Trapped In Another Dimension

*Van looks confused*

Van: How do you get a phone to operate outside time and space?

Rote: I have a really good provider...that and the same warp tech for the Explorer.

Van: makes sense

*Van tries to call*

Lara's phone: Hello you're through to Lara Croft, please leave a message after the tone.

Van: OK should've seen that coming.

Van: wait WHY would lara be gone?

*Rote shrugs*

Rote: Well she does travel a lot.

Van: Yeah but we had this one set up after a few...incidents.

Rote: Oh right.

Van: I think we should stop off at the Manor, just to check on her.

Van: i'm starting to thing Vibes isn't the only one missing

*As they arrive at Croft Manor, police are looking round*

Van: Oh no.

Van: i'll get the story

*Van double souls Vibes' stealth mode and looks around*

Van: lara's missing too?

*As he looks round, he hears the butler talk about the fact she has been gone missing for the last couple of weeks*

Van (thought): Starting to get a weird feeling about this...

Van: *returns to the explorer* has anyone gone missing from the watch tower?

*Rote nods*

Rote: Apparently Wonder Woman's gone AWOL.

Van: this can't be a coincidence

*Rote nods*

Rote: I just hope we're not too late...

MEANWHILE...

*Wonder Woman, Lara and Vibes try to keep walking. As they move, Lara's guns turn into snakes*

Lara: WHAT THE...?

*Wonder Woman goes to grab her sword, only for it turn into rubber, stretch and snap back on her*

Wonder Woman: OW!

Vibes: strength mode! *her muscles collapse in on themselves* gah! i'm a twig!

*Lara's equipment backpack grows legs and scuttles away like a crab*

Vibes: This place is insane.

Wonder Woman: It's like we're being deliberately being weakened.

MEANWHILE...

*Black Canary looks concerned as Martian Manhunter tries to focus*

Black Canary: Anything?

Martian Manhunter: They're...alive...but the presence is very faint...wherever they are, they are too far
                             away...

Black Canary: we can't even pin down where they are?

Martian man hunter: that is the case

*Rotecol then realises*

Rotecol: There is one way to get to them...

*Van realises*

Van: No...

Rotecol: If I'm right we're dealing with a distant dimension, we need a chat with the gatekeepers.

Van: we are not dealing with warp king

*Rote sighs*

Rote: Not just Warp King.

Black Canary: Oh no...

Rote: Yes, Mr M too...

Van: we could not and find another way without losing our minds

*Martian Manhunter shakes his head*

Martian Manhunter: We can't travel through Boom tubes to an area we don't know. And your machine
                            seems incapable of reaching this area. It seems to me this is something that
                            they know that we don't.

Van: *sighs* alright. let's get ready for rigged games

*They head out to see Warp King and Mr M drinking cocktails together*

Van: Oh boy.

Warp King: Well didn't expect you to come to the party.

Black Canary: We need your help. Our friends are trapped in a dimension we can't get to.

*Mr M and Warp King gulp*

Warp King: Ah. I think they're talking about...the dump.

Mr M: Hey, first rule of interdimensional beingdom...we don't talk about the dump.
