This is a story idea that refused to leave my head until I wrote it down. I have no idea how many chapters will be written but I had to get it down on paper. Please tell me what you think and give me feedback.

BE WARNED! This is going to be a fairly angstful story and will contain slash (male/male) pairings, if this offends you leave now because I will insult any flames I receive on the subject. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Chapter 1

Flash threw himself on the couch in the Watch Tower with a sigh of relief, it had been at least a month since he had a moment to relax. It seemed like every time they turned around lately there was some idiot trying to take over the world or some body out for revenge on the League.

Enjoying the absence of the emergency lights, which seemed to have been continuously on for the last 30 days, Flash clicked on the tv in his room catching the intro into some news segment.

The male news anchor seemed to be just doing the lead in, "…and in other news there appears to be no leads in the complete disappearance of two teens from Dakota City…" Flash's mouth dropped open and he sprung to his feet as a picture of Virgil and Richie flashed on the screen behind the anchor.

In a minute he was in the main room quickly comming the rest of the League as he tuned in the channel. The six others appeared ranging from slightly perturbed to downright pissed that their first break in a long time had been interrupted.

Batman stalked forward, "Flash! What the hel…."

He was quickly cut off "Bruce, shut up and listen!" as the large screen was tuned to the news station. The anchor was still talking but the pictures behind him were gone so the rest of the league waited impatiently for what could possibly be so important.

"For more on this startling disappearance we'll go to Amy Wong who is currently in Dakota City. Amy?" A pretty young Asian woman appeared on the screen standing in front of Dakota High School. "Thanks Rick, yes it has been approximately one month since Virgil Hawkins and Richard Foley, both students at this high school, disappeared without a trace."

Every single one of the Leaguers stood in stunned silence as she continued, "There has been no clues and police are at a standstill, they are asking if anyone has any information to please come forward."

The picture changed showing a haggard looking Mr. Hawkins, Adam, & Sharon who spoke to the camera, "Please, if anyone knows anything about my baby brother contact the police, and if you're out there we want you home so badly."

The screen faded back to the on scene reporter looking somber, "Back to you in the studio Rick."

Flash clicked off the screen turning to the other members as they went into the meeting room, each taking a seat at the large table, Superman was the first to speak "How on Krypton did we not know?"

He looked around the table trying to find an answer, Batman narrowed his eyes in thought, "They had a communicator, have we gotten any messages from them lately?"

"I don't think we've checked our data messages in weeks Bruce, we've been so busy." Sighed Green Lantern in regret. Batman quickly moved to the console calling up their data messages; there were multiple messages from Dakota.

Flash summed it up, "Shit."
