Chapter Eight

"You have 12 hours to comply. I will send the coordinates to where you should bring him." Then the link was severed.

"Holy crap!" blurted the Flash, "We're not going to do what he says are we?"

"No," said J'onn in answer to the Flash's statement.

"Hawk Man, were you able to trace back his location?" asked Wonder Woman.

"No, I wasn't able to track the signal, the tracer has gone through six different locations. Each one on a different continent."

"J'onn can you get a mental link on Bruce or Superman?" Wonder Woman asked the green Martian.

"I have already tried during the communication and I was not successful."

"Do you know how Bruce and Superman found Death's location?" asked the Princess.

"I believe it had something to do with the device that ailed Batman."

"GL go see if you can find anything in the labs that might have been left by Bruce or Superman."

"Yes, Wonder Woman," replied the second youngest full time member of the JLU. Then he headed off to start searching the labs.

"Flash, you go and stand guard in Batman's room. I doubt that Death will try anything but just to be on the safe side."

"Sure thing Princess."

Just as the Flash left, the computer screen came up stating that they had a message.

Hawk Man went over and opened the message, then turned to the remaining members of the Justice league in the room. "It's the location for the drop site."

In the infirmary:

The Flash was just entering the room thinking about what they were going to do. They couldn't give that maniac Batman and they couldn't abandon Superman and the old guy. When he looked up he saw that the kid was still asleep, or unconscious, with his girlfriend sleeping in the chair with her head and arms on the edge of the bed. There was a blanket on the floor around the chair.

The Flash went over and picked it up and put it back over the girl. He then walked quietly over to the end wall and sat down in the last chair and began to just watch the two in the room making sure to stay quiet so as not to wake them.

After about five hours of vigil and thinking, with occasional visits from J'onn and Diana, the Flash's attention was drawn to the bed in front of him. At first he thought that it was the girl on the side of the bed waking up but she was still fast asleep. Her movement was caused by Terry. He was moving his arm out from under her as he was waking up.

The Flash watched as he pulled his arm up to his face and rubbed his forehead. He winced at the movement that sent a spike of pain through his chest. Terry then tried to push himself to a sitting position.

The Flash zipped to his side to try to keep him lying down, "You can't sit up yet it's better for you to stay lying down."

He put his hands on Terry's shoulders and tried to keep him down but was lightly shoved away by the boy. Before even the Flash could do anything more Terry was sitting up in the bed and surveying the room.

"Where's Wayne?" he asked in a rocky voice. The Flash was caught off guard by the question and hesitated with a few answers on the tip of his tongue. Finally he settled on one that was only a half lie.

"He's searching for that mercenary."

Terry closed his eyes for a minute and seemed to shudder briefly. Then he opened his eyes abruptly and stared at Flash. The stare was a rival to the original Bat's. It seemed to see through him and the Flash took a step back from the bed.

"Where is he?" Terry almost demanded, the shakiness in his voice had vanished and it became cold.

"Around," the Flash said nervously. He stared back at Terry and regretted it because the stare had turned to a glare with a hint of anger tinting his eyes.

"What did he do," Terry said in a monotone voice at the nervous Flash.

'J'onn!!! Get down here quick and bring Diana with you.' Flash mentally called the Martian in a panic over what to say. Also Terry was starting to get out of the bed and remove the IV lines.

The glare that Terry was conveying to the Flash was quickly devouring the Flash's courage and he began to back up. "Terry, you really should be in bed and resting. You're just going to make your injuries worse if you over exert your self."

Max was just waking up from the noise in the room and looked to see that Terry wasn't in the bed. She panicked for all of a second and then she registered Terry up and walking to a fearful Flash. Then she became angry with him being out of bed when he should have been resting.

"Terry, what do you think you are doing?" came an angry voice from behind Terry. The anger dissipated from his eyes and was replaced by humor. He turned slowly and dipped his head slightly as he saw Max glowering at him. "What are you doing? You should be in this bed getting well. Get back here now mister or I'll drag you over."

"Okay Max, I'm coming. Don't stress out." He said trying to avoid her anger as best he could. When he limped his way to the bed he lost his strength and almost hit the floor. But just before he could hit the floor the Flash ran over and caught him and helped him the rest of the way to the bed much to the protest of Terry. Just as he was about to say something more the door to the infirmary blew open and startled everyone in the room.

In the door way stood J'onn and Diana looking ready for a fight. They looked around quickly and then to the Flash. "What's wrong?" said the princess curtly.

"It's okay it's been handled," Flash said looking over to Max with a thankful expression.

"What happened?" asked J'onn as he relaxed his fighting stance. He turned his attention to Terry and grimaced. He walked over to the bed and stopped. "You should be lying down and why did you take out the IVs?"

"That's what I told him," stated the Flash.

J'onn then looked at Terry and sighed, "You are Batman, though whether that is a good or bad thing we will have to see." Terry just glared at the Martian with a look that rivaled the old man's.

"Speaking of Batman, where is he? The Flash won't tell me so maybe one of you will," asked Terry with a calm voice.

The Martian looked over at Diana and then back to Terry. "Bruce went after the mercenary called Death. He left with Superman over six hours ago. They were captured by Death who wants us to give you to him in exchange for them." He paused at the look of dread on the young man's face.

As he looked at Terry the dread changed to rage and determination.

"Terry you are not even going to attempt to go anywhere in your condition," stated Max with a superiority. You have something already planned right?" she said as she turned to J'onn and Diana.

"Yes, we do. We are going to leave for Earth in an hour to ambush Death at the drop site."

"How do you plan on catching him off guard?" asked Terry coolly.

"We are going to put Flash in a replica of your costume and place him at the site then when Death shows up we will move in and attack."

"Why do I always have to be the bait?" complained the Flash.

"Because you are the closest in physical size to Terry," stated J'onn.

"Oh."

"It sounds like a promising plan but I doubt that Death would fall for it he is probably expecting something like that. Do you even know who it is you are dealing with besides his name," Terry gave the Martian a skeptical look.

"We know that he is an enemy not to be taken lightly, in respect as to what he did to you and how he managed to catch Bruce and Superman. But we believe that our plan will be successful in defeating Death." J'onn then motioned to the other Leaguers in the room and they all left. That left Max and Terry alone in the infirmary.

"They don't understand who they're dealing with do they?" asked Max as she turned to face him.

"No, they don't," he said to her as he looked out the window.

"Do you think that their plan will work?" she asked.

"I'm not sure. I would like to see the message that they received from Death though." He gave Max a sidelong glance and a half smile.

Even after all this time she couldn't resist. She resigned with a small sigh, reached into her bag that she had brought and pulled out her computer. She found an access port in the control panel and plugged in. She spent the next half hour hacking into the Tower's systems. Without the updated programs, Wayne had given her, it would have taken days.

She finally found her way into the transmission records and pulled up the message from Death. "I've got it Terry." She then turned the screen to face him and hit the play button. She and her lover watched as Death gave his message. Terry's eyes were fixated on the screen and the image of Bruce in the armored bat suit.

When the transmission ended Max closed it back down and then went to find what Terry would ask for next. The drop coordinates.

"Max, I have to go and get my suit," he said in a calm voice. Max sighed and looked at him.

"What about your ribs? It's got to be painful to breathe."

"I'll breathe later," as he said that he faintly remembered a similar conversation with Wayne.

"You really think that you need to go?" she asked rhetorically.

"Yes, you saw how he had Wayne and Superman trapped. I also noticed that Wayne was wearing the bat armor. He's worked on that for years, even before I came around. Max, that suit amplifies his strength ten times and since he's worked the bugs out it allows him to do things that he did at his peak."

"I know you have to go. I did research on this guy while you were MIA and I have no doubt that he could take out the rest of the league. He must know all of their weaknesses from the length of time that they have been around." She then closed her laptop and helped Terry take off all of the monitor wires. As they left the room she picked up her bag and turned to him. "I'm coming with you also."

"Max it's too dangerous."

"Terry, I have been doing your job since you vanished, the old man gave me a crash course and there is no way that I am going to let you go down there and face Death again by your self. And that's final." They left the room and headed as quickly to the lab as Terry could go.

As they entered the lab they saw that the suit for the most part had been repaired. Terry figured that the Green Lantern had done it. Since he was just in his boxers anyway he began to pull on the suit with only a bit of dificulty caused from his injuries. Before he put on the cowl to finish the illusion he turned back to Max who was starting to strip to her undergarments.

Terry wasn't embarrassed because he'd seen her that way many times. But he was curious as to why. Then it struck him. Wayne had made her a suit. He watched as she slipped it on and turned to face him. "The drop site is fairly typical. Pier 21 at Gotham Harbor."

"Then let's hurry or we'll miss our ride," he said as they both pulled on their cowls in unison, turned on the camouflage and headed for the docking bay as fast as possible.

(A/N) Sorry that it took so long but how did you like it. After the dry spell of increativity I'm finally getting back into my grove. I'm planning on doing a couple oneshots of Spiderman crossovers so keep a look out if you like Spiderman. Some will be crossovers that I have been looking for but not many of them exist.

Please review and tell me what you thought!!!
