[ EU ] Imagine batman in the marvel universe

Batman lifted himself off the ground. He looked around, taking in his new surroundings. 
 
 `` This is n't Gotham.'' 
 
 The last thing Batman remembered was the Joker pointing a gun at him, but instead of shooting bullets, a ray of some sort came from the barrel. 
 
 `` This looks like New York City. But there are buildings in the skyline I do n't recognize.'' 
 
 Batman reached up to his ear to turn on his communicator. `` Alfred, can you hear me. Alfred?'' All Batman heard was silence. `` My communicator is working, but I'm not reaching Alfred. I need to figure out where I am.'' 
 
 Batman grabbed his grapple from his belt and shot at a nearby rooftop. He flew through the air and climbed up, studying the skyline through his new perspective. 
 
 `` This is New York City, but I do n't recognize that building.'' Batman gazed at a bulding with a large `` A'' on the side. `` I have a feeling that building may hold answers to some of my questions.'' 
 
 As Batman swung from rooftop to rooftop, his mind kept drifting to an incident long ago. Back when he was more involved with the Justice League, he was transported to another universe where small changes in history lead to very different futures. Perhaps this was a similar instance, but how could the Joker have gotten his hands on that sort of technology? 
 
 Batman arrived on an adjacent building to the tower he sought. It did not appear to have any exterior security measures, similar to a basic office building. Batman was scanning the building when he heard an unfamiliar noise coming from behind him. He turned to see what appeared to be a man flying towards him. He appeared to be using some sort of propulsion technology. As the man closed in, he saw it was n't just a man, but a man in a suit of armor. 
 
 `` You know, I'm not really a fan of creepy looking people staring at my building. Is there something I can help you with?'' The man in the suit asked as he landed onto the rooftop. 
 
 `` I'm not sure yet. I do n't know who you are.'' 
 
 `` You do n't know who I am? Have you been living in a cave? If you do n't know who I am, why are you standing outside a building that used to have my name on it?'' 
 
 Batman studied the man standing opposite of him. The suit was an exoskeleton made of some sort of metal. His movements did n't appear to be hindered by the suit, meaning the man inside was both rich and very intelligent. Still, he was n't sure if he could trust this person yet. 
 
 `` Hello? You still there? If you just wanted to look at me you could have just googled me and it would have saved us both a lot of trouble. Also, what exactly are you supposed to be? The symbol on your chest looks like a bat, but I do n't know a bat-man.'' 
 
 `` You do n't know who I am?'' 
 
 `` No clue. Do you really go by Batman?'' 
 
 Batman was starting to get a little frustrated by the tone of this man, but he needed to get information. 
 
 `` Yes, I go by Batman. I just arrived in this city a few minutes ago. I was fighting the Joker and...'' 
 
 `` Wait, what's the joker's name?'' 
 
 `` His name is the Joker. You've never heard of him?'' 
 
 `` Haha! No, I think I'd like to though.'' 
 
 `` No,'' Batman scowled, `` You would n't. Anyway. He hit me with some sort ray and then I was here. You've never heard of me, or the Joker, but I'm almost positive this is New York City, but I've never seen this... your building before.'' 
 
 `` Uh huh. Jarvis, do a quick check for Batman and Joker for me.'' 
 
 `` Who's Jarvis? I do n't see anyone here.'' 
 
 `` He's my AI. You should get one for your... batsuit.'' 
 
 `` I have a butler.'' 
 
 `` A butler? That's very, rich, of you. Anyway, Jarvis has definitely never heard of you, so you're not very famous.'' 
 
 `` Then Jarvis may have confirmed my thought that I am in a different universe.'' 
 
 `` A different universe? If your suit did n't have so many gadgets on it, I'd guess you somehow escaped from an institution of some sort.'' 
 
 `` You're familiar with the multiverse theory I take it?'' 
 
 `` Well yea, I'm really smart.'' 
 
 `` Good. Then stay with me on this. I've traveled to a different universe before. Minor changes in our past lead to our different futures. I'd like to go back. My city needs me and there's no telling what the Joker might do if he thinks I'm dead.'' 
 
 `` Right. Well, you seem decent enough and my tech could stop you before you could do anything anyway. Why do n't you come inside and we'll see if we can get you back to your universe.'' 
 
 `` I would appreciate that. You did n't tell me your name though.'' 
 
 `` My name's Tony Stark, but I also go by Iron Man.'' 
 
 `` You think Batman is ridiculous, but you go by Iron Man.'' 
 
 `` Iron Man is way cooler than Batman.'' 
 
 `` And I have an emp that could shut down your tech if I had to.'' 
 
 `` Oh wow. You got me. I never thought an emp pulse would take down my suit. I ca n't believe I never thought of that during any of the times I was building any one of my 50ish suits. What ever will I do?'' 
 
 `` You're very arrogant.'' 
 
 `` And you're very... scowl-ly''. 
 
 Batman and Iron Man made their way down to the front entrance of Avengers tower. 
 
 `` Wait... so you go by Batman, and earlier I asked if you lived in a cave. You do n't actually live in a cave, do you?'' 
 
 `` Of course not. I live in a mansion.'' 
 
 `` That's too bad. The cave really would have helped hammer home the whole bat thing.'' 
 
 `` I work out of a cave though.'' 
 
 `` I knew it!''
