Puppet Prologue Part 2
First Part: http://community.livejournal.com/piper_trickster/114818.html
Chapter summary: Trickster's puppets get doused with magic and end up in time lab. Now we have multiplying, time traveling, universe-hopping puppets. ...what? With a dash of Booster misses Beetle.
The Keystone Salvation Army had a chest of hand puppets. Colorful, pretty well-made, hand puppets that would surely brighten some poor child's day. Unfortunately for Keystone, the new Trickster was trying to hold up a bank near the Salvation Army, only to fail and blow up the said building after running from the bank. It was all pure accident that the only thing to survive were the chest full of hand puppets.
Without a base of operations, the Keystone Salvation Army had no where to keep the puppets, so they sent them to as a donation to another foundation, that brought the puppets to the other side of the world. The puppets had surprisingly stayed together in the chest, with no disturbances until a fight broke out in their new locale, in the Middle East.
“How dare you try to talk to me after what you did?” the newly evil Mary Marvel growled as Black Adam watched from the sidelines, smirking at the destruction his new family member was causing.
Witch Boy rolled out of the way of a bolt of magic from Mary, only to crash into the caravan that had the chest of hand puppets. The chest opened, puppets flying everywhere. The sound appearance of these brightly colored toys made Mary pause in her pursuit of Witch Boy.
She picked up the puppet of herself, in her old white outfit and grimaced. “Ugh, I look so cheery,” she muttered as Witch Boy sent a counter spell her way.
Before the spell could hit her, she tossed the puppet of her former self aside to cast a spell, so Witch Boy's spell would not hit her. The spells mixed together with bright colors and sparkling lights everywhere. Both spell casters were blown back by the force of the spells. When they pulled themselves back up, they continued to fight, not noticing that the spell had done something to the puppets, sending them far away from where they were.

Rip Hunter was at his wit's end. He had not known that reuniting Booster Gold with his sister would just make double the trouble. He really should have known; they were twins after all. Before Rip could articulate his frustrations, he was knocked to the ground by a large collection of hand puppets.
Booster and Michelle went to help him out from the pile as Skeets flew overhead, though they did not even bother to hide their snickers. “Where did these come from?” Michelle questioned as she picked up the one of Superman. “These are adorable! It looks like that almost all of the Justice League and Injustice League is in here!”
When the words had tumbled out of her mouth, the puppet pile grew in numbers, making her statement a fact. Booster quietly picked up the Blue Beetle puppet that had appeared on top of the pile. Booster willed his eyes not to tear up, seeing the puppet version of a friend he would never get to see again. Before he could excuse himself to take a few minutes to compose himself, an explosion took out one of the walls. Goldstar and Booster Gold prepared for a fight as the Blue Beetle hand puppet fluttered to the ground with the rest.
As they fought, no one noticed the time rip the enemies had caused that the hand puppets had been sucked into. The hand puppets floated through time, space, and alternate universes.
