Diclaimer: I do not own them
Rising with the Sun
John landed on top of a burger joint that gave him a good view of City Park, it was his night to portal Central City. After Wally's disappearance the founding members took turns patrolling Central City, not that it needed to but it helped keep their minds occupied.
John sighed things haven't been going well lately not only between him and Shyhera but with all of them, tempers were high to the point everyone avoided each other, the only voice of reason was Jack and at times even he lost his temper with them.
Though there was an upside, the criminals were scared stiff of them now, that there was rarely a person doing crime in their represented city even Gotham.
"CADMUS doesn't see to that way" John thought with a frown, the organization seemed determined to eliminate them. A scream echoed from the park, Jack flew off.
The women sat there on the ground staring wide eyed, shocked and surprised at the body that she tripped over laying feet away from her, squeaking when John landed next to her.
"What wrong?" he asked helping her up the women pointed a shaky finger at the body.
John went over to examine it he was able to turn the body on its back before his hand was shocked with electricity. He cradled his hand and looked at the person's face, his whole body went seemed to turn and he paled "W-Wally?"
Jack straighten his trench jacket wrapping it tighter around him, it was getting colder. He was almost home when John's voice echoed in his ear.
"Jack" Jack frowned something wasn't right with John's voice.
"John what's wrong? Are you alright?" it took the man a while to answer
"I- think -I found Wally"
Jack eyes widen slightly, they sparkled with hope, but as quickly as that spark of hope came it left.
"Are you sure?" he asked, they weren't sure how-they suspected it was Luther, who currently is still hiding- but the criminals knew about Wally how much they weren't sure and about a month after the boy's disappearance Wally imposters were showing up everywhere.
Apparently they thought that they could lure the founding members into a trap. It worked but only to piss them of, he wasn't sure the Penguin would ever be the same again.
"Yea I'm sure" John sounded very sure
"Where are you?"
"In City Park" Jack looked around City Park was six miles away from where he was "Alright I'll be there soon" he then called the fall winds to him, it swirled around him and then he disappeared.
John looked up when Jack appeared next to him, the man demon kneeled down. He didn't touch the body instead he moved his face inches away from the young man's dirty face and sniffed, concertinaing hard he blocked out the smells of dirt and blood, soon his sense were filled with the familiar scent of earth, lightening and something that he knew all to well.
"Well?" John asked Jack never looked away form the young man when he answered
"Call the others"
Diana quickly made her way to the Medical Bay meeting Shayhera along the way, the two glanced at each other, after Shayhera returned it had been tensed between the two, but for now that in the past for now.
They met GreenLatern and J'onzz in front of the operating door the viewing screen black, the red light on.
"What's going on?" Shayhera asked
"They just started" John said, "I've contacted Superman and Batman, they're on their way now" J'onzz said, twenty minutes later the two arrived, GreenLatern retold them everything while they waited.
For hours they waited, Batman pacing back and forth, the tower was a buzz with talk about the person Jack and the Latern brought wrapped up and hidden in Jack's coat, finally around four am the red light went off, heads looked up Batman stopped as the door opened.
Jack stepped out moving aside to let the nurse wheel Wally's now sleeping form away to one of the private rooms, Batman looked at Jack, the man-demon looked ready to collapse. His shirt was undone and unbuttoned his hair that was in a ponytail was now loose his eyes were red and droopy bags under, he looked older then what he really was.
Jack let out a breath of air as he sat down clipboard of Wally's injuries in hand, "Jack are you alright?" Shayhera asked,
Jack sighed "Yes and no" he then said before listing off all everything, they listen their anger growing as list of injures grew and grew each more horrible then the last.
Jack then paused, first to control his anger then out of hesitation, he knew that they wouldn't be happy about the next two injures, they would be downright homicidal.
"He was also raped" silence and then they exploded, well Diana, John, Shyhera, and Clerk exploded, J'onzz and Bruce were silent, but Jack knew they were angry from the way J'onzz body tensed and Bruce's eyes narrowed. It was when John's eyes started glowing and his ring started to spark, that Jack silences them.
"Calm down" he said "I understand how you feel, but you're doing Wally no good ranting and raving. The important thing is that Wally is here safe and sound, you can get your revenge later…. and another thing Wally's brain waves are showing signs of amnesia" they were stricken speechless.
Amnesia?
"He won't remember us?"
Jack nodded gravely "There is a high possibility", they where silent again many question and thoughts running through their minds.
"Can we see him?" Shayhera finally asked.
"This way" the seven made their way to the room, minds so heavily filled but their steps slightly lighter, the thought of Wally not remembering them was unnerving…but he was alive and safe with them and that was good enough.
