OMG! I'm so sorry, I should have updated this months ago! Really sorry! Thanks to all those who reviewed and who waited for this next chapter.
Chapter 6
Lynn spat blood out of her mouth and looked back up at the two bodyguards.
« Look, I told you, I don't know anything, ok? I haven't spoken to my brother for years. He left when I was ten, and good riddance. »
Luthor came forward out of the shadows of the room. « Miss West, as I believe I have explained before, I need to know a little bit more about the League than their identities and various powers... Come to that, what are yours? The men I sent to kidnap you told me you could teleport, is that it? »
« Why the hell should I tell you? »
« Because if you don't I'm afraid Michael here is going to have to keep hitting you. »
Lynn's eyes narrowed. « Go to hell. »
« Miss West, this would be a lot easier if you just told us. You owe the League nothing. Why help them instead of us? »
« Because he's still my brother. »
Luthor studied her for a moment, then signalled to the bodyguard and left the room. A fist made contact with Lynn's jaw. Hard.
Flash looked up at the sky, searching for a sign of the Javelin. They had been in London for an hour now, and the reinforcements had yet to show up.
Five minutes later a Javelin parted the clouds in the sky and landed next to Supergirl. The rest of the founding members, except for J'onn, clambered out. Dove rolled his eyes.
« Well you certainly took your time. »
Batman glared at him, before turning to Flash. « I think I know where she is. If we get her out, can she defend herself? »
Flash grinned for the first time in two days. « Defend herself? You let her loose on that lot, all we'll be able to do is stand back and watch. Diana's got nothing on her! »
Lynn gasped for breath. She could feel one, maybe two fractured ribs, plus she was going to have a face full of bruises. There seemed to be a glowing blue marble hovering over her head which stopped her fixing her ribs. She couldn't do anything about the bruises, so she wasn't going to be able to go out for weeks after this. If she got out.
For the first time she faced the thought that Wally might not come and find her. Just as she was considering this, a voice came from outside the door.
« She's in here. Stand back. » came a whisper. She didn't recognise the voice. A few seconds later the door was blown in with the force of a small hurricane. A man in a red and white suit came throught first, followed by Flash and Supergirl. Lynn grinned.
« Well you certainly took your time. I was starting to wonder whether you were coming at all. » She stopped as the others walked in. Her eyes grew wide. Most of the founding members had turned out for her? She rolled her eyes.
« Pleased to meet you and all, but would one of you mind getting me out of here? This is an extremely uncomfortable position. »
Kara crossed the room and snapped the chains that held her wrists back. The blue marble thingy vanished.
Lynn grinned. A shark when it sees a bare behind. « I'll see you outside. I believe I have some unfinished business here. »
Kara exploded. « If you think we're going to let you go off and get yourself kidnapped again then you've got another think coming! »
« Supergirl has a point. It wouldn't be a good idea. » Batman stuck his oar in.
Lynn sighed. « If you insist. » Her eyes started to glow blue, a marked contrast from their usual deep brown. Blue ribbons shot up from the floor and surrounded her. When they disappeared, Lynn was wearing blue robes, but her eyes still glowed.
Flash smirked. « Welcome back, Cataclysm. »
Supergirl, Cataclysm, Flash and the other Leaguers raced or flew down the corridors, eliminating various different members of Luthor's team as they went. Lynn was the first to reach the door of Luthor's study, which went up in blue flames as she looked at it. She and Flash stepped into the study side by side.
« I don't think you'd better try anything like this again Luthor. Cause if not, we won't bother about the League, and you probably won't wake up the morning after. » Flash threatened, before turning and leaving, with Lynn behind him.
The Leaguers stepped outside the building. Flash turned to Lynn, who had now resumed her natural form.
« I'm sorry, ok? »
Lynn smiled. « Forget it. We were both as stupid as each other. »
Flash smiled back, before pulling her into a bonecrushing hug.
Diana grinned. « Flash, I think your sister might want to keep her ribs intact for a little while longer. »
Lynn smirked. « Don't worry, I got more than used to them when I was friends with Kara. »
Superman coughed selfconsciously. « I don't suppose you'd reconsider your decision not to join the League, would you? »
« Sure, why not? » Lynn climbed into one of the Javelins behind her brother, already being informed of all the gossip on the Watchtower by Kara.
And that's that! COMPLETE! And yes I do know the end was crap. Please leave reviews on the way out, and tell me if you'd like a sequel. I may never write one, but you never know...
