dc20willsave Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The Mad Hatter is in custody and it might also be a school night. Tim runs across the rooftops of Gotham, jumping over the alleys, passing between ionic columns... wait, what? Is Maxie Zeus back in town? No, villains may come back from the dead everyday but Maxie? Really? The stars in the sky are not terrestrial constellations so some kind of aliens obsessed with Greek Architecture. That evens it down quite a bit actually. "Hello, Tim," says Donna Troy. Her hair blends with the starscape around her as she lands into the temple square. "Is there a reason you brought me here? I still have some geometry to get done. Is this New Kronos? I thought it... okay, I don't know what happened to it be honest." "I still had it. It's been in hibernation but since time runs different on it, it's like I never left," Donna lands and sits by a fountain," As for why you're here, did you know that in around 50% of all universes, you become Batman?" "How do you know that? Also, why are we orbiting Venus?" Tim asks, walking closer to the fountain. Donna produces a golden orb that levitates over hand. "Using the Harbinger's History Orb." "I thought that only had the history of the Universe?" Tim asks. "The Harbinger traveled the Multiverse with the Monitor. She recorded much more than a history of our universe." "Then why do you need me?" Donna smiles. "You're the detective. I'm sure you can figure it out." Donna Troy is the sister of Wonder Woman. In addition to being trained by the Amazons in combat, she has super strength, speed, reflexes, and durability and possesses flight. She is equipped with Bracelets that can deflect ranged projectiles and her Lasso of Persuasion. Donna also possesses the memories of every Donna Troy from the multiverse and the Harbinger's History Orb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 END OF ROUND TWO: "I don't like this." "I don't blame you." "I don't know anything about magic and Zatanna vouches for you. That's the only reason you're here." "I'm touched." "No smoking in the Watchtower."

Missy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Superman and John Constantine on the same team? And the Hawkman / Constantine arguments would be priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 "Donna, if I help you with this, there's one person I want in," Tim Drake says. They walk through the hallways of New Kronos. Passageways that leads to rooms that can't exist in nature, at least one or two sets of Escher stairs. Finally, they arrive at what Tim thinks is the control room. A hologram of Earth floats in the center of the room. "Of course Tim. In every universe you become Batman, he becomes Superman," Donna says, touching buttons. The hologram zooms into North America. Tim sees the loaded question. "What about the ones where I don't?" "He either doesn't exist or he ends up taking up after his other father." The Hologram zooms in on Smallville, Kansas. A young man in a Black T-Shirt is standing in the room, at first confused then seeing his best friend. "Tim, why am I here? There was a giant mole attacking the farm. I just put it down and then..." Donna puts a hand up, "It's me. Connor, we'd like your help with a problem." Superboy is the genetic clone of Superman and Lex Luthor. He possesses many of the same powers as any Kryptonian while under a yellow sun. In addition, Connor has tactile telekinesis, making up for many of the deficiencies he might have in his powerset from the original Superman. If he has inherited any of Lex Luthor's intellect, shiny head, or pastry larceny skills is yet to be seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Sorry? I love the character of Connor Kent. The only reason he wasn't my first seed was because I knew Tim would probably go first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 You know, since Dan wanted Fate and James wanted Constantine, you could always switch. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dread Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 A siren screams through the streets of Gotham disturbing nothing. It's cold, so the people on the street have their collars upturned and their shoulders shrugged as they make their way to someplace warm. Most of them, anyway. In the oppressive cold, it is easy to tell who it is who is willing to cause trouble, and the first ones you look at are those standing around on the street. "I could make her do it." "Shut up." "I liked you better when you were in France." "You weren't there." "Exactly." "Will you shut up and take this envelope?" The only noise she makes is a flap in the wind as the kevlar cape cuts through the cold night air. She delivers a kick so fast and brutal that it would incapacitate any man with whom it connected. In fact, you might say the only man who could dodge such a kick would be the fastest man on earth. And he is. "Flash?!" Batgirl whisper-shouted as he side-stepped her kick and grabbed her wrist. "Hello, Cassandra. This is - " "Maxwell Lord. I know of him. Why are you with him and speaking my name in his presence?" "Nice to meet you too." "Shut up, Max. Cassandra, we have some unfinished business that I only heard about this evening. Business that you should probably not tell Batman about." "No deaths." Wally paused. "I can't say that for sure. I want it to be true. If this is what I think it is, Cassandra, it's bad. Really bad." "You've got me, then." "Thank you. But I don't want Batgirl. I want Kasumi."

Stavros Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Was one of my top female picks, but I was obviously going to go with the old school mute Batgirl version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I was gonna have Babs recruit her. She'd be more Black Bat, than old school mute, and it would've been awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 The mute version was the best! It's too bad they killed that idea so quickly. Being trained to use the language center of your brain to "read" people was a brilliant concept! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom BITD Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Donna Troy was originally on my list, taking the position that I ultimately gave to Barbara... And the choice of Cassandra Cain is pretty damn interesting given my next pick....heh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It's been 12 hours since Des's pick. Koete, go ahead and go. James, it's your show when you should choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
