Hello readers! Sorry it's been a little bit since I last updated! I ran into a bit of a writers block but my wonderful boyfriend assisted me in deciding where I wanted this to go so I'm back and as an apology I've written a slightly longer than normal chapter! So please enjoy the story!

Ps. There are some new characters written into this chapter!

"Whoa" Kori whispered looking at the desolate city. It was deteriorating faster than most of the cities they'd been through. It looked as if some large battles had occurred here before or just after the outbreak.

"We should be on alert. I don't like the looks of this" Toni said keeping her eyes peeled for danger.

"Welcome to Keystone City," Melvin read the peeling letters of a sign as they passed "Isn't this where…"

"Yeah, this is where Kid Flash is from" Raven confirmed just as something rammed into the side of the car.

"The noise" Melvin said suddenly very frightened, she'd recently had another nightmare. Raven stepped on the pedal in attempt to outrun whatever it was but they were rammed again.

"Raven, I think that is one of the Flash" Kori whispered as they were slammed into a wall.

"We are going to have to fight it then" Toni said grabbing a cross bow from the back of the car. She then passed Raven and Kori each a weapon. Whatever was outside of the car was clawing desperately trying to get passed the bullet proof armor.

"I'll phase us out, Melvin you stay here, protect the car the best you can, if it gets to dangerous I'll phase you out" Raven told the teen who nodded and picked up a pistol. "If this is Flash, we need to trap him, or else he'll outrun all of our attacks"

"You trap, Kori take care of the remaining normal pests and I'll shot" Toni said, they all nodded and Raven phased them out of the car and behind the deformed remains of Wally West. He still wore his Flash uniform, but it was ripped and bloody, his hair was missing in patches and his skin was littered with deep rotting cuts. He was surrounded by a horde of walkers all desperately trying to get into the armored vehicle. They were brought out of their shock when Flash turned to them, his black eyes boring into them. Raven chanted, her power trapping him into a box. The more intelligent super walker started beating on the walls that encaged him causing Raven to struggle. Kori was busy blasting away the other walkers, alternating between using her powers to blast a whole group and the gun to take care of a few single ones.

"Hurray Toni!" Raven called as the other girl took aim at the distracted walker. One shot to the head found him on the ground twitching.

"Separate his head from his body!" A voice called from the shadows "Quickly!"

"Just do it! He's getting back up!" Kori yelled as Toni joined her in picking apart the other walkers. Raven surrounded the body and head in her powers and ripped them apart, throwing them far from each other.

"That was awesome!" a young boy called as he rushed over from the shadows, he couldn't have been more than eight. His hair was black and he had brown eyes.

"Who are you?" Kori asked looking at him

"Oh! I'm Mikey," He answered with a sheepish smile

"Where's your family kid?" Toni spoke up resting her cross bow on her shoulder as she looked him over. He wasn't even armed! Raven was making sure that Melvin was alright in the car, the two soon joined them.

"Um, good question" He laughed nervously "I sort of got separated from them. But Tay always says that if I get lost to hide and she'll find me before the walkers do! She always does"

"Do you get lost often?" Melvin asked looking at him curiously, he reminded her of her brothers.

"Yeah, I have this real knack for getting distracted. Jack says it's going to get me killed one day but Tay always yells at him for saying stuff like that" Mikey said looking around "Can I stay with you until Tay finds me?"

"Yeah, you can stay with us kid, get in the car you'll be safer there" Toni said shaking her head as Melvin led him into the armored car, pulling out some food for the poor kid and entertaining him with stories.

"MIKEY! MIKEY I SWEAR WHERE ARE YOU!" A young girl appeared her red hair pulled into a French braid. She was about 11 and looked really frustrated. "Man, Tay is going to kill me!"

"Look Rae, another lost kid" Toni said gesturing towards the girl

"If she keeps yelling she's going to attract more of those damn things" Raven sighed as she pushed herself off the car and walked over to the girl. "Hey, stop yelling or you'll attract walkers"

"Sorry, I lost my brother and if I don't find him my sister is going to have my head" The girl said looking at her feet.

"Anny!" Mikey called as he flew out of the car and into her arms "I'm sorry I got distracted"

"Tay is going to kill us both! Mikey you know what kind of danger is out here! I shouldn't have even let you talk me into taking you to the comic book store!" Anny sighed

"Where are you living" Kori asked drawing attention to the car

"You defeated the Flash" Anny said surprised "He's been terrorizing us for a long time, I think we are the only things still alive"

"Yeah, he attacked them and they destroyed him! It was awesome"

"Get in the car, we are going to take you guys home" Raven said with a heavy sigh "It's a wonder you're even still alive"

"Jack says the same thing" Anny giggled "I'm Anny but Tay calls me Princess"

"Where do you live?" Toni repeated Kori's question. Anny gave them quick directions to the fortified shack near the middle of the city.

"Tay and Jack built this for us when things got bad, there used to be a lot of us kids here but one by one they left us to find adults, now it's just the four of us left" Anny whispered leading them inside.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I TOLD YOU NEVER GO ANY WHERE WITHOUT JACK OR I!" The girl that approached them was flaming mad. Quite literally, her red hair that fell about her shoulders had become flames, her green eyes though showed her worry.

"Sorry, Jack was on patrol and you had just started your book, you hadn't had any time to yourself in weeks. I wanted a new comic so I begged Anny to take me. She didn't want to but I said I would go alone. I'm really sorry Tay" Mikey whispered looking down ashamed

"Just don't ever do it again Mikey, it's too dangerous for you to be out alone! What if something had happened to you or Princess?" She said the fire in her hair extinguishing as her anger cooled down. That's when she noticed the four women behind her siblings. "Who have you brought with you?"

"They found Mikey, and they killed the Flash" Anny said with a bright smile. "And they insisted they bring us home"

"Thank you" The girl sighed as another boy joined them. He was about the same height as the girl with brownish black hair and blue eyes. He was obviously younger though. "I'm Taylor, but I really prefer Tiger, and this is Jack"

"I'm Melvin!" Melvin said with a bright smile "That's Raven, Toni and Kori, do you guys live here alone"

"Yeah, there used to be more metahumans but they all decided to leave like morons when the Flash was infected. Now I'm almost certain there is a whole group of super walkers here" Tiger sighed as she hugged herself "I was the closest thing to a Titan here other than Flash, so I tried my best to help"

"It looks like you did well, you can't always control what others decide to do" Raven soothed

"Rae, we can't leave them here" Kori whispered to her placing a hand on her shoulder,

"I know" Raven replied as she nodded before turning back to the siblings. "I can't in good conscious leave you here alone, why don't you guys travel with us, we are heading for Titan's Tower, it is rumored to be a safe haven"

"I had heard that too but we weren't sure how to get there" Jack said looking at his sister

"We'll go" Tiger decided they packed up what belongings they had and loaded into the car, Raven driving with Toni up front, Kori, Melvin and Tiger in the back seat and the three younger kids in the back of the SUV. Raven sped as quickly as she could out of the cursed city.

"So Gar, if you don't mind me asking, why are you heading towards the tower?" Ron asked looking over at him. They had been wondering the streets for days now. Most of the time they walked in silence but today seemed like a good day to discover.

"I don't know why I didn't before" Gar said as he shrugged, "Maybe my friends made their ways there too. It would make sense to go back home"

"Home?" Ron asked looking at him confused

"I thought it was obvious" Gar chuckled "I used to be a Titan; it seems like a life time ago"

"I wasn't sure, I mean, I'm sure there are plenty of green skinned guys walking around." Ron said simply "Is that why you named him Titan?"

"No, it was just the first thing I thought of really. He just needed a name" Gar said smirking at the dog "Why don't we stop for the night, we can sleep in these cars, it smells like rain tonight"

"Good plan, want some jerky?" Ron asked pulling a baggie out of his bag. Gar smiled and took some of the offered jerky, feeding bits to Titan who was curled up in the floor board of the car they'd broken into and cleared of walkers. Ron was lying across the back seat and Gar was sitting in the driver's seat. "You sure you'll be comfortable there?"

"Yeah!" Gar said as he transformed into a snake and wound himself up in the front seat.

"After our current conversation I don't know how I didn't put two and two together" Ron laughed at himself as he settled down, the sound of rain beating down on the car's roof lulling him into sleep. "Night all"

Well there you are! We are one step closer to getting to the west coast! Hopefully in the next two chapters or so one of our groups will finally make it to the Titan's tower! Please leave your thoughts with me and any character suggestions you have! They might not get large roles but I need plenty of people for later chapters!

Thanks
