Sorry about the wait everyone. Here is Chapter 5
Chapter 5: Rescue Part 2The figure emerged from the shadows. "Hello Superman. Now this is a surprise." None other than Lex Luthor was standing in front of him, looking mighty smug. "I'd never thought I would see the day that I finally have the entire Justice League in my possession, looking, well, helpless."
"What do you want with us Lex?"
Lex sat down in an old looking recliner chair. He placed his feet on an equally old looking desk. "That's for me to know and you to find out. The only thing I will tell you is that you were part of a little deal I made."
Superman was getting very frustrated.
"What deal?"
Lex laughed. "I can't possibly tell you that but what I do know is that a very special guest should be arriving very soon."
"WHO?"
" I believe you all know her, goes by the name Torrent."
Everyone gasped. Green Lantern struggled in his restraints.
"You sick twisted son of a bitch! You leave her alone." Green Lantern stood up but was knocked down with a heavy blow delivered by Grundy.
Lex got up from his chair and advanced towards them.
"Don't worry, she will be treated with the up most respect that she deserves."
The whole Injustice Guild laughed hideously whilst the Justice League feared what would happen to Torrent.
"Hmmm now I wonder where they were taken?" Torrent was searching the city docks, trying to find the Leaguers when she found a baterang lying on the ground near an old warehouse.
"This could only belong to one person- Batman." She pushed open the warehouse door. It was dusty and smelled like old fish.
"Pooh, that smells almost as bad as my socks." Suddenly she heard something but not in the surroundings but in her head. It was J'onn.
'Michelle, you have to get out! It's a trap!'
"What?" Lights suddenly came on, blinding her.
"What's going on?"
"Nice of you to join us my dear."
"Who's there?"
"Lex Luthor is my name, but you won't get to know me very well because it is now time for you to meet your maker."
Grundy ran at her and slammed her across the room.
"Michelle!"
"John?"
"Look out!"
Copperhead dived at her but a gust of wind blew him into Grundy.
Torrent flew up only to narrowly miss a bolt from Star Sapphire.
"Hey watch it lady!"
"I think you better watch it yourself." A huge black blob encased Torrent and she was send plummeting to the ground.
"Leave her alone!" shouted Wonder Woman
"What? And stop all of our fun, I don't think so."
Torrent slowing got up on her knees. A sharp pain was going through her head. "ARGH! What is happening to me?" she shouted through gritted teeth. She slowly started to change. Her purple hair was slowing changing to a sparkling white colour. Her eyes were no longer purple but a menacing white colour. She rose from the ground, hovering slightly. "Do you really think that you people can beat me?" The Injustice Guild was visibly shaking on the spot whilst The Justice League looked on in utter shock. Lex took a gun out of the desk and aimed it at Torrent. "Do you really think that little gun is going to hurt me?" growled Torrent. She spun around and lifted Lex off the ground using her telekinesis. "You haven't got a chance little man." She flung Lex with such force; he went flying through a wall.
"Does anyone else want to test my patience?"
The Injustice Guild looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They all ran at her. "Stupid, absolutely stupid." Murmured Torrent to herself. She picked up Grundy with her telekinesis and threw him into Shade. They both landed with a crunch, a crunch that made the Justice League wince.
She made a tornado and flew it at Copperhead. Copperhead was swirling around in it and swirled right out of the building. Star Sapphire and Cheetah both tried to do a flying kick to Torrent's abdomen but were blasted back by Torrent into a pile of crates. Torrent looked around her and flew over to the Leaguers. She undid everyone's restraints. Nobody spoke to her. They were all in too much shock. There was a crumbling sound in the corner. Lex Luthor was taking bits of rubble of him. Torrent spotted him and dragged him towards her.
"Right, now you know what I am capable off and your poor excuse for a team has been defeated I want to know why you lured me here and I better have a right answer."
Lex grinned slyly. "Maybe I don't want to tell to you."
"Wrong answer!" Her hands began to crackle with electricity. Slowly in her hands were two purple electrical balls. She raised them above her head. Lex's smile quickly faded and was replaced with one of horror. He placed his hands over his face. "Please don't do it!" A ball of electricity went straight at Lex. The warehouse filled up with a bright purple light. Lex slowly removed his hands from his face. A green case surrounded him.
"What is wrong with you?" shouted Green Lantern in disbelief. Torrent's face showed pure anger. She flew at a surprised Green Lantern and pinned him up against the wall. The other members all tried to grab Torrent off him but she threw them back using her telekinesis. "Why didn't you let me finish him off?"
"Because that is not what we do and it's not what you do either."
Torrent raised her fist at him ready to punch him but the same sharp pain in her head came back. "ARGH!" she released Green lantern and dropped to the floor. Her hair and eyes changed back to its normal colour. She lifted up her head and looked around. She saw some of the Injustice Guild lying in very awkward positions. "What happened?" she asked in a daze whilst slowly getting back on her feet.
John strode over to her, anger written over his face.
"What happened? You know what happened! You almost KILLLED Lex Luthor, hurt everyone else and nearly pummelled me to death. What were you thinking?"
Torrent was flabbergasted. She couldn't speak.
"Well don't you have something to say?"
Tears were forming in her eyes. "I don't know what happened. I really don't. I'm sorry John. I'm sorry everyone. I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't. I'm sorry."
She took flight and flew out of the warehouse.
"I'll go after her." Said Wonder Woman. She flew off after Torrent.
"I did a quick scan of her mind before she went. It seems she has no recollection of what happened." J'onn told the rest of the team.
"So what made her go all deranged then?" asked Flash
"I don't know but we will have to wait until she comes back."
"If she comes back. She might never come back after what I said to her." Said John sadly.
"It's not your fault. She will come back." Hawkgirl said comfortingly.
"I hope your right."
Wonder Woman scoured the skies, hoping to find the missing Torrent.
"Diana, any sign of her?"
"No, not yet Batman…wait I think I found her. She's on a skyscraper. Wonder Woman out." She flew over and landed next to Torrent.
"Thank Hera I found you. Are you alright?"
Torrent just stared at the stars in the sky.
"You know, we are not angry with you for what happened."
"Yeah right." Mumbled Torrent sadly.
"No it's true, we are just a bit…shocked. We never expected that to happen."
"I honestly didn't know what happened. One minute I was being beaten up, the next I'm apparently the most dangerous thing on the planet."
"We never said that, we just said that you are quite powerful especially at your age."
"Hmmm, I don't think everyone would want me to come back now after what happened."
"Don't be silly of course everyone would welcome you back. Especially John. He hasn't seen you in years and now that you have come back into his life, he would want you to stay."
Torrent wiped away some tears.
"You think so?"
"I know so. What do you say? Do you want to go back?
"Yeah! By the way thanks Wonder Woman."
"Please just call me Diana."
"Ok" They both flew off into the night.
Lex Luthor was sitting on his prison bed, thinking of ways to get out of jail and get revenge on the Justice League.
"Hello Luthor."
"What do you want?"
"I've come to give you a little warning,"
"You? Are warning me? Don't you know who I am?"
"Yes as a matter of fact I do. I know everything about you and so does my partner and your failed attempt of getting the girl wasn't a very smart move."
"You saw for yourself how powerful she was."
"Indeed I did and that's why I hired you because I thought you were capable of bringing her in but I guess I was wrong."
"Now listen here…" Lex stood up.
"No you listen." The figure pushed Lex back onto the bed.
"Your failure has resulted in my partner not being exactly pleased with you. Now Luthor, expect to hear from me very soon."
The figure slipped out of the prison unnoticed , leaving Lex to ponder.
"John, listen I'm sorry…"
"No Michelle I'm sorry for shouting at you like that. I know that you would never intentionally hurt anybody."
"I know, but what happened today was just as shocking for you as was for me. It just shows that not only the bad guys are capable of evil."
"Michelle, your not evil, I know that for a fact."
Michelle stared outside the window of the Watchtower.
"Listen I need to rest. I will see you in the morning. Goodnight John." She reached up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Night Michelle."
On her way to her room she bumped into Flash. "Hey Michelle."
"Hi Flash."
"You ok?"
"Yes I'm fine just a bit tired that's all. Well I'm going to go to sleep now."
"Ok, listen if there is anything you want to talk about, everyone is here to help, including me ok?" He had a look of complete sincerity.
"Thank you very much. I appreciate that."
"Well goodnight." With that he sped off.
Michelle got into bed and slowly drifted off to sleep, hoping that tomorrow would bring a new start.
Do you like it? Well if you do please review and if you have any ideas for improvement that would certainly welcomed. Next Chapter: Michelle goes out to dinner with John, Shayera and Wally. Oh the fun they will have. See ya.
