I would like to thank Kindred Spirit and Marripossa for helping me finish this story. It was Kindred Spirit who helped me with the fight scene and Marripossa who was my beta reader. I would say more but I'm afraid I don't know what to say next. Please read and review.

Firestorm was simply on a recon mission. see something unusual report back pretty miniscule to what other members of the JL. the desert might as well be a exciting as watching hair grow.

"FIRESTORM!"

The hero stopped his flight hovering in the air. "Ok Fi maybe all this silence is killing ya, making your brain all fuzzy."
He went to move. when...

"FIRESTORM!"

Nope he heard it that time looking around him he finally caught sigth of something he did not expect. he dove down landing a few feet from the creature.

"You rang?" he asked.

The monster advanced further without hesitating it lunged at the fire wielding hero causing him to cry out. Igniting his hands he flew upward.

"Down boy!" he released a blast of heat straight into the monsters face.

The beast let out a roar before returning an attack of his own. The hero barely dodged it before he let out another burst of flame. Then suddenly the monster lunged up at him snaring him in his grasp that sending the hero smashing down on to the ground.

Firestorm let out a groan, but quickly fought his way out of the grasp. releasing a few hard kicks to the beast face then igniting himself further he unleashed a sizzling burn to it's shoulder. Causing his enemy let out a growl.

He quickly got to his feet fists held high but his eyes widened as the injury he had delivered was quickly evaporating the skin sealing back together.

"No way." he quickly ducked as a large rock was sent flying in his direction then another causing him to fly up into the air... "What are you some kind of hybrid?"

"Come here storm so I can tear you apart." Kelsey growled out.

"Sorry but I like my limbs attached thank you very much." Firestorm answered.

Suddenly a harsh hissing sound met his ears. He turned his head to see a what looked to be a swarm that looked to be across between a hornet with batwings. Firestorm eyes widened as something zipped by him.

He looked down at the long needle. "Terrific." he muttered.

He weaved his way through the new attack releasing a few flames to the aerial enemy before zipping fast across the ground barely missing a swipe from the monster below.

"Shoot!" he said through gritted teeth zipping back up twisting in the air as he avoided the winged creatures. He suddenly let out a yelp as something hit his calf. He sent himself forward so he was behind the creatures.

He clicked on his ear piece. "Firestorm to watch tower. Need assistance...like REALLY need it... he avoided another attack from the air... "Like now would be good!"

He suddenly got an idea. Quickly coming in front of the winged creature he taunted it. "Hey! come in get me if you can!"

The creature quickly aimed it's attack at him as he swooped back down passing right in front of the monster below. This time the attack grazing the monster who yelled out in pain. which oddly enough sounded ...human.

To his astonishment he watched the monster melt away into the prone form of a...man. He quickly landed beside the figure quickly yanking behind a large boulder barely missing the attacks above. Just when the hero thought he was done for he soon found the winged monsters either being apprehended or them retreating.

Firestorm popped his head up to see the grinning face of the Flash. "You huh...need help there?"

Firestorm grinned. "You know for a fast guy you're sure slow."

The flash shook his head as he came around the boulder. "Whatev...huh whatcha got there?"

Firestorm looked back at the unconscious man. "Not exactly sure...it's confusing."

The speedster titled his head. "You know...he kind of looks like that writer."

"Writer?"

"Yeah the one in Gotham Kelsey somebody. He supports us...I think." The flash stated scratching the back of his head.

"Never heard of him..maybe we...we."

Barry turned to his comrade. "Hey you alright?"

Firestorm raised his hand but simply collapsed causing the hero to quickly catch him before he hit the ground.

"Hey...Fi." he shook him gently trying to keep him conscious but was no good.

Flash clicked on his ear piece. "Flash to watch tower. Come in."

Hal's voice came over the air waves. "Barry! how many girls did you pick up now?"

"Hal shut up and listen. Firestorm is in bad shape need back up."

"Is going to be ok?"

"Not sure..." Barry looked back at the writer..."Better bring Superman."

"Why?"

"Because...it's complicated." Barry simply replied.

"Gotcha. Hold steady help is on the way."

Barry looked back down at his friend. "Ya make sure it's on speed dial."

The Justice League. No one expects them all to be together unless a foe with powers that rival Darkseid show up.

Barry was fast but he still hadn't found Superman and things were tough between Hal and Kelsey. With Firestorm gone Hal had to look after the monster.

The monster Kelsey had become didn't know what to do.

If it got too violent Green Lantern Hal Jordan was going to keep him in a cage. The Green Lantern's were masters at creating things to capture and hold their enemies.

Kelsey was trying to stay in control but it was too hard.

Hal Jordan tried speaking to him. Hal Jordan was a pilot not a therapist but he had some experience with the way people needed to be talked to.

" It's Kelsey right? Batman has told me a bit about you. Nice job wrecking the inside of Bruce Wayne's manor by the way. Batman told us you were still better company than the police and the reporters who have it out for him."
