Kyle Rayner was finding this far too easy. Some guy in a blue spandex
attacked him and fired some sort of laser beam from his eyes. Kyle blocked
it with his shield of green energy and threw a green energy missile at his
attacker. The man shot the missile with his laser beam but it went straight
through it. The missile impacted and with a huge explosion of green energy,
that was it. Kyle was almost bored. That was pathetic. He grabbed his
victim's legs and dragged him towards where Superman was lying still
panting from the explosion.
Flash was helping out. He helped Superman and Hawkgirl recover from their
fights and dragged loser's bodies into a big pile. It wasn't taking long.
Isn't it great to be the fastest man in the world?
J'onn was staring at Jean. Jean was staring back. They seemed to be doing
nothing. Nothing at all. But in reality, they were combatants in a vicious
battle within each other's minds. They were both putting their minds into
overload. Slamming at each other's throats, strangling each other and using
combat moves never even seen before but all within their minds. The image
of Jean in J'onn's head attacked him using an imaginary knife burning with
imaginary fire. J'onn stopped it by stretching his head and body and
avoiding the knife. Jean retaliated by creating several imaginary clones of
herself. J'onn avoided every single one except the one he should have. The
imaginary knife dug deep into J'onn's mind and the pain that followed was
terrible. It was time to take physical action. J'onn broke the telepathic
link and flew towards Jean and threw a very powerful punch at her chest.
Jean still recovering from their fight was knocked off her feet by J'onn's
physical blow. She flew across the ground smashing into the institute wall
and blacking out.
Nightcrawler was stuck. He couldn't move, the lasso was too tight. So he
did the only thing he could do, Nightcrawler teleported. Wonder Woman's
contact through the lasso caused her to be teleported too and her visions
of red and black and shadows and flame terrified her. A second later that
seemed like an hour to Diana they reappeared on the roof on the Institute.
The feeling of nausea took over. She dropped the lasso and held her head
trying to stop the shaking. Nightcrawler undid the lasso around his waist
whilst watching his opponent desperately try not to spew her guts. He
waited until she drew near the edge of the roof then let out a single kick
that knocked her over the edge. She landed with a dull thud on the cold,
hard ground. She belched and blacked out all in one moment.
Beast was actually enjoying himself. He was jumping in random directions
and was being followed by random limbs of Plastic Man. He'd only been hit
twice so far, but Beast's plan was working perfectly. One more jump should
do it. He landed in the precise spot he meant to and Plastic Man made the
final bow with left leg. Beast walked up to the heap on the floor which was
formerly Plastic Man. He should be able to resort to normal but the knot
prevented him from doing so. Sometimes he hated being plastic.
