Rising with the Sun

"Are you sure about this Jack?" Superman asked for the hundredth time

"Yes I'm sure Superman" Jack said "hand me that notebook will ya"

Superman handed him a black and blue notebook "But what if something happens?"

Jack sighed, he understood the Krypton's concerns but he was slowly getting on his nerves, "Clark, you're turning into a mother hen" the man of steel closed his mouth with a snap and looked away embarrassed.

"Don't worry Wally will be fine. You and I both know that Bruce and Dick will have a heart attack if Wally out of their sight for even a second", Superman couldn't help the chuckle that escaped his lips.

"Besides, Bruce has lifted the ban on you so you can visit anytime you want, just don't step on any red buttons"

"I accidently blow a hole in his house one time and he can't let it go" Superman mumbled. Jack just smirked.

After packing the two headed to Wally's room, the founding members had decided that it would be best if Wally stayed with Bruce, that way he could move around and not be bothered. Also it was there that Wally was going to do his therapy with Jack.

"Ready to go?" Jack asked once the two entered, Pet smiled at them and stood on shaky legs, Shayhera next to him in case he needed help. He was slowly getting better, he made have way before his legs gave way. Shayhera caught him before he hit the floor.

"Hmm, maybe you should carry him" Jack said to Superman, Pet squeaked when he was lifted and nearly cradled in the man of steel's arms. "Batman not going to be happy when he sees this" Shayhera said

"He'll get over it" Jack said.

The four made their way to the hanger bay, passbyers staring at what looked like to them a girl carried in their leader's arms, Pet uncomfortable with the stares whimpered and buried his face in the hero's chest.

"What the fuck are you looking? Get your lazy asses back to work NOW!" Shayhera snapped everyone quickly went back to what they were doing.

Ah Shayhera always the one with words.

When they got to the hanger bay, Batman and GreenLightern raised a brow when they saw him, "Told ya" Shyhera said to the demon.

Jack just smirked, Superman tried not to squirm under the heated glared he got from Batman, sighing in relief when the Dark Knight to hold of Pet, who happily snuggled closer to the hero. After everyone board, the Javelin took off.

Pet's eyes widen as he stared out the window into space, it was amazing.

"Amazing isn't it" Jack said, Pet nodded happily. "We're about to land" Green Lightern announced, Jack then made Pet sit completely in his seat and snapped on his seatbelt.


It was late in Gotham, so late that no one would see the Justice League jet land in the backyard of Wayne Manor or disappeared beneath the ground.

"Good evening Master Bruce"

"Evening Alfred"

"The guest rooms have been prepared as asked, also Master Dick is here"

Pet watched the conversation for a few moments of interest, before looking around. They were in a cave, his ears twitched as he caught the sounds of bats. He squeaked when he was lifted by Jack, the man-demon carried him upstairs to the manor and to his room. There he was placed on his feet

"Big" was the words that escaped his mouth when he saw it.

"You like it?" Shayhera asked

Pet nodded

Bruce was glad

Pet then blinked as the something clicked, he turned to Jack whose arm he was using as support.

"Mine?" the question came out timid and unsure, Jack nodded and smiled gently "Yes, you'll be staying here for now"

Alone by himself? Jack and the others were leaving him? They didn't want him anymore?

"M'sorry"

"What?"

"I'm sorry, I'll be good."

"Wha-Pet what's wrong?"

"I'll be g-good, p-p-please d-d-don't leave!"

Pet buried his face into Jack's arm, his body shook with fear. Jack placed his hand on Pet's head a sad sigh escaped his lip.

"We're not leaving you" he said "I'll be here, so will Batman, and the others will come visit. We wanted you to live somewhere else, so you could move freely" Green eye peeked up at him.

"Not leaving?"

"Not leaving"

Pet smiled.


Amanda did not trust Maxwell, the air around him told of a hidden danger and for now she had him under very close watch.

"I assure you Ms. Waller, this plan will succeed" Maxwell said with that smile that sent shiver down the women's spine.

"I'll believe that when I see it"

Maxwell continued to smile

"I want you to close your eyes Pet"

Pet did as he was told; Jack then turned to J'onzz and nodded. J'onzz eyes glowed and he was thrown into Pet's mind.

Everything in Pet's mind as usual filled with twists and turns, J'onzz made his way to the main door. The main door was where he felt the huge shift in the red-head's mind. When he got there the main door was locked, when he tried to open he was thrown down onto his back.

He tried again, getting the same results. When he tried a third time he was thrown out of Pet's mind. When regain focused Jack was calming down an upset Pet.

"Anything?"

J'onzz shook his head and Jack sighed.

Pet slowly made his way downstairs, once there he debated where to go, he picked left and found the entertainment room and Dick. The two stared at each other, one shyly and the other nervously.

Dick wanted nothing more than go over and hug his lost friend, but the things he was told stopped him. If he moved to fast Pet would be frighten off.

"You live here?"

Dick blinked before nodding "Sort of"

"You know Bruce?"

"Yeah"

"…….I know you?"

"Yeah"

Pet made his way over to the coach and sat down next to Dick, he looked at him.

"What's your name?"

"Dick"

Pet nodded before snuggling up to the young man and watching what was every on the flat screen TV, he did know this person, he knew this because he felt safe just like in his dreams.
