw a tall alien standing on a platform.
He's a tall, green humanoid robot in purple armor.
"Who are you?" Martian Manhunter asked as the alien looked down at them.
"I go by many titles, but to most, I am the Collector. I know why you are here. Considering I do your doomed planet the honor of preserving one of its great cities." The heroes looked confused at that before Flash dashed to him. Only to be backhanded away as the Collector spoke. "You are fast. But my twelfth-level intellect brain is quicker."
Martian Manhunter tried using his powers on him but had no effect as the Collector moved his hands and had the Atom grow. The Collector dropped them and missed a door open and close. On the other side of the ship, Nightwing and the others with Sphere walked around as Wonder Girl and Zatanna talk with Blue Beetle about the Team if he chose to join. They walked into a large room with small cities inside domes. "Holy... I know what's happening to Metropolis!" Nightwing said looking at one city.
They walked into another room to look for the beam that was shrinking the city before Zatanna's Glamour faded. "I'll recast the-!" Zatanna stopped as the Collector appeared and started to shock them.
"This scarab can neutralize the Collectors attack, Jaime Reyes." Blue Beetle suddenly heard a voice in his head before the armor around his left hand turned into a laser gun.
He and Sphere attacked with a sonic wave attack, stopping the Collector.
Kylstar Vessel December 1 23:17 UTC.
The Bio-Ship hovered upside down on a crystal ship before Naruto created a clone to pilot the ship. He and Miss Martian phased inside and started to look for the missing people. They walked through a door and saw the League and Teammates down with crystal orbs around them with a very large crystal Alien standing above them. Miss Martian destroyed the orbs, freeing the Heroes and Kylstar stopped his fighting.
He explained that he was capturing aliens from across the Universe to help save his planet from the Dictators that rule it. The orb beside him translated for them as well as the aliens he took. He offered to put anyone that did not wish to help him back on their home planet. Naruto noticed several villains take the offer before being beamed in front of the Collector. Along with the twins, Mammoth, Shimmer, and Grodd.
The Bio-Ship appeared at a window just as Nightwing spoke up. "It's a robot!"
The ship shot the Collector only to have dozens more take his place. Naruto grabbed his bow before the ship shook. "Something disrupts my probe. If the field shuts down while my beam is running; it will destroy your World!"
"Then turn the field off!"
The duplicates disappeared before one came back. "I have disengaged the beam." A screen came up and showed the field disappeared.
After talking with the Collector and finding Superman is a full-blooded Kryptonian, the Collector brought them back to Metropolis and regrew Metropolis before leaving.
Gotham; Elliot Memorial Hospital December 2 15:23 EST.
Kage walked into a room where a comatose man laid with a crying woman and girl. "Kage! Did you find the monster that did this?!"
Naruto heard a gasp before touching the man and saw life return in his eyes. "No, not yet, Dawn." He said before walking out. Miss Martian looked on in shock before Naruto spoke. "That's the reason why I'm mad, M'gann. We walk a fine line of becoming a villain. Plus, the populace still fears us. It was only 10-15 years ago when Superman showed up. And then more people with powers started to pop up, and along with them came those that became bad guys. Don't become the villain, M'gann." (2.)
Naruto left a crying M'gann to think. He stopped at the door and glanced back before walking out the door.
Gotham; Naruto's Penthouse December 2 15:30 EST.
Naruto walked into the halls before sighing as he saw Talia's guard standing outside their rooms in their underwear. "Get dressed if you're coming out of your apartment!" He yelled before walking inside his apartment.
"Yes, Master!"
Naruto sighed before hearing crying. He looked to see a tired-looking Jade holding a crying baby girl who looked to be a few months old. She has blonde hair and gray eyes with two whisker marks on her cheeks.
"Hey, Lian. Daddy's home." Naruto picked up his daughter who immediately stopped crying.
"I have no idea how you're able to do that. Damian was the same way." Jade said as Naruto rocked Lian before holding her up in the air.
He threw her up and caught her several times, having her giggle in happiness. "She just missed her daddy," Naruto said before holding Lian in one arm and kissed Jade. "You go get some sleep." She smiled before walking into her bedroom as Naruto sat down on the couch. "
Welcome home."
Naruto looked to see Dinah in black pajama pants and a blue shirt holding a sleeping baby boy with spiky blonde hair and two whisker marks on his cheeks.
She smiled at him before sitting beside him. "Quentin being a handful, too?" Naruto asked as he held her hand, and saw her tribal ring tattoo.
"No, he was a quiet little angel."
"He must not take after you or he would be screaming-!" He stopped as she suddenly gripped his crotch and squeezed. "OK, OK!" Naruto said before she let go and leaned against him. "I still can't believe you and Jade got pregnant at the same time," Naruto said before kissing Dinah on the top of her head.
"I was almost a year ahead of her," Dinah said looking at her sleeping son and smiled at him.
Infinity Island December 3, 02:45 ECT.
Ra's looked at his other daughter who has short brown hair and green eyes wearing white armor.
"Father, what are you going to do about Talia?" She asked as Ra's sighed.
"Nyssa, she's now a liability she'll have to be... dealt with. After which, we'll take her son and raise him to be my successor."
Nyssa's eyes widened at that before walking to her father and slapped him hard in the face. "How can you even think about killing your daughter and taking her child?!"
He only stared at her. "If it's for the sake of the Earth's future, sacrifices must be made." She can only look at him incredulously as he walks away
Her look shifts to a contemptuous glare before walking off into the shadows.
Washington D.C. December 3, 10:00 EST.
In her hanger, Fury was watching the news, then suddenly pulled out a blade as she spun around, bringing the blade inches from Nyssa's throat. "Why the hell are you here?"
Nyssa stared at her before speaking. "I want to break the Light."
Fury's only response to that is a loud laugh. Once she's finished, she looks back at Nyssa, seeing the resolve in her eyes. "Oh, you're serious. What I got planned for your father isn't going to be pretty and will likely ruin him. You all right with that?"
Nyssa crossed her arms before speaking in a cold voice. "He ruined himself a long time ago."
Fury then offers her hand a tells her, "Well, then, let's get started. Partner." Nyssa then takes her hand and shakes it.
"Are your parents OK with this? I know they're big on the 'don't kill' thing."
Fury sighed before speaking. "They don't know I plan to kill the Light. I only recently made peace with them... And my sister. I'm still trying to talk Donna into sharing Conner since they won't break up." Nyssa raised an eyebrow at that.
"And Naruto is OK with that?"
"No, but if dad says anything it would make him look like a hypocrite. What with having multiple women, two of whom are sisters." Fury said with a smirk as they walked to a table.
To Be Continued.
