Chapter Seven

That's it. He has lost it," Batman said ten minutes later.

James rolled his eyes as he brought in the garbage can with Shifter in it. He had just returned to Watchtower. The entire Justice League, except for Chloe and Oliver, had watched the battle between him and the villain.

"Why because I brought a villain into Watchtower?" James asked as he typed on the computer.

"No, because you called her," he replied as he pointed to Zatanna.

The magician just rolled her eyes. "Oh, Bruce, get over what I did to you last time we saw each other. You should be thanking me anyway because you and Dinah," she gestured to Wonder Woman, "would not be together if it had not been for me."

"She has a point, Bruce," Wonder Woman told him. She smiled at Zatanna.

Batman just rolled his eyes.

The Justice League watched the exchange with amusement. They shook their heads.

James banged his hands on the computer. "Does anyone know how to search for someone on this thing?" He asked angrily.

Lois touched his shoulder. "Calm down, James, Clark is going to find her. He probably has already."

The blonde haired man sighed. He had not developed his super hearing ability yet and he was very frustrated that Clark had made him stay. He wanted to help. He had to get Michelle back if anything bad happened to her, he did not know what he would be able to do.

Clark burst into the room with Michelle struggling to get free from his arms.

"Let me go, Kryptonian!" She yelled.

"Zatanna, quickly," Clark said. He grunted when Michelle elbowed him in the stomach

"Brainiac, somnus," she said. The magician's eyes turned purple for a second then changed back to their normal color.

James let out a sigh of relief as Michelle's body relaxed. He stepped in front of Clark once Zatanna backed up. "I'll take her," he said. He grabbed his Legion ring and put it on.

A bright pink light began to form around him. Clark quickly handed Michelle to him.

"Good luck," he said.

"Thanks," James replied. "Zatanna, we may need your help."

The magician quickly grabbed his hand then they disappeared.

Chloe and Oliver just stared at the Legion of Super Heroes. Both blondes had the same expression on their face.

"You mean to tell me that this can kill James!" They yelled simultaneously.

The team looked like they were about to cry. They kept silent.

Brainiac Five decided to try to melt the ice. "I don't know why but James is the only one who can control this machine. I do not think it will kill him. It just takes a lot out of him. Now it is possible, but it is unlikely," he explained.

Oliver was about to say something, but a pale magenta light stopped him.

James stood in the middle of the room with Michelle in his arms. Zatanna was right beside him. He stepped forward.

Chloe and Oliver blocked him.

"You are not going near that machine," Chloe told him.

Oliver nodded in agreement. "It is too risky, and we do not want to lose you. You have become part of the family."

The blonde haired man sighed. He should have expected this. A look of determination came across his face. "I know what I'm doing," he told them. "Get out of my way."

Imra, Rokk, Garth, and Brainiac Five stood behind them. They were agreeing with the two Justice League members.

James glared at them. "I did not want to do this, but I have no choice," he said. He super sped with Michelle and Zatanna to the one place he knew where they would all have a hard time getting to.
