SORRY FOR LONG UPDATE. DON'T OWN JL.

Flash stood in a small white circle Batman had drawn for him, shaking uncontrollably and turning back to glance at the League's Wally West every few moments. Lantern's hand was on Wally's shoulders as if trying to prevent him from escaping and rushing to the circle. Diana had given him a small kiss on the cheek and a hug, which almost made his heart jump. He loved the Amazon of this world; hell he loved everyone in this world. But he knew it was not his world to love.

Wally had told him that if he went back there was a good chance he would die. He knew this even before Wally had mentioned it. Superman had gotten more violent then normal and was taking unnecessary risks. He was going home only to die. The thought chilled his blood with its cold reality. He was going to die. There was nothing that could be done to help him and if he stayed, he ran the chance of killing the version of himself he wanted to be.

He could never admit fully to himself that he had thought of killing Wally and taking his place. He knew on several levels that it would never work; the Martian would figure it out in an instant to say the least. Deep down he felt that everyone had their place in life and this was his, to be Superman's punching bag until he killed him or until he was killed. It was an endless cycle. He couldn't win, so why fight? He knew he had never had Wally's strength and he never would. Something had happened to his counterpart to make him stronger then himself. He figured it had something to do with Superman being the way he was.

"Hey." His back tensed and he turned to see Wally, who had finally gotten away from John.

"You need to step away. The portal will open soon." He told him in a deadpan sort of voice. A prowling Batman was scaring off a small crowd, who was watching with interested looks and small flashes of pity.

"I…I just wanted to tell you—"

"I know." He gave him a small smile, "Believe it or not…this was the happiest few days of my life."

Wally's eyes narrowed and he held a hand to his head,

"The pain…it isn't so bad…"

"But the death will be."

Wally's face froze and Flash sighed at him. He was still naïve, still young compared to many others he knew. Flash was surprised that he still maintained his happiness even when so much was going on around him.

Wally locked eyes with him, the green tint not as bright as they were a few days ago and his voice hallow,

"Keep on running." A small smile played on his lips as he clasped Flash lightly on the back.

The wind began picking up, growing stronger and more violent,

"Flash!" Batman yelled over the howling. Flash looked over and smiled at Wally,

"See ya." A deep green glow covered the Leaguer as he was yanked back by his teammates. Civilians no longer needed the angry snarling of Batman to keep them at bay, they ran from the area with terrified yells and frightened screams.

The sky turned white and a small rip began to pull it apart. It grew wide and Flash covered his eyes.

The rift opened wider and wider and Superman pointed upwards,

"It's getting too big!" Was all his friends heard as their worlds went from white to black.

Superman was the first to rise after the explosion. He looked over and did a mental head count. Everyone was scattered around him, along with the Lord's Flash. He stood up on his feet and gasped. The street was gone everything was gone.

They were standing in a white piece of space. Superman's hearing picked up a faint sound of laughter, quickly he whirled around, his cape following.

"Hello Superman."

Standing ready in front of him was the Justice Lords, led by a very angry looking Superman.

One by one the Leaguers rose and each gave their own motion of surprise. Superman locked eyes with his good half and let them turn red,

"This ends now." With those words, his lasers fire, straight at the heart of Flash.
