Courage is not the absence of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear… - John Winters

Raine woke up tied to what looks like the electric chair, she looked up and saw a helmet with wires sticking out of it. "You're finally awake. I've injected you with a serum that will your powers at a non-lethal level." Lex Luthor explained, as he stepped in to the light.

Raine didn't say anything, she just glared at him and tried to break free, but her energy was down as well as her powers… "Why?" She asked when she gave up.

"Because my dear you are going to help me."

"Why should I?" She snapped when she stopped. "Because my dear, we could be the Earth's heroes together. But first we have to destroy the Justice League. We-"

"Why destroy the Justice League?" Raine asked, interrupting Luthor's rant.

"Because they can be dangerous, Superman can be dangerous, I've been to another world where Superman takes over the world, and he killed anyone who questioned him. He even betrayed his best friend, by telling the world who Batman is under that cowl." Luthor explained.

"Why?"

"Because that world, Joker killed Superman's wife who was pregnant, he killed the Joker and took over the world. The whole Justice League took over the world, all except Batman. When Superman found out that his wife was alive in this world he tried to bring her back to his world."

"Shut up. Flash told me that story." Raine groaned. Luthor walked up to her and grabbed her by the chin and brought his face close to hers. "It's a shame, but I have to let you go. You are a beautiful girl Raine Winters. I'm not going to kill you yet… I want to draw Superman's attention…" Luthor stepped away from her and went over to a crate, he lifted the lid, reached in and brought out a green crystal.

"Kryptonite." She whispered in pure fear. "Yes my dear, Kryptonite. I have enough here to kill him. So you are part of the plan to kill Superman whether you like it or not. Goodbye for now, my dear." With a flick of a switch electricity ran through her body. Raine had to come up away to get in contact with Superman to stop him…

"Superman, Luthor has Raine…" Flash reported. "Where are they?" Superman asked. "We are following a trail. Word of warning… Logan is out there and he is angry, nothing can stop him." Flash added.

"How angry is he?" Superman asked. As he flew in to air in to space again. "Someone took his sister, shot his brother and terrorised his youngest brother, I'd say he is pissed off." Batman replied."Is that all?"Superman asked. "Logan has powers. He can teleport from one place to another and he can form a silver armour over his body. If Luthor gets his hands on Logan as well..." Batman added.

"Logan might be there right now." Green Lantern said.

"He's stopping a bank robbery right now." Batman said as he went past the bank. Logan was in the bank, kick all kinds of butt in there. Superman flinched when he heard bones cracking. "Batman, stop him, before he kills someone." Superman said.

Batman didn't reply he just turned around and tackled Logan to the ground. "ENOUGH! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!" He shouted. He pinned Logan to the floor. "In the Justice League, we DO NOT kill anyone, not even the bad guys." Batman added.

"Do you understand me?" Batman growled in Logan's face who nodded. "Good, now take them to the police and then meet me on the roof of the G.C.P.D. building."

Batman waited for Logan on top of the G.C.P. building. When he came up he was with Gordon. Batman nodded at his long-time friend and then turned to Logan growled in his deadly voice. "What were you thinking?" Logan closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath. "I saw the gun and I lost it. All I could think about was Ethen in the hospital, Ryan crying hysterically and shaking uncontrollably, and Raine taken by someone who wants to use her to take down the Justice League."

"Do you have proof that it is Lex Luthor…? You don't want to go up against a man with his money…" Gordon said.

"I have put hidden cameras in Metropolis, central city, and Starling City as well as New York. We have enough to put him in prison for a long time. And his money can't help him this time. We will even have him in attempted murder and kidnapping." Batman said.

"What is on the recordings?" Gordon asked. "Illegal trade, weapons, drugs, and kryptonite. Luthor has a lot of that. The Justice League plans on destroying the Kryptonite."

Gordon turned around and said in to the Radio, "Attention all personnel, there is an arrest warrant for Lex Luthor, if you see him approach him with caution, he is extremely dangerous." With that said he turned back to Logan and Batman. "You better get him before he hurts anyone else." He warned.

"He has my sister, he already is." Logan whispered and then disappeared.

Raine curled up in a ball in a cage. She was beaten, thugs tried to beat her in to submission and to make her scream. But she kept herself in control. Now they have gathered up in the next room trying to figure out to do with her next…

"Superman, can you hear me? Don't come… Kryptonite everywhere…" She whispered praying that he heard her…

And he did hear her. Superman was floating just above the Earth's atmosphere, with his eyes closed. He not only heard her, he pinned pointed where she was… "Superman, she is in old Gotham animal pound… I can't got… there is a lot of Kryptonite." He said in the earpiece.

"On it." Batman replied.

"Everyone else got that?" Superman asked the rest of the League. "We got it." The League replied. Flash was there first there. "Superman, I can race in there and take all the Kryptonite out and then you can come in and take Luthor down." He said.

"Do it." Batman replied for Superman.

Flash found Raine beaten and unconscious. She had been beaten up badly. She said no to Lex Luthor. "Raine, are you alright?" He asked in a whisper. "Kryptonite… Everywhere…" Raine gasped out. She couldn't breathe. She has crack ribs, bruises and cuts everywhere on her body. "We know, he heard you. Everything is going to be alright." Flash said calmly. Raine believed him, she slipped in darkness…

"Raine, don't fall asleep. I need you to stay awake… Raine?" Flash tried to wake her but he couldn't. He ran out of the building and got Superman's attention. Superman flew down and X-rayed her. "Broken ribs and a concussion… I'll take her. Get rid of the Kryptonite." Superman took Raine in to his arms and took off before Flash could say anything more. Flash sighed in relief, Superman wasn't arguing with everyone. But you can see the anger building up inside of him.

Superman followed Raine in to the hospital. Nobody argued with him. He watched them do tests and then take her in to surgery. "I'm sorry Superman, but I can't let you in. But I will come and get you when she is out if you want to stay." The nurse stopped him. Superman smiled and nodded. He walked around the hospital and decided to visit Ethen. When he got there, Jason and Ryan were there. Logan was in the corner of the room.

"Did you find her?" Logan asked. Jason and Ryan looked up at him. "We found her. She is in surgery right now." Superman replied. Logan ran out of the room. Superman watched him go then turned back to Jason and Ryan. Superman bent down to Ryan's level and asked in a gentle voice. "Are you alright?" Ryan nodded and then hid his face back in Jason's chest. "How is Ethen?" Superman then asked.

"He woke up a little while ago. He just fell back to sleep. The doctor said he will be fine…" Jason looked like he wanted to say something else. Superman sat down in the chair next to him and Ryan surprised him when he climbed out of Jason's lap and in to his and fell asleep. Jason stared at his brother in shock. "He doesn't usually take to strangers… But I guess your Superman." He said.

Superman squeezed Ryan firmly but gently. Just then Batman appeared out of the Darkness. "He got away." He said. Superman and Jason sprang up from their chairs. Ryan was startled from the sudden movement. Superman laid him on the chair he was just sitting in.

"What do you mean he's gone?" Superman demanded.

"He was gone when Flash and I went back in. Wonder Woman is searching now with Green Lantern and Flash. And now the police are on the lookout for him." Batman said. He then turned to Jason, "how is he?"

"He just woke up, but then he went back to sleep to rest… Can I talk to you two for a moment?" Jason asked he was distracted. "What is it?" Superman asked. "I can trust you two right?" Jason asked.

"Of course you can." Superman replied calmly. Batman looked impatient.

"Well, you know about Raine's powers, and Logan's powers…" Jason whispered. Superman and Batman nodded. "Well, Ethen has been shot more than once, and he has completely healed faster than anyone else… And I have felt his pain every time he was injured. And he could feel mine. When I broke my arm three years ago it only took half the time to heal then it normally should…"

"Some people heal differently than others." Superman pointed out.

"It only took two weeks for my arm to heal…" Jason said raising an eyebrow. "Raine got her powers by and accident?" Batman said. "Yes…" Jason replied nodding his head slowly.

"Logan got his powers from an accident correct?" Batman asked. "Yes…" Jason wondered where Batman was going with these sorts of questions…

"Think about it… Have all of you been in accidents?" Batman asked. "Yes, except for me and Ryan, thank goodness."

"You and Ethen are twins, you have this connection with Ethen, like a psychic connection."

"That is all a myth…" Ethen dismissed the idea.

"Are you able to feel when he is scared or angry or happy?"

"Yes, but I can also feel Logan's, Raine's, and Ryan's as well. And our parents emotions as well." Jason told him. "I can feel yours as well." He added looking up at Batman.

"So much anger…" Jason whispered and Batman frowned. Jason turned to Superman and whispered, "You are angry, worried, sad, and you feel like you're alone." Superman just stared at him with not expression on his face.

"When has all this started?" Batman asked. "When our parents died. I was so upset and lost… If I didn't have my brothers and sister… then…" Jason would have killed himself. Jason lowered his head to hide the tears that were threatening to come. Just then Ryan touched his arm trying to comfort him. Then it came to him.

"I remember now… When I had broken my arm, Ethen touched the broken arm and in two weeks it was healed. I didn't think of it… And then in time I forgot all about it. When Ethen first got shot he did die. The bullet hit him in the chest, just missing his heart… It was touch and go. When he pulled through he said that someone came to him… a woman told him that it wasn't his time to go and she gently pressed a hand on his chest and then he came back. And then he woke up."

"I think you all have powers, except for Ryan." Batman said.

There is chapter 3.
