“There… there! He’s right there!”
“I see him, Tabitha.” Bruce sighed and he landed the Batwing close to their destination. He only scrambled out to stop Tabitha from approaching her husband who fought the fiery shadow apparition. Tabitha ignored her surroundings: the only thing on her mind was to stop whatever it was from attacking her husband. She charged up as she approached the two and hit the being with her lightning. It turned but she performed a Lightning Cloud and was standing in front of her husband, protecting the Martian as he knelt in agony.
“Tabitha… no…” he called out weakly but she kept her narrowed eyes on the fire beast.
H’ronmeer, the Martian god of death, fire and art peered down at the human and she threw her hands out, her attempt at blocking J’onn from him. “I need the son of Mars, human.”
“Over my dead body, you’ll get him!” she glared and charged up once more, energy waves pulsating over her arms.
He knew she meant well: he always took pride in the fact that his human wife would take up for him, no matter who threatened him. J’onn knew that Tabitha loved him with all of her soul and was willing to fight for him, even if it meant her demise. The fire god weakened him tremendously, seeing that his primary weakness was to that very element. J’onn J’onzz made the decision to give up his fight as the two Justice League members came to his rescue.
“So be it…” H’ronmeer inched closer to the two. Tabitha stood her ground and summoned for Zeus’s power from her amulet, the waves of electricity sparking out of control over her hands.
The Martian gathered just enough strength to phase through the woman, stopping her potential assault. “Tabitha… stop.”
“J’onn! You can’t fight him: he’s made of fire!”
“I know. And, I’m not fighting him anymore. My fever is gone… and I can understand better, now. Forgive me, my love: I know you better than you know yourself and I have to do this.” He nodded solemnly at her. Tabitha furrowed her brow at his words until she felt the blow across her jaw. She fell to the ground but before losing consciousness, Tabitha watched in horror as the Martian approached the god and both disappeared before her eyes.
