Chapter 17-Only a Dream

Hello guys! Yes I finally updated and I have very exciting news. I actually reached over 100 followers!! When I started writing this story my only goal was to get my ideas on paper and if people liked it then so be it. But now, knowing that over 100 people actually want to read what I wrote is amazing. I'm thankful for each and every one of you. As always please leave a review or comment and I will post again as soon as I can!

"Flash, leave J'onn alone," I said in between yawns as I watched Flash wave his hands in front of J'onn's face. Judging by the lack of response and J'onn's glowing eyes I assumed he was meditating.

"It's okay, I don't think he's home right now. What's he working on anyway?" Flash asked as he turned around towards me. I shrugged and walked to the computer, figuring I would let Shayera handle him. I stopped to stand next to Batman who was sitting in front of the computer flicking through multiple news networks and typing furiously.

"Anything interesting happening?" I asked.

"Possibly," Bats said as he slowed down his typing and began reading.

Flash's voice carried over to the computer just as Bats finished typing. "Aren't you even a little-"

"Forget him," Bats interrupted. "Get over here."

"Crankier than usual," Flash muttered as he made his way over to us, Shayera following. "So?" He asked as John and Superman came over as well.

"There's been a prison break," Bats told us as he pulled up pictures of everyone who escaped. "Grundy, Copperhead, Luminus, Volcana, and Firefly."

"Say no more," Flash said, straightening up.

"I wasn't going to," Bats said as he stood up and brushed past everyone, heading towards the hangar.

"Somebody's extra grumpy," Flash said.

"Hey, give him a break. We haven't slept in 3 days," I said trying to suppress another yawn.

"Oh, spending some quality time together?" Flash asked while wiggling his eyebrows.

"Huh?" I asked, wondering what he was talking about, and then it hit me. "Oh my gosh, no Flash!" I said whacking him on the shoulder. "Gotham has been going crazy this week and we've been working together. Between being there at night and up here most of the day we haven't had a chance to sleep. Get your head out of the gutter." I said shaking my head and heading towards the hangar as well. Five sets of footsteps followed me and we all met Bats next to his jet.

"Local authorities found Firefly and Volcana and have them surrounded in a warehouse." Bats told us. "I'm heading there now."

"I'll go with you," Lantern said. Bats nodded his head as he climbed into his jet.

"You coming Evie? We could use you against Volcana," Bats asked as he buckled himself in.

"Yeah, sure," I said, knowing that I could be pretty effective against a girl who shoots fire from her hands.

"Gee, what a surprise," Shayera mumbled, but not quietly enough because I heard her. I shot her a look before climbing in but she only smirked and shook her head.

"The rest of you, try to find the others," Bats called out before he closed the hatch shut and started the engine. I finished buckling myself in and laid my head back on the headrest and closed my eyes. "Don't fall asleep."
