"Next time on Death Battle."
There was a flurry of punches covered in purple flames, and then an odd burning symbol hangs on the screen. Then they heard a creepy, chilling voice. "Your soul is mine."
With no time to waste, The Team puts in the second episode.
Wally hits play.
Suddenly, the Zeta tubes lit up.
Recognized: Green Arrow 08, Black Canary 13
Arrow stretched his arms. "Man, I hate monitor duty. I always get cramps."
Canary turned to him. "It was your turn since you skipped yesterday so we could go on our date," she placed a hand on his aching shoulder. "I'll tell you what. When we get home, I'll give you a therapeutic massage."
"Thanks, babe. I could use it." He turned to the seven people in front of the TV. "Hey, kids. Whatcha watching?"
The Team looked at each other for an answer until Wally spoke up. "We're just watching some DVDs that I...bought."
"Oh cool," He smiled. "I haven't had time to sit down and relax with all the craziness that's happened. Mind if Dinah and I join you guys?"
Robin smiled. "Yeah, no problem. The more, the merrier." The others didn't mind as well.
After another advertisement named Gamefly, the Death Battle Logo appears with the second episode. The Team was wondering who's next after the ending of the first episode.
"Death Battle?" Dinah raised a brow. "Are you sure that you guys should be watching something like this?"
"Oh come on sweetie. Let us enjoy ourselves. It can't be that bad compared to what we all do daily." He turned to the teens. "Right?"
"It's all good," Wally replied.
"If anything, just think of it as one of those action movies," said Robin.
"I'll take your word for it then." The older couple relaxed back into their seat.

"Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat. These two showcase masters of combat. Just as they have awesome heroes, they have awesome villains."
Robin and Wally smirked. Both were self-proclaimed professional gamers, especially at fighting games. Recently, a studio was granted permission to use the members of the League in their latest video game. There were two modes: MMORPG and Arcade. Online, you could create your hero, and do missions from the in-game League to rise in the ranks. Arcade was the classic fighting arena. The two would often challenge each other using Batman and Flash, respectively. Robin and Wally would play online with each other every other day if they were free. They each had their advantage in their play style. Robin understood the game mechanics down to its base code, and Wally had the enhanced reflexes to match that.
At the mention of the genre, Oliver thought back to his youth, spending countless hours at the arcade on all sorts of games. He was a rich kid; He could do whatever he wanted.
The others didn't play many games, but they all couldn't wait to see fighting games from another Earth
"Like Akuma, the Fighting Devil."
Robin and Dinah smiled.
"And Shang Tsung, the soul-eating sorcerer ."
Zatanna and Kaldur perked up at the mention of a sorcerer and souls.
"He's Wiz, and I'm Boomstick."
