Supergirl glanced down at the pair on the floor. "I have absolutely no idea. He's so good at making friends," she added with overdone cheer. "And his Batman imitation has really improved! So... It looks like you're okay, and he has everything under control..." She started to float backward.

Superman's super-hearing twitched. He snapped his fingers and pointed at Kara with out turning around. "Stay right where you are, young lady, we still need to have a talk."
Spider-man snickered underneath his mask. "'Young lady'? That sucks, is he going to ground you too?" He would have continued, but Superman had temporarily shifted his gaze to Peter and he could have sworn that he saw tiny red dots deep within his pupils. Great idea Pete, piss off both of the god-like entities in the room, its a wonder you've lived this long...

Kara glared down at her cousin, suddenly furious. He had no right to talk to her that way, especially after she'd been scraping by without his help for the past few days. "You have absolutely no idea," she told Spider-man. "We do not," called loudly,"Need to talk. I have absolutely nothing to say to you, and more to the point, you have nothing to say that I haven't heard twenty million times. I've got work to do, and I don't need your damn lectures. See you later, Spider," she added as an afterthought. The next second, she was gone.

Hosk reached for his mask and removed it, but none of the signature vapors or gases came from his mask this time since this new universe had the exact atmosphere his kind needed or it was some kind of magic doing that allowed him to breathe easily in here, but that was irrelevant. Hosk spoke in English now, though like before his vocal cords weren't use to speaking human.
"Hunting...For a trophy...To go...Home...Just...Me."
Hosk couldn't explain the full detail of why he had come to this universe since he didn't exactly know how he came here; it was that card that opened a portal here and unknowingly he stepped through it. Hosk needed to claim a legendary trophy so he could finally return home to his clan since he vowed on his honor to do so and by that vow wasn't allowed to go home till he achieved a trophy of great honor and skill. It was obvious this man was beyond regular human limitations. Judging from the man's reaction to Hosk, it was obvious this person had fought the Yautja before and achieved victory. Because of this, Hosk had to have respect for this man for knowing of the Yautja and yet still being alive.
"Put me down."
Hosk did not know of this man's full strength, but Hosk too was quite strong and maybe could use his Yautja technology to fight this man, but if this person did indeed fight against the Yautja before, maybe it would be futile to try to claim his skull as a trophy.

"Kara! Wait!... You.. are.... grounded! For a Month!" The words felt lame to Clark even as he said them, but at least he could get one irratating alien to cooperate.. "What kind of trophy?" Superman said as he began to lower the predator a little bit more. He didn't trust it, but these dimension-altering events made for strange bedfellows, and maybe this Predator came from some weird dimension where predators were good guys...
Spider-man whistled "For a month you say? Wow, with no video games and every-?" He cut himself off mid-lame joke as the Predator removed its helmet. Damn, now there was something you didn't see every day."Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of the food processor... What is that guy?" Peter asked Superman. "The result of a failed experiment to cross pit-bulls and barracuda?"
Superman glanced back at Spider-man. "Spider-man, As glad as I am to see you're okay after the whole fear-toxin thing, would you mind being quiet for a minute while I interrogate this highly dangerous alien? He's a member of a race that hunts other sentient races for sport."
Spider-man gave Superman a sidelong look. He knew his name? How? "He's Freakin' Superman that's how." Peter mumbled to himself. "He probably has some kind of 'Name detection power' or maybe he just has the 'Google names' app..."

"A great...Trophy...One of...great honor."
This whole conversation would be easier if Hosk had a pen and paper or something or if this monkey understood Yautja. Hosk didn’t like to be handled like this and was having seconds’ thoughts of cooperating with this man when his patience was running dry. Hosk found it crude that this man called the hunt ‘sport’; didn't humans hunt creatures for sport? The Yautja were no different than most human hunters, they just wish to claim the greatest trophies since the Yautja possessed technology far passed most of the other races in the galaxy, instead of using it to conquer, the Yautja use it to hunt.
"Sport...No...Honor...Yes."
Hosk chuckled a little on how bland this human's vision of the Yautja was and Hosk alone was quite old. During his time on Earth, Hosk learned much about human culture and how they functioned. During Hosk's time on Earth, he was considered more of a hero then a villain by those he accidently rescued during his hunts. Hosk had killed drug dealers, mobsters, and gangs for trophies, but as killing political leaders, police officers, and generals for the same reason. Despite this, the evil he had killed overshadowed the good that was slaughtered. Honor among his own clan was absent on Earth, but honor from humans was abundant. This man had no idea what Hosk was and how long he had been alive, so nothing as complex as honor could be summarized as 'sport'.

"Your reasons don't matter much to me, you hunt and kill sentient beings in cold blood, that matters." Clark stated blandly. Superman sometimes found himself uncomfortable in the morally grey area that was usually Batman's home, often in his line of work, however, it was thrust upon him. But despite this, his moral compass remained inflexible when it came to the subject of premedidtated murder. "A trophy of great honor? So, in other words, something really difficult to kill?" Then Superman realized that Spider-man was mumbling something about a "Name-detection power". "I don't need a power to detect your name, you introduced yourself the first time we met. Don't you remember?"
Spider-man reeled. "Hmm.. I hang out with a lot of weirdos in Spandex, but I think I'd remember meeting a figure from my childhood iconography come to life...and I'd probably have gotten your autograph... can I have your autograph, by the way?" Listen to me, I sound like a twelve year old at a Star Trek convention. Peter thought, remembering his first Star Trek convention. Here I am making jokes out of panic instead of trying to figure out WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON. Like I should have been doing from square one. "So, Superman, do you happen to have any idea what's going on around here? Why there are aliens and extra-dimensional beings and costumed avengers and weird cities appearing all over the place? I mean, more than there usually are..."

"Yes."
Hosk listened to the two humans talk and took in some of their conversation using his playback device in his helmet, which he had taken off so the playback wouldn't go noticed quickly as long as no one looked at the helmet. Little comments like that autograph comment were what Hosk really wanted for the prey he was trying to catch. Hosk had a mild explanation for what was accruing here in this universe, though he liked to see what they would come up with first.

"We don't have any idea what's going on in my universe, either. To tell the truth, when I found out this was happening, I was hoping someone from your universe might know." Superman said to Spider-man. Why would I remember and Spider-man not? He thought to himself. To the Predator he asked "Did you have someone specific in mind?"
"Well, that is just peachy then." Peter said as he lifted himself experimentally from his web-hammock. She really didn't have to use this much. He thought. Now I have to re-install my airfilter and make up a new batch of webbing. He climbed on to the ceiling and said. "Well, you've been at this since, like, the forties, right? I guess that means we differ to you in seniority and deciding what we do to get our universes un-stuck together, Hey, where exactly are we, anyway? It's dark, grim, wet, and largely underground. So I'm guessing Jersey."
"We're in the Batcave, Batman and company just headed for the sattelite when I got here, I'll try to raise them on the comm and see if we can start to gather as many heroes as possible to try to figure this out." Superman chose to ignore the comment about the forties, maybe Spider-man had him confused with the Flash or someone like that. I just hope Bruce can explain all this... He thought grimly.

"No...Already tried...Someone."
Hosk played back the Joker's laugh using his helmet and kept it on loop for a minute before turning it off again. Hosk was still la bit angry at that defeat and there was a scar on his leg from that joy buzzer toy the Joker used. Hosk didn't want to fight a psychotic of normal grounds again; next time, he would just shoot the b*****d. Hosk knew a way to explain this whole event of universe crossing in a form of hunt his people did quite often, but that would take too long to explain in English for Hosk, so he kept his mouth shut and let them think about it.
Yautja occasionally gathered together different species from other planets or solar systems and put them together for the hunt, making big battles base on the attributes of the creatures. This was done to show which creature was the strongest and to provide entertainment for Yautja children so they knew what true battle was during their youth. The same principles applied here: two universes combining together probably for someone entertainment and Hosk was one of the animals brought it to entertain no doubt.

{Enter Deadpool from Gotham}
The mercenary walked casually down the stairs, whistling to himself, and then stopped, looking around. How boring. A big dark cave without any guns. "Damn. I really wanted a tommy gun for that stupid Russian," he muttered. He could have done a Godfather reference. It would have been awesome. Just then, he noticed the occupants of the cave, including a certain spider-themed hero clinging to the roof. "Hiya Spidey," he said absently. "Mini you is even more annoying than you are! Isn't that amazing? I bet his line of comics sells better than yours; the public looooves a smart a**. Are there any guns in here? Like... at all?" he asked, peeking around the Batcave as though hoping to see a giant, glowing sign reading, 'guns here.'

Superman cringed at the ominous implications of the laugh that Hosk played back. "I see.." He said.
"Said the blind man to the deaf dog?" Spider-man put in helpfully. Wow he thought. THE Batcave, so completely cool. There's the giant Penny, there's the supercomputer, there're the Bat suits. There's the Deadpool. Wait, Deadpool?
As Superman turned to inform Spider-man of his supreme unhelpfulness, a bizzare man dressed like a ladybug meandered into the batcave and began to babble about guns to Spider-man.
"Oh no, not you. You are quite possibly the last person in the universe we need right now. Short of Norman Freakin' Osborn. What are you doing here?" Spider-man complained.
"You know this guy?" Superman asked.

Hosk used Superman's distraction that moment to turn on his recording device again, since obviously something interesting could happen here. If not, at least it would get Hosk one step closer to getting enough words to say things by reformulating his recordings, not having to speak actually using his own vocal cords. Hosk wanted to be put down, but it seemed he would have to continued waiting or try to cut Superman’s arm with his Maul or Claws, that could wait though.

Deadpool frowned. "Looking for guns. Obviously. And speaking of Osborn, you haven't seen--" Just then he noticed... the Predator. Completely ignoring the national icon holding him up, he gasped. "Hey, that thing kind of looks like that one thing from that thing! Can I have its autograph?... Or its right arm? I could stuff it and give it to Xavier as a Christmas present. Oh, that guy..."

Spider-man put his palm to his face so hard he was afraid he left a bruise. God that guy was a moron. "This is the Batcave, a guy named Batman lives here, and next to an Amnesty International convention it is probably the WORST place on the PLANET to look for guns."
Superman was by this point becoming very disconcerted with all of the strange people wandering in and out of the cave. Bruce was very touchy about the cave. If I don't do something, there's going to be a house party of costumed adventerers here and Bruce is going to blame me for letting them in here... Without another thought, he zipped over to Deadpool and smacked him lightly on the head with his closed fist to render him unconscious. Then the zipped over and re-established his grip on the predator as he used the Batcave's communicator to hail the JLA sattilite.
Spider-man gapped. "Wow, I wish I could have done that like, every time he thought about oppening his mouth..."
