Back at the Watchtower...
J'onn was pacing back and forth in front of the monitor screen. He heard the door open and didn't look when Diana entered the room, followed by Flash. They both immediately walked out to him and with Diana giving a light tug on J'onn's shoulder, which made him pause and look at her.
"J'onn, what's wrong? Is something going on? Are you alright?" Diana asked. J'onn didn't reply, noticing the worrying look on Diana's face. Flash stepped next to Wonder Woman, observing J'onn closely.
"Hmm.. You do look a bit greener than normal," Flash joked, but stopped after noticing the glare Diana had given Wally. He gulped, stepping back carefully, not wanting to anger her. Diana looked back at J'onn. "What's wrong?" She asked, again. J'onn just stared at her before replying.
"I know this might sound silly, but Bruce missed monitor duty today. Though, he has never missed it once. Superman hasn't been in contact and Green Lantern has been missing for almost a week now."
Diana looked at Wally, then J'onn. "What about Hawkgirl? I haven't seen her around either, not after our last conversation," Wonder Woman stated.
"I believe she had left to report to Batman that she needed a vacation from work for a few weeks," J'onn replied back. Diana nodded. Probably the stress from looking for Green Lantern. She'll be better in no time. Wonder Woman walked in front of the monitoring board and began trying to locate Batman in Gotham. It surprised her that Batman hadn't been seen at the Gotham Art Museum robbery at few hours ago. Where could the Dark Knight possibly be? Wonder Woman looked over her shoulder to see Wally and J'onn looking at the screen, wondering what she had been up to.
"J'onn. Teleport me to Gotham," Diana had ordered. J'onn looked at her, as if to say something but stopped. He nodded and began teleporting her to Gotham. She disappeared and J'onn turned around to see that Flash wasn't behind him. He had probably already left. J'onn sighed, and went back to monitoring the world. It would only be some time before Batman would call, telling him he was fine. And that everything would be okay. J'onn was sure of it.
In Gotham...
Wonder Woman had just reached the Wayne Manor and rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, Alfred appeared, opening the door, a bite surprised to see Diana standing there. He quickly gestured her inside and she walked in. They both entered inside the Batcave and saw Batman wasn't there. Woner Woman looked around glancing at all the objects Bruce had collected over the years. From giant pennies to cards, Batman's collection was certainly growing. Alfred looked nervously at her.
" , how may I help you today?" Alfred asked, walking up to her, hands behind his back.
"Actually Alfred, I was looking for Bruce. I have not seen yesterday nor today, do you happen to know where he is or where I can find him. You see, he has missed monitoring duty today and I was not sure if he was alright," Diana explained, hoping Alfred would know of Bruce's sudden disappearance. Alfred furrowed his eyebrows and looked at the floor of the cave, thinking. He thought for a moment then looked back at Diana and shook his head.
"I'm afraid I have not seen Master Bruce for some time now. I has thought he has stayed at the tower with you," Alfred stated, "Although, I do remember Master Bruce had left for Central City, I believe, almost 48 hours ago. He left with a container that was made for trapping a certain villain he usually runs into in Gotham. I believe it was for Clayface, a dirty, mud-like monstrosity."
Diana nodded taking in the information she had just been given. Why hadn't Flash said something before, when they were talking to J'onn? Diana didn't know, all she cared about was going to Central City and hopefully having a run in with Flash. She went to the high-tech computer and typed in Central City's latest news. There it was. A report of Clayface holding hostages inside a apartment building was the lastest news on. She read the article and skimmed through the passage. A monster who goes by the name "Clayface" has been seen holding hostages in an old apartment building. Luckily, the Flash had came in and rescued the hostages while defeating the monster. Many citizens had stated they saw a man in a black costume rush into the building. The figure was a hero in nearby city known as Gotham. Apparently the hero "Batman" has been seen helping the Flash take down Clayface and captured him to bring to Gotham City Police Department. Crowds are going wild for this spectactular team duo. I'm Linda Park for Central City's Picture News. Stay tuned for more interesting topics and action!
Wonder Woman exited the article and said a polite goodbye to Alfred and left the Wayne Manor and began flying to Central City to have a talk with the Flash. After a while, Diana saw a sign that read "Welcome to Central City". Wonder Woman flew above the cities, a few people began pointing to the sky, looking as the Princess of Themyscira flew above them. She finally saw a red streak running below her on the street. Diana signaled Flash to stop and meet somewhere. Flash ran into a small apartment building and Diana followed, flying down to land on the balcony of where Flash had disppeared into. Wonder Woman opened the balconey door and walked inside, noting that this was probably Wally's apartment. A man walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, in a white t-shirt and gray sweatpants. He had fiery red hair and freckles dotted all around his face. His emerald green eye shimmered as he raised his eyebrows, cocking his head to the couch, signaling Wonder Woman to sit down so they could talk. They both sat down and the red head was munching on his apple, waiting for Diana to say something. Diana looked straight into his incredibly green eyes and stared, locking her eyes on his.
"Wally, we need to talk," Diana said.
Meanwhile...
Luthor was pacing back and forth in the meeting room waiting for Joker to arrive with Clayface. The door opened and Joker walked in with Clayface, who looked pretty nervous. Luthor gestured for them to have a seat as they were going to talk about the accident earlier today. Joker and Clayface sat down with Luthor and a few other members who were glancing at them. At the table were Luthor, Joker, Clayface, Captain Cold, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Sinestro and a few other members. Luthor looked at everyone before annoucing something.
"As you know, our mission to capture the Justice League has been going smoothly. So far we has defeated Green Lantern, Batman, and the Big Blue Scout, Superman," Luthor said laughing, before the others joining along. Luthor then, pulled up his hand, signaling everyone to quiet down. "Unfortunately, our mission to capture Flash had failed," Luthor said, glaring at Clayface, who slid down his seat lower, trying to hide the shame. Sinestro looked at Luthor, sliently asking premission to speak up. Luthor nodded.
"Our first attempt to capture Flash had failed. Unbelievable! From what I has heard, Flash is a remarkibly immature and poor excuse for a hero! Catching him would've been extremely easy if we actually had someone capable of catching him," Sinestro sneered, looking at Clayface who just frowned. Captain Cold raised his hand, and was granted permission to speak. Captain Cold narrowed his eyes and looked at Sinestro. "Don't underestimate him Sinestro. Flash is much more powerful than he looks, he may act like a moron, but his powers are not to be underestimated," Captain Cold said, while a few other members nodded, knowing that Flash was powerful, after all, some of them had tried to defeat him only to get humilated by the superhero.
"Boss won't be happy," Joker said, piping up, "Where is the old fool anyway?"
"You shouldn't call him that," Deathstroke warned. Joker just shrugged. But to his mistake, the ground had just started shaking, the boss had entered the room. His footsteps made the ground rumble as he appeared behind Joker, as Joker gulped not daring to look behind him.
"I do not like your tone. You should treat me with respect," He has whispered into Joker's ear. Joker then, imeddiately nodded, not saying a word. The boss took his seat at the head of the table and looked at everyone.
"Now, let's began talking," He said, and everyone nodded.
Wow! Thats the longest chapter I had written so far, things are about to get intense soon!
