Disclaimer: I'm new here so, I didn't put this at the beginning. I
DO NOT own Justice League or any other famous things mentioned in this
story. (Like Zelda, types of name brand food, and other superheroes
originally from Marvel or DC comics) I do, however, own Nichole! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
More weeks passed. Soon, she had been there for almost two whole months, even though it felt like longer. She was still in basic training with J'onn and barely knew anything about the controls. Mainly she would stay up with J'onn and they would talk. Nichole soon became very fond of J'onn and thought of him as a should-be-my-brother friend.
Nichole woke up later then usual one day. She found J'onn in the control room, after she had grabbed a bite to eat in the kitchen.
"Good morning, Nichole." J'onn greeted her as she entered the room. "Or should I say, 'Good afternoon.'"
Nichole smiled. "Good afternoon. Where is everybody?" She usually passed at least one person on her way to the kitchen, or at least in the kitchen, but today there had been no one.
"Green Lantern's in the training room. The rest are out fighting crime."
"Really? It's that bad?"
"I'm afraid so."
Their conversation was interrupted by a beeping noise coming from one of the controls. J'onn went over and pressed a flashing, green button. Wonder woman's face appeared on the small screen above the button.
"Hey J'onn. Can you contact Batman for me? The communications between the bat cave and the Javelin-7 are acting up again."
"Sure, no problem. I'll do it immediately." J'onn then pressed the green button again and the screen turned blank. J'onn was just about to press another button when Nichole stopped him.
"Please, let me do it." She pleaded.
"I'm not sure..."
"Oh, come on, J'onn. It's not like it's anything life-threatening! How am I gonna learn the controls if you never let me try? Besides, communications are just the basics, right?"
"Fine. Just don't bother Batman with any questions."
"Why not?"
J'onn shrugged his shoulders. "Batman likes his secrecy. We'll find out what it is soon enough."
"Yeah. The Justice League will find out, but will I?"
"How does the saying go? Ah, yes. Curiosity killed the cat."
Nichole rolled her eyes at him. "I won't bother Batman if you tell me when you find out."
"I make no promises."
Nichole crossed her arms in mock annoyance. "Superman's trained you too well."
"He's just trying to prevent you from getting into more trouble then you're already in."
"Yeah, I know, but he's coming off as an overprotective older brother."
J'onn laughed. "You should call Batman now."
"Right. What do I press?"
J'onn showed her the series of buttons to press in order to reach the bat cave. It wasn't long until they saw Robin's face grace the screen.
"Robin here. Who's this?"
"Nichole. Is Batma..."
"Really? Nichole?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks for those cookies. They were delicious. Although, I only got a few; Batman ate most of them before I could get close."
"You're welcome." Nichole said with a smile. "If you want, I could send you a whole batch. I'm sure Batman couldn't ear a whole batch before you can get near them."
"That sounds great."
"Anyway, is Batman there?"
"Nope, he's out being Bruce Wayne."
"Oh. Well, Wonder woman's on her way over with the blood sample he asked for."
"Blood sample?"
"Yeah. Don't ask me. I don't have a clue."
"Ok. I've got to go open the ceiling door for her. I'll be looking forward to those cookies."
"Bye."
"Bye." The screen went blank after Robin reached down and pressed the button to end the call. He then hurried to open the ceiling. It wouldn't be good if Wonder woman came and had no where to land.
He opened it up just in time as Wonder woman lowered the Javelin-7 into the newest part of the bat cave.
"Hey Wonder woman." Robin said as she stepped out of the aircraft.
"Hello Robin. Batman should be expecting me."
"Well, he's not here right now, but he should be soon."
"I'll wait then." She walked deeper into the bat cave then stopped and turned to Robin. "Where do you think he would want this?" Wonder woman held up a little test tube in her hand. It was half-full with red liquid, obviously blood.
"Put it on the table over there." Both Wonder woman and Robin looked up only to see Batman standing in the corner, in full costume. Wonder woman walked over to the table and set the test tube down.
"So, what's this for?" She finally asked after Robin had left the room.
"A little experiment." Batman went over to the table and set out another test tube next to Wonder woman's. In his vile was a light blue liquid. He looked up at Dianna. "Are you sure you got Hezekiah James' blood?"
"Yes. I'm positive. Who's Hezekiah James?"
"No one in particular. Just another criminal caught holding a home hostage."
Wonder woman's eyes softened. "How'd it turn out?"
Batman looked down at the floor. "Not good. It was a family of four. I was only able to save the mother and daughter." Dianna put her hand on his shoulder. They stood there for a moment like this. The both knew how hard it was to be in a situation where innocent lives were lost. Innocent lives they could have saved.
"What's in that vile?" Wonder woman finally broke the silence.
"This," he held up the blue liquid, "is Hezekiah's blood...now."
"What? How is that possible?"
"You were right; the rise in crime is connected with Nichole."
"What do you mean?"
He looked up at Dianna. "Those.... creatures. They're still looking for her." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
