Thanks for reviewing! It's hard to type with a sprained wrist, so sorry about typos!
Flash rolled his eyes as Famine and Pestilence argued back and forth. They had been fighting over something for a good hour or so, he was too out of it to really be listening, and all he knew was that they wouldn't shut up.
"What the hell is going on?" Plague yelled, storming into the room. "I can here you yelling from outside...D will be back soon, she doesn't need this now."
"Thank you. Tell us which soul will taste better, Superman or the Green Lantern?" Famine said, still shouting.
"Ssshh!" Plague covered his mouth and looked to the door. He grabbed Pestilence by the collar and brought him close. "You should not be letting him yell this anywhere. D said we need their help," he nodded to the door. "If they find out our full plans then they'll refuse to help. Forget it I'm calling back D, she can handle you better." Plague muttered shoving both of them aside.
"What aren't you telling them?" Flash croaked to Plague.
"You still sane after them both?" Plague asked stepping in front of Flash.
"I'm on the edge." He answered.
"Don't bother, they'll never believe you." Plague ended the conversation and walked away.
"D? D? You there?" Death sighed as she pulled out the com.
"What?" she growled.
"Famine is driving me mad!" Plague growled back. "You can handle him better than I can. I'm gonna knock his block off one of these days."
"Fine!" Death yelled back. "Chill!" she calmed. "I'm coming back." Putting the com back she leant forward and tightened her grip on the rains. "Lets hit it double time Ossa!" she yelled, pulling the rain to the side.
Ossa answered with a shrill and tossed her head as she turned. Her eyes glowed stronger as she tossed her main turning it to flames. She charged across the open mid-day sky kicking at the tops of the trees.
Finally the barn came onto the horizon and Ossa pounded on to open air even harder. She jumped down to the ground and stood for Death to get off.
Death threw open the door and stepped into the room, Flash was still hanging from the wall. She stalked in and glanced back at the closed door.
"I must apologise for my older brother." She told Flash, pointing to Famine. "He's never been the same since he saw mum die."
"I see he's not the only one!" Flash muttered looking to the side.
"I only became like this because of people like you." Death explained standing in front of Flash, she moved so she could look him in the face.
"We only become like this because of people like you." Flash responded pushing her away with his head.
"It's like what came first, the chicken or the egg?" She laughed, stepping back. "I suppose I should continue." She smiled, reaching up and releasing is restraints. He fell to the floor, landing on his knees. "Lets begin!" she giggled, stepping aside for Pestilence.
"Find anything?" Diana stepped into the monitor room.
"Bruce is looking through it." She explained, sitting down heavily in the chair. Hawk Girls smiled sympathetically at her.
"You should sleep." She suggested. Diana just nodded and wondered off to her room.
"Think he'll find anything?" Shayera asked the small group. Superman nodded with J'ohn.
"He will!" Clark said defiantly.
She sighed and stood up, she had ran the conversation through her head and finally decided to carry it out. "Do you know where he is?" she asked J'ohn.
"Still in the training room." He said, turning back to the monitors.
"Thanks."
She walked out of the room and walked to the training room. The conversation from Wally ran through her head.
FlashbackShe had waited slightly as the group discussed who was going to tackle the problem of the four horsemen and who would stay and look after Flash.
"Wings?" he gasped, turning to see her.
"Yes Flash?" she sat closer so she could hear him.
"I hope you sort things out with John. He really misses you...and you miss him." Shayera just nodded. She did miss him, but how did Flash know? He could supprise them at times.
"Just tell him, persevere...until he tells you a clear answer, not...one of anger."
"You saying long words...what happened to you?" she joked.
" Wait for him to sit and talk." Flash gasped ignoring her coment. "Go to him...don't wait for him." He finished falling asleep.
"I will!" she whispered.
End Flashback"John?" she found herself in the training room. He stood with his back to her, looking down on the Earth. "We need to talk." She said strongly.
"Let me guess...Flash told you to persevere?" John asked blankly.
"He told you too?" she stood next to him. "I do love you!" she said, fighting the lump that rose in her throat.
"I know." He sighed. "I've been thinking. I love you too, but how can I trust you?" he turned to her. "How do I know that you won't hurt me? That you are lying right now?" She looked to the floor and moistened her lips.
Finally looking up she smiled. "This should answer it." She leant forward and kissed him. He paused and then kissed back, falling into the love he blocked out for so long. They finally pulled a part, truly in love.
"You have to make it now Buddy!" he whispered leaning back to her.
"He will!" she said, pulled into his kiss.
Flash hit the wall and slid to the floor, ribs grinding over organs. He bit his lip and threw his head back in a hiss of pain, eyes tight shut. Death walked up to him and crouched down.
"Shame you have to go through this." She stroked his cheek. He opened his eyes and watched her's as they swept his face and met his own. "Your cute...I would hate to scar you for life." She smiled a sad smile.
"I'd give up my looks for my friends." He snapped. Death gritted her teeth and snarled.
"Death!" she snapped her head round at Luthor as he flung open the doors. "We have a situation." She glanced back at Flash and stood up.
"What?" she growled at Luthor. Flash strained to hear what they were saying as they walked to the far side of the room.
"Batman...he's been to my offices...must know I'm involved."
Death glanced back and Flash watched him. She tilted her head to the side and frowned. "Don't bother lowering your voice." She told Luthor. "He's not going anywhere." She turned her attention back to the situation. "I should go send them a warning. Can you watch him?"
"No...I have other business to attend to later. I'll be gone a few hours. Can your brothers?"
"They'll need to feed soon and we're too far out for it to be a quick job." She sighed. "And the others are away on other errands. I'll have to immobilise speedy!" she said, then walked to the door and came back with a stick in her hand.
She spun it round as she approached Flash and he noticed the heavy, metal block on the end. A Sledge Hammer. She smiled sickly at him and stopped in front.
"Can't trust you not to escape, so I make it impossible for you to walk." She smiled even more and brought the hammer up over her head. Flash felt hands grab his arms to hold him still and closed his eyes.
Death roared as she brought the hammer down on his right leg and his screams ended the blow. Opening his eyes, he clutched at his leg and took in shaky breaths.
"I won't be long...just have to send your friends a present." She said over her shoulder, throwing the hammer to the side and followed the group out of the barn. Flash clutched at his leg and whimpered in pain as the barn doors locked.
"I've studied the data, more than likely Britain. But I can't be sure." Batman said as he sat in the chair in the meeting room. "I've marked out he main areas to search, mainly woods and county places, but there are a lot of them. We may have to think about what we would do in case we never found him." Everyone looked around the table, no one wanted to condemn their friend, so no one spoke.
"I would suggest you follow my suggestion!" they spun round to face the woman in the doorway. "You don't want to get me mad now!" Death warned, arms folded over some fabric. "Your friend already ticked me off." She threw the red tattered top of Flash's outfit on to the tabletop. Everyone gasped as they saw the blood and slashes in the material.
"You!" John screamed, launching himself forward to Death.
"John!" Hawk Girl yelled, trying to stop him. He flew at Death and went straight threw her.
"You don't think I would be here really?" She laughed, throwing back her head. "A little trick I picked up off a nearby planet thought I would try it. Heed my warning!" she said seriously. "You don't want him anymore hurt. Give up the chase or give up your friend!" with that she disappeared, but the tattered top remained on the table.
Hawk Girls stood up and went over to John; she helped him up, still staring at the suit. "What do we do?" she whispered.
"We continue!" Superman growled. "Where do we start?"
Please review, had to get HG and GL back imagine it without them!
