Sorry it's so short, but I just need this separately to show you the true trouble Flash is in! Hope you like it!!
Everyone turned to look at the screen, waiting anxiously for news. A woman with dark hair and light eyes addressed them.
"Hello Justice League, listen closely, your friends life is at stake after all!" she said, stepping back slightly.
"Where is he?" Batman asked trying to control his anger. "What have you done with him Death?"
"Oh, he's hanging around!" She smiled. "Let me show you around." She walked to the left, pausing so the camera could follow. "My brothers Famine, Plague and Pestilence." The camera focused slowly on each of the men scattered off to the left. "We are giving you a choice..." She was quickly cut off.
"Don't listen to her!" Flash yelled. Famine laughed and walked out of sight of the camera, there came a dull thump and a groan, followed quickly by more laughter.
"What are you doing to him?!" John yelled, jumping to his feet. Death smirked and walked back her original place with Famine standing behind her. She turned sideways on so they could see past her. On the wall hung a very pain stricken Flash, his hands up above his head. He closed his eyes and groaned past the pain in his stomach and the shooting pain in his back.
"Still here!" Famine answered, holding his hands to the side like a magicians assistant.
"You hurt him and I'll..." John started, his ring glowing threateningly.
"You'll what?" Death laughed. "You don't even know where we are!" she laughed all the more harder. "Here's the deal. You give me one hundred souls and I'll give you the Flash. Just a few people, or you deny me and I kill him. Then I come up there with my new friends and kill you too. From there...the world is our oyster." She held both hands out to each side to mimic the two choices. "Of course you have two days to decide." She added watching there reactions as they weighed up the options. When things became personal the most efficient choice gets thrown out the window.
"Don't!" Flash gasped.
"Do shut up!" Death cried rolling her eyes until she was looking at Flash.
"You can't...we promised we would do what we could to protect the people...no matter what!" He screwed his eyes up in pain as he yelled. Death gritted her teeth in anger and reached for something in her belt.
Wally opened his eyes and looked at the screen showing his friends, they had to understand the trap that would be set if they even tried to bring any souls. His eyes widened as something flashed and he screamed as he felt the unexpected pain.
Death dropped her hand, leaving the blade imbedded in the young mans shoulder. She turned back to the camera, allowing her eyes to glow red. Famine stood to her right and allowed his eyes to brown flames while off camera Plague's eyes turned to black flames and Pestilence's eyes turned to orange flames.
"Does he ever shut up?" Death growled to the camera.
"Leave him alone!" Diana screamed her eyes brimming with fearful tears.
"48 Hours! I'll be in touch!" Death finished, signalling to cut off transmission.
The Justice League sat in stunned silence at the horror of the treatment of Flash. Diana allowed the tears to slid down her face as Hawk Girl sat down next to her and took her hand both of hers.
John ran a hand over his head and slumped into a seat. J'ohn stood silently by the wall while Superman and Batman stared off into space.
"I should analyse the footage and see if I can find any clues as to where they are." Batman mumbled. "You should all rest." He said, turning back to the screen and playing back the beginning of the message. Everyone else nodded dumbfounded and walked off tot heir rooms. No one slept however, they merely turned over the fact that these people...monsters had their friend and they couldn't save him. They had all noticed the blue light above Flash's head and realised that it prevented him from contacting J'ohn.
Death breathed deeply and tried to calm herself. "I want every bit of information about the; names, homes and weaknesses. Even if we already know it. I also want to know every secret about that tower!" Her voice increased in sound, finally screaming the word 'tower', she pointed to the ceiling. "I want to know everything...however you can, just leave him alive!" she lowered her voice carefully. Walking over to Flash, she studied him then grabbed at the long bladed knife. "Even if you have to probe his mind." She said coolly, pulling the dagger out. Flash bit back a scream and watched as Gorilla Grodd, Shade, Star Sapphire, Joker and Luthor walked out from behind the camera and approached Flash. They all nodded as her eyes returned to normal, her brothers too returned to normal.
They five villains approached Flash smurking. "I say we beat it out of him first. All the more fun!" Joker laughed as he threw a punch at Flash's stomach. "What are their real names?" he started as the others threw in there own punches.
Death smiled to herself and walked to the table, where she sat on the table edge and watched the beating. Her brothers left to feed.
