[Western Crossover] The Tuning Plan

There are a lot of original characters, so be warned. Check Chapter 32 for the character guide. This may be a challenging read, but since you're here, bear with it for now. To give everyone enough time onstage, I've sacrificed pacing and a clear hierarchy of importance. Feel free to skip around and read the parts you like.

Highlight: I welcome readers who ship characters to point out, with sound reasoning, where a character needs revision. I'll make careful changes when they fit the original context.

In a nutshell:

Three Bats can't hold back six Green Lanterns who keep throwing themselves into danger.

Five Bat-family members are no match for the debuff that wipes out the whole headquarters.

Unless the real Batman is in command,

no one can stop us from throwing ourselves into danger.

In the vast and complex multiverse, besides the Space-Time Administration and the Transmigrator Administration, another organization works in the shadows to correct errors in various worlds. It must remain secret and unknown.

This is the Tuning Organization.

Headquarters' missions include, but are not limited to:

"Just pretend I'm not your daughter," rated A

"The Dragon Who Stole Iron Man's Powers," rated D

"The Endless Stream of Adopted Daughters in the Batcave," rated C

"The Origin God Who Makes Superheroes Kneel," rated SS

"The Homelander, the Only S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Exempt from the Accords," rated S

"The Purple Lightning Possessing Barry Allen," rated SS

The Tuning Organization's agents travel between worlds plagued by interference. They come from different universes, and every one of them is the best of the best.

"Batman, Batman, Batman! Waaaah, I love you, Bats!" White Blaze, Elite Healer No. 1, suddenly shrieked like a deranged fan.

"I... don't want... to fight you." Green Lantern Ian, Elite No. 2, stammered before beating the other guy to a pulp.

"Ugh, I'm not that kind of Japanese psychiatrist." Scholar Elite Elano pulled out pile after pile of things that wouldn't pass censorship.

And then there's Smiley, the elite scapegoat who blames the real Laughing Man; Terry, Green Lantern No. 2, the law-abiding Legal Elite who beats people with law books; Maxie, Green Lantern No. 3, the Attack Elite who, lacking aim, turns his opponents into pulp; A-Shi, the Nature Elite who says, "Humans are incomprehensible," while trying to water himself; Tyler, the gentle, dependable, sunny, cheerful Nanny Elite; Nalika, the Chemical Elite, AKA the heir to the Speed Force, who can eat you into bankruptcy in one sitting; Rachel, the Mommy Elite, who worries every day that her coworkers will go too far...

"Wait, the plan! What happened to our plan?"

"A cape just got shoved in our faces!"

"Aah! Who stepped on my tail?"

"We're doomed, we're doomed! Stop, Green Lantern..."

"Just charge in. That'll do it."

Someone angrily took down the sign reading "Tuning Organization Headquarters" from the office and viciously replaced it with one that read "Total Wipeout Headquarters."

Every day, we worry that our coworkers will go too far.

Question: Why do we always get wiped out?

Answer: It definitely isn't because there are too many Green Lanterns.

[Warning]

This is an ensemble cast. The author is challenging themself, but has limited ability, so some characters may (or rather, definitely will) be portrayed inaccurately. I'm doing my best to keep that under control, and both the author and the contributors love every one of them.

Every regular original character (excluding villains) is a labor of love from the readers, with their permission. This is not a female-oriented romance, self-insert romance, male-oriented romance, or male self-insert romance. Aside from the original characters pairing each other up, none of them have relationships with canon characters that go beyond friendship or family. Nor will the story undermine the core values of the original characters or elevate itself by putting down the central characters of the original work, unless that character is logically unstable.

The author likes to show off their knowledge, so this may be a challenging read. I welcome corrections and suggestions about characterization, writing craft, proper word usage, literary merit, plot logic, and character preferences. However, I do not accept supposed criticism based on individual reading ability or preferences, such as "not fun," "can't understand it," "paragraphs are too long," "the wording is complicated," "not my thing," "too much scene detail," "there are unfamiliar characters," or "I can't make sense of it."

Anyone who wants to take part is also welcome to contribute to the bonus chapters. Make a request, and I'll write it.
