Chapter XXIX: Overwhelmed.

Last Time.

Manhattan January 26, 09:57 EST.

Bystanders are gathered around Infinity Inc. asking for autographs as the authorities take Captain cold showing a control chip in his neck before they place a collar over it.

Later, Infinity Inc. steps into a limo. They check the trending polls again. They are now more popular than the Outsiders. Trajectory looked up to see both Lex and a woman sitting on the seat in front of them.

She is Caucasian with brown eyes and light brown hair. She's wearing a business suit with a red tie and a short skirt.

"Happy, boss?"

Lex just smiled as they started driving off.

Now.

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse February 03, 09:15 EST.

Knock-Knock!

"Coming!" Naruto yelled at Athanasia before walking to the door and opened it.

Revealing a Caucasian woman with long black hair in a white dress.

"Morning Hippolyta, What are you doing here?" Naruto asked his mother-in-law who stepped in.

"I came to see my grandchildren," Hippolyta said, picking Athanasia from Naruto.

"They moved to Happy Harbor," Naruto said, closing the door as the Amazon went to the living room.

"I know that. I'll stop by there when I'm done here. I was talking about the kids." Hippolyta said before speaking in baby talk to Athanasia having Naruto raise an eyebrow at how the warrior was acting.

"Gramma Lyta!"

Lian ran in as did her brothers as Paula walked in with Xiang. "Hello Hippolyta, here for a visit?"

"Yes, I came to visit the kids," Hippolyta said as Marie was walking in.

"You know, we could have more if Naruto would make a move on his side harem."

"Don't start," Naruto said to Paula as she grinned before Marie spoke.

"Yes, I'm sure they'll be willing." Naruto groaned as he rubbed his face.

"And there's the island," Hippolyta spoke as she decided to join in on teasing Naruto.

"Not you too! I have enough with these two when the others are at work or school!"

"But they miss you Naruto."

"No, they don't! They don't like men! And I mean that they don't like men coming to the island or anything like that!"

"They made an exception for you. I think you're the only man they enjoy coming to the island. I thought you did as well from the times you accidentally walked in the bathing area." Hippolyta said with a smirk.

"Diana tricked me!"

"My daughter wouldn't do such a thing, some of the women there on the other hand…"

"Is it too early to drink?" Naruto asked, rubbing his face with both hands.

Naruto's Penthouse February 09, 20:15 EST.

Wonder Woman was walking down the hall after talking to Naruto about her role with Batman, Kaldur, and M'gann before sighing as she took off her gauntlets, shield, and sword to put in a safe at the end of the hall. Reaching for her lasso, she found it missing before turning to see if it fell in the hall.

"Naruto, did you see where my lasso is?" She asked turning to the opened bedroom door before her lasso came out and wrapped around her wrists.

She was then pulled in where the last thing she saw before the door closed was a nude tied up M'gann on Naruto's bed before she was pushed onto it to land on her stomach with her lower half hanging off.

Western Mongolia February 15, 09:02 ICT.

Vandal is watching a news report on the League's success of taking down the meta-human trafficking in space and had returned the kids to the Youth Center. Looking up, he saw the other members of the Light on screens who appear to be watching as well.

"I believe it's now time to put our plan in motion," Lex said with a smile.

Hollywood February 14, 18:03 PST.

Halo watched Lian play with action figures of Wonder Woman and Kage in the hub as several of Talia's guards were also watching the other kids. Garfield and Victor sat on the couch watching the same news that turned to show Gretchen and Granny fusing together and that she had been missing to make a comment on if the video was faked.

And introduced Victor as the newest member of the Outsiders.

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse February 14, 19:04 EST.

Naruto had a large table in the kitchen with a dinner with each wife with only candles lighting the room.

"Who took the kids?" Artemis asked, taking a bite of her meal.

"Violet and a few of Talia's guards took them to the Hub," Naruto replied looking up.

"And Steph?"

"Hanging with some friends," Naruto said, looking up remembering Stephanie wasn't fond of this time still.

(Flashback.) (1.)

Gotham City, February 14, 2017, 18:16 EST.

"I thought I asked you to come alone?" Stephanie asked wearing a blue coat to Zatanna who was wearing a grey coat under the Weeping Willow Tree.

With her are Raquel and Megan. "Don't you guys have Valentine's plans?"

"Later, yes, but you know we'd do anything to help you," Raquel said as Stephanie pulled Zatanna to her.

"You can't, but she can." Steph then pulled her back a couple of steps before whispering. "Why did you bring them? They're not a part of this."

"They're not here for this part. They're here for the aftermath… Assuming we do this at all." Zatanna said with a frown.

"Assuming?!"

"I've told you there are limits to my magic. I can't raise the dead."

"Raise the dead?" Raquel asked in confusion.

"If we do this… It'll leave you devastated all over again." Zatanna explained looking at Steph. "I'm asking you, begging you, to reconsider this."

"You say you can't raise the dead but we saw Secret rise from hers. We know the soul exists." Steph said before grabbing the magicians' hands in hers. "And you know I never had the chance to say good-bye. I never had that closure."

Zatanna sighed at that before speaking. "Stephanie, I love you but you have to work through it like everyone else who's suffered through this."

"No! No, I need your magic! I will do anything! If you don't I'll make a deal with Wotan, John, or someone else, I swear it!"

"(Sigh) I can't bring a dead soul to Earth… Best I can do is meet him halfway." Zatanna said after a sigh.

"Thank you," Steph said, hugging Zatanna.

"Don't hug me. Just don't hate me when it's over. I'll send your soul to Limbo, nothing there is real, your imagination creates everything you see. It'll be very seductive, easy to get lost, and want to stay. And if you don't emerge by sunrise, your soul will be trapped there forever." Zatanna explained as Stephanie sighed.

"I understand."

"Step back," Zatanna said, having the other two take a step back before she brought her hands up and spoke a spell. "Siht si tsuj a wohs fo thgil dna dnuos! (This is just a show of light and sounds!)"

A bright light blinded Stephanie before she opened her eyes to see she was wearing nothing but white clothes and standing on clouds. "Whoa."

"Hey, babe."

Turning, she saw Wally also wearing white walk out of a cloud."Missed ya."

"Wally!" She then ran to Wally and kissed him.

"Happy Valentine's day Steph."

"You remembered."

"What kinda jerk would I be if I forgot? For the third year in a row."

"So you're really dead?" she asked as he nodded.

"Yeah, let's not think about that now. We only have a few hours, how do you want to spend them? He asked before their old house appeared around them with her weapons in a glass case on the wall as well as college degrees before Brucely ran to them.

"Whoa, looks like things moved fast," Wally said, having Steph look down to see that she was not only wearing a wedding ring but that she was 9 months pregnant.

"Very fast."

A year went by before Steph was holding a baby with red hair as they talked about their jobs before she saw Zatanna doing a magic show on the TV talking to her about making the sun appear before Steph changed the channel.

'Hello, Megan!'

"And had Marie's old show come up before she turned the TV off.

Knock-Knock!

Wally opened the door showing Zatanna, Megan, and Raquel.

"Hi. We just wanted to stop by-"

Stephanie then walked up to stop Zatanna. "To see the baby. I understand. But I hope you understand why I need to be selfish right now and not share our little family."

"What do you see Steph?" Wally asked Steph to take her to the window.

"It's darker… The Sun's about to rise."

"And what else?"

"I see a life with our baby!"

"Uh-huh. We do make a cute baby, but boy or girl?"

"What?"

"What's the name? We talked about having one but never agreed to the name. Where are they?"

Steph looked down to see the baby was gone before everything but Wally and the door disappeared.

"Open the door, Stephanie. Let people in again. Or better yet, walk through it yourself. You've helped people but you haven't let anyone help you."

"Please, please hold on.

"I want to babe. But I won't let you throw your life away on a memory of what was or even on a dream of what might have been. There's real-life for you beyond this door. Another chance at real love."

"No, I had my chance." She said as tears welled up.

"You'll get another. So, this very morning, I want you to stop mourning. I want you to live your life and find love. I'm not sure who could possibly deserve you. But I trust you to make the right choice. After all, babe, you must have good taste. You picked me."

"I'm not sorry for coming here."

"Neither am I. We needed this to say good-bye. But it's time for my spitfire to go home. Live."

After another kiss, he took a step back as his clothes turned back to white as she turned to the door and opened it before walking through.

And saw she was back in the tree before tearing up. Zatanna, Megan, and Raquel are by her side, embracing her. Stephanie thanks Zatanna for giving her the chance to find closure. Megan and Steph walk ahead while Raquel and Zatanna hang back. Raquel admires Zatanna for summoning Wally's ghost but Zatanna admits that she never did because it was true that she does not have the power to summon the dead.

Raquel suddenly realizes that it was Megan. Zatanna explains that Megan created a place in Stephanie's mind while Stephanie imagined the rest. With Zatanna's legerdemain and Megan's telepathy, Stephanie was able to work things out for herself.

(Flashback End.)

Geranium City February 14, 20:16: CST.

Conner, Donna, Fred, and Wolf are in the Bio-Ship as an RV driving down a wooded area as Fred was talking to Conner who was driving.

"The decision is difficult. Miss Martian and Kage believe Forager can go to New Genesis. But Forager has made many good friends here. Forager believes Forager would like to stay. But… Forager cannot be Forager here on Earth. Only Fred Bugg." Fred looked to the side mirror and saw his real form. "But Fred Bugg's Glamour Charm has become an albatross around Forager's neck."

Conner just looked at him, getting Fred to chuckle. "Fred Bugg has been reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in Happy Harbor's English class."

"Right."

"So Conner Kent sees Forager's dilemma?"

"Conner Kent does That's why we're here," Conner replied, pulling into a small town and stopping at a gas station with one car at the pumps.

They walked out where they're greeted by a bald African-American man wearing a dark grey jacket over a sweater vest, blue button shirt, and black tie.

"Evening Conner, Donna."

"Evening Mr. Mayor. We'd like you to meet our friend, Fred. Fred Bugg." Donna said walking over as Wolf stepped out and shook. "This is Dabney Donovan, the mayor of Geranium City."

Fred shook the mayor's hand as the car left. "I think we're clear," Conner said as Dabney nodded.

"Yes, there are no more strangers in town at this time. I will drop the psychic illusion." A ring came off of Dabney as he and the citizens changed into aliens.

Dabney is now a tall, slender man with blue skin. He has horns and the absence of a nose. He also has pointed, fin-like ears, and two ribbons of flesh, originating on his cheeks. He was wearing plain white hospital-like pants and a matching shirt.

"Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Dubbilex, and this is the real Geranium City." Dubbilex said motioning to the others who now looked similar to him or have an insect theme before seeing very large ones with tusks.

He took the group around town where they ran into Jim Harper and an African-American female with glasses before a small Genomorph jumped on Conner's shoulder.

Hollywood February 14, 18:30 PST.

Garfield and Victor are watching Tod Donner interview Geo-Force about Infinity Inc and if they're worried about competition. Garfield gets a text from Blue Beetle saying that he thinks Geo-Force is stealing Gar's thunder. Garfield just replies that he doesn't mind so long as the message gets out.

Beverly Hills February 14, 18:34 PST.

In a hotel, Gregor turns the TV off before turning to his siblings ecstatic about the good publicity the two are getting and that'll help Markovia allow meta-humans meaning they could come home soon. Gregor assures them that he is trying to change that. The three of them embrace. Tara excuses herself and walks into the bathroom.

She pulls out her phone and sends a text to Deathstroke.

Gregor's out of Markovia.

Meeting w/his meta-siblings.

Hollywood February 14, 18:39 PST.

Back at the Hub, Garfield was changing into different animals for the kids. Suddenly, a Boom tube opens and Metron comes through. Violet protects the kids as she looks up. "Stay back!"

Metron forces his boom tube to consume Violet, Victor, and the kids, along with himself, leaving Garfield behind.

Unknown - -, -:- -

Violet, Victor, and Lian are floating around in space. Lian is having fun floating around. Violet and Victor find that they can't speak as only beeps came out of their mouths. The younger kids flew around as Damian held his sister and held Xiang's hands.

"Yes, the children are perfectly safe here granddaughter," Metron said floating down to them before more beeps came out of Violet's mouth. "Indeed, you are my granddaughter, and you are my grandson," Metron said looking to Victor when he opened his mouth. "For you, both are the children of the children birthed from my intellect," Metron explained.

"Having reevaluated, I am impressed with how you both survived and evolved my technology." He said moving around before stopping in front of them. "As Halo and Cyborg… You have become extremely important players in the coming galactic conflict." He said before both 'spoke' again. "No need to be modest. I will enjoy watching your continued evolution… Assuming Darkseid does not kill you. Since you both present great obstacles to his plans."

Hollywood February 14, 18:45 PST.

The group then Boom Tube back to the Hub as the others looked to them.

Markovburg February 15, 05:45 EET.

Baron Bedlam and Simon Ecks are in prison, busy mopping the floors. A boom tube appears and Count Vertigo walks through. After taking out the prison guard, Baron and Simon escape.

Geranium City February 14, 20:55 CST.

Dubbilex is sitting with Conner, Donna, and Forager who took his amulet off in his office. He asks the Genome on Conner's shoulder to show Forager how their city came to be. Dubbilex explains that the original Geranium City was under the Cadmus building and under the control of Lex Luthor. But then Conner, Donna along with many of their allies, rescued them and brought them to a new place to begin a new life.

But he admits that while the illusions make them more accepted in the outside world, they still feel out of place. Dubbilex admits to Conner and Donna that they all still feel segregated and never permitted to be themselves. Forager admits that he feels the same way, but at least the prejudice issues are being addressed.

He hands his amulet disguise back to Conner, explaining that he will remain in Geranium City on the front lines and fight the good fight with the Outsiders as himself. Dubbilex calls Forager's ambitions admirable. He then turns to Conner and Donna and asks what they will do.

"We've been waiting for the right time, G. Gordon turned the populace off of beings like you all back during the invasion and that was before the Reach was revealed to take over the world," Donna said to the Genome as Wolf sat beside her.

Gotham City; Naruto's Penthouse February 14, 22:16 EST.

Naruto wearing only black pajama pants washed the dishes before Violet came in holding a sleeping Lian as Talia's guards followed with the other kids.

"Not a handful were they?"

"No," Violet said before walking to Lian's room.

Beverly Hills February 14, 19:03 PST.

The Markovs watched TV as Tod Donner announces that Baron Bedlam has escaped from prison and has taken over control of Markovia. It then went to a response from Lex Luthor who states that he will not lift the ban for the Justice League to enter Markovia. He ends by saying that this is an internal matter that the country needs to fight themselves.

"How did he know I was out of the country?" Gregor asks looking at the screen before throwing the remote. "I must go back!"

"No, they'll kill you the second you step foot…" Brion said before standing. "But I have another option my Squad can step foot there since the Justice League cannot."

"I will not hide in a Beverly Hills hotel!"

"Be patient brother, we tried it your way, now we try it my way," Brion said looking at his brother. "Geo-Force will lead the Outsiders to save our homeland."

Tara stood up at that. "Markovia, here we come!"

To Be Continued.

1. Since we didn't have Stephanie have feelings for Naruto to kiss and set her off, we decided on doing it as a flashback. for cannon, I feel that should have happened earlier... I know it was probably the kiss that set it off, but going on 3 years after Wally's "Death" shouldn't have made Artemis wanna go to the afterlife as again going that far I think the breakdown should have been the 1st anniversary, Valentines Day, or Thanksgiving/Christmas without Wally. But that's just me.
