A man gets out of bed and puts a green ring on his finger. He looks at his alarm clock.

THE MAN: Shit. I'm late.

Suddenly, a green and white costume forms around him and he leaps out the window. Green Bricks soars through the air and spots his teammate The Scarlet Slips running through the streets of DC Twitter. Green Bricks dives down and flies next to Scarlet Slips.

GREEN BRICKS: Really? Late again.

SCARLET SLIPS: You're late too.

GREEN BRICKS: But which one's gonna be latest?

Scarlet Slips speeds up and leaves Green Bricks in the dust behind him. Green Bricks attempts to catch up but quickly realizes just how fast Scarlet Slips is. Green Bricks lands on the ground and holds up his hand. The ring starts to glow.

SCARLET SLIPS (From the Distance): Ooooowwwww!

Green Bricks flies over to Scarlet Slips, who is lying on the ground in pain.

SCARLET SLIPS: You dick!

GREEN BRICKS: You should watch where you're going next time.

SCARLET SLIPS: You should've tripped me or something instead of making me run full speed into a wall.

GREEN BRICKS: It was funnier to watch.

Slips attempts to stand up but falls back over. His leg is slightly injured.

GREEN BRICKS: Need a ride?

SCARLET SLIPS: I'm not letting you carry me.

THE HALL OF TWITTER

Green Bricks flies down to the entrance, carrying Slips with the ring. He lands and knocks on the door. BatBlake answers the door.

BATBLAKE: You're an hour and a half late.

GREEN BRICKS: Maybe you're just an hour and a half early.

BATBLAKE: We just started the meeting so you haven't missed anything. Come on.

Green Bricks drops Scarlet Slips on the ground. Slips gets up and begins limping to the door.

GREEN BRICKS: Don't be so dramatic.

Green Bricks and Scarlet Slips join the rest of the Twitter League at the meetup table.

AQUACLUVER: Crazy how the fastest one on the team is the last one here.

BATBLAKE: I know we usually like to joke around before these meetings but this time I need you guys to be serious.

SUPERLUNWI: What happened?

BatBlake turns on the TV and shows footage of a dark cloud.

SPIDER-KNIGHTWING: What's this supposed to be?

BATBLAKE: At first we didn't think anything of it but upon further research we've discovered energy from an alternate universe.

MARTIAN VINSTER: Alternate universe?

DRAVOM: We've been to alternate universes before.

BATBLAKE: The cloud is slowly approaching DC Twitter and specifically... The Hall of Twitter.
