Chloe, Ollie and Bart sat in the small plane feeling uncomfortably close to one another. "Remind me again why someone as rich as you has a plane this small?" Bart asked trying to move further away from Ollie's lap and wished he could move closer to Chloe, who had wisely chosen to sit on the other side of Ollie.
"It's inconspicuous, silent and shut up, otherwise I am going to hit you." Ollie was loosing patience with the boy. Ever since they had seen the plane Bart had complained about the size. This plane was Ollie's "baby" everything about it was beautiful, in Ollie's mind anyway.
"Jeez calm down, I was just making light of the situation." He sighed and looked out of the window.
"He just doesn't like having this little control over a situation." Chloe explained, to Ollie's annoyance. It was true but he was also worried about Bart. He was always trying to keep Bart from getting hurt, this mission it might not be so easy to keep him safe.
"Hey, where's Arthur and Victor?" Chloe inquired, perfectly comfy.
"Victor is meeting us when we drop of Bart, Arthur is coming by water." Ollie smiled to himself and Bart chuckled.
Silence fell over the trio. They all knew it would take forever to land at the Himalayas, so Bart took his chance to go back to sleep. His light snoring signalled Chloe to start an argument, "Why do you do that?" Chloe asked, angrily.
"What?"
"Act like I don't know what the team can do. I am fully aware that Arthur is Aquaman and Victor is Cyborg." She crossed her arms and looked out of the window, Why does he have to treat me like an idiot?
"Sorry, I forget." Ollie shrugged, slightly embarrassed.
"Whatever it is I'll listen but you realise I'll never trust you again."
Just like Cain and Abel,
you pulled a sneak attack
"I know, but I'd rather that than your death. This afternoon you are meant to die, you die before your time. All the prophecy's said you would be killed by Doomsday, then Cobalt Blue used the speed force to come back to kill everything I lo-value. Including you. He steals your powers and kills you. I couldn't allow it to happen again. I mean, it was my fault that he came back the first time."
"Bart! What happened? Who is, Cobalt Blue?"
Bart sighed, "Cobalt Blue is my grandfather, Barry Allen's, brother, Malcolm Thawne. Blue wanted me to join him in his fight against my grandfather, when I was Impulse. I refused, many times, so he decided that he had to get rid of me and the best way to do that is to kill everyone I value then kill me."
I thought that we were brothers
Then you stabbed me in the back.
"What do you mean 'when you were Impulse?'"
"Oh, my knee was smashed in by a bullet, shot by Deathstroke, when I was in the Teen Titans. I read every book in the San Francisco library and well I'm now, Kid Flash. I tried to fight Cobalt Blue when he killed you but I failed miserably. Now I think I could take him." There was a small smile on Bart's lips.
Betrayed!
Oh boy, I'm so betrayed!
"So what, he's like you?"
Like Samson and Delilah
Your love began to fade
Bart's face became dark with anger, "He has no real power, he steals other peoples."
Betrayed!
Lets face it, I'm betrayed!
"Sorry, I didn't know. So why is he after me?" Clark told him defensively.
Boy have I been taken
Oy, I'm so forsaken
"I talked to him about you, not anything like what your powers are, but enough to know that you're my friend. I should have known what came to pass. I should have known to watch my ass!" He cried and shook his head as he realised the last two lines rhymed.
"And he's after your grandparents because?"
"Malcolm Thawne, Cobalt Blue, was the twin brother of Barry Allen, my grandfather. The doctor that delivered the twins had already accidentally killed a separate child that belonged to Charlene Thawne. To cover the mistake, he gave Malcolm to the Thawnes and told the Allens that one of the twins had been stillborn. Well, ever since he found out he's wanted to kill my granddad so that he could have some kind of revenge." Bart sighed.
I feel like Othello
Everything is lost
Malcolm is Iago
Barry is double crossed.
"You know the Justice League is coming to find me, right?" Clark asked concerned.
I'm so dismayed
Did I mention I'm betrayed?
"I know. Let them come, it'll be nice to see them again." Bart replied, sadly.
Now I'm about to go to jail
There' no one who will pay my bail
I have no one I can cry to
No one I can say goodbye to.
The hours passed by slowly. It was starting to get dark again, "Is Bart still alive?" Came a surprisingly low voice, Chloe coughed and blushed, "Sorry haven't talked for over two hours."
"I think so, he's still breathing." Ollie laughed, his voice was more husky than usual and made Chloe smile, he sounded even more attractive.
"Fifteen hours of sleep? I don't think I've known him to sleep that long, ever."
"Me neither, but he obviously needs it. Think of how many days he was running for." Ollie explained, kindly. Chloe nodded and tried to get comfy in her seat so she could take Bart's lead. Ollie could feel his eyes growing heavy.
"We need to stop soon other wise your going to kill us all." Chloe said, only half joking.
"We are almost at the meeting point, then Vic can take over."
Ollie sighed uncomfortably. His back was aching and he needed some sleep, badly. The next ten minutes were… stressful for Chloe, every dip and jump Ollie made, made her more nervous.
When Ollie saw Victor his heart rose. Finally. Once he landed the craft he changed into his Green Arrow costume while Victor woke up the sleeping Bart. When Bart did finally awaken he also changed into his uniform. Arthur soon appeared and Ollie settled down for a sleep. Bart laughed at him and got ready to leave, "Hey, kid?"
Bart turned to a very tired Ollie, "What?"
"If we phone, you pick up. First time. No mucking about, find Clark, phone us and we'll come and find you. Keep us updated on how angry you are, I mean he is… you know what I mean." Ollie then turned over and Bart heard a soft snore, shook his head and left.
Hope you enjoyed!
The song is "Betrayed" from the musical "The Producers" if you haven't heard it look it up, it's very good. I know I changed bits and took out bits but otherwise it wouldn't fit.
Tell me what you think. :D
