DON'T OWN JL.

Flash stood completely still while J'onn continued to coax him into the hallway,

" You want to wake up, this may be the only way."

" You're not even sure yourself."

" Flash, your mental exit is through there. You don't have stay there for long, we can be out soon." He gave an inward sigh; he had to keep Flash calm. If the younger man at any time wished for him to leave, mental barriers would force and keep J'onn out.

" Flash, we have little time." He stiffened at this piece of information,

" We do?" Flash brought a hand up to his face and sighed in it deeply, for a split second he wished that J'onn had never found him. Although it was a passing emotion replaced by gratitude, his mind reacted and J'onn found the ground around him was slowly disappearing.

" J'onn!" The Martian floated calmly upward and hovered in front of Wally,

" We are both in danger, we must leave now." The color of light around J'onn shifted from light yellow to a deep black, spikes of the same color shot out to spear J'onn. He dodged a few and phased through the rest. The color changed again, this time it was a deep blood red. Balls of energy came out and began circling J'onn, each admitting its own bolt of energy towards the Martian. Flash's head was reeling; he couldn't understand why J'onn was being attacked and why he couldn't stop it. Two bolts of energy made contact with skin and J'onn lost altitude, his body fell to the ground where Flash caught it.

" J'onn! Are you okay?" Wally's head went up as the balls descended lower to finish what they had started. Wally ran in front of J'onn taking the first painful hit,

" God those things hurt and you took two of them, J'onn……J'onn?" When he received no reply he spun around only to find J'onn unconscious and his breathing labored.

" no…" Flash bent down to check his teammates heart, he was still alive but he wasn't sure how long he could last. He picked J'onn up and slung on arm over his shoulder as leverage since he wasn't strong enough to hold the Martian's full weight. He began to head for the hallway, noticing that the balls of light were following him waiting for the next chance at J'onn.

J'onn's physical self was in pain, in was evident to the others as the stood by, unsure of what to do. Batman had snapped at Hawkgirl to " Leave him be." And " He knows what he's doing." Lantern had decided to go and bring coffee back for the others, tired of just standing around and doing nothing. They watched the monitors tirelessly noting how Flash's pulse had shot up.

The ground he was walking on began to shake at first it had been a warning but the tremors were coming faster now. He looked at J'onn and he began to worry, he had no idea what would happen if J'onn died in his mind. He didn't want to find out ether. J'onn was hurt and in the grand scheme of things it was his fault. He walked onward; it was all he could do now. He had to get help, but there was no way to call for it. The ground gave another violent jolt almost causing him to trip and drop the body he was carrying. A long crack started to form around him. He gave it a worried look before speeding up, the crack widened and his foot slipped into the growing hole. He attempted to grab the edge but his hand only clasped air. He let out a yell before he began to fall into nothingness. He dropped a good forty feet before he was able to grab a ledge that was jutting out from the side. His hand had never let go of J'onn and the bruise around the Martian's wrist was proof of this. He was hanging by one hand and keeping J'onn from falling with the other. He felt his fingers slipping; J'onn was too heavy for him to lift up to the ledge. He had never had a reason to train to be able lift the other League members who could simply fly, and he had to be the lightest out of all of them including Diana and Hawkgirl.

" J'onn, you got to wake up!" He listened for a response, " J'onn! Damn it! Wake up!" J'onn groaned lightly and opened his eye slowly,

" Flash?"

" Glad you're up, a little help?" J'onn flew up to the ledge and pulled Flash up.

" Thanks." Flash muttered, flexing his sore arm. He peered over the edge, " Guess I do have a deep mind." He gave J'onn a small grin, which J'onn returned. J'onn grabbed Flash from under his arms and flew back to the main level. Flash looked down the hallway,

" What's that?"

" That should be your mental exit." Flash grinned widely at began walking forward, J'onn following. They walked side by side through the square of light.

SORRY THIS CHAPTER IS SHORT. STAY TUNED TO SEE IF FLASH WILL WAKE UP OR NOT, OR IS THIS ANOTHER MIND GAME??
