(Deathstroke places a couple of proximity explosive charges. Two on the floor, one on the ceiling)

Alt. Shazam: I don't know. If he said it was ok, then it was good enough for me

Alt. Flash: Yeah. I asked myself, "what if what happened to Lois happened to Iris?"

Alt. Shazam: It made sense at first. Bad people got what they deserved. But now?

Alt. Flash: Superman's not actually gonna kill Batman. He's just bait to catch the real Batman

Alt. Shazam: And then what? Remember what he did to Green Arrow?

Alt. Flash: Something's not right. The teleporter's offline

Deathstroke: Somewhere you need to go?

Alt. Flash: How did-?

(Alternate Flash runs at Deathstroke, but a mine blows up beneath his feet, making him fall through the floor)

(Alternate Shazam flies at Deathstroke, but the mine on the ceiling knocks him through the hole in the floor)

(Deathstroke chuckles and drops through the hole in the floor)

Deathstroke: You're gonna lose, hero

(Deathstroke fights Shazam and wins by hitting him with a flash-bang and a twisting kick)

Deathstroke: Still just a kid

(Deathstroke walks over to the reactor and hacks into it)

Deathstroke: It's payback time

(The reactor goes critical. But then Alternate Flash runs over to Deathstroke)

Alt. Flash: Stop what you're doing!

Deathstroke: It's not what I'm doing

(Deathstroke punches Alternate Flash and kicks him)

Deathstroke: It's what I've done

(Deathstroke fights Alternate Flash and wins by hitting him with a jumping knee)

Deathstroke: Finale's coming. And you've got a front row seat

(Deathstroke walks back to Cyborg)

Deathstroke: We gotta get moving

Cyborg: What did you do, Slade? The reactor's gone critical

Deathstroke: First rule of warfare. Take out command and control. This satellite's the key to Superman's regime

Cyborg: Dammit, you've jeopardized the entire mission!

Deathstroke: Superman's my priority. Not your Batman

Cyborg: Batman, this is Cyborg. We have the watchtower, but we've got a problem. The reactor's gonna blow

Alt. Batman: Can you stop it?

Cyborg: It's a runaway. You have 90 minutes

Alt. Batman: We're almost in position. Batman out

Cyborg: I'll have to teleport everyone off

Lex Luthor: Nice work, gentlemen

Cyborg: Got my hands full, Luthor. What do you want?

Lex Luthor: I need Deathstroke

Cyborg: For what?

Lex Luthor: I've learned that Ferris industries has a prototype technology that may allow me to re-weaponize Batman's kryptonite. I need you to bring it to me

Cyborg: Does Batman know about this?

Lex Luthor: No. He would have insisted on using the weapon himself. I need to do it. Batman is the face of the insurgency. If he dies, it dies with him

Cyborg: Lex Luthor risking his life to save Batman... I wanna believe it

Deathstroke: Send me the coordinates

(Meanwhile)

(Alternate Batman and Green Arrow are walking down a hall with Echo, Scorpion, Zatanna, and Sub Zero)

Alt. Batman: Harleen. Get your people into position. Occupy any law enforcement you can

Harley: Yessir bats! I'm on it

Joker: Yessir bats! Can I pick up your dry cleaning too? Wax the bat mobile?

(Harley Quinn lets Joker out of his cell)

Joker: Ahhh. Freedom!

Harley: He's gonna kill me

Joker: I'd worry less about him. Sweetums. Lets go

(Dimension one)

Flash: I can probably fix it, but I don't know how long it would take. Parts of the control panel were designed to work with Cyborg's neural implants

Superman: We have to keep trying, Barry. This may be their only way home

(Dimension two)

Alt. Wonder Woman: Make this quick, Frost. I'm needed at Stryker's island

Killer Frost: I've discovered anomalies

Alt. Wonder Woman: "Like tears in the fabric of space and time". I got your message. Get to the point

(Killer Frost points at a computer)

Killer Frost: I think these are the places the duplicates arrived. This one may be the source of the transfer

Alt. Wonder Woman: The insurgency

Killer Frost: I don't know yet. It's just a theory

Alt. Wonder Woman: Superman doesn't want theories! He needs facts! Why did you come to me with this?!

(Alternate Wonder Woman sighs)

Alt. Wonder Woman: Just send the coordinates to Flash. He can confirm your "theory" faster than anyone

Killer Frost: Done. Is there a-?

(Deathstroke punches Alternate Wonder Woman in the back of the head and ties her up in her lasso)

Deathstroke: Nice detective work. But you're too late

(Deathstroke fights Killer Frost and wins with rubber bullets from his pistols)

Deathstroke: Too easy. Your tactics are one dimensional

Alt. Wonder Woman: Yes. They are

Deathstroke: I knew your lasso wouldn't hold you for long

(Deathstroke fires at Alternate Wonder Woman with his pistol, but she blocks the bullets with her bracelet and takes the pistol with her lasso)

Alt. Wonder Woman: You were offered amnesty, Deathstroke. You should have taken it

Deathstroke: And miss my chance to battle Superman's rebound girl?

Alt. Wonder Woman: How dare you! I'm an Amazon!

(Alternate Wonder Woman tries to punch Deathstroke, but he grabs both of her fists)

Deathstroke: An obsolete race with predictable techniques. Give me a real challenge. Surprise me

(Deathstroke fights Alternate Wonder Woman and wins with an uppercut)

Deathstroke: I'm not impressed

Deadpool: Huh. He must have been an Ebay

(Deathstroke walks into a room with a laser cannon)

Deathstroke: Cyborg. I've got it. Send me to Luthor

Cyborg: Roger that. Hope it was worth it. Batman, you all ready? We're down to 45 minutes

Alt. Batman: We're in position. Commence assault
