Chapter 6

I watched as Black Adam and the rest of the justice league got ready to face off, power crackled through the air as Black Adam began to gather energy to do what I didn't know but I had a pretty good idea that whatever it was, it wouldn't be good.

"STOP!" I screamed and jumped in between them and held my arms out to either side stopping them all from fighting.

"If you swear not to hurt anyone or damage anything else I'll tell you what you need to know." I said to Black Adam and mentally prayed that he would listen.

Black Adam stared at me for a long moment before he spoke.

"I give you my word of honor that if you give me the information I want then I will not harm anyone or damage anything."

Slowly I put my arms down and began to lead Black Adam away from the group of superheroes, I hadn't even made it ten steps before batman stopped me by gripping my upper arm painfully.

"What do you think you're doing?" he demanded, his masked face only inches from mine.

"Stopping a massacre before it begins." I snapped and using what little TK I had shoved him away from me, causing him to land face first on the floor.

Walking past everyone, I lead Black Adam into my room and reinforced the door with TK so Batman couldn't barge in, I threw myself into a plush chair and let out a long sigh of frustration as Black Adam made himself comfortable.

'And to think I use to look up to that arrogant mother fucker,' I thought to myself as Black Adam started at me with those dark colored eyes.

I couldn't help but notice that he was very handsome with short cropped black hair, dark bedroom eyes and tanned muscled body it was no wonder why Isis had fallen for him so quickly, then again she had been on many advances with him before she had fallen in love with him so maybe there was more to this man then his good looks and power.

"I have enlisted Faust to help me bring he back." He said and blinking I forced myself to focus.

"You're still missing her ring finger?" I asked as I tried to remember all of the details.

At his nodded, I tried to figure out how to tell him what would happen if he stayed on this path. I mean how did you tell a loving husband who only wanted his beloved wife back, that if he brought her back from the grave that she wouldn't be the same person and would end up as the sex slave to an evil asshole?

"You will have many options to bring her back but before I tell you anything about that, I need to tell you something important." I said. "You don't want to hear it but I have to tell you anyways…when a person dies it is sometimes best for them and for the people w=that are left behind for them to stay dead."

He flew at me, his large hand gripped my jaw painfully and dragged me close to him until I was face to face with him, and his face was a mask of rage and pain mixed with an overwhelming lose in his eyes. Black Adam had loved his wife as he had loved his family before her, I understood wanting to bring back loved ones from the grave better than most but I also knew that death was peace, and should not be messed with.

"I know it's hard." I whispered. "I know you loved her and miss her, but don't pity the dead Teth Adam, pity the living. Do you really want to bring her back into a world filled with pain and suffering after she has known true peace?"

He was still pissed but now he was listening to me and I rushed get to my point.

"She will never be the women you fell in love with Teth Adam, something inside of her will be left behind in the afterlife."

His grip wasn't as painful as before, but I knew I would have a huge bruise after this was done. He looked like he wanted to believe me but need to be pushed more.

"On your first attempt she will crumble into dust swearing hatred and revenge against you, the second attempt she will come back but…different. She will eventually want to wipe all life off of the face of the earth…does that sound like the women you loved?" I demand.

He let go of me so fast that I almost fell but just managed to keep my felt from face planting.

"Death is peace Teth Adam, let her rest and be at peace."

He said nothing as he turned to stare out one of the windows, not seeing the dark voided of space or stars as he though.

"If what you say is true then I am a fool for trying to bring back my love….but I am selfish how can I let her go?" He demanded and I could hear the pain and lose in his tone.

For all of Black Adam's past deeds you could not call him a heartless monster, he had loved his wife with everything in him and had been loved just as fiercely and as deep. Part of me wondered if he would ever find another Isis…if he did then she won't be good enough for him.

"If you really loved her…you'll let her go." I said.

He nodded after a while and turned back to face me.

"I injured you." He said and reached out to gently cup my jaw, I flinched at the contacted. My jaw hurt so badly that I wondered if he had managed to crack it or not.

"Don't move." He said as a warm energy pulsed lightly over the area that the bruise was forming in.

I sucked in a deep breath as the magic spread warmth over my jaw and the pain began to fade, Black Adam didn't take his eyes off of me nor did he remove his hand when the magic finally stopped. We stood like that neither speaking nor moving, I think neither of us wanted this moment of peace to end but as with so much in my life we were interrupted by the sound of loud banging at my door and the others yelling at me to open the door.

"Come with me." He said and I blinked in surprise.

"What?"

"Come with me and help me find Faust. I may no longer wish to bring Isis back from the grave but he will have no trouble in bring her back as a slave." He said and held a hand out to me.

I hesitated, did I really want to put my trust into this man who walked the line between good and evil as thinly as this man did? But then again did I wanted to stay here and risk the others trying to mess with the future?

I placed my hand in his and there was a flash of lighting and energy….then everything went black.
