Batman flew alongside Superman and studied the man of steel carefully. He was sure his anger would get the best of him eventually. They were about a mile from the high security prison where Luthor was being held when J'ohn contacted them both.

"We're getting reports of a break out from the prison." He told them. "I'm sending Diana, Shayera and John over to you, they should only be a few minutes behind."

"Any reports on who it is yet?" Superman asked.

"No, I can't get in touch with any guards."

"We're almost there." Batman told him, signing off and then lowering down to the approaching building.

"Three guesses as to where they got in from." Superman muttered, walking through the large hole in the wall.

They carefully stepped into the main grounds to see the dead guards scattered around the hole. Many of them had their throats ripped out; a few prisoners were also scattered about, also dead.

"About time you came!" they heard Luthor mutter to someone. They could just see three shadowy figures stepping out from the main entrance. A lot of smoke was billowing out from behind them and up through the tiled roof.

Luthor stopped as the moonlight hit him and he saw Superman and Batman. He muttered something that sounded like a curse, but Batman wasn't sure. A woman stood holding Luthor's elbow while the man who had taken Flash back in the Warehouse stood on the other side of Luthor.

The sibling duo took in the two heroes and spotted the three approaching ones. Illyeria released Luthor and looked over his head, flashing a grin at her brother. They then both stepped forward, peeling back their lips to flash their canine teeth.

The sibling duo stood and waited for the other three heroes to land before they spoke.

"Oh do we have a surprise for you?" Illyeria purred, glancing at her brother, a sly smile creeping onto her lips.

"Indeed." Her brother agreed, wondering around to stand behind her. "I believe you five are missing someone." He stated, his grin matching hers.

"Where is Flash?" Shayera snarled, her mace crackling with energy.

"Oh he's around…" Illyeria giggled.

"What have you done to him!" Superman growled.

"Look up."

They all did, just in time to see the black figure springing from the wall behind them, land before them and spun so fast that they knocked the five heroes off their feet and through the air.

By the time they looked up the figure had stopped and was stood in a pose, so familiar that John stood up ready to pull him into a hug. He stopped however, when he noticed the change in costume, the blue eyes lit from beneath the thin material over the eyes and the sharp fangs, standing out in a cruel smile, so unlike the man he knew before, now a monster in black.

"Flash?" he asked, his voice shaky.

"One and the same Green Lantern!" he spat out.

"What happened to you?" he asked.

"They set me free." He hissed through a smile, his eyes flashed a calm blue, and then he charged. Swiping the Lantern off his feet and into the ground he pummelled the man into the ground.

Flash leapt off the man as a mace swung for his chest, passing cleanly over the top of Lantern, who stumbled to his feet, blood seeping out of his mouth.

"I can smell it from here!" Flash laughed, standing off to the right.

"Flash." Superman stepped forward, his hands out in front of him, like he was approaching a frightened deer.

He turned to look at the hero and smiled, ducking slightly and then appeared before him, his teeth flashing for the Man of Steels neck.

Superman flung an arm around and knocked Flash off his body. Batman then tried to release a net trap which fell helplessly to the floor, the dark figure paused just before it.

"Close." He whispered, before flashing back over to Batman and knocking him into the wall.

Wonder Woman flew at Flash, but once more he had moved. This continued, with Flash knocking each of them about, and each of them not wanting to hurt him. During this time, Luthor was in his element, but was quickly dragged off by Garien. Illyeria stayed back to watch, and was pleased by the young mans progress.

After a few minutes like this Illyeria whistled and the Flash circled the group, lifting them all off the ground, and with some strength punched each one into the wall and made it collapse upon them all.

He then ran over to Illyeria, pecked her on the cheek and scooped her up.

"See you soon." He cackled, racing off with her to their new headquarters. "How was that?" he asked.

"Brilliant." She purred, rubbing circles on his chest. "You just have to kill them to finish it all." She told him, nibbling his ear.

"Yes my Lady." He sighed, running into the new headquarters to meet Luthor.

Superman had taken the full brunt of the wall and had saved most of them from getting crushed by the wall. He threw it off and checked each of his team over.

"Everyone okay?" he asked.

He received nods from all.

"What was he?" Diana asked.

"A vampire, created by Luthor!" Batman stated.

"So…he's turned then?" John asked, helping Shayera up.

"I might be able to reverse it, remember he still had a pulse, so he's still alive." Batman pointed out.

"So he can still be saved?" Shayera asked, hope gleaming in her eye.

"I hope so." He told them, walking to the Bat plane.

"He's a member of our family, we can't loose him." John said.

'We won't loose him' J'ohn told them telepathically. He's watched the whole fight, and had sent he new Flash. 'Batman will find a cure!'

The group nodded to each other and then followed the Bat Plane, that hope in their hearts keeping them going, keeping the despair that grew from controlling all in their bodies. The one point in their hearts where the Flash should be, was still there waiting for his return, if he ever made it back.

Sorry once more for the delay, got so much going on, but another chapter up and running, hope you like!
