Chapter 12- Betrayal t Lies = Payback!

"They...." Flash couldn't finish his sentence for he had no true answer to Black Lightning's question. Flash just lowered his eyes to the ground.

"See my brother! They gave you nothing while I can give you everything. Just join me, and help destroy your supposive friends that actually thought you would kill someone!" Black Lightning explained. He whirled the keys to Flash's restraintments around his finger.

Flash didn't respond to BL's offer. 'I can't betray them... But if I am killed then I can not help them..' Flash look soon was straight into BL's. "They weren't my friends!" Flash snorted and Black Lightning grinned along with the rest of the villains. "They are my enemies!"

Black Lightning was satisfied with his brother's angry response. Black Lightning unlocked his brother's restraints. Flash at first his the ground with a thump. He was badly injured and could barely hold his own weight up. He was only going to have one shot at this. Flash forced himself to stand by using the wall behind him.

Flash held his broken ribs and gazed at his once enemies. Flash knew he had to do this. What other choice did he have? None, what so ever!

"You made the right choice, Flash!" Black Lightning grinned putting a hand on his brother's shoulder.

Flash casted his look down. "The crystal you seek is at....." Flash then glanced back at the awaiting group. "In the last place you'll ever look!"

With that said Flash zoomed toward the only door that could lead to the outside world. He left his brother in the dust for once. Flash shut his eyes in pain when the sunlight struck him. Flash had no time to stop though. He had to keep ahead of his so called brother.

Flash got one glance at the cave that lead to the underground base before running through the forest he was near. Flash finally collapsed in pain of his wounds onto his stomach. He pushed the com-link near his ear hoping to get an answer to his distress. But before Flash could say anything a foot was pressed right on his left shoulder. Flash muffled a cry.

"Did you forget, my dear brother, that I am faster than you?" Black Lightning growled forcing more pressure onto Flash's shoulder. Flash couldn't say anything. He couldn't even move at this point. Flash was sure he was finished when something whirled through the air and hit BL straight on.

Flash stared at where the item had come from. He sighed deeply.

Black Lightning rose and tried to attack where the boomerang had appeared but a forceful punch threw him off balance and into a tree. Black Lightning glared at the group who had gathered themselves around the wounded Flash. Black Lightning was severely out matched and had no choice but to run for now.

"You o.k.?" a familiar voice above Flash asked. Flash could only nod. Flash let out a faint smile at the group who had come to his rescue. Flash, once more, was claimed by his heavy eyelids though.

Flash awoke in a bright, white room. Flash found himself bandaged, and his shoulder was still back in place. He tried to sit up, but an old friend pushed him down.

"You need your rest!" the voice explained.

"I don't need nothing Bats!" Flash replied sitting up.

Soon the rest of the Justice League joined Batman to see how their youngest member was doing.

"How'd ya know about Black Lightning?" Flash asked.

"Video camera caught him deleting your fight with Grodd," Wonder Woman responded.

"Plus we found a red suit identical to yours in his room," Green Lantern added.

Flash leaned back. He still couldn't believe his own flesh and blood would do that to him. "I am so going to take my bro out!"

"Not now! You're still too wounded to even run let alone fight," Batman farther explained. Flash moaned with disapprovement.

"You're not going to far right now!" GL agreed.

"Oh yeah before I forget.. BL was looking for this crystal I have. He needs it to complete their weapon to stop time. As long as I have it he won't get it!" Flash explained.

"That explains why he wanted us away from you," Hawk Girl spoke up.

"There is one more thing," Flash said slowly.

"What?" the entire group questioned. Soon their happy smiles turned to fearsome frowns. Flash just suddenly hopped out of bed and threw some ball down. It exploded into a blue smoke. The League tried to cover their mouths, but it was too late. They all collapsed on the scene except Flash.

"I'm not Flash!" Suddenly Flash became Jenny. "I'm a shapeshifter!"

Jenny went up to the garage and let all of the villains in. Black Lightning joined her side after they had tied up the League. Grodd threw the real, wounded Flash next to his partners.

"What did you do to them?" Flash barked.

"Nothing," Jenny grinned as she used her index to pull Flash's face closer to her own.

Flash gave a light growl and tried to escape his binds. Jenny shook her head and began trying to hack into the League's computer.

"Any luck?" Black Lightning asked as he came up behind Jenny.

"No.. They're smarter than I thought. This password is hard to crack!" Jenny continued to type as Black Lightning approached his brother.

"You should have joined me. Now I have to get into the computer to see if your friends know anything of the Time Gem!" Black Lightning held himself back from hitting his brother. Flash just for kicks spat in BL's face.

"Go to hell!" Flash said simply. Black Lightning just chuckled softly and left his brother to return to the computer.

Flash turned his attention onto his awakening team mates. "You guys o.k.?"

"Wait, didn't you just attack us?" Green Lantern asked gazing at Flash.

"No that was BL and his new girl, Jenny. She's a shape shifter!.. I tried escaping but I failed! Black Lightning sensed my intentions when I said I would join him. He traded his girlfriend in my place and tied me back up," Flash answered sadly.

"Got it," Jenny announced. The villains crowded around her. "See!"

"Good Jenny.. Now program this Watch Tower to crash into Central City..." Black Lightning walked over to the League. "This is good-bye. I now know where the crystal is.. I'll get to it before this watch tower crashes with you in it!"

Black Lightning and the rest of his friends left the League totally helpless. They watched in horror as their home approached the Earth's atmosphere.

Author Notes: There you go Chapter 12! R&R! I'll update ASAP!

Preview of Chapter 13:

"BL, stop this!" Flash yelled as he appeared on the scene.

"How are you still alive?" Black Lightning questioned his brother. There the two brothers stood. Alone, near the meadows that were near Central City. Lightning crackled behind them and the wind blew hard.

"None of your damn business. Like you care anyway," Flash replied. "It's over!"

"Oh no my brother. It is just begining!" Black Lightning cackled firing a yellow beam right at the hero. Flash easily dodged it, but the doe behind him wasn't as lucky. The young deer was frozen in place.

"Works well, doesn't it?" Black Lightning cackled. "You'll love it when I turn it on the city!"
