DON'T OWN JL,

J'onn used his mental powers to send an image of Flash's back into the minds of the other Leaguer's brains.

" Great Hera." The link was broken when Superman hurled a chair across the room.

" Clark!" Batman stood up and in his path, " Get a hold of yourself!" Superman's eyes flashed dangerously,

" You saw those marks, Bruce. I know exactly what caused them!" The others kept to the end of the room, leaving the Dark Knight to deal with the Man of Steel.

" Yes you do. So what?"

" So what? So what! I could have…"

" You are not responsible for his actions, Clark. You never were. Only he can be responsible for his actions. And no matter how guilty you feel. It. Is. Not. Your. Fault." Superman paused with his jaw slack.

" I know Bruce. But when I think of that guy and what he did… even though he's not our Flash… we have to deal with him and his personality. I don't care what we have to do."

The Lord's Flash walked down the hall, looking for Green Lantern. Vaguely he could hear voices,

"--Even though he's not our Flash...we have to deal with him and his personality. I don't care what we have to do." Flash took a step back from the room and ran back down the hall.

" Just like back home…What did I do?" He rushed to the Javelin bay and found that the codes were different then the ones he had memorized.

" N-no!" He sobbed in horror. Quickly he ran back down the hall, his face crashing into the chest of John Stewart.

" You okay?" John asked worriedly. Flash stepped away from him,

" Please. I don't know what I did, b-but I'm sorry!" He was trembling from head to toe and his hands were over his head,

" What are you talking about?" Superman walked out of the room,

" John, what's going on?" John grabbed Flash's wrist and prevented him from running away,

" No! Flash! Uhh—Stop! He won't hurt you!" He struggled to keep Flash still, surprised at how strong the thin man was.

Superman grabbed the other wrist. Flash stopped struggling. Superman's grip was so much different then the one he was used to. He was now shaking uncontrollably.

" Please, listen to me Flash. I will not hurt you. I would never hurt you." Flash broke down into quiet sobs and placed his head against the s logo on Superman's costume. He sniffed and pulled back,

" I don't want to go back…Can I s-stay here?" John and Clark looked at each other,

" If you want to." John grimaced at Clark, his face reading, 'You can't promise him that.'

Clark mouthed back over Flash's head, 'I know.'

Flash scoffed the last burger down with a burp.

" Thanks, G.L." Lantern smirked, " What?"

" Nothing." He watched Flash reach for his French fries. Even though this wasn't the Flash he had worked with before, it was good to see him acting like his normal self. Before Superman had changed him. There were many reasons that no one disobeyed Superman, but mostly they listened for Flash's sake. The younger man now carried a scar across his cheek from when Batman had tried to stop Superman from killing Darksied. His wrist had been snapped when J'onn had allowed himself to be swayed by Morgan LeFay. Superman also held high stakes over their heads as well. Many lives were in danger if any one refused to corporate. No one wanted that on their conscience.

" John…Is that Superman?" John stood up, knocking over his chair in the process.

" Oh god no."
