MatureImmaturity: Thanks for reviewing! Also, thanks for pointing out that I had grammar mistakes...I've really got to work on that area of my writing. Do you think I should also work on my constantly changing points of view as well?

Drunk on Tang: Here's more!

AntimatterManticore: calm down, okay? I'll answer at least one of your questions...what Flash meant by "It's time." Was that it was time to set things it motion. It was time for the superheroes to go fight. Nichole knew what he was talking about because it was the moment she had been waiting for since she had arrived...sorry I didn't make that more clear for you... As for your other questions, you're gonna have to wait for the next chapter. (Driving people up the wall is fun....in an evil sorta way...lol.)

Zeheria: yeah, I noticed you hadn't reviewed! Glad you're still reading! Even more glad you still like!

Nichole stood just outside landing area with Superman waiting for everyone to get ready. The time had come to start the fight and Nichole was getting nervous. However, this didn't stop her from arguing with Superman.

"Please, you've got to let me do something! I'm a huge part of this."

"What can you do? There isn't anything that comes to mind that doesn't involve you getting hurt!" Superman argued back.

"I don't care. If I get hurt at least it'd be while helping people. Besides, I've got a feeling that's where I need to be. Please, you've got to trust me!"

"I can't just let you go out there cuz you've got a feeling that's where you should be! You're staying here with Professor Xavier, Captain America, Rogue and me!"

Before Nichole could respond with a good comeback, Batman came in. "I'll watch Nichole for now."

"Where have you been?"

"Taking care of a few things." Batman stated. "Professor Xavier briefed me on the current plan. I'll take care of Nichole for now."

"Fine." With an aggravated look at both Nichole and Batman, Superman left.

"I guess you're not going to tell me exactly what's going on." Nichole sighed.

Ignoring her comment, Batman spoke. "You're staying behind."

Nichole threw her hands up in frustration. "Why? Why can't you all just trust me? I need to be there! I can play a part in stopping them. I know I can!"

"Enough." Batman glared her into silence. "You're staying here and nothing you can say or do will change anyone's minds. You've already done all you can."

Nichole just crossed her arms in silence.

"Now that that's cleared up, there's something I need you to do for me."

"What's that?"

"Follow me and I'll show you." Batman said as he opened a secret door.

"Can't you just tell me here?" Nichole whined. "I don't want to go down any more of your secret passageways or see anymore secret rooms!"

However, when Batman left into the passageway, all Nichole could do was follow. She might not have wanted to but her curiosity was stronger then her will to stay away.

It wasn't long until the reached the secret room Batman had shown her the other day.

"Well, now that we're here again, what did you want to show me?"

Batman hit a few keys on the computer. "What's your father's name?"

"Uh, Frank, why?"

"That's now the new password for this room, 'Uh, Frank, why?'"

"What?" Nichole nearly shouted. "Why did you do that?"

"I'll be going down to earth soon. If we don't come back by tomorrow, I want you to take everyone on the Watchtower and hide in here for a little while." Batman handed her a paper with various numbers on it. "Memorize these, then burn the paper."

Nichole nodded.

Batman took a quick glance at one of the cameras he had just turned on. "They're gathering outside the hangar. Let's go."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

Nichole soon found herself in a room filled with superheroes. It was almost like a comic convention (not that she had ever been to one) except the nerds dressed up in costumes were the real thing.

Everyone around her was either saying goodbye or trading last minute information. Nichole herself was going around saying good bye to various people. At this moment it was J'onn.

"You'll be on the space ship, right?" She asked.

"Yes, I will."

"Take care of Wally for me, will ya? Make sure he doesn't do anything stupid."

J'onn smiled. "I will."

She hugged the Martian goodbye.

Now there was only one person left; Wally. She looked around the room for him.

He was talking with Doctor Strange. Actually, from Nichole's point of view, it looked more like pleading. Probably talking about the invisible people, she thought.

When Wally noticed her walking up to him, the conversation was abruptly stopped and Doctor Strange left to talk with someone else.

"Hey." Nichole said first.

"Hey. How are you doing?"

Nichole shrugged. "I'm okay, I guess."

"Everything's gonna be okay..."

"Yeah, I know. Just..."

"Yes?"

"Come back safe okay?" Nichole looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears.

"I will, I promise." Flash reached out and gave the girl a hug. They stood there for a long while like this. Cherishing the comfort and reassurance they each felt in each others arms.

"It's time to go." Batman finally announced. "We've wasted enough time already.

Reluctantly, Flash tore himself away from Nichole and left toward the ship that would take him down to earth. "Good bye."

"Bye." Nichole said quietly wishing more then ever she could go.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------

"No! There is no way I'm going to do that!" Hawk girl complained loudly. "I thought the original plan was to have Wonder woman play that part."

Flash rolled his eyes at her. "Come on. Wonder woman's too tall. If we hide the color of your hair, it might just work. Don't you want save the world?"

"Give me my mace; I'll fight to save the world! But under no means will I wear that!" Hawk girl looked in horror at the very girly clothes that were held in front of her.

"I know. Pink isn't exactly Nichole's color either but it's the only thing Wonder woman could find."

Hawk girl sent Flash her best death glare, and then let out a reluctant sigh. "Fine. I'll do it but you owe me, Flash!"

Flash held back his laughter. Even if this plan didn't work, it would be worth it to see Hawk girl in pink.

While Hawk girl was getting ready, Cyclops was using his communicator to tell the superheroes on earth to be ready. Although skeptical, the superheroes agreed that this was the best plan available.

It didn't take much time for them to arrive. They had decided earlier to land a couple miles away from Xavier's school. The rest of the heroes were waiting at the school.

"Well, is everyone ready?" Flash asked, looking around to make sure everything was in order. "Alright. Let's do this."

A/N: Sorry about this chapter... I know I promised the next one would be long and full of action...have you ever written a story and it kinda took on a mind of its own? That's what happened to this chapter... I was planning on making it all about Flash's plan and such but then I realized I still had a few things on the Watchtower to take care of. But now that that's out of the way, the next chapter: Flash's Plan in Action!!!
