Multiverse of Marvel - Chapter 785: Darksied (2)
Diana was getting bored with all the discussion and used her knuckles to blow out the thick 5 inch steel wall suddenly. The others who were busy making plans turned their heads to look at Diana with a stupefied face.
“What? All talk and no action!!”
Bruce and others just sighed at her violence and stepped in. When everyone had stepped inside they finally got to see the aftermath that the sleeping gas had produced. Many Robins were almost half dead lying on the floor. It was apparent because some had drooling saliva flowing from the mouth.
While the other ‘Batmans’ weren’t faring any better. Some Batmans were lying face down while blood poured out from their head. While some were just knocked unconscious. In fact there were some who were trying to open their eyelids but it was no help.
But not all were down. Some were very much active and were ready to fight the enemy who had just appeared. In the gateway to another hall, there stood a robot with a glass shield on its head. From the glass shield one could see the face of the person who was controlling the robot from inside.
Basically it was Iron Man with a glass shield in his head. It was more like the suit of Lex Luthor in the Justice League Unlimited series. The people around got to see the person inside the robot who was standing in their way.
When DC Batman saw the face of the person who was controlling the robot, he almost fell on his knees. He had been dead for quite a long time and with that the perk of no emotions had come with him, but the face which he got to see was of someone who he didn’t expect.
The face of his mother. The mother who had died in that alley all those years ago. DC Batman who was almost on his knees was given a hand by Batman. He was expecting his mother to be there for sometime now. John had already spoken of it in the series.
In the series the face of the woman was not his real mother, but here it was different. Here, it was the face of the mother which he had known for a long time now. He himself was shaking and was overwhelmed with different emotions.
Sadness, anger, pain, happiness. He was assaulted by all those emotions and it too hit him like a train. But since he was expecting it, he was able to hold on, albeit by the virtue of acceptance from a long time.
“Mother.” DC Batman was finally able to stand straight after a moment of silence.
“I am not your mother and you will die here.” Martha Wayne spoke angrily as she launched a bunch of rockets to the invaders. DC Batman was still a little stupefied that his own mother wants to kill him.
It was Superman who came forward and stopped the rockets and missiles sent their way.
“Wake up to reality.” Batman shouted. It was not sure if it was said to himself or DC Batman. With this shout he finally got his bearings straight at the robot. The only emotion left for DC Batman now as anger. The anger of defiling the pure image of his mother in his head and dead non-beating heart.
He used his black lantern ring to raise a bunch of skeletons who had been sleeping and whose graves the Bat Castle was built on. Superman just looked at DC Batman and shook his head. It would have been easier if it was left to him but it seemed like both the Batmans were pumped up and needed to vent their anger.
Everyone stepped back to watch the show!!
Batman flew away and directly hit the glass dome with the fastest and the hardest punch possible. The glass was built with the toughest material but it still was enough to put a crack on it. The zombies and skeletons that had just emerged had started to walk towards the robot slowly.
The robot introduced blades made of plasma from both the robotic hands and started cutting down the zombies that had just emerged. The hit from Kryptonian Batman wasn’t even enough to make her fall.
The robot was made to fight Superman in her world by Lex Luthor. So of course, the first hit of Batman wasn’t enough. Martha was able to take care of few of the zombies at the beginning as the plasma but there were innumerable ones and they had started piling on her. The robot body wasn’t very huge.
About 7 feet in height so it was rather easy for the zombies to overwhelm her. This was enough to brush her off her feet and make her fall down. But they weren’t able to effectively cause much damage to the metal body.
