DON'T OWN JL…BUT PAUL O'REILLY IS SOME DUDE I MADE UP…
Once again I need a certain amount of reviews before I update, savvy? ; ) God I love Johnny Depp and Bloom, can't forget him.
J'onn placed a large green hand onto of Flash's warm forehead, " He is getting warmer, but he is still shaking as if he were freezing, " he stated with a sad expression written across his features.
" How long is Batman going to take?!? " Hawkgirl cried out, her wings flaring slightly showing her obvious anger, " As long as he needs to, he's worried and he won't stop until he has found the answer. " J'onn answered calmly,
" Worried? " Hawkgirl scoffed, " He ran off in half a second and he didn't call to see if Flash made it to the Watchtower all right! " She looked around for something to hit but found nothing in the area, " That is just how he shows emotion…he also feels…responsible. "
" Responsible? How do you figure that? "
J'onn slowly took an empty seat next to his injured friend, " I can sense that he thinks he should have been ready for a surprise attack or at least that he should have been the one to be hit. " Hawkgirl's wings shook, " Did you mind probe him? " J'onn shook his head,
" His emotions were so strong, they were had to block out. " Next to them, Flash groaned and tried to open one eye, " J'o—nn? " he whispered, wincing at that pain that ran through him, " Lay still, " J'onn warned him, " Hawkgirl, could you inform Superman that Flash has woken up? " Hawkgirl nodded, but was reluctant to go, not wanting to leave her friend's side. " uhhhhhh….I feel like I got hit by…a… " he stopped and tried to think of a proper word, " herd of stamp..ing…Hawkgirls… " J'onn gave the joke a small chuckle in reply,
" Do you remember what happened? " the Martian asked quietly,
" Bats and I were trying…kids…I think something hit me…" he replied, his words slurring together. The main doors slid open and Superman and Hawkgirl step in quickly, Flash weakly turned his head and attempted to grin at the pair, " hey, Supes…hwgirl…whatsup? " Superman walked closer to the bed,
" How are you feeling?" Flash widened his eyes and looked at Hawkgirl, who stood to the side with her mace hanging loosely from its strap, " ummm…ok…….where's Bats…and Lan..tern? " Superman opened his mouth to answer, but was cut off by the communicator, abruptly, he whirled around and beat J'onn to the device, " Watchtower? " he paused and waited for the person on the other end to speak, " Superman? I have the results…" Batman began, his voice hiding something, " Flash was injected with a slow acting venom from the Styisher plant, it takes about 30 days to kill a normal human, but in Flash's case it would only take about 8 or 9. "
" What can we do to cure him? " Superman asked not caring about the first bit of information, " The only plant known to help fight the venom is the Bultish herb…but—" Superman held the phone closer to his ear, " the only area that could support the herb was destroyed five years ago by land developers, " Clark could feel his heart sinking,
" However, I did some research and the herb still exists…Lex Luthor owns the last remaining one. "
" You have got to be kidding me… " Superman muttered, mostly to himself,
" supes? What's………the matter? " a weak voice called to him from the other side of the room, " Lantern is bring me back to the Watchtower, we can figure out what to do then…" he dropped the level of his voice, " How is he? " he asked quickly, " He's awake and talking…do you have any idea what the side effects of the venom are? " there was a pause, " I'll be up there soon. " the line clicked off. He replaced the phone and moved back towards his comrades, " supes? "
" Batman will be up here soon, Lantern's bringing him. " he added, seeing the quizzical look that passed over Flash's face, " ohhhh……J'onn told me what happened……how long? " Superman met Flash's eyes, the kid was smarter then he sometimes let on
" Batman says with your metabolism………9 days. " Flash closed his eyes, " oh… ok. "
Hawkgirl narrowed her eyes and Flash stared at her, " what? It's better than two right? "
He glanced over at J'onn who was holding a thermometer, " whoa buddy…where's that thing…going? " he joked before breaking off into a coughing fit. J'onn placed the device in Flash's ear and waited for it to take a reading, " 101.8, that is pretty high. "
Flash sank deeply into the pillow, exhausting beginning to overwhelm him, " not…really…'member…………uncle……point 3……whew…" he mumbled before going back to sleep, " Once Batman gets here we're having an emergency meeting. " he informed the two, before leaving. ' Lex…he has to be involved…this is his fault…'
A/N: Uh-oh is Supes headed towards the dark side like his alternate??
