A warning Omen...

While in a meeting with Tony Stark about Sky, Jason Todd calls... After he finishes telling Stark he is back in SHIELD, he asks to speak to me and tells me that Justice was attacked...
I rushed to return to Justice....

After seeing that she was okay she tells me of the Sayian tradition that Vella had reminded her of. I could see as she spoke, she was afraid that Mirai would kill me. I tell her not to worry and we go to sleep...

[Galen gets up in the mourning and prepares breakfast for Justice and himself. A shadow is cast over the plate... "My father wants to speak with you," The voice of one Cabain bellows, "You are to fight Mirai for Justice."

"You can return to King Vegeta and tell him I will not." Galen states, "I will not hurt Justice and if we fight that is exactly what will happen."

Cabain walks closer, "You will or Justice will be executed as will you..." Cabain then explains Sayian Law...

Galen sits troubled seeing no solution... Justice had mention this Law when telling him of the tradition...

"It would seem I have no choice but I will agree on one condition. Justice is under no circumstance to be involved or to know... Not now not ever! If I die, she is never to know how.. Shiara will tell her I died while in my Universe." Galen voice becomes emotionless...

Cabain contacts the King and tells him.. It is agreed...

Galen appears before King Vegeta and Mirai with Cabain... King vegeta orders that the fight begins....

Miria attacks Galen and Galen uses a shield to defend himself but doesn't fight back...

"Fight me you coward!" Mirai yells...

Galen shakes his head as he is being beaten, "No it will hurt Justice if I did anything that would harm or worse kill you!"

Mirai shows Galen no mercy, in a blind rage he continues to beat on Galen... Sending Galen into walls with powerful blasts. The organelles in Galen's body work overtime to repair what it can but the injuries are too many...

Mirai draws a sword, one that is not Stormcutter and pierces Galen in the shoulder...

No matter how much it hurts or how much he has been beaten, Galen doesn't stay down. He continues to rise and face Mirai and takes more of what this half Sayian is dishing out..

Finally Mirai draws his sword again and intends to drive a fatal blow into Galen..

As he thrusts the sword, Mirai's eyes widen. Galen screams "NOOOO" Miria sees Justice between Galen and his sword he goes to pull it from her and she grabs it and says, "no finish what you have started Sayian warrior... "

Justice uses her hands to pull her self further on the blade of Mirai's sword. Blood splatters more on his face and body and behind on Galen's who has fallen to his knees.

Justice speaks with pain as tears of blood trickle down her face, "I never stopped loving you, how could I, you are my daddy.. Even when you yelled, even when you called me a whore and said you didnt care if I live or die..."

Mirai goes to let go of the sword and she grabs his hand pulling the sword deeper into her as the blood spills over his hands and the hilt is pressed hard against her stomach.

Justice continues, "I love you even though you no longer love me..."

She lets go of his hands and he pulls the sword causing blood to splatter more as she falls in Galen's hands Mirai stares at his own red covered hands

Galen falls over her lifeless body...

Vegeta commands Cabain to give them a seed but it doesnt work..

Galen and Justice die....

Mirai wakes from a cold sweat and looks at Stormcutter which is glowing at him.... Elsewhere.....]
I woke from what seemed like a nightmare only to see a sword glowing at the foot of my bed which then disappears...

I know now that if I stay with Justice I will be the cause of her death at the hands of her father...
The sword of Mirai is trying to warn us both...

I kiss her gently and then get dress... I approach the door of Jason where I know Vella is staying as well... I knock softly...

She opens the door, "If I stay, Justice will be hurt by her father. I can't allow that. Please tell her I will return when her father is ready to accept us... Here is a candle, if you need me, if something happens... you or Jason can light it and I will come.."

I then return to my Universe...
[not long after Galen leaves a new menace enters the picture...]

The Capulets and the Montagues

Cont from here, here , here and here
After my trial I went to the Crime Alley Bar and had several drinks. It wasn't until Justice showed up I realized I had mis-placed my oxy pills.


Justice had one of her growth spurts when I while I was away. Now before me was a beautiful woman of 18.

She was so stunning she was drawing attention from every bloke in the place...

She and I talked as I have always found it is easy to listen to her, something in her voice is soothing but it is just as easy to talk to her...

The last thing I remember was getting in her new car and then stirring a wake.. I heard a voice but hadn't quite made it out yet but the first sensation I felt was the warmth of a body lying next to me.

It brought back memories of when Isabel had laid next to me...

I rolled over and with a glowed Justice smiled, "Good Mourning.. Vella I need to go."

She set the phone down.


She told me nothing had happened that I had passed out...

When she had whispered in my ear I felt my heart flutter the way it had once did ... I caressed her hair and called up a magical spell that would please her.

I pulled her to me kissing her and feeling her warm body pressed up against me... I slide her under me as I positioned myself above her -- kissing and caressing her ... As I kissed down her neck she gave a giggle and I could feel my heart do flips...

The next thing I knew I was staring in the face of an angry father.

“If you try a spell Stormcutter is going strike you down you old pervert! How long have you been planning this? Eh? Did you touch her before? Give me one reason why I shouldn't send you to whatever after life you believe in." He spat...

I wasn't about to do anything that could lethally kill Justice's father right in front of her so I made my retreat...

I used my techomancy and disappeared.

I sat on my ship with my head in my hands... What had I done?

I remember that young Boy and something he said about my future..


So I went to look for him, I first went to HS who was at the lake with Shiara... "HS do you know where I might find.. What was his name... Thadeus ."

"Inertia? No not really.." HS said scratching his head. Shiara then smiled, "Ask Vincent or Cass."

Finding the one they call Batgirl and her boyfriend Vincent, Justice's uncle I posed my question...
Cass was studying me... So I used my skills as a Technomage to prevent her from reading my body language.

"Maybe you should ask where Justice is!" Vincent snapped bitterly and Cass took his hand...

My eyes widen, "Why? what has happened.."

She turned to Vincent, "Now ... I .. can .... read him... but.. only his feelings for her... It's..true love.."

She pulled him closer to her and I shifted uncomfortably... "Please what has happened to Justice?"

"She moved out and Mirai disowned her. Last I heard he cut her off without a penny and she was living in a slum..." Vincent stated...

I left with Haste... I found it unbelievable they would allow this. If the Corru found Justice...

My concerns became worse when I found the apartment in Gotham.

I couldn't believe this was where she had ended up... This was no place for any human let alone ..her.

I got to the apartment and it was empty... No one knew where she was and I felt this panic.
Then a man who was addicted to a terrible 20th century drug said he saw a man flying in a red and gold tin can...

I used my techomancy to rid him of the drug and to expel his addiction to it.. "Thank you.. Now take this token and show it to the church in the center. They will help you."

I then flew to Shield's command office.. Tony Stark walked in looking frustrated, "Just the man I wanted to see."


He blinked as I emerged from the shadows and continued to speak, "Where is she?"


"She?" he blinked again... "You're the strange cloak man that gave Fury the info on Sky, right? um Galen."

I spoke pronouncing each word sharply, "Where! is! She! A man addicted to a solid, smokable form of benzoylmethyl ecgonine said he saw you."

He raised an eyebrow, "A crackhead said... Aw ... Bald and Viagra I get it.."

"Excuse me?" I was becoming enraged, "I will ask you one last time, Where is Justice!"

he smiled oddly and stated, "Don't get your cloak in a bunch. She is safe Iarranged for her to stay at the Gotham Heights Apartment Suites. It is cleaner and safer.."

As soon as he said the names I used my magic to see if she was there while he continued to speak, " it wasnt to nice of a place for .."

She was there, I sighed with relief... "for a princess no.. She belongs somewhere nice beautiful and safe where she can be happy... you have my thanks.. How much do I owe you?"

he cocked his head to the side... began to speak and then seem to choose against it..

"How long can she stay there? I can pay the expenses I just need for her to be somewhere safe and... guarded, " I gestured at a bunch of SHIELD agents out on the field, "only while I find Mr Thadeus."

He cocked his head again and smiled, "sounds like you are asking me for a favor."

I pressed my lips tightly together and then turned away, "I would sell my soul to the devil for her... "

"Yes I believe you would but be careful Mr D may hear you and from what I hear he is running around again.."

I turned sharply to him,"As you know she a target.."

"the Corru... but this doesn't explain why you have to see Inertia.." He offered me a cigar and I declined...

"Personal reasons... " I sighed, "He told me something once and I need to know more of what he thinks he knows since bits and bobbins are unraveling now in the present."


I turned away, "but first I will go see Justice."

"How old are you?" he asks

I turn back saying, "32"

"want some advice, Stay clear of Agent Briefs." He says just before vanishing in the shadows..

Two Batmen

I returned from Galen's trial to my Universe. Now To try and remember what was supposed to happen soon, oh yeah grandpa will soon discover that Aunt Spoiler had killed Black Mask again.

Okay, you know I've always had a theory that would at least get the bat family off her back. Not that I care about Black Mask all that much. I mean he tortured aunt Steph while making her go into sexual positions.

If anyone deserved to die a second time, it would have been that bastard. Then again I've never understood the bat side of my family's aversion to killing. Some people just need it.

Mom was so angry and disappointed when I crushed the Joker at 13. And Grandpa Bruce shunned me. While Grandpa Vegeta had a good laugh about it. Uncle Jason was mad that he didn't get to do it.


Any way enough reminiscing time to see if my theory is correct. You see I've never thought Question's idea was correct that the Dragonballs bring back an evil person with a good person. I fly over to the Gotham Morgue , and find the body of Black Mask. Heh. They thought someone dug up his body, and shot him in the fore head. The autopsy said he was dead for at least a year and was rotting, a zombie. Well well you can't kill what's already dead. But something surprised me and made a cold shiver go down my spine.

It said among the things he was wearing was a black ring. Oh Hell, I was expecting a zombie but not... Wait I just need to find the ring first. I hack the computer and find the evidence locker. My fears are founded when I see the ring.

A Black Lantern Ring. If Mask didn't think small and only wanted to be a crime lord, he would have smoked Aunt Steph, and Uncle Jason. The power this thing holds...

I'm about to get to a computer and maybe warn Steph about what's coming when a red and black Batarang shatters the computer. Damn it! It's Bat boy from my time again.

“I told you not to come after me again if Grandpa wants to talk to me he can do it himself." I challenge.

He smiles. “I did bring him."

I feel his ki coming towards me when I look up in the direction of it instead of seeing a broken down old man I see...

Great just great.

Techno Trial: part 3: A witness from the future


Bruce continues after shocking the circle with his statement, "Your order needs Galen and his leadership even if he doesn't want to be leader it was what he was meant..."

I noticed he is studying Herazade. Is he trying to read Herazade's body language.

Then he gives that infamous smirk as if it all has comes clear...

Deliberately he speaks very softly so only those near him can hear, "That is why she hates Galen sooo that is why she fears him..."

Alwyn Federico and I were the ones next to him and looked with a certain puzzlement. he couldn't possibly be able to read a Technomage.



However it would seem he could. I could tell by what he did next that he knew Federico would do anything for me "Time to use a few of those little technomage misleading tricks I learned...", he mummbled

"What are you saying!" Herazade screamed

He whispered to Federico, "I just dont get it. in most trials you are judged by your peers I wonder what the body would have to say about what I am about to say..."

Federico then smiled and granted the subtle request by opening the trial to all technomages.

He then began to speak, "I dont only know the future but I know a bit about your past... My Aunt Justice has told me many things... That your forefathers, the ones that began this order were tricked by the Shadows. When they found out that the tech they had been given had been given by the shadows and was because the shadows expected them to be their elite army when they returned, the tartatude chose to continue to accept the tech and formed the order of the technomages."

He paused for effect as everyone in the room gasped to find he knew our deepest darkest secret.

"not because they were going to follow the shadows but to keep the shadows from giving it to another race that would become that army.. only the circle ever knew the truth and when a leader died or retired and a new mage was chosen he then learned the horrible truth which became your curse.. " He knew quite a lot and suspicious eyes fell upon me...

"you vote for your leaders ... 5 because this is said to be the number of balance. They are called the circle...When the shadows returned you refused to fight for them and that hurt them. Though some of your order wanted to fight them, knowing the shadows could turn the tech against you, the circle at the time choose to take you all in hiding.. to prevent the shadows from turning you into weapons.."

He began moving around in the circle...

"but it wasn't the intentions of those leaders for you to remain in this hiding place. The shadows are gone... You did your part as was your destiny and now it is time for you to evolve into what you were meant to become but one of your 5 leaders had felt and tasted the power of control, power she can best exercise over all of you if you are here confined to this place, not out there guiding the worlds you were meant to guide..." He flashed a look and pointed at Herazade..

"I am not on trial! How dare you!" Herazade roared in anger

It was clear he knew all he needed to do was to reveal to the rest the power hungry tyrant Herazade was and they would vote her out the next election...

She went to throw a fireball at Bruce I put a shield around him but Federico had blasted it. Herazade was restrained by the rest of the circle...

"Herazade is correct this is not about her." Felicia stated, "but sir, if you have something.." her gestured was almost pleading him to say something that would help them vote me not guilty."

"It is about her. You see Galen is the one that chooses to try and evolve. He is the strongest of you.. He is searching to cure the Earth of this universe and strives to prevent shadow tech to be use ... His familiar is the key to your evolution .. So he used the spell of destruction he did it for love.. He loves my Aunt .. they are lovers..."


"Bruce you are mistaking.. " I try to protest...
He laughs ... "No it is true... Aunt Justice only trusted me to your secrets and why,... I never understood... I have been visiting her when you," he turns to the others, "When Galen would come to see her... So I am privy to things that no one else could know. Yes he will deny it but it is because of him I can read your body language. Yes you are skilled with that cloak and dagger stuff, concealing your intent and motives... As a kid mom would get frustrated because she was never sure with Galen, couldn't read his Body language but I picked up one thing and from there learned how to read all technomages.. You see, Galen could never hide his feelings for my Aunt and he still can't."

he looked at me and I shifted uncomftably..."Justice and I are not lovers.. We.."

"Yet.." he interrupted with a smile, "but you will be and you will create sparks that will make most Sayian romeo types look bad." He stated in a teasing manner..

He turned to the room, "Galen is the strongest technomage and he also carried a lot of influence. She fears this and wants him dead... So she is bias and shouldn't be allowed to judge this trial. Galen was once asked to join the circle but turned the offer down. He is the only one that could challenge her position, take away her power and her control over the other technomages."

he turned to me, "The circle knowingly bound your hands and let your last love die ... " he turned this time to the crowd that had gathered there in the chamber, "the one from that old circle is Herazade... that circle made many mistakes... I say this circle is broken but my opinion doesnt matter. What matters to me is that Galen is my uncle .. " He sat up straight...

"There I said it.. It is a secret I have kept, I played off as if he wasn't so not to betray them but I think my Aunt would want you to know.."

At that I stumbled... No marriage?

"Galen is destin to marry my aunt in secret, they will have 3 children, only I know this... Kill Galen and you murder those lives... and you will have to tend with me because he is my family.." He then powers up...

Federico speaks in a loud voice, "NOT GUILTY but you knew my vote.."

All but Herazade give Bruce a thankful nodded...


Once again Herazade goes to use a lightening spell to kill Bruce but he uses his powers to destroy the bolt...

Herazade is grabbed by the four others, they carry her off to be tried later after a replacement for her in the circle is made...


I still protest that I am in love with Justice and Bruce says "I tell you what I will see you later and tell me then if you are not in love with my aunt or at least lovers.."


He grins as if he knows something I do not.. What will I be returning to I wonder that has him in such ...

Well I guess there is only one way to find out...

Techno Trial tie in: trial in another realm

A kid dressed up like Batman jumped me. When he hits me it wakes me out of my drunken stupor. I knocked the kid back. “So who're you Dick's kid? No wait she's a she and has superpowers. Tim's? Are you Damien?"

“I’m Batman. That's all you need to know Cain, that and you can't stay in this time any longer, you being here keeps changing the future. And I personally like to exist."


I smirk. “One question, did Black Zero rule the world?"

He looks all weird. "Who's Black Zero?"

“All I needed to know." I use my speed to appear as if I'm invisible and I appear behind him he ducks my punch and knees me in the gut it actually hurt.

He then shoots these tiny batarang out of these gauntlets on his arm. They cut my flesh, so now we have adamantium in my time? Okay he's faster and stronger than his ki says he should be tech enhancements.

I transform into a supersaiyan and shake the cobwebs out of my head so I can actually read his body language. I dodge a kick, grab him by his throat. And tear the suit making it explode.

So my guess was right his power comes from his suit. If he's really from my time he'd have a... Ah ha. An ID chip in his wrist.

I scan it with a gizmo in my belt. It's a little more advanced than the ones I've seen, Terry McGuiness that name means nothing to me. I take off his mask, well black hair blue eyes, what a shock; I'd almost suspect this kid to be Robin. I guess grandpa finally admitted to himself he’s too old to protect Gotham.

So why did he entrust this kid, and not my sister? That's when I catch his scent. He’s Grandpa's kid. Don't tell me he's using the blue pills. "Hahahahahaha!"

I let the kid go. He glares. “What are you laughing at?"

“Does Damien know?"

“Who?"

“Oh I forgot he calls himself IBN Al.... something now. You'll have to forgive me; I was raised by a mother who can barely talk so strange foreign words trip me up. But he'd be pissed at you; he thinks he's the only one who should be Batman." I grin. “Go back to your time "Uncle" Terry. Tell Grandpa if he wants me back to get his wrinkled broken down self in a time machine and face me like a man."

I fly off leaving the kid, then a message Capsule appears before me. It was from my uncle HS; apparently Galen was being put up on trial by the techno mage council.

Hm. Well I hope I recorded Galen's Universe number right. never mind that I'll just get it to key into Galen’s Universal signal, and take me to him, Good work on this device grandma . I press a button on my belt and a portal opens up I walk through, and find myself in the lair of the Techno mages.

“Stop this sham of a trial!" I order busting in.

“Who dares?" One of the mages challenges.

“Bruce Cain." I answer.

"Time traveler." This female One who has a bit of an attitude problem, and coming from me that's saying something. Wizards, they always seem to know about you. This other one sneaked up on me and was about to use some magic, I countered with the Dragon Flame.

It wasn't enough to kill him but enough to back him off. “I’d like to offer my testimony in this case."

“Fine Mister Briefs." I growl much to the woman's amusement. “State your case.”

"The man who Galen killed was my friend Douglas he was going to kill my Aunt Justice, and alter the timeline to punish me."

“So what you are saying is this is your entire fault." She grins.

“What? No!" I protest.

“If you had not traveled in time your friend would not have followed you, and would not have tried to kill your aunt."

“I was trying to stop Black Zero!" I Sneer.

‘She gives me this weird look. “Fool! You've changed the destiny of your Universe, it was supposed to go one way, until finally it was destroyed, in a few years from your time, but now you've altered history, to such an extent, who knows what will happen? You should have let Black Zero Win then you and your dangerous reality can burn like it was meant to."

Actually I do know what will happen in a thousand years from now my Universe will unite with other planets to be united planets, one that will be protected by a Legion of super powered beings. Though I haven't seen the changes in my time yet. My time travel device is screwed up, and crossing dimensions likely didn't help it.

I have to admit I was pissed at the idea of letting my earth die at Black Zero's hands, my father, my uncles, And my World torn apart by this Superman who just wanted everyone else to suffer, like he did .

My Ki surged around me, but I controlled my self. “Funny thing about time travel. Sometimes you don't go always go straight ahead, or straight back sometimes you accidentally go sideways to other realities."

"What does that have to do with anything Mister Briefs?" The Woman who has a big mad on for Galen demands.

“I once found myself in your reality before; I know the future of the techno mages. This order will become something greater than they are now."

She grins "Because of me."

I smirk. “No Herazade, you've been holding the others back."

The shocked look on her face was worth it.

Techno Trial: part 2: the witch trial

I had returned to the hiding place, where I was being tried for using the Spell of Destruction to save Justice.

In a flash of light I appeared before the circle...





The members of our leadership also known as the circle glared down at me...

There was Rasieh



Herazade who incidentally wanted to see me flayed, guilty or not...




Felicia



Druina







My friend Federico choose to leave and not be a part of this...





"You will watch your tone .. You have been a problem since day one..." Herazade growled at me...


The questioning began... I knew this would bring up memories I would rather forget...


Herazade paced in a circle like a vulture around me...
"Were you not told by the circle never to use the Spell of Destruction and to never tell anyone how to use it?"

I nodded as the image of my beloved Isabel appeared in my mind. It was because I had obeyed that directive from the circle that bound my hands and as a result not only did Isabel die but three bad eggs, evil Technomages were allowed to lived to joined the shadows and caused havoc and killed thousands.

Had I use the spell against them, Elizar would never had used a spell that created the spike that killed my beloved Isabel. He and Razeel would not have aided the shadows, attacked Soom and killed ... killed Fa, the child that looked up to me.

because I obeyed... of course Elric would say I had no way of knowing these events would occur and what would it make me had I not the strength to resist the use of the spell...

Herazade snapped her fingers and I turn my focus back at her, "Then when you were sent with Blaylock did you not go against the circle and use the spell of destruction."

I cut her off, "while saving Blaylock, Alwyn and myself and again later in killing the three rogue technomages that betrayed us... but of course I had permission to use it then."

She glared, "but you didn't have permission to use it again..."

Rasieh sighed, "So why did you use it Galen?"

Just then someone appeared...

"You bunch of selfish self righteous pompous cowards!"
Alwyn .... and Federico was with him So that is what Federico was up to ...


"Alwyn old friend this is not your fight." I say


"like hell it's not! One of the few decent technomages left and this bitch wants.." Alwyn spat

Herazade got in his face, "Watch it Alwyn, you violated the circles command when you did not come to the hiding place.."

"No you bunch of cowards I chose to fight against the Shadows and help those who were fighting.." I saw this was only going to end badly...

So I sent a tech-message to Federico

Techno-message sent to Federico
-----------

Federico ,
Please get him out of here before he causes himself and you trouble. If this is my...

------------
My message was cut off short...
I think I would like to address this flim-flam joke of a trial...

What was he doing here?
