A.n I own Nothing

Please Review

Once Alucard had left Superman, Hawk Girl and Flash left the military camp with Black Hawk and his team, they followed them back they're secret base Black Hawk Island; an Island in the pacific. Once there Black Hawk explained his plan to the Justice league. Superman, Hawk Girl and Flash were to take out three heavily armed Anti-Air craft guns surrounding a factory of great importance and once the guns were taken out Black Hawk could make an attack run destroying the factory.

Superman and Hawk Girl both considered it an easy target and the Leaguewas waiting for Black Hawks team to get ready and re-fuel there planes. Flash and Superman watched from the side while Hawk Girl answered questions about her wings to the pilots and helped with some of preparations.

"Hey any word from any of the others yet?" Flash asked.

Superman shook his head.

"None, but that's to be expected," Superman answered.

"It is?"

"Well our coms don't work, there's no satiate or watchtower to communicate with," Superman pointed out "and even if there were I doubt they'd be able to pick up the signal we use,"

Flash blinked a few times and he realised that Superman was right.

"Oh right...I can't believe I didn't think of that," Flash said sheepishly.

"Despite that I'm sure they're all fine," Superman assured "I bet Alucard has found John already and their on their way back now,"

"Yeah...you're probably right," Flash said sadly "But how will they know where we are?"

"I left a message for him back at that military camp we were at, the man in charge said he would pass it along,"

Flash nodded, they continued to watch and once preparations were complete they headed out. It only took about an Hour for the planes to reach their destination and once they were close Black Hawk singled Superman and Hawkgirl to start the attack while his team hung back out of range.

The Germans saw them coming and instantly began firing the anti-air craft guns, Hawk Girl avoided the rapid gunfire with ease and smashed the first one with her mace. Superman just flew through the bullets and they bounced off him, he flew straight down and when he was right in front of the gun he ripped it out of the grouped and tossed it aside like it was nothing.

Flash however ignored the last gun and had zipped into the factory, once inside he saw many many men building what looked like a large engine of some kind, he wasn't really paying attention as his main priority was to get the workers out before Blackhawk mad his attack run.

Flash tried to tell them to run but since he did not speak German the workers did not understand him; he spied the fire alarm and triggered it. Once the alarm was blaring the works instantly began to evacuate.

Outside both Superman and Hawkgirl made their way over to the last gun, since they were both on ground level they walked over to it. Superman stood in front of it with Hawkgirl behind him taking the bullets, they were waiting for Flash to finish the evacuation.

Once the last worker was clear the two easily destroyed the last gun before flying up and giving the signal to Black Hawk. Once the pilots started they're attack the factory was destroyed in a matter of minutes as all five planes dropped several bobs on it and the Leagueand the workers watched from a safe distance.

"Good Job on getting these people out Flash," Superman complimented.

"Yeah they maybe Germans but there not soldiers," Flash said "They don't deserve to be casualties of war,"

"But you can't win a war without them," Hawk Girl pointed out.

"True but that doesn't mean you should make more casualties," Flash claimed.

"But what if a whole race was at stake...what if making more casualties...more sacrifices was the only way to survive?" Hawk Girl asked.

"Hawk Girl a race is at stake here...in this war the Germans wanted to wipe out everyone who did not share their beliefs or who were diffident,"

"Really?" Hawk girl asked.

"Yeah and even though they tired and came close to it they still failed and there are a lot of people around our present that survived this war and those who were different still continued to flourish,"

"But surly countless people died in this war," Hawk Girl said.

"They did but they died fighting for what they believed in, killing off innocent bystanders isn't sacrifice or casualties...its murder,"

"Genocide is more like it in this case," Flash commented.

"If victory means sacrifice a whole race or wiping out anyone who has no stake in a war or isn't even part of it that would make us no better than the Germans," Superman claimed.

"Yeah, there's always another way, you just have to look for it," Flash said.

"I see...who started this war?" Hawkgirl asked.

"The Germans did," Flash answered "they started the last one too,"

"Wait…there was another war before this one?"

"There have been a few but none on this scale…that's why it's called World War II," Flash claimed.

"The First World War wasn't as big but it was the first major conflict that most of the world was involved in," Superman explained "and the Germans started that war too,"

"So the Germans started two massive wars…and lost both?" Hawk Girl asked.

Both Flash and Superman nodded.

"Why would they start a second one after losing the first…didn't they learn their lesson the first time round?" Hawk Girl asked.

Before either Superman or Flash could answer Black Hawk and his team landed nearby and they walked over to join the Justice League; the pilots stared at the factory burning.

"I wonder what they were working here," Black Hawk commented.

"I saw them working on some kind of engine," Flash answered.

"An engine...what kind?" Hawk Girl asked.

"Let's see if it survived," Superman said.

"You'd have to wait till the fire goes out," Black Hawk pointed out.

"No I don't," Superman said as his eyes turned blue and he scanned the rubble with his X-ray vison, looking for any signs of an engine surviving.

"Found something," Superman said.

He flew over factory and took a deep breath and blew out the flames.

"How….did he do that?" Black Hawk asked impressed but weary at the same time.

"Putting fires out is easy for us, we deal with more destructive disasters on a daily bases," Hawk Girl claimed.

Superman then landed and began to effortlessly toss some remains away until he found what he was looking for. The others came over.

"That's it," Flash said.

"That's a jet engine," Hawk Girl claimed.

"But...these weren't invited till years after the war," Flash claimed.

"Aeon said that time was messed up…maybe this is what we're supposed to fix," Superman theorised "But what would the German need jets for?"

Flash and Hawk Girl shrugged there shoulders as they had no clue.

"What's a Jet?" Black Hawk asked.

"It's a really really fast plane," Flash answered.

"Could the German be trying to advice there air force," Black Hawks suggested.

"I would think that too...only this engine isn't for a fighter plane," Superman claimed truing to the engine "this is way too big,"

"How about we ask them," Black Hawk said and turned to the workers who Flash had saved.

"We...uh...We don't speak German," Flash said sheepishly.

"I know how to say hello and I am here to help," Superman claimed "but that's about it,"

"I speak it, as do the rest of my team," Black Hawk said "we all learnt so I could understand the transmissions that we intercept,"

"Plus being from countries occupied by the Axis we needed to learn what they were saying,"

"Oh...right...That's a good reason to learn," Flash said "do you speak Japanese and Italian too?"

"Of course," Black Hawk claimed before he headed over to where the workers were.

Black Hawk started talking to the workers, when he was done he went came back over to the Justice League.

"So they don't know what they were building or what it was for. They claimed because they were not able to fight they were taken and forced to build the engines," Black Hawk claimed.

"Are there any other factories like this in the area?" Superman asked.

Black Hawk shook his head.

"They don't know, but they claim that if the war leaders learn that they survived they fear they will be treated as deserters," Black Hawk said.

"What...that's insane," Hawk girl yelled.

She did not know the punishment for deserting the army on this planet but she assumed it would be similar to what was on Thanagar.

"Even though they were not drafted as Soldiers they will be treated as such," Black Hawk claimed.

"We can't just leave them here then, the solders will find them for sure," Superman claimed.

"But where would we take them? There is no where they could go where High Command won't find them," Black Hawk stated.

"Don't you lot have a secret pacific Island base?" Flash asked.

"Yes but...how would we get them there?" Black Hawk asked "our planes are only one man fighters and we don't have any that would carry them all to safety. Even if we did we would be targeted by the German air force,"

"Leave that to me," Superman smiled.

"What does that mean?" Black Hawk asked.

He didn't get a response as Superman used his Super Speed and Strength to swiftly clear the derbies and gather all the usable mental beams and parts that were left. Black Hawk, his team and the German engineers watched in awe as Superman worked, however they only saw a red and blue blur as Superman was moving too fast for their eyes to follow.

"He's...so fast," Black Hawk claimed.

Flash looked at him with a raised eyebrow, he was the only one who could clearly see what Superman was doing; he leaned over to Black Hawk.

"For the record, I'm faster," Flash said.

"Really?" Black Hawk asked in surprise.

"Yep much faster," Flash smirked.

Once Superman had got all the metal he needed in a pile, he then began to circle the pile bending everything and using his heat vision to meld the metal together. Like before those watching apart from Flash only saw a red and blue blur; only now the hot stream of Superman's heat vision was added into the mix.

Within 30 seconds he had created a giant metal bowl nearly 15 feet high and the Man of Steel stopped next to Black Hawk to admire his creation.

"That should do it," Superman said with satisfaction.

"It's...a giant metal bowl," Hawk Girl observed "Why would you make a giant metal bowl?"

"To carry the engineers to safety of course," Superman said like it was obvious.

"Safety?" Black Hawk asked.

Superman nodded.

"Right, we can't leave them here for the German troops to find them and you said it yourself that your planes can't carry them," Superman explained "So I'll carry them with this,"

"But why is it bowl shaped?" Hawk Girl asked.

"Simple, so they won't fall out and the thick metal will stop the winds from freezing them at higher altitudes,"

"What about pressure?" Flash asked "It won't stop that,"

"I'll fly low," Superman shrugged.

Flash and Hawk Girl nodded in approval, with this large bowl they could defiantly get the engineers to safety.

"This is all well and good but where exactly will you take them?" Black Hawk asked.

"To your Island of course," Superman said.

"Our Island...Our Island is a secret base; we do not just let anyone on it,"

"You let Flash on it," Hawk Girl stated flatly "I'm pretty sure you've thrown your standards went out the window,"

"Hey," Flash whined.

"I understand you have your reservations but if you leave them out here they will die," Superman said with understanding "Besides these guys are engineers, I bet they could probably help with maintaining your planes. They could probably upgrade them too,"

Black Hawk thought about what the Man of Steel was saying and he could defiantly see the benefits of bringing them back to their island. He sighed and turned back to the rescued engineers and started speaking in German once again.

The engineers responded and Black Hawk turned back to the League.

"I just asked them if they would like to work for us for the reminder of the war," Black Hawk explained "I explained that we would keep them safe and once the war is over we would take them home,"

"Did they agree?" Flash asked.

"Yes they did," Black Hawk nodded.

"Good, can you tell them I'll be carrying them in this to the Island," Superman said and gestured to the giant metal bowl.

"I can but...are you sure you can carry such a thing?" Black Hawk asked unsure "It must weigh a ton,"

"Several tons actually, but I use meteor's as weights and buildings as baseball bats. Trust me when I say I can carry it," Superman claimed.

"Vat is Base Ball?" André asked. Black Hawk shrugged in response.

Black Hawk translated what Superman had said and both Superman and Hawk Girl spent the next several minutes flying the engineers into the bowl. Flash also decided to get in as well so he wouldn't have to run back to the Black Hawks Island as he wanted to save his energy.

Once everyone was in Superman lifted the bowl and placed it on his back and flew off into the air, Hawk Girl flew with him while Black Hawk and his team flew high above them, keeping a look out for German fighters.

Thankfully they did not meet any German mitlery on their way back and everyone made it to Black Hawk Island safe and sound. Black Hawks team laded first so they could use the runway and once all the planes had landed Superman gently placed the bowl down on the runway; he then flew up to the opening at that top and looked inside.

"We've arrived, is everyone alright?" he asked.

The German engineers looked up at him blankly, not understanding what the Man of Steel had said.

"We're all good," Flash responded.

"Right, once Hawk Girl gets down here we'll start unloading the passengers," Superman said.

Hawk Girl landed a few seconds later and like before she and Superman carried the passengers out of the bowl. The engineers were all fine and a bit perplexed about how Superman could carry them all but they were overall fine.

"So enjoy your flight?" Hawk Girl asked Flash once everyone had been air lifted out of the bowl.

"Well now I know what fruit feels like," Flash commented.

Superman chuckled at that.

Suddenly Black Hawk came running up to them.

"You need to move these people and the bowl off the runway, we need to take off now," Black Hawk said urgently.

"Why? What's wrong?" Superman asked.

"We just got a message from one of our spy's, the Germans have launched a massive aerial invasion force," Black Hawk claimed.

"Where are they going?" Hawk Girl asked.

"America,"

"So that's why these people were building Jet engines," Hawk Girl realised.

"Didn't future bats say that the Germans invaded America on D-Day?" Flash remembered.

"Yeah but it's too early for that, the D-day invasion won't take place for another four and a half months," Superman pointed out.

"Doesn't matter, we need warn the good guys," Flash said. He then turned to Black Hawk "which way is west?"

Black Hawk was unsure what the Justice League was talking about but he turned and pointed in a westward direction.

"That way but..." Black Hawk did not get to finish his sentence as Flash took off in that direction leaving a trail of dust behind him.

Black Hawk blinked a few times and then turned to look at Superman and Hawk Girl.

"Where's he going?" he asked.

"Going to warn the Americans," Superman answered "I'll move the bowl and then we'll follow him,"

"Right, my team will be right behind you as soon as we get the runway clear," Black Hawk said.

Superman nodded, he lifted the Metal bowl and tossed it away over his shoulder. It landed on the beach not far from the Air failed. He and Hawk Girl then flew up into the sky heading west. Black Hawk watched them go before turning back and heading back into his base and to the communication room.

One there he picked up the receiver and put on the head phones.

"Agent 00 this is Wing Commander, do you copy?" Black Hawk spoke into the receiver.

"Yep, still here," a cocky British voice came through.

"My team and I will be heading out to intercept the invasion force in 15 minutes," Black Hawk claimed "We will send someone to pick you up afterwards,"

"Alright thanks and don't worry about me, I'll be fine until you and your team take care of it," Agent 00 said happily "Oh and just so you know when I get back I have a story for you that you won't believe,"

Black Hawk tuned and looked out the window to the sky in the direction that both Superman and Hawk Girl had gone.

"I look forward to hearing it. But surly it can't be as unbelievable as the story I have to tell you too," Black Hawk responded.
