Barry and Kara explained their entire story to Bruce, Selina, and Alfred over some tea. They left out no details to how they got to where they currently were in Wayne Manor, Gotham, or that Earth altogether.Of course, Selina couldn't believe a word of it.
"Parallel Earths, aliens from other planets...you really expect us to swallow all that Star Trek crap?"
"Is it any harder to believe than what's been happening around Gotham?" Bruce challenged her. "Theo Galavan and Jerome coming back from death, Ivy growing from a child to a full-grown adult overnight, Victor Fries' condition..."
"Alright, alright," Selina caved. "I get what you're saying."
"So how do you two suppose on returning back to whatever it is you come from?" Alfred inquired, while pouring Kara a fresh pot.
Barry shook his head, shrugging. "If it were just me here, it'd be as easy as running fast enough to create a breach back into my world. But Kara and I arrived by more complicated means. A friend of ours named Min has a machine that—"
"Min? Like as in 'Min Curtsinger'?!" Selina reacted.
"Yeah," Barry confirmed. "You know her?"
Selina scoffed. "Who doesn't know the most ruthless club owner in Gotham and her equally insane sister, Maureen?"
The other name Selina mentioned was well familiar to Barry and Kara.
It was one of the regenerations of Neas, the Time Lord that had involved them in the most recent interdimensional conflict they barely managed to survive. Now Selina was telling them that both Gallifreyans – ones that saved all of the multiverse – were dangerous gangsters?
None of it made any sense.
"The Curtsinger Sisters run their club, 'Club Infinite,' on the east side of Gotham," Selina said. "It's in serious competition with Sirens, a club run by Barbara Kean and Tabitha Galavan. They pretty much threaten each other into shutting the other club down every week."
"Can you take us to 'Club Infinite'?" Kara requested.
Selina refrained from bursting with laughter. "No one just walks into Club Infinite and expect to walk out with their limbs intact. Either of you could get hurt or even killed." She then reconsidered her warning upon realizing who and what she was talking to. "But you guys clearly don't have to worry about that, having super speed and being bulletproof. So...why not?"
"I'll go with you," Bruce boldly volunteered.
"Like bloody hell you are!" Alfred stormed. "Master Bruce, did you not hear what Miss Kyle just said about this dreadful nightclub?"
