They were seated at a table for twelve, in one of the restaurants of the Zocalo. At the head of the table were Kosh, the Vorlon ambassador, and the White Guardian of Time. The latter provided long-overdue explanations.
He told them of the race of god-like aliens known, in the Marvel Univese, as the Celestials. And, of the renegade Celestial who first developed the Anti-Life Equation. "For this crime against creation, his cosmic essence was forcibly removed from his corporeal body (which now lies comatose beneath California's Diablo Mountains, on that parallel Earth)."
"What about the Anti-Life Equation?" asked Batman. "That was hidden on the same parallel Earth, in an area of chronostasis covering the years 2006-2026," replied the White Guardian. Then, Giles spoke up; "By that, you mean, time travel IN, OR OUT OF, that particuliar period is impossible?" The White Guardian nodded.

It was Harley, again. Only, this time, she resembled a clown-faced Princess Leia! And, she had Imperial stormtroopers backing her up; "OK, boys. Go get'em!!"

Get Giles and thes kids out of here. Zee..." Yet, once again, Zatanna was slightly ahead of Batman. "cigaM, teg su ot ecalpemos refas!" And, once again, there was dizziness and fog. This time...
