Batman flitted between rooftops, jumping and landing in a crouch with his cape billowing out, then falling back around him. He raised slowly infront of the other figure. In the shadows, Michael Dennison stood, wrapped in an overcoat and wearing a widebrimmed hat that made him look like he's stepped out of an ild detective movie. Batman stood wordlessly. Mike looked up, tipping back his hat. "I didn't expect you to come." "I wasn't going to until I looked into what you said. Make this fast." "You're not in the best mood are you?" "You haven't seen bad mood." "Yeeah... Let's just cut to the chase then." Mike took off the hat and stepped into the alley, pointing sideways to a machine. "It's powered by my mental telepathy. I constructed it out o..." "Cut the crap and tell me what it does." "Yeah..." Mike decided not to answer sarcasticly, but instead knelt on the ground, letting his coat slip off to reveal his blue costume underneath, placing his hands on his temples. A green aura surrounded him and started to flow to the machine as if he was shooting it from a watergun hidden behind his eyes. "This should only take a minute." As he spoke the machine began to glow, then green swirls pulled out from the top, rippling up into a portal. "It opens into over 50,000 dimmensions. I don't know what would happen, but thought you should know." "Why me?" "JLA doesn't trust me." "I don't trust anyone." "That's what I'm counting on." "What do you mean?" "This portal can be opened in a lot of ways, just flow enough energy through it and... Well in the wrong hands..." "Why did you make it?" "Long story." "I have a minute." "I needed to access the phantom zone." "The phantom... Do you have any idea what could happen if traces escape into the world?" "No. But I'm betting you do." The entire gallaxy could implode...Every dimmension could combine at once... We have to get rid of this thing." "But..." "No buts. Are you insane?" "I'm getting there." Batman raised an eyebrow. "I screwed up didn't I?" "Kid, you screwed up big."

(Has it started yet? If not I can modify it or whatever.)
Harm meditating in his room in Titans Tower. He was thinking about the h-dial on his sword and how he recieved it in the first place. It allowed him to turn into one of his demon sponsors previously. It made him incredibly powerful, but since it wouldn't technically be him it wouldn't be safe to use it again.
Suddenly as reality warped around Harm, his hair turned blonde, a red jagged patch appeard on Harm's right eye and his costume was altered. All of a sudden his previous concerns were gone as he remembered a different life on top of his and was no longer Harm, he was Rage. While he didn't know how, Harm had bonded with Threshold, who was from another dimension.

(Meh. I can work with it. ) NM (New Mentality, Mike Denison's hero alias...So far) fidgeted in his seat in the batmobile, the machine in his lap. "So...Taking me to the batcave on our first date? Even Catwoman doesn't get this kind of treatment I he..." "Shut up." Batman snarled, not appreciating NM's sarcasm. "Sorry...Just nervous..." "I know." "You ever say anything over two syllables at a time?" "No." " Do you think it's already started?" "What?" "The transformation...Amalgam...Do you think that people are already...morphing..." "Metas that can pass through dimensions will probably start first." Batman spoke, thinking. Falcon and Harm had both, in a sense, come through other dimensions as well as many others in YJ... That would mean the Young Justice would probably be starting first... "So... What?" "We need to make a detour." " Detour?" "We have to see if this has started and find a safe spot for that machine." "Safe spot?" NM raised an eyebrow. "So the transformation doesn't continue." "What about us?" "What?" "Being so near the machine...Is it like the eye of a hurricane or something?" "I'm not sure, you're the one who made it." "Hey! Pointing blame now?" "It's your fault." "Yeah, but... Ok. Yeah, it is. But do you think people are already transforming?" "You asked that." "You didn't answer." "It's not my job." "I thought this was a 'fate of the universe' crisis." "It will be." "THEN TELL ME!" "If you yell at me, I'm locking you in the Phantom Zone along with whatever caused this mess." "Yeah right." " Don't tempt me." They were silent for a moment as Batman sped towards the tower. "But do you?" NM asked again. "What!?!" "Think that the transformation's started?" "That's what we're checking." "If it has?" "We deal." "Back to two syllables?" "Yeah." "Whoopie." Batman hit NM in a pressure point on his neck with two fingers, knocking him unconcious. "Quiet."

Rage, curious about how this bonding happened searched around Titans Tower looking for anyone who also might have been transformed.

The batmobile jolted to a hault infront of the tower and slid open as Batman leapt out and circled the front, NM cartwheeling over the side. The two ran, almost evenly paced, but with NM showing more fatigue, towards the tower. "Alright," NM said as they ran. "So you expect the morphing to start with these kids?" "There's already portals here as well as several people from other dimensions, that's like opening a wormhole if my theory's correct. If they've already started transforming we'll need to figure out what's going on and stop the portals. The morphing could be dangerous to them or us." "That's always nice... So wha..." NM trailed to a stop as Batman threw open a door and bolted into the tower, his eye catching on Rage a few yards away. "What the..." NM stopped behind him and looked. "I don't remember seeing him in any text books."

Rage slowly turns to NM, and seems to squint a little in his visible eye. "Hm, so this is all your fault." He says as he glares at NM and Batman.

"People keep pointing blame...And hey, how'd he know..." "Shutup." "But..." "Don't make me knock you out again." NM fell silent. "Harm... What happened"

"It's Rage, and basically I was in my room...then I'm going to assume this guy's machine kicked in, bonding me with this guy named Threshold. And I know it's your fault cause Threshold has limited telepathy." Rage said as he glared at NM. "I'm checking the tower to see if anyone else if affected."

"Why don't your just use your 'telepathy' Mr. Noitall?" NM said, turning his face away with his nose in the air. "Ignore him. I don't know if anyone else has been changed yet either, have you found anything yet...er...Rage?"

"Just got out of my room, haven't seen anything yet." Harm then turns to NM. "Considering that Harm has no conscience and Threshold's a bad guy, I'd tread carefully if I were you."

IN GOTHAM
Falcon was swining from her d-cell line towards the Clocktower. Cripes. She could NOT afford to miss curfew again. She landed ontop of the old Gotham cathedral before pulling out another d-cell line and.... Suddenly, her 'reality' began to shift. Her hair became shorter. About chin length, her brown eyes became blue and the symbol of her costume changed as well. Into a large, red spider in the place where the Falcon insigna had been(EXACTLY like the SG spider, except its red.), the sleeves of her top came at a sharp cut around the soulders, and her boots became black with a trace of red one the claves. Plus, her costume no longer showed her stomach. It was just black ad red and her mask covered half of her face except her mouth and hair, with loarge starlight lense similar to the kind the 'spiderfamily' would wear.
ArachnaBird shot out a stard of web and jumped off the building, continuing her way home. The LAST thing she needed was to be late. She didn't want the burden of having her webs, once again, taken away from her.

NM stared at Rage, not sure wether or not he was kidding. He decided he wasn't and backed down slightly. Batman stared forwards. He hadn't even twitched, but his head was beginning to buzz slightly. He took a step forward, then quavered and fell to his knees, his cape wrapping around him and his head bent as he tried to fight off the feeling that his whole essence was being slowly altered. (A/N: Batman, as we all know, has the mentality and will power to fight off just about anything you throw at him, so he's having a struggle with his mind and body being altered.) He could feel everything changing, first his mind, then his body and costume. If they could have seen through the cape, which was now leveling at the bottom where it noramlly cut into jagged batwings, they would have seen what seemed to be black ink zipping up and around the entire costume. The batsignal on his chest remained, but his costume was now totaly black with a flap on the side of his torso, buttoned down with tiny batsignal buttons. His belt had turned hard and metal (similar to what it is in the movies and animated seres) and holsters had grown out of either side. Guns had already slipped up into the holsters and his mask had grown over his face, folding down in red around his eyes. The lining of his cape had also become red and his eyes, now uncovered, were glowing slightly. He stood again, letting the cape billow back to reveal his new costume. The ShadowBat had been born.

(who did Batman bond with? Is that Spawn? Deadpool maybe?) Rage smirks as he looks at Shadowbat. "Looks like the change caught up with someone." Rage then uses his com/link. "Titans come in!" He knew there were some Titans that weren't in the tower who might be transforming.

(Try "The Shadow" hence "SHADOWbat" ;-) He had a few miniseries in Darkhorse. I say that qualifies him. Anyway, I've always liked the Shadow. "Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? THE BATMAN KNOWS! Muahahahahahahaha."...I'm ok.) Shadow's eyes narrowed as he starred at Rage. "Don't make me hurt you." He took a step forward. "I bonded with a man called Lamont Cranston, apparently he's a vigilante known as the Shadow in his universe. It adds telepathy and invisibility as well as a few other gimicks and weapons..." He turned. "Unfortunately our mindset has combined also... What I'm worried about is what's going to happen when villains start morphing."

Rage smiles. "Under normal circumstances I'd say bring it on, but you're right. We should try and find the other heroes as fast as possible. We were lucky that Threshold bonded with a hero...somewhat, our luck might not stay that way." Rage says as he makes another call on the com/link.
