Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths Page #4

---

Our minds are in sync to a degree

that was rare even among my own people.

I never imagined I'd meet a human

so complimentary to myself.

I feel it, attuned.

What are you doing?

Trying to kiss you.

On Earth, it's a way of sharing affection.

This is how we do it on Mars.

Know me.

That was.... Wow.

Now we know each other.

All the battles the Justice League

have won.

You think you can beat

the Crime Syndicate?

If we could find them, I have little doubt.

I could find out where their base is.

My father's known for years.

You wanna give us a hand here?

Final calculations. Very delicate.

FLASH:

Are we there yet?

That wasn't funny the first 15 times

you said it, either.

Enjoy yourselves while you can.

-My friends are going to tear you apart.

-Told you we should have Left her.

We couldn't take the chance she'd escape

and warn them we're coming.

When I get loose,

I'm killing you right after Batman. Uhn!

Doesn't mean we have to listen to her,

though.

How are we supposed to get in again?

Multi-frequency band,

encryption analyzer-replicator pack.

Some of us don't speak Star Trek.

Think of it

as a fancy garage-door opener.

Come on, then.

Pitch in, you miserable git.

JOHNNY QUICK:

Having a kip, are we? I'm talking to you.

The hangar doors Just opened.

Is it Just me,

or does this seem a little too easy?

We were Just about to come

Looking for you.

The QED is armed now.

You'll want to surrender.

ULTRAMAN:

You heard him. We've got the bomb.

Everybody does what we say, or else.

You're bluffing.

As Long as the bomb's here,

all you can blow up is your own house.

Maybe you should surrender.

We've taken down dozens of you.

And now the odds are 6-to-3.

SUPERWOMAN:
Count again.

-Uhn! Uhn!

Look who I found in the hangar.

Submit.

Bugger.

No.

-What Just happened?

-He's taken the QED to Earth Prime.

If he detonates it, he'll destroy all reality.

-I'm not liking the sound of that.

-Don't listen to him.

Owlman's Just taking the bomb

to a hiding place.

Don't try and con me.

What are you two doing?

LEX:

There's no way to follow him.

-It's over.

-Not yet.

How many coordinates

does this thing keep in memory?

The Last dozen or so, but--

That's more than enough.

Owlman's way ahead of us.

We're locked out.

Unless....

Someone vibrating at the right speed

could piggyback...

...on Owlman's carrier wave

and open a portal.

But he'd have to be fast.

-I'm your man.

-No, you're not. You're too slow.

-What?

-I know your limitations.

You can't possibly reach the speed

necessary to pull this off.

-But I can.

-Listen.

-I--

-No, you listen.

He's talking about my world.

I'm not letting that happen.

-It could be dangerous--

-The bloody universe is at stake.

Of course it's dangerous.

All right, when you reach the proper speed,

I'll give you a mark.

LEX:
You have to hold that speed precisely.

Got it?

Faster.

Faster.

Hold that speed.

I'm next.

You don't have a transit device.

You'd be torn apart by the event horizon.

OWLMAN:

Welcome to Earth Prime.

Before there was thought,

there was this place.

One Earth, with a single history.

But with the coming of man

came the illusion of free will...

...and with that illusion came chaos.

With every choice we make,

we literally create a world.

History branches in two, creating one Earth

where we made the choice...

...and a second where we didn't.

That's the secret of the universe,

you know.

Billions of people

making billions of choices...

...creating infinite Earths.

Some so similar to each other

you can spend a lifetime...

...searching for any distinction,

others so radically different...

...they defy comprehension.

And all of the branches originate here.

Every version of reality balances

precariously on this singular Earth.

It seems so different

from the Earths we know.

I can't imagine what series of decisions

led to this world hurtling out of its orbit.

But I know this:

The source of the cataclysm

was the same as it always is.

Man.

You can't be sure of that.

-Anything--

-You know better.

Man is a cancer.

And I've chosen to cut out the disease.

You're talking about killing--

Everyone who ever lived.

Who ever will live.

I choose to make

the only possible real choice.

You're insane.

Does it really matter?

There are alternate versions of me

that you would find quite charming.

OWLMAN:
From what I gather,

we're very much alike.

Everything about you tells the tale.

Your attitude, your costume,

your tactics...

...they all scream of outrage,

despair, vengeance.

What terrible wrong was done

to set you on this path?

It doesn't really matter.

Nothing matters.

What are you planning to do,

talk me to death?

Actually....

I thought I'd beat you to death.

You should have sent your flying man.

With his strength,

he might have had a chance.

But you don't trust anyone else

to do what needs to be done.

Hah. I feel the same way.

If we're really alike,

you know this is wrong.

You must have been a good man, once.

No. Not good.

Never good. After all, I'm only human.

-Uhn!

-No more debate.

I'm going to kill you now,

then everyone else.

There is a difference

between you and me.

We both looked into the abyss...

...but when it Looked back at us...

...you blinked.

It doesn't matter.

Are you all right?

Johnny, I'm back. Stop vibrating.

Stop.

Oh, God.

Did we save the world, then?

We did.

And all that rubbish about me

being faster than Flash?

You knew this was gonna happen.

Good one, mate.

That's real sad, ain't it?

Now, get your asses off my moon.

What's wrong with you?

We almost Lost everything.

That was then.

Now you're a bunch of wanna be cops

trying to take me in.

Going to take you in.

Two things:
You ain't got the authority

and you ain't nearly tough enough.

We're more than tough enough.

Brought the cavalry?

I brought the Marines.

The president was displeased

by the attempt on his daughter's life.

There are nuclear weapons in the shuttle.

I brought enough for everybody.

WILSON:
There's no way to thank you.

You've given us back our world.

I've already ordered the national guard

to support local Law-enforcement teams.

We're rounding up the bad guys

everywhere.

I don't want you to go.

I don't want to go either,

but I don't belong here.

You could.

You could belong here with me.

Excuse me, J'onn,

but would you stop acting like an idiot?

-What?

-This is what we fight for.

If you love her, stay.

I've already Lost one home.

I made a promise to protect my new one.

Then this is how we say goodbye.

Maybe there's another one like her

back on our Earth.

With my luck, she'll be evil.

Ah. It's good to be back home.

-Ow!

-Mind your head.

FLASH:

I can't believe you kept that thing.

Spolls of war. I like it.

What do you need a plane for, anyway?

You can fly.

You drive a car.

That is so not the point.

I owe you an apology about this mission.

You were right.

We were both right.
