Penguin watched his men move the crates of guns from truck to truck in the back alley of the poorly lit Gotham dockyard. Each team worked in pairs quickly and efficiently as they quickly took the wooden crates off of the truck, checked the cargo and moved it to the second less conspicious one parked next to it.

He walked under a lamp post as the last crates were put in.

"Okay, that's enough," he grinned through his sharp teeth. The Gang leader turned to he two men tied up and on their knees.

He raised his umbrella and fired a shot into each of them before turning back.

"Get going before Batman shows his ugly fa-"

"Wow, does your umbrella do anything else?"

Everyone turned to look at the silhouette of the awestruck girl in curly pigtails and dress at the end of the street. She slowly walked up the path towards the gangsters as they all drew their weapons and faced her.

"Wow, you look like a Penguin! That's awesome. Do those flippers work?"

Penguin pointed his umbrella at the girl and she stopped a step away from the light of another lamp post. The blue Hem of her skirt was the only thing lit up.

"Who the fuck are you?" snarled Cobblepot.

The girl stuck a bloody hand out and wagged her finger. "Hey! No swearing!"

One of the men took a small step backwards away from the bloody girl. She stepped into the light and her full outfit was shown. She was dressed normally, but her blue dress was covered in blood and had a belt of surgical equipment tied around it. Her face was similarly covered in red, fresh blood, some of it still dripping from her chin.

Cobblepot couldn't help but roll his eyes at the sight. "Oh, great."

It didn't stop the robotic spiders from jumping down on his men from the roofs of both trucks.

Superman walked into the conference room. Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Flash were seated.

"You called?" the Kryptonian asked.

"Yes," Batman replied. "Several of my sensors have caught signals across the US, primarily in Gotham, Metropolis and Keystone City."

Flash cut in. "And why would you- Nevermind."

Batman glanced at Wally for a moment.

"The real issue is that whatever caused the anomalous readings are still there. I suspect they may be portals to an alternate universe, not unlike the portal to the Justice Lords."

Superman got up. "I'm going there right now," he said.

"Wait, I'm not finished."

"Something came through?"

"Several somethings," Batman replied.

He pressed a button on the table and showed a projection of a young boy in monochome walking down a street on the wall. He walked down the street, occasionally stuttering and twitching. He raised a hand on a boy bouncing a basket ball and the boy also began to stutter, but this time at a constant rate every three seconds.

"That child is trapped in a loop of infinitely recurring time," Batman explained.

He pressed the button again and the screen cut to a second video. A mannequin like robot stumbles out of a portal in Gotham. It immediately takes off down the street and into an alley with frightening speed.

"We need to find and apprehend whoever has entered our dimension."

"I don't think you'll want anyone in Gotham, am I right?" asked Superman.

Batman looked at Superman. "I am allowing a group of heroes to help me with the Gotham portal. Thankfully it isn't situated too far into the city, or close to Blackgate or Arkham."
