Resurrecting the Red

Chapter
26: Hunting for Luthor

Wally is
alive.

It was a mantra
that Bruce Wayne kept repeating in his head. Wally is alive. But
the former Caped Crusader had other matters to attend to first:
Catching Luthor and keeping an eye on Terry. His son.

Sons. Thank God
Terry had found Matt.

Bruce gave a
small start when he realized that Jonn was giving him a
questioning look. He overheard my thoughts. Bruce gave a small
sigh; it had been a long time since hed had to worry about a
telepath.

Ill
explain later Jonn, Bruce muttered quietly. The Martian nodded
his head. No doubt Jonn had many questions to ask himto ask all
of them. Bruce wasnt the only one still wondering at how Jonn
and Kara had ended up in a cryostasis chamber in one of Luthors
hidden bunkers.

Do you still
sense her? the Dark Knight asked. Jonn closed his eyes and
opened them after a few moments.

Yes, but not
as strongly as before. I believe she has found a way to block me.

Is she still
in Bludhaven? There was a long pause.

Yes, but
shes on the move.

Green Arrow
and Black Canary are in Bludhaven, Bruce said. He trusted the
Queen siblings, they had sharp eyes. The Questions already on
the ground, he added. The Dark Knight didnt know as much about
Erin Szasz, but Shayera had assured him that the woman was as good a
detective as her father.

Speaking of
Szaszes, Charles Victor Szasz had called him only a few minutes ago
to check up on his other daughter, who was currently sulking in the
medical lab. Bruce grudgingly admitted to himself that the younger
Szasz daughter must have some talent if she was able to hold her own
against Curare.

Vic had said
that he and his other daughter currently had a few theories on where
Luthor might turn up and would contact the League when they had
something more concrete.

..

Are we there
yet? Ethan Queen whined.

No!

Are we

No!

A miserable
Green Arrow tried to avoid looking out the window of the Javelin his
sister was flying. They had borrowed the Javelin from the Metrotower
since the Watchtowers transporters were still offline. The few
transporters in the Metrotower had been shut down for repairs, but
several technicians had gotten them up and running again. The only
problem was that they were only running on a direct link to the
Watchtower.

Thankfully they
would be landing in Bludhaven any minute now.

Ethan gripped
the sides of his seat until his knuckles turned white. He hated
heightstherefore he hated flying. Emily Queen sighed, knowing from
long experience of her younger brothers phobia. In an attempt to
take his mind off of the dangerous flight, she asked him a
seemingly innocent question slyly.

Sowhen are
you and Huntress finally going to hook up?

The Green Arrow
blushed several shades of red.

Im fine
Mom, the Huntress told her mother, Helena Bertinelli Szasz. She
was holding the cell phone with her good arm. Its just a
scratch. Actually, it wasnt. Curares scimitar had sliced a
deep gash into her left arm from her shoulder to her elbow, cutting
her nearly to the bone. Elizabeth Szasz had originally been in the
medical lab in the Metrotower, but had been transferred up to the
Watchtower since it had more medical staff.

Thats
not what I hear, Helena replied, despite the fact she probably
would have responded in the same way as her daughter.

Who told
youBOOSTER! Elizabeth yelled. She grimaced as a sharp pain
jumped up her arm. Huntress sighed when Booster Gold, Dr. Stephen
Carter, merely smiled innocently at her from across the room. Damn
you Carter!

Unfortunately
one couldnt stay mad at Booster Gold very long, especially when he
was just looking out for your best interests. Trying to be angry with
the doctor was like trying to be angry with a whimpering puppy, you
just couldnt do it. Had it been anyone else, even a certain
annoying archer, and Elizabeth Szasz would have throttled them with
her good arm.

Howre Erin
and Dad doing? she finally asked with a sigh. The Huntress paused
suddenly as her mother spoke, looking curiously at the newest group
to enter the medical lab. Shayera and Rex Stewart had just walked in
with the two Flashes. Elizabeth had heard rumors that Wally West was
somehow back, but she hadnt believed it until now.

Come on
Shayera! Im fine!

Wally! Youve
been in the speed force for twenty-four years, sit down and behave!

Huntress watched
curiously as the infamous Wally West sat obediently on an infirmary
bed as Shayera sat next to him. Rex Stewart helped the still dazed
David to another bed where the young man immediately laid down.
Elizabeth wasnt a doctor, but she was pretty sure that the
teenager had a concussion. The female superhero suddenly gave a
start.

Yes Mom!
Im listening, Im not spacing out like Dad! Elizabeth
grumbled.

..

Terry expertly
flew the batmobile towards Bludhaven. According to Jonn, Luthor
was still there but believed she would be heading to Gotham soon.
Commissioner Gordon had also set up road blocks and check points at
all roads, ports, and airfields leading into and out of Gotham. From
what he could see, Bludhavens PD had done the same.

Gordon had acted
quickly by having the mayor issue a temporary curfew so it would be
easier to move about the city. Luthor was a smart woman; she already
knew she was being hunted. There was no point in trying to hide it.
Terry tapped a code into the controls in order to patch himself into
the Justice Leagues communication system.

Arrow? Any
luck? he asked.

I hate
heights!

I dont
think Batman cares about your irrational phobias, an
unfamiliar voice replied disdainfully.

Shut up
Sir Shines At Night! Ethan snapped. Terry guessed that the new
voice must belong to Sir James, the new Shining Knight. Hed heard
from Static that the two men didnt get along very well.

What the
hell do you want? Black Canary growled. Terry rolled his eyes.
Apparently neither Queen particularly cared for the knight. However
even Terry, their junior by a number of years, knew that this wasnt
the time for petty arguments.

Ive
been assigned to Gotham to help the police, Sir James replied
stiffly, clearly not liking the fact that he was only in a supporting
role. Plastic Woman and I are currently coordinating our
activities with Commissioner Gordon. Terry heard Ethan groan,
but to his credit the archer held his tongue. Green Arrow knew as
well as anyone that the League was currently stretched thin due to
the attack on the Watchtower.

Any sign of
Luthor yet? Terry finally asked icily.

No,
Black Canary replied quickly.

His evident
irritation with the argument caused the others to quickly shut up.
Bruce, having overheard the squabble up on the Watchtower, allowed
himself a hint of a smile as Terry started to take charge.

Shining
Knight and Plastic Woman, give Gordon your full cooperation, Terry
ordered. Youd better respect her orders or Terrys
unspoken threat hung in the air, but the others caught it. Of course,
the young Batman knew fully well that the Commissioner could eat any
of them alive if they gave her any lip.

He didnt tell
them that though. They could find out on their own.

Arrow,
Canary, Terry added. Im almost there. Keep searching, Ill
be in touch. He angled the car and pressed down the throttle. The
car hurtled towards Bludhaven at top velocity.

A concussion,
two broken ribs, a few bruises and a fractured tibia, Dr. Stephen
Carter said calmly. Nothing we cant heal. The blonde headed
doctor had been examining David, who was currently lying tiredly on
one of the infirmary beds. The teenager hadnt been seriously
injured until hed crashed headlong into Superman and Donna Troy
following his escape from the speed force.

Wally watched
curiously as the doctor turned to face him. The Speedster had thought
that he was the original Booster Gold at first and had been wondering
why Michael Carter was playing doctor in the infirmary. Shayera had
been the one to tell him that Stephen was Michaels son and that he
was a doctor.

Well have
to run some tests on you, Stephen frowned thoughtfully. I see
no apparent injuries, but theres no telling what effect being in
the speed force has done to your molecular structure. We need to make
sure that its stable.

Wally looked at
Shayera as the doctor wandered off, muttering to himself as he pulled
up some files on a nearby computer console. A nurse came over and
gave David a shot of anesthesia. She then wheeled him into a nearby
room so they could realign the bone fragments on the lower part of
his right leg.

Shaywhat
the hell is going on? Wally asked in desperation. The last thing
he clearly remembered was fighting the Key. There were some blurry
memories from his time in the speed force, but that was it. The
Scarlet Speedster gulped when he saw that Shayera Hol of all people
was crying.

Shay?
Wally asked carefully. He put his arm around his adoptive sister.
Itll be okay, everythings fine now. Shayera cried harder,
but Wally could tell they were tears of joy. But Wally wasnt sure
if he could do the same. Despite his confusion at the world around
him, Wallace Rudolph West understood three things.

Linda was dead.
Barry was dead. Iris was dead.

His wife and
children were gone.

..

Arrow, I
dont care if youre scared of heightsget up there! Terry
yelled. Green Arrow stared warily up at the grappling wire. The
building must be at least twenty stories tall.

Im not
suicidal, Ethan grumbled stubbornly. Terry fought back the urge to
throttle the archer.

Ive seen
you scale heights before, Batman replied, exasperated. Ethan shook
his head.

Not this big.
No wayIm not going up this!

Terry sighed.
The Question had recently contacted Bruce, who had just contacted
him, about a few leads. It turned out that Luthor secretly owned two
warehouses and a small company called Vogel Tech Engineering.
Apparently the three buildings were involved in a lucrative trade in
blackmarket weaponry. Erin Szasz had suspected Luthors
involvement, but hadnt had solid proof to bring to the
authorities.

Terry didnt
know where she had found it, but apparently the Question had found
enough evidence to link Luthor to these buildings. Black Canary was
currently checking out the warehouse down at the wharf. Question had
volunteered herself to check on the other warehouse. This left Terry
and Ethan to break into Vogel Tech.

Now if only he
could get the stubborn archer moving.

Arrow!
Terry threatened. Then an evil smile crossed his lips.

Well, I guess
I can tell Sir James

Bah! Sir
Jimmy-chan can go rot! Ethan yelled. But the archer had finally
grabbed a hold of the grapling gun. Ethan pressed a button and found
himself sliding quickly up the wire. Terry nodded his head and took
flight. The two men had decided to break in at opposite ends of the
building.

Terry couldnt
help smirking though. Sir Jimmy-chan? Sir Shines At Night? How many
nicknames did Queen have for the man?

Batman grew
serious again as he lighted atop the small skyscraper. He pulled a
small laser from his utility belt and set to work at a small
ventilation grate. Terry only hoped that Bruce had already hacked in
and shut down the security system as they had planned.

Terry missed the
fact that his presence hadnt gone unnoticed.
