Pulled into the web

After familiarizing herself with the details of her new position, Barbara took a shower and, exhausted, fell asleep in her bed. She awoke to a mysterious ghost-like figure over her bedside, hovering over her body.

"Gah! What--who--" Barbara sputtered as she woke.

"My apologies, Barbara Gordon. I don't mean to intrude, but I needed to speak with you," the woman said.

"What do you want with me? Who are you?" Barbara asked.

"You may call me Madame Web. I've had a vision of an incursion, and you are in need of help to stop it."

Barbara was startled and skeptical. "An incursion?"

"Your universe is going to collide with another universe," Madame Web explained. "Your help is needed to save both of them..."

"Um, that seems waaaaay above my pay grade," Barbara admitted. "Besides, I have a *lot* on my plate right now... I've just taken this job managing my friend's band, and I've got this whole 'costumed vigilante' thing going on, and there's also my library job..."

"You will not be alone in this task. In addition to your companions from this universe, you will meet new allies from the other one," Madame Web said. "Their help is also necessary."

"OK, then... so, what're we supposed to do? I'm not exactly equipped to stop universes from colliding with each other," Barbara pointed out.

"You will figure out a way. You will find these new companions... and you will form a very close bond with them," Madame Web said ominously. "You will have to, or your universe -- and the universe in its path -- will be destroyed. You must stop this incursion."

"Um, OK... Thanks for the cryptic warning... I think. Any advice on where to start?" Barbara asked.

Madame Web nodded. "I've foreseen your direction becoming clearer at your friends' upcoming concert. Good luck, Barbara Gordon."

"Wait, what's going to happen at-- ...and she's gone," Barbara said to herself. "Well, that wasn't ominous or anything."

Barbara shook her head and got out of bed. She wasn't sure if what she just saw was a dream, but she was sure of one thing -- massive dimensional cataclysm or not, her first gig as a manager was going to be... memorable, to say the least.
