When Spider-Man woke up, a puppy was sitting on his chest, licking his mask.
"What the hell was that?" he asked no one... well, maybe he was asking the puppy. "You didn't see what made my Spider-Sense go off like that, did you, Adorable Puppy?" The puppy barked. "Yeah, I didn't think so."
Spider-Man grabbed the puppy and cradled it in his arms as he got up and walked over to the still unconscious Armless Tiger Man. Spider-Man kicked the puppy thief one last time and said, "Puppy-stealing jerk. Never forget who kicked your butt here."
He turned around and yelled out, "Hey, puppies! Follow me! We're going back to the pet store!" Peter would have to work out what actually happened later. For right now, he'd stick to being a hero to puppies everywhere.
"--ICK! Hello?" The Tick asked. "Guess I lost that connection. EGADS!"
The Tick put his phone in his pocket - yes, he had pockets, deal with it - and grabbed the pizza man by the shoulders. "You're back, pizza man! Could it mean?" The Tick looked back into the apartment. "ARTHUR! You're back! Everything's back!"
"What... what was that, Tick?" Arthur asked.
"That was the end of the world as we know it, chum. But I feel fine!" The Tick answered. "But never mind that right now. I need to make a phone call."
As Doom returned to his throne room, he considered recent events. The accursed darkness that had swallowed his world whole was gone. Perhaps it took longer for Doom's device to work than anticipated. Bah, no. Doom's calculations were infallible. If the device had been capable of warding off the darkness, it would have in the allotted time. Or perhaps it was merely the strength of Doom's will that frightened the darkness off. It mattered not. Only one thing mattered.
DOOM HAD STARED INTO THE END OF REALITY AND HAD NOT BLINKED.
The first thing Nadia noticed was that the phone she was holding to her ear was telling her that if she'd like to make a call, she was going to have to hang up and try again.
Which was a nice trick, considering she was holding a cellphone.
Eric and Sydney were both staring at her like she was a crazy person. "Run from what?" Sydney asked.
Nadia blinked, then glanced over her shoulder to see LA looking just like it always had. She looked back and smiled. "My terrible bowling skills?"
She made a mental note to call Jamie back and let him know she was okay. In the meantime, she had a few gutterballs to throw.

Yes. That was exactly how Yakko's world returned. With Bill Clinton references and everything.
