The Worlds' Finest
In an unknown time and an unknown place, a woman dug for diamonds on the ocean's floor. Her fists pounded the rock repeatedly before she felt something wrap around her leg. A large squid.
???: I'm not window shopping, Slimy. This is real work you're interrupting.
She reached for it's tentacle and got herself a good grip. She then freed her leg without much effort.
???: If you can't find a lady squid to pester, maybe you need a time out! Far out!
She spun the squid around before launching it out of the water with amazing strength. On the water's surface, a ship of fishermen watched as the squid went flying into the air.
Fishman: <Flying squid? Never have heard tales of that.>
Fisherwoman: <Probably global warming. Let us hope it doesn't disturb our next catch.>
Back under the water, the woman continued her digging before she felt the sharp rock turn to diamond. She smiled as she grabbed the diamond.
???: Bingo. Another round of legal bills paid. Those lawyers are really killing me and my company with this case.
She scooped up the diamonds and looked up toward the water's surface. Another hour long search done. She flew up and emerged from the water which sent a small wave toward the boat which caused it to rock.
Fisherman: <Global warming, huh?! I don't think so!>
Fisherwoman: <Harold! It's her! Powergirl!>
As the young heroine flew through the sky, she sighed. Thanks to Lex Luthor, she was now being sued for damages that he caused. Doesn't matter what time you land in, the corrupt will be corrupt. Or something like that.
Powergirl: Next stop, Amsterdam. If I time this right I can drop off the diamonds, get in a pub crawl, and be back in the morning in time to meet Hel.

Gotham City, Present Day...
Conner: Is that all you got?
He pointed the bat at you with a cocky smirk. You clenched the baseball in your hand and turned to your side as you winded up another pitch. You just mumbled under your breath.
Y/N: I'll show you what I got.
Conner: I heard that.
Y/N: Shut up and focus on the ball!
You threw the baseball which Conner hit effortlessly. He then dissapeared from your view as the ball soared away. Unfortunately for Mini Supes, you had a powerhouse on your team to.
Cassie: I got it!
She flew up and caught the ball with a smile on her face which stopped Conner dead in his tracks between third and home.
Conner: Dang it!
Announcer: And that's three outs! The score is now; The Bats: 2 and The Supers: 1. Time for the switch up.
You smiled as you looked at Conner. This may seem weird to anyone without context, but this was the annual Justice Leauge Charity Baseball Game. Once every year, heroes would get together and play a game of baseball for a good cause. This year was to make money for victims of super villian attacks. Trust me, there were a bunch of people.
Bart: Hell yeah! We just got to keep them there for one more round and we win.
Cassie: This isn't about winning, Bart. This is about raising money for a good cause.
Kyle: Though, beating them is a nice bonus.
Kyle and Bart shared a fist bump as you tossed a bat to Megan.
Y/N: Give them hell, Ms. Martian.
Megan: You got it, chief!
Megan caught the bat and rushed out to home plate. Even though you had a large audience, more than you had time to count, everyone was mostly dressed casually. You had on the cowl but you didn't wear the cape or any extra layers. It was a hot day after all.
In contrast, Conner wore a simple tank top with the Superman "S" logo. Since he didn't have a secret identity, technically, he was more relaxed with just a Smallville baseball cap.
Conner: Show no mercy!
Jessica: Wouldn't dream of it.
You leaned on the fence post, almost bored, before you scanned the crowd. Mostly it was families with their kids who loved superheroes. You had quite a bit of young fans. Even if they weren't here for the heroes, they were here for the game. It was definitely a hell of a game.
Your eyes eventually landed on the box seats up above. The one reserved for the Wayne Family. You could see everyone sitting there either watching the game, or talking to each other.
Y/N: It's such a nice day.
Cassie: Isn't it?
--------
Unknown Time, New York....
???: Thought your legal bills were killing you, Lois. I am glad that you had enough cash left over to buy breakfast in style, though.
Powergirl/Lois: Advances from the Law Firm, Hel. Once this whole thing with Lex is settled, we'll be getting brunch on the beach with mimosas and hot studs walking around shirtless.
Hel: Right. As much as I would love that, we're still underaged.
Lois: That's what fake IDs are for.
Hel: My dad can find a fake ID just by thinking it. Not gonna work.
Lois Kent. Helena Wayne. Two heroines who fight for truth, justice, and the good of mankind. The two girls were staying in a hotel suite at the moment since Helena had asked Lois for her help in an investigation. How did two teenage girls afford this? Helena's father is filthy stinking rich.
Lois jumped on the bed in her blue robe with a groan. She had decided to take a shower after dealing with ocean stink while Helena enjoyed her breakfast in bed.
Hel: While you were out, did you hear anything about Dessad?
Lois: Nope! I'm sure he's hiding away on Apokolips or some other hidey-hole. Whatever. Not our problem anymore.
Hel rolled her eyes and took a bite from the apple she had in her hand.
Hel: Dealing with those guys kinda makes you wonder how our parents dealt with that kind of stuff. They were our age when we started heroing, right?
Lois: Technically my dad was barely born. Yours was, like, 15 or something.
Hel: You know what I mean. Mom and dad fought people way worse than we have to deal with.
Lois: Well, my mom and dad dealt with the same things. Well, minus Gotham's freaks.
Before Hal could retort, there was a loud boom that came from outside. The two girls looked out the window to find a shootout between the police and some thugs with guns. The two girls then looked at each other.
Lois: Hopefully my costume is dried.
Hal: I'll meet you down there.
----------
You stood beside the other Leaugers as the announcer thanked everyone for coming out for the day and donating.
Conner: I can't believe you guys won.
Y/N: What's there not to believe? I mean, we beat you.
The two of you smiled as people began to file out of the stadium. You streached your arms before you turned to Conner and Cassie.
Y/N: So, no Trinity business?
Cassie: No. Actually, I should head home now. I'm on my own so I'm gonna have to cook dinner.
Conner's head perked up.
Conner: Or, you can come over to my place. Lois and Jon are out visiting some friends in Metropolis. I would appreciate the company.
Cassie smiled sweetly at him while Bart nudged you.
Bart: Can you feel the love tonight?
Y/N: And just like that, our trio is down to two.....that line doesn't work in this situation.
While Conner and Cassie talked, your alert went off. You checked the alert with the Batcomputer contact lens and saw that there was an anomaly on the other side of Gotham.
Y/N: What the....
Conner: What's up?
Conner and Cassie looked over at you as you checked the alert again.
Y/N: It says that there's an anomaly at the harbor. A time anomaly!
Conner: Do you think it could be....
Y/N: It's worth checking out. You think you could help out?
Conner vanished and returned, now dressed in his superman wear.
Conner: Let's go, Bat.
Y/N: Thanks, Supes.
------
Lois: If you guys stop shooting me now, I might leave some bones unbroken.
Another man shot at her. The bullet just bounced off of her.
Lois: Ok. I see how this is going to go.
She flew down and grabbed two men before throwing them at two other shooters. One man aimed his gun at her but it fell from his hands when something stabbed into his hand. He looked at it to see that it was a crossbow bolt.
Hel: That's my friend!
Hel: No one hurts her but me!
She dodged gunfire before she threw out a batarang which knocked the gun out of the shooter's hands. She then leaped forward and cracked him across the face.
Lois: Heads up!
Hel ducked as Lois threw a man right into the black van.
Hel: Nice one!
She leaped over the van and slammed her foot against the final man's chest. The two girls stood ther victorious as civilians began to cheer.
Man: It's Huntress and Powergirl!
Woman: Thank God they were here.
Lois: Good job, partner!
Hel: Right back at you. Now, let's get out of here so I can go back to enjoying my...
???: Bravo, girls.
The two turned around to see a man standing ontop of the black van. He wore a brown undershirt with a green vest over it. He also wore colorful trousers with gun holsters on his hips. A mask with a smiley face was hid his identity.
Lois: Uh, one of yours?
Hel: I was gonna ask you the same thing.
Not Joker: I'm not either of yours. Your fathers know me pretty well, though.
Hel: Our dads?
Lois: Who are you?
Not Joker: They call me Jokar. Now, I'm going to make your father suffer even more.
He suddenly leaped down and grabbed Hel's wrist before he used her to slam into Lois. The two girls slammed against the van before Jokar threw a small device.
Jokar: Tell Y/N I said hello.
Jokar began to laugh insanely as the two girls suddenly found themselves engulfed in a bright light. The next thing they knew, the two of them were falling into a body of water below. The two girls ended up in the deep waters which ended up knocking Hel out cold.
Lois: Helena?!
She grabbed her friend and quickly flew out of the water and onto the shore.
Lois: Stay with me! Don't you die! I don't want Batman coming after me because he thinks I killed you!
She reached out for her friend, but something was off. Her skin was glowing and it was hurting.
Lois: What is this?! Why is this happening?!
She closed her eyes and the energy surrounding her body caused her to shake.
Hel: Lois?
She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her friend. She quickly sat up and scooted back as Lois held her head.
Lois: That guy, he....he messed with my powers!
Hel: Just calm down. Try not to get too crazy. We don't know what this is.
Lois took deep breaths and slowly, the energy began to fade.
Lois: Ok. Alright. I'm good.
Hel helped her to her feet before the girls looked at the city nearby.
Lois: Wait, isn't this Gotham?
Hel: Not one that I know. Wait. Did that Jokar guy send us to an alternate earth or something?!
Lois: No. This is our world. Just, different. Come on. We should get somewhere safe.
Hel: It's Gotham. Where is safe?
--------
You and Conner looked at the area where the anomaly had taken place. There wasn't anything here, but there was traces of elements that didn't belong here.
Y/N: Seems like whatever happened, we missed it.
Conner: You think it's someone from the future or the past?
Y/N: Both are dangerous. We need to find out what this is as soon as possible.
Conner: I agree. I have a dinner to get ready for.
You rolled your eyes and stood up to look at the sample you had picked up.
Y/N: So, you and Cassie?
Conner: We're, uh, just friends. Yeah. Just friends.
Y/N: Sure. I'll go back to the cave and get this checked out. You go enjoy your dinner.
Conner gave a two finger salute as he began to fly up.
Conner: Let me know if you find anything.
Y/N: I'll whistle.
Conner laughed and flew off as you shot out a grapple hook and swung away.
---------
Lois: So, good news and bad news. Which do you want first?
Hel: I could use some good news right about now.
The girls were now hiding underneath the Gotham East Bridge. Hel was sitting on the metal beams while Lois was hovering on her back with a newspaper in her hands.
Lois: So, good news is that this is Gotham.
Hel: And the bad news?
Lois held up the paper for Hel to see. Hel's eyes grew wide and she snatched it away to look at the picture.
Hel: No way. No no nonono!
On the front page, was a picture of you, Conner, Cassie, and Bart in your uniforms. It was after you all had stopped a large ring of robberies and drug busts.
Lois: They look so young.
Hel: Look young?! They are young! Lois, our dads are our age! We're in the past!
