Flash-"Gotcha."
*I rush around grabbing people and taking them from Gotham to Philadelphia. All they'll notice is a change of scenery. My aura protects them from becoming jelly in my hands. Big city. Takes me 5, maybe 10 minutes to clear it out at my top speed. I can't tell the difference. 20 minutes are like days to me.*
:Back in Gotham:
:FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFLSH!:
Flash-"It's a ghost town. Didn't touch the crazies."
OOC: Whoa HO! Leave some action for some other Hero's.
Dinah rode thru the streets on her Motorcycle, not seeing anything overly unusual, and not knowing exactly what she was looking for.
A slight flicker caught the side of her eyes. Turning, she looked up to see the Bat Signal burning in the sky.
Come here Doggie! COME here!
Dinah turned her attention earthbound again and looked towards the man standing in the middle of the street, he was clapping his hands and slapping his knees as if calling for a dog. As if meaning she didnt see a dog anywhere.
O..kay..just freaky. Following the mans gaze down the street she saw a car at the far end swerving down the Road. Jumping off her bike she ran across the road and pulled him out of the way. As the car drove by the man chased it
Dog! Come back!!
Dinah let him go, with a perplexed look on her face, that mirrored the few by-standers faces who had witnessed the event.
Walking back across the street to her cycle she wondered what this was all about.
Who would make a virus that would play with a persons head?
She turned a corner coming to a park and stopped.
A crowd of people were there, in various stages of..whatever this thing was. Some fighting, some yelling, a few crying.
Dinah got off her cycle and walked towards them. Feeling a tug on her leg she looked down at the little girl there. She must have been around 6, with dark brown hair and a smile that reminded Dinah of Lian.
Hello. She said.
The little girl smiled and pointed. Look at the circus!
Dinah turned to look in the direction the girl was pointing, only seeing a small cluster of trees.
Honey, I dont see anything.
The child started to cry. No one else does either!
Dinah kneeled down Oh! Honey dont cry.
Okay Bruce I have no idea whats going on, but youd better get that antidote right now.
HEY! Bring it on you purple man! Jerking her head up she looked to see two men fighting viciously.
Standing up from the girl she got a slight head rush. Running over to the men she planted herself in between them. Now Boys, lets play nice. Blocking a few punches, she quickly disabled them and left them to lay on the grass, breathing softly in their Black Canary induced slumber.
Turning to head back to the girl she found herself alone in the park. Spinning around she checked the ground behind her. Where she had left the men was empty.
Okay..think clear. Bruce said it played with reality. Noticing her head still felt like it had just had a head rush she leaned against a nearby tree. Everything seemed as if she was in a weird floaty dream. She hadnt seen any indication that other people felt like this, so she surmised it must effect people differently.
Pretty Bird!
Dinah turned Ollie? His familiar form sauntered into view. Ollie..?
Bruces words went through her mind
It messes with your brain and distorts reality from fantasy.
No..No..youre not here.
Of course I am you can feel me. He reached out and touched her arm, and then reached as if to hold her. I love you Dinah.
Turning she shut her eyes.
Its fantasy, Hold it together. Opening her eyes she turned to find him right next to her. Looking into his face she shook her head. No. Pulling her arm away. You lost that right.
Doesnt mean I stopped though.
Her throat tightened and she did the only logical thing she could think of
.She ran. Sprinting across the empty park. She ran across the street and into a Laundromat. Closing the door behind her she leaned on it and sighed noticing for the first time that her cheeks were damp. Hastily wiping off the tears she turned to survey the business shed entered and froze.
It messes with your brain and distorts reality from fantasy.
It messes with your brain and distorts reality from fantasy.
Ollie stood there in his jeans topless, nothing she hadnt seen more than once. But it was the young brown haired woman who had her arms around his waist and her lips pressed to his that she only needed to see once.
It messes with your brain and distorts reality from fantasy.
Youre not real. The mirage turned and looked at her. I love you Dinah.
No you dont! Why would you do this then? WHY?!? You always were a shameless womanizer, and I should have stayed far away from you. It could have been anyone but you. ANYONE BUT YOU! She screamed as tears went down her face.
She closed her eyes
No! Dont cry, its not real. She tugged at herself, willing the fantasy to be gone. Opening them again she found it still there, this time much more vivid in the nature of it. Spinning around she ran outside and around the side of the building into the alley way. Vaguely seeing a flash of red.
Flash, meaning someone called him. Hal must still be around.
Sliding her back against the brick wall she sat down and glanced at her legs. Her fishnets were torn. She smiled she was sitting in an alley as reality shifted as she knew it, throwing her weird images, and she had torn fishnets.
She leaned her head back against the wall. Bruce would have everything under control soon, all she had to do was wait.
Stupid..stupid..should have stayed at the Clock tower. Much good you did.
She felt a hand touch her. Starting she glanced down the alley to see a Huge pink elephant walk past on the street. Glancing in the other direction her heart jumped. Closing her eyes she said Please, PLEASE just go away, I know youre not real.
Dinah! I would have thought youd be happy to see me.
No..Its the virus
Even so.
Now youre just rationalizing this, smart virus thingy. It really does mess with you mentally definitely NOT Joker.
A sigh came Oh, Dinah. Ted was right about you.. He knew you better than your own mother. Dinah opened her eyes and gazed up at her mother, she was young, around Dinahs own age, if not a little older.
Standing up she answered I suppose, but all those years of you not liking what I did.
Youre a stubborn girl Dinah. Dinah closed her eyes. So what now, I get to see you all angry at me? Hating that I snuck behind your back? Hating that I followed yours and my Uncles footstep?
The image stayed quiet. No, I want to say how very, very proud I am of you. So very proud. Her mother held out her arms to her.
Dinah looked up at the slip of sky that showed between the building tops with tears running down her cheeks.
Bruce..please hurry.
Letting her mother hold her she sank to the ground tired, closing her eyes she drifted into state of bliss in happy denial of the circumstances.
