Chapter 120: Meeting the League
Chapter 120: Meeting the League
AN: As many of you might noticed, this is a crossover from my other book, Batman's Little Brother. But to those who don't know it, it should still be readable as there's no need to know about the other book's plot. At most, I just put easter eggs on it but to those who didn't read, this is just the mc meeting another transmigrator.
This arc won't take a lot of chapters. most likely just one or two more. Just for the fun of it and characters interacting each other.
No new harem member from here.
I'll do one 'kinda big' bad which will be solved just as fast then back to Marvel.
That's all.
I'll do another chapter tomorrow.

Chapter 120: Meeting the League
A certain alternate universe.
Inside a huge space station hovering around Earth, several figures stood around as they chatted amongst themselves.
“Hey, Lucas. What is this about? It’s rare for you to gather us after so long.”
A man wearing a red suit with golden linings asked a white-haired man leaning on a chair.
“Hehe, it’s rare to meet someone in a similar situation as me. I thought it’s better for all of us to welcome him.”
“A similar situation…? Do you mean someone who’s reincarnated in another world?”
A woman with long black hair with a golden whip on her waist asked.
Lucas smiled as he sighed, recalling his life so far.
Many years ago, he had somehow found himself reincarnated into the world of DC Comics.
Not only that, but he even had the identity of a certain brooding vigilante’s little brother.
His name was Lucas Wayne.
For years, he had lived in this world, facing enemies the likes of Darkseid, Anti-Monitor, Barbatos, and such.
Now, he could be said to be at the topmost power of this DC Universe.
He even visited some neighboring DC Universes as well as a certain devil’s universe.
In fact, there was even a time when he led his kids into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for fun!
Well, that ended up kinda chaotic so he had to revert everything back in order to fix the fabric of reality in that universe.
Lucas figured that although him visiting other DC Universes was fine, visiting other…more distant universes would start some sort of cataclysmic event so he refrained from visiting those universes after that.
Anyway, he was never the type who wanted to be a conqueror nor was he a power-hungry maniac.
All he wanted was some fun.
Now, he suddenly received a message from his DC System which had long been silent, that another system had contacted it, wanting to get his world’s coordinates due to return someone to their correct universe.
Lucas was surprised as he never thought Systems could communicate like that.
Although he had met a fair share of other System holders in other DC Universes…but well, that’s a story for another time.
In any case, something interesting was finally happening again after such a long time.
Of course, while he thinks he alone is enough in case things go sideways, to be on the safe side, he called the OG Justice League to welcome the visitor with him.
The OG Justice League had long since retired. Already handing over their mantles to their successors. However, once in a while, they get together like this and wear their old but improved suits.
Lucas had also long since told them about his identity since he felt that his identity as an otherworlder no longer mattered given everything they’d been through.
After hearing that someone like Lucas would be coming, everyone started to tense up.
They all knew full-well how much of a cheat Lucas was!
This visitor…
A certain man in a bat suit groaned.
“Luke, you…sigh…”
“Relax Bruce, it’s fine. If he turns out bad, I’ll kick him right out of our universe.”
Lucas chuckled.
“Well, risks aside, I am kinda curious about this guy.”
A man in a green suit with a lantern ring smirked.
Another man in a green hood rolled his eyes.
“As if you ever cared about risks, Hal.”
“But is this really fine? Shouldn’t we maybe quarantine the area or something? What if he brings with him some other universe virus or something?”
A half-man half-machine asked.
“In any case, we just have to be prepared for everything.”
A man in a blue suit and red cape nodded to Lucas and looked vigilant.
At this moment, Lucas felt the space begin distorting. He smiled.
“He’s here! Quick! Look scary and intimidating!”
“...”
Everyone was speechless.
However, they were all used to Lucas like this already and the space in front of them also started to visibly split so they all began to look solemn.
From the tear, a foot appeared in the void slowly.
And then…it started to tap on the ground a few times.
Just as the Justice League were confused, they heard a voice on the other side of the void.
“Hey, this is safe, right? I won’t turn into spaghetti or something?”
“...”
Slowly, a figure of a man appeared from the void.
He had similar white hair like Lucas and looking closely, they seemed to resemble in some way.
While Lucas currently wore a casual white shirt and black jacket, the visitor wore a black shirt and white trench coat.
The visitor was naturally Benjamin.
For a while, the group stared at each other in silence.
Suddenly, Benjamin coughed and smiled wryly.
“Umm, I come in peace?”
After he said that, Batman took a step forward with his constant scowl look and narrowed his eyes.
“Speak. Who are you!? What is your purpose for coming to this universe!?”
Seeing Batman trying to intimidate him, Benjamin felt amused and spoke in Heath Ledger style.
“Why so serious?”
“...”
“Sorry, I always wanted to say that. That was just a joke. Oh wait, is it ok if I joke with this guy?.”
Benjamin looked around and recognized everyone as the familiar Justice League.
Well, everyone but one.
The white-haired guy stood out amongst the others like a sore thumb. This must be this universe’s System holder.
Lucas chuckled.
“Don’t worry about him. He’s always like that.”
“Well, the Batman who Broods is always better than the Batman who Laughs, I guess.”
“Oh, you don’t need to worry about that one either. We already dealt with him years ago.”
“Oh…”
Benjamin nodded.
He looked around at the vigilant Justice League again and sighed.
“Well, if you’re all like this already, I suppose I should jump straight to the point.”
Benjamin looked at everyone and gave a slight bow.
“My name’s Benjamin.”
“Parker?”
Lucas interjected while Benjamin just laughed.
“No, I’m not Uncle Ben. I’m simply Benjamin Freed of the Enhanced Police Division.”
Lucas raised a brow at that.
Enhanced Police Division?
Was there such a thing in the Marvel world?
While Lucas was curious, Benjamin turned to Superman and continued.
“One of your doppelgangers appeared in my universe by accident. I don’t know which specific world he belongs, but I figured you guys can help him better than us so here I am.”
Superman was surprised and confused.
“My doppelganger? Why can’t your Superman help him?”
“We don’t have a Superman.”
Hearing that, he was even more confused.
The Flash also asked.
“Then how do you know that he was not your Superman instead?”
Benjamin scratched his cheek, wondering how to explain it.
“Like I said. We do not have a Superman. We also don’t have Krypton, no Gotham City, no Themyscra, no Clark Kent, no Bruce Wayne, no Diana Prince. My universe is completely different from yours. From what we know, the Superman we found was sent to our universe by accident as a baby. He was found by an alien called the Collector and raised him inside a glass cage as a ‘being from another world.’ Then the Grandmaster found him and turned him into a gladiator to fight for his arena when he grew older. We only recently met him and won him in a bet against the Grandmaster.”
Hearing Benjamin tell the story, everyone frowned while Lucas sighed.
“That’s indeed an amazing coincidence. If not for you finding him, that Superman would probably continue to be a gladiator in some alien arena, fighting day in and out.”
Benjamin also sighed and nodded.
The Green Lantern asked.
“Uhh, not to be that guy but…why couldn’t that Superman just…break out? Are there Kryptonites there too? Or was it a red sun?”
Benjamin shook his head.
“The Collector placed a bomb inside his brain when he was a baby. Later on, the controls to the bomb were passed to the Grandmaster. The constant ticking in his brain broke away any thoughts of freedom from him. Ah, don’t worry, I already removed that bomb.”
When Benjamin mentioned the bomb in the head, Superman felt chills shiver down his spine.
What kind of sick maniac puts a bomb inside a baby!?
And it even has to constantly tick!? With Superman’s super hearing, won’t that drive anyone insane!?
Benjamin asked.
“Look. Since that Superman was sent away as a baby, then most likely, his universe’s Krypton also met the same fate as yours and had blown up. I was thinking that maybe you can find a world where Krypton still exists? And then we send him there instead.”
Wonder Woman nodded and smiled at him.
“Yes. He has been through so much. This is the least we can do. You are kind, Benjamin Freed.”
Seeing her smile, the System quickly spammed pop-ups.
[HOST! STOP FLIRTING WITH WONDER WOMAN!]
[CAN THE HOST FLIRT ELSEWHERE!?]
[HOST! QUICKLY MAKE AN UGLY FACE!]
“...”
Benjamin sweated.
That was just a normal smile okay!?
Can you not overreact!?
Although Benjamin thought that, he still glanced at Lucas a bit.
When he saw his expression was normal, Benjamin sighed.
Safe!
Not knowing about Benjamin’s crisis, Superman also nodded.
“Thank you, Benjamin Freed. For helping him.”
“Ah, well, this is considered my job too I guess.”
“Oh? Are you your world’s hero as well? Like our Lucas?”
“Lucas?”
Benjamin asked and turned to the white-haired man.
Lucas smiled and introduced himself.
“That would be me, Lucas Wayne. Batman’s Little Brother.”
