Chapter 5: Saving Rose

"The box doesn't have enough power to be activated." Said Victor

"We need more power-"

"I can do it." Stated my brother, "if I get enough distance I might be able to create enough electrical charge to wake the box....if that's still what we want?" He finished looking to Batman.

"We have to try." Said Batman

"Ok." Said Victor as Barry got into position. Barry ran, woke up the box and brought superman back to life. Superman shot out of the water, and into the sky.

I looked down and realized that Arthur was so worried he hadn't realized that he grabbed my hand. Pink dusted my cheeks as I felt him look at me then at our hands. He gave my hand a gentle squeeze, letting go before I winked at him, jumping out of the hole superman just created. But not before hearing,

"Wow. That was hot." From a certain water boy.

As we stand side by side in front of superman, he eyes us all his eyes land on Arthur and he panics.

"He is not ok." Arthur stated I could feel his anxiety so I secretly gave his hand a squeeze for reassurance, before returning my hand to my side. Superman's eyes landed on me and he stopped. He could feel my powers overwhelming his system, trying to calm him down, and it worked, but only a little. Superman's eyes never wavered from mine and we both were taking steps towards one another.

"Arthur you need to calm down, your pulse is spiking." Victor said

"That's because my mate is stepping towards him and he's not ok." Arthur snapped back, super nervous. Glancing at me, I could see the fear in his eyes. Then I started hearing clicking. I turn my head to the left to see Cyborgs arm turning into a gun...pointing at me, as I was the closest to superman. Superman was confused as to why I wasn't scared. But none the less, he grabbed me flying into the air, taking me away from the blast. He set me in the parking lot away from here, which was next to the mother box.

While the fight raged on I saw that we were losing. I stopped paying attention when I saw a blue light beam down from the sky. Steppenwolf shot down next to me. I used my powers to create a lasso made out of vines to grab the mother box, but it was useless as he grabbed me. I screamed as loud as I could. Alerting the team that something was wrong. "BARRY!!!ARTHUR!!!!"

"Rose!!!" I heard from Arthur as he jumped towards me, I couldn't hear anything else as black dots filled my vision,but it was no use. Steppenwolf held tightly onto me as we shot into the blue beam...that's all I remember before everything went black.

3rd person P. O. V.

As the team were currently busy with superman, they hadn't realized that Steppenwolf had come for the mother box. When a scream shot through the air it sent everyone silent and still. Arthur looked around and panicked realizing that it was Rose who screamed.

"Rose!!!" Arthur screamed jumping toward the scream to find Rose in Steppenwolf's arms. He was sucking her energy right out of her body as you could hear a snap sound through the air. Arthur winced as he knew Steppenwolf broke some of her bones.

"Let her go!" Arthur yelled running towards them as the blue beam reappeared taking both Steppenwolf and Rose into thin air. Arthur had tears brimming his eyes as he worried that the prophecy might not come true. He walked back to everyone, pushing the tears back as he came face to face with the team.

"Rose is gone. Steppenwolf took her and the mother box." Arthur stated causing Barry to start crying.

"She's all I have left." Barry mumbled as Bruce patted his back.

"Don't worry, we'll find her and bring her home." Bruce stated looking at Barry and stealing a glance at Arthur as a stray tear fell down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away before anyone could see it.

Rose's P. O. V.

I slowly was waking up when a throbbing pain came from my ribs. They were broken. Not all of them but a few on each side. It was hard to breathe. I slowly pulled myself up into a sitting position. Wincing every time I moved. I put my hand over my lower stomach, enhancing my hearing I listened closely. I could hear a little heart beat. I sighed in relief.

'Your still with me baby?' I thought and received a faster pulse, confirming my question. I had met a guy before I left and sadly had an abusive relationship, resulting in me getting pregnant. Which is another reason why I left. And on the Amazonian island, you don't really age.

So I've been pregnant for almost two years. Weird I know. But I figured I'd just tell them when I started showing which I was. I had a tiny baby bump and I loved it with all my heart. And would protect this bump with my last dying breath. Steppenwolf had figured it out and had his minions reset my bones, and locked me up at the top of the plant building. I could easily escape but the fall alone would kill me since my powers are weakened by Steppenwolf's powers. I just hope that the team has found out my location.

3rd person P. O. V.

Back at the lab the group tried to triangulate where Steppenwolf would've taken the mother boxes, and where Rose is.

Hey Arthur. Before we fought Superman, you said something to me. You said your 'Mate' was stepping towards Superman. So Rose is your mate?" Everyone froze and Diana's eyes widened.

"Wait, your her mate?" Diana asked standing Infront Arthur.

"Yeah I am. Let's not waste time talking on it when we can use this time to find her."

Two hours later

"I found him. It's Bosarnov, Russia. That's where Steppenwolf has Rose." Cyborg said.

"A nuclear plant. Had a melt down thirty years ago." Added Bruce

"Who picks this place to put down roots?" Asked Barry

"People that have been kicked out of every where else." Answered Arthur

"How long have we got?" Asked Bruce

"A few hours."

"My plane won't get there in a few hours."

"It will for me."

"Ok let's go get Rose back and save the world." Stated Arthur and they were jumping into the plane and off to save the princess of the team.
