What they walked into was... well absolutely no good if they were going to have any sort of physical confronation.
The crowd were all chanting and praising Nyx, by many names besides Nyx. These apparently were all the Pagans and Wiccans for miles around, as they didn't seem mindless or controlled in any way that the group could detect.
What was evident is that Nyx was growing ever stronger with each chorus.
Nyx herself was on stage leading her own chant, smiling and inciting them into further worship of her. Her eyes only momentarily flicked over to the group as they arrived from the Nevernever.
Suddenly both Brigid and Matthias felt an ephemeral
snap as, at least for the time being, their ability to sense or access the Nevernever was stripped from them.
"Oy, ye tart! Ye cannae just take away me way home." Brigid reasserted her will, which caused Nyx to frown briefly. "That's right ye cannae keep me from goin home if I choose. Ye may keep me from comin back here, but me home is me home."
Matthias felt that when Brigid snapped Nyx's influence on her, it freed him as well. However, he felt fairly certain if he stepped back into the Nevernever right now, he might not step back out of it, similar to what Brigid stated.

Spawn, Lucifer, Hercules and Constantine could immediately sense the divine power that Nyx was gathering to herself. Why would she have the need to be even more powerful? She was, by their estimation, clearly the most powerful single being in this universe at the moment.
Doreen had gotten distracted and had bought a bag of peanuts from a vendor - a few of them were coming out of the woodwork as the gathering got larger and longer.
"Speak your piece, heroes. What do you offer that my father could not?"

Meanwhile... at the Watchtower...
In the corner of this secure room - one that had held such menaces as Superboy Prime in the past, an impossible portal opened up. Into that portal flew every last bit of ice cream and banana that Bob had been provided. He couldn't just let all those treats go, right? Surely he could go after them? He didn't really have long to think about that as it drew him in too..
Back in Fountain Square...
Until he landed on top of a crowd, along with the bananas and ice cream. The crowd, initially shocked by the food from the sky, caught Bob and he was crowd surfing, a banana in one hand and a bowl of ice cream in the other. Life was good.
Of course, this meant that the others - Lucifer, Matthias, Constantine, Spawn, Doreen, and Hercules just witnessed a yellow pill shaped creature fall from the sky amidst a rain of bananas and dishes of ice cream. And the crowd's subsequent acquiescence to the appearance of Bob.
