Yep, the whole reason I had her tag along with Terry, other that them canonically getting along, was to have her react to what the Atlanteans are doing here.
One wonder how Orin will react to his alternate timeline daughter by Mera turning up.

Out of curiosity, why did you send back Ace? Also, do I know how to repair my suit?Yep, the whole reason I had her tag along with Terry, other that them canonically getting along, was to have her react to what the Atlanteans are doing here.

Ace got dragged in as a homage to several great DC fic's Mr Zoats With this Ring and Ryuugi's The Last Son of Tomorrow which both feature her in some capacity.
The suit comes with diagnostic and self repair functions so if it's damaged you can fix it as long as the damage isn't to extreme.

@toxinvictory - I just realized something that kind of gives me shivers about Old Bruce from Batman Beyond.
Consider that scene where he sits with Ace as she's dying, now consider that his dog's name is Ace.
I think that might actually be the legitimately saddest aspect of a friendless old man who's driven away everyone he ever loved. He even named his dog after the one person he couldn't save and had to watch die. I think my cold, black heart just broke a little.
Edit: Also, every day he has to feed, water, and generally take care of the living reminder of one of his greatest failures, to punish himself. Goddamn Batman, how do you turn an old man owning a dog into a brutally dark nightmare of existence?!

Yeah life has not been kind to Batman Beyond Bruce, Dick doesn't talk to him anymore and has issues. Talia got brain jacked by Ra's. Wonder Woman x Batman never happened. Barbara and him went separate ways after a destructive/unhealthy romance. Tim got tortured into near insanity by the Joker and was deeply upset by Bruce forbidding him from being Robin again in the aftermath.
Then there was the whole his failing health pushed him to pick up a gun, Alfred passing on and his company being taken over by the next coming of Lex Luthor. The guy's life is a tragedy of epic proportions.
A big point of interest for me with the temporal schnengains in Gotham here is that
the Canon Batfamily are going to find out just how bad things got for Beyond!Bruce in addition to reacting to the wonders of Flashpoint reality.

Well here is @Slayer Anderson 's Gift/Apology Omake. Bit short on descriptions, short in general but I think it gets the point across.
The President of the United States was having coffee when Amanda Waller's representative arrived. Not that General Wade Eiling officially had any connection to Amanda Waller who had been forcibly retired after one to many radical cough Nuke cough suggestions as to how the Amazon/Atlantean conflict might be resolved but unofficially it was accepted that Eiling talked to Waller regularly.
"Sir," Eiling saluted his back straight. The President bit back a sigh, despite cultivating a image of an informal and friendly man people were always saluting him. It brought back memories he would rather forget.
"At ease General, I didn't call you here to talk business. "
"Sir?"
"I find that there can never be enough good will between a ruler and his advisers, you were brought on my predecessor. I'm curious about you so lets talk about the man not the job for today."
"I'm not sure what to -"
"I know for instance that you were vocally against my election. A Hippee, naive showboater were the words used I believe."
"Sir whatever I said before you are the President now and I swore to follow orders."
"Oh I know that. Your a smart man Eiling, and a patriot to the bone. You wouldn't have been trusted with Project Firebreak if you weren't. But I think we should open with each other. I am an idealist, not because I think the world cannot be truly ugly but because I have seen exactly how bad things can get."
For a second the President looked haunted as memories of another darker time flashed before his eyes. But the past had no power over him. He had escaped it with the women he loved and found something new and precious here. He continued his speech.
"If Queen Diana and King Orin came to me today and spoke of peace I would welcome them with open arms. Because further conflict will only cost more lives. But just because I want peace doesn't mean that I blind to what we who serve this country may be called to do. My wife described it in a phrase to me Speak softly but carry a big stick."
Eiling eyed the President with interest maybe it was the candor of the meeting or the signs of strength he had seen these past months but the General believed him.
"I respect your ideals on the concept level atleast sir. My early misgivings were in error. Since assuming office you have done the title proud and I have no objections to serving under your administration. I only wish the time's were better."
"Don't we all General don't we all. I wonder If I could trouble you to join my wife and I at dinner at the Iceberg Lounge tonight? Your son is back in town I here and we would be honored to the hero of Jump City. No press I promise."
"I sure that could be arranged. Thank you for your time Mr Free."
"Please Wade, call me Scott."

Well, someone lied about being of native birth to get into office. Naughty Boy, Scott. Naughty Boy.

I feel like this should be familiar, but the person's identity escapes me.
An unintended sideffect of using hyper advanced magitech to create a cover identity.
One feels genuinely sorry for the poor terrorist that tries to take the First Lady hostage. Because well....
The newest President of the United States is Scott Free (New Earth) New God of Freedom.

So out of curiosity @Slayer Anderson how's Tula/You going to take it IC when someone mentions the American President's name?

Probably going to try to work out how I can IC be aware that he's an alien, so that I can let the king/prince know about potential blackmail.
