Read. Review. Enjoy


Diana (Black Canary) was about to sit up when she got stuck in a coughing fit for the 8th time today. Her throat was so sore; she couldn't even budge a small tweak of her Canary Cry. She was fine last night when Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson had come back from their trip but this morning she could hardly breathe. Her head started spinning again but she managed to sit up on the couch she was laying on in the living room near the kitchen.

She rested her head back as she tried to keep calm when she was awakened by a loud burst of laughter.

"No-hah- No way man you TOTALLY lost!" and they gasped for breath and started laughing again.

"What do you mean?" another voice said, "I clearly won!"

"Just stop it!" a third voice came up.

Diana stretched her head to the right to see if she could see who was having so much fun. NOT to her surprise, two red heads and a raven haired boy emerged from down the hall.
She smiled at them and sneezed.
"Aw hey Aunt Diana! Are you okay?" Roy asked looking at the dark circles under her eyes and the redness of her cheeks and nose.
"Ya *achoo* I'm fine..."
"You don't look fine..." Wally murmured a bit too loudly.
"No really I'm-" Diana was about to protest but was stuck in yet another coughing fit.
At first the boys were disgusted but after seeing the pain in her eyes, it turned into sympathy and they felt sorry for her.
"Aunt Diana!" Dick exclaimed, "As the boy wonder and Batman's partner in crime, I command you to go your room this instant and take a rest! You need it!" Dick glanced at the clock which read 10 till 1, "and don't worry about your food, we'll make you a nice bowl of soup right now but first you must go!" Dick said as he pointed down the hall. Diana smiled a little at the boy's strong yet small commanding tone.
"Alright..." she chuckled as she walked down the hall. When she was out of sight, Roy leaned over to Dick and asked "So how do you make soup?"

As they walked to the kitchen they heard loud, terrible coughing. No it couldn't be Black Canary because this coughing sounded very deep and manly. It was from a member of the league they didn't talk too much because he was always too busy swimming with fish; Aquaman.
"Woa are you okay?" Dick asked as he looked up at the man in orange.
"Just a light, what do you call it... cough? Yes just a small cough or cold I suppose." And with that Aquaman kept coughing down the hallway. The three shared a confused look and kept walking.

Roy grabbed a bowl, a spoon, and a napkin. He took the empty bowl over to the stove and set it next to the pot of soup Wally was stirring. Wally was very tense and concentrated, he was pouring the soup in very carefully when he was startled by a loud noise and the spoon of soup went flying sending warm tomato stuff everywhere.
"Bless you!" Dick said as he turned to see the green hooded vigilante walk in the kitchen sniffling.
"Th-thank you..." he said as he closed his eyes and sat at one of the small wooden tables pressing the side of his head. Wally on the other hand was clearly irritated as he picked up a rag, got on his knees, and cleaned up the soup spill that was everywhere. When Green Arrow started wheezing that's when Dick knew something was wrong; but he put the thought aside and decided to tell his two friends later.
"Would you like a bowl of soup that Wally made? It'll be really good and soothing for your cough!" Dick asked with a smile.
Wally washed the rag then nodded over his shoulder as he continued stirring,
"Ya, once Aunt Iris was sick and Uncle Barry was out being 'Flash' so she told me how to make this really good soup for colds and after she had it, she was better than ever!"
Before the hero could answer, Roy had gave him a spoon full of it to try. Oliver put the spoon in his mouth and smiled.
"Alright," he chuckled, "I'll take a bowl later. Thanks kids." He sneezed a few times then got up and left. Wally looked into the pot once again and realized that spill had cost him 75% of his good tomato soup; he look the pot and left it in the sink.
After Dick was sure he had gone, he turned to his friends and nonchalantly told them, " hey guys, Uncle Ollie's condition looks like mine yesterday," the red heads stopped and stared at the boy in confusion, "like you know how yesterday day I came back from my trip to Dumrekastan? And how I was stuck in my room all day and everyone was coming in but they didn't let you guys in? It's because I had this terrible Durmekian flu from this rare flower that only grows in that country. I went and smelled the flower and when we got back I had a high fever, coughing, sneezing, headache, wheezing and random arm spasms.
Luckily my dad err I mean Batman had brought a reverse dose in case or else I might've died. For a second I thought that the leaguers had it but then I was like 'Nahhh' heh so you guys don't think they have it right?"
"Nahhhh!" They answered together and laughed.

"You look terrible!" Superman exclaimed as he looked up and down at Flash. Flash's eyes were just barely open as he walked into the monitor womb about to say something to Batman, who was on the computer but when he walked he just collapsed.


When Flash woke up, he was laying on a bed in the medical room of Watchtower with Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman watching over him and reading his health stats.
"Obviously he was too close to Dick when we brought him home with that flu yesterday..." Batman whispered to Superman and Wonder Woman.

"What happened?" Flash said slowly and failed at his attempt to sit up.

"You're sick." Batman said with no inflection in his voice, "you've caught the Durmekian flu otherwise known as "death flower." It is severely viral and can lead to death within 36 hours, you only have 12."

"Then what the heck are you guys doing close to me?!" Flash pulled his blanket over his face, "get away!"

"Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter are all immune to it and Green Lantern can create an inner shield for himself when he's around the flu. I have taken a temporary dose of an immunity serum." Batman replied, not looking up from the clipboard in his hands.

"What he's trying to say is..." Superman covered for him, "is that you're probably not the only one with the flu. Maritain Manhunter is walking around looking for other sick people. After he gets a count, the five of us are going to fly to Dumrekastan and get the cure for all of you!" He smiled.

"But what is the cure?" Flash asked simply out of curiosity.

"You take the flower itself, dry it, grind it into a power, then mix it with sugar and olive oil and eat it." Wonder Woman answered as she checked the heart monitor to the side once again.
There was a brief silence before the doors of the room opened and Martian Manhunter came in.

"There are five humans with the flu. The rest of the super beings have not yet checked back in the Watchtower since yesterday meaning they have no chance of having the flu. The five beings are Aquaman, Black Canary, Hawkgirl, Green Arrow, and the one known as Captain Marvel are all showing the symptoms you described." Maritain Manhunter walked to Flash's bed and stood next to Batman.

"So that means they have it too..." Batman confirmed to himself and thought for a bit, "okay, Superman, go call Green Lantern. We're going to Dumrekastan."


"So I have to WHAT?" Roy exclaimed as he followed Batman. Wally and Dick were in-step behind the young archer as Batman walked to the Bio-Ship where 4 other Leaguers were waiting.

"Nothing major, just wet towels for their foreheads, thermometers..." Batman said as he stuffed some weapons into his utility belt and grabbed a black bag.

"Bu-But how can I?" Roy stammered.

"This may sound cliché but, the League rests in your hands Roy. Take care of them." Batman said as he stepped into the Bio-ship with Superman at his side.

"What about OUR hands!?" Dick laughed and stuck his hands out as he jumped from behind Roy, "do they rest in our hands too?"

The two boys giggled and high-fived. Batman sighed though Superman smiled at their innocence.

"You two do not understand how serious this matter-"

"Yes! Your hands have to be the strongest of all Robin!" Superman shouted over the starting engines, cutting Batman off, "Good Luck!"

"I'm trusting you ROY!" Batman shouted as the door closed and the ship took off.

Dick and Wally were too busy laughing that they didn't realize how stunned Roy was.

"He trusts me..." Roy murmured under his breath sending a wide smile across his face.

"Bye!" Superman called as the door slammed and they took off. Batman paced to the controls and sat next to Green Lantern who was managing another set of controls.
Clark stood behind them for a few minutes as the ship left the watchtower and headed for the Earth's atmosphere; he looked outside the giant front window and saw the land turn from tiny specs to patches of land and so on. This "Bio-Ship" was designed, engineered, and BUILT by Batman; every gear every screw every inch of it came from DaddyBats. It had a main control center which had 2 handheld controls and a "Martian Chair" as Superman chose to call it, where Martian Manhunter could sit and control the ship with his mind. In front was a giant, bulletproof screen of glass so the other members on board could see outside. The exterior had mirror camouflage technology and could blend into practically and area which made the ship foolproof.
He had finished building it just about a month ago and had taken it for a few test runs around Gotham, fixed the kinks, and even used it on a mission once; but this mission had to be their most important one yet. Green Lantern and Batman were hand controlling and Martian Manhunter was sitting in the "Martian chair." Superman stood there pondering a question when he could no longer keep it inside himself and was forced to break the silence.

"So why did you tell Flash he had 12 hours to live? We all know the truth is-"

"The truth is," Batman said firmly and angrily without looking at The Man of Steel, "if I told Flash and the other leaguers that they barely had 3 hours to live they would've died right there due to shock."

And the ship fell silent.


"So Black Canary's room is in the middle, Flash is at the very end, Green Arrow is in the other hallway, Aquaman is on the other end of that hallway and... and wait who's that other guy?" Roy asked as he drew a map of the rooms that they would be attending to.

"Cap... Captain..?" Dick hesitated.

"Captain Marvel!" Wally exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah that's it..." Roy drew another room and labeled it. He held it up for the three boys to see the map which had the five, sick leaguers names, room location, and colored them by superhero costume color. The boys were immune and the adults had all caught it virally from Dick; he was cured now but when he was sick, so many Leaguers had grieved over the sweet boy in such a harsh condition. While others were busy fighting only a few could make the time to see him and those were the ones who were sick today.

"Well what do we do now?" Wally asked.

"How bout we go room to room telling those heroes we'll be assisting them today!" Roy suggested.

"Ya!" Dick cheered.

The left the table in the kitchen they were at and stated off towards one end of the hallway.


After a long back and forth conversation of "you go first!" "No you go first!" Not remembering exactly whose room this was, Roy inhaled, knocked, and opened the door. Lucky for them it was the beautiful Black Canary; they shot next to her bed and stood where she laid awake, wide eyed with smiles a mile wide. The three boys had told eachother (but NEVER anyone else especially not their mentors) that they all really really liked her. They spent countless hours fighting who would end up marrying her, or who got to date her first; stuff like that.
Roy gawked at her flowing blonde hair (and since he was older) her marvelous hips and body structure.
Wally loved the way she spoke with her soft and gentle tone (when she wasn't using her cry) that let her words devour him and cover him like silk. And her face, oh her complexion! Her red lips and sparkling blue eyes killed him (and the other two) dead as a doornail!
Richard simply loved the way she smiled. Her heart filled, genuine, friendly smile just made him melt!
They marveled at her for what seemed like a century (which in reality was just over 2 minutes)
Black Canary on the other hand was quite confused at why the young boys were looking at her so awkwardly. She snapped in front of their faces and repeated "hello! Hello?" But there was no reply; just the same swooned expressions.
After a few more seconds, Dick snapped back to reality, sending his hands in the air smacking the other two boys in the face.

"Woah! What did ya do that for you-" Roy shouted in rage as he and Wally gained balance when Roy realized who else was in the room, "oh umm I mean... hey Ms. Diana..." Roy said in his deepest most romantic and mature voice as he leaned on the frame of her bed coolly.

"Yeah..." Wally smiled as he walked to the other side of her bed (Wally was now on one side, Roy was on the other and Dick stood at the foot of her bed) "today WE'RE in charge!"

"They mean that you are one of the people infected with the Durmekian flu I brought," Dick explained, "and if another HUMAN leaguer comes in, they'll catch it too and all the extra-terrestrial members have gone with batman so basically we're the only ones here to help you and 5 other members." he said professionally.

Diana chuckled, slightly nervous yet slightly amused knowing her caretakers were 8, 10, and 13, "well I know Batman left me and the others in good hands!"
The boys blushed at the way she smiled at them.
"We'll have some soup out for you in just about 20 minutes okay?" Roy added, she smiled again and nodded.
Then she started coughing this horrendous, heavy cough that made the boys cringe every time she gasped for air. When she stopped, they swooned once more before they headed out the door as she waved at them then grabbed a tissue and started sneezing.

They walked into Green Arrows room and told him the same as they had told Black Canary (except they weren't drooling over him) and they had somehow sparked a hilarious 5 minute conversation about a "pancake evolution" and they would've continued it if it weren't for the coughing fit Oliver was stuck in; the three boys exited the room awkwardly and left the man to his cough.

They had pleasant talk with Hawkgirl about the soup and that they would be "attending to her" and 5 other members. The conversation was awkward until Wally asked if it was difficult to sleep with wings on; then laughter began. Hawkgirl was laughing very hard as they left over something Roy said; but when they closed the door they could hear from the outside how her laughter turned into intense coughing.

Dick opened the door.

"Hey uncle flash! How ya doin!?" Roy laughed.

"Go-good..." he grabbed a tissue as he sneezed into his sleeve then sneezed two more times into his tissue.

"You can hardly speak!" The raven haired boy exclaimed as the three walked to his bedside.
Wally felt a pang of sadness run through him as he saw his mentor in such an unbearable state. He sat down next to his mentor, threw his hands around his sides and placed his head under Flash's chin.

"You'll be okay won't you?" The young boy asked softly.

"I'll be back to normal in a FLASH!" Barry joked.

The three boys laughed along and told him that they would be bringing him soup in a minute and if he needed anything else they would be at his side.

After a long hesitation, Roy opened the next door to the unfamiliar leaguers room.

"Hello... sir?" They said and walked in hesitantly.

"Hey guys!" They saw a small child sitting up on a bed.
The three were utterly confused; Captain Marvel was very new and they hardly knew anything about him, but where was he?

"Umm who are you?" Wally asked crossly and folded his arms.

"Well... I am... oh! Sorry!" He looked down at himself and laughed, "I'm so sick I can hardly keep up with my powers. If I transform it'll only be for a little bit. Here I'll show you!" He said as he jumped out of bed happily, you wouldn't have thought he was sick if it wasn't for his congested nose; whoever this kid was he was very energetic.

"SHAZAM!" he exclaimed, startling the three boys with the loud boom of thunder and the flash of lighting.
The kid was not a kid anymore. There was a big, buff, man in a red suit with a lightning bolt across his chest and a short cape flowed over his shoulders.

"WH-WHERE DID THE KID GO!?" The three exclaimed in unison.

"It... it's me!" The grown man laughed, he suddenly sneezed into his sleeve and the small boy appeared again. The red heads and the raven haired boys stood there; stunned. They had actually never had a formal introduction to whomever this "Captain Marvel" was but right now everything was rather stunning. They stood there, motionless, jaw-dropped at what they had just witnessed (they had never before seen a man change hid age so quickly so this was all very sudden) but the boy kept smiling. He sat in his bed and smiled at them though, after a while he started to feel weird and their blank expressions.

"Oh... well hey guys? I'm sorry if I scared you or anything," he said kindly and softly, "I know I'm new here and I really didn't mean that it's just-"

"WOAHHHH!" Dick squealed, "That! WAS! AWESOME!"

"CAN YOU DO IT AGAIN?" Roy asked.

"WE WON'T TELL ANYONE!" Wally added excitedly.

The boy laughed and the three joined him this time.

"Okay! Well as long as you promise not to tell!" He laughed again.

They spent 20 minutes talking to Billy, about being a kid, how it was like, how his powers worked, all that fun crazy stuff. Though none the less, Billy was still sick, and since he was half adult half kid, he caught the sickness as an adult and it stayed in his body even if he was a child. They thanked him for his company and told them they would be assisting him if he needed ANYTHING.

Now the time had come for the last leaguer. The one they didn't know well and they were sure he wouldn't like them. They walked in anyways.

"Hello sir..." Roy said rather formally, "I am Roy Harper, Speedy, Green Arrows sidekick and-"

"I know very well who you all are and what are your capabilities," Aquaman replied firmly, "you do not need to reassure me."

"Umm well okay..." Wally said awkwardly, "well if you need anything for the next few hours, were here to help you."

"Ya Batman left and told us we had to take care of you!" Dick chuckled nervously.

"Psshhh..." Aquaman scoffed and turned his face away, "children are nothing but a useless... and a-" before he could finish his door was slammed and the boys were gone.

"I don't like him!" Dick pouted on the way to the kitchen, "he's mean and rude and..." his voice cracked as he felt a tear about to come out of his eye though he swallowed it back.

"He didn't even smile or say thank you!" Wally said sadly.

"Whatever!" Roy said happily, "we got better nicer people to worry about! Let's get to work!" They entered the kitchen.


They landed the ship in a clean patch of grass. As they exited onto the grass, Bruce thought about why had and Dick had been here just a few days ago:
The Durmekian government had decided to take a 49-acre patch of untouched land and turn it into a nature trail. The reason Wayne Enterprises had to be there is because they were using Wayne Tech so Bruce had come there as a sponsor. They had blocked off the area with the poisonous flower but Dick had to be "oh so curious" and go check it out anyways.

The other members came out of the ship behind him and they came to a circle, waiting for Batman's orders.

"Okay," he started, "we split up and we look for the flower, Maritain Manhunter, you-" then a certain sound pierced his ears and stopped the hearts of the others. Batman turned in a circle to see 50 or so men, cocking their guns, aiming at them, ready to fire.

"Hold on with the plan..." he added coldly.
