Fights Above, Below and Somewhere Else
A/N: I thought the quailty of last chapter was a bit...pathetic but I've tried to keep this one good. This one was rushed and I do have another version so if you don't like this, I have another one to take its place.
Three monsters in front, two in back and only one drawn arrow. Green Arrow grimaced at the odds he faced: whichever side he attacks, the other will strike when he's occupied. Green Arrow, realizing that the monsters had no interest in Black Canary, knew he had to escape. Scanning the room, he noticed a chute.
Green Arrow saw his chance of escape. Those chutes led down into a laundry room of sorts and hopefully the chute would be wide enough for him.
"Sorry, but I can't stick around long," Green Arrow told his enemies as he launched his arrow at the chute's entrance, leaving a large hole in the wall. Breaking into a sprint, Green Arrow dove into the chute but something stopped him from getting in fully. Green Arrow saw thatone of the leeches had grabbed his ankle, which felt painful from the powerful grip. Drawing an arrow, the head transformed into a prong crackling with electricity. "Get off!" Green Arrow said beforehe slammed the weapon right into the monster's face.
Screaming in agony, the creature let go of Green Arrow's ankle and he began sliding down the chute. Sighing with relief, Green Arrow suddenly felt himself fall into a pile of clothes. Emerging from the clothes, he jumped out of the container and headed out the door.
"Green Arrow!" a voice called from above. Green Arrow looked up to see J'onn appear from the ceiling in his intangible form. Becoming solid, he told his comrade, "I need you to come with me."

"Batman!" called J'onn telepatichally.
"What?" Batman thought back as the pounding on the walls became harder.
"Meet meat the Channeling Chamber," J'onn said, who was taking an elevator down to the bottom chambers with Green Arrow. "We're going to try to keep the leeches trapped here so that they don't get back on Earth," J'onn explained.
"Understood. You start the process and we'll meet you there as fast as we can," Batman said just as the leeches broke through the walls. Drawing two bat-a-rangs, long hidden blades emerging from the edges. Using all the skill he had from his training in sword fighting, he moved in swift motions, slicing through the leech enemies. "We have to get down to the Channeling Chamber," Batman said as he struck down one of the monster's with his blade.
"Why?" Diana asked as she blocked several blasts of ice with her bracelets, some of which that ricocheted back into several of the attackers.
"Just go!" Batman ordered, ducking a heat vision blast that nearly blew off one of his cowl's ears.
"I'll clear a path," Flash said before making his move. He moved in a blur, knocking down many of the leeches, leaving a clear opening for the others. Batman, jumping over the recovering leechs, headed the same way Flash did while Diana stayed behind for a moment. She gripped a large portion of the wall and pulled it out, revealing many wires and tubes. Letting out a war cry, she threw the chunk of titanium that knocked back her enemies.
Dusting her hands with a smug smile, she went after her fellow members.

Captain Marvel and the original leech met in mid-air, trading powerful blows to each other that sent out powerful shockwaves. Punch after punch, kick after kick, neither would back down.The others stared in awe as the two fighterstook and gave blows that only so few couldhandle.After the two shared a titantic trade of attacks, Captain Marvel kneed the leech in the stomach, grabbed it by the neck and then threw it into a building.
"Nice," Green Lantern whispered in awe, staring at the rubble. "But that's not gonna keep him down for long," Green Lantern finished with a more professional tone.
"How hard is it to beat him?" Captain Marvel asked, just waiting for something to emerge from the building.
"We've been trying for a hour and a half, but nothing's working."
"That has to..." Captain Marvel didn't get the oppurtunity to continue as the leech, with almost unparrelled speed, shot at the two, striking Green Lantern with a powerful punch before drop kicking a surprised Captain Marvel and send him straight into the ground.
"Hey ugly!" Steel shouted out as he and Supergirl flew at the creature. Supergirl took the first move, trying to jab her enemy but failed miserably as it easily moved out of the way. The leech then avoided Steel's swinging hammer, grabbed it and with Steel still holding onto it, threw it straight into Supergirl, who both let out a cry of pain. Just as the leech attacked, it recieved it's own in the form of nuclear energy. The creature guarded fiercly against the powerful attack as it saw Captain Atom on the ground, struggling to keep his current output of energy.
Captain Atom, who was shocked as the creature began moving towards him even through his powerful attack. Captain Atom let out more energy, the size of his nuclear powered beam growing larger. The creature, who was already pushing against the attack, had already gotten to ground level and Captain Atom let out all the energy he could. The attempts were futile as the creature reached out its hands ang grabbed Captain Atom's face, its mouth opening wide.

Shayera and Dr. Fate emerged from a red portal, stepping onto a rocky platform. Shayera and Dr. Fate observed the dark sky and the abandoned building that was before them.
"This is the place?" Shayera asked, looking at the abandoned two story building before her. It was shabby, almost all the windows broken and boarded up.
"Yes, hopefully the creator of the monster is in there," Dr. Fate said as he stepped down from the platfrom and toward the building. Shayera quickly followed as Dr. Fate entered the building, the door falling apart as he touched it. The two entered quickly, unable to see in the dark room.
"I'll handle this," Shayera said, holding up her mace as began crackling with energy. It created a powerful light, enabling thetwo to see up within the light's radius. The two walked carefully, weaving between tables with seemingly abandoned inventions, advanced ones at that. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Shayera called out into the darkness. The only answer that came was a laser blast flying straight at Shayera's head.
