Confusion Says
Watchtower
Flash woke with a start. "Who, what, why?"
"You are very fond of doing that," J'onn said.
Flash looked around him. He was in the med bay of the watchtower, attached to a bunch of little wires and tab things. Black Canary was lying a few beds over. Her right leg was wrapped in a soft cast reaching from her mid-thigh to mid-calf. She was sleeping, Green Arrow watching over her. He looked up and noticed Flash was awake.
"It's pretty bruised and she broke her knee cap, but other than that she's going to be ok," he told the speedster.
"Not too bad considering the size of that rock," Flash nodded. "So what else happened?"
"After the rock fell on you, Savage escaped. But he was already retreating, so we decided to regroup and get more help."
"You are on restriction for the next three days until your concussion clears up and your ribs heal," J'onn said, injecting something into his arm. "Pain killers," he replied, noticing his patient's attention on the needle.
"Sweet," he replied as he hopped off the bed and dashed out of the med bay, ignoring J'onn's attempt to stop him. Seconds later he was on his butt in the middle of the hall.
"Problems?" Supergirl asked as she helped him to his feet.
"Floor go wavy, me go splat," he answered, holding his head.
"Did J'onn even release you from the med bay yet?"
"Yeah, but I think he forgot to mention the Watchtower was gonna spin like that."
J'onn's voice floated out of the med bay, "You did not stick around long enough to find out."
Supergirl laughed. "Well at least you can speak coherent sentences again."
"Yep, it's one of my many talents. Want to see some more?"
She smiled and leaned in towards him, "By the way, you looked kinda cute with that dazed expression on your face." She winked and floated down the hall.
Flash stared after her, not entirely sure that actually took place. "I have GOT to find out what pain killer J'onn gave me." Putting the incident out of his mind he continued down to the dining hall. He bumped into Batman, who was on his way out and holding a cup of coffee in each hand. "Monitor duty?"
"Something like that," he replied, continuing on his way.
Flash shrugged. He must have imagined the incident in the hall. Bats was acting normal. He zipped through the line and took a seat with John, Shayera, Superman and Diana.
"You know I'm right," John was saying.
"No you aren't," Shayera replied.
Flash leaned over to Diana. "What are the arguing about now?"
"I don't know but it's beginning to irritate me. How are you feeling?"
"Lousy, but food should help," he said, taking a big bite of hamburger.
Diana
watched him for about two seconds, shook her head and gathered her
things. "Shayera. Shayera. Hey Earth to Hawkgirl!"
Shayera's
head whipped around to Diana. "Hawkgirl is dead. How many times do
I have to tell you that?"
"Got your attention didn't it? We still on for tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Your place. Six-ish," she replied. Diana nodded then headed toward the tray disposal.
"What was that all about?" Superman asked.
"Nothing," Shayera replied, going back to her meal.
The three men just shrugged. Women stuff. They continued to eat in silence for a while. But of course Flash was at the table, so it didn't last long. At least he remembered to swallow first.
"Where are the magicians?"
"They went to Kasnia to figure out how Savage escaped," John answered.
"Have they had any luck?"
"Not really."
"Oh, I wouldn't say that," Zatanna said, coming up to their table.
"Must seek revenge!" the brightly colored parrot on her shoulder squawked.
"Where'd you get the bird?" Shayera asked.
"Savage's hide out. He's really slipping. He left plans and directions to his hide out in his cell. It was weird. Anyway we found Polly here in the warehouse he was using."
"Kill the Justice League."
"Well, he left nothing out did he?" Superman asked.
"Just wait until he hits the cuss words," Zatanna said with a grin.
"Domination!"
The alarm sounded and J'onn's voice came across their comm. links. "Savage just let the dragon loose in Hollywood."
"Yes!" Flash cried, jumping up from the table. "Round two!"
"Flash, you are on restriction," J'onn reminded him gently.
"Oh yeah." The others looked at him. "Go on, give him one for me. I'll find something up here to amuse me. Watch the flamethrower on that thing!" he yelled after them.
"Don't worry Ace, we got it," John said.
"Damnation!"
"Flash, do something about that talking nuisance would you, please? He's seriously beginning to annoy me," Shayera said.
"Sure, Feathers." She gave him a funny look before following after the others.
Flash took the parrot from Zatanna and wandered through the Watchtower. Every so often the parrot would squawk out something that would cause the other League members to give him funny looks. He just shrugged. There wasn't much he could do about it. He wandered into the main gathering room and found Stargirl doing her homework.
"Hey Flash! How do you spell pulchritude?" she asked him.
"I don't even know what that is," he replied.
She sighed. "It means great physical beauty."
"Oh. Why do you need to know?"
"We're doing a paper on the sociological aspects of New York and I asked Batman for a synonym for fake beauty and he told me that, and then disappeared."
"Sounds like Bats," Flash muttered.
"So can you spell it for me?" she asked, hopeful.
"No."
"Kill the Justice League," Polly interrupted.
"And the parrot has a repeat button. Swanky," he said sarcastically. "Sorry, kid. Go ask Steel, he's smart."
She sighed in disgust and went back to her paper. Flash continued on toward the hawk's nest. He figured the parrot would be happy on it's stick thing and since the nest was the closest thing to it, he hoped to dump the bird there. He zipped up there and found Beast Boy and Raven making out.
"Hey how'd you two get on the Watchtower?" They sprang apart and looked guiltily up at Flash.
"Hey you're out of the Med Bay!" BB exclaimed.
"When did you two join the League?" Flash asked bewildered.
"Last month with the other Titans," Raven answered.
"Bats let the Titans join?"
"Yeah after Raven saved the world, with a little help from the rest of us, Superman came to the tower and gave us the invitation," BB said.
"But Bats wouldn't let kids run around the tower."
"Hey we're heroes too. Just because we're younger, smarter and …"
"If you say faster, I'm going to have to say that you're a liar," Flash interrupted.
"I wasn't," BB protested.
"Uh-huh, sure you weren't kid"
"World domination!"
"Here, since you two are hiding up here, take the bird. He's starting to irritate me," Flash said, handing the bird to Raven. "Have fun kids. Ignore him when he starts to swear." Flash took off.
"Must seek revenge!"
"That man is evil," Raven said, glaring after Flash.
BB just shrugged. "You're the expert." Raven glared at him. "Ummm…"
Flash dashed down the hall towards his room. There were some weird things going on, that was for sure. Batman allowing Superman to invite the Teen Titans to be part of the Justice League? Shayera not knowing her nickname? It was just…odd. Maybe that bump on the head was making things seem off when they really weren't. He was almost at his room when he noticed J'onn coming out of his room wearing a very nice suit. In fact it looked like something Bruce would wear out of the Batsuit. He whistled.
"Nice suit, Martian Man," he said.
"Thank you."
"Where are you going all dressed up?"
"I am going to meet a friend."
"What's she look like?"
"Go get some sleep, Wally." J'onn took off down the hall, morphing as he walked. Flash shook his head. Even after all this time, it was still eerie to watch. He went into his room and laid down. J'onn had a good idea. He was definitely tired.
