Inertia made it to Central City and stood pondering his next move. He wasn't sure where to look for the Rogues he craved revenge on. He was trying to think where they might be.

As he was thinking, Scourge appeared behind him and fired point blank behind Inertia's head, taking the villain by surprise and blowing Inertia's head off.

"Justice is Serv -----Ghlgk!"

The Scourge's throat was cut by a member of the League Of Assassins who stole away swiftly.

Flash found both bodies moments later. Barry Allen had not rooted out the Scourge problem yet and now he was faced with an even more mysterious problem? Time to consult Batman.

Rip Hunter delivered Mlle. Marie, the Blackhawks and Easy Company to the past of World War II. It was his understanding that the Nazi soldiers would be returned as well.

Rip delivered them to their proper time. He found Extant waiting along with the Legion of Super villains, Cosmic King, Saturn Queen and Lightning Lord.

Frank Rock knew what was at stake and shot Extant right between the eyes. Extant had made the mistake of assuming Captain Atom was the only threat and only focused on him. It cost him.

Captain Atom sparred with the Legion of Supervillains until Rip Hunter made it clear he was the only way the three villains would get back to the future.

They realized he was right and ceased hostilities. Rip Hunter abandoned them at an obscure corner of the universe in the 31st century.

Dr. Octopus was in negotiations with Lex Luthor. The Scorpion had introduced them.

Octavious was in awe of Luthor''s genius.

Doc Ock agreed to an allegiance with Luthor which potentially brought along an allegiance with the Flash Rogues and Mister Sinister.

In deep space, Galactus was left to collect himself after his opponent had fled.

But the Cosmic heroes had no choice but to oppose the world eater after Surtur fled the battle.

Galactus was both weakened and sated by his encounter with Surtur. He had absorbed enough energy to sustain him but he was severely weakened.

He was forced to agree to a treaty preventing him from targeting Oa or any member of the United Planets.

After Galactus left, the cosmic heroes breathed a collective sigh of relief.

For Baron Blood, his goal was to find the Punisher and punish him. But something was wrong and Baron Blood was sent back to World War II.

Losing his chance to destroy his dream victim, Baron Blood settled for a simple helpless victim instead. He then sought refuge.

Baron Strucker and Arnim Zola stared in disbelief as Baron Heinrich Zemo faded back into time and was forcibly returned to the World War II era of this replicated Earth, like Baron Blood had.been.

All the Nazi soldiers and equipment also were sent back in time.

Strucker was left alone with Arnim Zola.

Shortly they were joined by Natalia Kassle. The three of them decided to get back to Berlin as quickly and discreetly as possible.

Elsewhere in France; Captain America, saw Union Jack (Brian Falsworth), Bucky, Toro, Spitfire, Blazing Skull, the Thin Man, Citizen V, and the Superman that couldn't fly but only leaped tall buildings fade back to the past.

The Freedom Fighters remained but Uncle Sam knew that he, Phantom Lady and Captain America existed in both the past as well as existing in the present time. Somehow he sensed it.

The Human Defense Corps troops remained

Easy Company was gone, The Blackhawk squadron was gone. They too were returned to the past of this reality. It was something of a paradox but no one wanted to think about it too hard. They'd leave that to Reed Richards and Hank Pym and the other scientists to grapple with.

Brainiac found his ship had a visitor.

The Midnight Rambler had gotten past all his safeguards and shields and was right there before him. Brainiac didn't startle easily but this took him by surprise. Brainiac began to attack but the M.R. turned immaterial and Brainiac was unable to touch him.

"Be calm Brainiac. I am here only to enlighten you."

Brainiac was skeptical that this intruder could teach him anything but he decided to listen.

The M. R. explained to Brainiac about the entire alternate reality business and that there was a second, robotic version of him out there in space that had been in this reality for some weeks ahead of him. M.R. suggested that this Brainiac should renew his alliance with Lex Luthor because in this reality, everyone was going to need allies and Luthor was a logical choice for the original Brainiac.

Brainiac learned of the several potential enemies stemming from the Marvel and other universes. For proof, the M. R. showed him visions of Galactus, Cthulhu, Surtur, Mephisto, Odin, Nightmare and Umar.

The M. R, also suggested that Brainiac release his prisoner so that he would not be hunted immediately by the J.L.A. and the J.S.A. Brainiac and Luthor would need time to prepare and did not need those distractions.

Brainiac saw the logic of that and teleported Power Girl back down to Paris.

He then moved to contact Lex Luthor.

The Midnight Rambler teleported away.

The Punisher and his entourage were stunned by the sudden transformation of Paris to the more modern era city rather then the World War II era occupied Paris.

The Punisher immediately hauled in his mounted machine guns that he had been openly displaying off his roof. He needed to be less conspicuous now.

They; like Brainiac, received a visitation from a cosmic entity. Captain Beyond appeared in their van.

The Punisher protested but was put to sleep by a wave from C.B's hand.

Captain Beyond interfered less often then the Midnight Rambler because he was needed less by the heroes then the villains needed the M. R.

He was needed now. C.B. healed Ice's head injury. He then told Longshot and Ice to step out of the van. Once they did, he teleported the Punisher and the Black Widow back to New York and to one of the Punisher's safe houses along with the Punisher's van.

He then teleported the Black Widow to the Avengers mansion and told her that she would want to have the Avengers contact Dr. Strange and his Defenders and both teams should be in Paris as swiftly as possible. If the Fantastic Four return to Earth soon it would be wise for her to call on them and the X-Men as well. Calling in Alpha Flight would not be a bad idea.

Captain Beyond returned to Paris and collected the three Amazons, leaving Longshot, Max Mercury, Fire and Ice in Paris.

He brought the Amazons to Themiscyra where they were reunited with their sisters. He told them to tell Wonder Woman that the J.L.A. would be needed in Paris before the morning. They should bring as much other help as they could muster.

Wonder Woman's cheerful reunion grew somber as the Amazons weighed the import of Captain Beyond's warning.

Wonder Woman called an emergency meeting of the Justice League.

Max and the other heroes waited for Captain Beyond to return but he did not. Finally Max decided to find somewhere for them to stay until they could get their bearings.

He stumbled across a recovering Power Girl and brought her to join the other three.

Fire and Ice were ecstatic to see their good friend. The girls almost seemed to forget about Max and Longshot in their joyful chatter.

After Galactus retreated, the heroes ran off Brainiac (robot version) and Ultron.

Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns left of their own accord.

The Legion stayed back on Winath to help with recovery over the recent incursions.

Thor and his entourage returned to Asgard, sped on by spells cast by Loki who was anxious to get back and begin his own plotting and manipulations. They took Iron Man and the F.F. with them despite Tony's Thorbuster armor, existence of which, completely irked Thor and was a strain on their long friendship.

The Guardians of the Galaxy stayed on to help the Legion clean up. Somehow this wound up including Bug, Starlord and Rocket Raccoon who seemed to join Vance Astro, Yondu and Aleta. Aleta managed to make peace with Starhawk and allowed him back in to the team.

All right. Let me wrap up Day 64. I'll resume with Brave and Bold part II where I bring in a major DC heavy of cosmic proportions. Sorry, I'm not going to bother with the Black Lanterns. I understand the concept but it doesn't interest me, mainly because they killed too many characters I preferred alive, and they were too hard to defeat. They would derail my story.

I'd like to remind readers that I write these things while imbibing so I find myself editing a lot when I come back to look at what I've done so a reread might behoove you because some changes might be drastic.

Also, feel free to rep message me if you like something. It's better then interrupting the story flow with comments. Though I don't mind the comments. It's nice to know somebody's enjoying this besides me.

Would have done this last night but Charter Communications decided to shut down my internet last night.
