Thanks for the reviews! Last chapter and I'm done.
Marian stood to the side of the hole in the wall, just out of reach of the light. Batman had gathered the Leaguers around the unconscious Flash and no one made a move to the exit.
"She'll want us to move over there. We need to find her and attack her on our own terms." Batman muttered to his fellow Leaguers. Everyone nodded and encircled Flash with their backs to him, protecting both him and themselves from attack.
"You can't wait forever Justice League." Marian taunted, moving towards the other exit, sizing up her prey. "Patients is my game." She laughed, keeping her voice to the right level where it echoed around so they couldn't pin point her.
She was forced to jump back, bighting back a gasp at the unexpected green light before her. The Green Lantern held out his arm and aimed the beam round the wall. Marian only just cleared the beam, unnoticed.
She pulled a knife free and aimed for the Lantern's arm. Just as she was about to release the blade she spotted Superman turning towards her. Could x-ray vision see her in the dark? Not taking any chances she threw herself flat on the floor and then released the blade, aiming directly for the heart of The Green Lantern.
Tomatan was slowly edging towards the hole in the wall. She knew her sister movements and summed up who would be the first to get attacked. She waited, eyes keenly on the Lantern, waiting for the strike when she would make her escape.
A Flash and a cry of pain and Tomatan made her brake.
"Sorry sister." She whispered before running through he hole.
"What for Tomatan?" She stopped dead in her tracks and saw the Lantern pined to the wall by the side of his costume. Flash was sitting slumped by the wall, gasping for breath.
"I knew he would save the Lantern, as I also knew you would run." She brought the edge of her sward blade to her sister throat. "Good bye Tomatan."
Superman flew up from behind her and grabbed her arm, spinning her round and throwing a punch. Marian ducked to the left, but still got clipped on her cheek. She rolled with the force and threw her sward, knowing her weapon would never reach the hero.
"Now!" Superman cried. Batman suddenly appeared from beside The Lantern and released a bat-a-rang into the wall above her.
Confused Marian didn't move. She rarely fought several people at once and was confused as to what they had done in mere seconds.
It suddenly clicked with her.
The Martian!
He had been talking to them with his mind. They had set her up!
The net fell from above her where J'ohn had placed it during Tomatan's attempted escape. She cried out in surprise and anger and the net dragged her to the floor and closed her off from escape.
She struggled against the netting and felt someone behind her. Rolling over she found Wonder Woman holding her daggers and Hawk Girl holding her hidden blade. Being in the hideout she had only armed herself with the essentials.
"No!" She hissed; staring wide eyed up at the approaching police. "They can't hold me forever. I'll be out soon. And someone will pay!" she screamed into the night as the police collected her up and cuffed her.
"She's gone." Wonder Woman commented, staring at the ground where Tomatan had been moments before. Superman and Hawk Girl looked about for a moment to find no sign of the departed sister.
"Too late now." Hawk Girl said, turning back with concern as she watched The Green Lantern pick up the gasping Flash.
"Its okay now buddy. We'll make you better." Flash forced a grin on his face before he succumbed to the darkness.
"I think I have enough of a sample to copy it." Batman said, standing up straight with a sample of the liquid on the ground. "But we must be quick." His gaze flickered over to Flash and back to J'ohn who nodded before taking the sample. Everyone dashed off to the Javelin and they raced to the Tower hoping Flash could hold out long enough.
The Javelin pulled into the bay and J'ohn fazed into the infirmary with the sample and set off the scanner to test the sample. The Green Lantern ran into the room and laid Flash down on a bed. Wonder Woman followed and began attaching a drip to his arm, hoping he would make it till the antidote came through.
"Hold on Flash." She whispered to him, grabbing his hand.
"It through." J'ohn announced handing the results over to Batman. The cloaked man studied it and allowed a small smile to appear on his face.
"We can save him." He said, walking over to the medicine cabinet. He pulled out two bottles and sat quickly down by Flash. He pulled a needle over to him and drew the liquids from one of the bottles, putting it into a sterilized tube. He then drew the second liquid up and placed that into the same tube.
He handed it over to J'ohn who put it on a rotator to concoct the mixture together. After a few seconds the rotator stopped and Batman drew up that liquid and injected it into the line of Flash's drip.
"This will work." Batman said, glancing at anyone as if daring them to contradict him. Everyone nodded and then watched Flash.
Half an hour had passed and they noticed that his fever was dropping. Hawk Girl and Wonder Woman both looked like they were going to doze off when Flash suddenly moved. Everyone sat up straight and gathered round his bed.
"What happened?" Flash asked, blinking slightly at the group.
"You saved me," The Lantern started. "After you were injected with something to break down your DNA." He smiled down at Flash. "How do you feel?"
"Hungry!" Flash said, sitting up as everyone laughed. "Wait what happened to Marian?" he looked through he group.
"She escaped." J'ohn said, startling everyone.
"How do you know?" Superman asked. J'ohn leaned over and turned on the TV, tuning it into a news station.
"Top story tonight, an entire police squadron has been attacked. Details are sketchy but from what we can gather a new prisoner was being escorted to a high security prison when somehow the prisoner escaped. As we said details are sketchy but we will update you as soon as we find out." J'ohn switched off the TV.
"You think Tomatan?" Hawk Girl asked.
"No." Batman said, still looking at the blank TV. "Marian escaped to go and hunt down her sister." Everyone looked between each other, scilence falling on them.
"At least she met her match." The Lantern laughed.
"Yeah don't try to take on the entire Justice League!" Flash joked, with everyone laughed over it. Free from pain the whole group realized just how much each of them meant to each other.
"Next time we say wait, we mean it." Wonder Woman said.
"Yes Ma'm!" Flash saluted, sending everyone laughing again.
"You look like you're running from something." A man said, leaning over to the woman at the back of the bus.
"Who isn't?" The woman answered through a thick European accent.
"Good point." The man said. "Marcus." He extended a hand.
"Tomatan." They shook hands.
"Running from family?" he asked.
"Yeah. Made some mistakes...but I'm hoping to continue on my course." She smiled, looking into her own world.
"What are you planning on doing?" he asked.
"DNA research." Her smile widening even further.
Right that's it! The end! I won't be making anymore stories for a while because I've got mock exams coming up and my science experiments to concentrate on for AS level! Will be back in a few months I think.
So wish me luck! And thanks so much for the reviews! Bye!
