WHOA THANK YOU ALL REVIEWERS!!
I HAD A BAKE SALE THIS WEEKEND AND I'M STILL 12 MILLION DOLLARS SHORT OF OWNING JL ALL WELL THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT WEEKEND -
Superman paced around the room, carefully reading the computer document that Batman had brought with him, " This still doesn't make sense why target Flash? " He muttered to what he thought was an empty room,
" It might have something to do with the next part of his plan. " Superman jumped slightly, he didn't notice that Batman was still sitting in his chair, " He might have bought a new weapon that was too slow to hit Flash so he decided to get rid of him before coming after us. " Superman took the seat next to the Dark Knight, " That still doesn't add up… " Batman shrugged,
" It's all I have to go on, " Clark sighed and slumped low into his chair, " Are you going to go see him? " Batman turned his face away and slid the document back to his hand, " Who? Flash or Luthor…because I'm defenitly going to have a talk with him. " his last words came out in a sort of growl, " Maybe Lex didn't have anything to do with this…maybe—"
" He'd give us the herb? Stop being naïve, we both know he did this, its that simple. " Superman flicked open another file,
" Should we go for Joker or Grodd first? I doubt Lex is sitting at home waiting for us. " He added when Batman scowled,
" Joker will be easier to find, Grodd will be hiding in thousands of miles of forest, Sinestro could be in space for all we know—I really want to find who else was involed. " Superman raised an eyebrow
" You think someone else helped them? "
" I'm sure of it. "
" Phase one is complete, we will proceed to phase two. " Luthor informed the small group sitting in front of him, " For phase two I will require all of your assistance. " he nodded towards the three newcomers to his left
" What do you have planned, Lex? " Star Sapphire questioned, looking at her companions with a doubtful look on her face.
Luthor smiled, " I'm glad you asked Sapphire, as you all know one of the League is currently incapacitated, he will be dead in a few days…but I plan to strike before that, we'll create a little distraction down on Earth that will force most of the League back down here where we will ambush them, the rest will head up to the Watchtower, deal with those left there, and wait for the rest to return—"
" What about the ambush? "
" Like I said, that's just the distraction, once that team gets the signal they'll pull back, the League will receive an emergency call and return back to the tower, the ambush team will wait until the next signal then make their way up and strike the League from behind. If everyone does their part this will be the end of the League, forever. " Joker laughed, " As long as I'm on the team that gets to off the Bat. " He laughed hyestarlically, " Fine Joker, Sinestro you'll transfer the ambush team up towards the Watchtower, Sapphire will transfer the first team. " The two nodded, " Joker, Humanite, Sapphire, and myself will make up the first team; Sinestro, Shade, and Grodd, once he comes back, will be team two. " He gazed around, " Any questions? "
Humanite raised a hand, " Yes, two in fact, how do you know that most of the League will come down for those three? And when are we going to leave? " Luthor smiled, " Sinestro and Grodd were part of the first phase, no doubt they're looking for some revenge, and finally will leave four days from now, I'll expect to see you all here then. "
Flash let out another pain-filled yell, it had been four days and his condition was growing worse, he was burning through the sedatives and wasn't able to sleep or hold anything in his stomich for long. Diana placed a cooling cloth onto his forehead while J'onn gave him another dose of medicine, " Did Superman find Luthor yet? " the Martian asked the princess,
" No, and Batman searched most of his homes, the herb wasn't in any of them…he must have taken it with him. " He nodded sadly, not flinching like Diana when the alarm went off, " Should we go see what's happening? " J'onn nodded,
" That sedative should last two hours, let's go. " All of the League stood in front of the giant viewing screen, " Shade, Grodd, and Sinestro are robbing a bank, there's 23 people inside who are, as of now, hostages. " Lantern informed his teammates, Superman watched the screen, " We'll need at least two of us to stay here, to watch the tower and Flash. " Batman and Lantern moved a step back, " We'll stay, you guys can use the Javelin. " The others moved towards the hangar, " Keep an eye on him, John. " Hawkgirl muttered. The Javelin took off and headed towards Earth, while John began walking with Batman to the infirmary, " Aren't you even going to see him? " John questioned
" I have work to do. " Batman answered, brushing past Lantern quickly. John stood in front of the door and watched him walk away. Flash was curled onto his side, his breathing deep and slow, indicating he was asleep. Lantern moved to the chair that had been placed next to the bed and sat down only to jump up quickly when he realized that he had sat on something: a batarang, or at least half of one. Batman had been by to see Flash, at least when no one else was around. A small red light began blinking, the silent alarm had been triggered. John gave Flash one last check before rushing out of the room, almost colliding with Batman, " Do you know what's going on? " Batman glanced at him and began running towards the control room, John at his heels, " Someone's trying to break in. " John moved towards the camera screens, " It's Luthor and some others. "
Batman began rapidly typing, " They've disabled our security, they'll been in soon. " John felt his ring glow, " We can't over power them, Lantern and if they find Flash…"
" So what do you suggest we do? "
" We defend ourselves until the others get back…I'm sending them a distress call now. "
" What if they don't get back in time? " Batman didn't answer instead he turned towards the sound of the doors being ripped open, " Get to the infirmary, help Flash. " " But—"
" DO IT!! " Batman snarled and Lantern moved back down the hall, Batman headed for the upper level.
" They're security is pitiful. " Humanite commented as he shut the hangar doors, " They probably didn't expect an attack on their base, where do we go first, Luthor? "
" The infirmary. "
OOOHHHHH CLIFFHANGER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
