CrackFic: Two Choices
Title: Two Choices
Author: kkglinka
Rating: G
Characters: Terry McGinnis, Carrie Kelly
Warning/Summary: Bad cracktastic Batman Beyon/Dark Knight Strikes Again crossover.
Terry McGinnis was gliding over WayneTech Tower when the Crisis hit. Wham! Bam! Kalamazoo! There was a bright white light, but no tunnel, and he crashed on a nearby rooftop.
He stood, thankful for the energy absorbing qualities of his suit, looked around, looked around again, then ran an optical diagnostic on his cowl. The Tower had been replaced by something that resembled a termite mound crossed with a scrap metal yard. The horizon had lost its omnipresent neon glow of a bustling city. It was dim, dirty, buildings barely visible.
He activated his communication signal, but received nothing but static. "Bruce? Can you hear me?"
"Good luck with the whole talking to the dead thing, dipweed."
Terry whirled around, because it generally wasn't common for other people to be on rooftops, or for them to know Bruce Wayne. Whatever had happened just now, the weapons systems of his suit worked fine. He prepped the shuriken.
"Oh wow, you really are dressed like him," continued a young woman dressed like... a snow leopard? She carried on, as if oblivious to his threat, "because that is totally not cool, yo."
Terry sighed. It was another costumed freak out to take down Batman. All this must be some holographic scheme meant to keep him off balance, get him distracted by impossibilities. "Know what? I don't care what you super duper plan for world domination is - this is my town."
She blinked at him. "Shield up, ETA 3 clicks, Bats execute formation Sigma-T."
About the same time Terry fired a five shuriken on auto, which bounced harmlessly off an invisible energy field protecting the cat-woman-girl-thing, his optical scanners registered at least two dozen individuals closing in across the rooftops.
A small bouncy person kicked him in the head while his attention wavered. "This is my town, asshole."
He narrowly dodged somethings that zinged ferociously through the air, the augmentation in his suit keeping him at speed. Unfortunately, it appeared the young woman's costume was similarly equipped.
They fell off the roof trying to beat the snot out of each other.
"How do you know Bruce?" Kick.
"I asked first!" Punch.
"Yeah, well, I live here!" Grapple.
"Oh yeah?" Throttle. "I live in the Cave."
"Wouldn't the Mansion be better?"
"Blown up."
They both noticed the ground, about the same time Terry decided it wasn't a hologram.
"We only have two choices."
"Obviously."
