Marvel and DC: The Beginning of the End

Chapter 1: The Other Side

Batman: So you're saying that if we can somehow hack into the very fabric of space, we could open that portal up.

Cyborg: Yeah, exactly. But there's almost no way of doing that.

Batman: Hmmm...

Batman and Cyborg keep working until the portal makes an alarming sound.

Cyborg: Crap, that does not sound good.

Batman: We need to shut it down.

Cyborg: The only way of shutting it down is to destroy it, and we don't know what effects it could have.

Batman: Then we have to get out of here before somethi-

The portal explodes, and Batman and Cyborg black out. When they wake up, they find the Batcave to be fine, and the portal in good condition.

Cyborg: What the heck? Nothing happened.

Batman: I clearly saw an explosion before we black out. The portal must've warped reality.

Cyborg: But how? There's no way it could've done that without the help of an external force. 

Batman: That means there might be someone on the other side of this portal who's trying to mess with it.

Cyborg: Well if that's true, then we need to investigate.

Batman: I can get Clark and Barry.

Cyborg: Okay, you do that while I try to finish opening this portal. I think I'm close.

Batman sends out a signal to Clark Kent and Barry Allen, aka, Superman and the Flash.

Batman: You guys available?

Flash: I am, I mean if you call eating pizza and watching Netflix available.

Superman: So am I, Bruce. What do you need?

Batman: Cyborg and I have been working on opening this portal, and I want you guys to help me investigate what's on the other side.

Flash: I'm in!

Superman: So am I.

Batman: Good, I'll see you in a few minutes.

Batman hangs up and turn back to Cyborg.

Batman: Is it ready?

Cyborg: Just about.

Then they see the Flash standing in front of them.

Flash: Hey Batman. Hey Cyborg.

Batman: Thanks for coming, Barry.

Flash: No problem.

Superman flies in.

Superman: So what exactly is going on here?

Cyborg: Just in time. I finished opening the portal, and it should be ready for you guys to enter.

Superman: That's an interesting portal. It just randomly appeared?

Cyborg: Yep, just a day ago.

Superman: Well I guess we shouldn't waste time.

Cyborg: Hop on in when you're ready.

Flash: Way ahead of you!

Flash speeds into the portal.

Superman: I guess that's our queue!

Superman and Batman go into the portal, then Batman pokes his head back out.

Batman: Cyborg, tell us if anything weird happens.

Cyborg: Got it.

Batman ducks back into the portal. The three heroes end up in a laboratory with lots of technology and machines.

Flash: So... Where exactly are we?

Batman: I have no idea. I've never been here before.

Superman: Me neither. But this lab is interesting.

Batman: It is. It has things similar to my lab, except for this...

Batman points at a small tube with liquid in it.

Superman: How do you know it's not just colored water or something?

Batman: Because there wouldn't be colored water in a high tech lab like this.

Superman: True, but what is it?

Batman: I don't know, could be anything.

Flash: You going to pocket it?

Batman: No, I'm not going to steal. I have a hunch that whoever's owns this lab is a resoected scientist.

Superman: And what tells you that.

Batman: All of those awards

Batman points to a big shelf with tons of trophies and medals.

Flash: Holy crap! He must be a genius!

Batman: Yes, and it look like his name is Reed Richards.
