Chapter 45 - end family reunion

Justice League Formation

Six months later, the alternate Earth had transformed.

Heroes from across the globe gathered in a massive assembly hall.

Thomas Wayne, no longer just Batman, stood at the podium.

"Today we establish the Earth Federation Government," he announced.

"A planetary protection act that unites all nations under one banner."

Diana, Arthur, Victor, J'onn as Dr. Fate, and dozens of other heroes took their oath.

"We swear to protect this world from all threats, internal and external."

The situation had stabilized.

Crime rates dropped to historic lows.

International conflicts ceased as the heroes mediated disputes.

Young Bruce Wayne, now eleven years old, trained alongside his parents.

"I want to be a hero too," he told Martha. "Like my big brothers."

Martha smiled, watching Ojaga and adult Bruce sparring in the training room.

"You will be, sweetheart. When you're ready."

The Return Home

Barry 1 materialized in the alternate timeline's Wayne Manor.

Behind him, a portal shimmered with Speed Force energy.

"Time to go home," he announced. "I brought backup."

Through the portal stepped the prime Earth Justice League.

Bruce Wayne in his dark Batman costume.

Clark Kent in his classic Superman suit with red cape.

Diana Prince with her golden lasso.

Arthur Curry carrying his ornate trident.

J'onn J'onzz in his traditional Martian form.

The Wayne Brothers Reunion

The three Bruce Waynes stood in a triangle, studying each other.

Bruce 1 (Ojaga's brother): Enhanced by Shazam magic, divine lightning crackling softly.

Bruce 2 (Thomas and Martha's son): Eleven years old, bright-eyed and curious.

Bruce 3 (Prime Earth Batman): Dark, brooding, tactical gear covering every inch.

"This is confusing," young Bruce 2 said. "Are we all the same person?"

"Different timelines, same heart," Bruce 1 replied, kneeling to the boy's level.

Batman Bruce 3 nodded approvingly. "The family bond transcends dimensions."

Superman Variants

Clark from the alternate timeline approached prime Earth Superman.

Both wore the same costume, but their experiences were vastly different.

"You look like you've seen less pain," alternate Clark observed.

Prime Clark placed a hand on his counterpart's shoulder.

"Pain shapes us, but it doesn't have to break us."

"You survived. That's what matters."

The two Kryptonians embraced, understanding passing between them wordlessly.

Ojaga watched the reunion with tears in his eyes.

Clark in his classic blue suit with red underwear showing.

Bruce 3 in his intimidating black Batman costume.

"Pfffffffffft!" Ojaga burst out laughing. "HAHAHAHAHA!"

Everyone turned to stare at him.

"Sorry, sorry," he gasped between laughs. "But Clark, that red underwear on the outside!"

"And Bruce, you look like you're going to a funeral!"

Both heroes looked down at their costumes self-consciously.

"Ahhmmm... Clark, can I have your photo?" Ojaga asked, looking embarrassed.

"And Bruce, you too? For... scientific documentation?"

Clark chuckled. "Sure, Ojaga. Whatever makes you happy."

Batman Bruce 3 actually smiled slightly. "I suppose I can allow one photograph."

The Mission Brief

Ojaga's expression grew serious as he addressed the assembled heroes.

"In our world, Lex Luthor captured our parents."

"He killed Clark and Kara. He has alien technology beyond anything you've seen."

"Father Boxes from Apokolips. Cloning facilities. Government backing."

"We need everyone's help to stop him."

Dr. Fate J'onn stepped forward. "I can open a portal to your reality."

"But be warned—the journey may change us all."

Portal to Prime Earth

The dimensional gateway opened above Wayne Manor.

Through it, they could see their original timeline.

Smoke rising from cities. Military vehicles everywhere.

Lex Luthor's victory was complete.

"Everyone ready?" Dr. Fate asked.

The combined Justice Leagues nodded.

"Then let's save your world."

The Return

They materialized outside prime Earth's Wayne Manor.

The mansion was in ruins, windows shattered, walls scorched.

In the distance, LexCorp towers dominated the skyline.

Lex Luthor stood on a balcony, watching news reports of his global conquest.

Then he saw the portal opening.

"Impossible," he whispered.

The heroes spread out in perfect formation.

Prime Earth Superman and alternate Clark flanked from the sky.

Both Batmans coordinated ground tactics.

Diana and alternate Diana created a pincer movement.

Arthur and alternate Arthur controlled the water approaches.

The two J'onns provided telepathic coordination.

And Ojaga... Ojaga went straight for Lex.

The Final Battle

"PSEUDO SUPER SAIYAN!"

Golden energy erupted around Ojaga as he transformed.

His power level skyrocketed past anything Lex had calculated.

Lex's clone army opened fire with alien weapons.

But the heroes were ready.

Both Flashes worked in perfect synchronization.

They dismantled Lex's equipment faster than human eyes could track.

Security systems shut down.

Weapons disabled.

Clone production facilities destroyed.

"Equipment neutralized!" Barry called out.

Lex activated his Father Box armor.

Gravity fields slammed down on the heroes.

Most of them were crushed to their knees.

But Ojaga, in Pseudo Super Saiyan form, remained standing.

"Impossible!" Lex screamed. "Nothing resists Father Box technology!"

"Saiyan biology says hi," Ojaga replied, walking through the gravity field.

He found the control center.

The real Lex sat connected to machines, his brain interfaced with the Father Box.

"You should have stayed dead," Lex snarled.

Prime Earth Superman and Diana broke through the barriers.

"KAMEHAMEHA!" Ojaga roared.

The golden energy beam disintegrated Lex's control chair.

The Father Box went dark.

The Rescue Mission

Both Flashes located the hidden safe house.

Thomas and Martha Wayne, Jonathan and Martha Kent, Barry's father—all alive.

"Boys!" Martha Wayne cried as Bruce and Ojaga embraced their parents.

"We knew you'd come for us," Thomas said proudly.

Victor and J'onn were freed from military custody.

Both Cyborgs worked together to expose Lex's data.

The Truth Revealed

Three J'onn J'onzzes combined their telepathic power.

They read every memory in Lex's mind.

"He killed three Supermans as babies in three parallel worlds," J'onn reported.

"Murdered the Kent families to prevent them from raising heroes."

"Cloned himself dozens of times."

"Tortured thousands of metahumans for experiments."

The evidence was overwhelming.

Victor uploaded everything to global networks.

News stations across the world broadcast Lex's crimes.

Video evidence of child experimentation.

Audio recordings of genocide plans.

Government officials scrambling to distance themselves.

"The truth is out," Victor announced. "Lex Luthor is finished."

One Week Later

The cleanup was systematic and thorough.

Superman, Bruce (Shazam), and Ojaga attacked every Lex facility simultaneously.

Heat vision and ki blasts reduced buildings to dust.

Lightning strikes disabled underground bunkers.

Every clone was destroyed.

Every experiment ended.

Every prisoner freed.

The Spirit's Warning

In the ruins of the final LexCorp facility, something unexpected happened.

A surviving clone found the Father Box and Mother Box.

When they touched, energy spiraled upward.

A spirit materialized—ancient, powerful, otherworldly.

"The great danger has only started," it intoned.

"The future is filled with chaos beyond imagination."

"You must prepare, especially you, Ojaga."

"The seven bubble worlds were opportunity and destruction combined."

"I must disappear from human sight now."

"None of you have the power or responsibility to carry this burden alone."

The spirit raised its hands.

Pure life energy flowed toward two still forms.

Clark Kent opened his eyes, the omega beam wound healed.

Kara Zor-El gasped, returning from the dead.

"Cousin?" she whispered to Clark.

"Family," he replied, helping her stand.

The spirit faded into nothing.

Both Mother Box and Father Box crumbled to dust.

The heroes looked at each other, knowing this victory was temporary.

Greater threats were coming.

But they would face them together.

Epilogue

Six months later, Earth had rebuilt.

Lex Luthor's crimes were history.

The heroes continued their watch.

And in Wayne Manor, two families gathered for dinner.

Three Bruce Waynes laughed at the same table.

Two barry shared stories of earth.

Two Clarks shared stories of Krypton.

Martha Wayne , nora, martha ( clark mother ( cooked for everyone, her family whole again.

But outside, in the depths of space, something stirred.

Ancient powers that had noticed Earth's resilience.

Threats that would make Darkseid look small.

The seven bubble worlds had left scars on reality itself.

And through those cracks, darkness was seeping in.
