Chapter 49: Back to the Beginning

TIME JUMP: TEN YEARS BACKWARDS

Location: Watchtower-Conference Room #1

Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Lantern all opened their eyes and found themselves in the conference room.

"Please, tell me none of that just happened," Diana said after a few moments.

"I believe it did," Martian Manhunter said, catching the entire story from their minds.

"J'onn," Diana said, hugging him.

"So we're back," John asked.

"It would appear so" Superman said.

"If that all happened, where is Bruce, Wally, and Shayera-" Diana didn't get to finish her sentence because the Flash and Batman entered the room.

"I'm not late, because I'm with Batman; and Batman is never late," Flash said, zooming over to his chair.

"Wally," Diana said, hugging the speedster.

"Uh...Did something bad happen, 'cause she never hugs me. Not that I'm complaining. I like the hugging," Flash said, looking over Diana's shoulder.

"I'm-I'm just happy to see you," Diana said, letting go of Flash.

"Yeah, Wally, you're a site for sore eyes," John said, clasping Flash's shoulder.

"You saw me last night...Remember? Giant alien squid crushing downtown Memphis…Lantern, we went for ribs after," Wally said, giving them a confused look.

"Yeah, we remember," Superman said, watching Wally get up and zoom around the room. 'He can walk...We can change everything.'

"You guys are acting weird...like twilight zone weird," Flash said.

"It's just been a long morning Flash," John said.

"You know what...I can't stay for the meeting... so I gotta leave now, 'cause you are acting crazy...And it's scaring me," Wally said, before speeding out of the room.

"What happened," Batman asked, looking at them, a few moments after Flash left.

"Nothing," John said.

"Liar," Batman said.

"How am I lying," John asked.

"Three reason," Batman said, " One, you all looked at me and Flash like you hadn't seen us in years; two, Dianna doesn't hug."

"And what's three," Clark asked.

"John has a cut on his forehead that's bleeding," Batman said, turning and walking out of the room.

Location: Watchtower-Upper Deck 9-Hallway

Shayera was walking down the hall corridor when Flash stopped in front of her.

"Hey cookie," Flash said, smiling at Shayera.

"Didn't I tell you that if you called me that, you'd be the fastest man alive with a limp," Shayera said.

"You know you love my little nicknames," Flask said.

"Like a flesh eating parasite," Shayera said, with a smile.

"Mean," Flash said, pouting.

"What do you want? Aren't you suppose to be in a meeting or something," Shayera said.

"I left...they were scaring me," Flash said.

"Why? What's going on," Shayera asked, worried.

"Nothing...They are acting very weird," Flash said, and Shayera relaxed slightly.

"How," Shayera asked, confused.

"I was hugged and not yelled at," Flash said and then whispered, "They might be possessed again."

"You're over reacting," Shayera said, shacking her head.

"Fine, don't believe me, but when someone has to go running though space because the mind-possessed heroes caused another one of those black spots thingy on the sun. I'm going to spend a week just saying 'I told you so', 'I informed you thusly', 'I-" Flash said.

"Don't you have a town to save or a villain to chase," Shayera said, walking away.

"Just you wait and see Shy...Something weird is going on," Flash said, as Shayera rounded the corner.

Location: Watchtower-Lower Deck 12-Hallway

Mari had just finished up a photo shot in Malawi and was back on the Watchtower, heading toward her room; when she saw John coming down the hallway.

"Hey, baby, miss me," Mari asked, walked up to John and wrapping her arms around his neck and tried going for a kiss but John pulled back.

"Have you seen Shayera," John asked.

"John, are you trying to get a fight? I just said hello to you and tried to kiss you, but you pushed me away and want your ex...And since when do you call her that? It's always been Hawkgirl," Mari said, putting her hands on her hips.

"Sorry, but something came up," John said.

"What did she start another invasion," Mari joked, looking at her nails.

"Not funny, Mari," John said, his tone causing Mari to look at him. That's when she noticed a cut on his forehead.

"What happened," Mari said, raising her hand up to touch it.

"Nothing...I'm fine...have you seen Shayera?" John asked again.

"I think she was heading toward the practice area," Mari said.

"Thanks," John said, and then tapped his earpiece, "She's at the practice area." And then he hurried down the hall.

"Your welcome," Mari mumbled, crossing her arms.
