NEXT CHAPTER UP NEXT WEDNESDAY


3rd Person POV

"Silas?" J'onn questions, looking around where frost was covering the room

"It's freezing in here." M'Gann notes, walking in with J'onn

"Found him!" J'onn calls, rushing over to Silas on the ground and M'Gann rushes over too. "What happened?"

"A Phantom." Silas answers, his face covered in frost. "It burst out of me and attacked me. It was so cold, worse than I can ever imagine. Like living death."

"We didn't send all the Phantoms back to the Phantom Zone." J'onn whispers. "One got out."

"Willow knows you're here?" Brainy asks as Marvin walks into the hero cave and sits down at the computer, him and Brainy trying to find Supergirl

"Of course she knows I'm here." Marvin says

"Hey, I was just asking." Brainy says. "You didn't tell her what we were up to last time."

"I told her where I was, not what I'm doing." Marvin tells Brainy, looking over at him. "She only needs to hear results, she doesn't need to hear the process."
"You sure about that?" Brainy asks. "Keeping her in the dark like that?"

"I'm not keeping her in the dark." Marvin says. "I am prioritizing information. Her knowing that we had something planned and then it failed will do nothing to help her."

"And where is she now?" Brainy asks

"She's at her apartment." Marvin says, looking back at the computer. "I have Nia watching her."

Brainy has nothing left to say because the news of Lex Luthor's release is streaming on the TV. "I'm here with Lex Luthor.How does it feel to be a free man?" The reporter asks

"Um, in a word, beautiful." Lex answers

"Well, Rhonda, it feels wrong." Brainy says as if he is Lex and Marvin looks over, slightly amused. "Because I'm a madman who should be rotting in prison."

"Without you, my future wouldn't be so bright." Lex says

"You shouldn't have a future." Brainy growls, getting up to yell at the TV. "You shouldn't even be able to sleep at night. You should be haunted by a Kryptonian heart b*ating ceaselessly beneath your floorboards!"

"Brainy! Alex! We need thermal blankets!" J'onn yells, rushing in with Silas who is freezing with frost covering his body

Brainy and Marvin jump up and rush into action. They get Silas into the medical bed and cover him with blankets

"What happened to him?" Brainy asks as Marvin grabs Silas' chin to move his face to the side so that he could see the gash in his cheek

"A Phantom slipped by us last night." J'onn explains. "It attacked Silas."

"How did it get by us?" Brainy asks

"It nested inside of him." J'onn says

"But if it escaped him, why attack?" M'Gann asks

"I have three roommates, I don't know where they are." Silas says, worry in his voice

"It's okay, it's okay." J'onn tells Silas. "We'll find them. Brainy, get me everything you can on Phantoms. We didn't know they could possess humans, what what else don't we know about them?"

"I'm so cold." Silas chatters

"Where's Alex and Dreamer?" J'onn asks, looking around

"Nia is with Willow Greene." Brainy reports
