Chapter 19- A Better World

Hello everyone! Good news, I am officially done with school, so hopefully you will be seeing updates a lot more frequently than before. I have so many ideas for what I am going to do for the rest of this season, and then for Unlimited. As usual, please leave a review and let me know what you think!

Another day, another fight with Luthor. It seems to be the same old thing. We bust Luthor for having weapons and planning on hurting people with them, he somehow gets away, rebuilds his machines, and does the same thing all over again. And the entire time the public is none the wiser. It got so tiring.

So this time, we had caught Luthor in an empty lab where he was making and stockpiling weapons, and we all decided to put an end to it. Except we didn't expect Luthor to have his bionic suit with him, stun gun and all.

I rolled out of the way as the crate I was hiding behind exploded, sending shards of wood flying all around me. I rolled onto my feet and stood up, glaring at Luthor flying around the warehouse, shooting off light beams like a madman.

"Are you okay Evie?" Flash asked, slowing by a little as he sped past me.

"I'm fine. I'll be better when this is over though," I said, shaking debris out of my hair.

"I know," Flash said, speeding off again. At this point, Superman was fighting Luthor while Diana was trying to get him lassoed in. Luthor was able to push out of Superman's grasp and dodge the lasso, swinging back around towards me again.

I jumped onto some crates, running overtop until I was almost as high as the ceiling, then I jumped off, heading into the general vicinity of Luthor. I made a spear mid-air and threw it at him, soaring through the air and about to land on my feet, when Luthor dodged my spear and grabbed another empty crate and threw it at me. The crate hit me full force and knocked me back, smacking me into the wall.

I hit the wall and slid down with a thud, my legs splayed out in front of me, and held my head in my hands. "How did he even see that?" I muttered. Glancing up again, I saw that everyone was in a fight with Luthor. Shayera, Diana, and Lantern were flying after him, Lantern throwing a blast at a set of pipes, narrowly missing Luthor, and Shayera throwing her mace, but missing as well.

The pipe that Lantern had hit crashed to the ground, landing on Flash, but before I could move, Superman was there, lifting it off of him, and judging by the stern look on his face, was giving him a mini lecture. When they were distracted, Luthor rounded a corner and disappeared. I sprinted after him, seeing him fly down a set of stairs and land. In a second, Bats and Shayera were next to me. Luthor walked up next to a tripod, with a white machine resting on the top of it. He clicked a few buttons and turned it on.

"What is that?" Shayera whispered.

"Breakable I hope," Bats said, taking out a Batarang. Before he could throw it, a blur whizzed by us and knocked Luthor over, taking off some pieces of the machine with him. Luthor hit the floor and Flash slowed down enough for us to see him.

As Luthor hit the floor, Diana had come up behind him and threw her lasso around him, pulling him back a couple feet which caused him to hit the ground pretty hard.

Luthor struggled against the restraints before looking up at Diana. "Watch, I'll be out in days," He said.

"Not with a broken leg you won't," Diana said, taking a step forward.

"That's being pretty generous. I was thinking more along the lines of a broken hip," I said, nudging Luthor's hip with the tip of my boot. He gave me a dirty look before turning his head away from me. Police officers came in and took Luthor away, leaving the rest of us standing in the lab.
