"Some things Helena and Barbara its always meant to be secret," said Liz, "You don't have to know everything about me, most things have to be hidden..for safety reasons."

"Oh...oops," said Helena, "Dinah, you can let Drake go"

Dinah releases Drake and he falls to the ground and he walks over to Liz and sit beside her, "I will tell you something, more about the other elements"

"There are more?" said Dinah, "I thought they were only 4"

"Four creating Earth..lighting element like me, creates death and anger..don't worry, I'm not lethal, only to my enemies"

"Interesting," said Barbara wheeling into the room, "So let me guess there is poison, ice, ECT?"

"Yes"

Ben stands up and he is now furious, "Great! The 'ancients' sent more elements to this...grrrr!" He punched one of his members of his cult down. He vamps out and grabs one of his cult buddies and snaps its neck.

***

Liz stands up and looks at everyone, "We need all the help we can get..to stop Ben..but I feared..and sense only I can defeat him"

"Liz, by the way, do you know this guy, that the 'ancients' that threw him out in the cold, before he revealed the truth, do you know who he is and why these 'ancients' did that to him?" said Helena

"He was one of the monks, back at ancient Egypt time..." Liz began to have a flash-back, with the monks and the raid of the crazed cult, "He watched..his group got slaughtered by Ben and the cult...he was young at the time, afraid and scared. Long before I became metahuman...when I was this firey orb, I felt fear for the first time..from him..he was suppose to die"

"Why?"

"Don't know...its how the thing works..don't ask.I'm still wondering about that part... ..and the apprentice, who helped the monks..or whatever became our 'ancients', he told them, he is a apprentice, so he can get out alive...and I feared he found something about the cult and the 'ancients' like there is a link between them.."

"Like what?" said Barbara

"Meaning something is bad is coming..to both sides...and I think the 'ancients' are part of it..so was the monks...I don't know the real truth..but I can sense the 'ancients' are part of it...we need to find out what..they are hiding"

"How?"

"We need to think of a plan"

***

A cloaked man, walks behind Ben, "Ben, you must kill the birds and the elements, they will destroy your cult.and soon....they want more...." he starts to laugh evilly

"I will, after I'm done with Liz! Don't you get that sparky! I thought you were in that nut case place...not the one called Arkham.."

"Well..I escaped..by your buddies...you still care for your dead girlfriend?"

"Your point is?"

"You need more strength"

"I have the strength" he said quickly and almost sarcastically

"You need to break her.."

"Did that..done that...unless you got an idea"

"To kill Liz..is needing me in the picture..and you can help me get to Liz and then the birds"

"Ok..your in..do you got a name or codename?"

"Certainly" He takes the black cloak off, "The Joker at your service" He grins evilly
