AHH, THE JOYS OF SCHOOL…HOMEWORK…DENTENTION…I'VE GOTTEN THREE DENTENTIONS ALREADY…GAHHHH!

I DON'T OWN JL, CUZ IF I DID…WELL………I WOULD KEEP THE CORE SEVEN AND JUST HAVE GUEST STARS…LOVE GREEN ARROW AND SUPERGIRL THOUGH!

" I don't get it. I left them here." Shayera looked over at John, who was checking the undergrowth for any traces for the two missing teammates,

" Lantern." John put a hand to his comm. Piece,

" Go ahead."

" Get back to Clerig's castle…we have a situation."

" We haven't found Flash or Batman yet."

" 'We'? Listen, you and your friend get back here. The Talksh have a new ally."

"Who?"

" They're calling him Decrek. You have to hurry."

" Understood. I'm on my way." He turned and nodded towards Shayera,

" You coming?"

" Am I welcomed?"

" We're going to need your help." She still looked uncertain but she followed John back to Clerig's castle.

Superman let his jaw drop at the sight that was flying behind John; beside him he heard Diana growl while J'onn kept silent.

John landed in front of them and held up his hands,

" Guys—" Diana stepped around Superman and pointed an accusing finger at the Thanagarin,

" What is she doing here?"

" She's here to help." Diana shook her head,

" We don't need her help. We never did."

" That's enough, Diana." John stepped in front of her, " Bruce and Wally are still M.I.A and we don't know anything about the Talksh's new ally. We're going to need all the help we can get."

J'onn looked at Shayera, " You were the one posing as Myusa, correct?"

" I was." J'onn gave her a small smile,

" It is good to see you again, Hawkgirl."

" Please, just call me Shayera." Superman stepped forward,

" John's right. You may be able to help us, but that doesn't change anything." She nodded.

Darksied smiled at his prisoner. Kal-El would soon fall and after him, this worthless planet.

" I am glad to see you are finally up." He laughed at Batman, who was searching around him, " Your friend is on another level. He will be brought up shortly." He stood up from his chair and walked around Batman,

" Tell me, did Kal-El travel to this planet with you?" Batman looked straight ahead. He was in a foul mood, being captured would do that to him, but being captured twice. Hell hath no fury like a captured Batman.

" He did." Was all he could ground out.

" Good, then this planet isn't such a waste after all."
" Why are you here? I doubt you're going to keep your end of the bargain."

" You're right. And once I establish a base on this planet, I'll be able to conquer Earth with ease. You see this is the closest planet to Earth with a sentient race."

" Why do you need a base? You have the boom tubes."

" Boom tubes are very useful, but with a nearby base I can attack Earth from every available direction." He smiled again and walked over to a large table, which was littered with Batman's gear and comm. Link. He picked it up and turned back to Batman,

" Call Kal-El."

" No."

" Fine. You are not the only one who can." Batman reached out for the device and turned it on,

" Superman?"

" Batman, where the hell are you guys? Shayera said—"

" Shayera?"

" Hawkgirl was the one who was playing Myusa." So his translations had both been correct,

" The Talksh have a new ally, Decrek."

" I know. Flash and I are in his ship. And the word isn't Decrek it's Darksied." The device was yanked out of his hand and Darksied continued where Batman had left off,

" Kal-El, it's been awhile."

" Darksied!" The words dripped with hatred, " Where are you hiding?"

" I'm not hiding, Kal-El, I am deep within the forest, waiting for you."

" Where's Batman and Flash?"

" Batman is right here and the other one is resting on another level of my ship. Hopefully you can find me before I am forced to get rid of them."

" Coward!" Darksied laughed,

" You should've killed me when you had the chance." Batman knew what he meant,

" You know what, Bruce? You're not always right."

Bruce had saved Clark's life before the Man of Steel had a chance to finish off Darksied. That incident had caused a rift between the two heroes, but Bruce had made his decision and he stuck by it.

" I will see you in due time Kal-El. Don't worry." He squeezed the device in between his fingers and crushed it, cutting off Superman's voice. Darksied laughed again and placed a large metallic collar around Batman's neck,

" That will prevent the Martian from finding you." He turned back to his chair and snapped his fingers, instantly two Talksh guards came and grabbed Batman by the arms,

" Put him in the cell by his friend."

222222222222222222222222222222

Superman crushed the eight-foot tree he had been standing next to with a yell,

" Superman?" J'onn flew away from the others and landed next to the enraged kryptonian,

" I should've killed him. I let Bruce stop me…now he's going to kill him and Flash."

" So Darksied has indeed captured them."

" Yes, and if we don't find him soon…"

" Superman, you must not let your anger cloud your judgment."

" I know how to handle Darksied."

" Do you?" It was a low blow but he had to get Superman to realize what his rashness could cause them,

" What do you mean? You don't think I can handle him?" Superman turned to face J'onn, his fists clenched,

" Your past history with him…you react different to him then your other enemies…even Luthor."

" Darksied is pure evil. Not even Lex is that bad."

" Batman was right to pull you away when he did. You would have destroyed much more then Darksied."

" What?"

" It is an ideal that many of us have to live up to. Sometimes the only thing that separates us from the villains is the fact we do not resort to killing."

" And the problem with that is that the villains don't."

" The only time you see that as a problem is when Darksied is involved."

" I don't need a lecture right now." J'onn placed a hand on Clark's shoulder,

" You cannot rush into this. You are the only one who can stand against Darksied in one on one combat."

" I know."

Batman was tossed into the cell. It was small room with a bunk attached to the far wall, and on the walls that divided the other cells, were low windows, made up of the same material as the cell door. From his left window he could see Flash, who had been placed on his bunk. As the guards left, Batman lowered himself and began tapping on the window. Flash shifted once and turned on his shoulder, rotating again we he landed on a cut. Batman hit the glass harder and Flash shot up and looked around the room. Finally spotting Bruce, he sat down in front of the window. His face was flushed and it looked like he was cold.

' This is his first time to Aldira, maybe his body is reacting adversely to something in the air.'

Flash's mouth was moving, but Batman couldn't hear anything he was saying. He paused for a moment and realized that the cells completely shut them off from sound. Flash was tapping on his window and pointing back to his bunk, Bruce nodded and watched Flash hobble back to his bunk.

" You better show up soon, Clark." Batman muttered to himself before getting up to sit on his own bunk.
