A woman walks down the streets. Buildings reach up into the clouds. Cars whooshing by in the sky and on the streets. Beautiful blue sky. The woman quickly reaches an open field of the greenest grass, perfectly mowed and trimmed. The woman pulls out a small silver remote with a blue button in the middle. She presses the blue button, and a big silver ship appears. A door opens up, and the woman walks in The ship flies up and takes off into the sky.
“Gwendolyn, pick up the files on the 8 girls accompanying me on this journey,” The woman says.
“You usually work alone captain,” Gwendolyn replies.
“Yes, well, I’ll need a little help this time,” The woman says, “Plot a course for 2016, realm 1.”

A gunfire. Sirens ring loudly. A girl, dressed in dark colors crouches nearby. She stands up and flies down to the sounds. She lands. The man standing before her holds up the gun. He has a big sack over his shoulder.
“Catch me if you can girly!” He yells. He jumps into a van and begins to drive off. The girl slightly laughs and flies very quickly after. She catches up to the van and her hand creates a fireball and she punches the van. It topples over and lands on its side. The sirens get closer as the robber slowly gets out of the van.
“Hello,” Someone says from behind the girl. She turns and a flash knocks her out.

“Dad!” she yells.
“Honey, what are you doing here?” Her father asks.
“I thought it was, "take your daughter to work day?” She replies.
“Oh, I forgot!”
“Haha!” She laughs.
“Okay, okay, go change,” He says. The girl smiles and runs away. She goes into a room and quickly changes. She comes out of the room and a woman stands before her.
“Can I help you?” She asks.
“Yeah, hold still,” The girl cocks her head before a blinding flash knocks her out.

“Wait up!” He yells after.
“What is it?” She replies.
“Oh, nothing really, but you’re on patrol tonight,” He says.
“Oh, okay fine. I was going out to eat,” the girl says.
“Okay, cool, have fun,” The boy replies walking back to the mansion. The girl smiles and continues walking. Soon she reaches the diner. She is about to open the door when some men start going after a car. The girl looks over a little and sees that they have surrounded a woman in the car. She runs up to them.
“Leave her alone!” The girl yells.
“Or what?” One of the men ask.

“You are so controlling!”
“No, you’re just really stubborn!”
“Oh, come on! You know that I’m right and you don't want to admit it!”
“Not true! I’m older, which means I know more!”
I’m getting some air!” One of the girl's storms out of the room and slams the door. She goes and sits on the bench in a park far away from her older sister. She looks at her hands. Thinking hard.

Temporal zone
Everyone begins to wake up. Each one slowly rises and looks around dazed.
“What?” Toni looks around.
“Red Archer?” Sally asks.
“I prefer Arrowette. Red Archer makes me sound bad,” Diana replies.
“What happened?” Evelina turns around in confusion.
“Some woman, black jacket, blinding light knockout device, anything ring a bell?” Carla says.
“Yeah… a flashy thing,” Leila says sarcastically.
“I don’t know, I remember the light, but…” Ivy says.
“Here’s something, how about we all find out who is who, cause I sure don’t know anyone,” Nizah interjects.
“That’s not a bad idea, I’m Sally Allen, fastest girl alive,”
“The fastest girl who couldn’t avoid a blinding light, that’s sad,” Leila says, “Oh, I’m Leila, nothing important about me.”
“I’m Ivy, or Silvia either one is okay, but I’m Owl. I’m famous throughout superheroes,” Ivy says.
“Two names? Weird. I’m a hero and have never heard of you. Larksong, or Evelina, but I’m called Eve,”
“Carla, I inherited my mother’s ability to anticipate my opponent’s next move,”
“I’m as, Sally said, the Red Archer or Arrowette, Diana,”
“Nizah, League of Assassins,”
“Toni, sonic scream called the canary cry,”
“Great you now know each other. Let’s get down to business,” A woman comes up from the shadows, “The name’s Maren Hunt. I’m from London, England, and the future.”
“Haha! Yeah right,” Toni comments.
“Who are you, and why did you kidnap us?” Ivy asks.
“What’s so special about us? Diana continues.
“So many questions. Many answers. I took you 8 out of your timelines and realms. I and a Realm and Time Jumper. That’s the informal term. I brought you 8 together because a band of “supervillains” for say are coming together and trying to use the ability to jump from timeline to timeline in all the realms and shape their own reality. I chose you because you have powers, abilities, and ties to this group,” Maren replies.
“Ties? What ties?” Sally asks.
“Glad you asked. This is the group,” Maren holds up a device and a holographic screen appears. A picture of a man with a very nice looking clothing and a look of power to him.
“Ra’s al Ghul…” Nizah breathes.
“Ra’s who?” Sally asks.
“Ra’s al Ghul, he’s the head of the League of Assassins, known as the Demon. Ra’s al Ghul is really just a title, he had a name before, but no one really knows what it was anymore,” Nizah explains.
“Precisely,” Maren pushes another button and the next person is a woman. She's Asian and seems very strong, precise, and sly, she also has a striking resemblance to Carla.
“Lady Shiva,” Carla says.
“Lady Shiva! I’ve heard of that before!” Sally exclaims excitedly.
“You’re not in the same realm as I am,” Carla replies dryly.
“Yeah, but Lady Shiva is the name of a store owned by Sandra Woosan!” Sally exclaims.
“That’s the problem. Lady Shiva is a great assassin. She’s probably one of the greatest. She had a sister, they made a way to tell what their opponent’s next move might be. I’m Carla, Carla Woosan. Lady Shiva is my mother,” Carla says.
“Right, Nizah’s father Ra’s al Ghul, Carla’s mother Lady Shiva, and there is more to come,” Maren says.
“Oh, wait, Nizah didn’t say that Ra’s was her father,” Livy comments.
“Yeah, didn’t think It was very necessary, who’s next?” Nizah replies rather quickly. Maren pushes the button, again. A man appears. He has one red eye, and many bullets lacing his light brown jacket and a smirk is plastered his face.
‘Wait, he looks like Floyd Lawton,” Leila speaks up.
“Who?”
“Floyd Lawton, he was someone who… nevermind, I just knew him, he looks a lot older, though, and he had terrible aim…”
“Deadshot, He’s an assassin from where I come from. He is a very good one too, never misses,” Eve says.
“He could hardly protect himself when I met him,” Leila says.
“Well, different realm thing, but Deadshot is called that because he never misses, that’s my father,” Eve says. Before the conversation can prolong, Maren switches the person. It’s two people standing closely together. One is a man who looks mean and cold, the other one is a woman who looks less cold, but there’s a fire in her eyes.
“Sportsmaster and Huntress. They are also assassins. They’re my parents,” Diana states.
“Why are all these people assassins?” Sally asks.
“Because assassins kill and killers are usually cold-hearted and are the biggest problems in every realm I guess,” Owl replies.
“I’m an assassin,” Nizah says.
“I’ve killed before too,” Leila says.
“I said usually,” Owl defends herself, “Though, Leila, you seem cold.”
“Yeah, I have enemies everywhere,” Leila replies.
“We all do,” Eve interjects. Maren changes the picture. Now it’s a man with longish hair, many
scars on his face and has a murderous stare.
“Vandal Savage. We can’t kill him, he’s immortal,” Ivy says.
“Why would we kill him? We just want to apprehend him right?” Sally replies.
“I was just putting out an example,” Owl states.
“Or can we kill him…” Leila says.
“I just said he’s immortal!” Owl claims.
“We’ll see,”
“Okay that’s enough, who’s next?” Toni says before the argument can go further. The next person is a big guy. He has this device on his hand with a tube that goes to his head.
“Bane. That’s a serum in the tube. It makes his muscles grow and makes him super strong. That’s my uncle. He injected some of that into me when I was born, so I can choose how strong I want to be, I don’t do it too often, it gives me a migraine after I do it,” Toni states.
“He just looks scary,” Sally says.
“He can be, but he does care, but he’s evil and well, hard to deal with at times. He can’t get around without getting noticed right away. You can’t miss that figure,” Toni explains.
“Right,” Diana says, “So, is that it?” Maren changes the picture to a man in a yellow suit.
“Wait, that’s Reverse-Flash,” Sally says, “He has no ties to me. Leila?
“Reverse who? Never seen the guy in my life,” Leila says.
“Oh, you know who it is,” Maren speaks finally.
“What do you mean?” Sally asks.
“Think, You were born with super speed, yet, Flash and Iris are not biologically related to
you,” Maren clarifies.
“But, that’s… how can…” Sally stutters, “That can’t be true!”
“Oh, you’re dad is a supervillain. Big Woof, so is everyone else’s,” Leila says.
“Says, the one who doesn’t have an evil relative!” Sally yells.
“Chill girl, I have not evil parents, but bad ones. My father deserted my mother when I was
born, and my mother is in jail,” Leila says.
“Still! None of your family is assassins!” Sally exclaims.
“Let’s not get too hasty, Sally,” Maren says. The picture changes and this time it’s a fairly good looking man, he has black hair and deep green eyes. His expression shows hatred, but a calming way to it. Everyone looks to each other, no one answers.
“This is the man who organized the entire grouping, he is very persuasive and manipulative.
He was able to convince all of these men and women to join his insane quest,” Maren says.
“What does this have to do with Leila?” Ivy asks speaking up after a while of silence. No one
else speaks, but they are all thinking the same thing.
“Because his name is Juniper, Juniper Ross,” Leila speaks for everyone, “I’ve seen him in pictures. He was what kept me going in my darker days. I had hoped to find him one day.”
“Guess your wish is coming true,” Nizah says.
“Not in the way you want it though,” Diana says.
“Or is it?” Eve replies.
“Shut up,” Leila says to all of them.
“So this is what we’re up against?” Carla comments.
“If you agree to join,” Maren replies.
“But we’re trapped in this weird thing,” Ivy says.
“Yes, but there are doors heading to each of your realms, so if you wish to join me stay put if you don’t, leave now,” Maren says. Nobody moves. They look around at each other, but none of the 8 girls move to leave.
“Excellent,” Maren says, “Now time to meet the ship that will bring us through time and realms.”
