Thanks for the reviews! Really need them right now.
Flash hung from the table, his throat sore from his screams of pain. He knew nothing of time or knowledge, only of pain. But he knew of one thing, the one thing that kept him from giving up completely. His friends.
Images of Bats, Superman, GL, Wonder Woman, Wings and J'ohn flashed through his mind. Nothing else mattered but the thoughts of them coming for him.
Flash was vaguely aware of the glass being moved around him as he shuddered through he pain. "Its just about done Flash." Tomatan said as she stepped up to him and checked the machines around him. "Another hour or so should do it."
She came up next to Flash and looked at the heart monitor while scribbling some notes on a sheet of paper. She flashed a smile at him and turned away. "Don't hold out for your friends, they'll never find us."
Flash raised his head and not trusting his voice just stared defiantly at her, sending her a facial message of 'don't even think it'. She smiled back and shook her head before walking away. "What ever keeps you going hon. What ever keeps you going."
Batman set down the Javelin on the top of Luthor's office complex and hurried after Superman as he flew down to the main office.
"You can't go in without an appointment!" the secretary yelled as Superman burst through the door.
"Superman! And what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?" Luthor asked as he peered over the stack of papers on his desk.
"Where is he Luthor?" Batman asked before Superman could. The Green Lantern held onto Superman's arm to stop him from jumping at Luthor.
"Where is who?" Luthor asked with an innocent smile.
"You know fine well!" Superman growled. "Where is Flash?"
"Miss placed another member? Well we are getting sloppy. Can't help and haven't seen him." Luthor explained while going back to his work.
Superman launched himself across the table and grabbed Luthor round the throat before flinging him against the window behind his desk. The glass shattered and Superman held the man over the edge or a twenty-story drop.
"Now where is he?" he growled, his eyes flashing red. Wonder Woman and The Lantern both moved behind Superman ready incase he really was going to drop Luthor.
"You wouldn't." Luthor dared but with a slight hint of fear in his eyes. "Would you?" he asked unsure.
"You really don't know me Luthor." And he let go. The entire League gasped and made a move for the window but Superman flew down after the falling man.
"Alright! Alright I'll tell you!" Luthor screamed as the ground drew closer. He closed his eyes and cursed his greedy nature, expecting to feel the impact. But when nothing happened he opened his eyes to see he was flying back up to his office.
"Where is he?" Superman asked again, holding onto the back of Luthor's collar.
"At the Western Warehouse on the corner Third Street and Grand." He said feeling the office floor beneath his feet.
"If you ever get involved in anything that hurts any person I will drop you out that window and not fly after you." Superman said, getting in Luthor's face, before he turned on his heels and walked to the Javelin. "Lets go get Flash." He said stepping onto the Javelin and taking a seat.
"I really thought you were just going to let him fall." Wonder Woman said sitting next to Superman.
"I almost did." He said staring straight ahead. Everyone in the ship glanced at each other before setting off.
How far would any of us go? J'ohn asked other four while leaving Superman out.
As far as we had to. Hawk Girl answered watching as they all nodded at her comment.
Marian walked into the room still board with waiting. She walked over to Tomatan and watched her type on the computer. "How long Tomatan?" she asked, sitting down in a chair.
"Another hour Marina!" She answered through gritted teeth. "I thought you were patient sister?"
"I am, but only in situations with people wondering round. I can occupy my mind with tactics and watching people but here I can't do anything but stare at a wall."
"Try staring at a different wall." Tomatan murmured sarcastically earning her a silent glare. "You're bugging me sister. Go bug him maybe if you do then he'll kick the bucket faster."
"Fine." Marina spat, standing up and dragging the chair in front of Flash. "Its hard having to rely upon a sister you know." She said to the semi-conscious Flash.
Silence.
"Not in the mood to talk?" she asked. "All the more fun to watch you try not to." She giggled to herself.
"Shut up." Flash whispered, shaking his head and instantly regretting it.
"Oh he still has a sharp tongue." She smiled, "That may have to be cut out of my new hunting partner."
"And who says they're yours. Wouldn't he or she be your sister creation." Flash croaked, fighting back against the tiredness. "Or did you forget that they'll be better than you? Why would your sister want you then?" He shuddered against more pain.
He raised his head to grin at her but met her fist head on. "Shut up." She said, stepping away. "I am important. He is for me!" she snarled. "And I would never doubt my own flesh and blood." She punched him in the gut and then turned away. "I hope he isn't like that." She said to her sister.
"We'll cut that gene out shall we?" Tomatan said.
Marina suddenly turned and ducked to the left, narrowly missing the Bat-a-rang that was aimed for her head. She rolled to her feet and glanced up before looking to the main exit.
Batman sat up on the rafters while Hawk Girl stood by the main door. "Its our turn to fight." She said to Marian before charging her mace and taking a swing at the young woman.
Superman broke through the wall and into the center of the room as The Green Lantern flew up to Flash and broke him free. "Batman!" he called, laying the shivering Flash on his back.
Batman instantly landed beside him and checked the young man over. "We need a cure." He said, just as Tomatan made a run for the exit.
Wonder Woman flew down from the roof and cut her escape off only to find Tomatan laughing.
"If you don't let me go then I'll destroy the cure." She held up a clear bottle with a blue colored liquid inside. "He'll only last an hour at the most." She said. "Let me go and I'll give you the cure."
"And your sister?" Superman asked as he slowly walked behind Tomatan.
"I don't care." She snorted.
"Well I do!" Marian screamed throwing Hawk Girl across the room and catching Tomatan full in face. Marian then ran across the room, scoped up the bottle and before anyone could do anything crushed the bottle in her hand.
"Now, no one can save him and you sister, have no escape." She then turned to Wonder Woman and attacked her. "I'll kill you all, then my sister and finally he will die and I'll create my partner." She shrieked, knocking Wonder Woman further back. "And no-one will stop me!" she giggled, ducking under Hawk Girl's blows.
"Game on." She said knocking out the lights and plunged the room into semi-darkness. "But we play the way I'm used to hunting." And she attacked.
Well one more chapter to go and I'll be done! What do you think? Enjoying it? Please review.
