- It's in the package, isn't it? Bruce asked.
- I was killed and went to meet the host of the bet. - Bruce said. - Of course I do.
- Am I going to bet again with you? Asked Nekron .
- I intend to. - Bruce said.
- Better. - Said Trigon. - You took a step to meet with the host of the bet. - Said Trigon.
After hours of organization, and help from treacherous demons, Bruce took out his cell phone, called in some negotiators, and set up a meeting with shareholders, investors, all within sixteen hours, he bought his company back, and promised to fire Lucius.
He took a notebook and wrote some messages, he asked Phantom Stranger to deliver it to each of them, he took his backpack, he went on a trip, being taken by each of his betting colleagues, promising to come back after a year.
He had plans, and so he was going to do it after they got back.
- Where do you want to go first? - Asked Neron.
- For a journey to the 1000th century, and back later during the time, when I will discover the secrets of the universe. - Bruce said.
- Then go backwards. - Bruce said.
Bruce discovered some closely guarded secrets.
Love pain desperate and lost lands
It was thousands of years
Before the wars between planets ... And before the birth of Krypton ...
Ages ago
An ancient planet long destroyed by wars and the devastation of nature for some, who adored their planet.
Knowing that in their destroyed and bitter ancestors of an immense devastated plain of destruction and a war field of gods of ancient Ragnarok,
Among these war camps is a red silhouette of a slender and powerful cosmic entity, long denied by barbarians on a planet that has fallen in monstrous wars.
Whose name on this planet was, Astron was lost because of successive wars to progressive devastation, there was no time to save many peoples, it was in its majority the majority.
As for the few that were left, they were from an ancient religion, they venerated the primate goddess, gradually regressing, they prayed every day to ancient millennial gods.
These were forgotten times and long wars of eternal proportions.
While wars took place in distant moments, in an immense and ancient constellation, old worlds when they still existed.
Those who governed solar systems existed in their dark and malodorous civilization destroyed in the midst of chaos.
In Krypton's past ages when they were just babies crawling through their birth in their pre-industrial civilization.
There were ages ago before the fall of the ancient gods, there was a civilization, but it was much older, it venerated ancient and just gods who received rewards when they were venerated.
The ancient scientists of this world were nothing more than priests lost in the midst of desolation and thus swearing in the midst of ancient prayers invoking ancient names rivaling their beliefs.
Even if in the course of what happened, in which then before their own destruction and cataclysm, minutes before the real collapse in the middle of the light that appeared in the middle of a flood of lava that was rising, and when they were isolated in the subsoil.
While the remnants of skeletal life spread over the surface a barren white dwarf land, and putrefied remnants of existing life, of your planet praying and the despair among the most adults.
What happened, in the last moments of life at that very moment, the grief of those who abdicated their beliefs and the end of a life, and their gods they in this moment of the time of destruction.
Happening to what they were in moments of time when everything changed in the impending catastrophe than moments and remnants of civilization destroyed seconds before their imminent deaths and lava covered their bodies from the implosion of the solar system and what was left of it ...
While all of that changed, deaths lurked and the final seconds before destruction destroyed layers and rising flames and those remnants of rocks, parts of asteroid rocks and constellations.
It was in their investigations that it was in those following seconds in the midst of destruction when everyone lost their hopes the cosmos dying out of rocks and comets and asteroids approaching the destroyed orbit a whirlwind and destruction enveloped in flames of lava and lights.
All this was what when what was left of frozen seas breaking and rising evaporating with the lava that rose the lava the center of the earth moments before bodies evaporating and self-destructing together with the center of gravity that the stars were fading and with lights and in that solar system.
The one that was becoming something different, when the white dwarf that was once a sun and now the black hole that sucked the nearest stars and sucking like a star never existed and rising poisonous clouds of gas.
When they were in these cosmic substances and at that time when the children were enveloped in flames and their planet destroyed, all embraced.
In imminent seconds of their deaths and the flames eroding everything around them spreading along with the destruction when ..., when seconds before, when everything was about to end ...
There were tears on the faces of children shrouded in lava flames and destruction when in an instant of time with their imminent death everything stopped a loud and deafening broken glass noise was heard ...
All those who turned around even embraced tears of pain among them and saw a rounded barrier wrapped around their companions around them ...
Above their heads like flames long red hair an incandescent light and long legs strong and whose thighs were thick.
Her naked silhouette with only a fabric in ribbons just a veil covering her arms and her slim body long arms and rounded breasts her equally red eyes
With her eyes and lifting her hands, she pointed ahead and wrapped in energy capsules were teleported and thus saw around her.
When they saw the legendary and immense ship called the ship of the beginning, it was if not the first ship created with the power of the first goddess among the brother's king's gods outside the system.
Thank you, you heard one of the children say while being carried by sentient beings of energy and electricity and the red queen was omniscient.
Its powers were cosmic and its energy was the union between the alpha and omega power and its structure between corporeal and non-physical physical form totally spiritual and energy...
More than 1 million years ago before Krypton's birth, the legendary mothership called the early spaceship had the great warlike power of immense proportions that was 10 times the size of the earth's sun.
Discovering that this was the ship born of the stars and the cosmos that generated its own energy and had its own nucleus, it was the home of the gods capable of creating its own dimension and taking it to other worlds.
The ship was inhabited by beings of incredible intelligence coming from the cosmos and without a physical body and being able to connect to any form of life and the collective consciousness of the ship, energy.
As for the higher forms and made of immaterial and psychic energy, exclusively mental powers.
It was they who were sent from them and sexless angels procreating by parthenogenesis, and flames their bodies could crystallize and harden.
They did not own shape or physical bodies, but created the cybernetic technology through psychic and supernatural power, and it all those that operated the ship were children of the queen and their descendants traveled the cosmos.
Their forms looked humanoid and bluish whitish in color and their hair could alternate between blue at present and red in combat, their eyes were red when their hair was blue and orange.
All of this, when they were red, and had crystals at the ends of their bodies, which connected with their skin and could communicate with other beings, but were not entirely immortal.
In their transformation, when their physical bodies had a time limit they were not degradable and so they could connect and restructure themselves as if by connecting and recreating their body through bodies of hosts the ancient bodies did not deteriorate.
Immediately, when they crystallized and returned to a form of royal blue crystals, their essences by themselves chose a new host, being able to share with another sentient and conscious being and another to alter a technological hybrid form, causing and inducing an evolution.
Even with that, it was causing a fusion of consciousnesses and the more using the host body the more the old one losing consciousness and being absorbed by them and thus becoming a complete being.
All this, while, when he thinks his time is over, he abandoned that body that in turn crystallized and occupied a technological form.
That was a kind of mineral crystal with electrical properties that could be used as technology and was part of the ship as a mechanical part.
It was a precursor technology to that of Krypton prior to its destruction, they were alive and their technology was aware that once they were living beings, the technological part turned off and disconnected from the mental.
Those who could separate weapons and non-weapons were the same things and were aware that they were once flesh beings.
First, they were born of flesh then little by little they would lose their physical form little by little they evolved, joined the technology and lost their physical form and thus divided forming two forms of life and sometimes they lost and used other hosts...
Among them were the most intelligent chief scientist and daughter of Zariel - The red queen, whose name was, well the studies did not say much, but as soon as he obtained more data, he would know ...
For millennia the ship of the beginning had the purpose of taking technology and knowledge wisdom and saving those who needed to be saved it had in its structure black and white crystals and long and pointed and long wings.
All of this, in which his coming could be heralded as the omen of the beginning of so much destruction, but still his interior bigger than the outside was a world inside a ship, formed by crystals of energy.
As for this energy, it comes from the gas stars of the entropy universe, only energy that flows from within it, and for generations it has been its commander.
The one that was called the crimson queen from another world, a goddess who used the form of red energy queen of the energy fields of the red rivers.
One of the daughters born of the energy by parthenogenesis this creature was called Za-ol .
To what was among the apparent female of blue hair and short even though at this time more than twenty thousand years old it had the form of a child with long hair as if spiked and scientist's clothes.
When it was at that moment that it started that it took these children to a distant planet together with a scientist and an ancient race that hitchhiked from another solar system.
And he also saw that was destroyed and these were the VOSH this with your own scientist named, Bertron , same the at that moment was his assistant and girl are in charge of teaching the art of science.
They didn't know any more when they left so much Zaol and the children and the scientists on this little planet and would come back later they would be doomed ...
Current days
Present ground zero moment.
Somewhere else...
It was very interesting to know about the future, as much as it was interesting to know about the past, travel with cosmic beings is learned more when you have great teachers.
Now, he had been back for a while, by the time of the trip he had not gotten past Gotham's gift, at least more than six months, but in reality, Bruce traveled for ages through the multiverse.
During the travels, Bruce learned about the plans that came to fruition, so the man planned, took countermeasures, and that included even Darkseid and each of the villains and heroes.
About that.
It was one of Gotham City's suspicious villain bars, in which some villains got together to plot, among them, the common plans of each one of them, to end Batman.
That was possibly the annual plot meeting against Batman, do you know why?
Because they had nothing better to do, after all, Batman seemed the only one they could challenge with intelligence.
Otherwise, the other heroes were just wall breakers, and ways of punching others in the face.
To what should be commonplace, the plots of each of them, against Batman.
There were catalogs, charts and spreadsheets on the walls of who it was the time, at that time, it was indicating ...
Joker ...
- So, what's your plan today, Joker ? - Riddled questioned.
They were gathered playing cards around a table with countless villains around, tables filled with villains, some drunk and others smoking.
Among those tables that were drinking , while others were playing pool, and in their case, playing cards, smoking and drinking.
- I had a plan. - Said the clown around the table. - But it failed. - Said.
Hands on either side of Joker's shoulders, bending down and looking at him, with a smile full of pointed teeth, hands with thick fingers, and pointed nails.
Everyone gasped as they saw the man appear.
- I propose a deal between us, gentlemen. - Said a man with the face of a red lion, he was tall, goatee sideburns and eyes as red as blood.
He had leonine hair like fiery red lion's manes on top of his head, which were loose and bulky, with undulations and looked like a huge blanket of red hair.
- I have a plan, would you like to know ...? - He asked.
All but Joker have moved away, perhaps fear or apprehension.
Seeing that he had vertical pupils, and a third eye on his forehead, if they suspected he was not human, they were sure, everyone watched.
The one who was a man in a red suit, and goat horns, twisted on either side, a satin suit, shiny shoes.
It was obvious that in no time a normal, normal man, who knows, would do any business with someone like him, that only a madman would accept to propose a business with.
- Say what you propose. - Said Joker .
This was the madman who accepted the deal. - Say I want to hear. - The clown spoke.
- I propose to attract and corner to use Bruce Wayne as a bait, and to surround them, it can be in the Wayne tower, and to insert my serum. - He said. "That would attract every member of the Justice League, and it would neutralize every one of them, with the serum. - He said.
- What does this serum do? - Questioned the clown with all confidence in the man more than suspicious.
- He would make them go crazy, have hallucinations, and you could do whatever you want with him, the man would be immobile, docile and would be a little lamb. - He said.
- I attack the Wayne tower, you surround Bruce Wayne, the man accuses you, you use him and his shareholders, and each of them would be used as bait, in addition to getting rid of Bruce Wayne for a few hours.
Then, you can beat and neutralize the justice league that would be surrounded and drugged, you would be neutralized by a good two weeks of hallucinations.
Good idea. - Said Joker , that without realizing it, everyone there was moving away in fear, the man had a demonic syrup from a demon, and that syringe had a shiny silver material, and it looked like something that shouldn't be a simple hallucinogen.
- Do you want to participate...? - Questioned the clown.
- No. - They said each one, they moved away as if the devil runs away from the cross.
In those two days in a row, Joker gathered a large number of henchmen and gun, sent a warning letter towards the Gotham police station threatening to attack Batman.
They did not listen, because after all, he always did that, as was usual and customary, the bat always got away, solved the problem, and none of them had their plan in place.
Acid paint, paralyzing daisies and bursts of hallucinogenic confetti, these were his new weapons, bombs of light that were machine guns with piercing pins, in addition to the normal bullets, Joker , prepared a party.
It was rare that kind of thing, nobody paid much attention, after all, nor did they care about the other warning that would attack Bruce Wayne, they thought that somehow, Bruce Wayne was well protected .
If you want something wrong, repeat the same thing, because you know that nobody would pay attention.
Anyway, Bruce received a letter, ignoring with all his might, he was leaving his cooking class, and heading towards Wayne Tower.
He had a meeting, he himself did nothing at first, when at last he took it upon himself to ignore what would happen.
Anyway...
That same week, Wayne Tower was attacked by Joker , the clown prince of crime stormed Wayne Tower in the middle of a meeting, climbing each floor which in turn used the gas to kill anyone who got in his way .
They were not alone, there over a thousand employees were taken hostage, they went in with everything destroying everything around them, their hooded henchmen dressed in black with black protections and shirts.
They were bulletproof clothes, wearing vests and masks and makeup with clothes lined with protection while toggle, machine guns, which they used to invade Wayne Tower, shooting everyone who tried to stop him.
At the end of that hour, when the henchmen in colorful clown clothes, who killed around 10 security guards, before invading the 15 floors of that building, and proceed to the presidential meeting, with Joker taking everyone hostage.
Joker burst in with his manic beast smile, he looked full of confetti with an entrance throwing bombs of acid paint, his new batch of jokes, not funny.
Before they managed to climb up to the top floor, where the meeting was taking place, the sound of machine guns firing was enough, in Bruce's opinion, to call, not only security, but the police, and break the justice system. .
The henchmen arrived first, on each of the floors, many died throwing acid paint, stunning light bombs and Bruce made his cue to run in the direction that other shareholders ran, Bruce ran through the corridors, being chased and going in the direction the staircase, by the fire exit.
The man was chased, and while he was using his communicator, at that hour, he made a more than urgent call towards Superman.
- If any time, it was now. - Bruce said. - That was the right time. - Bruce said.
- If that was the cue for you, come, there is no better time, this is the time, that I need you most. - Bruce said.
- Kal. Bruce shouted. - At that hour, anyone would serve, as long as he arrived.
Apparently, the other heroes did not arrive on time.
At that time, between descending flights of stairs, and being chased by henchmen clowns, he was cornered and chased, falling with a shot and a stunning daisy in his back, and being caught and then taken, towards the elevator and being thrown in direction to
- Hello, ladies and gentleman. - Said the clown. - I came to bring the grace of my presence and beautiful company. - Said. - Now, let's see how long the justice league gets here.
There were just over 15 survivors who were led towards a corner of the 15th floor, then tied up and made of bait, it seemed.
- You don't have to die, unless I change my mind. - Said the manic clown.
- You don't have to have them here. - Bruce said putting himself forward, stunned, when he put himself as the voluntary bait.
- Oh, Mr. Wayne, I have a special gift selected for you, I will give you, a new drug that will make you more susceptible to my dreams, we will be equal in kind, I will have a little brother. - He said.
What he said, in reality separates himself from reality, totally, as to what happened next, Bruce knew that nothing good would come out of suspicious drugs, that was a big long and thick syringe.
To the one who had a pearlescent and shiny liquid, it was too strange to think, that something good would come out of there, none of that would come out less than suspicious of the substances created by Joker , and being the crazy brother of a clown was out of the question.
When do you need the league, when do you not have it at the right time?
Bruce tried to resist, he fought the best he could with those henchmen, that he was disarmed and subdued by ten men, such was his fight.
As promised to what he realized that it was all a lie, everyone there was deceived by promises, and happiness did not come as they said it would, pressed when Joker came in front of him and stuck her to his horror, in his chest directly into your heart.
What should happen, was totally what happened, he was ..., the clown and the campaigns released him, hugged by Joker , Bruce was stunned, seconds and in the middle of two minutes of stun, which followed if it was too late , too much or not, happened one after the other.
