Icicle got the best of the younger inexperienced heroes and managed to lock James Barr the Bulleteer, the alien plant powered Warden, Vibe, as well as Toon Girl in a freezer with his incredible power. Toon Girl's hands were bound in ice behind her back. Roughly twenty minutes later Superman and Gypsy showed up to free their teammates after Icicle teleported away with Warp and another unknown metal artifact. Superman used his heat vision to simply melt the most of the ice, however he and Gypsy were shocked to find only Toon Girl remained in the freezer. 

"What's going on here Toon Girl? Did the others escape? Did Icicle..." Superman began to ask. 

The Man of Steel used his x-ray vision to look for the others while the living cartoon seemed a bit more quiet than usual. Something must have spooked her. However within minutes reality began to reshape and change itself. Up became down, left became right, and the world was spinning for the remaining heroes. That was until they found themselves in unfamiliar territory. Superman however, knew the place quite well.

"The 5th dimension? Toon Girl what's going on?" Superman asked.

[u][b]Somewhere else in the 5th Dimension....[/b][/u]

On this planet, in this reality, more and more things resembled cartoons. The citizens seemed smaller, some even had only four fingers. The trees lacked individual leaves and to a degree were more like broccoli. For the most part the citizens of this warped reality didn't even notice the three more normal looking heroes. 

"So one minute we're locked in a freezer with a cartoon, now we're in something like Cool World?" Bulleteer asked out loud as dwarfish people passed them on what looked like a busy city street in a Sunday comic strip. 

"I love Brad Pitt in that, amigo. I don't see any spider detectives or talking animals in this place though..." Vibe responded looking around. 

An omnipotent force watched overhead as the heroes scrambled to keep their wits about them. However 'the omnipotent force' sneezed and the cartoon snot rained down on the heroes. Vibe began cursin in Spanish and it sounded like he mentioned the Nickelodeon tv station and their green slime, but nobody else spoke fluid Spanish to know for sure. That's when the snot itself turned sentient and shaped into several one eyed monsters.

"Sentient snot monsters raining from the sky like some kinda God sneezed.... this is not how I planned on spending my Tuesday afternoon..." Bulleteer said taking to the air.

[INDENT][INDENT]In the wake of Extant's attack on the League, Superman had personally asked Ted to stay on full time at Metro Tower in order to train and prepare the greener members of the League should the Tower come under attack again. Like any good trainer, Ted had woken the group up at the crack of dawn, taking them for a five mile run before returning for breakfast. Breakfast had been nothing but a thick green liquid, engineered by the Batman to maximize nutrional intake and output, unfortunately it sacrificed taste and appearance in exchange. 

Looking out over the gym, Ted examined the sparring partners before him as he had Whiplash and Clayface fighting one another for Supergirl and the Rookie traded blows on the other side of the room. Whistling sharply, Ted made his hands into a 'T' as he took a couple steps forward, motioning for the group to come in for a talk.

[COLOR=DARKSLATEGRAY][B]"Alright, that's enough of that for now folks."[/B][/COLOR] Ted said, rubbing his hands together. [COLOR=DARKSLATEGRAY][B]"Now, we're going to focus on how you work as a team. You've tested each other's strengths, you've built your bonds, but now we're going to work on communication and co-ordination."[/B][/COLOR] He explained as a group of training bots emerged from the walls of the training room. 

[COLOR=DARKSLATEGRAY][B]"These robots will take the shape of some of the foes encountered over the years by the Justice League and the Justice Society. Each one will be chosen specifically to challenge the abilities of one of you, meaning that you'll need to work together to compensate for your weaknesses."[/B][/COLOR] Ted concluded as the bots began to change shape, the first training bot suddenly expanded in size, as its liquid metal nanites took the hulking form of the being known as Solomon Grundy. 

[COLOR=SILVER][B]"Born on a Monday..."[/B][/COLOR] The bot bellowed towards the Rookie as the second began to vanish from sight before the wispy outline of the Gentleman Ghost stood in its place.

[COLOR=SILVER][B]"Good morning Sirrah."[/B][/COLOR] The Ghost said with a tip of its etheral hat towards Clayface as the next bot took the form of the immortal Vandal Savage. Spinning a knife around in his hand, the master of warefare eyed Whiplash hungrily as the fnal bot began to transform. Its body turned purple as its mass began to grow only to suddenly shrink down into a wirey frame as beady eyes turned towards Supergirl, a mouth filled with rows of teeth opening wide before snapping shut.

[COLOR=SILVER][B]"So, hungry..."[/B][/COLOR] The Parasite moaned as Ted took a few steps back before a force field activated seperating him and the recruits. 

[COLOR=DARKSLATEGRAY][B]"Remember, work together."[/B][/COLOR] Ted called as the simulated foes began to bear down on the new heroes.[/INDENT][/INDENT]
