Review of chapter "Time to regroup." from Obsidian
Review:
Great story. I like how you handled the Merger of Dick and Xander. Though no real resolution as to WHY all these different enemy's decided to attack at once. Seemed to me like someone was nudging people to do it. Thanks for the read. Looking forward to next part.

WTF? Quarantine? This was an awesome chapter, tied off this section of the story well, but it seems no different site-rules-wise than the previous chapters that weren't quarantined. Did TTH get new mods or something because this is the third story this month that I've been following that got quarantined
I hope Xander has some ruthless plan to take care of Lex Luthor...permanently.

Thank you. Xander is not a gung ho, lets go out a kill all the baddies. The joker wasn't in danger of being killed until the blood started to flow. Raf.
First I wanted to let you know that I love this story (even though having to constantly go back and check to see if the prior chapters were updated can be a little annoying, I think I get why you are doing it that way and I am adjusting but I think I missed an AN that explained it early on and I found this to get a little confusing. Now I am getting used to it and I think you make it work but only because you update the chapters frequently).
Odd/scary/neat thought, another cross of this kind but instead of Nightwing, Xander goes for Lex Luthor. What would happen if a villain of that caliber was genuinely all of a sudden replaced by a White Knight? Particularly if it was a merger of the same degree so they have complete set of memories and intelligence. It would work really interestingly as a wish!verse BUT I have to wonder at the limits of vengeance demons abilities if they could truly create not one but two universes. Maybe if it was either more than one granting it or if it was a higher level like D'Hoffryn(does he even grant wishes himself any longer? and if so who would be his specific domain of preference?) himself. How fast would Lex be able to build his resources if he was forced to start with Xander Harris' beginnings? Would the BtVS world really be worse off if Lex Luthor managed to take it over all things considered? Where in the Superman time line do you think Xander would best be inserted into? Or even if it was the same crossing point as this one what would the reaction of the rest of the world if Xander in Luthor lost a decade or two of age(so many different Lex Luthors, to many timelines and alternate realities, clones etc) then throw in the hyena benefits and stir and see what sort of trouble develops? I know that Superman never properly takes down Luthor for decades but does Lex know his secret identity by this point? If not what would be the reaction of Clark Kent if a younger healthier version of Lex Luthor sat down next to him and revealed what seems like some sort of nervous break down, particularly when Luthor picks up a California accent?
The possibilities are heaps of fun. Tell me what you think of the idea, ~Reflections

Thank you for the review. Wow. I haven't thought of that one, but what a fic it would make. Its something I would love to explore in the future. For now, Xander-Wing and Nightwing will take precedence until I finish the current books.
Again thank you for the review and the ideas. Raf.
