"Well? What is it?" Bruce asked as they made their way into the

watchtower. His voice was impatient and snappy.

"Did we interrupt something?" Flash asked, chucking.

"Actually, yes." Bruce replied flatly. Flashes brow raised and he shut up.

"Anyways... There's an invasion on the planet Lywik. GL is there now

trying to figure out exactly what is wrong." Clark told them.

"Where is Diana?" J'onn asked quietly.

"Hawk girl is still trying to make her relax, but so far it's proven difficult.

But that's not important now, we have to help GL." Flash said, and

everyone present agreed. It stayed silent for to long, and J'onn couldn't

take it.

"Well, perhaps we should be going to assist John then..." J'onn said.

"Yes, we haven't got time to waist." Clark said as they all made their way

to the ship. J'onn and Bruce sat up front in the drivers seats, and The

martian took his cape off, then turned on the Javelin. They took off from

the satellite, heading in the direction of the planet.

"Why do you take your cape off J'onn?" Flash asked.

"It sticks to my back when I drive. Very distracting.." J'onn replied. Flash

nodded and took a seat.

"Do we know if Diana and Hawk Girl will make it? We may need back

Up..." Flash asked.

"I'm sure that Diana will cool down soon enough. Give her time." Clark

told him.

"But wow Bruce, she really had a bone to pick with you huh?" Wally said, l

aughing. Bruce only grumbled in response.

"What? She did, didn't she?" Flash looked around, asking again.

"Yes she damn well did. Now if you'd please stop bringing it up, that would

be much appreciated." Batman snapped.

"Oh... Sorry bats... I didn't think it'd bug you that much." Wally said,

sounding hurt. But Bruce didn't respond. They flew in silence for a while,

passing planets and galaxies.

"So, what are we to be looking for on this planet? Besides John that is."

J'onn asked, trying to break the silence.

"Well, all we got from the message was "help needed, any help at all.

Please send someone." But that's all there was." Superman said, looking

out the window.

"That's it huh? Well.. I guess we're gonna have to see what we are dealing

with while we deal with it.." Bruce said as they made they're way into

Lywiks atmosphere. The javelin glided smoothly in, breaking the purple

clouds that filled the dark sky. The ground was a deathly black colour, and

what little vegetation that was there, was beyond dead. Corpses and

bones littered the soil, and the small puddles of what looked to be water,

but obviously wasn't, due to the orange colour and the fact that it was

boiling, were spread across the vast black land. Disfigured creatures with

extra limbs and ooze dripping from them wondered aimlessly around.

"Cheery place..." Wally said, swallowing hard.

"What...what happened?" Clark asked out loud. He pressed his

communicator, trying to contact the other member of the league on the

planet.

"GL? Come in GL!" A frantic voice came from Superman.

"...zzz...zzzzz."

" John?! Can you read me?" Clark cried out.

"Zzzzzz...n...lf...d...d..." A very static sounding John Stewart voice could

be heard on the other line.

"Shit! John are you there?! Tell us where you are!" Clark yelled and

slammed him fist on the desk.

".…..." The line stated dead.

"We have to go find him." Bruce said, standing up.

"I agree. We cannot lose him." J'onn said as he adjusted his cape.

"But.. look at what's out there guys!" Flash said.

"Then wait here till Hawk Girl and Diana get here, ok?" Clark said,

irritated.

"Fine, you guys go, I'll call the girls." Flash said, sounding relieved. They

nodded and the door to outside opened.

"Oh cripes! What the hell is that smell?!" Flash said, waving at the air in

front of him.

"Sulfer. And god knows what else is on this god forsaken planet..." Bruce

said, kicking a small rock into the orange pool of strafe bubbling liquid. It

stayed on the surface, then sank in slowly.

"What's that noise?" J'onn asked. A faint whining and fizzing could be

heard. Then a very loud "POP!"

"Good god! What was that?!" Flash asked.

"The rock..." Bruce said, pointing to the same rock he had kicked into the

liquid.

"We sure as hell ain't in Kansas anymore..." Flash said as the the others

made their way out to Lywik, and he tried to contact the girls
