Chapter Six

Disclaimer - Justice League and all of its characters belong to their respective owners, although I wouldn't mind meeting few of them. : D so no suing me! Please? Oh and the plot and the character Liz are owned by me and me alone. Umm... and write me a review if you actually want to see more of this fanfic.

Liz woke up dizzy and nauseated. She found herself on a white table about 6' x 6' in a white room with walls made of two-way mirrors. She groaned and held her head. Where the hell was she? She felt something cool around her neck. She glanced at a wall/mirror and saw that she had a shock collar on.

Upon trying to pry it off, she was shocked. She tried to remember how she wound up here and fell backwards onto the table with shock. "Batman!" Liz looked down surveying her body. Taking note of the patches of skin that had scabbed over on her wings and body she guessed the scientists had drugged her; preventing her from feeling the pain and waking up.

'I wish I could teleport but I have to know where I am to do so.' Liz thought. Drearily taking note of her white strapless dress that was way too short; she tried to destroy a mirror. Spitting acid at it she made a small hole but was shocked immediately. 'Shit that hurt!'

An electronic voice promptly announced, "Test One: response to water is now proceeding. Scientists, please report to decks seven through eleven for the observation of Mikagon." Dimly looking up at the ceiling, she noticed four holes forming. Just as Liz was wondering what they were for, torrents of water started to pour out of them.

Liz sealed a pocket of air around her head with her powers. She floated on the surface until the water reached the ceiling. Diving to the table and hanging onto an edge she peered at a mirror making faces while imagining them furiously scribbling notes down about her behaviors. She sighed growing bored and let go of the table to drift in the chamber wondering about Batman.

Batman sat at his super computer in the bat cave with a cold mug of coffee searching for Liz. "You have a message from J'onn, where do you want it?" inquired Alfred. He took Batman's mug away while waiting for an answer. Seeing as he wasn't going to get one he placed the message where the mug had been.

About two hours later Batman read the message. It said, "While scanning the tower's security I noticed an anonymity. Where Liz and or Mikagon had been the temperature remains ten degrees higher than the surrounding area." The rest of J'onn's message was his findings. Batman did a satellite search on it and soon found her location. "Thanks J'onn." He murmured and took off in his Bat mobile.

Liz was stuck in the water for two hours before it finally started draining. She sat down on the table waiting for the rest of the water to drain when she realized the table was sinking too! She rolled off of it just as it disappeared into the floor.

The computer announced "Test Two: combat skills, will now proceed for four hours. New shift of scientists please report to decks seven through fifteen." Liz watched a panel of the floor disappear as an eight-foot robot climbed out of it. Liz shot acid at the robot.

The robot took the blow and it quickly advanced on her and started firing lasers at her. Liz hoped Batman would rescue her soon and dodged a blow only to be knocked over by a right jab to her stomach. 'Hurry Batman, Please Hurry!!!'

Batman surveyed the building from the trees nearby. It looked like a prison more than a research lab, but looks can be deceiving. He called J'onn with his mind. 'J'onn?' 'Yes?' 'I need your help rescuing Liz.' 'I'll be there as soon as possible.' 'And J'onn?' 'Yes?' 'Thanks.' Back at the tower J'onn smiled and rushed to the Javelin.

About twenty minutes J'onn arrived and with wordless agreement they clasped hands and phased through the ground until they were underneath the scientists observing Liz.

They phased up and materialized next to them. Quickly taking them out they saw Liz bloodied and bruised leaning her back against the mirror in which they stood behind. Batman looked for a way to shut off the robot while J'onn phased through the mirror and phased Liz back through the mirror partially dragging her.

He laid her on the ground as the robot burst through the mirror. Batman planted an explosive Batarang on the robot as it shot its last shot at Liz and it went through leg. She groaned as she tried to sit up to shoot acid at the robot. Batman ran to shield her from the debris as the robot exploded. He covered himself and her in his cape.

"Batman?" she asked before shuddering. "Shhh... Yes, I'm here, you're safe." He said while cradling her as best as possible with her still having her wings. "Call Kipper J'onn. We're going to need his help in order to get out of here." Batman said as calmly as he could without looking up.

J'onn nodded and soon kipper appeared beside Liz in a golden glow. He signaled for Batman to place Liz on his back by kneeling down and nudging her slightly with his head while whimpering. Batman placed her with her arms around Kipper's wings and held her hand. J'onn grabbed her other hand sensing that Kipper was going to teleport out of here. Much to their surprise they were surrounded by a golden glow so bright blocked out everything besides each other. They had a brief sense of no gravity and landed on the ground outside of the building in the trees with the golden glow receding at a rapid rate. Kipper whined and laid down seemingly imploring someone to take Liz off of his back.

It was then that Batman realized she would die without immediate medical attention. "Kipper, can you take her back to the tower? Do you have enough energy?" Kipper nodded. Batman turned to J'onn, "J'onn, did you bring the Javelin here?"

"Yes."

"Good, we'll take that back to the tower." Batman pulled out a remote from his utility belt and hit a button to send the Bat mobile back to the Bat cave. J'onn and Batman then watched Kipper kneel next to Liz and shroud them both in the golden glow and when the glow receded they were gone. Batman turned, "Let's go."

Back at the watchtower; Superman was surprised by the sudden appearance of Kipper. He had been busy restocking the medical bay of their supplies. "Hello Kipper." Superman said and patted Kipper's head when he realized that Kipper was kneeling next to someone he looked over his wings to see Liz all battered up. "My god! What happened to her?" Kipper looked down as Superman gently moved her to a bed. He started wiping away all the blood and cleaning the wounds and bandaging them too as Batman entered the room.

"What happened to her?" Superman asked Batman. He surveyed Liz and bandaged a wound Superman hadn't gotten to yet before responding. "We found her defending herself from an eight-foot robot. You're guess is as good as mine as to exactly what happened to her."

J'onn walked in carrying an unconscious and battered Flash. "It appears Liz is wanted by more than one person." He said as he laid flash down on the bed next to Liz's. He retrieved the note from his tightly clenched hand. It read,

"Bring Liz to crime alley at three o' clock AM or the next one of you we meet will die."
