(Brief Recap)
"What are you up to?" Darren asked frantically.
"What I've always been up to," Tobi told him softly, "to have the both of us use the Ring of Silence together."
"I have but one wish," the Ring of Silence answered tonelessly, "to bring peace and content to a normally suffering universe."
"I will never give up on life as it is," Darren swore, "never!"
"Darren no!"
(End Recap)
(General POV)
"Sir, sir!"
Wally was awoken by a frantic voice right above his head. Begrudgingly the speedster opened his eyes to see several people standing above him looking extremely worried.
He tried to stand up only to feel a sharp pain in his side. A kind looking older woman came over and tried to get him lie down.
"Just stay down son you've been through a lot," she told him gently.
"What happened?" Wally moaned in pain. He look down to see the lower right end of his shirt torn off and the exposed half of his body wrapped up in bandages.
Wally looked around and saw that he, and the people around him, were a couple of feet away from the Eiffel Tower. He didn't know the specific time of day but judging the by placement of the sun, it was setting, that it was pretty late in.
"You were attacked by some madman in blue," a boy around Wally ages answered, "he just came out of nowhere and blasted you."
"A madman in blue," Wally repeated under his breath trying to recall the event.
The speedster's eyes widen in shock and fear.
"Darren" Wally cried out frantically trying to sit up again.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," a number of hands flew up to sit Wally back down.
"I had friend with me name Darren Hill," Wally looked around for him anxiously, "did anyone see him?"
The crowd of people exchanged lost looks with each other before turning back to Wally.
"We didn't see anyone with you," the older woman denied, "all anyone could remember is hearing someone getting hit with some kind of attack and then a blue light zooming off into the sky."
Zooming off into the sky?
Everything started coming back to the young speedster. The visit to the Eiffel Tower, asking Darren to be his boyfriend, and finally Tobi attacking him and making off with Darren in his arms all came back to him in an instant.
"He's got Darren," Wally whispered to himself bordering on the line of hysteria, "he's got Darren!"
"Son, you have to calm down," the older woman said soothingly, "an ambulance is on its way for you."
"I don't want an ambulance, leave me alone," Wally snapped trying to stand up again only to be stopped again.
"Get off," Wally seethed.
"I see the ambulance coming," someone called out.
Dammit, Wally growled to himself. He debated using his super speed to escape but that would bring up to many question he doesn't need brought up right now.
He needed to find a way to contact someone in the league and fast.
Fast…
Slowly, Wally started to make it seem like he was calming down as he proceeded to lye back down on the sidewalk.
"That's it son," the older woman nodded with a smile, "just relax."
Seeing that everyone started to look up as the ambulance pulled up to them, Wally discreetly reached over and pressed two buttons on his wristwatch causing one of them to blink red and yellow, while the other blinked white and blue.
Hurriedly, the paramedics in the ambulance jumped ran over to the crowd and put Wally onto a cart gently.
"Don't worry kid you're going to be okay," One of the paramedics reassured Wally rolling him into the back of the ambulance.
Once everyone was safely inside, the ambulance driver sped into the streets its sirens blazing on top of the vehicle.
They were making good time, almost half way to the hospital, until they were forced to stop in the middle of the street.
Wally smirked to himself.
"What's the matter?" A paramedic from the back of the vehicle demanded, "is there something in the road?"
"Y-You c-could say t-that," the ambulance driver stuttered seemingly struck in awe of something.
"Well what…"
"Hi!"
The doors from the back of the ambulance flew up to reveal the one and only Flash.
"It's the Flash," the paramedics gasped in shock.
The Flash shot them a grin before tossing Wally over his shoulder.
"Sorry guys, I'm sure you were going to fix him up real good but I need him for official league business."
With nothing else but a salute, Flash dashed down the street running past any and all vehicles in his way.
"What the hell happened to you?" Flash asked his nephew, "I thought this was supposed to be a peaceful trip for you two. Speaking of which, where is Darren?"
"That's what we have to hurry and find out," Wally declared, "that Tobi guy blasted me and took off with him. We have to find out what he's planning."
"Alright, alright," Flash consented, "where did you put the ship you came here with?"
"Turn right at this corner and…wait, how did you know I took a ship here?" Wally demanded just catching that his uncle knew that Darren and Wally went here together.
The Flash threw his nephew a smirk off his shoulder.
"Securities cameras are a wondrous invention Wally," Flash teased with a snicker, "you should really put them into account when you steal expensive equipment."
Wally grumbled to himself in irritation.
In a little less than a minute later, both of them arrived to the ship. Uncloaking it, they climbed in and set off back to the Young Justice base.
Landing the ship safely in the garage, both speedsters ran into the main part of the base where they saw the whole Young Justice team, Batman and Canary, both Earth Green Lanterns, and strangely enough Red Arrow waiting for them.
"What's up man?" Robin questioned walking up to his red haired friend, "we got your distress signal."
"Oh my gosh, what happened to you Wally?" Megan asked eyeing the injury on the side of his body.
"There's no time for that," Wally denied, "we have to hurry and save Darren."
"Darren?" Hal hears peaked up immediately. Once he heard from Trina that Darren had gone missing him and John had come here to see if they could track him.
Seeing how worried he had been about his son only to find out he was out with Wally, on what he assumes was a date, left Hal infuriated.
"What happened to my son?" Hal demanded walking up to the young speedster.
"We were attacked by Tobi in Paris," Wally informed everyone, "he took Darren with him before I could do anything."
"Paris?" Artemis raised an eyebrow at him, "what the hell were you going in Paris?"
"Well it is the city of love," Robin tapped his chin as a smirk slowly made it onto his face, "so tell me, did you have love or make love?"
"T-That's not…shut up Robin," Wally snapped blushing so badly his face matched the color of his hair.
Thought the tension in the air did ease slightly, it didn't affect Hal in the slightest.
"Why would you take my son to Paris when a madman was after him and he didn't have his powers?" Hal criticized.
Wally, hearing the anger in the older man's voice, turned to face him in the same mood.
"Why would you take his powers from him when a madman is after him?" Wally shot back at the Green Lantern.
Hal growled and went to take a couple steps toward Wally but was stopped by John.
Noticing the uneasy and nervous faces on several people's faces in the room, Black Canary decided it was time to intervene.
"Look, fighting isn't going to get us anywhere," Black Canary claimed standing in the middle of Hal and Wally, "what's important is getting back Darren and put a stop to this Tobi person and his goals."
This seemed to calm everyone down and made them think of the current situation they were in right now. Hal pushed himself out of John's grip and Wally had hardened the anger the was feeling so he was more focused.
"How can we find Tobi and Darren?" Megan wondered, "we have no idea in the slightest where they could be?"
Batman gave Robin a blank look. Robin snickered slightly and activated his wrist computer. Typing in some information, he enlarged the screen so everyone in the room could see it.
Robin had brought up a map of the United States where a couple of red blinking lights were on the screen.
"Darren is over right there," Robin pointed to the blinking light that was farthest from the other lights.
"How do you know that?" Red Arrow raised an eyebrow at him.
"What you see here is my full proof tracking system," Robin declared proudly, "that blinking light shows where Darren is along with the rest of you."
"You put trackers on us?" Both of Red Arrows eyebrows rose at that development.
"Uh, yeah," Robin stated as if Red Arrow was stupid for asking that question, "I need to know where you all are at all times, for safety measures of course."
Red Arrow sighed and just decided to shut his mouth and not question the crazy logic that most in the Batman family share.
"We'll need a rescue team," Batman announced the same stoic voice he always has, "any volunte-"
"I'm going to rescue him," Wally declared before Batman could finish.
"We're going to rescue Darren," Aqualad corrected with emphasis, "Kid Lantern is our teammate and can't forsake him."
"Yep," Robin added.
"Sure," Megan smiled in determination.
"Why not?" Artemis shrugged.
Superboy just nodded at the Dark Knight.
Batman shot a look at Black Canary who simply shrugged in response.
"They've made up their minds Batman," Flash pointed out, "Kid Lantern is there teammate so they have a right to go."
Batman looked the team over eyeing all of them critically.
"Fine, you all can go," Batman relented, "but you'll need supervision."
"Supervision?" Superboy repeated in outrage, "we don't need a babysitter."
"This might get bigger than the six of you can handle," Batman insisted, "and you might need some back up just in case."
Superboy folded his arms looking irritated.
"I'll go," Hal volunteered, "Darren is my son after all."
Both John and Flash stepped up to help as well.
"Agreed," Batman nodded, "you will leave as soon as you got yourselves situated. Now go and get ready."
The Young Justice team nodded and left the room, Red Arrow going off on his own claiming that he had another mission.
Once they were gone Batman swiftly turned to the two Green Lanterns and Flash.
"If anything happens that is above their skill level…"
"Well take me them out of there faster than you can freeze a cherry popsicle," Flash finished cheekily.
Batman stared at Flash for a second before deciding to just ignore him completely.
"Is that clear?" Batman said deep and seriously.
The three superheroes nodded and went on to join the Young Justice team.
"Do you think everything will turn out okay?" Black Canary asked the Dark Knight after a while.
"Time will tell Black Canary," Batman answered simply.
"Time will tell."
…
"Lex Corp?" Kid Flash reiterated getting up from his seat on the ship to look at Robin's map himself.
"That's what I've got," Robin told him, "the tracker is showing that Darren is somewhere in Lex Corp."
"Did Tobi ally himself with Lex Luthor?" Kid Flash questioned in his confused.
"Luthor wouldn't ally himself with anyone if it didn't benefit him in some way," Flash pointed out, "I wonder what his angle is?"
"We're about to find out," Hal promised landing on top of the Lex Corp building.
Immediately, all of them rushed out of the ship. They were greeted by a large number of gun men in front of them.
"Well isn't this a warm welcome," Kid Flash said sarcastically.
"Look we're not here to make any trouble," John stepped closer to the gun man trying to reason with them, "we just have some questions that need answering."
"And what would those be," A voice asked them calmly.
Not taking their eyes off of any of them, the gun man cleared the way for none other than Lex Luthor followed by his assistant Mercy Graves.
Lex Luthor looked around his roof, examining the superheroes on it, before finally giving them all a polite smile.
"Well isn't this a pleasant surprise," Lex gave a mock bow to them all, "I feel like I am in the presence of royalty."
"Can it Luthor," Kid Flash snapped, "just tell us where your little Blue Lantern buddy Tobi is hiding."
"Tobi?" Lex raised an eyebrow at him, "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. This is a company not a shelter."
"Stop fucking with us Luthor," Kid Flash growled loudly, "we know you have something to do with this. So tell us where he is."
Lex met the angered speedsters gaze calmly, not looking frightened or intimidated in the slightest.
"I'm still lost on what you're referring to young man," Lex shook his head at him helplessly, "could you be a little clearer."
"That's it," Kid Flash snarled going to walk up to the businessman but was stopped by both Superboy and Aqualad.
"If you don't tell me where Tobi is hiding right now I swear I'll…"
"He's on the move," Robin proclaimed examining his tracker system.
"What? What do you mean?" Kid Flash asked frantically.
"The signal is moving away from us into the sky," Robin looked up trying to see he could spot anything.
Kid Flash looked from the sky to Luthor.
"You sneaky little…"
"Kid Flash we don't have time for this," Aqualad advised, "we have to follow that signal."
Begrudgingly, Kid Flash relented moving back into the ship with everyone else, but not before giving Lex one last hateful look.
As the superheroes all took off they missed the subtle smirk on Lex's face at their departure.
Robin downloaded the information he had in his wrist computer to the computer on the ship so everyone could get a look of where they were going.
"There heading for a planet that's…not that far from Oa," Hal stated exchanging confused looks with John.
"I thought all the planets next to Oa were abandoned," John rubbed his chin in thought.
"We'll just see," Kid Flash grunted.
They made it to the planet in question in record time. Even though Robin claimed this to definitely be the place, the planet looked barren and deserted like no one had lived there in centuries.
"The signal is coming from the center of the planet," Robin informed everyone as they landed down onto the planet.
"Hey, he said the center of the planet" Kid Flash protested noticing they were landing so far away from the giant mountain on the planet, "why are we landing so far away?"
"This was the only place we could land safely," Hal sighed getting up from his seat, "this planet is covered in spikes."
"Okay we need to come up with a plan," Aqualad suggested.
Before anyone could say anything else, Kid Flash sped out of the ship ignoring all the protest he heard.
Narrowly the speedster was able to avoid all of the spikes and run up to the mountain without any problem.
He was stopped however from stepping forward to the cave in the middle of the mountain by a large rumbling.
"What the hell?" Kid Flash mumbled panicky before running into the cave.
Kid Flash caught sight of Darren and Tobi being absorbed by some kind of white light at the center of the cave, he had to shield his eyes from the intense light.
"Darren no!" Kid Flash shouted trying to get to his boyfriend but to no avail.
He was too late.
The light lessened somewhat allowing Kid Flash to open his eyes.
What Kid Flash was a man outline in the same white light he saw previously with only a gray ring on him.
The light slowly faded a dark gray aura covering the man, he seemed to be absorbing the aura into his body.
"D-Darren," Kid Flash stuttered lowly.
Suddenly, the man's eyes snapped open.
His great power released.
