WatchTower 10:54 UTC
Selina's head hurt. A lot. As did her chest and arm. In fact, her whole body pretty much was screaming DO NOT GET UP WE ARE NOT GOOD! She ignored the voice and moved her fingers, hands, arms, toes and legs. Good, nothing broken. She opened her eyes and immediately wished she hadn't. A blinding light welcomed her and she shut her eyes.
Great, she thought. I'm either dead or in a hospital. God I hope it's the later. If I was dead I wouldn't get the chance to string Deathstroke up with my whip and let him hang. I swear if Bruce is out there without me I'm going to find him and kick his ass so help me if he tries to get in my way. Uh, calm down Selina. You're not even out of bed yet. Okay...time to get up.
She twitched her eyes as they adjusted to the light and moved her limbs once again to get the feeling back into them. Once she could see, her thoughts were confirmed. She was in a medical ward, in a med bed, with an IV drip in her arm and a heart monitor hooked up to her. Also she was shirtless. Thank god there were bandages. She would never live it down if Oliver Queen or Barry Allen had seen her breasts. She sat up despite her chest pain, and grabbed one of the lab coats hanging on a hook nearby.
She pulled it over one shoulder and hissed in pain. It was the shoulder Deathstroke had shot her in. The wound had healed but it would still be a while till the pain went away. Once she got the rest of coat on she slipped on some slippers and exited the room. She was in the WatchTower. Great. Now she was shirtless and three hundred thousand miles from home. Not to mention there was probably a room full of middle-aged men in tights somewhere around the corner...
That might not actually be so bad...No! Stop it! This is serious work Selina! No time to think about tights... and belts...belts around those hips and tight grey leggings outlining those rock hard calves and chest...with all those abs. Aw, abs upon abs with big arms that are just so warm being wrapped in that heavy cape on a cold night with his lips and- NO! STOP IT! YOU CANNOT BE DISTRACTED NO MATTER HOW SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE BRUCE IS! Get it together!
"Oh, hey! You're up!"
"AAH!"
SMACK!
"JESUS! Holy bean bar Selina! What is wrong with you!?"
"Barry!? God damn it don't sneak up on me like that!"
Barry Allen, wearing jeans and a pull over sweater with no shoes, rubbed his red check. "I didn't sneak. I was walking to the kitchen and you just happened to be here too. Need some help?"
Selina realized she had been slouching and using the wall to lean on. She immediately straightened her back, despite the pain in her chest.
"I'm fine."
"Yeah, that's why you're trudging down the hall in a skin thin lab coat with no shirt after waking up from a coma." He took her hand and ducked under her arm, pulling it over his neck so he shared her body weight. Good thing he wasn't as tall as Bruce.
"Coma? How long was I out?"
Barry thought for a literal second, "Two weeks, one day, seven hours. To be honest I thought you would be out for at least another week."
"What can I say, I'm stubborn."
"Hahaa. That's exactly what I would expect from a Bat."
"I'm more of a cat person."
Barry laughed as he helped the still slightly injured woman to the kitchen. It was a fairly large kitchen, two fridges, an island, double sinks and an entire wall of cupboards filled with snacks and foods. In the back of the room were a few lounge chairs and coffee tables along with a couple of breakfast tables and matching sets of chairs. All in all a very gourmet, very expensive kitchen.
"Let me guess, compliments of Wayne Industries?"
"And Oliver. He picked out the floor tiles and everything. Very fancy."
He helped her sit at the island and went around to fix them both some coffee. Selina watched as Barry flashed around he kitchen gathering all types of foods and appliances to make breakfast. He made french toast, put some cinnamon rolls in the oven and chopped fruit faster than Selina could boil water.
"They don't call you the fastest man alive for nothing. Your girlfriends must be very lucky."
"Harhar. Actually I'm happily married to a wonderful woman, and she is very lucky to have me as a devoted husband."
"Okay, I was just making fun. So what has everyone been doing for the past two weeks? Nobodies died yet, right? Bruce better not be out there looking for Joker or Dick because he isn't going to find either of them without me."
"Actually, Bruce is still here. I think he's sleeping right now to be honest. He almost killed himself a week ago when he tried going over the four day limit. Clark and J'onn had to knock him out by force by the end of it. He got the message though. He can't help anyone if he gets himself killed first."
"That sounds like Bruce. Always was a restless sleeper."
Barry made a face.
"Shut up. We dated a few times but it never got too serious."
He was still making that face.
"Allen I swear if you don't stop that I will call Iris up and tell her where you are."
"Never mind then."
"Good. Now, did you ever find who shot me?"
Barry shook his head. "No. When Bruce got there Dick was missing and you were out cold in a pool of blood. You really gave us a scare there for a moment. J'onn and I had to operate quickly and I was kind of freaking out-"
"You what!?"
"I was freaking out. You know since I know you and you got shot-"
"Not that! You operated on my chest! You didn't see anything did you!?"
"Selina Kyle, are you embarrassed? I'll have you know I am a trained professional! I'm a married man! I've seen bo-"
"Do not finish that sentence! Just tell me what happened after the surgery."
"Okay, but you're missing the best part. Bruce got a little upset seeing you like that, I gave him some comforting words, talked to the kids, made sure everyone was okay and now two weeks later everyone has gone home but we make sure they check in everyday. Did you know Conner works for the Daily Planet? Yeah! He's an junior journalist and hangs out with Lois and Jimmy everyday. And M'gann's got a job at a day care. Wally and Artemis are living together and going to school. Kaldur pretty much screwed us over and Roy's been missing for a while now like Dick and we still can't find them. And I'm actually freaking out because everything is so wrong in so many ways like we missed three years of their lives and Dick probably shot you and Tula is hiding something and apparently Jade had a baby-"
"BARRY! Shut up! Calm down and take a deep breath!"
Barry inhaled and exhaled deeply according to Selina's instruction, the panic he had been feeling washing away as calm too control.
"Sorry. It-Its been a tough two weeks."
"I can imagine. Barry, can you tell me that last part again?"
"Jade had a baby?"
"No before that."
"We missed three years?"
"No after that."
"Everyone thinks Dick's the one who shot you?"
"Yes! How could you!?" She smacked Barry upside the head.
"OW! Sorry! I know! It was stupid! I blame Bruce!"
"God Barry! You are all a bunch of morons! Of course Dick didn't shoot me! He would never shoot anyone! God damn it, so he's a little damaged and ruff around the edges but he would never hurt me, or you, the team or even Bruce! For God's sake he is a kid! They're all still kids and if you even think for a moment that any of them are capable of such a thing then-AAH!"
Selina held her side as the pain flared, Barry suddenly at her side and helping her off the stool, picking her up bridal style and zooming over to the leather chairs before disappearing and reappearing with a bottle of pain killer. He gave her a glass of water and two pills.
"Here. These should help. But don't get stressed or over excited about anything. You move to much and the stitches will stretch and come out."
She gulped down the drugs and breathed. Barry patted her on the back and soothed her.
"We wouldn't want that now would we?" Selina joked. "So, where is Bruce? It's like, ten o'clock and he never sleeps in. Alfred would have to drug him before Bruce slept past nine."
Barry shrugged, "Everyone kind of went off on their own two days ago. Clark is staying with Conner and M'gann, which I think is great seeing as all he wanted to do with them is get caught up. J'onn went to Mars. Orin is somewhere in the Arctic getting his gills back and I'm chilling here with Bruce as he goes back and forth between the Batcave and checking on Barbra and Kate."
"And how did the kids react to me being out of commission?"
"Wally freaked out of course. Same with M'gann until Conner calmed her down. They were all pretty upset and once we told them about Roy and Kaldur, Tula showed up and I think Artemis called up Zatanna to check on her and Raquel-"
"Wait! What about Roy and Kaldur!?"
Gotham City 10:45 UTC
Bruce sat on top of the hill that Wayne Manor once stood on. All that work, years of family legacy and the hard work his great-grandfather had put into that house, gone. In a single night along with most of Gotham and the only parental figure Bruce had after his parents. Yes, Bruce thought of Alfred as a second father. He had raised Bruce from when he was eight and had always been there for him. Bruce had grown up in that house, then he had taken Dick in and raised him as a foster son. That was supposed to be a temporary thing, being Dick's foster parent. Bruce had drawn up the adoption papers and was going to surprise Dick on his fifteenth birthday, now he would never get that chance.
He hear Clark before he saw him.
"What do you want, Kent?"
"Just checking in. How's Barbra?"
"Fine. Kate is an appropriate guardian and can handle herself. I checked. Anymore questions?"
"Nope." Clark sat down beside his best friend. "I got a call from Barry. Selina woke up a few hours ago and he's filling her in on everything. She wants to talk to you though."
Bruce nodded. He figured that Selina would wake up sooner rather than later. And he wasn't at all surprised to hear she wanted an explanation for what happened over the past two weeks.
Two weeks, Bruce thought. Two weeks of deafening silence from any other League members. Two weeks of worrying from Oliver, Orin and himself about their missing kids. Tula came and went as she pleased, but she had no new news on Kaldur or the others. It was driving them insane, not knowing what was happening to them.
"I'll go to the WatchTower in a few hours. Right now I think I'll just sit here." Bruce mumbled. "Did she say anything?"
Clark's face soured, like he really did not want to talk about the subject.
"What is is Clark?" The venom in Bruce's voice slapped Clark across the face.
"She confirmed that it wasn't Dick that shot her, but there was something else that I think she wants to tell you herself. She knows who took Dick."
WatchTower 11:00 UTC
Batman: 02; Superman: 01
The computers voice echoed as the two men stormed into the WatchTower, Clark trying his hardest to keep pace with Bruce as the Dark Knight speed walked towards the space stations kitchen only to see Barry on the floor with his arm behind his back at a painful angle with Selina, in a lab coat and scrub pants, on top of him.
"Say it again Allen! I dare you! Say it!"
"Never! You can't make me! Bruce! Bruce help me! This crazy she-devil attacked me for no reason!"
"No reason!? Screw you Barry you said that Oliver was the last one to see Roy and then you called me an idiot! Now apologize!"
"This is crazy!" Clark said. "You are both acting like children! Selina get off of him and Barry, apologize."
The two 'adults' did as told and Barry apologized, not wanting to endure the wrath of Superman.
The four sat on the chairs in the back of the kitchen, Bruce immediately getting to the point.
"Kent said you know who took Dick and the other boys."
"Dick yes. The other boys not so much. But I do know that Kaldur has something to do with it."
"Spill it Selina," Bruce said ruffly.
She sighed, "What do you know about Deathstroke?"
BABAMM! THOUGHT I LOST YOU THERE! I'M BACK! but just for this chapter so far. busy time and i haven't had a lot to do what i want.
