Somewhere over the Pacific....

[jla-extras.livejournal.com]

There are a number of islands marked "uninhabited" in the Pacific Ocean. Some of these islands are the merest specks, heaps of rocks that some year may vanish forever beneath the pounding of the waves. Others are home to species never seen by humans, flora and fauna that live, thrive, and die without knowing anything beyond the few square miles they call home.

Other islands are only labeled "uninhabited" because their residents have taken great pains to make sure that their privacy remains inviolate.

Unfortunately, one such island is about to have company.

As the JSA's Iron Eagle picks the site up on the scope, there's little doubt that the island's welcoming committee will soon pick them up as well, if they haven't already.

Dr. Mid-Nite is at the helm, carrying anyone who needed carrying from the San Francisco rendezvous point.

His jaw is set tightly as his deft hands maneuver over the controls.

Trying not to think about how long Dinah's been here.

They've been spotted. Within minutes of the alarm going off, three black darts rocket into the sky. As they draw closer, the strike force can see that they are robot planes, smaller than even the Aerie One, but fast, pulling gees no human pilot could tolerate, and their wings bristle with ordinance.

A green light rockets towards the island.

A good friend is being held captive. Hal will not let her remain there any longer.

Water sprays out behind Jay in a line as he runs across the surface of the Pacific.

He makes a beeline for the island. He hopes to get Dinah out of there as quickly as possible. And he hopes that the Fastest Man Alive isn't too late...

Sivana stared at the control panels. "We've got company, Arthur. I'm not sure if my air drones will actually be enough to bring them down...their one pilot has...how do they say it...'got game'?

"Additionally, we've got *a* Flash and at least two Green Lanterns in the mix, not to mention the Big Red Goofball himself. Permission to send out my anti-Marvel missile?"

Light saw the screens and nodded. Very impressive turnout.

He took stock. His minions were ready and scattered. The anti-teleport mechanisms were in place, with only Light himself knowing the failsafe.

He was as ready as it got.

"I had hoped to save that surprise for later, but yes, it's important to take some out of the game, at least. You're in charge of island tacticals and of the anti-Marvel weapon. If that should fail, use procedures and get out of here...if nothing else, one of us has to be on the outside."

The Iron Eagle is one of the best aircraft on the planet.

However, it's hard to compensate for the speed of Mercury.

Faster than most anything has a right to fly, a streak of white shoots straight up from the island and, choosing the Eagle as its first target, hits the bottom of the aircraft at top speed, with the strength of Hercules coming full bore.

Seemingly from twenty places at once, vintage airplanes made of green fire begin straffing the island's ground to air defenses. Alan flies in closely behind them, engulfed in emerald fire and looking angry.
