Jesse hovered high above the group and after patient waiting that seemed interminable, finally captured the Pied Pipers attention. When the Pied Piper finally noticed the Trickster, he nearly gave everything away.

Pied Piper thought he was seeing a ghost. How? How could James Jesse be alive? He'd seen Deadshot kill the Trickster with his own eyes! Hartley nearly became Deadshot's victim himself.

Trickster was gesturing for Pied Piper to slip away from the group discretely but Batwoman and Liberty Belle each saw that Pied Piper was looking up at the Trickster and shouted an alarm.

Trickster had no choice but to join the group where he handed Gold's Responsometer to the other Metal Men after explaining what had happened.

Day 55: 10 A.M. on Taa II in an alternate Reality.

Dawnstar of the Legion was missing Wildfire. He'd been absent a long time now along with a great number of other Legionnaires.

She tried to use her tracking power to find them but she could not, which could only mean that they were no longer in this universe or not in this time period. There was no other reasonable explanation.

As Dawnstar mused, she was taken by surprise by a sudden rift in reality which appeared before her.

Jason Todd; the Red Hood, was out of sorts. He'd been making overtures to Nightwing to allow them to work together in the absence of so much of the Bat family but Nightwing kept rejecting him.

He was just about to kill Nightwing so that he; Jason Todd, could take over and work unimpeded, yet now he was in this strange place. The frustration was unbearable.

Dawnstar emerged from the rift in reality and the first thing she saw was a man in a red helmet getting stalked by a huge monstrous insect thing.

She shouted a warning and Red Hood turned around in time to see the Xenomorph bearing down on him.

Red Hood fired his handguns at it but the bullets simply bounced off it's exoskeleton.

Dawnstar swooped down and grabbed Red Hood by his armpits and carried him away from the monstrosity.

Midnight Rambler was frustrated. Trickster had failed to lure Pied Piper away from the cluster of superheroes so that they could join their fellow Rogues back in Central City.

Oh well, the Red Hood should have showed up. He'd go check on him and hopefully, he'd be able to get Jason Todd back to Gotham City successfully, then he could watch for an opportunity to get the Rogues where they needed to be later.

Red Hood had no idea who this was that rescued him from that overgrown insect, but he wasn't complaining. That thing that stalked him seemed like nine miles of bad road.

After Dawnstar felt like she was far enough away from the threat of that creature, she set Red Hood down so they could talk.

"Who are you?"

"I'm called the Red Hood. I'm a vigilante."

"Vigilante? Please explain." This was term no longer used in the 31st century.

Red Hood explained as best he could and asked Dawnstar who she was.

They soon learned that they were from different time periods after various confusing references unfamiliar to one or the other.

The next question was where were they?

Dawnstar used her Legion flight ring to try to contact her teammates and was pleasantly surprised when she received a response from Bouncing Boy.

Harbinger had nothing better to do, so she agreed to help the Green Lanterns and the Silver Surfer.

It was decided that Harbinger would stay near Galactus in case any others from the DC Universe stumbled on him so that she could prevent anything unfortunate happening such as what happened with Forerunner.

The rest headed back out to search for whoever they might find.

Red Hood was definitely feeling like he was out of his element. Whatever this place was, it was more Dawnstar's speed then Jason's.

He also felt like his inability to fly handicapped them in a way.

Dawnstar was very excited about hearing from her lost teammates and wondered how she could get back together with them. The place she was in was like an intricate maze and she could not seem to find an exit, no matter how hard she tried to look.

She learned from Bouncing Boy that all the lost Legionnaires were here in this reality but she couldn't adequately explain where she was because Dawnstar had no frame of reference to explain it.

Mon-El, Ultra Boy, Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl and Wildfire were dispatched to try to locate her immediately.

The Trickster integrated with the band of heroes accompanying Pied Piper with some reluctance. Neither Batwoman nor Hawk were exactly welcoming him.

James looked around for some sign of the Midnight Rambler but that entity was nowhere to be seen.

Luckily, for the Trickster, the Metal Men, except for Mercury, were very grateful for the return of Gold's responsometer. Mercury was simply being Mercury.

Dawnstar flew around Taa II as fast as she safely could while carrying around Red Hood but she couldn't go far with him because she did not have superstrength and Red Hood was relatively heavy.

Finally Dawnstar set Red Hood down at a high spot she hoped would keep Red Hood safe from those creatures.

"I need to find a way out of here so we can be rescued by the Legion. Can you wait here while I look? I can find you easily after I find a way out. You should be safe up here. I'll check back every ten minutes in any case."

Red Hood agreed to it and Dawnstar flew off.

As soon as Dawnstar left, the Midnight Rambler moved in.

"Now that she's gone. I can take you home to Gotham City."

"What? Who are you?"

"I'm the Midnight Rambler. I'm ready to take you home."

"Did you bring me here?"

"No, my masters did. They sent me to help you."

"You're going to help me? What about Dawnstar?"

"Dawnstar can take care of herself. I'm here for you."

"Well, I'm not leaving unless you help Dawnstar get home too."

"Yes, yes you are." With that, the Midnight Rambler tapped Red Hood's helmet and Red Hood slumped unconscious.

The Midnight Rambler spirited Red Hood to Gotham City.

Dawnstar searched a while and then went back to check on Red Hood.

To her dismay, Red Hood was gone. She felt like she had let him down. She decided to try to track him and realized immediately that Red Hood had somehow exited this place. She simply needed to find her own way out and she could find out what had become of Red Hood.

Red Hood was deposited in his Gotham City apartment where he hid out and operated from as the Red Hood.

After the Midnight Rambler left. the Red Hood came to his senses.

Jason looked around at his familiar surroundings. There was a stack of Gotham City newspapers dating back almost two months on his kitchen table and Jason began looking at them.
