Flash found himself stumbling out of a black portal. He rubbed his eyes in confusion and looked around the room.

"What…?" he rubbed his face and stumbled back.

Illeyria smiled and guided him over to the bed in the corner. "You'll understand in time." She whispered, sitting him down and settling herself next to him. She drew him to her, resting his head on her shoulder and gently stroked his hair. "Rest, and you'll understand." She said patiently.

"Mmm." He mumbled, feeling himself sink into darkness. Within minutes he was asleep. Illyeria slowly lowered him flat on the bed and watched him for a few minutes.

With a smile she dropped a kiss on his forehead and then stood and left. Waiting at the door was Garien, he stood with his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.

"Well?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"He's slowly accepting it, soon that side of Wally will be obliterated to the back of his mind and his demon will control all." She smirked, leading the way down the corridor.

"Good." He muttered following her into the large spacious lounge. He settled himself on the sofa and picked up a glass of red liquid, the fire reflecting on the edge of the glass.

Illyeria stood over the fire in the fireplace and looked into the mirror. She paused and fixed her hair, smirking while she did that. She looked into it and gazed at her brother.

"Vampires?" she giggled.

"They think we're vampires?" he asked.

"Well we are based upon that aspect." She explained, sitting next to her brother. "But its more viral." She laughed again. The door behind the opened and a young blond man shuffled in and bowed to the both; then in a monotone voice he said, "Master bids that you make yourself comfortable and that he will break out sometime soon."

Illyeria nodded and waved the man off.

"At least we get to stay here for a little while longer." She said admiring her surroundings.

"Don't get used to it!" he warned, finishing his glass and placing it down. "And keep an eye on him." He indicated to down the hall.

"I'll watch him till he wakes up, we'll see how successful it is." She smiled, walking so lightly that she appeared to be gliding down the corridor.

"Hope that it is sister, I don't fancy having done all that work just to loose him!" he barked after her.

She threw an okay over her shoulder and continued into the room.


Shayera, Green Lantern, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and J'ohn all stepped out of the room and walked numbly down to the control room. Everyone they passed quickly moved out of the way by the looks on their faces.

"What happened?" Kara asked, having waited for word about Flash. She looked at her Uncles face and the tears sprang to her eyes. "No!" she gasped.

Superman turned his head and walked up to the main computer. "I want to find out who could fund for genetic and viral research!" he said to one of the technicians.

"Especially weaponry." Batman added.

"You don't think…?" Diana asked, shocked.

"It's possible." J'ohn said.

"No, it's true!" John shouted. "Why attack Flash other than to turn him against us!"

"Maybe for revenge?" Shayera suggested, paling at the idea.

"What are you on about?" Green Arrow asked. "I thought you could cure him?"

"They turned him into…something." Superman said, sitting down heavily in a chair.

"What happens if he is a weapon and you do have to…face him?" Black Canary asked, suddenly very afraid of the answer.

"If we can't reverse it, we'll have to lock him up." John muttered.

"It won't hold him." Batman explained. "We'd have to kill him."

Everyone with in hearing distance jumped up. "That's a bit extreme!" Someone shouted.

"What will hold him? Would it rehabilitate him?" Batman asked.

"It could give us a good chance of finding a cure." Shayera shouted.

"Would it be fair on Flash if he did anything, to come out of it and know he had done something wrong?" J'ohn asked, seeing batman's point but not entirely liking it.

"We'd be there to help him!" Diana said, agreeing with John and Shayera. The argument increased till everyone was shouting at each other.

Superman sat on the outside of the argument but suddenly spoke, enough to silence all into agreement.

"We capture him." Everyone stepped back from their divisional line and stared at Superman. "If we don't find a cure, and know we may never. Then we will consider other options." He sighed, finally looking up at the crowd, to see everyone nodding in agreement.

"But we have to find him first." Batman said.

"And we have to find who did this!" Superman growled. "Because he's going to pay!"
