Gold Star huffed and pouted a bit. "Well that's no fun if you already know most of them. And my mom is proud of me thank you! She say's I'll make a great villianess one day!" she replied and lifted her hand towards him. She then clenched her hand into a fist and jerked back. Her telekenetic hold on the spider suddenly caught and jerked him towards her and stoped a few feet away from her. "I have telekenisis too." she said, then raised her scyth in the air. "And a scythe! Can't forget the scythe!" she said happily. She released her hold on the bug and let him fall back towards the ground. It wouldn't be any fun to kill him so soon.
She looked back to Reaper again. "And you really don't believe me do you? My dad's a Blackstone. Which makes you....um...a great uncle I think."

Spider-man shot two weblines up to the top of the building and yanked on them, bringing himself back up to crouch on the wall. Telekinesis? Crap! How was he supposed to fight that? ... It took concentration to maintain, though, right? He just had to think this through. "Well, as long as mommy's happy," he said, carefully storing the bit about Blackstone away for future reference. What a screwed up family!

 Reaper's facial expression didn't change, but his mood seemed to suddenly drop and his eyes became murderous. "Really?" he asked in a low tone and started towards the edge of the building to where the spider and girl were. A long blade started to slip from the sleve of his right arm and he soon gripped a long dagger. "And, um...just who is your father?"

Gold Star laughed a bit. "Oh, you have noooo idea! My family tree could probably..." she started, then looked back to Reaper with a slightly hurt expression. "Hey now...no need to get upset..." she pouted. "I doubt he's anyone you know. We moved to the other side of the country when I was little. The only way I know all this stuff is from mind reading and being very interested in my family history. And trust me, it's interesting." she said, her attention now on her uncle.

 Before Pixie could reach the police headquarters she noticed a scene going down close by the restaurant. Curious she hid in an alleyway nearby watching the situation. A younger Spiderman was fighting with a girl named Gold Star and Reaper, Greed was nearby too because she could hear his mutiple thoughts. But the girl, Gold Star, was who caught Pixie's attention. She could read minds like Pixie and use telekinesis. Pixie sat down on the ground, pulling her knees up to her chest. How interesting... she mused Another mind reader in Gotham. Who've thunk? She continued going through Gold Star's mind, hoping she wouldn't get caught. Mind readers get pretty particular when it comes to their minds getting read.Chris rolled her eyes. Could she really trust this person? In every comic book she'd ever read, when the girl trusts the evil villain... She ends up having herself held hostage or hurt. She shook her head, trying to get rid of these mental images. She looked down the hole again. Still... it was pretty tempting and she'd never had something so cool happen to her before. She leaned deeper into the hole. If he was really bad she was almost positive he would have sent guards or something after her... Don't do it Chris, this is a bad idea. Her conscious yelled at her as she took her first shaky step into the rock. It wasn't long before she found herself walking down the stairs and into the red light below. If she ended up getting hurt, she'd better have someone to save her.

"Interesting..." Reaper said in a dark tone. "I suppose that's one way of putting it. Unless you're actually part of the family that is." he continued, then stopped on the ledge of the roof looking up at the girl. "Then...there's a whole other list of ways to describe things. I take it you haven't actually met any of your other 'realatives' yet have you? Then again most of them it wouldn't matter much. They probably don't know their history themselves. And the other half either don't want to talk about it or use it to their advantage." And then there would be her...well if he was her uncle, then he would be her grandfather. She was practically a stranger, so he could come off as any number of ways. Of course he didn't have his little science building here, so he probably wouldn't try to use her like he did him.
Still...she was related...she was blood related...and right now he was starting to see red.

"Well I've only met some of them. It's a little impossible to meet all of them. From what I know, grandpa's re-" she started, then paused a moment. Something felt wierd...something in her head. She'd never felt something like this before. Finally she shook her head and continued talking to Reaper. "Anyway, I haven't met Grampa or anyone from the City yet. I recognised you from...well some stuff. And just so you know I can rip that knife out of your hand and keep well out of your reach. So don't try it. Besides, I'd much rather hang around with you. You're way cool." she said.
There was still a wierd feeling in her head. Was...was there someone or something in her head? Wow. She'd never met another mind reader if it was. Well, she didn't have anything secrets about herself or anything. Then again...she did know a few things about her uncle and gramps that they might not want anyone to know about...

Pixie smiled to herself, she was amazed at this girl and her powers. She could tell Pixie was in her head, even when the purple girl used one of her most stealthy methods. What surprised Pixie however, was that the girl couldn't read her mind back. Was she able to openly read other people's minds at will? Or was she restricted, like Pixie was restricted to controlling people through eye-contact only. She paused and tried to go in deeper into the girl's mind. She was related to Reaper. This should play out rather interstingly. She giggled and leaned back against the brick wall surrounding the alleyway. Getting bored with Gold Star's mind she moved onto the teenaged Spiderman. He was overpowered and out numbered and he knew this. She couldn't wait until a full fleged fight got started and she could read his panicked thoughts. She looked around the alleyway. Well, permtting no one in the fight found her here. She suddenly wasn't in the mood to cause any chaos, but rather just watch this unfold. It was like the soaps she used to watch.

Spider-man was slowly edging backward, trying very hard to think innocent, boring thoughts, like, I wonder if I left the toaster oven on, and Why was that thing pink? I mean... Pink? If he could get out of the way, maybe the happy little family reunion would turn sour. It certainly seemed as though things were heading in that direction. Maybe they would finish each-other off, leaving him to deal with Smiley again. Yeah, and maybe Thor will suddenly come down out of the sky and invite me to tea, he thought dryly.

Pixie grinned seeing Spiderman back off. Where was he going? she wondered watching him with interest. He was trying to act innocent and get away but any experienced mind reader could see past his attempts and see the motive behind it. Still, not waiting to cause a conflict Pixie got up and decided to follow him, where ever he was going.

Spiderman wasn't outnumbered yet since Reaper was staying back, so Greed waited for his moment to help Spiderman out since he assumed if he helped a good guy he would win for once since the good guys always seem to win. Greed assumed Gold Star already knew he was there, so there was no point in hiding unless she acknowledged Greed directly, so at least he would surprise Spiderman with his help when he needed it. Greed was in high hopes Reaper wouldn't take Greed's betrayal seriously, it was one of the many things he felt like doing to spice things up around here; after all, betrayal was what made soap operas so interesting to old people. Then, Spiderman started to flee and Greed wasn't finished with him yet, so he descended to the streets and stay out of sight, keeping his suit the color the streets.
"I'm glad you reconsidered; having you out their too long could alert Batman to my presence."
At the bottom of the stairs were robots, though they stood idle with their single eyes with red pupils watching and unmoving. These drones had similar schematics to the Nimrod sentinel model, though they had more of a red color scheme then the original. The Commissar cleverly called them Comrads, though they were weaker than the original model. This time the Commissar's voice came from speakers in the corner of the hall, and from the Comrad robots.
"Judging by your knowledge I've witnessed through my sensors, you might know who these robots are based on. The food is straight ahead, but feel free to explore any other room in the base, just be warned not to touch anything."

Curiousity overwhelmed Chris as she started to wander about the base aimlessly. There were a lot of rooms and she was surprised she hadn't gotten lost. Everywhere she looked there was an interesting tidbit she could study and put in her memory just in case. She made a note to find the exit and remember it's exact location. Finally Chris ended up in a large room with a computer. A grin spread across her face as she walked up to it, glancing over her shoulder make sure no one was watching. Like the kid at Christmas who peeks at their presents early, Chris pressed a button label, 'Enter' and the computer flashed to life. She started clicking antehr button when a screen asking for a password popped up. Uh oh. she thought to herself panicked, quickly she entered the first thing that came to mind, Merging Universes into the space and prayed it worked. The last thing she needed was for some alram to go off.

((Um... you can't follow Spider-man, because he's only backed up a little. FYI.))
Spider-man abruptly stopped edging away, furious with himself. Was he honestly going to leave this girl for someone else to deal with? ... No. He couldn't do something like that, not ever, ever again. She was out of his league; so what? Most of the people he fought technically were. That just meant he had to fight smarter... Or just fight her while half of her attention was on Creepy Mc Creeppants. It didn't seem like he would be stepping in to help her out, either. With that in mind, he flipped over her, sent two weblines back over her head to connect with another building, and pulled, bringing both of his feet back to (hopefully) connect with her stomach. "Hey, look," he called, "That's pretty cute; you've got yourself a groupie! Of course, she's related to you, so that sort of cuts down on any fun you can actually have with it..."

"I told you not to touch anything...Though you bring up an interesting point in the database."
The screen started to flash repeatedly and the Commissar entered the actual password which was seven letters long, searching through data for the specific title Merging Universes. The computer stopped more quickly from its search since the Commissar had searched this before, being a genius when it came to both the universes of this one and the other. The Commissar had not a title for the universes and hoped this girl had a title for them. The Commissar started to read the information to Chris, seeing how she could help with the data.
"Long ago child, I was an ancient being that travelled between this universe and the other..."
The screen flashed forward into a hologram, spreading throughout the room, making it an authentic simulation of the Commissar's days as Tec. The hologram showed a being that was seemingly reflective, his eyes being a bright red as he travelled through space.
"I travelled planet, doing whatever I pleased to sooth my undying boredom. At first, I spent my time in the other universe trying to save plants from Galactus, but that got boring. Later I came back to this universe and tried to stop Darkseid, but that got boring too. I truly found my calling in corrupting planetary governments, being evil instead of good."
The next portion of the hologram showed Tec disguised as species from other planets, starting civil wars and government reforms, some good and some leaving the planets in states of constant war. One hologram even showed Tec as a Krall, pushing them with a single action to violence that affected their race today. Tec was powerful, but by no means immortal, the last hologram showed Tec being blasted by the being called Radiant in an attempt to stop Doomsday.
"As you see, I was fallen and landed on the planet Earth in the other universe and slowly radiation from Radiant was killing me."
The next hologram showed Tec slowly withering away over eras on Earth, the same eras of World War One and Two on both universes' Earths, both being the start of Communism. The next slide showed a terrible creature shaped like a skeleton, but with a Symbiote’s features.
"I was Terror once...But no more..."
The hologram shut off and the room became red again, the voice of the Commissar coming back from the hologram and instead from the speakers around the room.
"I bet you now wonder what this has to do with the universes crossing over and your apparent leave from your universe. I predict and by predict mean educated guess that my presence could have stabilized the two universes, but when I died, eventually other prows grew bored and started playing with us, placing the universes together and getting others from other universes to join in, like the incident with Mortal Kombat."
