Chapter 2

Lynn had an inborn instinct of when there was something wrong. She just knew. That was why she woke up in the middle of the night, reaching for her bedside light before she knew what she was doing. Someone was in her apartment.

She rolled out of bed, not making the slightest thump as she hit the floor. In the main room. There. A bunch of weirdoes who seemed to be looking for something. She pulled on some clothes and moved into the room, switching the lights on as she went past. They all turned around. She grinned, a predator's grin when he's caught his prey.

They all pounced at once, only to find the girl they'd been looking for gone. Disappeared. A voice rang out behind them.

"Looking for me?" The girl was standing in the middle of the room, as though nothing had happened.

"How...?" one of the men asked. The all had masks on, so she had no idea who they were.

"I'm a teleporter." The girl supplied helpfully when he'd finished.

"Look, kid, we only want to talk..."

"Nice try. People don't usually break into someone's apartment in the middle of the night just to talk. Come back some other time."

"We've come about your brother."

Lynn froze. She didn't even notice someone step up behind her and knock her out. As she sank to the floor, she cursed her brother with language she didn't even realize she knew. Wasn't it enough to run away, without pulling her into his world as well? She was going to have a killer headache when she woke up.

Darkness. Wait, there, a light. Lynn climbed slowly out of unconsciousness. She groaned when she saw where she was. Chained to a wall in what was, she assumed, a basement. Great. Just wonderful.

A squeaking noise near the floor caught her attention. Rats. This just kept getting better and better. She fell into an uneasy doze. No point in staying awake, and God was she tired!

She woke up again about five hours later. Someone had come in. She looked up slowly.

"Lex Luthor."

"Correct, Miss West."

"Want to explain why I'm here?"

"Because your brother Wally and the Justice League are a threat that must be got rid of. You are the hostage that'll lead them here."

"Look pal, I know my brother's as dumb as they come, but that doesn't mean the rest of the League are as well. They're hardly going to walk into a trap."

"Oh, trust me, they will."

"And how are you going to manage that?"

"Tell them they've got twenty-four hours to disband the League, or you die."

Lynn smirked. "And have you considered exactly what my brother'll do to you if you do kill me?"

"If the League kills me, the President will order them to disband. In case you hadn't noticed, I've got a fair amount of influence with the President." He studied her closely. "You don't seem to be that bothered about dying."

"What's the point in living if you've got nothing to live for?"

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly what I said. My parents are dead, Wally doesn't care a damn about me, and I've got no friends. Sorry to have to break it to you like this, but your plan won't work. Wally doesn't care enough about me to request the League to disband just because of the threat of my death."

"You're not consistent, Miss West. A minute ago, you were threatening me with what would happen if I did kill you, now you're saying no-one cares. If you're going to lie, make it a believable one, and stick to it."

"I see you know what you're talking about."

"I always do. Otherwise I don't waste my breath."

You know the routine. Read, review, etc...
