Resistant • Jonathan Kent

ix. 30 Days and 30 Nights

Tiana woke up earlier than everybody else as usual and she was looking up at the ceiling for a few minutes, before she recognized that she wasn't getting back to sleep and she was getting up and trying not to disturb Jon, when she did.

Tiana went downstairs and she saw that Lois was sitting down at the kitchen table with Cameron, who was listening to the sounds that she couldn't hear. "What's wrong?" Tiana asked and Cameron sighed.

"Cameron is just trying to listen for Clark." Lois admitted and Tiana tilted her head in confusion at the words. "Clark went after Ally Allston last night. She escaped from the DOD last night, she had help from people on the inside and from Lucy. We think that he may have gone through the portal."

"Then why didn't you wake me up?" Tiana asked and then she was quickly sitting down at the kitchen table with them. "I could've run around the whole world multiple times, in the time it takes, for him to be listening constantly."

"I cannot keep doing this." Cameron said as he was right back in the present with them in the kitchen, rubbing his temples and he shook his head. Lois looked at him with pleading in her eyes but he was shaking his head. "I'm sorry, Lois. But my head is killing me, I can't keep listening right now. I've been up all night."

"Tiana?" Lois asked suddenly and Tiana was already slipping the Flash ring onto her finger as she had expected Lois to acknowledge her before long, before she twisted it into place. "So. Can you do whatever you can?" She asked and Tiana nodded.

"I'll also contact Lyla and Diggle, see if they have got a way to track Clark." Tiana said and she reached over and tapped Cameron on the shoulder, before the Kryptonian turned to look at her with exhausted eyes. "Get some rest, you look like hell." She said.

"All right--" Cameron's yawn interrupted him and Tiana nodded. "Wake me up--"

"If I need you, I know." Tiana said over her shoulder before she was disappearing out of the house in a flash of lightning, sending papers flying everywhere.

Tiana appeared in the middle of ARGUS headquarters and her entire body was vibrating quickly and she was still ready to run, as she was looking around at the soldiers. "John Diggle." She said and one of them was calling him down, as Tiana was looking at him. "Hello, Mr. Diggle."

"Follow me." John replied and Tiana was walking along with him at a normal speed after she had calmed down enough to do it reasonably. "Superman has disappeared?" John asked and she nodded.

"Yeah. Cameron has been trying to find him, the poor guy's absolutely exhausted from simply listening all night." Tiana admitted as they made their way into his office and he was closing the door. "Can I?" John nodded quickly as Tiana was pulling her mask off, before she sighed. "I need you guys to do anything and everything that you can, just to try and help me find him."

"Of course we will, but... What are you going to do?" John asked and Tiana sighed, before John recognized the look. "You are going to run around the world and check everywhere, and every place, that you think he could possibly be now, aren't you?"

"Am I that obvious?" Tiana asked and John sighed. "I don't know what else to do, John. I can't just sit around, I'm called "The Flash" not "The Couch Potato." If he dies on my watch, I don't even know what I'm going to do." Tiana shook her head. "Not to mention that Lois and the boys will never forgive me, not to mention Cameron who would've lost the only fully Kryptonian family member that isn't a homicidal..."

"Whoa, take a deep breath and think for a minute, kiddo." John stated, reaching out and gently grabbing her shoulder and Tiana looked over at him. "Just take it easy, Tiana. You already have been protecting the world for a while now, you don't need to panic. We have time right here and also, right now, before things blow up completely in our faces. So, just take a deep breath."
