Chapter 9 – The Gotham Bat and The Question

A little something I forgot to mention, S.T.A.R. Labs does exist on Earth-38, while S.T.A.R. won't play a very big part right now, Silas Stone does currently work there (I hope you understand what that means.) S.T.A.R. is also L Corps biggest competitor. Also, for looks, Batman will be the Ben Affleck version.

"Who are you?" Kara questioned as she turned towards the very faint outline of a person.

"Hey" the man said as he emerged from the darkness. His voice was modulated and sounded very rough, reminding Barry of the voice modulator that Oliver uses sometimes. Barry was surprised he didn't even notice the man in the dark corner. "I'm Batman." Batman said.

"Batman," Kara said, as she sighed in relief. "We've never had the pleaser of meeting. My cousin speaks very highly of you."

"I'm glad to hear it. Clark and I have been friends for many years." Batman said.

"You- you know that Clark is Superman?" Kara asked in confusion. She knew that Superman and Batman had worked together on multiple occasions, but she had no idea they knew each other's secret identities.

"Yes, I figured it out just after his first appearance as Superman. Just like I know you are Kara Danvers. And no Clark did not tell me." Batman said as if he was having a normal conversation. "But I have no idea who you are." The Bat said, directing his attention to Flash. "All I know is when there's an energy spike, The Flash either appears or disappears. I also know you are from an alternate earth."

"So why are you here?" Kara asked. From what Clark had told her, The Bat almost never left his hunting grounds back at Gotham unless it was absolutely necessary.

"I'm tracking someone. He is very dangerous and he is a monster of my own making." Batman said.

"Who?" Kara asked.

"I think you can figure it out." Batman said as he threw a playing card at Kara and Barry.

"A Joker playing card? What is this supposed to mean?" Barry asked as he looked the playing card over. "I'm guessing it's some sort of calling card?" Barry asked as he looked back at Batman.

"Correct you are, Mr. Allen." Batman said, which caught Barry off guard.

"How do you know my name? I'm not even from this earth!" Barry said in shock.

"While this is true, you and Ms. Danvers have spoken each other's names openly in the DEO, which has security cameras which I hacked into. You really should be more careful when speaking each other's names out loud." Batman deadpanned.

Kara decided she had enough of Batman and decided to take a look under the mask. She was shocked to say the least at who she saw, but she hid it well. "And you should have use a lead lined cowl, Mr. Wayne." Kara said.

"Be that as it may, I would rather have a Kryptonian figure out my identity than have I get a form of lead poisoning." Bruce said.

"Ok, you've got to give him that one." Barry said, looking at Kara. "So do you want help with this guy?" Barry asked Batman.

"No. I can handle The Joker on my own. If I need assistance, I know where to find you." Batman said. Barry and Kara looked at each other and shrugged, deciding they would let the Gotham Bat do his thing, he has been doing this a lot longer than either of them. When they turned to tell him, he was already gone.

"Damn, Clark wasn't kidding when he said Batman just disappears. I can't even hear him!" Kara said.

"Kind of reminds me of Oliver." Barry said.

Once they got back, they explained everything that happened. "So you guys heading back?" Barry asked Oliver and the rest of his friends.

"Yeah, our city still needs use. I'll see you around Barry." Oliver said as he and Barry exchanged a hug. After the good byes were said and everyone from Earth-1, except for Barry, returned to Earth-1, Barry and Kara headed back to her apartment.

Barry and Kara need to have a very important conversation. Once Kara and Barry entered the apartment and Kara shut the door, Barry asked the question he had been thinking about all day. "What would you say if I wanted to move here?"

"You- you mean you'd move to another earth? For me?" Kara asked as her heart melted for the man in front of her.

"Yeah. I've Been thinking about it for a while. Since Wally is a speedster, he could protect Central City. I would just need to train him for a little while, but after a couple of months, I think he would be ready to take on being The Flash on his own." Barry said.

"Are you sure Barry? I mean, you'd be leaving behind your entire world." Kara asked. She wanted him to move to her world, but she wanted to make sure he was 100% ok with doing so.

"Yes, I'm sure. I love you Kara. I want be able to share a loft with you, a bed. I want to spend my life with you." Barry said and Kara's heart melted even more.

She kissed him deeply as her response. Once they were out of breath, the pulled back but kept their foreheads together. "Yes Barry, I would love for you to move to my earth and move in with me. I'll have Winn create some ID for you."

"We can worry about all that later, right now, it's just us." Barry said, he then kissed her deeply again and Kara leaded them to the bedroom.

Unknown location, National City

"We got what you asked for, Mr. J. while you had crews rob the banks, they never even noticed that we slipped in and stole some of their kryptonite. We also found some stuff called Red K, thought it might be useful." Said a rather bulk individual as he set down a crate, containing the items he just talked about.

The Joker then laughed like a maniac, probably because he is one. "They won't even know what hit them." Joker said as he picked up some kryptonite and loaded it into a gun.

"No, they will have absolutely no idea." Lillian Luthor said, as she came out of the shadows. Then came a flash of red.

"Sorry I'm late to the party, traffic was terrible." Eobard Thawne said as he came to a stop.

Black Manta took off his helmet and looked over at Eobard and said "Just don't be late to the fight when we need you."

"This will be fun." Sinestro said, as his ring started to glow yellow.

Sorry if this chapter seems out of place, not to many ideas and my head still hurts after getting hit by a car. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and as you can tell, Wally is a speedster. I decided to make it so that Wally and Jesse both got Speed Force abilities when they were hit by the dark matter. Sorry if Batman doesn't seem like Batman, he's not exactly very easy to write. Until the next one, peace.
