Author's Note: This is an ALTERNATE UNIVERSE story, which means events that happened in the regular continuality haven't nessaserily happened in this story's continuality... and yes, I know I can't spell. With that said, I hadn't originally planned to continue this story, but the number of responses requesting more led me to do so.

Today we return to a world we've previously seen, one where the son of Jor-El was raised not as a Kent, but as a Wayne.

For today, the possibilities of what might happen to brothers Clark and Wayne are, as the Justice League is now... Unlimited.

"There were hundreds of us across the globe, but we nearly failed to repel the Thanagarian Invasion because we had no communication, no teamwork... From now on, we have to be more coordinated than that. We can't be cowboys any more...or cowgirls." With the last bit, Shield looked pointedly at his cousin, Kara, known to the world as Batgirl.

After Darkseid had revealed Clark's true origin as Kal-El, son of Jor-El of the planet Krypton to him, Clark had taken a Wayne Enterprises rocket into space and to the former location of Krypton. Life signs led him to a nearby planet he later learned was Argos, Krypton's sister planet, and his father's brother's family in stasis... Or at least the sole survivor, Kara.

This would later lead to the menace of the computer Brainiac, but at the time, Kara was being welcomed into the family by Bruce and Clark, as well as Clark's ward, Tim, and Bruce's adoptive son and daughter-in-law, Dick and Kory.

That, Clark mused silently, was the scariest part of his life, when Selina, Lois and Kory decided to introduce Kara to life on Earth, including malls... The Wayne fortune took a dent that day.

And unfortunately, his brother's cat-themed occasional girlfriend and occasional rogue took his cousin under her wing to teach her how to fight. A decision that eventually led to Kara taking on the guise of 'Batgirl'.

With a small touch of ego, Clark wondered why not 'Shieldgirl' or something similar...

Which was immediately deflated when he realized that Kara's approach was more like Bruce's than his. Clark shook his head, Bruce got all the luck sometimes.

"J'onn will be up here, it'll be his job to determine who goes where and when. I know a lot of you are used to making those decisions on your own, but we're going to have to be coordinated..."

The first mission of the new Justice League Unlimited happened much the same as that of the League you already know. Kara, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, and Captain Atom managed to defeat Brimstone and begin the new life of the League with a victory.

One week later was the birthday of the Wayne brothers, the publicly known celebration at Wayne Manor, which was followed by a smaller celebration among friends.

That was until Clark had left for the arctic.

Much as Bruce had his own trophy room in the Cave, Clark had built a fortress in the arctic circle for when he needed to get away from everything that contained his own spoils of war. At the party, Bruce had accepted the gifts for his brother and came up with explanations for why he wasn't there, explanations that those who had known them the longest knew didn't fit, but accepted so that Clark could have his privacy.

That had been two days ago, which was why Bruce, or rather his alter ego of Batman and fellow Justice League member Wonder Woman, also known as Diana, Princess of Thymescira, were on their way to Shield's 'Fortress of Solitude.'

The long flight in the Javelin had begun to cause even Batman to feel slightly bored, usually Shield was around for him to plan ideas with, this caused him to do something he rarely did. When they had landed and were walking through the halls of the Fortress, Batman tried to make small-talk, "What'd you get him?"

"I'm not saying anything - he'll hear and spoil the surprise."

"He can hear that too," Batman almost-joked in a whisper, then shrugged, "He's not the easiest person in the world to buy birthday presents for, after almost thirty years I've about given up on it."

Batman held up an envelope and showed it to Wonder Woman

"Bruce...you didn't get him a gift certificate?" Wonder Woman asked, shocked.

"No!" Batman answered, then paused, "...Cash."

It took all of Diana's control not to groan. Anyone who thought Batman was emotionless or Shield was an overgrown schoolboy had never seen the two brothers interact with each other.

Which made her think, what made some of the other League members think she liked Bruce?

Exiled or not, she was still a Princess of Thymescira, and it would be unproper for her to stamp her foot... no matter how much she wanted to. It was always assumed that she liked Bruce or that she liked Clark or that because she was an Amazon she liked other females...

The reason she spent time around Bruce was BECAUSE they weren't involved. Bruce's belief in not being involved with teammates fit well with what her mother had taught her as she grew up about complete trust being needed in love and that kind of trust not existing.

Diana often wondered what had happened to her mother in the past to turn her so bitter towards relationships.

The events involving the former ruler of Warworld, Mongul and the Black Mercy unfolded much the same as you remember them with Superman. Both Bruce and Clark were forced to face their greatest dreams before Mongul was trapped in the grip of the Black Mercy himself.

While Wonder Woman transported Mongul to the Watchtower, Bruce stayed behind with Clark to try and come to terms with their recent... experiences...

"You saw them too, didn't you?"

"Not just OUR parents, Bruce... I saw my parents too... They had managed to steal a spacecraft as Krypton was being destroyed and they survived..."

"Dad had fought off the mugger."

"There was me and Lois, and you and Selina, not Catwoman, but Selina."

"I can still see him standing there, not even out of breath."

"I had a son, and you, you and Selina had a daughter."

"It was like something out of the movie we had just seen, Clark... What was her name?"

"Helena. And Jor-El and Dad were talking in that way scientists do, where you can't even understand them, but they can understand each other fine."

"It didn't have the flaws that the Mad Hatter's dream world did those years ago... it was perfect."

"Mom and Dad left us a lot of strength, Bruce... I could see people willingly dying just to experience that."

Batman finally looked around at the icy walls, "I don't know about you, but at the moment I want to get the hell out of here..."

Later that night, on a bed with silk sheets in a million-dollar mansion miles outside Gotham, Bruce Wayne couldn't sleep. It wasn't his dream with the Black Mercy that was bothering him...

It was Clark's.

Finally, the Dark Knight gave up and picked up the phone, dialing a number he knew all too well.

"Mrow.. M'ello?" A sleepy voice answered with a purr.

"Selina, Bruce... What do you think of the name 'Helena'?"
