Chapter 26 - SQUAD A.S.SEMBLE!!!

......9:20AM.......

Barry wakes up and curls his hand towards Caitlin only to find her gone.

He got up and checked the bathroom, but she wasn't there. He puts on his pants and left the room. When he opened the door, the scintillating aroma of food hit his face.

He finds Caitlin in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. Her hair was tied up to a bun and she was wearing only her u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r under a pink apron.

"Morning, darling", she said.

"Hmm, morning. What cha cooking?... smells nice", he asked.

"Come help me out first, then you'll see what I'm cooking", she said.

LATER THAT DAY...

4:50pm...

"I guess it's about time now", Barry said as he left his office at the police station.

On his way down, he saw Joe who asked, "Where are you off to, son? "

"I have some things I have to attend to.",he said bluntly.

(You wouldn't be saying that if you knew who he really is)

"Bye Joe",he said and went outside.

The cold wind blows softly against his face, he puts his hands in his pocket and inhales deeply...

*** WHOOSH ***

He superspeeds past a couple of blocks and kept going for a moment until he got to Gotham city.

Everyone was at first startled by how he showed up.

Then they regained their composure and said, "Hi".

Jordan walked up to him and said, "Uhm... Barry Allen, nice to meet you. The name's Jordan by the way, but you can call me Green Lantern"

"Hmm...nice. Barry Allen, the Flash. Pleased to meet you"

They were all in casuals and were discussing about Darkseid.

"I think we should rather launch a sneak attack on him. That way, it'll be difficult for him to come up with a counter strategy", J'onn said.

"He might be able to notice us. He is quite the formidable opponent. So it might be us getting tge surprise if that happens.", Jordan said.

Barry suddenly walked to the front and said, "I think the best thing is to clash head on. Superman can hold his own against Darkseid. Then the rest of us can continue to launch combined attacks against him, till we wear him down. That way, taking him down would be much easier."

After a moment, Bruce exclaimed, "Brilliant Plan!!"

"Seeing that you've agreed, when do we take him. Cause I'm all fired up and ready for action.", Jordan said.

"We take him down tonight, Leave him for another day and the destruction might become much worse. Suit up guys, we leave in an hour"

Jordan went to a corner, brought out a small green lantern.

"Praying, eh?",Barry said leaning against the wall.

Barry just chuckled and presses his wrist band, transforming in style.

"Woah! How did you do that?", Jordan and Diana asked at the same time.

"Just some tech my friend was working on", he replied casually then became fascinated as he saw the group of superheroes walking towards him.

Bruce came out wearing a black Carbon-fibre armor. His weapons were fully loaded. Superman followed behind him in his suit and next to Clark, J'onn stood suited up.

"Let's go over the strategy one more time...",Clark said.
