To oneredneckgoddess, I know Flash isn't the best challenge but in this chapter you'll find out why she went after him. Thanks for the reviews...again!

Flash opened his eyes and strained against the light. He turned his head but found he couldn't. "What...?"

"Don't strain yourself." He looked straight ahead and found he was strapped to a movable table. He looked at the woman by the door.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Tomatan. Your genetic copier." The woman moved over to a tray beside him. "Just waiting for Marian to get back with the last of the ingredients."

"What are you going to do?" Flash asked, struggling against the bonds.

"Copy your speed into a new pet. A kind of hunting companion for Marian." Tomatan laughed toying with some medical tools. "Where is she?" Tomatan glanced at her watch and sighed.

"Right here sister." Marian came from the shadows with a bag. She kept her scarf around her face as she approached the table. "How long does it take to work?" she bounced lightly on the balls of her feet.

"A whole day sister." Tomatan answered while drawing a liquid into a syringe.

"What?!" Marian cried, falling back into a chair, pulling the scarf down.

"Patients Marian. You get your product by the end." Tomatan measured the liquid and turned to Flash.

"What is that for?" Flash asked, eyes wide in fear as he fought to brake away.

"It just brakes down your DNA so we can extract it for our new creation. You see we have strength and a high IQ. We have skills in all types of fields but not speed. So lets gather the last sister." Tomatan walked up to Flash and put the syringe into Flash's throat and injected the liquid.

"What?" Flash hissed as the needle was removed.

"We have collected the DNA of some of the best and brightest. From that we plan to create the best assassin ever before." Marian explained, leaning forward in her chair. "You're the final piece." She purred.

"Don't get attached Marian." Tomatan said, attaching a heart monitor to Flash. "He won't last more than a day sister." She moved the table to one side.

"Fine Tomatan." Marian pouted, standing back up. "I'm off to bed." Tomatan shook her head and turned back to the screen.

"You'll feel some momentary peace and then a lot of pain." She said, putting up some glass around Flash that blocked sound just as the pain started.

Flash gritted his teeth and arched his back, then the screaming began.

Batman was the first to wake up; he then groggily woke the others. Slowly everyone rose and looked around, the night was nearing morning so they figured they had been out for a few hours.

"Where's Flash?" Hawk Girl asked, staring around the yard.

"They took him." Batman answered blankly then walked off to the Javelin.

"So you're going to leave him?" The Green Lantern cried.

"No. I'm going to talk with Luthor." Batman said stepping onto the ship.

"Wait! Luthors involved?" Superman asked, flying over to Batman.

"Yes. And I plan to find out where the sisters are." He climbed into the pilot seat.

"We'll come too." Wonder Woman said, climbing into the seat beside him. Batman turned to the group and watched each of them nod.

"Okay." He sighed. "But we do this right."

Marian came back into the room and watched the screaming Flash. She tilted her head to the side.

"I don't recall anyone screaming that much." She said to her sister.

"I have to break down his DNA. The others I just needed tissue samples from. But I need pure DNA if this is going to work, each organ will have to adapt to the speed of the body." Tomatan explained as she looked through the light microscope.

"Oh! Right." She glanced back at Flash as he screwed up his face in pain. "Must hurt to have your body tearing itself apart." She turned on her heels and left the room.

"Whatever Marian." Tomatan said shaking her head. "I don't care what happens to him, I just want a better hunter." She murmured to the room.

K? What do you think? Like? Dislike? Does it even make sense?
