"What do you mean he's dead?!" Oliver screamed at Clark. The Justice League were in a meeting and discussing the problem at Belle Reve.

"The warden says that he died 2 months ago from a sudden heart attack." Batman explained.

"Do they know how?" Hal asked.

"From months of cobra venom abuse. He took so much of it that his heart couldn't function without it." Flash answered.

"We're screwed." John said sitting on the floor.

"So what do we do now, Bruce?" Clark asked.

Bruce turned to him and cracked him right in the jaw. Clark fell to the ground and groaned as he was kicked in the ribs. Batman picked him up by the collar and looked him right in the eye. Clark looked down and saw the green rock in Bruce's hand.

"Listen Kent and listen good. You may be Superman, but if you think your little powers make you a man, then you're dead wrong. I've met your mother. She taught you better than this. Conner is your son and you better embrace it. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes."

"And if you ever, ever mock me about my parents' deaths again, I'll feed you to the bats. Do you understand?"

Clark was scared for his life. He just nodded quickly.

"And that goes for the rest of you too."

The other Leaguers were shaking and in Flash's case vibrating with fear. They all nodded quickly and Bruce gave the boy scout a good kick below the belt. Clark curled in a ball and was shaking on the floor. Batman left and everyone was speechless. Diana was brave enough to get up and go after him. She went out the door and saw him in the Watchtower garden. Wonder woman flew over and sat down next to him.

"My mother used to plant these everyday." Bruce said holding up a white rose.

"They're beautiful."

"She said they were the definition of pure innocence."

Bruce took the flower and put it in Diana's hair.

"The flower of pure innocence for the woman of pure beauty."

She blushed and wrapped her arms around him.

"Are you going to be ok Bruce?"

"I have to find Robin."

"We will. We'll find him and the others."

"I hope so princess."

Aquaman came out and the two turned to him. He looked grim.

"We have another call."

The 3 went back to the conference room and were greeted with Adam's not so pleasant face.

"There they are. I was wondering when Bats and Wondy were going to join the party. Now, where's my brother?"

Bruce sighed heavily and looked at him.

"Adam. He's dead."

Adam's face dropped. He looked dumfounded.

"W-what?"

"He had a heart attack 2 months ago." Flash continued.

Adam held his head in his hands. Some leaguers felt pity and other really didn't give one care. They really needed to find the others.

"Adam, where are they?" J'onn asked.

"Building 17 in Gotham." he said with a tear coming down his face.

"On our way." Batman stated.

The whole League raced to Gotham and arrived 5 minutes later. They arrived at the building and looked at the scene.

"So Bats, do we go in?" Green Arrow asked.

"Yes, but keep your guard up at all times."

Batman went in first and the others followed. They were greeted with Adam sitting in a chair with tissues around him.

"Where are they Adam?" Icon asked with no sympathy.

"In the room behind me."

Flash ran over to the door, but stopped dead in his tracks as he felt his foot sink into the ground. Within seconds, electricity flowed through their veins and they passed out one by one. Soon only Batman was awake. He refused to give in. Adam looked down at him smug.

"This isn't over." he growled through the pain.

"You're right Dark Knight. This is only the beginning."

Bruce couldn't fight it anymore and let darkness take him over.
