"Gah." Flash looks over himself covered in green goop as he glares at Hawkgirl. "You couldn't wait one second. " She shrugs sheepishly.
"Oh, Flash, it's not so bad." Green Lantern, Hal, says as he softly patted Flash's back.
"Sorry Flash. I didn't think it would back lash when I electrocuted him." Hawkgirl says as she lands on the ground in front of Flash.
"Right. It's okay. I'm not really mad at ya. It's Wally. We had a huge fight this morning."
"What about bro." Flash looks at Green Lantern before he sighs.
"I don't know when he became so defiant. He thinks I'm treating him like a kid. "
"Um Flash, newsflash, he is a goddamn kid. Them kids need to have a conversation with a fist."
"Shay, I don't hit my kid."
"Come on Barry. When we fucked up, we got spanked."
"Hal, really? After everything Wally's been threw. He's not a normal kid guys. If I hit him, even upside the head, because boy does he deserve it sometimes, but, he'll shut down. You guys were there, you know what happened. " Hawkgirl and Green Lantern nod.
"So, you boys wanna go to a strip bar? " Flash and Green Lantern share a look before looking at Hawkgirl.
"What? I can be one of the guys." Hawkgirl glares as she folds her arms.
"I didn't know you hated Iris."
"I don't."
"Then, Shay, why do you want me to get a divorce." Hawkgirl rolls her eyes. Flash was ready to continue when his com unit came to life.
"Flash?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Artemis."
"Who is it man." Flash looked at Green Lantern and mouthed 'Artemis.'
"Sweetheart, why are you com-ing me? Oh god, kid's okay, right?"
"He's fine, but I'm a little over my head. Please don't tell anyone, but can you come get me."
"I'll be there in a flash."
"I'll see you guys later. I have to go pick up Arrows kid."
"What happened?" Hawkgirl asked. All Flash could do was shrug.
"Catch ya guys later." Flash speeded off to Artemis' location.
Flash followed the coordinates and arrived at what looked like a normal house. Flash took his costume off as he walked into the house. 'This can't be right?' Flash thought. He pulled his cell phone out and tried calling Artemis but it went directly to voicemail.
Then he heard it. Screaming coming from the second floor. 'Artemis has to wait.' Barry thought as he jogged up the stairs.
He followed the sound of screaming.
When he located the source of the screaming, he discovered it was coming from behind a locked door.
Barry started banging his fist on the door.
"HEY, OPEN THIS DOOR! WHAT IS GOING ON IN THERE?"
"HE… HELP!" Barry heard a girl scream. Barry started to bust the door down. It took him three tries before the door opened.
He rushed in and saw six or seven teenage boys on top of a teenage girl.
"Hey, get off of her." Barry said as he started to throw boys off of the girl. When he helped her up, he moved the blond hair away from her face.
"You're safe now." She looked up and saw Barry. She clasped her arms around Barry's neck.
"Artemis?" Barry quickly got over his shock and wrapped his arms around her.
"I… I'm sorry. My mom and–and even Ollie said I wasn't aloud to come to–to…" Barry rubbed circles on her back.
"It's okay sweetheart. Tell you what… if you promise me you will never go against your mother's and even dingle berry's wishes, I won't tell them about this. " Artemis nods. Barry Wipes the tears away from her eyes softly.
"As for these idiots." Barry said thoughtfully looking down at the unconscious rapist. Barry pressed a finger to his ear.
"Hey, GL, wanna pick up some trash for me?"
"Be there in a FLAAAASSSHHH!" Hal mocks.
Barry rolls his eyes.
"Y...you said? " Barry looked down at Artemis and picked her up bridal style.
"Lantern won't say anything." Barry looked up and saw Hal Jordan waltzing into the bathroom. Hal didn't look happy
"Those morons didn't." Barry nodded his head and then kissed Artemis on the forehead. Artemis snuggled closer to Barry.
"I'm gonna get her out of here." Barry told Hal. He looked into Artemis' eyes. "Where do you want me to take you? "
"The cave." Artemis sniffles before her eyes grow wide. "But don't let Wally see me." Flash nods.
The next day, as Flash materialized in the Watch Tower he saw Green Lantern waiting for him
"Flash, how's Artemis? Why she call you instead of Arrow?" Green Lantern asked Flash as soon as he stepped off the Zeta pad. They both began walking towards the original members quarters.
"All I know is that she wasn't suppose to be at that party in the first place. She was covered in liquor and smoke. She said she only had a couple, but still. " Flash shook his head. "I'm not gonna be mad, but has Wally ever, ya know…?" Flash stopped outside the door and turned and faces Hal.
"Flash all I'm gonna say is he will always be safe." Flash nods softly before both of them enter the conference room.
"You're both late." Batman tells them stoically. They turn to the far right of the room and look at the clock.
"Bats, we are exactly two minutes late." Flash said as he took his seat.
"Minutes are the difference between life or death."
"Bats, no one will ever mistake you for a rapist. Congrats." Hal says as he takes his open seat. Hawkgirl and Flash giggle.
"Hal!" Batman glares at him before smirking. "Can't get anything by you. No one turns me down. I don't have to take, I'm begged." Hal glares at him and rolls his eyes.
"Anyway, Batman, what did you want to discuss?" Wonder Woman interrupts the pointless drabble that was brewing.
As Batman is about to speak the crime alert blares throughout the room. Flash's eyes widen in surprise as he traces around the table and pats everyone on the head, figuratively counting.
He jumps for joy before pulling Batman into a hug.
"Oh Bats, can ya believe it? All seven of us are in the same place at the same time. We haven't done missions with the entire seven in years."
Batman continues to scowl before asking Flash, "So, Iris don't have to do much to get your rocks hard, does she?" Flash was about to nod his head, when the words Batman muttered actually sunk in.
Flash playfully glares at Batman. "You know I got a red hair kink." Flash winks at Batman before turning to Green Lantern who is all ready to go.
"Which reminds me, she said sex is getting pretty boring and she wants to spice it up. And I ain't got a clue how to do this, um bdsm thing. She wants to try it. So Hal I need your help." Hall nods with a big smile on place.
"Didn't know sweet Iris was a kinkster. Not fair man. Wish I met her first." Superman noticeably rolls his eyes, about to say something, but Batman cuts him off.
"We are getting too close with each other."
"Getting? Bats we ARE too close. I mean, we have seen each other naked. That is friendship for life." Hawkgirl states.
"If you guys don't mind, can we actually go save the day?" Superman interrupts the conversation.
"Good idea!" Flash starts to run out of the door. As soon as he gets through the doorway, he vanished.
A chorus of Flash or Barry rang from the conference room.
They all look at Martian Manhunter expectantly. He shakes his head 'no.'
"There is no trace of Barry's mind." Martian Manhunter clarifies.
Batman cleares his throat. "Whatever the hell that alarm was for, Manhunter, get a team together, and have them deal with it. Right now OUR first priority is finding Flash and bringing home."
Flash lands with a thud on a hard concrete ground. He slowly stands up and faces a school building.
"Superhero High? What the f…?"
