Cherry and Atticus: Crisis on Two Earths

chapter 7

Johnny Quick soon went up to where the bomb used to be once the platform was ready.

"Good luck." Lady Gothika said.

"I thought you didn't believe in luck." Bat-Mite told her.

"Whatever." Lady Gothika just shrugged that off.

"You have to hold that speed precisely," Lex told the speedster. "Got it?"

Johnny Quick soon attempted to do as he was told which seemed like he was doing a great job so far.

"Faster... Faster!" Lex instructed Johnny Quick.

Johnny Quick did what he could as the power levels raised higher and higher before he began to scream out like he was in pain.

"Oh! Looks like this is it!" Bat-Mite said as Johnny Quick seemed to glow.

"Yep, looks like it's working." Owl-Mite said.

"Quit copying me, you rip-off!" Bat-Mite glared as he swatted Owl-Mite away like a bug.

"My Owl-Mite!" Lady Sunshine glared. "Why, you--"

"Don't touch him!" Lady Gothika growled before they got into a fight cloud.

Bat-Mite and Owl-Mite leaned over a bit eagerly as they watched the fight.

"Cut it out." Batman said sharply as he grabbed a hold of Lady Gothika.

"But she started it!" Lady Gothika glared.

"And I'm ending it." Batman said firmly.

"But--" Lady Gothika bit her lip.

"Cherry..." Batman said sharply and coldly.

"Okay! O-Okay, I'll stop!" Lady Gothika said from fear then. "Gee, you'd make a heck of a dad."

"She ain't wrong." Bat-Mite said.

"If I ever see you do that again without a good warrant, you'll have to be disciplined." Batman sharply told Lady Gothika.

"I'm terrified to imagine what that punishment would be." Lady Gothika gulped a bit before she was put back down on the floor.

There were soon strong winds blowing back and forth from Johnny Quick's help for the world, and where soon, the portal was shown after the computer showed the target had been connected.

"Hold that speed!" Lex cried out.

A portal soon seemed to come out.

"I'll be back later." Batman told his goddaughter.

Lady Gothika nodded silently from that. Batman soon activated the device and went through the portal.

"You worried about him?" Saiya Man asked.

"...Maybe a little bit." Lady Gothika replied.

"Someone should go with him." Saiya Man said.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea..." Lady Gothika glanced away. "He does his best work alone."

"Maybe, but it would be great if someone went with him." Nature Girl said.

"I'm still not sure about that." Lady Gothika said.

Drell soon appeared in a very tiny stature as he climbed on her shoulder and held out his hand to right behind Lady Gothika's head.

"...Saiya Man, I think you should go with Batman." Lady Gothika suddenly said with wide eyes, almost sounding like a zombie.
