though of his plan though while the world outside continues to spiral in self-destruction and he suddenly wracked in pain you see Adrian aka Ozymandias has cancer and it's spreading I cannot save our world though there is one who has the power to dr. Manhattan and no one has seen him in the years that is our mission we must find John wherever he's retreated to and another world Clark Kent is asleep in his apartment in Metropolis he dreams of his youth I'm a night at the prom the night his parents died in a tragic car accident and he awakens to Lois calling his name as he floats above the bed he was screaming Lois is scared she can't remember the last time that Superman had a nightmare and to make matters worse when asked he tells her I don't think I've ever had one the box of mime and marionettes costumes plop onto the floor when the minutemen showed up in 39 every wannabe gangster and low-rent thug rented a mask marionette explains as she paused through their old gear she remembers a time when you could go and buy a costume and a name from a tailor in the city where Shaq just looks on as the two criminals continue to put on their costume you're giving them their costumes expecting what he asks that who is working on night Ava's old ship cooperation the genius tells him expecting his a lot as the crowd responds Rorschach looks on at the villains and he knows that they see the world through a different lens that they need to be watched closely quickly mime and marionettes donned their costumes putting on the makeup that will finish their look in the past the villains attacked a bank in one of the tellers would look out from her cubicle her hand reaching down to touch the silent alarm button she jumps back up as mime shoves her face into the glass glaring at her please I didn't do anything she screams he shakes his finger at her before head-butting the glass shattering it in her face he holds his weapon pointing a non-existent gun at her what do you what she questioned marionette walks over reaching through the shattered glass to take a picture of the woman and her son the woman begins to babble but marionette tells her to be quiet and look at the person who can open the vault the villain looks a over her shoulder seeing the bank manager who is standing amongst the crowd thanks a lot Julie he cries in anger but it doesn't matter the manager tells him that it is on a timed lock in a won't open until tomorrow marionette looks bored turning back to the frightened teller in her booth Julia is it she asks still holding the photo of the woman's son Julia lets out a squeak and tells him that the manager is lying that he can open the safe anytime the man charges across the room yelling that Julia is fired after this and marionette smiles as the man continues to rant and rave a simple clap of her hands at a single wire dangles between them she flips through the air bringing that wire down slicing to the finger that the manager is using to point at everyone and the man screams as the villain pulls him in close shush in him I know I know my slicing wire hurts now did you know how to open up the vaults the air in the room steadily charges and it crackles in everyone's hair settle he stands up as they look around and shock and blue light suddenly fills the room with energy balancing off the walls as dr. Manhattan fills it mime stalks forward his non-existent pistol pointing at the hero but Manhattan or reaches his hand out pointing settle the marionette jumps in the way she yells of the hero telling him that it can't kill my name without killing her and Manhattan [ __ ] his head as if staring at something that he doesn't understand he can hear the second heartbeat coming from her uterus meanwhile back in night-owls old lair marionette is back in the current today staring down at a picture of a son that they took from her Rorschach ignores them watching the video of the pair's final heist he doesn't understand why Manhattan didn't kill them he knows the hero has killed for less that is precisely the point of Rorschach Adrian tells him I know dr. Manhattan and I even managed to convince him to leave the earth once now I need to convince him to come back he explains that marionette represents a moment in John's past one that I will use to remind him of who we once suddenly the screens go staticky and Adrian turns to see Rorschach four hours are up are the nukes in the air Rorschach looks down at his watch as Adrian powers up the machine sorry watch the machine lights up and Adrienne beckons to the two villains to get on board outside the city streets are filled with riders and looters as the end of the world nears and one points to the sky as night owls old vehicles takes to the air the missiles cruise towards the city as the owl ship takes flight with Adrienne babbling about the technology that will take them through the quantum tunnel everyone hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride the missile hits the city blowing apart the buildings and people in a fiery blast in the a low ship shakes it shudders the blast hitting the hard hull and then the world falls apart meanwhile Bruce Wayne looks dismissively at the Rorschach image before about the answers the doctor nods holding up the next one a yacht another the images is then held up a speedboat finally the doctor puts the test down questioning what is on Bruce's mind I've got a friend waiting for me at the marina he answers and I don't like to keep her waiting so if I could get your stamp of approval or whatever it is you need to do I can be on my way the billionaire answers with a bored smile walking out he falls into step with his old friend Lucius Fox that he drops the board bill interact that's the last time that I'm doing this he tells them the Lucius explains what is going on in the company if Bruce won't have more of a presence and he could be voted out by the board or Bruce knows this they need to be prepared for the worst Gotham needs Batman the to look down into the streets and the people of Gotham seem to think otherwise though they're protesting everywhere with anti Batman slogans and images of the vigilante being hung everywhere the world has gone upside down from the supermen theory they don't trust Batman anymore Lucius tells him and Bruce looks up into the night sky seeing the signal flashing into the night when have they ever over in the city the owls ship bursts through the cloud coverage and trembles as it heads towards the earth bouncing off a building and careening down its path it smashes through an old to close down ferris wheel until it finally comes to a creaking stop in the old carnival inside Adrian finally comes awake as a spark pops over his head and he turns looking through the dark cabin to find Rorschach on the floor trying to shake him patron jumps back startled this Rorschach comes to life with anger rage he gasps good you Asia and pushes through the man's confusion finally getting him to calm down what happened Rorschach gasps and Adrian smiles and nods I brought us to the universe the dr. Manhattan travelled to now you and I will have to fight him Rorschach struggles to his feet nodding to the two villains that they remain unconscious in the floor what about them quickly the duo grabs and handcuffs of mine and marionettes to the owl's ship what's going on marionettes snarls as she comes awake agent quickly explains that they need to make sure that the two villains stay put long enough for them to find Jon you know with the book apartment revealing his small creature who simply meows at him right wiper and cat leave pet here with other animals Adrian explains that the animal isn't a simple pet that she is a compass that will lead them to Jon and stepping out into the streets of Gotham the pair's start their quest with finally aja and stopping to pick up a newspaper hmm a city is called Gotham he tells his companion Gotham yes I know the two stare at the world around them which isn't wholly different from their own they need to catch up on the world that they have found themselves in and quickly head to the Gotham City Library inside the pair look at one of the computers where Adrian discovers the major differences between their worlds the biggest difference is the sheer number of men and women wearing masks he tells Rorschach I believe that it is possible to dr. Manhattan could be one of these heroes possibly wanting a second chance to save the world he continues to search through the computer realizing that they have to find someone to help them on this world I have identified two of the smartest people on the planet Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne Rorschach nod suggesting that they split up it'll be quicker which ones you want Adrian grins the smartest of course meanwhile at Wayne Manor Rorschach slips quietly through a window making his way through the dark matter until he finds a stack of pancakes in the kitchen he sits in the study ready to dig into his impromptu meal but a loose piece of paper suddenly blows across the floor by a draft the hero investigates finding a draft coming from beneath an old grandfather clock he know it's the time seeing that it's wrong and then he Yanks pulling the hidden door open and heading down into the dark cave meanwhile in the city Batman looks up as a sensor from the cave suddenly goes off in his cowl and at Lex Corp Lex Luthor enters his office to discover someone standing yeah excuse me how did you get in here Adrian doesn't even bother to look at him I let myself in I am the smartest man on my earth and you are the smartest man on yours quickly he explains the past events to Luther filling him in on everything that happened up to this point and finally Luther turns of the men who invaded his office if you were the smartest men on your earth then I hate to meet the dumbest suddenly he senses movement from behind and Adrian dodges out of the way as a gun goes off in the shadows the round hits Luther and Adrian turn shot to see who is stepping out of the darkness last time you came at me I was confused drunk the comedian smiles around his cigar as he holds up the pistol this time I'm ready for you Adrian in the cave Rorschach wanders through admiring the various keepsakes that Batman has kept here over the years and then he senses movement and turns around you ate my breakfast Batman comments yeah I did the bottle of gin smashes hard against the wall shattering with Edward Blake staggering as Adrian cracks him across the jaw he keeps coming smashing his head against the picture frame knocking him to the ground with a blood dripping from his mouth and nose as the man lifts him up the ground throwing him hard through the window and into the night air he falls plummeting towards the hard cement below the air rushes past him as the ground comes up fast and he hits the water hard it shocks him his mouth his nose filled with cold salty seawater he comes up gasping shocked to see the Sun over the city that he doesn't recognize and finally he arrives on a beach he falls taking huge gulps of fresh air hello Blake a voice calls out to him he struggles to get up still confused how he was here Ozymandias just battled against him in his own penthouse apartment he should be dead Jacque he questions between gasps what am I doing here present day the two begin to fight in Lex Luthor's office is the billionaire lays on the ground bleeding Blake blocks a kick and knocks Adrian into the window hard enough to crack it ah wish I had a goddamn camera that's stupid look in your face Adrian jumps hitting the light switch on Luther's desk plunging them into darkness the lake just lasts again he's never been afraid of the dark he is the comedian a pen comes flying out of the shadows slashing the community and across the face and Adrian comes out of attacking now through a kick and a punch at his enemy clearly John has something to do with this where is he more blows hit Edward Blake staggering and with Asians slipping on the blood his next blow miss and given the comedian a chance to counter-attack Blake draws a pistol rapidly firing with the rounds missing Adrian each time as he dodges he smiles drawing another pistol but Adrian doesn't give him time at leaping through the open window plummeting to the earth below he talked to rolls he bounces off the overhang to slow himself and then he leaps across the street landing on a window cleaning scaffolding that snaps beneath him another swing another roll he finally comes to a stop as he slams on the roof of a parked car and blacks out you shouldn't be here Batman tells Rorschach you are trespassing at a very dangerous place Rorschach tries to explain to Batman why he came that he needs his help but his words come up broken and confused finally the hero stopped taking his head into his hands wait easier to explain he begins his hands starting to reach through his pockets and he mumbles as he searches bringing looks of concern to Batman when finally the man pulls out a beaten-up leather journal Kovacs journal please read this elsewhere in the city my man marionette step free of the allo ship there cuffs laying useless on the floor Adrian has no idea who we are marionette curses as she steps out never should have joined that freak show before he told us where her boy was the two walk through the carnival finally stopping when they see the lights of Gotham in the distance they see Jersey come on lover let's get a drink back at the cave Rorschach stands by as Batman is sitting reading the journal he checks his watch what page 1 he finally asks and Batman turns staring at the intruder for that's it with the side Batman finally tells them these you go upstairs and get some rest meanwhile at the old folks home several of the seniors are yelling at the television as the reporter discusses the protests in Gotham where the citizens are calling for Batman to reveal his identity an old man stands up staring at the window into the night mr. thunder mr. thunder you need eh or dinner he tells him but mr. thunder just tells the man that he's alright my granddaughter and son are coming to take me out meanwhile the seniors continue to yell as the news switches to discussions about the Superman theory which has said that certain metahumans were created on purpose or something called the Department metahuman Affairs the orderly tries to convince mr. Thunder to eat it's after 10 o'clock but I wore my best suit he whispers sadly back in Wayne Manor Rorschach stops looking into the guest room he grumbles and he explains that he didn't need a big room yes well I've taken you to every guest room that we have Alfred begins as he enters the room behind the man and this is the smallest Alfred offers to take the man's clothes and make him some tea but war Shack isn't much of a tea drinker instead asking for more pancakes Alfred finally walks two out of the room leaving Rorschach to his own devices and once he's found me alone he takes off his mask revealing the face beneath stepping into the bathroom and starting a hot shower he needs to get clean he needs to wash it off he scrubs his head harder and harder blood begins to drip down but it still isn't enough and he scrubs harder and harder and Gotham City alone comedian stands on a stage at the jumping jacks bar he cracks a joke and a bottle sails out of the crowd cutting into his face and knocking him down now time we got a laugh someone from the crowd shouted as the laughter fills the room well isn't this place lovely married it to comments as they step through the door she orders a drink but doesn't get to walk in very far before somebody's shouting at her what do you think you're doing here a big man asks you can't wear makeup in here like that the boss don't like it the big man glares at them showing his hand tattoo that proclaims that this is the Joker's turf marionette looks confused asking who this joker was waving everyone's sudden anger you all don't need to stand up we just want to drink she says turning away from the goons but the big man is there one hand pulling her head back while the other places the knife to her cheek you disrespect a boss like that I'm gonna cut a smile any a pretty face mime steps up is non-existent gun pointing at the man's face and the other goons laugh with the man sneering at mine pulls the trigger but there's no sound and a bright flash of roughs from the empty air and the man falls a bullet passing through his skull mine grins turning the gun on the rest of the crowd the goons I'll jump on but he twists firing again he twists again dodging a bottle and firing in his hand flicks as a knife is being held in it and another thug drops blood pouring out a stab wound in his throat marionette collapse pulling her slicing string out she twists and dance cutting off a man's face severing the barrel of a gun and then a man's hand later the two sit in a bar having a drink with a marionette two turning and the bar now being a scene of death and chaos around them what do you say we find this Joker images and nightmares are flashing to Rorschach's mind though while this is going on and he sees the monster suddenly appearing before him and a bright the light and he sits up screaming it's okay you're safe Bruce tells him by his bedside I read the journal I know where dr. Manhattan is later the truck rolls through the gates of the Arkham Asylum Batman pulls Voracek to his feet telling him to follow his lead he leads him down the dark corridors of the asylum looking at his tracker down here signals getting stronger they stop with Batman looking through a dark door he's in here Rorschach steps into the shadows of the cell calling from Manhattan but the door clanks shut behind him no Rorschach kisses as he turns back to Batman and the other side of the bars I'm sorry but you you belong here Rorschach rushes to the bar screaming killing over this cut out your eyes Batman walks away - screams echoing through the hallway around [Music] the cook drops a pile of slop on to Reggie's plate he stare straight ahead barely noticing the world around him and to the cook yells for him to move the line of the cafeteria of Arkham shuffles forward and Reggie with it zebra man brushes against him from behind offering to protect him promising to treat him very gently I protect my property he promises Reggie looks into the man's eyes his mind flashing back to his childhood his own world he's a boy sitting on the floor as the news discusses the dark turn the world is taking his parents talk behind him talking about the future the world that they live in his father is a therapist waiting for his big break waiting for his time to write a book now he's back in arc of the guards dragging him down the hallways screaming blood dripping from his mouth as he spits out a chunk of zebra man's flesh onto the floor now he's back in college talking to his mother on the phone while the people protest the war and dr. Manhattan's involvement behind them why didn't you tell me mom he asks having seen a report of his father beginning to work with the recently captured Rorschach she tells him not to worry that he's making some real headway with the costumed hero they've even become friends she tells him but he doesn't like the tone of her voice that night Reggie packs a bag and he loads it into his car with the threat of war classes have been cancelled and intends to visit his parents he listens to the radio as he's stuck in traffic in the city when suddenly there is a bright light and a buzzing noise fills his brain his eyes go wide and it begins to scream into that bright light he's screaming and Arkham right now in current day struggling to get free but he stops as that door opens good afternoon I'm dr. Matthew Mason a therapist tells him with a smile as he enters the room he begins to talk asking Reggie his name mentioning that none of his DNA fingerprints or dental records match any database Reggie stares as an eye opens on the man's forehead and the creature looks at him he recoils back from the shock millions died in the attack of the creatures in his world Ozymandias opened up a portal into another universe and invited monsters to invade world thousands survived but their minds were broken and hospitals were overflowing he was in his car he was stuck in traffic the fireman asked him to lean back on the glass but Reggie can't hear them and the glass shatters at that time and the men pulled him free but he was still screaming he was still struggling Reggie is now in the mental institution fighting against the orderlies day after day driven mad by the sights that he had seen that day and at night he screams and he could still see them he could see them all until finally he breaks free rushing through the building to the roof that's what he stepped on the legend he screamed into the moonlight he beat his head against the wall and he finally stopped and he turned and a man stands nearby a sheet blowing around him in the night breeze hi nice a night fought the old man says not even looking over his shoulder you're gonna jump - Reggie asks strangely calm down oh no the old man says with a smile looking over his shoulder I can fly he steps off the ledge throwing the sheet away from his naked body Reggie watches as the handmade moth like wings unfurl from the man's back and he stares stunned as the man flaps away in the moonlight even when the orderlies finally up here and they wrestle him to the ground Reggie is too stunned to fight back now he's back in the hospital with the doctor holding up a Rorschach test asking him what he sees the image of his parents dead in front of him flashes in his mind but finally he calms down a moth he finally tells them his days in the hospital passed slowly Byron the former Mothman was returned and the two became friends the world continues on the outside with adrian veidt's working alongside the world leaders to rebuild to their world the one that he destroyed but back in Arkham Reggie is returned to his cell he could hear a voice in his head calling his name years past in his world and Reggie and Byron became good friends Reggie was sick of being pushed around rage filling up inside of him he had no one to blame the creature that had killed so many and left so many others broken mentally was dead Byron taught him to fight to channel his anger he fought back against the orderlies that pushed around the patient's strike out against their mistreatment and finally in October of 1992 the world learnt the truth Adrian Veidt was suspected of orchestrating the alien attack of creating the creature that left Reggie's mind snapped and broken and had killed his parents and killed millions everything's changed I have someone to blame he thinks to himself and that night he packs his meager belongings but why biron asks him standing by his bed in the dark I stay and I get shipped off to a government psych center while the rest of the world gets their hands on fight Reggie hisses what if he didn't do it did it anyone can see it Reggie answers angrily and that night they set the laundry on fire and they sound the alarm with everyone rushing in Reggie and Byron escape into the woods the hospital burning down around them but Byron stops turning back to stare at the glow of the fire why are you stopping Reggie asks his friend and Byron finally looks over his shoulder it's been calling me he says pulling off his jacket to reveal the moth wings again he walks forward ignoring Reggie's cries for his friend and Reggie watches as Byron disappears into the flames a moth drawn to the light later Reggie would find the map that Byron had left him the letter telling him where to find adrian veidt's secret lair the mask once having belonged to war Shaq and Reggie would push through the Arctic his journey long and anguished the last night of his journey he drew out the mask pulling and on over his head he became Rorschach he pushed onward in the blinding snow finally entering the secret lair of the man who had killed his parents he stepped through that building crossing through the great chambers passing rows of computer screens and he entered a medical room with his prey sitting nearby head in his hands Rorschach moves slowly drawing a scalpel from one of the trays and stalking forward if you're here to kill me I might thank you if you make it quick whoever you are Adrian turns staring at the men you're obviously not Kovacs who tells him as surprised as I am that you are dressed like him I know why you're here because what I did the mistake that I made Adrian tells him mistake you killed my parents Reggie tells him beginning to slam his fists into the side of his own head creasing of creature ruptured eardrums a child's body burst opened like a balloon full of spaghetti sauce he roars an anger lashing out slamming Adrian against the wall he presses the scalpel to the man's throat drawing a bead of blood the do it make the world cheer at celebration Rorschach adrian tells him a tear forming in his eyes i wanted the world to see a monster but i am the monster what have I done he opens his eyes staring into Rorschach's face I'm sorry I saw the light the words make Reggie pause and he thinks a Byron and he drops Adrian Veidt they both sent to the floor back in his cell at Arkham in the current day Reggie hears a voice this time he looks up and he sees a blond woman standing at his cell door I'm Jane Doe I've been in your mind for a few days and whoa what a busy place we need to get you out of here before it's too late I won't be around much longer she smiles at him light seeping through the door she opens the cell and Reggie holds out his hand who are you a friend the doctors look at the man's x-rays showing no signs of any distress in Adrian's brain his man was lucky he fell 20 stories and all he ended up with it was a fractured rib and a Paloma narak contusion other than that he's perfectly fine the doctors leave the room leaving only the police to stand outside the drugs he was given should keep the man out for hours but as the door closes Adrian Veidt opens up his eyes he sits up gritting his teeth in pain and he tries to move but his hand is cuff outside the two officers react as quickly as they hear the beep of Adrian flatlining with him they rush inside and they find the man lying quietly in bed forget it could downgrade the five-alarm when officer states reaching for the Fallen sensor his senses came loose that's all yes I pulled them loose to bring you back in here Adrian tells him his voice startling them as he holds up the unlocked handcuffs so I could get the keys to my cuff now please sir take off your uniform the officers reach with their guns anger flashing in their eyes and moments later Adrian enters the parking garage dressed in the officer's uniform with his gun pressed into the back of his partner they come up behind several other officers in an animal control worker who wonders at the sight a Bubastis uniform and my cat he tells him pointing his weapon at their backs I'd like them both back minutes later but bastards meows as Adrienne points the van out of the parking garage and rumbles down the road elsewhere in the city Rorschach and his new friend have broken into a used clothing store I can't wear real leather it's outlawed where I come from Jane Doe yells where did you come from Rorschach asks pulling his belongings from Arkham's evidence back never mind it's fake she says ignoring him and pulling on a jacket don't even know your name not important but you can call me Saturn girl Saturn reaches into her own bag pulling free a gold ring with an L and a star engraved on it need to find Manhattan Rorschach tells her at the to step into the night air any ideas oh yes we need to find a great light Saturn girl tells him meanwhile over in a retirement home the orderlies open up the door to Johnny Thunders room but the old man is gone a Nathaniel dusk movie plays in the background as the men investigate the sheets that were tied to the bedpost to allow the elderly man to climb out the window a newspaper laying next to the bed tells of a mysterious green fire that spread within an old steel mill across town mr. Thunder stares out the bus window into the rainy night as he heads towards Pittsburgh and back at the crash site of night owls old ship Adrienne slides opened the door holding Bubastis in his hands yes they're gone he answers he notes answering his pets inquisitive meow you must be Adrian Veidt a voice calls into shadows an agent tries to find Batman sitting in the pilot's seat with Rorschach's journal in his hands I've read all about you he tells I'm holding up the leather-bound journal lights flash outside and Batman stares at the viewport seeing two police cruisers grow closer what do you want with my world he asks I don't want any trouble but it seems that's all you have to offer Adrien notes taking his seat at the aircraft controls we know you're in there come out with your hands over your head the police call over their loudspeakers lights still flashing in the dark the officers fall back there was the airship Rises into the sky the ship floats through the night sky as Batman watches out the viewport Rorschach escaped he tells the atria turning back to him of course he did but we have more immediate concerns beneath them the streets of Gotham teem with people riders protesting the exploits of Batman and they look up seeing the ship above and they shake their signs at it it stops now Batman tells the Adrian gritting his teeth but Veidt smiles and Batman thinks that he is responsible for the troubles that have overtaken his city his world I've read and seen enough to know that you are tripping over your own capes playing a game of tag while the world falls apart around you Veidt tells The Dark Knight meanwhile over in Pittsburgh a bus finally pulls to a stop and Johnny Thunder steps off standing before the all-american steel mill rain falling on his bald head he ignores the no trespassing signs and he makes his way inside and out of the rain they must have tried to melt it down with the rest of the scrap he notes staring at the pipes that have burst apart as it torn through with incredible energy he turns voices echoing in the building behind him and three drug addicts see him stopping short he's security yeah maybe he got something one notes as the three move towards them they reach out they're too skinny arms they're rotting teeth and stale breath blowing into Johnny's face give me what you got they snarl give you a wallet or I'll poke your eyes out Johnny pushes them away trying to run but the thugs just laugh will get me a 5-second at start old man over in Gotham Adrian continues to evade the police choppers while berating Batman on his colleagues failure to fix the world that they were given you're too busy putting these super villains into prisons with revolving doors you've ignored the world's real problems he tells him and Batman reaches for him trying to stop him but the aircraft smashes into the side of a building throwing the Dark Knight to the floor outside the riots have continued in my 'men marionette stepping out onto the GCPD rooftop where some thugs are throwing the bat-signal into the street below is it this lively I hope they have fireworks marionette laughs Adrian pulls up Batman tumbling back rolling across the floor what have you tried to do to make your world a better place Adrian asks rolling the craft mat Mia doubles again this time falling out the open hatch he plummets towards the streets of Gotham and the angry crowd below reaching for his grappling gun he fires it he swings on the tethered line in the crowd reaches for him trying to pull him down fists in feet begin to pummel him blood spurting from his nose meanwhile at the steel mill Johnny rounds to corner the crowing cackles of Doug's echoing behind him he stops short his eyes falling at the sight of the Green Lantern sitting before him I found it he cries triumphantly as he picks it up but it's ripped from his hands and fists began to rain blows on his aging face the green light fills the ground as he's knocked to the floor one of the addicts raises the lantern prepared to bring it down on thunders face but a club comes out cracking hard against the man's bone snapping it he falls always screaming as Rorschach steps forward launching into a fight with the remaining addicts mr. thunder Saturn girl asks of reaching to comfort the old man don't worry about them she tells him pulling his head away they were going to die of an overdose tonight anyway meanwhile over in Gotham marionette looks down into the crowd below which have begun to crawl over the destroyed bat-signal this is fun she laughs you two have caused me a little trouble tonight a voice calls from behind them in the villains turn to see the Joker walking across the rooftop a smile on his face hey boss one of the goons calls I'm turning with anger he stops looking down at the beatin body of Batman before him at the steel mill Rorschach turns away from the beaten bodies of the addicts on the ground and he reaches for the green lantern he turns back to Johnny Thunder holding it aloft tell us what is Lantern [Music] on her world a young Erica Manson sits hiding beneath the counter in her father's puppet store tell us what the doll is old man someone shouts her father is not to the floor in front of her and Erica cries out tears in her eyes and the present-day marionette and mime are walking down a sewer tunnel their hands held up by the Joker's goons who are pointing guns at their backs I can't have you and cat got his tongue charged wheeling around the town slaughtering men like pigs pushing the broken bat man in a wheelchair before him it makes me look bad our mistake won't happen again marionette tells him with a smile but Joker smiles wider telling her I would usually cut off your face but I'm not in the mood the bat at last miss mine they suddenly stop seeing three of mr. Freeze's goons lost in the tunnels ahead the men seemed scared as the Joker and his crew grow ever closer the men seemed lost and the Joker smiles why I have a proposition for you lost souls ditch the parkas and join the Joker the men look at each other for a moment he's our kinda hot one huh pulling off his hood shaky where are you pumpkin Joker calls and from behind the rest comes a small man covered in tattoos and his shaking a hand he holds up a tattoo gun ready to welcome our new guests to the circle he stutters marionette watches as her thoughts of race back to her childhood when she was a little girl in her father's shop when she first met Marcos Mia's whose family owned the store across the street she saw him through the window and put on a puppet show for him when she looked again that boy was gone she turns startled to find the quiet boy standing next to her in the shop uh hi my name's Erica who are you but Marcos remains silent staring around at the hundreds of puppets that Dingle off the walls I know the shop leaves a lot of people speechless for the first time when they see it she smiles tugging at the boy's arm as because they'll lead him away showing him around back in the tunnels though my man Marian had to look on a shaky because the tattoo the new recruits bringing screams of pain and the Joker smiles looking back at them over his shoulder all right I'm in a generous mood apology accepted you to which what do you wants to go next Marian it shakes her head clapping her hands together pulling free her wire tattooed by mr. jitters over there pass she snarls and moving fast she severs the gun of the closest goon hey mine let's teach them how to wink she smiles and mine nods jamming his finger into another's eye sockets bringing screens a pain and spouts a blood oh no Joe lose your head boys Joker calls pulling free a pistol that's why they call you the Joker that one was a bit on the nose Joker aims his pistol at the man that mine is beating and fires the round cuts through the head of the Joker's thug dropping him to the floor oh well that's embarrassing everyone stares and shocked but the Joker just smiles turning back to Batman pushing him down the tunnel well played he calls over his shoulder gun now everyone we wouldn't want to be later than we already are back in her world and an earlier time young Erica was walking down the street with her marionette puppet when she was stopped by the neighborhood kids why are you always smiling it creeps everyone out like your dad does well kind of creepy old man plays with dolls they tell her if the kids take the doll from her throwing her to the ground and hitting her they call her down a pedophile suddenly glass bottle sail out of the air cracking hard against the kids heads drawing blood Marco stands by ready with another bottle and the ringleader tries to run away but Erica chases her down tackling her and making her apologize Eric returns back to Marcos with a smile on her face did you have another bottle she asks but back in the tunnels the Joker pulls a sight occur in revealing a large chamber before them he motions with his arms to the gathering of super villains in the room all this talk of the Superman theory has gotten everyone's tights in a bunch they're huddled up as the Legion of evil or secret society of Doom whatever name they've laid that on this time he tells them pushing a Batman forward isn't this world of wonderful there are so many of them Meredith's eyes looking at all of the villains let's wheel Batsy down there and Surprise them he whispers with glee within the room the Riddler stands atop one of the old subway cars trying to convince the group that they need to come together that they need to find the traitors that are within their mist such as the government made supervillain typhoon but he stops short as he's interrupted gentlemen The Joker calls entering the room with mime and marionette flanking him I interrupt this repetitive affair to which reduce my new friends marionette and who you again he suddenly asks and then he pushes Batman forward with two-face calling out from the back who's the Batman I mean this time how many fools have you dressed up like Batman and peddled around here Joker a few I admit the Riddler tries to get the meeting back on track but some of the villains move forward wanting to get the possible traitor out of the room Thai food suddenly powers up knocking penguin away and he turns to the group anger in his voice I will kill of but his words are interrupted as his head subtly explodes with the impact of a bullet and chaos erupts into the chamber as the villains begin to run in every direction I see smoke the joker smiles looking into the dark corner of the room and in those shadows the comedian looks down the site of his rifle again aiming for marionettes but the woman dodges and one of the court of the owls drops to the floor instead mine leaps up onto the subway car and Blake takes aim that's right you crazy son of a [ __ ] say cheese but his sight is blocked as Giganta suddenly appears before him swinging her massive fist forcing him to jump away he lands amongst the villains who then begin to crowd over here we go he sighs pulling out his 45 and if he goes to fire nicking the villains and forcing them to scatter Riddler yells for him to stop but a round destroys his kneecap forcing him to the ground and mine and marionettes run as a grenade explodes 300 what a perfect day this turned out to be Joker smiles staring at all of the destruction before him and mine begins the slope wanting to draw the comedian's attention you're not gonna draw his fire marionette yells at him that's the damn comedian it's Jerry's Lake yells stalking towards them through the smoke meanwhile in a previous time in her father's workshop Erica hides under the counter as her father is beat she calls to him when he sit to the ground but the men discover her dirty cops and they drag her free and threaten her so that her father gives up the protection money videos afterwards her father clutches her as they both ball and tears the next day Erica entered the shop after school and she found her father had too hung himself in the back room and looking down she discovered the note that he left it told her to take the money in the register and run the bell over the door chimes and the dirty cops enter startled to find the young girl and her dead father she snarls grabbing her father's scissors and she rushed at the two men she stabbed the sharp metal unto the first ones neck drawing great spurts of blood that brought him to his knees and the other cop pulls her off throwing her heart against a wall he pulled his gun but Marcos comes out of the shadows biting onto the man's wrist throwing him I'll snap your neck he snarls but Erica is behind him now strangling him with puppet wire that man died foaming at the mouth and meanwhile back in Gotham the two villains have hidden in a motel marionettes yelling and my not wanting him to go out to draw the convenient attention you're not gonna leave me to die so that I can run she tells him memories of their lives flashing before her eyes of them living on the streets of them fighting to stay alive of them falling in love becoming villains her giving birth to their son while in prison and later the two lay in each other's arms in bed the thing about you freaks you don't cover your tracks very well Roy tells them stepping out of the shadows in their room pistol aimed at the I only need one of you to tell me where Ozymandias is which is it going to be he smiles suddenly his face goes rigid he follows to the floor revealing the Joker standing in the open doorway behind him his joy-buzzer still smoking he reaches down pulling free the smiley face button and he clips it onto his jacket I like you too you're making me laugh marionette stands looking down at Edward I was just thinking I bet the comedian knows what dr. Manhattan is doctor dr. Manhattan who's that I could use a good dentist it hurts when I smile the rain pours down as were shocked Saturn girl and Johnny Thunders stand under a bus-stop overhang the Green Lantern lowing in war shakes hands as he turns to the old man he's my best friend I've been looking for him for a long time Johnny smiles looking at the lantern you have a magic Genie Rorschach asks looking at the lantern in his hand Jamie's a man turn like Aladdin Saturn girl looks at the mass hero a smile on her face don't sound so skeptical a light will help you find dr. Manhattan she tells him suddenly the three are bathed in light with Rorschach looking up at the searchlight of night-owls ship glaring down at them he mutters and inside Thunder looks around and wonder as Rorschach begins to talk to Adrian vite not that I don't mind meeting new and interesting people Rorschach but who are they my name is Emre aardeen i'm designated as saturn girl I'm a telepath from the 30th century she tells him with a flash of a smile didn't mention that last part when we met Rorschach tells Adrian with a pause where did you find her Arkham Asylum of course you did Adrian sighs and the news begins to play on the screen behind them showing the world its distrust of the superheroes an image of Superman saving children and bangja Z runs next and the newscaster explains that despite all the world has maintained trust and the Man of Steel Superman's why I served the Legion of super-heroes sent here to cleanse the timestream of the unknown anomaly that threatens him Saturn girl tells them placing her hand against the screen reconsidering my suggestion of bringing them with rorshach nods I would imagine Adrienne agrees he said Lee lurches forward clutching his head at Rorschach places his hand on his back asking him how long you have maybe none at all Adrienne tells him I'm a bass this begins to be how his eyes and mouth glowing blue what's cat doing where our sheykh asks Adrian explains about bass this is linked to John and is getting his scent from both the lantern and the two others on the ship when it comes to dr. Manhattan there are no coincidences Adrian tells his partner meanwhile elsewhere in Gotham do I see a smile Joker asks because if I don't see a smile well I can make one Edward Blake looks up the strange clown now in front of him struggling to ask where he is the Joker's funhouse hideout surrounds them with all of its flashing lights and bright poppy the Clown Prince of Crime that comes forward pinching the man's cheeks you've caused quite a stir with my brethren but I will give you five stars for that shot to Edward nygma what's green red and missing a kneecap behind the marionette is admiring the Joker's wall of weapons and power tools don't be shy lai ohm is your home he calls out and the woman takes hold of a power drill stepping forward to the restrained comedian she leans forward to Manning to know how the comedian arrived in this world how he didn't die why don't you want to cuff me and I'll show you sweetheart the drill is driven into his arm spouting blood and screams tell us where dr. Manhattan is and I'll only drill into your arm who knows where and when that [ __ ] is Blake Spitz all Doc asked me to do was take beats cat okay I was just having a bit of fun with the two of you marionettes brings the drill close to the man's arm again but she's interrupted when mine taps her making an image of bat ears with his fingers the two look over to see the darknet has freed himself and is stalking across the room he throws a smoke bomb into two villains leap at him but he barely ducks underneath Marian as Gary as it shears off one of the ears on his cowl the kick sends her across the room though with mime firing his invisible gun the round cracks a window instead though who I didn't see that's coming outside though the night our ship is hovering outside of a building adrián prepares to step out to telling thunder and Saturn that they should wait behind he takes the lantern from them basking in its glow inside Batman tosses mime away throwing his hands up in time to stop marionettes wire from cutting off his head he screams in pain and anger though as the wire cuts into his wrist a burst of flames erupted from the other side of the room as Joker places a flamethrower between his legs is that a flamethrower in your pocket who are you just happy to see me no time for laughing Rorschach grumbles behind him and on the other side of the room Batman steps through the smoke brushing the flames off of his cape Rorschach I was wrong about you he growls an adrian agrees stepping into the room he greets Blake above bass just meows as his eyes glow blue what the hell is so special about that cat Blake asks from his chair and the cat begins to glow brighter and brighter and energy begins to crackle between the cat in the lantern Baba's deceives John's Tim poriyal fingerprint on this Lantern and you Edward as she feeds John should feel a strong Poulter to deny it would prove painful the energy being is to shoot out around the room with Adrian crying out John I demand that you show yourself suddenly the energy stopped and dr. Manhattan stands in the centre of the room hello John I know who you are Batman growls and Joker throws up his hands shielding his eyes on the naked doctor manette whoever you are but kalau is on for God's sake or at least for mine John doesn't do anything though instead he seemingly traces a circle around himself and the others from his world what what is he doing feat Rorschach asks an Adrian steps forward still holding his cat I'm sorry for summoning you here like that John but we need to talk Batman and the Joker shield their eyes as the room is filled with a bright flash a blue light the group of strangers is suddenly gone the circle on the floor appears floating over a waterfall in a deep jungle so let's talk Jon tells him Adrianne stands before Jon asking him to return to their world to save it you've come a long way for nothing Adrian I'm not going back he tells them John tells them that he is in the middle of something that he knows that Adrienne brought marionette and mime here to try and appeal to his humanity you believe that I was hesitant to use extreme force when I learned that Erica Manson was pregnant he says turning to look at the woman but it did not spare you because you were pregnant I saw what your child would do and I chose to save him John tells her marionette crosses the small space angry demanding to know where her child is what will he do what child John asks stunning her you're pregnant again the two villains look at each other before pulling one another into a tight embrace you will not change my mind Adrian I'm disappointed in you I was I am I will be he tells the man at Rorschach steps war tried to convince John Adrian has changed dying from cancer John pauses glancing at vite Adrian does not have cancer Rorschach doesn't understand an Asian tries to calm him but Reggie grabs the man you tell him the truth Adrian because you know I will John explains reaching out for the butterfly that is floating by him Adrian looks at Rorschach explaining that he lied to him because he needed him Reggie you see what I want you to see you saw a man that wanted to fix the things that he broke you were the mask of the man you believe to be your father's friend and reality Rorschach broke your father your parents didn't die in each others arms they were separated because your mother was so unhappy no no Rorschach snarls his hands tightening around Adrian's throat is a drew Rorschach demands the world shifting around them and their small space is now floating over the rioting crowds that are filling the streets of Washington DC it is Manhattan tells him and Adrian struggles to ask John why he came to this world and John explains at first I thought I would live among them I saw a vision of them most hopeful I was hopeless but then I saw nothing the world flashes again and now they are floating above a movie screen showing a Nathaniel dusk movie John the looks of the actors explaining I once knew the man named Carver Coleman what does that have to do with anything Adrian asks but John holds up his hand we've talked enough the world flashes again and they are now back at the Joker's hideout but dr. Manhattan is no longer with the Adrian reaches down for Bob Asta's hoping to get John back but Rorschach lashes down kicking him in the face he falls in the vigilante falls on top of him raining blows on him The Joker last shocking Batman with his buzzer and he reaches up for Rorschach offering some constructive criticism of Rorschach turns throwing the clown to the ground beginning to beat on him the Joker is laughing reaching up tracing a bloody smile onto Rorschach's mask and he looks up to find that mime marionette and Adrian are all gone outside Saturn girl and Johnny Thunders look up as the hatch door opens up revealing a broken and bloodied agent he pulls himself inside and when the to try to help he knocks at him go aside and throws thunder back with a strong kick and he struggles to the pilot's seat Shawn refuses to call he stutters but with the knowledge that I have the fastest I realized I can save more than our worlds I could save this one two I could save everything and everyone I have a plan John appears on Mars stepping off the small circle of the floor that he has brought from the hideout visions of an angry Superman coming at him flash in his mind as he begins to walk across the barren landscape a picture drifts along the dusty ground does Superman destroy me or do I destroy everything [Music] but fastest yawns his mouth stretching wide as he sits on the floor of the Oval Office the seal of the President of the United States beneath him behind him bathed in moonlight that floods of the windows Adrienne vite holds up the file that he was looking for yes yes this one will do nicely he whispers to himself back at the Daily Planet Lois and Clark stand talking to Perry White as he leans out of his office yelling for Lois to finish a story that she owes it I'm working on it chief she promises and when she turns back to her desk she finds an envelope addressed to her with no return she reaches forward curiosity overcoming her breaking news from Moscow the news subtly blares behind her bringing everyone's attention to the TV and Clark comes over putting his arm around his wife as they watch the events unfolding the reporters confirmed the nuclear hero known as firestorm has invaded Russia when the country began to round up citizens that they believed had a meta-gene speculation that he is connected to the Superman theory continues although firestorm has intensely denied the accusations the reporter states and Lois looks at her husband questioning him firestorm wasn't created by some secret government program Lois Clark tells her Ronnie Raymond and Martin Stein were in a nuclear accident that fused them together Ronnie is in control of the body while the professor advises him telepathically Ronnie's just a kid known for his temper the news continues to show the fight as Perry leans out of his office again screaming who wants to go to Russia and both Lois and Clark raise their hands meanwhile over in Moscow firestorm and paws are trade their blasts of fiery energy with paws arse teammates lashing out eventually bringing the nuclear hero to the ground with his fire extinguished firestorm drops into the Russian crowd below hands reaching for him as the crowd at lashes out and Ron it against the scream let go of me his fire ignites it begins to blast over the crowd and when the flames recede Ronnie stands looking out at the crowd of people that have turned to glass around him he stares fear and sorrow on his face like my god what did I do I didn't mean to he disappears into the air disappearing a blaze of fire but back at the bugle reporters all stare at the news report did did he kill those people Jimmy asks done it can't be what it looks like can it Clark Lois asks and when she looks back behind her Clark has gone on a gust of wind and with a whoosh everyone sees Superman streak past the window headed out of the country but Superman doesn't head to Moscow and in the capital of conduct the hero known as the creeper looks up from handing a child an apple a bird a Blaine a Superman he chuckles as the Man of Steel lands nearby offering him away Superman looks up as Giganta steps up to him and the two not at each other with the supervillain leading the Man of Steel's of their leader's throne hello Superman black Adam calls sitting on his throne leaning on his arm he stands stalking across the room to stand before Superman a moment passes and the ruler extends his arm offering it welcome to conduct the to shake their hands with Black Adam leading Superman around to the castle showing him that the metahumans and the humans both lived there peacefully hero and villain alike and gone duck all are welcome Black Adam tells them even firestorm that is why you're here is it not the Black Adam tells them that firestorm has not come to conduct despite what the rumors state and the to share a conversation where Superman tells Adam to make sure that he doesn't try to cross any forest to take the law into his own hands when you find firestorm tell them that he's willing human contact Black Adam tells him and with their conversation complete Superman turns and flies away but later Lois sits at her desk at the planet talking to Clark on the phone the to believe that Ronnie never left Russia and Clark hangs up with Lois telling him to be careful she turns once again noticing the envelope with her name on it and she reaches inside to discover a flash drive who sent me this she asks plugging it into the computer nobody presents American news the loud voice narrates as a World War 2 news reel because to play it's April 2nd 1941 as the war rages overseas back home there's trouble saboteurs slice fascists the voice calls out Louis leads for trying to figure out what this is images of teams of superheroes flash across the screen and only the Justice Society of America can stop them Louis leans closer not recognizing any of those superheroes who the hell is the Justice Society of America she questions meanwhile Superman lands in the dark city of Chernobyl he stops listening closely hearing the voice of firestorm coming out of one of the abandoned buildings inside he finds firestorm lashing out with his atomic energies he cries that Superman steps into the room seeing one of the small children that Ronnie turned to glass you have to show me how to do it professor tell me how to do it Ronnie pleads falling to his knees Superman comes up behind the young man trying not to startle him what happened Ronnie he asks softly he puts his hand on the man's shoulder assuring him that he doesn't want a fight I'm not here to hurt you what happened to those people he asks nodding towards the glass child's tears fill Ronnie's eyes as he explains that he's only ever been able to transform elements nothing organic you're trying to bring the boy back Superman nods and Ronnie follows up nodding with him telling him the Stein doesn't think it's possible you did it once Ronnie maybe it was an accident or a trigger through stress maybe your powers are evolving I don't know but you did it you can do it again Ronnie nods promising to try again he warns Superman that he should leave that he might detonate if he's unstable as Superman smiles putting his hand on the man's shoulder as he moves to step behind him I'm not leaving I'll be fine Ronnie Ronnie nas preparing himself he blasts out hitting the glass child with all of his energy he pours it on with a blast he's thrown backwards smoking and the room clears and the small child looks up at them it's Superman smiles at him Superman provides the Man of Steel greets him waving we did it firestorm Cheers from the floor smiling and crying Superman picks the boy assuring firestorm that he is okay everyone else in Moscow will be as well it's going to be all right Ronny he sure is him tears fill the young man's eyes Thank You Superman he smiles near the site of the incident in Russia Vladimir Putin has called together a press conference he confirms that firestorms act of aggression against the Russian people is seen as an act of war by an American agent says the man is known to be part of the supermen theory we are at war Putin confirms I was hoping I could convince you otherwise sir Superman calls descending from above welcome Superman thank you for coming I assume you overhead to help Putin greets him Superman confirms that he is that he steps onto the podium a Superman addresses the crowd he asks that they try not to demonize the metahuman population I know the Superman theory is nothing more than a giant life on his way to Moscow Batman is listening to the broadcast and he flicks a switch sending a signal that only Clark can hear Clark it's Bruce you need to stop talking keep your mouth shut don't pick a side back on stage Putin steps forward to Manning the Superman stomach I have proof firestorm is an American agent Superman this was an attack against the people of Russia he tells the Man of Steel the Superman tries to explain that firestorm can change the people back but he's interrupted as Ronnie suddenly lands amongst the people everyone big is the scatter in fear as the military moves in and no one notices the young boy in firestorms arms as the soldiers aim their weapons Superman moves fast steadily appearing in front of the boy blocking the bullets the rounds of ricochets shattering the people that have turned to glass no care like the brawny screams lashing out against the soldiers with his energy the heroes leap in with Poe's are attacking firestorm the rest of his team move in on Superman trying to stop him please I can make this right firestorm begs as he struggles with the pose our that takes begin to rumble in rolling over the glass statues as Superman sees this anger filling him and he throws the other heroes off of him he flashes forward throwing his shoulder into the tank knocking it backwards firestorm falls amongst the destroyed statues tears are in his eyes no no I could fix this he cries as he holds up the pieces of the statue that was once human why or did you listen he screams his nuclear fire flaring Superman moves forward reaching a hand out to the young hero when he hears Bruce's voice in his ears again Superman listen to me the energy readings are spiking don't lose control Ronny Superman tells the young man putting his hand on his shoulder Ronny closes his eyes the energy dissipates I'm ok he breathes Superman steadily pauses as he hears Bruce's voice in his ear he is screaming it's not firestorm the blue light flashes around them destroying everything the blast hits the batwing shattering the cockpit and from his command center adrián feet is watching the events unfold on the news he smiles it begins a gold ring floats through space droplets of blood sticking to the cold vacuum in the future dr. Manhattan sees a young legion ear give his life to save the earth son the explosion sends the ring back and Manhattan looks at it in his hands something is wrong though time is fluid Manhattan [ __ ] his head to the side it is July 1940 and he moves at the Green Lantern six inches away from Allen Scott seconds before his accident he looks down at the ring in his hand but it is gone it was never there it looks again as the future and sees nothing but darkness one a week from now he sees nothing the last image he sees is of Superman angrily charging at him does Superman destroy me or do I destroy everything he asks himself several ships draw closer as the entirety of the Justice League and their allies close in on Mars it is here that they have tracked the energy signature that caused the destruction of Moscow John looks up into space from the surface of Mars five days ago a tachyon fog on earth obscured his vision to see into the past in the future the fog has began to fade and John can once again see into the past he sees the destruction of Moscow the heroes gathering Batman in Superman he sees the earth turning against the men of steel gathering outside the Hall of Justice to protest his involvement in Russia inside Lois runs to her husband who still lays unconscious from the blast at Wayne Manor Alfred turns to find Bruce coming and struggling up from his bed despite his wounds what's going on where's Clark Alfred tries to push the man back to his bed to no avail he's recovering secured in the Hall of Justice Alfred asterism and firestorm the young men awakens on one of the Justice League ships startled to find professor Stein sitting next to him in the manor though Bruce is stalking through the house headed for the Batcave while Alfred explains why the entire league left the planet to travel to Mars they discovered that it was in firestorm who caused the explosion it was someone else someone that they believed is trying to kill Superman first of rips off the last of his bandages as he sits at his computer they're being played firestorm wasn't behind the explosions but I don't know if the man did they're going after what either I should have listened I didn't see it he whispers looking at the mask of war Shack on Mars the ships begin to land of the heroes gather staring out into the wasteland of Mars seeing a palace in the distance got a creepy isn't it Guy Gardner notes so still so pretty back on earth Lois stands over her recovering husband when suddenly a voice calls out in the darkened room hello Lois did you get the drive that I sent you Lex Luthor asks from the doorway Lois turns anger flashing in her eyes as she shouts at Lex I don't know how you got here Lex but if you've come to finish Superman off it'll be over my dead body I have no intention of harming Superman at this moment Lex asurs are stepping into the room meanwhile back on Mars the lanterns have sealed the planet into a green orb and the heroes move forward with Martian Manhunter taking lead hello my name is Jeong jeong's who are you where did you come from what are you doing on Mars he asks I think heroes begin to encircle dr. Manhattan who barely seems to notice them they're protesting a power that they fear dr. Manhattan states still not looking at any of the heroes a moment passes and he finally turns to Martian Manhunter excuse me I was talking to Robbie Raymond six minutes from now the tachyons are muddling up things you're here looking for answers you don't know the questions to guy Gardner steps forward looking around at the gathering of yours shocker the guy's a lunatic but Jean tells him to stop he tries to once again speak to dr. Manhattan dr. Manhattan turns back to the marsh from remind I can see that you're confused dr. Manhattan turns back to Martian Manhunter only for the moment in five seconds he will broadcast to everyone's thoughts that you've read most clearly my final vision of Superman the image flashes in everyone's mind and Supergirl is overcome with anger you think that he's going to destroy you so you're coming out to destroy him first she demands guy steps forward and leaping into the air his ring flashing that's enough talk is over let's put some underwear on this guy the energy strengthens his punch and the blow nearly twists dr. Manhattan's head all around a dull crack at going throughout the fields of Mars as the man falls to the ground Christ I didn't mean to kill him outright guy starts to explain a smile on his face but he's interrupted as dr. Manhattan suddenly disappears where'd he go guy asks looking around but suddenly a voice speaks from over his shoulder that ring I'm curious what's inside it dr. Manhattan now completely healed asks as he reaches out his touch sending sparks of energy and pain through guy Gardner's body he pulls the ring from guy's finger dropping the now powerless man to the ground I must admit not knowing what is and was and will be it's enjoyable dr. Manhattan notices as he holds up the energy ring the ring shatters in his hand drifting into the air in a haze of green smoke and sparkles this energy emotion coalesced manufactured in a power by the ring he stares at the remnants of the Green Lantern energy I find it difficult to affect John Constantine orders the magic uses to attack in a Trojan leaps in a breathing fire while cetana attacks with a blast of magical energy magic a swirling around dr. Manhattan you all believe that you are wielding magic he hauled at his hand and the energy condenses into a bomb I see this power that you harness is really the scraps of creation like random errors in computer code discarded and forgotten left to be picked up and used by those who have also been discarded and forgotten the euros begin to move in for the attack but the ball of magic expands rapidly throwing them all away he feels good to still learn dr. Manhattan smiles back at the Hall of Justice Lex steps for telling Lois that he comes in peace but Lois knows that Lex has spent his life trying to destroy the Man of Steel why would I believe a word that you say Lex just smiles he's excited to see Superman taken down a peck and he understands her caution reaching into his pocket he pulls out a pistol offering it to her take it if it makes things better Lois nods taking the weapon aiming in at Lex gritting her teeth don't take a step closer to Superman she warns Lex just nods I was the one who sent you the footage of those heroes that never were it's proof Lois proves that there is a force out there that is undermining not only Superman but all of creation on Mars are heroes oppressed their attack lightning crackling along the Marvel family throwing them to the ground Starfire leaps in but her energy blasts are turned to side the Doom Patrol is thrown as if they mean nothing firestorm sails past aiming his power towards dr. Manhattan we can't hold back professor we don't know what we're dealing with he shouts but dr. Manhattan looks up nodding and extending his finger no Ronald you don't and a flash of blue energy firestorm is once again in the lab where the accident that gave him powers took place dr. Manhattan stands by the window looking out on those who are protesting the experiment they're protesting the power that they fear he tells Robbie and Robbie stands there not knowing what is happening he asks where is professor Stein at dr. Manhattan merely points at the door Robbie steps forward leaning and discovering Stein on the phone his eyes widen in shock is he over his Stein discussing the accident how he believes that it's going to fuse them together what better way to learn more about these metahumans than from the inside dr. Manhattan asks and Robbie steps back shocked back on Mars firestorm flails and they are lashing out in anger at dr. Manhattan the nuclear energy knocking them to the ground the other heroes see this and they begin to press their attacks energy attacks when the heroes begin to drive dr. Manhattan to his knees until finally he turns his seeing captain Adams stepping forward get clear he orders the other heroes forget Superman captain Adam is the last thing you're ever going to see he shouts hitting Manhattan with everything he has energy begins to rip out of dr. Manhattan as a look of shock comes over his face he explodes sending the heroes flying as his palace is torn apart slowly the smoke of destruction against it clear and the heroes pull themselves to their feets dr. Manhattan's seemingly defeated they turned that was a soft blue light begins to glow veins in tendons begin to appear and are quickly covered as muscles and skin to grow over them and in mere moments dr. Manhattan stands before them once again what were you hoping to accomplish he asks his blue light beginning to expand filling the space all around them until they disappeared a harsh light back on earth Adrian Veet sits by his bank of monitors watching as Wonder Woman steps before the United Nations in order to give a speech our world is under assault by mistruths beer and extremism there's no singular villain behind it we've all played a role suddenly the wall behind her explodes inward hope I'm not interrupting Diana Black Adam calls which I can too in creeper behind him I heard your friends were on vacation [Music] dr. Manhattan stands on Mars looking up into the vast void of space-time is fluid in his eyes and he can see everything that was is and will be all at once it is November 2nd 1985 in his world and he enters the multiverse in April of 1938 ears drawn to the world of Superman for reasons he doesn't understand the first person that he meets is a young man named Carver Coleman who has spent the nights sleeping on the streets he takes the young man to a diner something is wrong though he barely hears the words of the young men is saying time is different in this universe and John is having troubles

explains it is now April in 1938 John is standing in front of Carver in an alleyway are you an angel the young man asks John looks away for a moment thinking over the question no he'd finally responds

in a fancy suit explaining that they want to make another Nathaniel dusk movie it is 1952 and Carver is telling John that he has to go to a party after winning his first big award it is 1954 the man leans forward anger and award flashing in his eyes I won't be on this world in a year what does that mean John he asks it is July of 1954 and Carver lays dead on his livingroom floor murdered by his mother it is 1955 and John is staring at an empty booth he is alone for the first time since coming to this world it is 1938 and the young Carver Coleman is sitting across from him but John turns his head listening as the news radio reports a mysterious man who is lifting a car over his head Carver stares as John suddenly disappears before his eyes across the country John stands staring at the crumpled car as the police look over the crime scene a woman is speaking to the police he was wearing a wrestling outfit in a cape he lifted the car like it was a crate of apples and then he left over that building over there she points but as John looks around times suddenly shifts the crowd the car Superman they were never there John looks through time again it is now July 1940 Alan Scott reaches for a green lantern as a train that he is on Corrine's over a bridge in January a college student named Jay Garrick lays unconscious in a school lap breathing in heavy water vapors by morning he is the fastest man alive that same month archeologist Carter Hall comes in contact with an ancient knife that awakens his past as an Egyptian Prince October al prat because to train under one of the

whether they should wait for Superman Johnny Thunder offers to take a team photo but they still wait for Superman John watches and the same scene plays out but this time they take the photo it's November 1940 the heroes have not heard of Superman no one has it's now April 1948 and John is sitting across from Carver Coleman in the diner he asks if the actor has ever heard of Superman Superman no the man begins but before he can continue John is gone again it is now 1931 John is standing at a cornfield and he watches as a rocket falls from the sky it is found by the Kent's he realizes that Carver Coleman never heard a Superman because an outside force shifted his arrival forward in time vibrations of this change not only affected this world but every world in the multiverse instead of 1938 Superman is first seen in 1956 John pauses watching the farmers hug the small child from another planet no the scene shifts and it is now October 1986 Jonathan Kent is showing his young son the rocket that brought him to the planet the scene shifts again and again before John's eyes it is the same event altered slightly to fit within the timeline the face is altered slightly the rocket design itself changes then John watches as Jonathan Kent holds his son who weeps in his arms at the edge of the cornfields I want to be Clark Kent I want to be his son young Clark cries but Jonathan holds him closer you are my son he promises John stops and he stares he doesn't understand this universe time shifts again it is now May 1949 and a young Clark sits by his parents bedside as they are passing away tears in his eyes October 1986 his parents are alive helping him put the finishing touches on a uniform that he will wear as Superman John stands by the gravestones of the Kent's he misunderstood this world he looks forward in time following the trail of Superman's influence and he realizes that this universe is more than it appears and it is all connected to Superman John looks back through the past and he sees the forces such as the anti-monitor and the extant who are responsible for the shifts in Superman's timeline he sees this and he grows curious it is now July 1940 John reaches out and he shifts the Green Lantern just out of Alan Scott's reach a simple act that will reshape the universe around him the train crashes and al Scot never becomes the Green Lantern history shifts and the multiverse shifts with it this universe stands apart from the multiverse John realizes this is the Metaverse John stands amongst the wreckage of the Trank the Green Lantern in his hands he turns his head watching as his version of the universe begins to take shape around him Superman is sent to earth as before but much later the kids find him though they are not quite the same loving parents as before on the night of his senior prom Jonathan and Martha are killed in a car accident and John watches as without his parents or other costumed heroes Clark grows a distant from humanity he becomes angry lashing out against the world John watches as Superman finally becomes the hero that he was meant to be but is tampering with the Metaverse did not go unnoticed lightning cracks behind him and Jon turns to see a swirling vortex open up well I know what you did Wally West screams over the sharp hiss of energy whatever you did they'll stop you he promises he tries to reach out for him and at that moment John realizes that the Metaverse is not passive the Metaverse is an organism fighting to survive it is now April 1938 John stands before Carver Coleman who looks concerned John tell me what you see he asks John is in the future and he sees an angered Superman standing before him the Man of Steel charges his eyes glowing red as he lashes out with a punch then darkness it is now June 1954 and Carver Coleman is shaking John by the shoulder John my god what are you doing here I don't know John tells him he knows that Carver will be dead in ten seconds the man turns meaning to make John a drink he reaches through the bottle of alcohol when his award hits him in the head Carver's mother ransacked his home taking what cash and valuables she could find the murder was never solved John walks through his own past and his own universe he is a being of inaction who will meet a being of action in this Metaverse he knows that he has become the villain and in the Hall of Justice Superman opens his eyes the world is now in chaos the president has declared that without Superman America will return to the more traditional deterrence of foreign threats the soldier reaches out to turn to keep a Batman's hand shoots out snapping it my arm you broke it the man screams the crowds riot in the streets with mayhem and destruction raining across the country and Batman tosses the man throwing him into a crowd of soldiers that are trying to rush him he turns as the doors to his right swing open and a new group rushes in at the Manor Alfred is sitting by the fire he turns the pages reading the next line in the Journal of a warship that was left behind by Reggie our new Rorschach meanwhile at the United Nations Wonder Woman throws her lasso of truth around giganta's arm tossing her through the wall and into the streets civilians run as debris and a giant woman fall around them Wonder Woman turns but her body is suddenly hit by magical lightning from behind you preach peace as if that is what the leaders of this bloated selfish frightened country want Black Adam shouts at her they are the descendants of those who enslaved your people Diana who raped and killed so many of you they fight for privilege I fight for the oppressed I need to know right now who side are you on but Diana throws up her bracelets deflecting the next bolt outside the Hall of Justice the crowd continues to grow anger crossing their faces as they raise sides crying against Superman's actions elsewhere lex luthor and lois lane walk through the halls of one of the lexcorp's most secure buildings he explains to her that he was approached by a man claiming to be from another dimension I was then shot by someone that I presume to be from the same parallel earth given that they knew each other he leads her through the building explaining what he learned from Ozymandias and the comedian meanwhile back at the Hall of Justice Clark struggles pulling himself out of his bed and over in his lair Adrian Veet sits watching his monitors the news continues across the world showing riots and meteorological destruction across the globe he continues to watch until he realizes that one of the boy this isn't coming from the television yes I hear you he says as he stands all these screens I thought you were one of them he walks through the layer but Bastas in his hand and he passes the cell of Johnny Thunder where the old man sits crying he finally stops at the door of Saturn girl what do you want I know why I can't read your mind she tells him speaking from the shadows thrown off the window on the wall Adrienne smiles meanwhile at Lex Corp the large door slides open and inside Lex places his finger on a fingerprint screener this is the most secure building that I possess housing the secrets to the varying nature of the universe which I will prove to you revolves around me he tells her as the door slides open have you ever heard of Carver Coleman he asks Lois looks around confused Lex explains to her that the actor was killed in 1954 but the murder was never solved eventually the items that remained in Carver's estate went up for auction one of those items belongs to me he tells her holding up an old photograph Lois takes the picture confused asking what is so special about this and Lex tells her I've been tracking strange anomalies since I was a boy the story behind this picture has always eluded me two years ago Lex was moving through a dark field in the night a flash of energy behind some trees drew his attention to be pushed through on the other side he witnessed the flash and Wally West hugging how could I ever forget you the flash asked him but Lex discovered that the flashes were not the cause of the energy spikes he turns and he sees a photograph lying in the grass this picture is connected to the rebirth of Kid Flash Lois asks in a way it is I found Colonel debris in the area including the film I sent you and personal items connected to Wally West's evidence that our reality has been altered but it was the photograph that was the true anomaly Lois walks in behind Lex but stopped short her eyes and mouth wide open in shock the room is lined with duplicates of the photograph that Lois is holding in her hands I found them all over America each is absolutely identical from what I've been able to piece together the one in your hand was the first back in 1938 but if you look at John's suit it comes from a much later era the 50s it would appear Lex tells her that he believes that someone is leaving these photos as they travel through time but Louis asks him why I don't think that they're aware of it to mislaid but whoever they are they are more powerful than any other being that I've encountered meanwhile at the Hall of Justice Superman finishes getting dressed as the door behind him explodes inward a squad of soldiers fall into the room aiming their weapons at the Man of Steel Superman turns putting his hands up as they've ordered my order of the president I'm asking you to come quietly I don't want any trouble Superman tells them lower your weapons please he steps forward in the men tense before him if the president has an issue with me I will go discuss it with him he tells them he said aliy leaps into the air and a red blur flying through the roof over their heads back at Wayne Manor alfred finishes cooking the stack of pancakes that he was making he puts them into a box and he steps out into the cold night in the city Reggie is sleeping fitfully under the bridge nightmares filling his dreams as he pulls the small blankets that he owns tighter he sees his father speaking with the Kovacs his eyes bright with confidence the door opens and a gout of flame erupts burning his father alive Reggie screams and Rorschach is standing before him his hands coming through the bars to clutch Reggie's throat he screams coming awake to find Alfred leaning over him the man stops not wanting to startle Reggie do you remember me I'm Alfred Pennyworth you like my cooking I've read the journal I'm sorry we didn't believe you before but we do now Alfred reaches into his bag pulling out the box of pancakes Bruce has asked me to find you to help us locate Ozymandias so that we can prove Superman's innocence so we can stop him from doing to our worlds what he did to yours he opens the box showing the pancakes and I thought you might be hungry Reggie slaps the box away screaming at Alfred would be a prison let me to rot not Rorschach he yells before running away into the night in his lair Saturn girl questions why she can't see the truth within Ozymandias is ma so he explains it too I knew that John would never listen to me so instead I used a mime and Marian now I knew that John hadn't saved the two villains because of marionettes pregnancy but rather for the future that he had seen for her son that the boy would be adopted by a woman that had been important to John at one point in his life so you broke them out of jail not to me my other puppet he tells them that Reggie long believed that Adrianne was dying of cancer a facade that I maintained until John exposed the truth Reggie believed that I was overwhelmed with guilt and shame over the tragedy of New York Adrian used that to get Reggie to break the two villains out of jail and once the group was together they came to this world poor Reggie he had no idea that he was wearing the mask of the man that had destroyed his parents once we arrived in this world though I realized that John had found someplace special a schizophrenic Society overrun with superpowers in costume he came here to be with his own kind when John refused to help us believing that a confrontation with Superman would lead to his or this universes oblivion I came up with a new plan one to save both worlds I knew that the belief in Superman was holding this world together and that the world would have to be turned against him I discovered that the Superman Theory had a partial truth to it and I forced the confrontation in Moscow knowing that Superman would be forced to intervene I used Bubastis to create the detonation knowing that the heroes of the world would trace that energy to John in Mars resulting in a battle that would remove Superman's allies the stage is set meanwhile on the White House lawn Black Adam and his team of supervillains stalk forward but the wind suddenly rushes by them and Superman stands in the way of their objective I'm still catching up but I know enough to know this has gone on too far Superman tells Adam determination on his face you have one chance to stand aside Superman Adam warns him and the villains begin to circle the Man of Steel the blow is strong enough to knock Superman through the city in six seconds Superman will see me John thinks breaking through the White House lawn walls and colliding with a building in Pennsylvania Avenue he stands up turning dr. Manhattan stands before him staring at the Man of Steel it now John thinks he watches us Superman realizes who he is it is Superman it is me it is us it is the world it is time it's time [Music] Superman turns to see dr. Manhattan standing before him the group of supervillains not far behind hello Superman dr. Manhattan says the man is still pausing unsure who the new man is who are you I'm the one you're going to destroy or I'm the one who's going to destroy everything John tells him Superman is confused but he turns as his name is shouted behind him a group of heroes have landed the Poe's are of Russia at the lead you must answer for the crimes against the Russian people he demands ordering Superman to turn himself in but another voice calls on the other side as Superman turns to meet this Superman will be held accountable a contact will be the nation that does it Black Adam orders his group of supervillains backing him up during these speeches John is merely watching Superman his head cocked to the side there are innocent people in the area Superman tells those that have surrounded him gritting his teeth since when has that ever stopped your country Black Adam tells him as the gathering of heroes and villains launched themselves at Superman across the world the heroes of the other countries begin to move towards the u.s. wishing to help since the disappearance of the Justice League in Washington Superman's hands snap out grabbing both Black Adam and pose are in a beam of heat vision cuts through the spectral form of negative woman but it's not enough as a blow begins to draw blood from the Man of Steel meanwhile in Gotham City Reggie stands before a Bank of televisions in a store watching the news play out across the world the groups of superheroes from other countries have begun to converge on Washington and Reggie looks up as one reporter confirms that this is the end a metal pipe cracks hard against a Reggie's head drawing blood he behind him a large man smiles as looters continue to run through the streets I knew I'd catch one of you trying to break into my store he readies the pipe for another swing but the metal is caught by a leather gloved hand excuse me sir you've got to blood onto your hat Alfred Pennyworth tells him spinning the pipe around knocking the man across the face Reggie looks up at the man who's been trying to find him for most of the night blood still oozing from his head you leave me alone he gasps and Alfred nods looking down at the unconscious man if I did that where would we be I require your assistance Superman does Alfred pulls out the Rorschach masks asking Reggie to help them find Ozymandias before it's too late Reggie reels at the mask trying to get back up before Alfred can say the name Reggie grabs him slamming him into the front of window monsters name monsters face filled with emptiness tears begin to fill his eyes as Superman takes blow after blow in Washington your world's going to end alike mine Reggie tells Alfred Alfred looks into the scared man's eyes it's will unless we do something to save it but when Reggie looks at the mask he sees a world with no future he sees the man that took all the hope from his father he sees a world that is teetering on the edge of darkness fighting over stupid policies why not let the ugly world destroy itself before were dragged down into the darkness with it Reggie asks Alfred when suddenly the light shines from above and Reggie looks up to see Batman swooping into the streets I know you tried to warn me I'm sorry Jonn watches as Superman falters under the gathering of the super-powered blows raining upon him both physical and energy Jonn watches as a car sales through the air at a mother and her young daughter and they are cowering in fear shut your eyes the mother tells her daughter holding her close as the car is about to crush them but Superman is there catching the hunk of metal tossing it aside he turns immediately jumping back into the fight whoever you are help these people he yells at dr. Manhattan but Jon just watches as another blast hits Superman in the chest I don't help I've already seen it lightning cracks against Superman and he stumbles dropping to his knees blood leaking between his clenched teeth I can't do this alone he whispers a photo of Jon and Laney drifts down through the air landing in the pavement Jon looks up at the sky seeing the other photos less than four minutes now at Lex Corp Lex Luthor tells Lois Lane to use everything that he told her to write a story to tell the world that he was the one who discovered their history has been tampered with by a being from another dimension I want credit for my work he tells her reaching for the vibrational emitter gun in his weapons room in the streets of Gotham I'm in marionettes continue to lead the police on a high-speed car chase the comedian still tied up in the back do you believe what dr. Manhattan does Batman asks Reggie that everything is preordained I read corvax journal I know who dr. Manhattan is do you know who Rorschach is then no I can't wear masks Reggie tells him that his friend Byron lied to him made him put on the masks of the man who destroyed his family you see a monster when you look at the mask but you can take it you can change it make people see something else Batman tells him handing him the mask and in Washington Superman is struggling to his feet fire and smoke drifting around him as the battle continues any turns to dr. Manhattan again how could you stand there and not to do anything my world once had a chance at peace but after I left I lost it it fell into war it's burning even now John tells him he holds his hands up before Superman the city burning around them I am the one behind the changes in your life the loss of mentors you never known the friends you forgotten more specifically I am the one responsible for the deaths of your parents he tells him I changed your life Superman out of cold curiosity will you destroy me for it or will I defend myself despite my sins Superman's eyes suddenly begin to burn red and he launches himself at dr. Manhattan the man closes his eyes waiting for the end to come but Superman's fist rushes past him connected with the pose are and knocking him away why would you defend me John asks surprise in his voice Superman pants by him trying to catch his breath I don't know what to think about all of this but I do know that right now right now you have a choice to make who is she Superman asks and John looks down at one of the photos of a lady that has fallen to his feet you created those photos every time you took a step I assumed that she is important to you Superman tells him he then stands before him looking into the eyes of dr. Manhattan maybe the darkness that you see maybe it takes everything that you have to save your world maybe you can make that choice he tells him looking over his shoulder seeing the group of ready to attack him again but John waves his hand and everything begins to slow yes I understand now everything ends he knows as he begins to glow brighter and brighter blinding the world around him everything beginning to disappear leaving only Superman's symbol on the ground until that two drifts away and darkness envelops everyone because there is nothing but darkness a planet explodes as if lighting the darkness as is starting the universe and from the destruction a rocketship barrels through space and as always it begins with a child the meta verse forms around the child who will one day become Superman and lands on earth in different times and in different eras in one Jonathan Kent is telling his young son to hide his powers that the world isn't ready to see someone like him but dr. Manhattan goes back shifting the Green Lantern back within the grasp of Alan Scott saving himself and becoming the Green Lantern Jonathan Kent then tells his son that the world had heroes once the Justice Society of America and that if Clark was ready to show the world everything that he is capable of well the world is ready to Clark smiles thinking his paw getting out of the truck to go to his dance in one world this is the night that Superman lost his parents the truck is rear-ended sending it careening into a tree but in this world Clark isn't hiding he isn't afraid and he's inspired by the heroes of the past and he steps into the light and the truck is stopped by Superboy and this world the Justice Society exists because of this Superboy exists because Superboy exists the Legion of super-heroes exists as the Metaverse reforms time catches back up and adrian stands at his lair watching the events unfold on the news a bass tiss hissing in his hands as they both begin to feel the change there's a bright light in a Legionnaire Eve ring is suddenly gone and in his cell Johnny Thunder turns to find the Green Lantern glowing bright a voice calling out to him asking if he forgot I did didn't he smiles before yelling say you in Washington Black Adam punches Superman across the face as the hero is overwhelmed but everyone is suddenly thrown clear of the Man of Steel a little telepathic push will clear them away someone calls as Superman looks up confused who the smoke in the fire below begin to clear showing a new group of heroes you remember us now don't you kal sorry relate son Jay Garrick tells the Man of Steel tipping his winged helmet Superman nods smiling turning back to the group of villains an army of superheroes from the lost history of the Metaverse now at his back better late than never he calls her they charge into the fight Jon watches as superman leads the charge defeating the villains and for the first time he is inspired he sees the splitting of the multiverse he sees Superman catching a car in 1938 when the Flash's first created the vibrations creating the world of Earth to a crisis occurred and the earth divided again creating earth 1985 flashpoint earth 50 to rebirth everything that is a change to the Metaverse a new multiverse is born to preserve Superman John looks to the future and sees that in 2020 Superman's timeline will be threatened again by the energies of the new gods in July of 2025 a new crisis will erupt and Superman will be revitalized in 2026 the timeline will be restored in earth 5g will be born in 2030 a secret crisis will begin Superman will fight against the author himself and a green behemoth stronger than even doomsday a young boy is found in a field in 2038 in 2045 and 2162 in 2965 in every era a rocket arrives and a young child is loved Superman is made John looks on and he understands the Superman's purpose throughout the meta verse he shows them of the way adrián briefly glances over his shoulder I did it again he says the Batman and Rorschach did one exactly everything we needed to clear Superman was on your ship Batman tells him yes I know it's all going according to plan suddenly the room is filled with a blue light and Batman is left standing in the room alone they all appear in front of the Washington Monument standing beside mime and marionette and the comedian I know what you've done Adrian Adrian nods explaining that he knew that Superman could convince him he just had to arrange the meeting let's go home everyone lives today that's what a gunshot echoes through at the empty space as a round cuts through Adrian's stomach except maybe you Veidt goddamn [ __ ] the comedian spits his pistol smoking in his hand he turns the gun to mime and marionette when suddenly he begins to vibrate Lex Luthor standing there aiming his vibrational emitter at the man and smiling he's sending him back to where he came from Edward Blake disappears returning to the point in time where dr. Manhattan pulled him out of the comedian's sailing through the air and he hits the pavement below his apartment Reggie leans over Adrian we all get what we want Reggie I get to tie a hero John gets a purpose you get revenge but Reggie pulls off the Rorschach mask jamming it into the wound to stop the bleeding you live pay for your crimes rot in prison Reggie snarls Adam Jon turns to mime and marionette telling them that they will not be returning to their worlds we want her son back marionette yells and Abidjan nods telling her that his plan is for them to see their son again and he will need an anchor in this world as I did and a flash John is gone it is 1954 and he arrives once more at the diner where he was going to meet Carver Coleman the man sits across from him shocked to have learned that he won't be on this world in one year I have not been a good friend to cover but I can see so many futures now can make a good choice John tells him looking at his friend don't be afraid of what you feel Carver would come out when his mother blackmailed him telling the world his secret shunned up for a time he would eventually find acceptance in Hollywood passing on in 2005 with his partner of 40 years at his side the news plays out and clark listens with his super-hearing as he and Lois walk through the streets of Metropolis he tells it that there's a long road ahead but she knows but it's not too late you did it you reached him you changed him and he'll change someone too because if you have faith in that there's hoping us all they stop in front of the Daily Planet is John and Martha Kent greet them the loving parents run to their children hugging Clarks clothes it's so good to see you Clark smiles holding his mother in a blue flash John emerges once more into his world it is in ruins around him but John looks around and he walks and with each step flowers begin to bloom he sees the future he sees a young girl standing outside of Adrian's prison obsessed with his rise and fall on her 16th birthday she'll call herself nostalgia standing with a full-grown Bass's by her side time shifts and marionettes has given birth to her son the nurse will look to the baby basket to find the child missing and John is walking through the park the child in his arms he is standing on Mars with him pointing to the stars he looks down at the child a smile on his face and in a brief moment he sees a life different a life where he didn't get his powers where he and Lanie were happy and they had children he smiles as he walks through the world flowers growing in his footsteps behind him because the drift away as the last of his powers are given to the boy and inside the Hollis household the woman is making pancakes the doorbell rings and the young daughter runs to the door oh hi can I help you she asks the young boy who stands before her the boy is dressed in a suit and the symbol of the atom is on his forehead I'm sorry to bother you but a friend of your mom and dad's brought me here he said that they'll know what to do she smiles of a strange boy my mom and dad are making pancakes for lunch do you want some my name's Sally what's yours the boy looks hurt John calls me Clark and there you have it the full story for Doomsday Clock now it's weird because if you've been following our flash-forward series then you know that dr.
