League She said she’ll tell us what she knows when she arrives So where is she Wonder Woman asked I was wondering the same thing Superman said as he stepped from the elevator There was trouble in Metropolis and I’m running late I thought I’d be the last to arrive Cyborg frowned I talked to her a while ago She was aboard one of our cargo planes waiting for The Flash They should have been here by now Green Lantern shrugged It’s probably nothing to worry about Still we could give them a call to make sure they’re okay
The Flash raced through the streets of Central City Its buildings seemed to blur as he dashed toward the small private airport where Huntress was waiting for him It was a day with one emergency after another Bank robberies jewelry heists and mad scientists had kept The Flash running all day He had been so busy he hadn’t had time to stop much less eat Moving at super-speed used a lot of energy If he didn’t keep fueled he’d slow down and eventually fall over So even though he was late he’d stopped at Tonio’s his favorite pizza joint Juggling the pizza box as he ate on the run had slowed him down a bit but it had been worth it He could feel his energy returning
He hoped Huntress wouldn’t be too mad at him for being late As the Scarlet Speedster bit into his seventh slice the airport came into sight I’ll offer Huntress the last piece he thought No way she’ll be mad at me after that The Flash knew Huntress would be waiting inside a Justice League cargo plane The hangar that housed it was right beyond the small control tower I’m still hungry The Flash muttered as he rounded the corner I could really use some dessert And suddenly there it was before him a huge creamy chocolate pie
