Can I just say, you always leave awesome comments of awesome? Seriously. Thank you for reading, and for taking the time to write the epic review. Really, thanks. Especially with a work that's long, it's always nice to hear what people think!

So, some answers for you:
Yes, Bruce will be punching Crazy Steve at an upcoming point, I promise!

I was very worried about the italics; I was afraid it would be off-putting, and not clear that it was another dimension intruding, so I'm so glad to hear you liked it and were able to follow it well! This whole thing is kind of an experimental style for me.

And, okay, so here's the deal. I was trying to pull from just the AllStar universe, is which Superman contracts...well, I'm not entirely sure, some form of cancer, or kryptonite poisoning, or something. Crazy Steve actually has nothing to do with it at all. Also, Black Canary is pursuing Batman, and although they have a...fling, I guess you'd call it, he doesn't really care about her, like, at all. If you've seen the new Brave and the Bold series, it's that kind of dynamic.

The problem with my plan is that there isn't really enough to go on. We never see the Arrows, or the Flashes, or anyone besides Batman and Superman, really, so I ended up pulling from regular DC canon, too. Hence, Roy's addiction, and Kaldur and Artemis's little vanishing acts. Thus, Superboy == Superboy, but you can't have Superboy without Tim and Bart. So it's a bit odd, but Batman, Supes, and the AllStar cast are drawing from their AllStar canon, and everyone else is drawing from regular canon. It's not just two set worlds; it's everyone's personal world is being drawn to them. Er, does that make any sense?

A note on Wally; he's very confused, but he's an incredibly strong character, at heart. Take that, and tear it three ways. If we're using AllStar and Wally grew up with AS!Robin, and therefore, Crazy Steve, one would imagine that one would learn not to cry very quickly. Crying only gets you dead rats for dinner. Mix that with regular continuity, and YJ, in which Wally's a cheerful guy with maybe a little too much bravado, and we get what I hope in an interesting amalgam that's true to the character, but just the little bit off that it needs to be. Also, it's a plot point, kinda, so there'll be more discussed in-story.

Also, about Dick. See, that's the thing, is Bruce knows Robin wouldn't leave him there, even if he needed to. And--well, but that would be telling. >:3

Thanks for reading!

"It's not just two set worlds; it's everyone's personal world is being drawn to them. Er, does that make any sense?"
So, the way I'm processing this now is that when M'gann spun that one world off course, it spun off and touched on other worlds at random, so that each person's timeline is affected by one primary bleed, and several secondary bleeds. Close? (Either way, it won't affect my enjoyment of the story!)

All Stars Superman:
I should probably have gotten that with the reference to the serum he gave to Lois. XD But it was actually solar saturation that he 'contracted' after he pulled a spacecraft out of a solar flare. His powers grew exponentially and he felt amazing...right up until a scientist told him the excess power was going to eat him alive. (There was a direct-to-DVD made of this comic; it was Dwayne McDuffie's last project, and well-done, like everything that man touched. RIP)

Black Canary:
I LOVE The Brave and the Bold series, though I think the Batman in there cares about Dinah a lot--but only as a sister. Crazy Steve cares about no one (I cannot wait for Bruce to break his face).

Wally:
<3 Wally. That is all.

Dick:
HOW IS THIS COMMENT A CLIFF-HANGER? =P I'm actually worried about BOTH Robins, since YJ!Robin will obviously want to get Bruce out, and would only hesitate knowing that Bruce wouldn't approve, and AS!Robin might not want to let Crazy Steve out, except he knows CS might get himself out eventually and go on a warpath. More so than usual. (I forgot to mention in the last review how bad*ss it is that Bruce not only recognized himself as the center of the flux problem, but used the flux to take his counterpart out of the game. For the moment. ARRGH, how will this be resolved in five more parts?? ::quivers::)
