"The Prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes cried the most tears, and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain-" Elaine Winters, mother of John Winters.
Ethen woke up the second time and Ryan was curled up in a lounge. Ethen smiled and reached over and gently rubbed his head, which caused Ryan to jump awake. "You're awake…" He whispered sleepily. Just then Logan stepped in. "Where is Raine and Jason?" Ethen asked him. "Is Raine alright?" He then asked.
"The Justice League found her just in time. She has broken ribs, some swelling in the brain, the doctors had to put her in to an induced coma to let the swelling go down, and she has cuts and bruises. Jason is with her at the moment. How are you feeling?" Logan asked.
"Tired. This might not be the first time I was shot, but it still hurts like hell. It reminds me of the pain when I first got shot, that's why it's so painful…" Ethen tried to sit up but the pain was too painful. "The doctor said you are healing faster than normal." Logan said.
"Maybe we're not normal…" Ethen said. "I know, Jason has talked to Superman and Batman and they have agreed to help us." Logan sighed as he limbed towards Ryan and picked him and then sat down. "What happened to you?" Ethen asked.
"I lost control… I got angry, scared. I-" Logan began to explain but Ethan interrupted him. "I know I get it."
Batman watched Raine sleep. He went unnoticed by the doctors and nurses. One nurse did though, she must've sensed something behind her because she gasped and whirled around to face him. Batman lifted a finger to his lips telling her to not make a sound. "How is she?" He asked in his raspy cold voice.
"The swelling in the brain has gone down a little since she got here, but we still have to keep her in an induced coma until the swelling has gone down completely."
Batman nodded. "And her brother?" He asked.
"It's strange… He is healing faster than anyone I've ever seen… Is he a member of the Justice League?"
"No, But they are in danger of being discovered, I want to take them somewhere safe…" With that he left without another word, leaving the nurse standing there. "Damn he's terrifying." She whispered. Then she went to find Raine Winters' doctor. She found him in the staff room. "Doctor, we need to prepare Raine and Ethen Winters for moving… They are in danger…" She said. The doctor looked up from the file he was working on. "We can't do that, Shelley, we can't move Miss Winters right now…"
"Don't argue with the Batman." The nurse said. The doctor sighed. "Don't argue with the Batman…" He agreed. "Prep her. Did he say when he will be back?" The doctor asked. The nurse shook her head.
Batman got back to the Watch Tower. "We need to go get the Winters siblings here, safely… With Luthor on the run who knows what he'll do when he finds out about them." Batman said when he entered the meeting room."
"We can't just take them. We need their consent…" Superman said. "I'll get it… Call Logan Winters on his mobile." Batman said. And the computer dialled.
"Who's this?" Logan answered wearily. "It's me." Batman replied.
"What is it?" Logan asked.
"You and your siblings are in danger, it will be safer if you come to the Watch Tower. We have doctors here." Superman said. Logan didn't say anything for a moment. They thought he actually hung up on them for a minute. "Alright." Logan finally replied.
Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash went to the hospital. Raine's doctor came running up to them. "Please let me take care of Raine and her brothers… I have known them since birth… Please." The doctor pleaded.
"I'll be watching you." Batman glared and the doctor gulped and nodded. They got the Winters siblings safely to the Watch Tower. "J'onn, can you make sure there wasn't any evidence that Raine and her brothers weren't there? And us as well?" Batman asked the Martian who nodded and closed his eyes. A minute later he opened them again and said, "It is done, no one remembers Miss Winters or her brothers ever being admitted. And I have convinced the staff that Doctor Wells is on leave until Miss Winters has recovered."
"Thank you."
"DAMN IT! WHERE DID THEY GO?" Luthor screamed at the computer screen. "I saw Superman in the hospital, then Batman and Wonder Woman…" Someone replied.
"They must've taken the siblings to the Watch Tower… DAMN IT, DAMN IT DANM IT!" Luthor screamed and threw the computer at the wall where it shattered. "I have to get in to the Watch Tower… Or I will draw them out." Luthor said as he thought about ideas to draw them out.
"I looked at Miss Winter's chart and it said that she is in an induced coma… Your men did quite a number on her. Give her time to recover and then we will reveal everything to them…" A woman said coming out of the shadows. She was wearing jeans, a red top and a white coat that she stole from the hospital when she disguised herself as a doctor. Luthor turned to the woman and grinned at her. He went up to her and pulled up against him. "Are you sure your husband is dead?" He asked her.
The woman smiled and said, "A knife straight in to the heart. Bled to death right in front of me." She sneered. Luthor grinned and covered her lips with his in a hard dominate kiss. Soon they were clawing each other's clothes.
A man entered the hospital and asked for Raine Winters. "I'm sorry, but we don't have a patient here by that name. Are you sure that you were told she is in this hospital?" The receptionist said. "Yes, I'm sure. What about Doctor Wells?" The man asked. "He is on leave at the moment."
"Okay thank you for your help." The man said and walked out. He had to find them before she did…
Logan watched them like a hawk when Batman examined Jason and his connection with Ethen. "Like I said before, you have a strong connection with your siblings, but even a stronger one with Ethen…" Batman explained. When he was done he turned to Logan and asked, "Can I examine Ryan?"
Logan looked at Jason who nodded his consent. "Try anything, and I'll make sure it will be the last thing you do. Mess with my baby brother, and you'll be dealing with me." Logan said. "If he even winces I will end you." Jason added in the same threatening voice.
Batman examined Ryan for any source of power but he couldn't find any. "All clear. He has no powers." Batman declared as he let Ryan go. Ryan ran straight back to Logan who scooped him up and went over to Raine's bed.
"Of course Ryan doesn't have any powers, he hasn't been in an accident… so far, and we intend to keep it that way." Jason responded to what Batman just said.
"I believe you all were born with those powers… your incidents just triggered them. But you and Ethen always had that strong twin connection." Batman replied and turned to leave. At the door he bumped in to Doctor Wells. "I want to know who Raine is doing every hour." He said to the doctor who gulped and nodded.
Fifteen minutes later J'onn walked in. Logan and Jason stood up in alarm, Logan held on to Ryan tighter. Ethen sat up straighter. "It is alright, my name is J'onn. I am here to see how Miss Winters is doing… I want to go inside her mind to see how she is." J'onn said. Logan just stared at him.
"I will not harm your sister. I am a member of the Justice League." J'onn added.
"I know who you are… Are you really from Mars?" Logan asked. "I was, I am the last of my kind, besides my niece." J'onn replied. Logan smiled and held out his hand. "Pleasure to meet you in person." J'onn took the offered hand and shook it gently. "The pleasure is mine." He said in his deep voice.
"Do you prefer me to change my appearance?" J'onn asked. "You can do that?" Jason asked curiously. J'onn changed in his human form, which was a tall handsome African American middle aged man.
"Awesome." Jason whispered in excitement. "Change back." Ryan said jumping up and down. J'onn did as the young boy asked. "I like the real you." Ryan said. J'onn smiled at the boy. "Thank you." J'onn then turned to Raine and closed his eyes.
"Who's there?" Raine asked. She looked around and saw nothing but white. Then a tall figure came in to view. He was tall and green. "J'onn the Martian?" Raine recognised him. "Yes, do not be afraid. I just want to ask you if you can hear everything." J'onn replied.
"I can. Are my brother's alright?" She asked.
"They are fine. Ethen was shot but he is recovering rather fast." J'onn replied. "You are in the medical bay in the Watch Tower. You and your brothers were brought here for you safety. Do not be alarmed. Batman has found out that you, Logan, Jason and Ethen were born with your powers, and the accidents you had triggered the powers you three possess."
"It hurts…" Raine whispered.
"I know, it is not time to wake up. You have swelling to the brain. Rest. Your brothers are safe. Ethen has been shot trying to save you but he is healing fast."
Raine nodded in reply and J'onn disappeared.
J'onn opened his eyes. "She is alright. I told her everything. She looked worried about Ethen." He said when he saw Batman and Superman watching him.
The next day Ethen was up and walking around. "Unbelievable!" Doctor Wells said in astonishment. Batman and Superman came in. "He has completely healed." The doctor told him. Ethen ignored him and went over to his sister. "Don't Ethen, you don't have your strength back." Jason said when Ethen placed a hand on Raine's head gently.
"Let her heal on her own." Superman said. Ethen turned to him and said, "Find the bastard."
"We will believe me." Superman growled.
Logan, Ethen, Jason and Ryan turned their attention back to their sister.
A few days later Raine opened her eyes, she looked around for her brothers, but they weren't there... "Hello sleepy head." A familiar voice said in a friendly tone. Raine looked up at the face… Raine frowned in confusion and then it hit her. She remembered the voice and the face…
And she screamed…
I'm sorry if it's too short.
