I'm so so so sorry for not updating, I've been neglecting this story and I've been writing a Fictionpress story…
Please read and then review.
Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile…
Flash gasped a wake, his heart was pounding, and he struggled for a breath. He saw Electric straddling him with her hands on his chest. "This is a fine way to wake up." Flash said in a raspy voice when he noticed Electric straddling him, he ran his hands up her thighs. Batman picked Electric up and pulled her up off the Flash and then glared at him.
"Sorry Bats, I forgot that Electric is your girl." Flash grinned as he sat up. "She is not my girl." Batman growled. Batman had been getting very protective of Electric… Ever since the world found out about the new member of the Justice league every bad guy has been trying to get their hands on her. It didn't matter that she had three older brothers and her father and uncle watching her every step. But everyone knows
Wonder Woman smiled at him. "He's back." Superman said with a chuckle. "We almost lost you there, buddy." Green Lantern said.
"Electric saved your life, and for that we are grateful." J'onn said placing a gentle hand on Electric's shoulder. Electric looked up at him and smiled.
"What happened?" Batman got right down to business. Flash frowned in thought. "I got a stress call back home saying that someone or something was attacking innocent people. I got there and I found it… It was huge and it looked dead, but it was alive somehow. It was stealing souls. It had a body in its hand, it was a criminal. It kills its victim and then sucks the soul out of the body… Or was it the other way round?" Flash scratched the top of his head in confusion.
"It most likely killed its victims and then took their souls. You wouldn't be breathing right now if it did the other way round." Wonder Woman said.
"Wait how long was I dead for?" Flash asked.
"Not that long. I was able to find you just minutes after your call." J'onn replied.
"All I really remember is that I was following the dead bodies of men, women, and even two or three children and when I found it, I fought it. It was slow so I had it on its back in minutes, but then when I had it on its back it vanished in to thin air and then I called for back-up and then I felt something hit me in the head and then I woke up here."
"J'onn, can you go to Central city and see what you can find?" Superman asked. J'onn nodded and left.
"I'll go with him." Wonder Woman said. Superman was about to protest but she said, "J'onn can't go out on his own. Flash went on his own and it killed him."
"Actually killed him." Electric added. Superman stared at her, then back at Wonder Woman. "You can listen in on what is going on. Something is threatening and killing innocent lives, and it hurt a good friend of ours." Wonder Woman said. Superman sighed, finally giving in. He leaned down and kissed her, a quick gentle kiss on the lips.
"Be careful." He whispered and then he let her go.
"She is immortal, and the second strongest hero in the world, after you. And I have a feeling she can give you a fare good beating if she wanted to. She will be fine, both her and J'onn." Electric added. Superman gently patted her shoulder as he walked past her.
Electric started to follow him but Batman stopped her, she turned to look at him in question and Batman shook his head. "He will call us if he needs us. Let him be." Batman said.
"I feel useless." Electric sighed.
"Come on let's get back to training."
"Na, I had enough." Electric said and went to follow Superman. Batman followed her. They entered just as Wonder Woman said through the coms. "It wasn't hard to find… It is sucking the soul out of victims."
"Like a vampire." Electric whispered.
"It tried to suck J'onn's soul but all it got was punch in the face. It is getting powerful. J'onn managed to look in to its mind and it wants to take over the world." Wonder Woman ignored Electrics comment.
"Why does every alien, besides Superman and J'onn want to come and take over the world?" Electric asked. "Earth is weak compared to other planets. The Earth's weapons are nothing compared to what Mars's weapons were."
"The earth has Superman and the Justice League to save and protect it." Ryan appeared from nowhere. Ryan's powers a growing as well, he can sneak up on people with no one noticing. Raine took his hand and whispered, "Even Superman has a weakness. But yes, it does."
"Let's go." Superman called out. "I have an idea…" Electric said in thought.
"What is it?" Superman asked turning to face her. Batman had a bad feeling that he wouldn't like this idea…
"I be the bait…" Yep, he didn't like that idea, not one bit.
"No." Batman said in a firm voice. "Why not?" Electric turned to face the Dark Knight. She was so close to him that she had to look up at him with annoyed expression.
"To Dangerous." Was all he replied.
"You put yourself on the line all the time an alien come and wants to try and take over the planet, and your human…" Electric stated.
"You sure about that?" Flash whispered. Batman heard that and glared at the Speedster, who flinched under the glare. "I suggest we let Superman decide." Flash than said.
"She is right, Batman. I say we go with the plan."
"Let's get going." Flash said and sped to the teleporter pad.
As Electric followed the Flash Batman stopped in front of Superman and said in his deadliest voice. "If anything happens to her, I will hunt you down." With the Kryptonite in the cave, he will.
"I'll be in the room as well. I won't let it get to her, I promise… You have really fallen for her haven't you?" Superman whispered the last part so only Batman could hear. Batman swung around and said in a whisper. "I don't have time for a private life… And I can't have any distractions…"
"Come one Wayne, I'm your best friend, after Alfred of course… You can talk to me okay. And I'm not after a story."
"Not now." Batman said and walked off.
J'onn and Wonder Woman met them on the roof of the Metropolis Police department. "We lost him. He has some of Flash's speed, he sped up a wall and disappeared." J'onn said. "He looks like a human being, brown hair, green eyes, wearing jeans and black shirt. But when he sucks the souls, his eyes turn black."
"At least we know what we are looking for." Flash said.
"We need to find him quickly before it is able to contact more of its kind, and before it gets more powerful." Wonder Woman said. Superman nodded, "Okay, the people who can fly will take to the air. Batman, you take the rooves. Flash, you are on the streets; Green Lantern you go with Flash this time. But everyone has to watch out for each other." Everyone nodded.
Electric found a dark quiet alley way and hid behind a trash can and curled up in a ball, her knees were pressed up against her chest, and then she started to cry. Batman watched her from the darkness. Superman was on the roof opposite of Batman. Flash and Green Lantern were hiding behind the door opposite of Electric.
The Justice League only had to wait about ten minutes when they heard footsteps. "Hey sweetheart, what's the matter?" A voice asked. Electric slowly raised her head and saw the hottest man she had ever seen, except for Bruce Wayne and Superman… Electric shook her head and then hid her face back in to her knees. "What happened? Maybe I can help…" The man said.
Superman turned to Wonder Woman and asked "is that him?" Wonder Woman nodded. "Electric, that is him." Superman whispered in Electric's ear piece.
"I-I-I-" She is playing the part really well. Batman thought as he watched the man kneel in front of Electric and say in a calm steady voice, "Take a deep breath and then tell me what the matter is."
Electric took a deep breath and then said, "I had a fight with my boyfriend and he-he-"
"Did he hurt you?" The man asked and Electric nodded before bursting in to tears. The man pulled her in to his arms. It took everything Batman had in him not to leap from the rooftop and smash the guy's head in.
"Do you have anywhere to go?" The man asked and Electric shook her head. "Come with me, let's get you something warm in you. Let me buy you some coffee and something to eat okay?" Electric nodded her head and took the hand the man offered.
"What's your name, sweetheart?"
"Elle" Electric replied. "Nice to meet you, I'm Alec." The man said. The man took her to a café and ordered coffee and warm blue berry muffins. They ate and talked about each other's lives. When they were done he asked. "Are you feeling better?" Electric nodded.
"Why don't you take your hoodie off…? You don't have to if he did a number on you…" Alec said the second part when she frantically shook her head. Electric calmed down after a few minutes. "Come on, shall we go and have some fun?" Alec asked with a charming smile. Electric smiled and nodded in reply. Alec threw a fifty on to the table and then stood up and offered his hand to her. Electric took it and followed him out of the café.
He took her to a fancy hotel, brought her a drink and then took her up to a room that only the rich and powerful could afford to stay. "Wow." Electric whispered as she looked around the suite. He took her hand and led her to the balcony where the most beautiful scene of the city.
"Beautiful." She whispered. "Very beautiful." He whispered. Electric turned her head and saw that he was looking at her. She faced him and lowered her hood and she was wearing her mask. "Why are you wearing a mask?" He asked.
In the darkness on the rooftop next to the hotel Batman was using everything he had not to rip the man that was holding Electric in his arms, apart. "Easy Batman, you can have your change to rip him apart, just wait for the signal."
Electric felt her energy disappearing
"Can't make that easy for you?" She was flirting with him and that was the signal he wanted, he pressed against her back and went to kiss her neck. Electric fought very hard not push him away. She had to pretend that she was being turned on. Then with no warning he turned her to face him and he leaned down to kiss her. She could feel him draining her.
"Wait…" She whispered, trying to push him away. "I want you." He groaned in protest. "I have to show you something, I promise you it will be worth it." She said. Alec sighed and straighten up. "Well, what is it?" He asked. Electric stood up on her toes and whispered in his ear. "I know what you are."
With that said she pushed at his chest making him take a step back. She threw the hood back over her face. "I think you should know who I am…" She said and then she started to float up in to the air. Her hair turned white and so did her eyes. Electric raised her arms and clouds appeared. When she looked down she saw him staring at her with hunger. "All that power, I want it." He growled.
Electric shot a lightning ball at him knocking him off his feet. But he got straight back up and charged at her. But Electric sent bolts lightning mixed with water at him. The man flew backwards in to the wall, it looked like he was having a seizure. When he finally stopped after a few minutes he got up and charged at her again. This time he was kicked on to his back by a dark shadow.
"Stay down." The shadow growled in a scratchy voice. Just then a man in a blue suit and a red cape and an 'S' on his chest, floated down. And the woman who managed to beat the crap out of him before landed next to the man with the 'S' on his chest. Alec glared at her and then screamed "YOU!" He sprang up in to the air towards her. But he was stopped by a hand to his throat. It was the man with the 'S'.
Superman lifted the man he had by the throat. Alec looked up and down at the man that was holding him by the throat. And then he remembered the symbol on the man's chest… "You're from Krypton…" He gasped. "I was raised here on earth, but yes. "My name is Kal-El." Superman replied. The 'S' symbol on Superman's chest is Superman's people symbol for hope.
Electric rose higher to Superman, "Seriously how many names do you have?" She asked him. Superman chuckled at her. "Only three." He replied.
"Who are you people?" Alec asked when Superman dropped in him front of Batman who put a foot on his chest. "We are the Justice League." Batman replied in his scratchy voice. "You picked the wrong planet to try and take over." Flash said stopping net to Batman.
Alec grinned at the Fastest man alive and said, "I have enough power to call my people, they will be here in three days and there is nothing you people can do about it." Alec then laughed. Batman picked him up by his face and slammed him back in to the wall. "You just made the worst mistake of your life." Batman growled and then he punched Alec in the face and kneed him in the stomach, knocking Alec in to unconsciousness.
Superman and Wonder Woman took Alec to Star Labs. "We need to prepare for the invasion." Superman said when he and Wonder Woman returned to the Watch Tower. "Did he reveal anything?" Green Arrow asked. "No, only that they will be here in three days." Superman replied.
"He was scared when he saw the symbol on Superman's chest…" Electric stated. "Maybe his people knew Superman's people…" Flash suggested.
"I can talk to him…" Logan said coming in to greet his sister. "J'onn, can you go with him?" Wonder Woman asked the Martian. J'onn nodded in reply. "First thing in the morning." Batman said.
"Wait a minute, this is about my birth planet we are talking about, I'm going to question him." Superman protested. Electric went up to the Man of Steel and said, "I respect you more than anybody, you are the first superhero known, but if you question Alec, and if he doesn't answer you…" Electric didn't finish the sentence because she saw that Superman knew what she was saying… He might get frustrated and attack Alec, and Superman might not get the answers he wants and needs.
Superman sighed and nodded, "Your right Electric." He said. "Just tell Logan and J'onn what you want to ask Alec." Electric said with a smile. Superman nodded. Electric wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a sisterly hug. Superman returned the hug.
"Right now, you need to put your head in to gear, and help figure out how to stop the invasion." Electric said. "The past is over, gone and done. We need to think about the present and the future." Logan added.
Wonder Woman went up to Superman and whispered, "Let's go home and meet up again in the morning when Logan and J'onn have returned from Star labs." Superman nodded. "Go and get some sleep everyone, we need to be fresh in the morning." Superman said before claiming her mouth with his own.
Superman and Wonder Woman flew to Wonder Woman's apartment. Diana was pouring some drinks when Clark came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her up against his front. "What do you want to do now?" He asked against her neck. "Relax and have a drink…" Diana replied with a smile.
"Hmm, sounds temping, but I was thinking of something else…" Clark whispered in a husky voice. Diana smiled and turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh yeah? What were you thinking about?" She asked. Just then without warning Clark scooped her up and walked to the bedroom. "Let me show you." He saw as he walked.
The next day they got up early and went back to the Watch Tower. Electric and Batman were already there. "Logan and J'onn just left." Electric said when she saw them.
Logan and J'onn, who changed his appearance walked in to Star Labs to talk to Alec. "Why earth?" Logan asked Alec. "Why else? Humans a weak, pathetic. They are easy targets." Alec replied.
"Didn't you know about the Justice League?" Logan asked.
"No, they were supposed to be a myth, where I come from."
"And where did you come from?" J'onn asked but Alec didn't answer him. "You know he can read you mind. If you don't tell us anything he will just read your mind." Logan said with a sigh. "A human shouldn't be able to read minds…" Alec sneered.
Is this alien for real? Logan asked himself.
J'onn morphed back in to his natural green form. "I am from Mars. And you will be surprised on what the human body can handle and take…" J'onn explained. Yeah, look at Batman. Logan thought. After a minute of silence J'onn entered the alien criminal's mind.
"You are from another galaxy and your planet is dying… you are looking for a new home… You want to destroy everything on earth and take over planet." J'onn said. Alec looked surprised for a minute and then his expression went blank.
"If you think that your people are stronger than the humans on this earth, you should have been able to stop J'onn from entering your mind…" Logan stated.
"I'm not at my full strength…" Alec snapped. "If I had taken that hooded girl's soul, I would have been." Alec added. Logan had to keep his anger in control. Alec was talking about Raine.
"Call your army off." Logan growled. "It's too late… I can't… By now they are entering a worm hole, which humans call them black hole and there is no communication." A grin formed on Alec's face.
"How did you recognise the 'S' on Superman's suit?" Logan asked.
"We thought Krypton was just a myth as well. We worship them, we use their simple for hope even. To us they are gods. The story of what happened to the planet and the people on the planet was told from one generation to another… I tried to tell my people that they were real, and that there is one here on earth, but it was too late…" Alec said.
"How many of your people are coming?" J'onn asked.
"Just the soldiers, a hundred or so." Alec said. He didn't want J'onn to invade his head again.
"Your soldiers are in for a surprise then aren't they?" Logan said with a grin. "They will fight to the death. They want this planet; they will kill anyone who tries to stops them." Alec sneered back.
"We won't try to stop them." Logan said. "We WILL stop them." He added. With that said he and J'onn left, leaving Alec to think. Just as they reached the door Alec called out. "Will you kill them?" J'onn turned around and said. "We are not that type of people." J'onn replied as he changed back in to his human form. And then Logan and J'onn left.
Logan sat down next to his sister when he returned and explained what happened. "What do we do?" Ethen asked. Looking at each Justice League member.
"We prepare, and then we wait for the invasion." Superman replied.
It has been a week and the invasion still hasn't arrived… It turned out that Alec had lied to them… Superman got the truth out of him. Alec did contact his people but they didn't say when they will invade. Electric entered the training room. She practiced on controlling her energy and her powers on the target. Electric wasn't the one for patience or waiting. "She is letting her frustration out." Ethen said as he and Batman watched her from the doorway. "Take her home." Batman said.
"She refused. And we don't want to argue with her." Ethen said. Batman went over to Electric and placed a hand on her shoulder gently, but his voice was rough and scratchy. "Let's go." Electric sighed and nodded.
Batman took her to the cave. "Why did you take me here?" She asked him as she looked around. Batman pulled back the cowl to reveal Bruce Wayne. "Mr Wayne?" She asked in complete shock… It took her a moment to calm down.
"Ryan figured out who I was a while ago when you and your brothers and father stayed at the manor." Bruce said sitting down. Electric removed the hood from her head as she chuckled. "So the playboy thing is just and act…" Raine whispered.
"Yes, but I flirted with you because I like you, really like you. So does the other guy." Bruce admitted. "But why did you tell me?"
"Because I know I can trust you, and I don't want any secrets between us. Come out to lunch with me, on a date?" Raine smiled and nodded. "Let me change and we will go." Again Raine nodded and Bruce left.
"Miss Winters, would you like to wait in the house, you might be more comfortable…" Alfred's voice came from nowhere making her jump. Raine followed him out of the cave to the manor to find that it is raining. Just then Bruce came up and she nodded at the window. "It just started I'm afraid." Alfred said.
"We can always stay here, Alfred, do you mind whipping something up?" Bruce asked. "Right away sir, any requests?" Alfred replied.
"Anything you make is delicious." Raine said with a smile. Alfred smiled and nodded started to gather some ingredients. Bruce led her in to the main living room. He flirted with her and she flirted with him. "How are your father and uncle?" Bruce asked.
"Very well, Uncle Ian has gotten his job back in construction. Dad is back at the hospital. Ryan is loving school, despite the school work, he loves it. He has made a lot of friends."
"I heard about Logan, Jason and Ethen, they are back at work… What about you?" Bruce asked. "Lucius asked me if I want to work as his assistant permanently… I said yes." Raine smiled. Bruce returned the smile with his own. "Good, but how are you all doing psychically and mentally?" He asked.
"We are very well…Thanks to you and the League." Raine replied.
"You did it all by yourself, you and your family; we didn't do anything." Bruce said in complete honesty.
"But if you had persisted and annoyed the crap out me, we don't be here alive right now." Raine placed a hand over his. Bruce picked up her hand and lifted it to his mouth and gently kissed it. "I lost my parents when I was eight and that night was the worst night of my life…" Bruce started, but he had to pause for a minute. Raine went over to him and rested her head on his shoulder, Bruce wrapped an arm around her.
"That is why you out on that mask…" She stated. "So it doesn't happen to anybody else." She added. "Yes, that is the major part of the reason… Crime was much worse here in Gotham back then, it was terrible…"
"And thanks to Batman, the crime rate as gone down. Blüdhaven is the most dangerous city in the world. Gotham is the second. Metropolis is the safest." Raine said. Bruce nodded in agreement. "I thought that a child losing their parents is the worst thing that could happen, and it is. But when your own mother wants to kill you and your brothers…" Bruce paused again when Raine raised her head and she looked in his eyes. Bruce leaned forward kissed her lips gently. When she responded he deepened the kiss. Raine wrapped her arms around his neck and his hands were holding her up against him.
When they finally pulled apart for much needed air. "I didn't plan that to happen…" Bruce whispered. "Well… not yet anyway…" He grinned.
"I'm glad it happened though." Raine said staring at his mouth. He smiled and kissed her again.
"Me too." He whispered against her mouth and then deepened the kiss.
I'm going to end it there for now.
I'm deeply sorry for the long wait.
Please review.
