Stuck in my own past

I am called Black Zero. In the future I was ruler of the world , after I defeated all the heroes. My one real weakness was turned into iron. But I made a mistake, I let Cassandra Cain live.

She trained her children, and they came after me. Their saiyan heritage gave them the power to defeat me, along with her skills. I played a gamble, I used a time machine I confiscated from their uncle.

Here in my past. I joined a cabal of "super villains. " Who wanted to strike back at their enemies. I fooled them into believing I want to kill Kon-El Kind of head to do since I am Kon-El.



My plans were going pretty well, until I heard that David Cain was joined recently by purple haired kid in his late mid 20's. I had some of my agents take a look into this, and hey came back with this picture. Bruce Briefs. Or as he likes to call himself "one who is all."

If he's here with working with his grandfather. His older sister the Batwoman may be here as well. Damn it! Just because I killed their father, aunts, uncles, grandfather, And all the other saiyans, they just has to hold a grudge.

I need back up. My younger self. If I know that trusting idiot he's at Titan's Tower. I find after smashing through the all the security i had to fight my former Friends. I find him asleep in my old room. Looked like he just got out of red Kryptonite poisoning.

It's funny Wonder girl fought me tooth and nail. Knowing how she betrays me later. Too bad Robin wasn't there. I would have loved to beat on him one more time for old times sake.

He awakes in my lair looks at me shakes his head. " Great. It's old home week. First Scavenger, now Black Zero. "

" I'm not the same Black Zero you met last time. I'm you.."

" From an alternate universe I know I know. What're these chains? I can't break 'em."

" Adamantium, and I'm you from the future."

He rolls his eyes. "another evil me from the future, is Tim somewhere around As Evil Batman? Bart as Evil Flash?"


" No. I killed them both."

He goes for my throat. " Liar! I'd never kill my best friends!"

Well Bart defended Tim, I had to do it." I shake my head. I hated doing that. " But as for Tim. Well see four months into the future. I turn on a screen After this he'll understand, and he'll join me.



Instead of being angry he laughs. " Man what is that? Alien matin' ritual."

" What ?" That was Tim And Cassandra betraying us!"

He keeps laughing. " What were they in some horrible disfigurin' accident? Oh Wait I get it. Your from the uglyverse! That'd explain the hair. "

Was I really this stupid? " You don't get it..."


" No! You don't get it!" he snaps. " Me and Robin already went through this crap ya got it? He's not interested in Cassandra in that way! Even if he was I wouldn't turn into to some bad guy. I'd just quit the titans and go on by myself, or join another team. So you no what ever ya want I ain't playin.'"

Could it be possible I some how slipped into another Universe? Only one way to find out, Find either Cassandra Cain, Or Vincent Briefs, kill them as teenagers and see if Bruce still exists.


Well that should be easy just go to the house outside West City ,and kill one of them. I flew with there and knocked on the door it was weird seeing a young Stephanie Brown, Poor girl. " Yeah? Who are you?"

" Where are Cassandra or Vincent?" I demand.

" Gee rude much? I don't know ok? "

I use my X-ray vision, good Gwen isn't in there, I scan the planet, and find her, in Gotham with Batman, and Cluemaster? Odd. those two hate each other, but they are sitting and talking like old friends, And Gwen is calling. Arthur Brown "grampa."

Good I won't traumatise Gwen when I do this. I glare down, and Stephanie. " Cassandra would come for you wouldn't she? and Vincent would as well if she made him."

She throws some exploding gimmick at me. I grab her by the arm. She kicks me in the face. knocking off my glasses. " Superman?"

" Nope, close though.."


" Conner! This had better not be some kind of practical joke! How did you get so old?"


" Never mind that."
I fly outside dragging her, and blow up the House with Heat vision Then I use it to carve out a Message " Vincent, Batgirl! If you want to see Spoiler alive again, meet me at this place!" I left some coordinates for the meeting. Soon. I'll either rid the world of my enemies and can go back into the future, or discover I'm In another reality, then it doesn't matter what I do. Since I won't be destroying my own past.

Siege on Black Plauge

Vincent Valentine, vanished Looks like he was going for whatever he needs to stop the virus. Me I went for the Black Plague myself. The sounds of battle go off in the distance as the kids fight the meta humans and others.

I find him with some of his closest gangsters. The guy called Ash. A man with a gun for a nose and some other weirdos on the roof of his mansion running towards a helicopter. I throw some smoke bombs and knock the out the mobsters underneath the cover of smoke .

" What's going on! Ash? Bulletbrain?"

" None of the above. "

" Then who?" He asks.

" That is the Question." I respond. As I leap out of the smoke.

He throws a punch that catches me in the jaw so much for surprise. " Ah. So it is you. " He laughs. " The crackpot superhero. So you are the one who lead those children out there to their deaths."


" Last I saw those "children" were kicking the butts of your men. " I shoot back. "And you! Your a parasite that feeds off this city, But I've gathered enough evidence to put you away forever!"


Again he mocks me. " Please you know I have half the officials in this city paid off. "

I actually thought of that. " I have run each and everyone of your cronies out of town, when you go to trial, it will be a fair one!"

I kick him in the solar plexus. he returns a shot to my chin. He's tough and doesn't has a high pain threshold. I turn because I sense something behind me.

" That's Baroque the embodiment of fear!" Plague announces.

I shrug. " I know we've met before. " I take his moment of surprise to land several quick jabs and an uppercut. I have to buy Wildcat a beer for teaching me how to box one day, him and Richard Dragon for the martial arts training.

I have him on he ropes so to speak when he blocks a spin kick and tosses me. I land at the edge of the roof. He grabs my neck and starts trying to push me off. I monkey flip over the edge, and grab him before he falls.

" Your not getting away that easily. " I state. That was close we're on a cliff face falling directly into the sea. I start to pull him up, when he screams . " I'm not going to Prison! If i die I'll take you with me Question!" He grabs me and tries to pull us both over the edge.


Somehow in the struggle the container for the gas use to adhere the mask to my face. Is broken, and sprays Plague in the eyes, he falls into the icy ocean below. Damn. I didn't want it to end like this . I wanted to take him to trial.

I Guess though him falling alone is better than the two of us pulling a Sherlock Holmes Moriarty Good Guy/ Bad Guy double death. Then again if I remember right it later turned out both were alive in later books.

Wait a second. That gave me a bad thought . What if plague is still alive, And even if it was for a second the gas did hit my mask, it slipped, what if he's seen my real face?

Can't worry about that now the police are here, and rounding up the Black Plague's men. So I need to make myself scarce , so I can come back , and cover this as Vic Sage.

After all the drama , and interviewing with the kids is over. They ask me where Plague is.

"There was an accident on the roof. " I notice Batgirl trying to read me.

" Is... He dead?"

" I don't know."

" I could tell that her next question would BB if I meant to kill him, but luckily Inertia stopped her mid sentence. " Who cares if the punk is dead? We kicked ass here! I mean so what he's a crime lord so what they are like roaches take one down, another one takes place. Am I right? "


" If that's your attitude Thad, then maybe being a superhero is not the line of work you should be in." Spoiler scolds.

"Hero? " he snorts. " I'm just doing this for the excitement. I ain't got any delusions of heroism okay?"

the two argue for the rest of the night even at the pizza place I take them to celebrate, the fact that all of them are still alive, even the weird Tony Stark doppelganger, who I guess is going to stay around.

Enough of this I need to start investigating the fact that pop music uses mind control.

Black Plauge is playing a dangerous game.

After reading the information I found in that shipment, I alerted all the kids, I Sent all of them to get more information . Then immediately thought better of it, but it was already too late they were all gone.


I slapped my self on my fore head, when I imagined how they would do detective work. I imagine Cass and Vincent bad touching each other on some darkened roof top. Spoiler Cussing out Robin one minute then crying about how she misses him the next. Vella analysing the local ice cream shop. Inertia vibrating into the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders locker room.


So I looked up a cop I know who's been taking kickbacks from Plague. I found him " interviewing" a beautiful female suspect. I drop my card on him. The gas coming from it scares the girl away.

He turns and I punch him in the face. He wakes And finds I've hung upside down on top a a high rise. " Good morning Jimmy. I'm on a tight schedule here, so Why don't you tell me where Plague is holing up these days?

" You!" Jimmy yells. " The guy that's making fun of Plague by being faceless."


" Heh." I couldn't help laughing at that. " I was faceless before it became all popular.So what don't you tell me where to find him I've been waiting to meet him no face to freak face. "

" No way! The Plague will kill me man!" He protests.

" Yes but that will be later, I could kill you now."

He spits at me, it misses looks like it's going to be a bad day for someone down on the street. " I know about you superhero guys! Your just bluffing!"

I shrug. "You know I was kicked out of the JLA. Too much of a crack pot. I know what others won't believe there is a conspiracy that's been going on since the days of ancient Egypt. the Common Man doesn't believe in them that aids in their goals. So you see I was written off as crazy. If anyone finds about me killing you they'll just say 'It's that Crackpot going nuts again.' So You could die right here right now, or you can have a chance to get out of town. What will you do? That is the Question."

He sings like a canary then. He tells me That Black Plague is at his Sea side mansion with a bunch of scientist demons and Meta humans then he told me more stuff I didn't want to know. Like he Played doctor with his cousin as a kid, or that he likes to wear dresses. I release him before I learn more of his sorted past.

" What am I gonna do I'm dead if I stay In West City!" He whines.

" I hear Hub City is a good place for cops on the take." I reply vanishing in a cloud of binary gas. He doesn't see me slip off my mask , or sneak out of into the entrance of the building all he knows I pulled a magic trick.

I hated to do it, but I had to work in my day job as Vic Sage at the News Station. I did a scathing report on Black Plague and police corruption, and I hoped if the virus popped up the kids could do something about it.


I was happy to see the world didn't end in the thirty minutes of my show. A Secretary gave me my messages. " These are form that Helena girl Vic, and this one came from this weird guy who was dressed all in red.

Vincent Valentine. I read his message. It was a detailed description of the forces that Wisenheim is playing with. Also those who may want to benefiting a way that will destroy the planet.

He also gave me a way to contact him because he wanted to come along in the coming battle . Time to go from my day job to my night job.


I I'm Pleasantly surprised to find that that the kids had dug more enough incriminating evidence on Plague to put him a way a looooong time. Nice to know that they listen to me. We meet with Valentine, at The Beach House.

Someone trips an alarm. ( I choose to blame Inertia) And the place is soon crawling with the Black Plague mob coming towards us.


This is where the fun part starts. " Smirks Vincent. We all back up a few steps from the saiyans well except Inertia who looks around confused, And is blown away from the ki as the twins transform. He vibrates through the wall he was about to smash into.

He comes out cursing " Grife! Why couldn't you two have sprocking warned me?!"
I must say I don't understand 31st century cuss words.

" Take out your anger on... them." Batgirl points at the onslaught coming for us . Well this is where we see if all the training I gave these kids pays off or not.

Looks like someone else is interested in Black Plauge.

I 'd like to thank Elektra for all the information. It's been very useful. I now have a good idea of Black Plague's organization. While the kids were doing something else I went to Crime Alley Bar.

You see the info Elektra gave me had a shipment coming in of.. something. I want to see what's in that shipment. So that takes us to why I'm at Crime Alley one of Plague's thugs always comes here to drink and hit on the bar floozies.

He gets somewhat drunk, And thinks it's a good idea to urinate outside. That's when my card drops on his head. He opens it And gas sprays in his face all the inside the card is a "?"

After he freaks out a bit a come out of I release more gas from my containers in my belt to stick my mask to my face , and change the color of my clothes. He turns around. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" I knock him out and drag him throw him in my car, and drive him to The Team's base.

Cassandra Cain spots me on the way to my room. She seems happy now. Good for her especially since the disturbing sounds from the cave kept me up the other night.Yes those two should be a little more quiet.

I tied the thug up and forced him to Watch Mission Impossible 3. After a few minutes of that horrible movie He told me everything So I knock him out again, and leave him in front of some store in the middle of West City.

So when get back I find the Batman ,is visiting Batgirl. I asked him about why The JLA decided to try to get the Great Saiyamoron to take my place as team mentor.

Batman comes up with the time I thought I was an urban shaman. I was on a case for weeks before that, and hadn't gotten much sleep. (Kind of like now. Because of Vincent and Cassandra.) Well I had some strange ideas after sleep deprivation. ( I can here the jokes now. Question thinking odd things how is that different. )


The point I'm trying to get to is I know for a fact that Batman has had many mental lapses over the year. Later at 10:00pm I had all the kiddies around except for that Great Saiya freak.

Cass makes them all spread out. They take out some of the all the guards. I Look inside the boxes. Next thing I know an impossible gun is put into my face Um Faceless .




" Who are you?" he asks.

" That's the Question." I answer.

Spoiler Comes out of her hiding place.And is about to toss some gadget after him. " He's the Question. He does that to everyone. Now do you work for Black Plague Vampire Boy?"

" No he doesn't." I tell her. " Unless I miss my guess He's Called Vincent Valentine an Experiment gave him some powers. Am i right?"


" How do you know that um Question?"

" The company you used to work for has a thread connected to conspiracies I've following for some time now. So Your after something here too? I think maybe we should pool our resources?"

Before he can answer me Inertia Pops up In front of me. " Hey Faceless ya gotta See this. "

I follow him even though I really don't trust this kid. He's only here because he's horny. But when I see the Batgirl, and Vella up ahead I feel a little better.

" You'll never believe what we found in one of those boxes Vincent's disconnecting him from from a cryogenic chamber." Vella chirps excitedly. this kid Runs out of a capsule I see Vincent Briefs doing something to.

My god This kid looks exactly like a seventeen year old Tony Stark!
