DON'T OWN JL

Nightwing placed down the card with a grin,

" Royal Flush." He announced proudly to the other man, who was propped up by several pillows. Wally grimaced and threw his cards onto the pile,

" You cheat."

" What? I don't cheat."

" Slight of hand."

" Whatever, you still owe me twenty bucks." Wally laugh was cut off by a hacking cough. He paled and pushed back into his pillows. Nightwing stared for a moment, unsure of what he should do. Wally rubbed at his eyes and took deep breaths.

" I'm okay." He wheezed.

" I'm gonna get J'onn." Without waiting for Flash's response, Nightwing turned and left the area.

Kid Flash gasped at the tall figure who was pointing his large sword at him. He was wearing a dark blue and sliver costume with a cape that looked like blue flames fluttering behind him. A large, deep blue jewel was encrusted in the front of his costume. He swung his sword and laughed maniacally.

Lantern sent a beam out and the figure swung his sword at it, sending it back at John. Unprepared for this, John was hit in the chest and sent flying in the ground. Kid Flash ran under John and continued running in circles, slowing the older man's descent.

Hawkgirl landed next to both of them and held up her mace. Kid Flash moved in front of her and pointed at the figure,

" What are you doing here?"

" Where is your uncle, boy?" Kid Flash took a step back and gazed at John. Hawkgirl growled,

" Who is he?" She asked, helping John sit up,

" Cobalt Blue. His sword can send energy attacks back at the user and he's fast." John held his head,

" How fast?" Blue ran forward and kicked Hawkgirl,

" That fast." He swung his sword once more and Kid Flash ducked under it, using a gust to force Cobalt Blue back.

Cobalt swung his sword up and caught Kid Flash on the arm. Kid Flash stopped spinning and clutched his bleeding limb.

Hawkgirl flew forward and swung her mace. Blue brought up his sword and the two collided together, sending sparks everywhere. They struggled for a moment until Blue's strength finally over powered her. He pushed her back. She hit one of her wings hard and landed across the kneeling Kid Flash.

Kid Flash's head hit the pavement with a thud, filling his vision with stars. Cobalt Blue sheathed his sword and walked over to the three jumbled heroes.

He picked up Hawkgirl and tossed her on John with a grunt, leaving the semi-conscious Kid Flash to fight on his own. Smirking, he picked up the child by his neck and brought him up to his face,

" Now, dear nephew. Where is Barry?" Kid Flash couldn't steady himself enough to answer.

Cobalt Blue frowned and tossed the younger man over his shoulder.

" Tell Flash," He began looking at the two struggling heroes, " If he wants his nephew back, to meet me tomorrow. Same time. Same place."

He pulled something out of the pouch at his side and threw it on the ground. The case smashed and from inside came billowing clouds of dark smoke. It disappeared quickly, revealing an empty street.

John ran forward and looked around,

" Damnit!" Shayera latched her mace onto her side and held her wing,

" We have to get to Flash." Lantern turned to look at her,

" This isn't going to be fun."
