Thanks for the reviews!
"Flash?" Someone touched his shoulder and he rolled away from the light. "Flash?" they whispered again.
"What?" he croaked.
"Its your turn for watch duty." He sat up and looked at Wonder Woman.
"Care to join me for five minutes more?" he asked with a lopsided grin. Wonder Woman jut frowned at him in confusion.
"I am off to patrol with Superman! I can not spare five minutes." And then she walked off leaving Flash to shake his head.
He stood up and went over to monitor room, settling in the big chair with a cup of coffee. He typed some keys and watched the cameras do their job.
He turned back to his coffee and waited for it to cool slightly, wondering about what else he would do today.
Batman set down again on the roof of the EU building and went to the door. Just as he went to open it the door swung open and the man who originally was there for Flash and him pocked his head round.
"Ah! Mr. Batman Sir! We weren't expecting you back so soon. Please this way." He held open the door, and waited till Batman entered. He then led the way down the corridor and back to the first meeting room. "In here please."
Batman stepped inside and watched as the people turned in their chairs. Some of them leant together and whispered to each other. Batman just faced the headman of the table.
"What did you do to her sister?"
"Tomatan?" the man turned to the woman next to him and nodded.
"Marian would not have learnt willingly without a family member there. So we said we would teach her older sister how to lead Marian. To become a power." The woman explained.
"She was sent to America first on a business trip and came back with a suggestion that Mr. Luthor was a great teacher. Hence we sent Marian off to him. The day we lost contact with her was the day Tomatan disappeared." Another of the table members explained.
"What exactly did you teach Tomatan?" Batman growled.
"Genetics. Which she taught to Marian. We also taught her the rules to a business world. Not the way we taught Marian. We taught her about how business works, but Tomatan was taught how to get into the correct business and how to make the best connections through money." The headman explained. "Its how Marian gets from one country to the next without question and how she tracks people without suspicion."
"Wait! Genetics?" Batman asked.
"Yes that was her first business deal. Why?" but Batman had already gone. They group looked at each other and then back to their work. "Well how about French?" he asked the table.
"No we have our eyes on a young man in Spain actually." The woman next to him said, pulling out a snap shot and handing it round the table.
Flash sat back further in the chair and looked around the room in boredom. He rubbed the rim of his empty coffee cup and glanced at the clock for the time.
"Well you're board!" he jumped, dropping the cup and glanced at the screen in front of him. "Sorry to startle you. A little game to play."
"Marian?" he asked, making the screen larger.
"Yes! But it should be Samantha you should be worried about." She pointed to the floor behind her where a woman lay bound and gagged.
"What did you do to her?" Flash cried.
"Nothing! Why? Should I?" Marian giggled. A slight rumble of talking came from around her. "You might know where I am. Some place near home! Some place near fun! Where screams are unheard when they are all around!
See you here!" and then she was gone.
Flash stared at the blank screen and then called for the others. "What is it Flash?" Superman asked. Flash sighed and started the story over again.
"Any idea Batman?" Wonder Woman asked over the com link.
"Any fairs near your city Flash?"
"Yeah! There's the traveling circus on the out skirts. Why?"
"Because she may be after you and that is your home." He explained. "What's nearby there?" Flash thought.
"The impound!" Flash cried. "That's where she'll be!"
"Right we'll meet you down there!" The Green Lantern said, flying off to Flash's city as fast as he could. "Before you get there." He said to himself.
Flash found he was the first there for a change and stood outside the entrance gate remembering what Batman had said.
"Don't go in! We'll all need to be there!"
He paced back and forth in a rut and kept glancing inside hoping the others would hurry up. However he heard a scream that didn't come from the circus but from inside the impound. "Forget it!" he said, charging inside.
Once inside he carefully followed the screams until he found the machine that crushed the cars. (Sorry don't know the name of that machine) He stopped in the clearing and looked around.
"Help!" he spun round to find a car being slowly crushed but inside the front seat sat Samantha, hand cuffed to the steering wheel. "Please help!" She screamed, ducking further down as the roof caved inwards.
Flash raced over to the car and began unlocking the cuffs as fast as he could. He growled in frustration, as the cuffs did nothing but hold still.
"Yes!" he cried pulling them open and grabbing Samantha. He raced out of the way as the car was crushed flat. Setting her down he glanced at the flat pack and sighed, then turned back round to Samantha. "You okay?"
"Yes!" she sobbed, pulling Flash into a hug and cried on his shoulder. He awkwardly patted her back until she pulled back. "Thank you."
He smiled kindly and wiped a tear from her face. "No problem."
She smiled back and then gasped falling forward into Flash. He caught her and turned her onto her back, laying her flat. "Samantha?" he asked. His eyes widened as he saw the liquid stream from her chest across his knees and pool onto the floor.
Samantha took small gasping breaths, her eyes wide with fear. "I don't want to die!" she cried, her face screwing up in pain. "Please don't let me die!" Her breath came in smaller gasps until they slowed to a single breath and stopped.
"Flash!" The Lantern cried flying over the fence and landing next to him. "Flash?" he gasped. "Is she...?"
"Yes!" Flash whispered feeling the tears fall down his face; he looked at his bloody hands. "Oh God!" he cried jumping to his feet and raced out of the site.
"Flash!" Superman called as they passed. "Stop!" he pleaded watching the netting that had appeared in front of the gate, unseen by the blinded man.
Flash ran straight into it as several gas bombs were set off, blowing clouds into the arriving Leaguers. Flash looked up as the darkness pooled around him.
"I'll see you soon Flash!" Marian said bending over him. "They'll never get to you in time." And then he knew nothing.
