Chapter 4: In the Blackest Night

It had been a few weeks since we had established the Justice League, and boy, we had been busy. Not with any more alien incidents or anything, but there was SO much paperwork. I mean honestly, who would have thought that there would have been hours of sitting at a table, doing paperwork for a sort of secret superhero organization? At one point I sat at a table in the Watchtower's cafeteria for six hours, just filling out health forms, profiles, international agreements, and some forms that I have no idea what they were for. I really didn't run into any problems until I got to the Justice League's health form. There was a spot labeled 'Superhero name'. Problem was, I didn't have a superhero name. Everyone in the League just called me Evie, and I haven't had to deal with the media yet. I never really thought about a superhero name. I decided to get up and walk around the watchtower, to see if I could think of a name, or at least a way to get out of it. I pulled my brown hair into a high ponytail and left.

I walked into the dining hall and saw Flash making another frozen coffee drink. He goes through those like they're going out of style. I decided to ask him about my predicament. I walked over to him. "Hey Flash." I called out.

Flash turned around and waved. "Hey Evie, do you want one?" He asked, pointing to his coffee machine.

"Sure." I said, leaning up against the counter. "Hey, I have a problem. Apparently I need a superhero name." Flash looked up at me confused. "Flash, I don't have a superhero name. I've never used anything other than my actual name."

"Oh, I see your problem. Well, just try and think of something that relates to your abilities. I went by Flash because of how fast I can run. It took a little time to get used to the idea and to come up with the name, but I'm sure you'll get there soon." I took a sip of my coffee and thought about what he had just said.

"Yeah, you're right. I'll just have to think about it. Thanks for the advice." I smiled at him. Flash smiled back and zoomed off. I decided to go up to the monitor room and take a shift. It was pretty cool actually and I loved monitor duty. We used cameras that were set up all around the world to see if anything majorly bad was happening. I had always wanted to travel, but I could never afford it, and I never had the chance to go anywhere. Sitting in the monitor room, it felt as if I had been to all of these places, without actually being there. As I was admiring Big Ben, an alarm went off in the Watch Tower. I ran over to the main deck to see J'onn and Flash standing at the window. I could see something fly past, but it was hard to tell what it was. All I knew was whatever those things were, they were heading straight for Earth.

I missed what J'onn had previously said, but I heard what Flash said back to him, "More like an invasion." J'onn looked down at the flying things.

"I'll notify the others." He said in his usual monotonous tone. I followed them to the landing deck where the jet was. We all ran aboard, Hawkgirl and J'onn sitting in the front, with Flash and I sitting behind them. "Wonder Woman is on another case. Superman's dealing with an earthquake, and Batman would only say that he was busy." J'onn said as he started the jet. I rolled my eyes at that, of course Bats wouldn't come help. It's only the planet that he lives on, why should he get involved when it's possibly under attack? I thought.
