Contagion-1

J'onn adjusted the saline drip as Superman and Wonder Woman watched from two separate cots. The Martian gingerly lay Batman's limp arm on his side placing the other one along his mid section, he winced sympathetically as a pained gasp escaped his lips. J'onn turned back to his two other patients who managed to regain some of their composure he handed them each a white robe and clothes to match.

"I want you both in the decontamination chamber, once cleared, I want you both right back here for blood tests… he looked at Clark… "Sorry, I'll have to use kryptonite to extract yours."

Superman nodded solemnly as he took the garments. Wonder Woman shook her head. "I'm so sorry J'onn."

The Martian titled his head. "For what?"

"If only- if only I could remember I would be able to help.." she trailed off biting her lip to calm herself.

"Do not blame yourself Diana we still don't know what happened, but I assure you neither of you would put Bruce's life in danger purposely. Now go Batman is in good care." he said placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Clark stood deep in thought as the spray washed over him. Why couldn't he remember? It wasn't like it was along period of time…or was it? He closed his eyes trying to trudge up some memories of the days events but was muddled, fuzzy, and it scared him. The spray stopped it's last of three cycles he stepped out wiping off with a towel before changing into the white scrubs and robe.

He looked at himself in the mirror disgusted with himself. Here he was the strongest man in the universe with multiple key abilities and still he couldn't protect his friend. He turned and walked out of the room just in time to see Diana slip on her robe, he stared at her he had never seen a woman so beautiful. Her raven hair was sleek with a hint of waviness to it, her skin tanned to perfection, only making her blue eyes stand out even more.

Diana turned at his presence and immediately corrected herself, she tightened the tie of her robe. She walked down the hall and he merely followed, coming up beside her.

"Have you remembered anything yet?" he asked well aware what the answer was because his was the same.

"No." she replied quietly her eyes clouding some as she worried about Bruce.

They returned back to the med bay as instructed and as promised J'onn hadn't left batman's side. He had changed him out of his bat suit and to something more comfortable. He laid out every piece of the expensive wear out on a long steel tray. He was in the middle of examining the cowl when the two hero's arrived; the Martian glanced up.

"Clark… he beckoned with his hand as he resumed his attention back on the article of clothing… "I want you to come look at this."

The kryptonian shared a uncertain look with the Amazon beside him but obeyed. He stood beside J'onn.

"What is it?" he asked curiously.

J'onn straightened stepping back. "I was wondering if you could look over this suit perhaps with your X-ray vision."

Clark furrowed his brow in uncertainty. "What good would that do?"

"To see if there is any abnormalities that my eyes can't detect. Please. " he coaxed gently.

Clark sighed turning his deep blue eyes on the item he went over it like he would anything else until his vision blurred, he squinted then closed his eyes. J'onn stepped forward.

"Clark? What's wrong?"

The alien pinched the bridge of his nose. "My X-ray vision isn't all that great I can't clearly tell what's going on."

J'onn frowned leading the duo back to their cots. "That doesn't sound good any other things out of the ordinary I should know about?"

Diana shrugged. "I feel fine."

"Still something tells me I should run more than just blood tests. Because-" he stopped when he heard a weak voice from the other cot behind him, Clark and Diana immediately got to their feet.

J'onn quickly was at Bruce's bedside. The vigilante moaned but he was no where near coherent enough to utter something rationally. J'onn frowned looking up at the monitors; his fever was flirting around the lines of 104 and critical. The Martian turned back to his friends.

"He's most likely going to say things that don't make sense I've managed to keep the fever at bay but if it goes any higher we're in for a rough ride."

Clark clenched his fist. "Ugh! This is absolutely ridiculous, my memory has never been a problem for me in the past why now? Why when… he looked at Bruce calming himself… "I don't want him to die."

J'onn walked over to his friend. "He won't, not on my watch."

Diana folded her arms along her chest. "How can you promise that when neither of us know what made him sick."

J'onn sighed. "There is one way I can find out, but I strongly oppose it."

Clark and Diana became interested immediately. "What is it?" Clark asked a hint of hope on his lips.

"I can search your mind but it's not only dangerous but highly complicated. I can't just simply grab the memory you'll have to try your best to use all your concentration to keep yourself steady."

"I can do that. We both can." Clark assured his friend.

"Memories are like a turbulent sea trying to find a key time frame is going to be hard and I can't get to it without passing through sensitive barriers. You both must think this through, I know you would shake the earth to help Bruce but this is a serious matter that can't be taken lightly.

Clark opened his mouth to protest but closed it as the Martian held up his hand. "Please, Kal'l do as I ask if any changes happen during your absences I will let you know. Let me perform the tests and then I want both of you to rest."

An hour later the alien closed the door to his quarters running both hands down his face. He never felt such anxiety, panic, the thought of never knowing what happened nearly stopped his heart. He sat on his bed in haling and exhaling a knock on the door brought his attention, by the sound of the footsteps he knew who it was. The door opened as Diana popped her head in.

"May I come in?"

Clark merely gestured limply for her to do just that. She frowned closing the door behind her. She turned coming over she sat down beside him hands clasped between her legs as she blinked back tears. The Amazon knew some of what her friend felt but she could never fully grasp the anguish the other was going through. Clark knew Bruce long before she came along they were almost like brothers though neither of them would admit it.

"I want to do it." she said softly her gaze on the wall across from her.

"So do I." Clark replied as he also stared at the wall.

Diana blinked back tears. "Clark, I'm scared."

The kryptonian couldn't speak afraid that he would voice what she felt emotionally. He swallowed back the lump in his throat taking her hand in his, giving it a reassuring squeeze not just for her but for him.

"So am I." he uttered quietly

They both sat in silence as they came to terms about what they were about to do.

A/N: I know it's short but please and thank you for reviewing.
