The world as it was had seen many things some good, the likes of Batman, Superman, Wonder-woman, The Flash, Green lantern and Martian Manhunter, but with the good comes the bad, evil like the joker, schemers like Luther, miss guided souls like Poison Ivy, crazy's like Harley Quinn and everything in between.
It was a dark day or was it night, you could never really tell in Gotham not with all the smog and smoke that filled the sky and the very air you breathed, many said the city is cursed and they were right but just didn't know it, it had been years since batman first started his activities and basic crime was down sure but the amount of strange things, bigger criminal groups and powered individuals kind of made the change not better.
It was a night like any other in Gotham, crime at the docks had been reported so Batman and Robin were there to put a stop to it. Perched upon the old factory at the docks they observed the situation from above using a collection of gadgets, from what they could get from the goons talking it was a shipment of drug, nothing new until they heard it was made by scarecrow and was supposed to be able to effect even Superman.
*Coms crackled to life softly*
"Batman this is Batgirl I'm 60 seconds out, copy" (Barbara Gordon)
"Batman to Batgirl, I copy, make sure you have your gasmask Scarecrow has been working with the group at the docks, come in from the south and begin operation right away"
Batman glanced over to Robin (Dick Grayson) and nodded his head before attaching his grappling hook to the roof and dropping over the side with Robin following behind. The inside was dim and goons moved back and forth loading a truck full of boxes, moving silently they come upon a few goons in the back nocking them out with ease before moving deeper into the building.
*Crash*
"Fuck Ron really man, you trying to get shot!"
Someone dropped a crate making everyone jump, muscles tensed as they looked around it didn't matter that it was a goon who dropped the crate, In Gotham they believed anything going to smooth was bad news, it meant shit was about to go down and how right they were. From the shadows Batman leapt into action, an elbow hitting a goon across the chin knocking him down, Robin dropping from a stack of boxes kneed one in the face, the goons used to it raised their weapons and unloaded.
*Pop! Bang! Dak-Dak-Dak! Rattatatata!*
Batman weaved through the shower of lead easily, he'd done it far to often over the many years, Robin dove to cover tossing Birdarangs left and right knocking guns from hands and sometimes piercing an arm or leg. A window behind the goons broke as Batgirl came flying in landing on two goons slamming them into the ground the sound of gasps for air muffled under her, tossing her Batarangs at those out of reach.
Batman, Robin and Batgirl made quick work of the some 20 goons, having broken bones or being unconscious the goons lay on the ground in pain, as they tagged the boxes and got ready to call the police in, a sharp crack sound filled the warehouse, the sound of air screaming as a spot before them tore open, Batgirl and Robin had to cover their ears as Batman stood at the ready, it was the first time he'd seen magic or whatever this was.
*Coms crackle to life* "Batman to league requesting back up at my position, bring Zatanna, I have visual on what appears to be a rip in space from magic"
As the space tore and twisted all that could be seen through it was the dark night sky covered in stars, not even 10 minutes after his call a boom was heard outside the warehouse and in walked Zatanna, Martian Manhunter and Cyborg. Zatanna started checking the magic and seeing if she could decipher the spell, while Cyborg check to see if it was advanced tech being used, Batgirl and Robin had left before they arrived to turn in the goons and take the drugs to the station.
A few minutes into the investigation Manhunter dropped to his knees sweating and panting, Batman moved to his side helping him up.
"Are you alright J'onn."
"I-I am fine, whoever is on the other side is in so much pain and anger, I was unable to reach their mind and calm them"
Batman glanced at J'onn before focusing on the tear, a pulse of magic tore though the air sending the four hero's tumbling backwards stopping a few feet from the spot the stood. Slowly a figure appeared as the tear closed, Zatanna gasped feeling the raw magic pouring from the person, Cyborg took note of the armor they wore, sleek black with slim horns on the pauldrons, a torn red cloth around the waist, gauntlets spiked, the helm on the ground shinning with two larger horns, one on each side.
But it was Batman and J'onn that saw the most. Batman noted in his mind the way they stood, noble and strong, the pointed ears and slightly scale like skin around the neck, the sword at their side bigger than most, he'd need both hands just to drag it, the dried blood on it a sign it took life. The armor in a class of it's own almost alien looking with how well made it was, a masterpiece unlike any he'd seen. But it was the Aura he felt that put him on guard, training from the league of assassin's had taught him to get a glimpse of how much blood one had on their hands. He could've sworn he saw an ocean of red under the armored feet of this unknown person.
J'onn stared into those black eyes with pools of silver for pupils that glowed, red hair that flowed in the wind, a look of loss and sadness etched into the rough yet beautiful face of the woman before him, he had seen that look in the mirror, the loss of one's people and home. J'onn reached out with his mind, slower than before, sending forth a simple feeling, safety, warmth, peace. Batman went to speak and J'onn put a hand on his shoulder just enough to let him know to wait.
It was silent as a grave in the warehouse, the hero's didn't move nor did the warrior, it was peaceful, only Batman kept track of the time, five minutes and still that figure stood there, still as a corpse. Finally he spoke, in his deep gravely like Batman voice.
"Who are you and where did you come from"
Silence, Batman took a step forward
"You'll have to answer my questions, this is earth and it is under our protection.."
J'onn stepped forth holding Batman back as he was about to start interrogating this person, and softly J'onn spoke
"She is asleep, I and Zatanna will gently get her back to the watch tower"
Batman grunted and turned leaving only a few words before he was gone into the night
"I'll get my answers, keep watch over her"
With Zatanna's help they softly levitated the woman before them, even asleep they couldn't get the sword form her hand, Cyborg followed the warriors helmet in hand opened a boom tube when they all got outside.
