In the last review I got, there was a complaint about Superman being a complete an utter git in my story. Sorry people, but the plain truth is that I hate Superman (and Wonder Woman, but not as much).

Chapter 5

Flash didn't look up as Superman entered his room.

"Flash? You ok?"

He didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry about your sister. We couldn't really do anything else."

Still nothing.

"Batman and the Question are studying the transmission Luthor sent us, and J'onn's doing his best to trace it."

"Good."

"I'll see you later then."

Superman left as quietly as he'd come in.

"Flash?"

He looked up as Kara came in.

"You ok?" she asked.

"Not really."

"We could go look for her if you want."

"I don't want to get her killed."

"She'll die anyway if we don't find her."

"I know, but I don't want to speed it up. She's all I have left of my family, I don't want to lose her."

"So you're just going to wait for her to die."

"You know, you're really quite unpleasant when you want to be."

"Hey, I'm a teenager, what do you expect? Do you want to ask the others to help look for her?"

Flash shook his head. "And now I'm being bossed around by a teenager. Great."

"Are you coming or not?"

"Stop nagging already!"

"Batman."

Bruce Wayne looked up as J'onn came in.

"What is it?"

"Flash, Supergirl, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Huntress, Hawk and Dove have left to look for Flash's sister. Superman's taking care of something in Metropolis, you're the second in command. What do you want me to do? Send another team out after them?"

"No, there's no point. They'd probably refuse the order and help look for the girl, and we can't afford to give Luthor any warning."

J'onn sighed. "So we're just going to let them run wild and more than likely warn Luthor that we're looking for Lynn West. You've come up with better plans." He fazed back through the floor.

"I've found something."

Batman turned back to the Question. "What?"

"In the transmission, there's a window in the cell. The light coming through would suggest it's around twilight or dawn, although I'd say almost definitely twilight. There's different shades of colors. It was eleven o'clock when the transmission came, so for it to be twilight there, it would have to be England, or somewhere else in Europe."

Batman nodded. "Luthor has several contacts in England, so it would make sense for him to have gone there. I'll call Flash and tell him."

Supergirl walked slowly over to the group of heroes who had decided to help Flash.

"I checked the factory, there's nothing. No sign of human life whatsoever."

"Maybe he's gone to one of his cronies' house, and they're helping him." Dove suggested.

Flash' com link buzzed suddenly, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had fallen over he group.

"Hello?"

"Flash, it's Batman. Question's found something on the tapes. He thinks that Luthor has gone to England. I checked the flights and he's in London somewhere. Come back to the Watchtower and we'll send someone with you."

"We can manage."

"Flash, if you really want to save your sister, you'll come back. If not, you're just going to get her killed."

"In that case you can join us there. Over and out."

Sorry this has been so long, our computer had a virus on, so what with the parents yelling at me, and etc, I didn't get much time to write. Thanks to any who have left a review, I haven't looked yet, so I don't know. See you next time.
