Rage sighed, as much as he hated to admit it, he needed Batman in his right mind as he was for them to get the most help. He pierced into ShadowBat's subconscious. "You are Batman, and you are The Shadow, you have to embrace both of these people and stop fighting it, I'll try my best to keep you from merging completely, but that will take a lot of my power." With that Rage made the two personalities overlap, and not merge, like his was, although he wasn't sure he could keep that up.

Bruce Wayne and Lamont Cranston yelled. Not quite a scream, not a yelp of pain... A yell. They looked at each other inside the realm of darkness they were in and waited. "Alright." Shadowbat said, now under stress from the effort they were putting forth to say seperate, but still knowing what wasgoing on. "I owe you one, but don't count on me remembering that when I'm Batman again." He said, close to a joke...For Batman or Shadow anyway. "So we know what's going on, but it's taking a good deal of both our energy just to keep me apart and we have to keep EVERYONE in this galaxy and about a hundred billion others apart... How?" (GTG guys, dentist, may be back later. Go ahead and post a little , but please wait for me.)

"Shadowbat?" Matt said hearing a yell of pain and then silence. "'Mont? Are you there? Answer me!"

Rage spoke into the communicator. "He's alright, this is Rage, despite what ShadowBat says we might need your help. Not to mention this will be much easier to explain in person. We're at the Tower."

(Um... that was supposed to be a secured link. It could only be heard between Shadowbat and Nightdevil. No one else should have been able to over-hear their conversation or join in.)
Nightdevil eyes narrowed. He'd really need to update his systems again, if someone else had been able to access his secured com-link with Shadowbat.
"Look, I don't know who you are nor do I really care. I want to know what is going on. I want answers. And I want them now."

(Um...uh....he...uh...did it....um....telepathically....right ) Rage gets an annoyed tone in his voice. "You're not really who you think you are, you're two people merged, because some 'bright guy' wanted to get into another dimension and didn't know what he was doing. There, better?"

"Ummm....I hate to say this but..." ArachnaBird said as she dropped down from where she had secured herself to the ceiling and landed in the middle of the group. "It might only make things worse.... " But now.....her spidersense was going off even more. Unlike normally, it wasn't directed at any one spot of danger. It was as if something was wrong with the entire world.(Btw, I decided her mask should cover her entire face instead.....don't ask why, I just did.)

"Hey!" New Mentality took a step forward. At the same momen Shadowbat's fist came up, hitting NM in the face with minimum force and knocking him back. "Hush."

(If this wasn't a comic related story, I'd say that was a lame excuse... ) Nightdevil raised an eyebrow. If he hadn't seen so much during his life, he'd say this Rage guy had seen the Matrix too many times. But that would explain why he was having odd memories flash inside his mind every so often. "Two hours." That was all he said before Matt cut the com-link. He quickly re-donned his Nightdevil costume. He'd have to 'borrow' some transportation to get from the east coast to the west... Still it was amazing what the government left lying on the lawns of their military instilations...

A black haired girl stumbled down the stairs, landing on her knees at the bottom. As she raised her head they could see that the front of the messed up hair, pulled into bunches, above the clear blue eyes, were pure white blonde streaks. "W'ere . . . w'ere am ayh?" She asked in a faltering southern drawl. Flashes came to her, hundreds, all the people who's lives she'd 'touched'. "I'm all wrong!" A california-ish accent, she looked at her twenty-something body, the red pants, the green lycra long sleeve. "I'm gonna need a bigger bra" "She's in my head!!!!!" The girl clutched at her head for a second then looked up at them. As she stood she smiled "Hey shugah's. Ayh guess mah girl is havin' some prow'blems with mah ..... ability’s. Too close for comfort ya'll could say. Ayh should introduce mah self, we're Marie Sandsmark. Ya'll can call us...." She flashed a sultry smile "The Renegade Girls: Wonder." *okok, i know it sucks. I only read the Amalgamation thing once and the name's from watching things like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dirty Pair (not as bad as it sounds) and Martion Sucessor Nadesco and i'm gonna be really really bad at this. If anything’s wrong . . . I don't care. Its an interpretation *

"What is it... Arachnabird right?" Batman/Shadow asked as Arachnabird dropped. "Explain, then talk to Rage, he needs to tell you something."

half and hour later, Nightdevil had gotten ahold of a state of the art aircraft. Due to his blindness, Matt couldn't actually fly the airplane, but instead set it on auto-pilot.
He sighed. Whatever was happening had to have been big to get Matt and Lamont to work together again. But then again... was he even Matthew Grayson? If this rage guy was telling the truth...

Rage looks at the RG. "Looks like it caught up with her too." Rage then looks at Arachnabird too. "OK, this is how it is, so far almost all of us are affected by a machine that was made to go into different dimensions, it's caused an affect that's making people merge with people from other dimensions, that's probably why some of you feel slightly disoriented."

"We've figured that much out... Or... Do any of them even know who they are yet? You need to help them. I think Cranston and I...Or... Wayne and I... Can deal with the differences and stay apart, but you need to help them figure out what's going on like you did me." He turned. "Dennison, do you have any idea on how to fix this? You made tha machine, you have to know something." "Well... We could always go through the portal ourselves, but... That could mean we get trapped in THEIR dimensions or amalgamized again or just transported or who knows... Could lead to an eventual...or immidiate... solution, but..." "The odds are against us." "Yup." "That wasn't a question." He turned back. "Rage, you help the others, then we need to make a descision. Do Falcon first, we need to see if Lane...er... Oracle is spliced yet."
