Alright so I know this chapter is a LITTLE late. I had it all written up, and then I lost my flashdrive! Things have been crazy at my house and this is the first chance I've had to re-write it. The next few chapters will be faster because it is summer vacation and all. Who know, we might actually get to those superhero battles. Hurrah for superhero battles!

I really, truly, honestly, 100% certainly, STILL don't own Justice League

Adam ran from the simulator. He needed to get to the infirmary. Quickly, he made his way down the hall to the elevator and tapped his foot impatiently. Someone must have missed a maintains check because the elevator was defiantly going slower than usual. Adam bolted out of the elevator and dashed around the superheroes in the hall. He only hit a few, but kept on running,

Apologize later, just get there he thought as he jumped through the doors and saw her on the bed. A heart monitor and an IV were attached to her. Batman stood over the bed. He wasn't holding her hand or even giving a sign of concern, just standing there. Adam walked over to the chair and sat down grasping her hand gently.

"What happened to her?" Adam asked looking at Batman.

"We don't know. She passed out during her skating lesson. We're doing some blood work now." The dark knight said. Adam nodded and looked back at her. He noticed the rose sitting on the counter. He reached up and brushed the petals.

"Don't touch it, she was wearing it when she lost consciousness. It may have been the cause."

"It's not the cause," Adam said, "I gave it to her." He said defending himself to Batman.

"Where did you get it?" Batman asked.

"From Dash, look neither of us would ever do anything to hurt her." Adam said, his eyes leaving Martha's face for just a moment to look at her father.

"We're still testing it." Batman said. Adam glared at the man, but a much scarier glare caused Adam to look back at Martha quickly. Batman walked into the lab where J'ohn was doing test on her blood samples.

"Anything."

"There is a foreign substance in her body. Most likely from the rose, but I'd have to compare them." Batman nodded.

"Could her Amazon abilities be effecting it?" He asked.

"I can't say. It seems probably."

"I don't want probably, I want facts." Batman said, Then looked at his daughter for a moment. He could feel the Martian's eyes on his back.

"Go ahead and say it." He told J'ohn

"Say what?" the Martian asked with a tone of innocence.

"Say whatever you haven't been saying." Sighing, J'ohn spoke.

"You cannot blame Superboy, Batman."

"The boy gave my daughter the rose that has her laying on that bed." Batman answered.

"He had nothing but good intentions." Batman grunted.

"Anything else?"

"You should tell Diana." J'ohn said. Batman brought his hand up to the communicator in his ear.

"Batman to Wonder Woman."

"Diana here." She said, the sounds of a fight in the background.

"You're needed in the medical bay." Batman said. Leaving it at that.

"She's not going to like that." J'ohn said softly, but Batman still heard it. He ignored it and continued to watch his daughter. Adam squeezed her hand brought the pale fingers to his lips softly. Batman's face was blank, but Martian felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him from the caped crusader. Once Superboy had walked out of the medical bay, Batman walked back into the main room, and took a pair of tweezers from his belt. Batman pulled a single petal from the rose and put it in his utility belt then clasped his daughter's hand.

"I'll figure out who did this princess." He said and for just a moment, it seemed like Martha smiled a moment at him. He squeezed her hand and walked away from the medical lab. He walked down the hall, not letting his face or his pace give away the fact that inside, he was scared and worried for his only daughter. In his head, Batman was trying to figure out why she would have passed out. Skating and training was taking out a lot of energy, but she'd assured them it was under control. She'd been having some problems at school with english, but had gotten some help. It just didn't make sense. Wonder Woman was walking to opposite way when she saw Batman.

"Batman." She said, turning around so she could walk with him. "What's going on?" She asked.

"The cave." Batman said simply. Diana didn't fight him, but walked along side him. There strides extended so they could move faster without breaking into a run. They reached the transporter pad and beamed down to the cave silently.

"Bruce what is going on?" Diana asked. Batman took the cowl off his face and put the rose petal under a microscope.

"It's Martha, she passed out during her skating lesson this afternoon. They have her in the watchtower." Diana gasped. Bruce looked at the petal under the microscope, barely registering his wife beaming back to the tower. A careful examination showed that the rose carried traced elements of a poison that matched Poison Ivy's poisons, but it couldn't be Ivy. Pamela had passed away 3 years earlier in a fire. The villainess had a daughter, but Lillian was in Italy with her adopted parents Lord and Lady Carnadine. Batman rubbed the bridge of his nose, contemplating his next move when a call came in.

"J'ohn to Batman."

"Batman here." He answered.

"I ran the tests to see if her Amazon abilities were affecting the rose, there is no doubt that they are defiantly increasing the poison's effect. I've never seen such a fast working poison. Also, the rose has already begun to wilt. I believe it was genetically altered to deliver the poison and die quickly. I am certain that this rose was not given to Superboy accidently."

"Thank you J'ohn." Batman said before closing the line. After thinking about it for a minute, Batman started the BatPlane up. It was off to Italy.

Silently, Batman crept along the outside wall of Lord Carnadine's summer home. He reached the window of Lillian Isley's room. Pushing the window open, Batman flew in. Silently, the Dark Knight slipped into the darken corner. The room wasn't a bedroom, but a library. There were dozens of shelves and each held hundred of books. They were all study and would have taken months to move. It was more likely that Lillian hadn't been here at all. The door opened, and Batman sunk deeper into the shadows. Lord Carnadine came out wearing a dark blue robe and going up to a bookshelf. He was a short, fat, man in his late 50s or early 60s. Peppered hair topped his head and glasses framed his small eyes. Batman watched him grab an old book from one of the shelves then came up from the shadows and behind the Lord.

"Where is she Caradine?" Batman asked using the Lord's native tongue. The Lord dropped his book in shock.

"Where is who?" Caradine asked as Batman came closer.

"Where is Lillian." Batman asked again lowering his voice to a growl.

"I don't know! The agency called us two days before she was to arrive and said not to expect her! P-please, that's-s all I know!" Caradine said, shaking. "You can go through my phone records. Do what ever you like, just leave me alone." He hid under his arms. Batman took a step back and left from the same window he'd come in from. Caradine rose to his feet then walked out of the room cautiously.

"Now I'll never get to sleep." He murmured walking carefully down the hall.

Batman sat in the BatCave looking over the Lord's phone records. The woman at the adoption agency said Lillian had left on a plane for Italy, so that left the mysterious call. Her narrowed down the calls to those that had been made one week before the scheduled arrival. There was one number that struck out to him. He hadn't expected the number, but wasn't shocked that the caller was involved.

It's been a long time He thought running the number to see if it was still hers. It was, so Bruce contacted Diana on the comlink.

"I've got a lead." He said.

"Where?" Batman gave a last known address and then asked.

"Are you coming?"

"I'll transport down immediately." She said ending the com. Batman moved to the transporter in the cave and programmed the coordinates.

Batman arrived at the coordinates only seconds before Wonder Woman. They were on a large balcony in Central City. A woman was there with a champagne glass in her right hand. Her raven hair was pinned delicately to her head and a low cut scarlet dress hugged her body. She took a slow slip from her glass and then asked,

"You're a bit out of your jurisdiction eh Bruce?" It was Wonder Woman who answered,

"What have you done to my daughter?" in a cold threatening tone.

Oh, cliffhanger! I'm very evil If anyone can guess who are lady is, than they well win a very special prize! They will find out what the prize is when they win it. Good luck guys!
