Chapter 1
I don't know why Luthor wanted to see me, and I don't know why he wanted me to see him in his office either. But after a long wait in his waiting room, I was finally called into his office. "Hello, Leonard" said Luthor. "Hey Lex, what do you want?" I asked. "You recall that you and I became members of the justice league, when we saved the world, when the league couldn't?" asked. I looked at him very annoyed. "we couldn't do the league base, why" I asked. "Just answer, Leonard" said Luthor even more annoyed. "Yes, alright, I remember I helped you save the world and I got credit cuz I froze someone's leg off, ok" I said. "Good, and remember while you helped me, your team of rogues saved central city, with the loss of poor Heatwave, god bless his soul" said Luthor. I looked at him with seriousness and was starting to question myself why I even came here. "Why are you bringing Mick, into this?" I said with less annoyance and more anger. "Ahh, if there is anything I admire about you Leonard, is your sense of loyalty" Said Luthor. I then got up from my chair and put my hands on Luthors' business suit, pulling him forward so we're eye to eye. "Answer my question Luthor. What's. This. About. Mick?" I said. "Easy, there Snart. Let's not do something you'll regret" said Luthor as he pulled himself from my grip. "I mentioned your lost comrade, because he's alive" said Luthor. "What?!" I gasped right into shock. "You heard me". "That's impossible, he sacrificed himself so the rogues could get away in gotham, they saw him go down" I said. "That's what they saw, but here's what I have" said Luthor as he showed me his laptop monitor. In it I saw a security camera film of Heat wave strapped on a table and locked in a jail cell. "What is this?" I asked. "this here is a live recording from STAR labs, they found his body in the debris he left behind, they like your rogues thought he was dead, until that is he started to breathe" explained Luthor. "how do y-" I try to ask, until Luthor cut me off. "I hacked into STAR Labs to see if they were developing anything of value to me so that I may own, until I stumbled upon this. And before you ask the league for help, try to guess what they might say if you ask them to help you free a former super villain who has no control of his dangerous fire capability from protective custody" said Luthor. I thought about it and he was right, they wouldn't help me at all. So rather than saying goodbye I just started to leave his office. "Where are you going, Leonard?" asked Luthor. "to help a friend" I answered. "In that case" said Luthor as he got up and injected me with something. "OW! What the…what did you do to me?!" I yelled. "Trust me you'll thank me for this" Luthor said as he smiled creepily. I immediately chose to forget that happened and left his office toward the elevator. I took out my phone and dialed the first number on my list. "Hey Sam" I said. "Uhhh, hey Lenny, now isn't the best time right now" said Sam awkwardly. "You're with my sister aren't you" I asked. "Yeah" he answered. "Well, too bad you and Lisa suit up and get ready, and call Axel and Marco meet me at STAR Labs" I said. "What? Why?" he asked. As I entered the elevator I just stood in there and decided to answer plain and simple. "Mick's alive" I said as the phone hung up
2 HOURS LATER
Later that night, there I was all dressed in my captain cold suit with my cold gun and everything, still wondering what Luthor injected me with, and why everyone wasn't here yet. I then look at my reflection in a puddle, and suddenly I don't see it anymore and I see my friend Sam Scudder in his mirror master suit, emerge from the puddle, as soon as he came out I see my friends Marco Marden aka Weather Wizard, that 18 year old kid Axel Walker aka Trickster, and my sister Lisa aka Glider in her spirit form. "Hey Sis" I said. "What do you mean Mick is alive" she said straight to the point. "I mean exactly that. He's alive and those STAR Labs guys have him in there" I said. "Well why don't you have your Justice league friends get him out the old fashion and legal way" said Sam. "I did and they won't help at all" I said. "why are we talking about this anyway, lets get him out of there" said Marco. "Yeah I'm with weather wizard" said Trickster. "Easy there Trickster, you know doing this could get you kicked out of the league, right?" said Lisa. "Don't care Mick is our friend and a rogue, and we never leave a rogue behind" I said. "Alrighty then, lets go in there and show those eggheads who there dealing with, right guys" said Trickster ready to throw his trickster bombs. I grabbed his arm before he could throw it. "We're not going to break in there kid, we're sneaking in" I said. "Mirror Master" I said. He then took out his mirror gun and pulled the trigger creating a mirror big enough to go through, right in front of us. Mirror master was the first to enter, then me, then weather wizard, then Lisa until it was trickster turn who was still waiting outside the mirror looking all disappointed. "I wanted to break in there" he said. "TRICKSTER!" we all shouted, making him finally enter the mirror.
Meanwhile inside the STAR Labs, we all emerge from a reflection of a window coming out one at a time. "Oy Vey, this place looks like aliens landed" said Trickster. "Let's just find Heat wave and get out of here" said Marco. "Let's get to it then, Lisa care to take a peak around" I said. Lisa made herself intangible and walked through all the walls and rooms without being seen until she found him. She then floated right back to us. "Thank god you're ok Lisa" said Sam. "found him" she said. We then grabbed each others hands and we all became intangible as she floated us through a series of rooms without any of the guards or scientists seeing us. We then stopped behind a door which was labeled Rory, Mick aka Heat Wave. I kicked the door open and we all saw Heat wave strapped on a table with scientists examining him. "what is the meaning of-" said one of the scientist before I cut him off. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" I shouted. And then somehow I ended up firing my cold gun at him, freezing him. The other scientists charge at us, but weather wizard blows them away. Guards outside the door burst in pointing guns at us. "Put your hands in the air" they demanded. Mirror master noticed they were standing on a clean and waxed polished tile floor, with a clear reflection. "didn't you hear me I said pu…ahhhh" said the guards as they fell in the reflection. "enjoy the mirror world fellas" said mirror master. We then went toward Mick and unstrapped him from the table. "C-cold, guys is…is that really you?" he asked all groggy. "You bet it is, now let's get you out of there" I said. I try to help him off the table, but he collapses on the on the floor. "Oh god, what did they do to you Mick?"I ask. Marco and I then put his arms around our shoulders and help him walk. "They found me…they found me in gotham and I thought they were gonna arrest me or something, b-but they…oh I tell you they strapped me down and study me like there polking a dead animal with a stick, they were gonna take my powers away from me, I swear to you Cold, I'm gonna burn this whole place to the ground" said Heat wave. "Easy there, you know we don't kill, we'll sort this out later let's just get you out of here before they-" I said before an alarm goes off. "Ah perfect" said Trickster. Then guards started running towards this lab. "mirror master get us out of here" I said. Mirror master then made his mirror Marco and I take some time as we try to move the half conscious heat wave into it, as soon as we enter, Glider, and trickster enter the mirror, but just as he enters the guards entered the room and fired their guns, shattering the mirror and disrupting the transport. The rogues and I burst out of a window and appear in some laboratory, that is all except Axel. "Where the heck is Trickster" I yelled. The scientists then run away and the lab is filled with guards.
Mean while outside the facility Axel wakes up out of a puddle. "I'm Ok" said trickster. "Guys? Where are ya?" he asked. Axel then turned his head and heard all the shouting, gunfire, and powers blasting off, and knew what was happening. "Looks like its up to Axel Walker aka the trickster to save the rogues again" he said to himself. He then turns around and sees a STAR Labs van enter the premises. Trickster smiled and said "this is gonna be fun"
Back inside the building Captain Cold had just froze 10 guards with his gun as weather wizard blew 15 away. "Where are all these guys coming from?!" I yelled. "Doesn't matter just keep fighting" said Lisa. Then out of nowhere we hear a car horn honking off in rhythmic tune. And then a van just crashed through the garage. "hey guys" said Axel. "Trickster!" I yelled. All the rogues then just went toward the van. "That's twice you did something like this and twice I've never been happier to see you kid" said mirror master. "OK, just get in" said Trickster. Mirror Master and I jump in the front with Axel, while Lisa and Weather Wizard open the back to put Heat wave in. Only to see it's full with crates. "What is this?" said Lisa. "I don't know, just dump it and get in" said Trickster. And like that, they did so, until there was enough space for all three of them to get in the back. "Peddle to the floor, peddle to the floor!" Mirror Master yelled repeatedly. I then slammed my foot to the gas and floored it, only to see the guards in security cars driving toward us in the back and heard police sirens going off in the front. "Mirror master I need a mirror NOW!" I yelled. Mirror master then pointed his gun and fired it creating a mirror big enough for the van to enter. As we drove faster and faster I heard something like static go off in the back. "What is that?" I asked. "I don't know it's going all hay wire" responded Glider. "get rid of it, quick" I said. Lisa and Marco then push it out of the van only for it to go even more haywire. "OK Axel, as soon as we enter that mirror, you'll throw one of your trickster bombs, you hear me" I said as he responded with a nod. But then I saw the crate they dumped out of the car and it exploded releasing an enormous amount of energy pushing toward the mirror even faster. As soon as it enters, the mirror shatters.
Meanwhile in another city, the van that the rogues stole just burst out of a glass building, onto the road. I look out the wind shield and see that I'm on the wrong side of the road. "LOOK OUT!" yelled Heat wave. I immediately turned the wheel and then crashed through a barrier and fell off a bridge. We landed on the road with the tires on the ground. And like that the car stopped. "Lisa, are you alright?" asked Mirror Master. "I'm fine are you?" she asked. "not really" responded mirror master. "I'm ok to sis" I said. "that was awesome" said the trickster all groggy. "shut up Axel" I said. "I don't know how, but you already made me feel even more worse than I already was" said Mick. "Hey guys where are we?" asked Weather wizard. "Yeah this isn't central city, and why is it day time, it 2 in the morning" said Axel. "I don't know…" I said noticing a lot of people were coming toward to see the wreckage. "…But I'm gonna find out" I said.
