Hawkgirl was using every amount of self-restraint she had to not leap at the yelling man. She didn't even know why. Flash wasn't blaming John or herself. He was blaming his bad judgment and lack of knowledge and so on and so forth. She had repeatedly attempted to get him to understand that he couldn't have known that Cobalt Blue was going to show up, much less kidnap Wally.
"I should've gone with you to drop him off." Flash punched his desk in anger, and then paused, as if gathering his thoughts. He looked at John, "And he wants to meet tomorrow?"
John nodded but Batman was the one who answered,
"This actually might work out in our advantage." Superman cocked an eyebrow in confusion,
"How?" Batman held up the map of the area he had been studying,
"The meteor will come at this time tomorrow and with Kid Flash in this area," He jabbed at Central City, "We should be able to contain the meteor with no risk to him."
"And what happens if Cobalt Blue kil—" A sharp glare from Batman silenced Diana quickly. She looked away and placed a hand on Flash's shoulder,
"We'll help you get him back."

J'onn waited for the doors to slid open before walking into the room,
"Nightwing isn't here?" He inquired after peering around the room. Wally shuffled his deck for the tenth time,
"Said he wanted to talk to someone. He'll be back later." J'onn nodded and walked around the room to gaze at the monitors,
"They haven't changed in a while." J'onn blinked at Flash, who grinned sheepishly, "I've had a while to figure out what the squiggly lines mean."
He laughed to himself and settled back.

Nightwing set the cup down gently and tugged at his pulled back hair. He watched as other man refilled his cup with a smile,
" I must say Master Dick, it has been awhile." Dick Grayson sighed lightly and gave the Englishman a half-hearted smile,
" What can I say, Al? I needed someone to talk to." He picked up the cup once more and took a sip. Alfred watched him with interest,
"How is Master Wallace?"
"Not good. We haven't said much but J'onn's narrowed it down to a day maybe two."
"Well, I'm sure that Master Bruce will handle what he needs to."
"That's just it Al! Bruce knows that Wally and I are best friends! Brothers even! How ever you wanna put it and he didn't even bother to let me know he was sick!"
Dick placed his cup down before the urge to throw it became too strong. Alfred remained still, allowing the younger man time to vent, which he did,
"I had to call the entire team! Starfire is still crying. I'm not sure how Raven is, but then I tried to get a hold of Rayner and he's on the other side of the galaxy and if Bruce doesn't come through I…I don't know if I can forgive him."
Alfred sipped his tea quietly,
"Master Dick, we both know that Master Bruce has his own ways and that he cares for Master Wallace almost as much as you do."
"But not even a notice! If I hadn't called to talk to Wally, I would never have known!"
"Yes. That is true. But I suppose…he was trying to protect you still."
"Protect me? From what?"
"I may be just speculating but perhaps…what if you had gone and something went awry and death was still his future…I believe that may be how Master Bruce is thinking." He stood up and collected the empty cups, "Now more then ever, we must trust each other's judgment, even if we find it wrong."

Kid Flash pulled at the rope once more before sighing in defeat. Cobalt Blue stood off in a corner and was gazing at his sword, wiping away the dried blood of his nephew. He looked over at Kid Flash and laughed, his amulet glowing dangerously,
"Calm down. If Barry shows up tomorrow, I'll kill you then." He sheathed his sword, "If he doesn't show…I'll still kill you."
Wally's eyes went wide and he shook in fear,
"Why can't you just leave him alone?" Cobalt's head snapped to the side as he walked over to the child, hauling him up roughly by the hair,
"Because he got everything I deserve!" He snarled, dropping Wally back to the floor. Wally growled quietly,
"Oh, you're going to get what you deserve." He muttered to himself,
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
