Justice League: Batman's Missing

Journey To Gateway City

Shadow Fox's eyes are glued to the tracker screen, her heart racing as she watches Batman's red dot slowly move out of Coast City. She feels a sharp pang of anxiety in her chest, knowing that her father is in grave danger. She swiftly contacts Flash, her voice trembling with urgency as she asks, "Hey, Flash? How long does it take for you to get to Star City?" 

Flash responds in a flash, "Nearly six hours." 

Sitting next to her, Wonder Woman turns her head to Green Arrow and Shadow Fox and says, "So, if it takes six hours to get to Star City, it should take roughly the same amount of time to reach Coast City, right?"

Green Arrow adjusts his position and responds, "That depends on how fast we're going."  

Shadow Fox thinks for a moment and then asks, "What's the distance between Central and Gateway City?" She is trying to calculate the time it will take to reach Coast City, where her father is in danger. 

Suddenly, she realizes the math and says with a hint of hope, "Six hours to Star City, six hours to Coast City, that means we'll probably reach Gateway City tomorrow morning."

Green Arrow adds, "Maybe." Shadow Fox's mind is racing with all the possibilities, and she can't help but think about her father's safety. 

As they move through the sunsetting and deserted roads, Shadow Fox's heart is pounding with every passing moment. The sound of the wind whistling through the closed doors of the truck is loud, and it feels like it's mocking her. She fidgets with her fingers, hoping and wishing that Batman is safe and not severely injured. 

With every passing moment, Shadow Fox's determination to save Batman grows more vital, and she vows to do everything in her power to bring him back home safely. She knows that she cannot give up until she finds him and brings him back to safety. She looks out of the front window and sees everything passing by quickly. The moon is shining brightly in the sky as it slowly rises, and the stars are twinkling like diamonds. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, knowing that she needs to focus on the task at hand. 

As the sun nearly disappeared beyond the horizon and the pale moon slowly rose above them, Shadow Fox leaned against the car door, her eyes drooping with exhaustion. Despite her fatigue, she couldn't bring herself to sleep, not with her father's life hanging in the balance. Meanwhile, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow dozed intermittently while Flash pushed the truck's back end with all his might. Superman kept pace with Flash, using his incredible speed to help move the other truck as they raced toward Gateway City. 

In the other truck, the remaining members of the League slumbered peacefully, worn out from the long hours of travel. Aquaman and Green Lantern leaned against each other, their faces relaxed in sleep, while J'onn and Cyborg slumped against the seats, snoring softly. 

As Shadow Fox gazed out the window, she couldn't help but let out a weary sigh. She was relieved to have been able to contact Robin and update him on their progress. She informed him that Batman had a tracker on him, and her brother was visibly relieved upon hearing this news. Despite the gravity of the situation, Shadow Fox found some comfort in knowing they were making progress and that her father's safety was closer to being secured.  

As the sun slowly dipped beneath the horizon, a warm glow spread across the sky, casting long shadows across the land. The Justice League and Shadow Fox were embarking on a journey down a winding road that snaked through the wilderness. Superman contacted Shadow Fox and Cyborg, who had dozed off in the other truck, to wake up and turn on the headlights. He let out a groggy grunt and fumbled with the switch, finally managing to turn them on. 

Shadow Fox turned on the high beams, illuminating the way ahead with a bright, white light that pushed back the darkness. The light revealed the twists and turns of the road that lay ahead, casting long shadows that danced across the trees and rocks. As they continued down the winding road, Shadow Fox noticed a road sign up ahead that read 'COAST CITY 30 MILES'. She glanced at the clock and noted that it was 11:30 P.M. The clock's numbers glowed in the darkness, casting an eerie red light across the dashboard. 

Shadow Fox estimated that they would reach Gateway City around six or seven in the morning, maybe even sooner. She contacted Superman quietly to update him on their progress, being careful not to wake up Diana and Oliver, who were sleeping next to her in the truck. Her voice was low and calm, but her mind was racing with excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead. 

Superman told Shadow Fox to get some rest, knowing that the journey ahead would be long and tiring. Hazelle, however, doubted that she would be able to sleep. Flash reassured her that they would wake her up when they arrived at Gateway City. With that, Hazelle closed her eyes and fell asleep, feeling the gentle sway of the truck as it navigated the winding road ahead. The silence was only broken by the sound of the trucks' engines and the occasional wind that passed. 

Hazelle was soundly asleep in the truck when a familiar male voice roused her from her slumber. She slowly opened her eyes, still feeling groggy and disoriented, and saw Flash holding the driver's door open. His face was beaming with excitement as he called out to her in a gentle voice, "Shadow Fox? Shadow Fox, wake up."  

As Hazelle rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, she groaned and asked Barry, "What time is it?" Barry chuckled and replied, "It's six in the morning. Guess where we are?" Hazelle couldn't make out her surroundings at first, but as her senses slowly returned, she realized that they had arrived in Gateway City. Her heart started racing with excitement as she exclaimed, "Gateway City!?" 

Barry helped Hazelle out of the truck, and as she stood up, the other members of the Justice League began to stir behind the trucks. Clark turned to her as Barry still held her hand and smiled at the two, "We're here." Hazelle brushed her hair back, feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through her body. She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She knew that Batman was going to be in Gateway City, and she couldn't wait to see him. 

As Barry suddenly released her hand, Hazelle felt a pang of disappointment. She tried to push the feeling aside, but it lingered. "Why am I disappointed, though? It's not like I have a crush on... oh. I have a crush on him!" She realized, feeling her cheeks turn red with embarrassment. She couldn't believe that she had developed feelings for him. 

Diana had her hands on her hips, "Yes, we're here. But the question is: What about Batman?" Hazelle pressed her watch and looked at the tracker, which showed that Batman was in Gateway City. "He's here," She said with a grin, feeling her heart race with anticipation for what was to come. She couldn't wait to see him and bring him home again. 

Hazelle glanced around, taking in the city's sights and sounds. The sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm glow over the city's tall buildings. She could hear the distant sound of traffic and the occasional bird chirping. The air was crisp and refreshing, and she felt a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air. 

Hazelle's heart was pounding with excitement and anticipation as she stood surrounded by the Justice League members who had gathered around her. She looked up at the towering figures of the superheroes, each one radiating an aura of power and strength. The air was electric with anticipation, and Hazelle could feel the weight of responsibility that came with being part of this elite team of superheroes, ready to take on any challenge that dared to cross their path.

Beside her were the strongest, most capable allies she could ever ask for, united in their mission to save a dear friend and a father figure to her. Hazelle looked around at her fellow heroes, taking in every detail of their costumes and gear. She marveled at the intricacy of their designs and how every element spoke to their unique abilities and strengths. From Wonder Woman's lasso of truth to The Flash's lightning bolt emblem, each detail was a testament to their expertise.

As the team prepared for their mission, Hazelle felt a surge of adrenaline pumping through her veins. She was eager to embark on the wildest, most dangerous, yet most rewarding escapades that Gateway City had to offer. She was ready to face any challenge head-on and prove herself as a valuable team member. The possibilities were endless, and the thrill of the unknown beckoned to her.

Hazelle took a deep breath and focused her thoughts on the task at hand. She knew that she had a crucial role to play in the team's success, and she was more than ready to embrace it. She recalled every detail of the plan they had crafted earlier, and her mind raced with ideas on how to make it even better. She was laser-focused, determined, and ready to take on whatever challenges lay ahead.

This was not just an adventure but a calling to fulfill a greater purpose. Hazelle was determined to make a difference in the world and rise to the occasion. She was ready to push herself to her limits and be the best version of herself. This epic adventure would test her skills, but she was confident that she could meet the challenge head-on and emerge victorious.
