The Twins

Chapter Eight

The team waited a few moments after the Justice League left before they decided to sneak their way out of the mountain.

But that was proving more difficult than it should've.

Dick was struggling to hack through the new and improved security system that Batman had uploaded, making Zatanna roll her eyes and aim her hand at the holographic computer. "Edirrevo metsys!"

The computer started rapidly blinking before a loud, mechanical groan sounded throughout the mountain. The team and the twins made their way to the exit of the mountain, running outside as soon as the heavy metal door opened.

They almost immediately regretted that decision.

On the beach in the middle of a battle were the Justice League, fighting more of the parademons. The rest of the League had shown up and were engaged in the battle, no one having noticed the teens standing at the edge of the battlefield with horrified expressions.

Tommy turned to Billy, about to scoop his brother up and run back into the mountain with him when he saw the expression on his brother's face. He was staring straight ahead at something. No, someone, a group of someone's.

Tommy followed Billy's gaze and felt the blood drain from his face. "Uh, guys? The Avengers are here..."

The team froze, looking over at the other team of superheroes, eyes wide when they saw the hypnotized Avengers making their way towards the Justice League.

"What do we do? Do we fight the parademons or do we keep the Avengers away from the Justice League?" Wally asked, hoping he hid the tremble in his voice.

"Do you really think we can take on the freaking Avengers?!" Artemis snapped, firing an arrow at a parademon that came a little to close for comfort.

"They probably aren't at their best, being brainwashed and all." Zatanna pointed out, dodging the falling debris casually. "And it looks like the League hasn't noticed them approaching."

"So, Avengers it is." Kaldur fired up his water whips. "M'gann, add Billy and Tommy to the mind link so we can keep track of them on the field."

"What the hell is a mind link?"

"It is how we can communicate, telepathically." Dick shrugged.

Added to the group chat.

Wow, this is so freaky!

...you're telling me. I can talk and not destroy the world!

Oh, my god. Billy?!

Yes?

Your voice...it sounds so different than I expected.

Thanks?

Anyways, let's go yeet some Avengers back into space!

Did...did you just say yeet?

So what if I did?

I am sacrificing myself to Darkseid, I don't want to be on the team anymore.

Shut up, Conner. You are the worst with slang.

Guys?! Focus?!

Right, right. Giant demons from space and brainwashed Avengers...

Billy, can't you just warp reality and make this all go away?

I could...but the effects are unpredictable. I could end up erasing the Avengers from existence by accident if I don't word it correctly or I could set us in an unbreakable time loop or-
