WHOOHOOOO GO REVIEWERS…I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!!
J'onn glanced at Superman, " We could use the Flitish from the planet Kilben, " Batman shook his head,
" That would put him in a coma, "
" It is better then the alternative. " J'onn argued, placing another i.v. into Flash's arm,
" J'onn's right, we don't have any other choice. " Superman nodded to J'onn who started to prepare the needle.
Batman moved next to Superman, " You know if we do this he might not wake up—"
" And he'll die if we don't. " J'onn inserted the needle into Flash's arms. Diana began watching the monitors,
" Everything is slowing down, but stabilizing. "
" This won't mean anything if Lantern doesn't get here with the herb. " J'onn shook his head at Batman,
" Lantern should be here in ten minutes. "
Lantern flew as fast as he could towards the Watchtower, Hawkgirl next to him, holding the herb.
" John, Flash is going to be fine. Don't worry. "
" Worry? Who said I was worried? " John looked at her,
" Your right eye keeps twitching. " She smiled softly at him, " Like I said don't worry, we'll get him the herb and then he'll wake up asking for 29 cheeseburgers. "
John activated his door opener and flew into the hangar bay, letting Hawkgirl out of her orb they both ran to the infirmary.
" We have the herb…what happened? " Hawkgirl looked at Diana, while John helped J'onn prepare the herb.
Diana moved Hawkgirl to the side and dropped her voice down to a whisper, " We lost his pulse, and his breathing was stopping…we had to give him the flitish to keep him alive. " Hawkgirl put a hand on Diana's shoulder,
" Promise me you won't tell John what almost happened. " Batman moved next to the two,
" Why? He has a right to know. "
" Listen Flash means a lot to him, he considers him like a brother…I know we all do…but with John…its just…I can't explain it, but it would kill him to know Flash almost died…just promise me you won't tell him. "
" He'll find out, if he asks why we gave him the flitish—"
"Ifhe asks…promise? "
" Fine. " Batman turned back and began muttering to Superman, who glanced at Hawkgirl then down to Flash.
J'onn held up another needle filled with green fluid, " This should do it, " He handed the needle to Superman to inject it into Flash's other arm, " Now all we can do is wait. " John stared around the room,
" At least he should be up soon, the herb did the trick right? " J'onn nodded,
" Yes, any traces of the poison should soon be purged from his system. " Batman dug into his utility belt pocket and pulled out a small disk; " Luthor was looking for this…Flash had it in his apartment. "
" Why did he have it? " Batman shrugged, " I wouldn't know, but this has a lot of information on it, blueprints, records…everything. "
" Let's give him some air, and go over the disk. " Superman suggested before walking out of the infirmary with Batman, Diana, and Hawkgirl following him closely.
John stayed to help J'onn wrap Flash's ribs, " J'onn, I know I'm not as good as you when it comes to medicine, but are those vitals right? " He asked pointing to the monitor, " I mean it looks like his in—" J'onn looked away,
" We had no choice but to give him flitish. "
" WHAT!? "
" He was dying, Lantern, this was the only way to save him. " John stepped back and looked at his friend,
" What do you mean? "
" He had severe injuries and coupled with the poison's effects…it was trying on his body. "
" So he might not wake up? Because of the flitish? "
" That is one factor, he also was under water for a period of five minutes. " Even though his face wasn't human, the sorrow written across it was easy to read. John slammed a fist into the table, " This is my fault…I let my guard down and because of that—"
" It is no ones fault, Lantern, Flash will make it. Some how he always does. " J'onn gave Lantern a small smile, " He's stable for now, do you want to take first watch? " John nodded,
" Do you think he can hear us? "
" It's possible…you should try. " J'onn quietly walked out of the room while Lantern moved a chair next to Flash,
" Hey buddy, " He started, " Listen Flash, I don't know if you can hear me but I umm…well…" He stopped and placed on hand on his head, " You got the herb, you know…and you're going to be fine…You have no idea how many times I did this in the Marines…someone was always hurt, but it never ended well………I'm just saying… you have to stay with us Flash. You remember we still have that bet on how long it'll take you to make Batman laugh. "
Batman and the others looked up as John walked into the room, " Diana's taken over the watch. " He muttered, sinking down into a dark blue armchair.
" Flash? John said that talking to you would help. I just wanted to let you know that we're all here and we want you to be ok.
You have to wake up soon; you still have to take me to that…concert? Remember? " She sighed and let a single tear slide past her eyelids, " Hera give me strength… " She muttered,
" How is he? " Superman questioned,
" He's the same. " She yawned,
" You should get some sleep, we've
already decided on shifts. " She nodded and Superman took her place,
" We have a lot of evidence on Luthor because of that disk you found… " Superman looked at the bandages and monitors, staring around the room and sitting in silence for a moment,
" I'm sorry, Flash…I should have stopped Luthor in the Tower…I should have been able to find you sooner………………………this is my fault. "
" It's not your fault, Clark. "
" Bruce? I thought you were asleep. "
" I was, it's my shift. " He pointed to the clock and Superman was surprised to see how much time had passed.
" I'm not really tired. " Batman grabbed another seat,
" Then stay, but this is my shift. " Clark nodded; it was odd to see Batman really worrying about something or someone,
" Lantern's really upset. " Superman commented to stir a conversation,
" This has never happen to us as a team before… "
" No it hasn't…I was sort of hoping it never would. "
" You mean that it would never happen to Flash. " Batman stated,
" He's young, Bruce…he shouldn't have been put through this…he's barely old enough to drink. "
" I rememberthatbirthday party. " Clark laughed,
" So do I. "
The two men looked down at their comrade, he remained unmoving except for the slow rise and fall of his chest.
