"That's not good." Diana muttered. Kara laughed.
"I'd have to put it a little higher than not good." She grinned. A blast of heat vision lanced out, and slammed into the robot. It seemed to be made up of dozens of the smaller robots. Six legs, with each ending in a hand made of the robots, plus a tail, that, confirming Diana's suspicions, fired a laser blast, that was deflected off one of Lantern's shields. The two super heroines charged in, pulling back for a matching blow to the massive robot's head. The creature reeled back, and then fired a blast. Diana deflected it off her gauntlets, but it threw them to the ground. Green lightning lashed out and slammed into the robot, distracting it from smashing them. Hawkgirl dove in from above, slamming her battle mace into it, the weapon sparking with energy. The creature reared back on it's rear four legs, and two blasts of heat vision, and a ring blast slammed into the monsters chest. Flash darted forwards, and distracted it, causing it to fire it's laser at him. He dodged with ease. Another blast of lightning slammed into the creature, and Flash bolted up the front of the creature, driving his fist into the middle of the mess, then racing back out with a wire in hand. Diana pushed off the ground, and slammed the creature with her fists, throwing it up on two legs. Kara joined her a moment later, followed by Clark. Lantern slammed it from above, with an energy mace of his own, and Hawkgirl hit it again. Then they heard Adam yell.
"Back off, this is going to be really nasty!" The three beating on it, flew back, with Kara and Clark hitting it with heat vision, and Lantern firing blasts of energy. As soon as Hawkgirl was clear, Adam yelled something none of them could understand. Then they saw what he meant about dangerous. A massive lightning bolt, pure white in color, and almost seven feet thick at the tip, slammed down into the middle of the robot. Sparks flew, and then it exploded. Everything went white, then green. As the smoke cleared, Lantern lowered the force-field. It probably wasn't needed, but he had done it anyway. After all, Shayera was with them. Flash appeared, having out run the blast. Kara looked around.
"Where's Adam?" She asked, suddenly concerned. Then she stopped, she could hear him, but didn't see him. A pile of debris exploded upwards. Adam stepped out, looking nearly unharmed. Nearly, blood ran freely down both his arms. Kara landed next to him. "What happened?" She asked.
"I got blown up, it happens." He shrugged, then turned around. "Can you pull those shards of glass out of my back? I can't heal with them in there." She stared and did so. "This is going to hurt like hell." He muttered, then screamed. She watched in amazement as the wounds stopped bleeding, then smoothed over. She stared at him as he turned around. He smiled, and toppled forwards.
"Adam!" She caught him as he fell.

"He will be fine." J'onn informed her. "He simply over-extended himself." Kara sighed, and laid her hand on his. "He is unresponsive, because he is in a self-induced, and likely protective trance. It may be possible to bring him out of it, but... I would not recommend it."
"Can he hear me?" She asked. He nodded. She turned towards Adam. "You're a jerk, a great big jerk. Making me worry over you, I should beat you." She snapped.
"Go ahead." He replied. She stared a moment. He opened his eyes, lifting his free hand.
"Are you alright?" She asked, concerned.
"Just fine." He grinned. "For a great big jerk that is." She stared as he laughed.
"I'm sorry about that." She apologized. He continued laughing waving for her to stop.
"No big deal, I meant to tell you, but I knew you had my memories, so I thought you knew." He replied, as he finished. "I should have said something. Now, as for that beating." He began. She laughed.

"I told you so." Lois muttered. He had told her during the second Hawkgirl incident. She elbowed Clark as they listened to the conversation through the wall. She turned, to see him gone. She turned back, to see Kara leaning against the wall.
"Told who so, and about what?" Kara asked. Lois sighed.
"Clark, and that you two were right for each other. You're a perfect match. You compliment each other very well." She smiled. "Besides, I can see you have him well in hand." A sigh passed her lips. "If only that would work with your cousin." She muttered.
"You aren't going to need to worry about that. I'm going to kill him." Kara assured her, and walked back into the room.
---
"Don't you wonder?" Hawkgirl asked.
"Wonder what?" Lantern responded, adjusting his arms. He was standing behind her with his arms draped over her shoulders, nuzzling against her hair. She leaned back.
"What secrets are locked inside the minds of the people around here?" She grinned.
"Such as?" He grinned.
"Booster Gold, is from the future. Plus there is Orion, and Mister Miracle, both from far flung alien worlds. Dr. Fate, and Adam, both have memories, from thousands of years ago, and Adam has memories from other multiverses. Just imagine the kind of knowledge that's there." She laughed.
"Yes, but think about who you're talking about. Most of them only tolerate each other, because we can beat them into it." Lantern laughed.
"Except Adam." She pointed out. He laughed, and nodded.
"True. But if Supergirl wasn't around, I don't think he would be either." Lantern laughed. "But enough about them. I want to concentrate entirely on you." He said, and leaned around front to kiss her.

"Not tonight. I've got a head ache." Bruce muttered and rolled over. Diana stared and resisted the urge to slam her fist into his head, and really give him a reason.
"What's on your mind? This is the first time you've ever said that." She asked concerned. He sighed.
"Worried." Bruce grunted. Diana's eyes narrowed and she poked him in the side.
"The great Bruce Wayne, worried?" She chuckled. "Or is it the Mighty Batman?"
"Both." He grunted again. Diana sighed. :He's going to make me pry it out of him.:
"Alright, I'll bite, what's got the two of you nervous?" She asked, tickling his side. He rolled over, to get away. Then he rolled back.
"This." He held a small velvet box in his hand. She stared, and he sighed. "Alfred gave this to me. On my eighteenth birthday, in accordance with my parents will." He opened it, and the ring inside was breathtaking. A hexagonal diamond, with a flat top, and six rubies set around it. A long band of sapphire ran around the outside of the golden band. Diana gasped. "It was my mothers engagement ring."
"She must have been an amazon." Diana breathed. Bruce looked at her curiously. "To carry that." Bruce laughed.
"The will also left very specific instructions." He smiled. "I was to only show this ring to two people. Alfred, and the one."
"The one?" Diana asked.
"The one I wanted to marry." Her mind clicked, and she gasped. "Will you marry me Diana?" He asked with a smile on his face.
"Of course." She laughed, and kissed him. He lifted her hand, and slipped the ring on her finger. She stared at it a moment.
"Take it off." He asked. She stared at him in surprise. "My headache is gone." Then she grinned, and replaced the ring in the box, and set it on the table.

"What a day." Flash muttered. He was sitting back in his apartment, enjoying being still. For the fastest man on earth, sitting still was the most enjoyable thing he did all day. Of course, the instant he leaned his head back, hands folded on his stomach to sleep, all hell broke loose. An explosion sounded out side window, and he was up and there just in time to see something white streak away, followed by something orange. A second later, he was out and down the stairs after them. As he closed the distance between them, a thought crossed his mind. :Looks like I might have some competition for fastest man on earth.: He poured on more speed, rapidly closing the gap between them. As he closed in on the first speedster, he grinned. :Maybe not man.:
"Hurry up, he's getting away!" The woman, in a deep orange version of his suit, with obvious modifications, and stylized silver stars instead of his lightning logo. He looked forwards, and saw she was right. He accelerated, and left her behind as he raced forwards. Whoever he was, he was faster than that woman, but not faster than Flash. Turned out, there was no competition at all. He caught the white suited man, and grabbed his leg. The man tripped and tumbled forwards as Flash stopped. He slammed into a car. The woman stopped just past Flash, over balancing a bit and almost falling. "You caught him!" She sounded amazed. Something was funny.
"Of course. I am the fastest man alive." He grinned widely. He held out his hand. She stared for a second then shook it. "And you would be?"
"I am called Dancer, Comrade." She smiled back at him. It struck him then and there, that she was Russian.
"Flash." He replied unasked. "Who is that?" He pointed at the unconscious man in the white suit.
"Suncross." She replied, almost spitting the name. "My prototype."
"Prototype?" Flash asked, blinking.
"Yes, her prototype." A man said, stepping out of the shadows of a building behind them. Flash jumped. "Don't worry. My name is Dr. Krochev. I can see you're a little confused." He replied.
"Just a little." Flash nodded.
"Suncross, and Dancer, are based off of you." He sighed. "We found your peculiar abilities, very interesting, and sought to duplicate them. It didn't work quite as well as it was supposed to. Unfortunately, the formula we found, only works on women." The doctor shrugged.
"He's not a woman." Flash pointed out.
"Sorry. I mean it only works on women correctly." He sighed. "Suncross, was the test subject for the project. His father, was the man who created the formula. He took the formula, and became this. Unfortunately, the process was not exact. He cannot control his own speed. Once he starts moving he can't stop. Poor Peter. His father only learned it, when he asked his son to come to him from across the room. Peter couldn't stop, and blew his father into nothing but blood." Dancer sniffled. "When Peter ran, Alexia took the other vial, to catch him. That's how they ended up here."
"How did you get her so fast?" Flash asked.
"I can feel my niece and nephew. I have a rather unique power of my own. I move simply through any handy shadow. I've been following them for days now." The man looked up. "Can you help us?" He asked. Flash swallowed.
"I don't know." He answered after a moment's thought.
"Please, try?" Alexia asked.
"I will." He touched the communicator in his ear. "J'onn, you there?"
"Yes." The deadpan voice came back. "There seem to be two other energy signatures similar to yours, is there something wrong?"
"You could say that." Flash responded with a sigh. "Bring the three of us, and the doctor here with us up please."
"Momentarily." J'onn responded. There was a hum, and the four flashed out.
