Brain truly stuck on that last tag.
Batman was barely holding back the urge to massage his temples at the sheer situation they had going on.
The Flashes, all of them unfortunately, who exactly had let them all at once enter the Watchtower?, were screeching over how the Speedforce was not only feeling off but actively trying to interact with the world as it was for them, creating ripples of instability.
Constantine was not only present but drinking AND smoking on the job as he explained that every magical being on this earth had received a single message "Return Time's child or face Its wrath as It rallies the Infinite and all its inhabitants to wage war to find him."
"Don't be mistaken Bats, 'the Infinite' is a particular designation. The Infinite Realms is where they live, the glue between universes, the heart of afterlives and a bunch of other designations to say that they have infinite soldiers. Nah Mate, 'the Infinite' itself is its consciousness. It's like saying the Force itself is going to fight us except more capricious and with more than one eldritch creature living within it. And they're all gonna be after our arses if we don't find where the hell someone took Time's child."
The Laughing Magician looked like he would rather be anywhere but here, preferably searching for this child so that the world would not end.
Batman gave a grunt of aknowledgement before parcouring his notes again. The Speedforce acting out, Diana's blessings malfunctioning, Ivy's worried words about the Green being furious in a way she'd never felt before, death-touched people collectively coming to a stop as they felt a tug from their very being to search restlessly - which included most of his children and even himself - Lazarus Pits throughout the world had started boiling with concentrated power, Deadman currently in one of their containment cell after he had admitted to the urge to hunt that was plaguing him.
It all pointed to higher forces in turmoil.
"When you say 'Time' which pantheon are we speaking of?"
"Ha! If it was just one Pantheon it wouln't be that bad! I'm speaking of the very Concept of Time, the Primordial created from Chaos if you will, which, is also another name for the Infinite. We'll be lucky enough if Time doesn't wake his husband, not that he needs it, but at least if Time is alone he will cease the war once his child is returned to him. If Dark is awakened there will be nothing left of this planet and if we're lucky he'll stop at the planet."
"So we need to find Chronos' child before he wakes Erebus and they destroy everything and everyone in their search for that child?" Hal asked in clarification.
"And what information do we have to find this child?"
"Most anomalies are centered around the United States, including an entire town going missing, the place it used to be was confirmed by Zatanna to be drenched in the energy of the Infinite Realms. We haven't managed to find much about the city, it's a relatively small town in Illinois named Amity Park, according to their website it is the 'most haunted town in America' they were also under a total media blackout that even we're having trouble breaking. Out best source of Intel is its sister city, Elmerton. We are unsure of the city was taken as a warning, a hostage or a demonstration of power however it is our best clue to finding this child." The Dark Knight replied as he thought and disposed of plans after plans to find this child, "Any more informations on the child himself Constantine?"
"Not much, he's very young in terms of deities, hell he's young in our terms too, we know he is the Concept of Space and the Balance between Life and Death. Fortunately he's young enough that I could find a frequency where we could contact him but he's far too in pain to hear me and all I hear from him are screams and pleas to stop."
"This frequency, could you use it to track him down?"
"Too volatile with his distress to pinpoint it with precision, he's basically projecting in every direction but I can narrow it to an area of a few thousands square kilometers, that's the best I can do."
"Superman, I want you, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter and Wonder Woman to look for informations on Amity Park, I will send several of my flock to assist you as well as Young Justice and the Titans, Flash, all of you, you will search the area that Constantine will circle for us. Constantine, you and JLD focus on tracking the child with magic, see if you can find or create a summoning ritual or something that will allow at least one of us to make contact with this child."
