October 1

Gateway City

It's been a few days since my talk with Nash. Most of it was me yelling at him how stupid he is, and what an idion he could be.

On the bright side, he did agree with me that he was being a bit... rash when he agreed to work with Sinestro because of his mother.

That's when we also started disagreeing. He kept telling me that he has to finish his training with Sinestro, and thus be working with the yellow lantern fear ring, so that he can find his mother. I disagreed because there is an easier way to find his mother! Ask his father.

He stormed out.

So here I am, minding my own business, when the phone rings.

I stand up from the couch, and answer the plain black phone on the kitchen counter.

"Prince Residence," I answer, but the phone still rings.

'The Justice League phone?' I think. 'But Diana isn't here…'

I reach around the table, and pick up the secret phone.

"Wonderbat speaking," I answer.

"Cave. Now," Batman's voice orders. "Code Red."

"On my way," I answer, now in battle mode.

I hang up the phone, and move to the center of the room.

I make sure I have space, then I begin to twirl.

My Wonderbat uniform graces my figure, and my lasso circles around my waist.

I slow down, and open the kitchen window.

'This better be good…' I think as I make my way down to the telephone box.

"Recognized: Wonderbat- B-00."


Mount Justice

6:13 P.M

"Addie, you're late," Artemis calls as I enter the cave to see the holo-screens turn to snow.

"Takes a few to get from California to Rhode Island," I defend. "Give me a break."

"Dude," Wally says, looking to Robin for answers.

"It's not me!" He states. "Someone's cutting into the satellite signal. All satellite signals!"

A large, white face appears on the screen. He is wearing dark red lips, a purple overcoat, and he has green hair.

"Great Hera! What is that!?" I scream in surprise.

"Joker…" Batman growls.

He knocks on the screen a few times.

"Ladies and Gentlemen," Joker begins. "We interrupt your regularly scheduled mayhem to bring you this important announcement-" He flips open a switchblade.

"-from the Injustice League," He cackles.

The screen pans to show a full image of Poison Ivy, Ultra-Humanite, Atomic Skull, Count Vertigo, Black Atom, and Wotan.

I gasp when I see the full figure of Sinestro on the screen.

"We are responsible for the attacks on your cities," Count Vertigo begins. "If you wish to save them, a ransom of ten billion American dollars is required. Delivery instructions have been sent to the United Nations. There is no time limit. But, the longer your governments wait…"

The camera is grabbed by the Joker to see his face again.

"-The more we get our jollies!" Joker cackles as the screen turns back to snow.

"Roger that, Aquaman. The U.N will prepare the ransom as a fallback, but it won't come to that," Batman says, rewinding the video.

"Count Vertigo, The Joker, Poison Ivy, Ultra-Humanite, Atomic Skull, Black Atom, Wotan, Sinestro. Eight heavy hitters. Probably behind everyone and everything we've faced," Robin notes.

"There's your secret society," Wally says.

"Not so secret anymore," Artemis says.

"Perhaps after India they realized we would deduce the truth, and saw no point in hiding any longer," Kaldur says.

"Yeah? That was their mistake. Right now I say we go kick some plant creature butt!" Wally says, obviously ready to go.

"The Justice League will handle the plants. I have a different job for this team," Batman says.

"Oh, man," Wally pouts as Artemis elbows him in the ribs.

"With the plants attacking so many locations simultaneously, there must be a central control system. Your mission is to destroy it," Batman says.

"Are you sure?" I ask him.

"You realize what you're really asking them to do," Zatara asks Batman.

"They're ready," Batman says.

"Ready? Ready for what? Ow! Will you cut that-" Wally complains at Artemis.

"Hello, Wally! If the big guns are fighting plants, who do you think we'll be fighting?" Artemis deadpans.

"I don't know. I guess we'll-" She points at the screen. "Ohh…"

"Well, Batman, I trust you're correct.

"I trust you can locate the enemy.

"Indeed. Wotan's informants suggest sorcery is part of how the plants are controlled. Robin, if you will provide a holo-map, I'll search for signs of concentrated sorcerous activity." Zatara chants a spell, locating the coordinates of the Injustice League. "Etecol retnecipe fo yrecros! There. That is where you will find the Injustice League's central control system."

"Coordinates locked in. The Louisiana bayou,"

"We are on our way," Aqualad says.

"Back to the Bayou," Nash jokes.


Louisiana

6:52

The Bioship is heavy with silence.

I suppose we are all trying to prepare ourselves to fight the bad guys. The real bad guys.

"What's in the duffel?" Kid Flash asks Aqualad, eating a protein bar.

"Plan: B," Aqualad answers.

"Addie," Nash whispers. "Don't worry."

"I don't worry for me, Nash," I state.

"You think because Sinestro's there, that I'm gonna-"

"You better not," I growl."If you do what I think you might do for him, I will no longer be able to help you. We will no longer be allies, and everything that I've ever felt-"

"You felt something?" Nash asks, noticing my slip up.

"How can I not?" I ask him with pleading eyes. "Please don't do it."

"You all right?" I hear Superboy ask Miss. Martian.

"Dizzy," She answers.

"Martians get airsick?" Robin wonders, counting his Bird-arangs.

"She does look a bit greener than usual," Wally notices.

"Not me, her," M'gann says.

"I feel fine," Artemis says.

"Me too," I state once everyone shifts their gazes to me.

"Not her, the Bioship. She's trying to shield us, but-"

The Bioship decides to go haywire, and begins to fly all over the place, making me sick.

"Addie!" Nash yells.

There is a large 'BOOM!' heard (and felt) from beneath the Bioship.

We start flipping, and skidding off of the bayou waters, effectively making me sicker.

Suddenly, we slam into a stop.

I hear everyone groan.

"Robin!" I yell. "Are you okay?"

"Just dandy," he moans.

We jerk forwards again. This time, large vines have wrapped around the Bioship, taking us underwater.

A tearing is heard from the roof of the Bioship. A hole is torn open, showing Black Atom's ugly face.

"He's hurting her!" Miss.M yells, holding her head.

Superboy is quick to act, socking Atom in the face.

But Atom was blocking the water, so as soon as Superboy knocks him away, a flood of bayou water comes water-falling in.

"No. No way I'm nearly drowning three missions in a row!" Artemis says, taking out a re-breather, and handing one to K.F

"Wow. Uh, thanks," he says, taking the device slowly.

"M'gann, we need to get out. Open a hatch," Superboy says.

"Hello, M'gann. Of course," She laughs, giving herself gills, and swimming down to open the bioship.

I hold my breath and dive under.

"Out. Everyone out!" Aqualad orders.

"Bit of an issue!" Lantern's voice replies.

I whip my head around to see that Nash is stuck in the seat. The seatbelt is stuck.

"I got him!" I yell. "Go!"

I swim over to Nash, and rip his seatbelt off.

'Sorry, Bioship! This might hurt…'

Right as I rip off the belt, I grab Nash's arm, and use my flying under the water to zip through the hatch at the bottom.

We emerge from the surface with a loud gasp.

"Good thing I've got you to constantly save my tail," K.L pants with a smile.

I punch him in the arm.

"Scare me like that again! See what happens!" I yell at him as he holds his arm.

"Yeah, yeah, thanks and all that jazz," He smiles.

"She's in shock. She'll need time to recover," Miss.M says looking at the sinking Bioship through the foliage.

"Ahhh," I hollar, falling to my knees as a sudden wave of nausea hits me.

"Vertigo," K.F groans as said person steps out from the bushes behind us.

"Count Vertigo to you, peasant," He spits.

I see Superboy launch himself at Vertigo, only to be thrown down, and knocked out by Black Atom.

Aqualad stands, unsheathes his Water-bearers, and begins to fight back with his power.

"Robin, Miss Martian, Wonderbat disappear!" Aqualad yells.

"Bit of a problem there, Kal…" I groan feeling myself getting ready to puke.

"Get up. We will keep them busy. You three, fulfill the mission objective," Kaldur orders, as I attempt to stand.

"I'll get her," Robin announces, taking me up into the trees before anyone could notice.

Even I didn't notice. And I'm the one he lifted.

I look down at the scene, until Robin grabs my arm and pulls me away.

I don't see behind us, but I feel here presence as we walk through the mud.

"I've lost contact with Aqualad and the others. Should we-" Miss.M begins.

"Sorry, that's not the gig," Robin interrupts as we approach the red dot on his hand held move the foliage around to see a dome like structure with a large plant-think coming out of the top. "This is. The Injustice League central control system. Looks like that plant is acting as an antenna to control the other plants worldwide."

'Hey...this looks like the one back in the rain forest… when I was helping Haneul-' I begin to think.

"Well, hello!" Poison Ivy's voice says from behind us. My initial reaction is to fly up and away, but with how nauseated I am, I could barely lift my arms. "And good-bye."

Ultra-Humanite appears from behind her, and aims to shoot at us while we are wrapped up in Ivy's vines.

Miss.M uses her telepathy to make him miss his mark, and shoot at the vines holding us instead.

I fly at the Ultra-Humanite , hitting away the 'bullets' with my cuffs.

"Sorry, Boy Wonder. I'm putting an end to your little... reconnaissance mission," Ivy says, lifting her arms in attack.

Robin flips over, and slides on her vines, flipping up onto a branch with practiced ease.

I let out an Amazonian war cry as I charge at the monkey like creature, and I throw the weight in my leg around to kick him in the face, then twist myself around to deck him in the teeth.

"Robin, she's made contact." Miss.M announces as she explodes the vines attacking Robin.

"Artemis?" He asks.

"No," Miss.M answers, seeing a large glowing cage float towards the base, surrounded by Vertigo, Black Atom, Wotan, and Sinestro.

Moments later, the Glorious Bioship flies over, and knocks out Wotan.

The glowing cage disappears, and everyone braces for impact.

"I hate monkeys," I hear Superboy growl as he and Wolf are faced with Ultra-Humanite.

Aqualad and Artemis are faced with Poison Ivy.

Normally, I wouldn't worry about them, but normally they have weapons to defend themselves with.

"I feel naked. And not in a fun way," Artemis quipps after noticing what I have.

"We will make our own fun, as we have been trained," Aqualad says. "Maneuver 7."

Artemis runs at him, jumps in his folded hands, then he throws her up, and at Poison Ivy, who gets a good kick in the face.

"Where are Robin and the Martian?" I hear Vertigo ask Black Atom.

"Aww, You forgot about me!" I whine, revealing myself.

I untie my lasso from my waist, and throw it around Vertigo.

"You think that I'm hiding plans?" He asks, as if I didn't know what I'm doing with my lasso.

"Not quite," I smirk.

I use my strength to throw the Count into Atom, who was getting ready to pounce on me.

I then begin to twirl him around on my lasso, using my momentum to toss him into the bayou.

"What'd we learn?" I ask him, not expecting him to answer me.

"My baby!" Ivy gasps, seeing her plant thing lit up with Robin's exploding Bird-arangs.

With three large explosions, the plant explodes, Robin and Miss.M standing on the top of the base.

"Timber," Robin deadpans.

Ivy, in a fit of rage, commands her vines to attack Robin and Miss.M, but Miss.M uses her Telepathy to shatter her vines.

Moments later, a laser gun is shot at the two.

They move out of the way to reveal the Joker, Atomic Skull, and Sinestro.

"Children? Children foiled our plan? Inconceivable. Unacceptable. Retributionable! That last one might not be a word. So sue me," Joker rants.

"Kill them. Kill them all," Count Vertigo demands.

I look around to try and find Nash.

"Have you told them yet, boy?" Sinestro asks Nash, as they fight with their rings.

"That you're no good, and that I'm gonna beat your sorry butt back to Oa? You bet I have!" Kid Lantern spits back, making a mace with his ring.

Sinestro returns with a large shield, and a blaster.

"I see you have brought the girl!" Sinestro states, looking at me. "You're right, she is quite… ravishing…"

"Stay away from her!" Nash yells, attacking Sinestro with a strange looking sword.

"Enough!" Wotan yells, shooting everyone down with lightning.

"ROBIN!" I yell, seeing him get thrown down by the force of the lightning.

'He might be a ninja, but he's still human!' I yell in my head. 'And I'll be the first to admit that this is painful!'

"The helmet of Fate," Wotan states in awe as the electricity stops.

We all look over to see Kaldur holding the Helmet of Fate just above his head.

"No, Aqualad, don't-" Wally tries to stop him, only to be barrel rushed by Atom.

"Kaldur! No!" I yell reaching out for him, but it's no use.

With a bright golden light, Kaldur'ahm, becomes Doctor Fate.

"Wotan, you are mine," Dr. Fate states, flying up to Wotan in the sky.

"Wonderboy, you are mine. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!" Joker says, mocking Fate. He slashes at Robin with switchblades, but Robin skillfully dodges them. "Always wanted to carve this bird."

"Get away from my brother!" I yell, flying down to the Joker, hitting him with full force.

"Ha ha ha!" He laughs as I tackle him. "I didn't know that good ol' Batty had another birdie!"

"I've come to realize that you don't know a lot of things!" I hollar, beating him with my cuffs, rolling in the bayou, kicking and scratching him. "Touch him again and I'll be your end!"

He laughs again. "Wanna know how I got these scars?" He mocks.

"What? Eating paper? *punch* Fishing accident? *punch* Messing with my brother?! *punch*" I ask, not at all interested in the story.

"I can defeat you, and I will!" Wotan yells at Fate.

"Not tonight, Wotan," Zatara says, appearing from the sky with Batman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Green Lantern: Gardner, Captain's Marvel and Atom, Superman, and the Hawks.

Batman throws a Batarang at the Joker (he got up while I was distracted.) as they all land in a circle around the Injustice League.

"It's over," Batman growls at the villains from next to me.

"There will be another day," Vertigo gives in, holding his hands up in surrender.

"Another day? Another day! There won't be another day! Not for any of us," Joker growls, raising his hands in the air, moving the plant carcasses up, and making them release spores into the air.

"Joker venom spores! Don't breathe!" Batman yells, punching the Joker down.

Moments later, he shoves re-breathers in Robin and I's mouths, then covers us with his cape.

'What is he doing?' I wonder. 'I thought he-'

"Fear not. Fate has intervened!" I hear announce after he sucked all of the spores into his ankh.

Batman releases us from under his cape, and I take out my re-breather.

I look up at him, and notice that he doesn't have one.

'Did he just-?' I begin to wonder. 'It's been a long day…'


"What were you thinking? How could you let him put on the helmet? Nabu will never release him now. Kaldur will be trapped inside Dr. Fate forever," Wally rants sadly.

Fate stares at us for a moment, then he lifts the helmet off of Kaldur's head freeing him.

"Nabu let you go?" Wally asks in disbelief.

"He almost did not, but your friend Kent was most helpful," Kaldur smiles. "He says hello."

"We're done here," Batman announces from behind us. "The super villain secret society has been neutralized. As for your performance... it was satisfactory."

"That's Batman for: we did awesome!" Nash cheers, throwing his arm around my waist, and the other one he throws in the air.

Batman glares at him in warning.

Nash notices, and removes his body from my vicinity.

I smirk, and place my fists on my waist, cocking my hip to the side.


October 2

2:45 A.M

I arrive home to Diana's apartment.

She said that she'd have to stay late at the Watchtower for a while to make a report on the Plant-things.

I shut the window behind me, and let out a sigh of exhaustion. I close the beige curtains, and turn on the lights in the kitchen.

I rummage through the fridge to find a soda, or something fizzy.

I pop open a Coke, make my way around the bar into the front room, throw myself down onto the couch, and let out a deep, relaxing sigh.

I take a large swig from my drink, then lean my head back onto the back of the couch.

I feel my head naturally move to the side of my face, and I close my eyes.

'Today has been way. Too. Long,' I deduct, opening my eyes slightly to take another swig of Coke.

Through my tired, blurry vision, I see a red shimmer next to me on the couch, but I ignore it and close my eyes again.

'We don't own anything red and shimmery, Addie…' My subconscious warns me.

My eyes snap open, and I take a fighting stance on the couch.

"Calm yourself…" Haneul's heavily accented voice says. "It's just me…"

My shoulders relax again.

"Yeah? Well 'just you' got me in trouble last time we met in Gateway City," I say, sitting back down on the couch, turning the lamp on.

I look at Haneul, and I see that he has scratches all over his face, bruises on his chest, neck, and jaw, and blood running down his forehead, arms, and soaking through his shirt.

"Haneul!" I yell, setting my drink down on the table, moving over him. "What happened?"

"I tried to find it alone…" He says.

'His cure…' I think in my head.

"Idion! You were supposed to tell me when you were going to go find it!" I yell at him. "For obvious reasons, you shouldn't go alone!"

"Don't pretend like you weren't busy," He tries to joke.

"Then wait for me! Don't go by yourself! What attacked you anyways?! A land shark? Tiger? Dragon?!" I yell, examining his wounds.

"My half-brother…" He answers, moving away from my hands on his face, grimacing.

"Klarion?" I ask.

He nods.

"...Brat…" I curse. "I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" He asks.

"To get the med-kit," I answer, walking into the bathroom.

"You don't have to-"

"That's great!" I interrupt. "You come to my house? You are going to accept my hospitality whether you like it or not!"

"Stranger, and stranger…" I hear him say as I grab the med-kit from under the sink in the bathroom.

"How do you even know where I live?" I ask as I sit back down on the couch, and open the kit, pulling out a needle, and some stitches.

"What do you think you're doing with that!?" He yells at me.

"Helping you. Now shirt. Off. Now," I order.

He glances up at me with his glowing, electric blue eyes, through his bright red hair.

"No way in the world are you coming near me with that," He says.

"We can do this the easy way, the hard way, or my way," I offer. "And trust me, you won't like my way."

He glares at me, then sighs. He reaches back to take his jacket off, laying in a crumpled heap on the couch, then, he removes his shirt, revealing a large gash going from the top of his collarbone, ending about five inches above his waistline.

My eyes widen in shock.

"Are you sure you weren't attacked by a Tiger?" I ask.

"Pretty sure Tiger's don't have a cat familiar to keep them in this dimension," He sasses, laying on his back on the couch.

I place the thread through the needle.

"This might hurt a bit, but here," I hand him a clean towel.

"What am I supposed to do with this?" He asks.

"You bite it," I say. "Now hold still…"

The needle pierces his skin, and I feel him tense up, and he bites down on the towel with a muffled groan.

"Sorry…" I apologize. "I know it doesn't feel good."

"Talk to me," He says.

"What?" I ask.

"Distract me from the pain," He says. "Talk to me."

"Uhherrr… how about that weather?" I begin, not quite sure of what to talk about.

"How about your Lantern?" Haneul changes.

"Oh, my Lantern?" I ask. "That's quite presumptuous."

"You two are together are you not?" He strains as I pierce his tanned, toned skin again.

"Not in the way you might think," I say. "And what about him?"

"Isn't he working for Sinestro?" He asks.

"Again," I say as another stitch goes in. "Not in the way that you might think."

"Ahh… so I am to assume that you know why, and you approve?" He asks.

"No," I answer. "Yes, I know why, but no. I don't approve," Another stitch. "But who am I to say what he's allowed to do with his life?"

"So if you could, you wouldn't take him back to the side of good?" Haneul asks.

"Of course I would," I say as another stitch goes in. "But that would be me being selfish. It's what I'd want. Not him."

He stares at me for a while, then smiles shaking his head.

"What? Is the thought of wanting someone to make their own choices, so ridiculous?" I ask him.

"No, no," He says. "It's not that. It's just… you surprise me every time we meet, Princess."

"I hope that's a good thing," I joke, placing in another stitch.

"Trust me," Haneul says. "It is."


People of the Multi-Verses!

Sorry this is a day late. I won't lie. I got lazy.

.L: Oh, hun. I don't mind the questions! And I have not seen Batman V.S Superman yet, but I'm pretty sure Batman wins, and DC is just trying to catch up to Marvel in one movie. Sorry, I do like Marvel Movies better than DC movies. DC's T.V shows are life though. However, you can't be a level 2 and go up against a level 9000.

No other questions?

WHAAAAAATTTT? O_o
