I LOVED ALL THE REVIEWS…NOBODY WAS SURE IF I HAD ACTUALLY KILLED FLASH OFF OR NOT…WELL THIS CHAPTER SHOULD TELL YA…

DON'T OWN JL…

Superman shut the door as quietly as possible. Lantern had already left the room, but J'onn was still 'sleeping'. The tracker had found a large object somewhere North of the castle and Clark was determined to find it. He walked quickly to the main doors and stepped outside. Instead of the usual light drizzle, rain was pouring down and lighting was striking everywhere. Just like when they had first arrived. He lifted off from the ground, checking the tracker and heading in the direction it indicated.

The ground came up to meet Bruce at a very fast rate. He was thankful that the rain had softened the normally rock hard soil.

" Kal-El is coming." Darksied smiled at the thought fighting his greatest adversary. Batman was still lying on the ground, not bothering to get up. Darksied tilted his head at the blue and red blur that whooshed through several of the trees.

" Greetings, Kal-El."

" Darksied." Superman exited the trees and flew into the clearing, giving Batman only a side-glance. Without warning he shot lasers from his eyes and melted the collar and cuffs from Batman,

" Get out of here."

" Superman—"

" GET OUT!" Superman shouted at him without taking his eyes off Darksied. Batman stood up and began walking away, half expecting Omega beams to shoot him down. Clark remained silent until he was sure Bruce had gone. Satisfied that one was safe, Clark turned his attention to the next prisoner.

" Where is Flash?" He asked quietly when he realized that Wally was nowhere in the clearing,

" Flash is dead." Superman gasped and flew a little closer to Darksied,

" You killed him?" He asked, his eyes glowing red.

" Unfortunately, that pleasure was not mine. He died of an unknown illness." Darksied laughed and Superman flew straight for him, punching him squarely in the jaw. He staggered back and then lurched forward. Each began trading blows, with Darksied kicking Superman in the face,

" I now have steel toes, thanks to your lasers." He added as he watched Clark attempting to recover from the assault. He focused his eyes on Superman and fired a set of Omega beams at him. Clark shook off the first one without much effort; he returned the attack with his own set of beams.

Flash groaned and opened his eyes. It took longer then normal for him to focus, but his hearing was still sharp. Off in the distance he could hear the sounds of a battle. He got to his feet, aided by the large tree next to him. The ground continued to rotate and Flash turned his head and vomited. He could make out the specks of blood through his glazed vision. His face was still flushed and his temperature was still rising. His head was swimming as he hobbled towards the sounds of fighting,

' Please let someone be there.' He gave little thought to how he got off Darksied's ship. The overlord probably thought he had died after he had tossed up a pint of blood and collapsed last night.

' Is Bats fighting someone? What happened to Myusa?' He kept on walking, unable to focus his speed in his fevered state. He stopped and threw up again, his eyes tearing up at the acid that was burning his throat. His knees buckled and he fell on them heavily, opening some of the old wounds that had not healed properly. He wanted to go back to sleep, but some inner voice kept telling him to go on. Using another tree as leverage, he managed to hoist himself back up to his feet. He winced as he fell onto the tree, the collar had not been removed and it dug into his skin painfully. The sounds were growing closer; he was almost there…just a little further.

Superman's costume was ripped and burned in several places, while Darksied's face was swollen on one side and three of his fingers were probably broken. The fight had become more vicious, Darksied was taking whatever cheap shots he could and Superman was attempting to break his neck. Superman launched an uppercut at his enemy, while Darksied grabbed his head and slammed it into his knee. They both moved away from each other, breathing heavily and clutching at new wounds.

" You've gotten stronger, Kal-El." Darksied furrowed his brow. Yesterday he had thought he could've easily beaten Superman, but now, he wasn't sure if he could fight the ferocity of the Kryptonian.

Flash walked in a zigzag line into the clearing. He stared intently at the black and blue blurs, wondering who they were.

" Flash!" The voice sounded familiar and so far away. The blue blur seemed to move towards him, but the black blur was faster. He felt a strong grip around his neck, lifting him up from the ground and moving him closer to the blue blur.

" I don't know how you're still alive, but I'll remedy that." A deep voice whispered into his ear.

" Put him down, Darksied!"

' Who is that?' Flash focused on the blue blur, which seemed to be hesitant to attack the man holding him.

" I think not Kal-El."

' Kal-El…whose that? Wait……isn't that…'

" Superman?" Flash whispered before Darksied could stop him. Superman could barely believe it, Flash was alive but for how long he didn't know. Darksied could easily make his lie into the truth, now that he had Flash's life dangling by a thread.

Darksied's mind was reeling. Only last night the Flash had been pronounced dead by one of the Talksh guards he had been given, now the younger man was choking in his arm, very much alive.

' The guard lied. That's the only explanation. He will pay." For now he focused on the most pressing matter, Kal-El.

Batman walked into the castle and turned his head towards the sound of Diana's gasp,

" Batman! Are you alright?"

" Fine." Diana's voice had attracted Lantern's attention as well as J'onn's.

" How did you get away?"

" Superman."

He gazed behind John at the new figure that had entered the room,

" Hello Batman." Shayera was dressed as Myusa was, but her hair and wings were now their original color. Batman gave her a curt nod and entered the room she had just left, the others following. Batman took a seat at the round table, Diana next to him, J'onn next to her, Lantern was last. This left one chair empty. Shayera stayed by the door, wanting to go and sit with them but being held back by Diana's stare.

" Are you going to help or not?" It was Batman who spoke, he pointed to the last chair, which Shayera took.

" Is Flash with Superman?" J'onn looked at Batman.

" He's dead or at least that's what Darksied told me." J'onn was the only one whose facial features did not change, all the others flashed anger and sadness. Diana stood up quickly, knocking her chair over as she rose,

" We need to find Superman."

" Clark wants to handle Darksied himself." Diana whirled around to face Batman,

" I don't care what he wants! We're a team and he's going to need our help." The others nodded in silent agreement, but Batman remained stoic.

2222222222222222222222222222222

" You're a coward. Hiding behind someone who's injured. Put him down and fight me!" Clark's shouts echoed in Flash's ears. The pressure around his neck eased and he felt himself being tossed through the air. Superman rose higher and caught him. Keeping his eyes on his enemy, Superman lowered Flash to the ground and laid him there.

" Come, Kal-El, Fight me."

" I'm not going to fight you Darksied. I'm going to kill you."

" We shall see."

" Yes, we will."
