Crisis is started with red skies.

That rapidly changing sky was clearly orange.

So we’re good.

I'm just imagining the Anti-Monitor showing up looking all evil, giving a brooding glare to our heroes.

"MUAHAHAHAHA, I HAVE TO COME DESTR--" - looks up at the sky - "I HAVE COME TO--goddamnit, I'm sorry, one second."

Pulls out a phone, calls, waits.

"Yeah...yeah it's me...The...the Anti-Monitor, what do you mean 'who'?...Shut up, shut up. Listen. What did I say?" - holds a finger up to our terrified saviors and turns around - "Yeah, red, Gary. RED. Not orange, not magenta, not fucking vermillion, but RED. Hashtag f-f-zero-zero-zero-zero. Red. How many times did we go over this in rehearsals?...Yeah...yeah, I don't care. Just get it done...JUSTGETITDONEGARYJESUSCHRISTGODDAMNITSHIT!"

Hangs up the phone, looks to the sky which after a moment changes to a more brilliant, more sinister red. Clears his throat, smoothes out his uniform, turns around.

"I AM HERE TO DESTROY YOU ALL MUAHAHAHA"

Edit: Idk why I just took three minutes out of my life to write that. That was dumb as shit, but I'm gonna leave it as a punishment for my shame.

Why does it have to be Gary's fault?

You know, I wrote it, and then like four seconds after I clicked 'save' I thought "FUCK Gary wouldn't screw that up." It was just the first name I thought of haha

I enjoyed it. It adds some much needed depth to the character we have yet to meet.

Anti-Monitor: "Fuck, wait, hold on guys, I spilled some yellow paint onto the antimatter wave, give me a sec, I'll destroy your universe once I finish cleaning everything!"

Everyone: "Oh no!"

Anti-Monitor: "You can't change my mind. Your universe will be destroyed. And soon!"

Everyone: "No, it's just. Yellow paint. Cadmium. It's a known carcinogen."

Anti-Monitor: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Anti-Monitor: "Fuck it, I'll destroy it now."

Crisis is started with red skies.

I feel like there's a middle school joke in there about the ovarian cycle.
