Chapter 19: Assault On Stryker Island (Teen Titans/Shazam)
(The Teen Titans are seen at Stryker Island as the parallel Dick Grayson and the parallel Shazam glare at the inmates Damian Wayne and Cyborg, who simply glare back, implying that they're not happy to see them.)
Damian: What are you looking at?
(Dick remains silent)
Damian: ANSWER ME, BASTARD!!
Cyborg: (sigh) Damian, you fool...
(Then Firestorm and Blue Beetle come in)
Firestorm: Hey, Dick. Come on. The prison is being invaded.
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Coming.
(Then they follow Firestorm and Blue Beetle and they suddenly see Black Adam using his powers to shut down the generators.)
Shazam: Alright, guys. He's mine.
(Then Shazam approaches Black Adam)
Shazam: Hey!
(Black Adam turns around and gets surprised by seeing his archenemy in the flesh.)
Black Adam: Billy Batson? That's impossible!
(Then Shazam tackles Black Adam, and then punches him three times before throwing him down.)
Shazam: Can ghost do what I just did?
(Enraged, Black Adam shoots a lightning blast, but Shazam evades it.)
Shazam: No wonder that young boy... What's his name? Oh, I remember. Kevin defeated you!
Black Adam: This time, you will die definitely!
(Enraged by the fact he was seeing Shazam, he tried to attack him with all rage. But the rage was so much that Shazam apparently had no troubles dealing with his archenemy. Then he decides to uppercut him into the stratosphere and pummel him with a series of blows. Then he elbows him in the back, grabs his leg, spins him, and throws him back to the ground.)
Shazam: I wanted to see Superman's surprised face.
Firestorm: Let's go and see his reaction.
(But then Damian Wayne comes in wearing his own Nightwing uniform.)
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): To think you are back to life, Billy Batson! If there is one thing I hate about being a hero is to simply have to defend the weak!
Shazam: You're really sounding like your grandpa!
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Can you blame him? He was basically trained to be a killing machine. And this is what he is, nothing more!
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): You hurt my feelings, Dick!
Shazam: Like you had one!
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): I'll handle him!
(Blue Beetle tries to shoot him down, but Damian evades, leaving himself wide open to Dick Grayson, who kicks him in the gut. Then Damian wipes out the blood in his mouth, and gets completely furious.)
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): I tried to be nice, Dick. I really did! But now... THIS MEANS WAR!!
(Both Nightwings fight. Dick knows that Damian is completely brutal with his attacks. Then he decides to counter by hitting him with his escrima staff. Then he jumps onto his motorcycle and repeatedly slashes Damian with electrified blades on his gauntlet. Then he jumps off the motorcycle to slam his electrified staff into Damian's chest, knocking him out.)
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): No wonder Batman considers ME as a son, not you!
(Meanwhile close to Superman's cell, Cyborg is seen knocking Starfire out.)
Cyborg: Forgive me, Kori. But Superman is needed.
(Then he works at the computer to try to release Superman.)
Cyborg: Wonder Woman's outside, keeping what's left of the guards busy.
Superman: If it wasn't her, who let you out?!
Supergirl: I did.
(Clark gasps as he sees Supergirl flying up to the dome.)
Superman: Kara?!
(As the cousins stare at each other, the Titans and Shazam sneak up to just before the cell room.)
Shazam: Great, another kryptonian.
Supergirl: You recognize me, Kal?
Superman: My parents stored your image on my ship. You're my protector.
Supergirl: Sorry I'm a few decades late. You and I left Krypton at the same time, but the explosion threw my ship off course. WAY off course.
Superman: You haven't aged a day.
Supergirl: Hyper-sleep. While you were growing up, I was on ice.
Superman: I never thought I'd see family again! Someone with my eyes...my own blood... you knew my parents...
Supergirl: They loved you so much, Kal. (Another shockwave shakes the room) Diana needs a hand. Cyborg, how long?
Cyborg: Five minutes and those bastards who betrayed Superman will get what they deserve!
Supergirl: I don't wanna leave you, Kal.
Superman: I'll be right here.
(Then Supergirl goes to help Wonder Woman, getting past the four heroes.)
Blue Beetle: Ella esta sobre tu nivel...
Firestorm: She is NOT out of our league! What happened to your confidence?
Blue Beetle: Kryptonians happened.
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): C'mon... Batman's counting on us.
(Back to Cyborg)
Cyborg: Gotta hand it to Palmer. His people's cryptography is legit. Doesn't mean I won't break it.
Superman: Victor, watch out!
(Dick Grayson throws some birdarangs at Cyborg, who shields himself. But then Shazam tackles him.)
Shazam: Still mad at me, Victor?
(Shazam punches Cyborg down, while Superman is shocked by seeing Dick Grayson and Shazam and slightly angry.)
Shazam: Dick, The red sun generators! Reactivate it before Superman powers up!
Cyborg: I won't let you do this!
(Cyborg tries to shoot Dick Grayson, but Shazam takes the hit for him. Then Firestorm decides to face Cyborg.)
Firestorm: I was a fan when you were QB for the Ford Titans. You had a cannon arm, even then. Never thought I'd be your prison guard.
Cyborg: QB? That was a LONG time ago. And I'm not your prisoner anymore!
(Both smart, both using science...sounds like an even match. Cyborg has experience, though. Even Firestorm recognizes that and alters his attack pattern. By a hair, Firestorm manages to shut Cyborg down.)
Firestorm: Nobody's cheering for you now.
(Dick Grayson reboots the generators; the red sunlight bathes Superman again.)
Superman: Brainiac's too much for Batman and Jaune! I'M your only chance!
(Shazam approaches Superman and both look at each other angrily.)
Shazam: Here's the thing, Superman. Batman ASKED us for help. He didn't draft us, make us sign a loyalty oath or threaten us with jail! He didn't even have the urge to kill my counterpart, who was just a kid!
(Dick Grayson sees Supergirl and shoots a kryptonite birdarang at Supergirl. Then Wonder Woman comes in and gets completely angry by seeing Dick Grayson and Shazam.)
Wonder Woman: You...
(Shazam tackles Wonder Woman, and then he punches her stomach, uppercuts her, grabs her leg, slams her down and breaks her back with a knee strike. Superman watches in despair,)
Superman: DIANAAAAAAAAA!!
(Noticing her cousin's despair, Supergirl tries to punch Shazam, but no avail. Then he grabs her hand and breaks it violently.)
Shazam: Kryptonians were never good against magic! (punches Supergirl) And magic is all I'm about!
(Then Supergirl uses her heat vision, but Shazam blocks it with his bare hands. But as he prepares to finish Supergirl, she unexpectadly uppercuts him.)
Supergirl: You harmed Kal... BAD ENOUGH!!
(Then Starfire wakes up and sees Wonder Woman trying to get up. Then she tackles her. Blue Beetle decides to face Supergirl.)
Supergirl: We NEED Kal's help, kid! You have NO idea what Brainiac can do!
Blue Beetle: No...but I know what SUPERMAN can do!
(Both are young and impetuous and have crazy alien powers. The Kryptonian shower Supergirl took puts her power on par with Blue Beetle. But Beetle has more heart and commitment than Supergirl has. It's close, but Supergirl is brought low.)
Blue Beetle: Guess YOU belong here, too.
Firestorm: What did I tell ya? We got game!
(Then Starfire returns and notices Nightwing. Then they approach each other.)
Starfire: Dick? Is that you?
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Hi, Kori.
(Starfire hugs him)
Starfire: You don't know how much I missed you... the other you...
(Unfortunately, their moment is interrupted as Supergirl gets up and Wonder Woman returns with Black Adam and Nightwing.)
Wonder Woman: You fought valiantly...but this battle's over!
Firestorm: (blinks at his inner dialogue) You want me to do WHAT?! Uh, Professor, that's CRAZY! MAYBE we can control it, but... (more inner dialogue) You're right...no other option! (to the four heroes) Get outta here, guys!
(Everyone watches as Firestorm claps his hands together and produces a MASSIVE nuclear fireball.)
Shazam: What's this? Have you gone nuts?
Starfire: You're gonna nuke us all!
Firestorm: It's the only way! Now, go! (to Wonder Woman and company) Leave, ALL of you! Or you'll get a helluva lot worse than a sunburn!
Wonder Woman: You'd blow up Metropolis rather than let Superman go?!
Shazam: At least he will save the world from him!
(Enraged by Shazam's response, Wonder Woman tries to attack, only to be stopped by Super Soldier, who defends Shazam.)
Wonder Woman: What?
Super Soldier: I didn't want to see you again either!
(Super Soldier uses his heat vision on Wonder Woman, knocking her off. Then Batman and the Shinkengers come in.)
Shinken Red: Firestorm, stand down!!
(Firestorm does so as the heroes land.)
Shinken Yellow: Who are you?
Super Soldier: My name is Steve Kent Rogers, son of Superman and Captain America.
Cyborg: Wait, Superman has a son?
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): SHUT UP, TIN MAN!
Supergirl: And I'm Kara Zor-El, Superman's overprotective cousin.
Winter Soldier: (comes in along with Black Widow) We all have secrets, Cynthia. Since people got afraid of...
Black Widow: Not now, Bucky.
(Batman goes over to the cell computer and punches a few things in.)
Wonder Woman: NONE of you can beat Brainiac!
Shinken Red: You're right... none of us can...
(Batman puts his handprint on the computer screen. The red sun lamps turn off and the cell opens. Superman clenches his fist as he starts to get his power back.)
Shazam: What the...
Superman: (going face-to-face with Batman) You ready to stop Brainiac by any means necessary?
Batman: By the means at hand?
Shinken Red: What now, father-in-law? You're always three steps ahead.
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): Wait, father-in-law?
Nightwing (Dick Grayson): Jaune and Virginia got married.
Nightwing (Damian Wayne): (angrily) I deserve...
Batman: Saving the world is enough for now!
Superman: I am NEVER going back in that cell.
Shinken Red: We'll cross that bridge later. Right now, the world needs us!
(Superman looks at his compadres...and his cousin. They may not trust Batman and Jaune... not completely... but they agree that saving the world from Brainiac is priority one.)
