Batgirl wakes up on the floor confused. The area is dark and unfamiliar. She gets up, and takes a look around.
“Hell... Ooooh.” says Batgirl. Her stomach starts growling. “Oh I’m so hungry.” She rubs her belly in contemplation. “Why am I this hungry? I know I ate... Well I don’t know how long I was out for. Where am I?”
“We’re in a cave.” says Huntress walking in rubbing her growling stomach. “I’m starving as well. This place looks barron.”
“Huntress how did we get here?” ask a confused Batgirl still rubbing her stomach. “I don’t remember even getting into costume. I’ve never been this hungry before in my life either.”
“I don’t know.” replies Huntress. “I awoke to find myself laying next to two girls in a middle of a field. I was hungry, not as hungry as I am now, and I did not recognize any of the plant life in the area. The animals either.”
“So as far as we know we’re on another planet?” ask Batgirl shocked.
“Thats what I thought.” replies Huntress. “Then I looked...”
Huntress stomach growls louder while she is rubbing it.
“I’m sorry. I’m so hungry.” says Huntress. “Well I looked at the sky. I didn’t know what to think then.”
“What do you ooo...” says Batgirl trying to get up. She stumbles back to the floor light headed rubbing her growling stomach.
“Don’t get up too quickly.” says Huntress rubbing her stomach. “You were out at least six hours. No telling how long before I woke up.”
“Sorry, I got too excited there.” says Batgirl rubbing her stomach. “What do you mean you didn’t know what to think?”
“Get yourself together.” says Huntress. “The only way is to show you.”
“You’ve been by yourself for six hours?” ask Batgirl. “I’m hungry enough to destroy every Gotham Burger in Gotham...”
“Gross.” says Huntress.
“... and you’ve been here awake by yourself for that long.” says Batgirl finishing her last sentence. “You must be starving.”
“I admit that eating at Gotham Burger right now is better than this,” says Huntress rubbing her growling stomach, “but I wasn’t by myself. I woke up next to two of you.”
“There’s someone else here?” says Batgirl on getting up again.
“Yea she helped me carry you here.” says Huntress. “I’ve never seen her before. She comes off a little stuck up, but she seems good. She was unconscious next to us when I awoke.”
“Where is she now?” ask Batgirl.
“We had split up to look around for some food.” says Huntress.
The thought of food made her collapse. Her stomach was growling even more.
“I feel so empty inside.” says Huntress on her back rubbing her stomach.
“Are you ok?” ask Batgirl also rubbing her growling stomach.
“Just let me sit a second.” replies Huntress rubbing her still growling stomach. “She suggested we take a look around the area after we got here. We were supposed to meet up after we were done.”
“How are you supposed to when to meet her back?” ask Batgirl.
“She told me to think about her, and she’d come back to the cave.” says Huntress.
“What does that mean?” says Batgirl confused.
“It means think about me, and I’ll show up.” says Emma Frost walking in slowly.
“How’d you do that?” ask Batgirl.
“Well aren’t you full of questions.” says Emma sitting down against the cave wall.
“I’m a bit confused.” says Batgirl. “Aren’t you?”
“Yes, but seeing that we’re all in this together that means you know as much as I do. Well except that I’m psychic as well. Now you know as much as I do about the situation.” says Emma.
“You find anything?” ask Huntress rubbing her growling stomach.
“Does it look like I found anything? replies Emma rubbing her growling stomach also with her head against the cave wall.
“What’s your problem?” ask Huntress.
“I’m hungry, and a little snippy.” responds Emma rubbing her growling stomach. “Just like you.”
“Yea.” says Huntress sitting up. “So we don’t really know you so you can just call me Huntress.”
“And the other growling belly over there is Batgirl right.” says Emma. “I already know more than your code names.”
“Yea well we’re not psychic.” says Batgirl rubbing her stomach.
“Yea,” agrees Huntress, “ and I don’t know how comfortable I am with you know what you know.”
“Well we’re from two entirely different places.” responds Emma. “Maybe even dimensions. I’ve never even heard of the people or things from your memories. I couldn’t do anything to you anywhere else than here, and I really can’t do much here.”
“Thats fine I guess, but I still don’t know your name.” says Huntress rubbing her growling stomach.
“That thing sounds like a dump truck.” says Emma.
Batgirl giggles.
“Funny.” says Huntress. “I still need to know what to call you.”
“I have no problem giving my name.” responds Emma.
A loud rumbling sound is heard. Everybody but Emma looks confused.
“Where did that come from?” ask Batgirl shocked.
“Was that you?” ask Huntress looking at Emma
“It’s ok.” says Emma laughing. “All of you need to calm down. Nobody here trust each other, but I’m the only one who has told a lie.”
Batgirl and Huntress looks at each other confused.
“We trust each other.” says Batgirl rubbing her stomach.
“Yea, but the psychic already knows that.” says Huntress. “And what are you talking about lying?”
“My name’s Emma. Emma Frost. I run a school for gifted children”
“That sounds like a lie.” says Huntress rubbing her growling stomach. “You taking care of the handicapped. Seems like you’re trying to sell your self as good.”
“What is your growling belly a lie detector?” laughs Emma. “That shows we are from two different worlds. By gifted I mean mutants like me. Children gifted with powers from birth. I’m apart of the X-Men.”
Batgirl and Huntress look at each other confused.
“They’re pretty big. Loved and hated.” says Emma. “The lie that a told is that I did find something out... Ow don’t jab me with your elbow. Just sit there rubbing your stomach. They’re good people.”
“Who are you talking to?” ask Huntress rubbing her stomach.
“This is Sue Richards.” says Emma gesturing at the empty space next to her. “Show your self.”
After a few seconds Susan reveals herself reluctantly. Batgirl and Huntress look surprised.
“She is the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four.” continues Emma.
“The Fantastic Four?” says Batgirl rubbing her stomach looking more confused.
“You never heard of the Fantastic Four?” ask Susan rubbing her growling stomach.
“No.” says Huntress.
“You see.” exclaims Emma. “The FF is one of the biggest names from our realm just as the X-Men. The Fantastic Four though is known and loved by nearly everyone for their scientific leaps and bounds. For their generosity too. They’re practically America’s First Family.”
“Oh wow.” says Batgirl.
“These two are vigilantes from where they’re from.” says Emma. “Pretty big names as well. If we were where they’re from we would have heard of them.”
“So we have no issues then why we shouldn't work together?” says Susan now lying on her back rubbing her stomach now growling more than ever. “I want to find some food!”
“I hear ya.” agrees Batgirl rubbing her growling stomach also. “I’m so hungry I can eat an elephant.”
“Yea I don’t see why we shouldn’t work together.” says Huntress also rubbing her growling stomach. “And I’m up to do some more looking around. We don’t know why we are here, where we are, and if we don’t get some food we will be powerless if anything comes up.”
“Yea, but I just got back.” says Emma rubbing her growling stomach. “I just need a little rest. We could split up. We’ll meet up the same way we did before. Just my team will wait here a minute so I can catch my breath.”
