"The water was eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit. That was a little warm for a pool. Did the temperature drop when that ghost appeared?" With nothing else to do, Nightwing had come over at Jason's request and begun testing the pool water.
"We keep it heated for the elderly and the kids," Daniel explained. "We haven't noticed the water getting any colder."
"I'll take a sample and analyze it." Nightwing filled a test tube. "Maybe something in the water made everyone hallucinate, or—"
"Or there really was something there." Jason stared at the pool. "Strange..."
"Did you spot something?" Nightwing inserted an instrument into the test tube and examined it with a miniature microscope. "Nothing unusual. The sample contains chlorine, the pH is 7.6, and there's no E. coli, Ascites Liver Cancer Bacterium, or Giardia. It came from a clean, well-maintained pool."
"Thanks. We do pay close attention to keeping the pool clean." Daniel nodded.
"So no particles that look like skulls, or death made out of molecules?" Kayla poked her head out of the water.
"No. Nothing like that." Nightwing shook his head.
"Then it wasn't a hallucination." Jason watched the surface of the water. "I can definitely sense something wrong."
"But you didn't find a soul in there."
"Right. That's the problem." Jason looked puzzled.
"Have you figured anything out?" Roland asked Superboy-Prime in front of the television.
"That place connects to another dimension," Superboy-Prime said.
"Yeah. There's a girl trapped there." Superman nodded.
"Strange. Why can't I see anything?" Roland blinked.
"Your eyesight isn't good enough to see into another dimension, is it?" Superboy-Prime yawned. "You need more practice."
"Tch." Roland smacked his lips. "But why is it connected to another dimension?"
"It looks like some kind of teleportation technology," said Solovar, king of Gorilla City.
"Technology?" Wonder Woman
