His Lil Brother Part Two

Masks

Phantom went out late flying around Gotham and saw a blur of red and yellow.

He followed it and saw lightspeed stop at the park.

She looked left to right then went right and went up a fire escape to the top of a building.

"When the Flash said you me fast, I didn't know he meant actually fast fast," Phantom floated above her.

"What do you want snowflake?" Lightspeed crossed her arms with an annoyed look on her face.

"Why you offend me with your words LS," he teased.

"LS?" She raised an eye brow under the mask.

"Sometimes lightspeed is to long," he shrugged and flipped onto his feet.

He noticed he was a little taller.

"Say a word about my height and I'll drag your sorry butt to Africa," apparently she noticed too.

"Whoops," he smirked and she glared up at him.

"So where's the dark knight?" Lightspeed asked looking at the city.

"In space,"

"...."

"I'm not joking," Phantom said like its no big deal.

"Why do you say it like its not a big deal?! It's outer space!" She waved her arms in the air.

"Why would I? It's not the first time," he shrugged.

"But why is he in spaces though?" She shook her head.

"Five years ago, six of the justice league members disappeared for six hours, they caused some serious damage on another planet to they're on trial, including Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Hawk Girl, and Green Lantern, in those hours they where mind controlled by savage as well as the rest of the justice league, just those six where longer," Phantom explained seriously.

It shocked lightspeed how serious this kid could be for his age.

"I see," she nodded.

"So how long will they be gone to clear their name?" Lightspeed asked.

"Who knows, right now it's just me and my siblings, Robin and nightwing, then bargirls there too but she's more friend of the family," phantom smiled a little.

They stayed silent for a while. Not knowing what to talk about.

"Do you think we'll ever know who each other is?" Lightspeed spoke up.

"Maybe, I don't exactly have a mask though, in my civilian self, everything's the same except my hair and eyes change colors," Phantom shrugged.

"Do you think we know each other? Without the mask?" She hugged herself.

"That depends, which mask are we taking off? The one we call ourselves heroes in, or the one that is visible to everyone but they still can't see who we really are?" Phantom looked into the cities lights.

"Both," she answered simply.

"Well what's holding you back now from telling me? Obviously batmans strict on these type of thing for me, but what about you?" He looked into her eyes.

"Disappointment," she answered.

"I hate how I act at school and I have fake friends, I envy these kids at school and wish I could be friends with them, but this boy already shows me kindness even though I don't deserve it," she explained.

"Ok that's enough for tonight," lightspeed added and punched phantoms arm hard.

"Ow! What the hell?" He rubbed his arm.

"That's for you making me have a deep conversation," She scowled and crossed her arms.

"Your the one that asked the question!" He gasped.

Lightspeed glared at him and speed off with out warning.

"Good talk LS," he said in a monotone voice and rolled his eyes then headed back to the cave to meet his little brother and Alfred.
