Superman had been threatened with his real name before, and luckily he knew how to handle it, taking a deep breath, he said. "Fine, We'll let you go, if you could just answer a few more questions." Superman made a mental note of the Commissar's vocal patterns. He wanted to be able to hone in on that voice in the future. Commissar could go for now, but he couldn't in good conscience allow such a clearly deranged creature with that kind of knowledge roam free. "For instance: Who is this 'Arcade'? Where is Doomsday? And what is this 'blood problem' of Kara's exactly?"
How could he know? What about the mind-wipe? NO ONE is supposed to know! Peter ralied mentally. Calm down, Peter, he probably was able to find out through some side-effect of all this dimensional weirdness, if you put it right, it should all go back to normal... I hope. Realizing that Superman had just made a bargain with this guy (a bargain that he would probably hold Spider-man to) Peter began forming a contingency plan, quickly palming a spider-tracer from his utility belt, Peter said. "I can answer that last one, Superman, it's an alien parasite, it feeds off of adrenaline, and in return it amplifies the host's natural abilities, but as a drawback, it increases the aggressor response and slowly consumes the host's personallity. It's usually vulnerable to fire and sound, but this one seems to have become immune [to fire, anyway] since bonding to Supergirl."

Diana had no idea about Kara's situation. He miht of not been their biggest threat right now, but later on his knowledge might lead to their greatest truth or destruction. She understood that he was dieing man trying to make his wishes come true, but if he had what he needed then why bother?She assumed the usual- that he enjoyed it. They would have to get back to the watchtower and let J'onn know.

"Well, she has one and my previous Symbiote is trying to kill her so she doesn't get out of hand, but he wasn't so successful in even catching her. Doomsday is at Fisk's Tower gathering Venom and his family tree along with Doc Octavius, Black Stone, and a few other individuals from other universes like Scorpion and Akuma. Arcade is practical joker slash hit man, though he often spends his time running that amusement park called Murderworld. Overall, he is Universe M’s version of the Joker, not in being fearless, but just wanting to watch the world burn with a comical twist of clowns and cotton candy, quite delightful…His amusement park is in Arkham Asylum I believe… I'm glad you see fit as to let me go, Comrades...Arcade will have Gotham flooded with Arkham inmates within the hour."
The Commissar had a very good reason for keeping all that data on them, including their secret identities; he was going to rebuild everything if it was destroyed. The Commissar's existence is separate from that of either universe, so he was not tied to the fate of one universe and would still be alive if existence collapsed for either universe. Using his data, the Commissar could rebuild things to moderately reflect how they once were, maybe a few tweaks to make things more dramatic, but essentially the same; there was still plenty of data missing to fill in certain blanks. One was how everyone in the world in Marvel Universe managed to forget Spiderman's identity after he revealed it; that mystery still baffled the Commissar. From his abilities, he could only assume it was some universal deal, meaning it affected the universe and the Commissar not being tied to it left him immune and it would also explain why after a certain date, the records of Spiderman’s identity were erased from the records in his computer. Whatever Peter did to get everyone to forget, it must have been big, and something the Commissar would need to learn about later.
As the Commissar walked towards the hole in the wall made by Greed, Mega Man gave him a angry look; one that said to the Commissar that Mega Man wasn't so fond of letting him go so easily. Mega Man was an interesting robot, something that even put the Commissar's Comrads to shame; such power compacted to look like a boy in blue armor. It would be a plan to try to harvest the ability to absorb other technology from Mega Man's structure, but it would be foolish to do so with the Commissar's more important plan. That reminded the Commissar about Chris, so he turned around with his foot on top of some rubble to yell at Chris from across the cave.
"Chris! Are you staying with them!?"

Gold Star's attention shot towards the Comissar. "Blackstone? Hey, wait, what's this about Blackstone?" she called out. Blast it she'd only caught part of that. This not being able to read anyone's thoughts was getting on her nerves big time.

Chris bit her bottom lip and frowned, it would be a smarter idea to stay with the heros. Then maybe she could meet up with Deadpool again. Or they could help her get home. "Uh... Yeah! I'll catch up with you later Comm!" She called waving at him and smirking. She could explain her situatioin to the heros and they would understand. If not she could use her infinite knowledge of them to her benefit. She glanced over at Gold Star who had been trying to get everyone's attention for a while now. Weird. She doesn't look familiar... Chris thought to herself, eyebrows raised. Maybe she's from a video game or something that I missed. Or maybe the merging universe situation was expanded besides her universe and the comic universe. In which case this was way worse then she could have ever imagined. And then she gets it. Congrats they've only been talking about this for the last twenty minutes. She mentally sighed, Whatever I'm a little off today in case you didn't notice.

"Alright! The instructions for the armor are in the storage compartment in the left bracer!"
The Commissar had very simple instructions he gave to all his elites regarding the Power Armor and all its special features that the Commissar installed during experiments. There was a teleporter back to his base which he labeled for use only under emergencies. There were several other gadgets that could make any normal person a commando with a little battle experience and how the armor worked. Chris would figure it out; she seemed to know a lot about things someone of her knowledge shouldn’t know about without scientific knowledge. The Commissar had to use this DNA from Deadpool to finally be free from this damned container and robotic suit. The Commissar couldn't just let them see him walk across the beach into a secret cave, teleportation was required. The Commissar's base was top notch; sound proof, synthetic vibranium casing to prevent x-ray, and a scrambler to prevent his energy signals from being tracked. Superman could probably track him still, but he would have to concentrate.
"Bye bye, I'll be off skinning kittens to make napkins."
The Commissar liked to taunt people like that, but really the Commissar adored kittens because of their stupidity; it was like watching a mini-version of a human's attempt at knowing everything and controlling everything compacted into an adorable little creature, but smarter in the Commissar's opinion. With telepathic thoughts from his mind, the Commissar activated his teleporter and disappeared in a light of red.
((Exit the Commissar to Gotham City: the Gotham Eastern Bloc HQ.))

Spider-man turned to Superman. "So we're just letting him go?"
Superman looked back at him. "It seems that way, come on, let's all get back to the Watchtower. We need to send out an APB for all heroes, we're going to need everyone who can make it to get together there so that we can coordinate our next move. The Villains are obviously banding together, so we can't waste any time."
Spider-man nodded. "I agree, no time for grand-standing, I just wish that there was some way we could track him."
Now it was Superman's turn to smile. "Don't worry, I heard his voice. If he speaks again, I'll be able to find him. Besides which, he made the mistake of coming to the Batcave, if I know Batman, then some sensor or computer already has as much data as you could ever gather about someone's person lifted off of him."

{Enter Batman from JLA Satellite}
"Not quite," a low voice said evenly. A moment later, Batman stepped out of the shadows. "But enough. J'onn's here," he added to Superman, "I left him in the Watchtower. His analysis, combined with the data I've managed to gather, is worrying. We'll need to keep a close eye on this Commissar. I don't want any surprises."

Spider-man jumped 30 feet in the air. Literally. "Jeez! Where did you come from!?"
Superman shrugged. "He does that." Then he turned to Bruce. "What do you suggest? I still think we should regroup at the Watchtower. The cave's obviously been compromised, and I don't think we want to alert anyone else to its presence if at all possible."

Batman's jaw tightened slightly at the thought of his cave being compromised, but there was no point in denying it. "I need to track down the two that got away," he growled. The fact that they had been in there.... "They've both been seen in the company of the Joker. I won't leave a loose end like that."

Superman locked eyes with Batman. Come on Bruce. "Batman, we can't do this one the usual way. I know you're used to going it alone and then meeting up with the rest of the league when you're needed, but right now I think the first thing we need to do is get everyone together and coordinate our countermeasures as efficiently as possible. You know me, normally if someone told me that anyone had Kryptonite that would be my first priority, but since I've gotten here I've done nothing but run too late from one hotspot to another and that's all that's going to keep happening until we can get some time to sit everyone on our side down and regroup. Besides, we can track just about anyone better from the Watchtower anyway. If not with the sensors, then with John. Don't you agree?" Please agree.

Batman looked right back, completely unimpressed with Superman's famous stare as per the usual. "I'll be back at the Watchtower when I'm done with my reconnaissance," he said, his tone clearly spelling out, 'discussion over.' "One of them is a telepath; she could easily be as powerful as J'onn. We need to know what we're getting into." Without waiting for a response, he started for the Batmobile. He did not-- tempting as the thought was-- plan on taking the pair on by himself. That said, relying on J'onn to figure everything out for them had proved to be dangerous in the past, and nor could he sort through every mind just to find those two, especially since he'd arrived in the pocket dimension after they had exited the cave.

Superman allowed his frustration to show plainly on his face. "Fine, but be carefull." He said. On second thought "Would you at least take Diana with you? I'd feel better if you weren't walking into this one alone."

Batman paused, irritated, and then nodded grudgingly and continued toward the car.

She had begun to worry, whether they were doing the right thing or not by letting the Commissar go, but he had left Chris behind with intentions she wasn't sure of herself.Diana looked to Superman. She knew exactly what he was doing. If anyone was capable of handling himself it was Bruce, however now wasn't the time to complain, not that she had any complaints.
"As soon as something comes up you'll let us know.." She asked Superman though it wasn't really a question. Turning on her heel she followed behind the brooding shadow that was Batman to the batmobile.
