The new headquarters had been built less than a week ago and already the place was feeling like home. The League members who preferred to live where they were superheroes were the first into the new ground headquarters.
The core League members were also settled in and were recruiting many staff to help keep the place up and running; many of the old staff from the Watch Tower had come back to work with them while a few new staff had also arrived.
Green Lantern and Superman were currently heading to the core computer centre where The Martian Manhunt was loading up the new data and camera systems. He had actually gotten Flash to behave himself and help load up each camera around the new headquarters.
Superman stepped to one side of the corridor as he heard Flash coming up behind them. The Speedster zoomed past them and to the top end of the corridor where he spoke into his head set and attached some wires to a camera and pointed the camera down at Green Lantern and Superman.
"Is it set?" he asked into the mic. He paused and listened for a moment before he disappeared around the corner and on to the next camera.
"He seems to back to his normal self." Superman said.
"Yeah, but he seems a little more calmer than usual." Green Lantern whispered, peering around the corner. "Do you think it wise that he go back on missions?"
"It's been two months John." Superman said.
"I just worry about the kid." He said, continuing down the corridor.
"We all do." Superman agreed. "But he's old enough now to handle himself, we have to let him feel that we're here to help, but he has to learn from this on his own."
Green Lantern just sighed and nodded solemnly.
They arrived into the computer centre in time to see the alarms go off. They approached the platform where J'ohn was and waited for him to find the problem.
"Someone is attacking a warehouse." He told them. "I can't get picture up yet, but from the maps that is meant to be a secure military storage facility."
"Where abouts?" Superman asked.
"The next city over." He told them. "Transporters are still offline though."
"We'll go." Green Lantern said as Flash appeared beside them.
"You coming Flash?" Superman asked, ignoring the frown from Green Lantern.
"Sure, just point me in the right direction." And they were off.
They were quick to arrive at the warehouse and found the point of entry to the far left hand side warehouse. Superman led them into the darkened room and looked in with his vision.
"There's no one…" he was cut off by an explosion before him. He looked up in the dark and saw a figure drop from the ceiling.
"Hello Superman." The man hissed as more figures dropped from the ceiling.
They all pounced on Superman and with great strength, pulled him to the ground. Flash whipped past them and took off five of the men, sending them crashing into the next wall.
They all sprang to a crouched and hissed at him, eyes flashing red in the dark. Green Lantern swept more of them off the Man of Steel allowing him to throw the rest to one side.
They circled the three heroes and jumped forward to fight them. The leader stood off by the door to the next warehouse and laughed. He eventually turned and walked through the door.
Flash was the first to break out of the circle and gave chase, ignoring the calls of stop from both Superman and Green Lantern who where both cut off from the younger Superhero.
Flash raced into the room and stopped in the centre, squinting into the darkness for the man. He heard a noise above him and looked up to see a glass box fall around him. He walked over to the nearest glass wall and banged a fist on the side of it.
"Let me out!" he shouted.
"My master wishes much great things for you my young one." The man said, melting out of the shadows. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a remote control; pressing one button caused a purple gas to start to fill up Flash's glass prison.
He started coughing and throwing a hand into the glass, stumbling backwards his vision swam. With the last of his breath he lurched forward and slammed his fist, cracking the thick glass and cutting his hand, but not quite breaking it.
He gasped for breath and slid down the wall, smearing blood as he went. The man stood on the other side of the glass and laughed.
Green Lantern finally broke out of the crowd and, after sending many of the people through windows and walls he broke through into the other warehouse.
Looking around he used his ring to light up the room. He gasped as Superman flew in beside him.
"Flash?" he called out.
"He's gone." John whispered, walking up to the glass box in the centre of the warehouse and staring at the cracked glass where a trail of blood was trickling down to the floor. "Call Batman." He ordered Superman.
Well, does it sound good?
