#quickquestion

Superman: Happy Pride Month to those who celebrate.

Batman already is wearing a custom pride batman outfit, and his cape is covered in pins. He grunts in acknowledgment.

Flash is making out with the Question in the closet, and somehow nobody notices.

Green Arrow is somehow decked out in proud dad mech that fits with his costume.

Huntress is guarding the closet where Question and the Flash are making out.

I love it and I need to work on the new chapter

To be honest I have like 6 different ideas on how it can go

My writing style has changed so much as well

.......

Everyone who lived in Hub city knew who the question was, and therefore, they knew the devil of hub city. However, this was a secret. Everyone who lived in Hub city wouldn't give up for anything. The older people of the city knew of the inhuman child that the church held in secret. His many escape attempts that always ended in failure.

The city doesn't like those who try to hurt their local cryptid. Even the villains of this city knew better than to attack when a sick day happened. The city, for its diversity, was all connected to the wealthy and the poor. They all followed the Question's conspiracy board website, which is held as a local online newstand of sorts. However, the online forums held another use to the people of Hub city. When the sign off changed on the daily posts, they knew they had to prepare.

..

During these times, the more wealthy citizens would have the excuse of time to leave town for the week, or business came up in the city over. The poorer would flee to Gotham, and those who couldn't leave or weren't locals who knew what to watch out for were on best behavior. Everyone knew if the Question was out of commission another would take his place, and it wasn't the retired villainess who ran the nice apartment building.

You see, Hub City is known as little Gotham, and take that in the worst way you can. When the local hero is out, you might get lucky in a sense and get the drunk. Who yes is violent and unpredictable, but you won't have a mass casualties event if you get the smiling woman. The villains and heroes alike learned fast if the Question was gone for more than a night. You better be on best your best behavior.

It was a peaceful day. It had to be when the news spread like wildfire that the conspiracy forum hasn't been touched in over 24 hours. Tensions were high as Hub City became more peaceful than Metropolis overnight.

And when Lex Luther came into the city crashing into a building in a life or death battle with Superman as the titular reporter, Lois Lane documented the entire fight, the locals rushed out of the street not screaming as if they were afraid the noise would alert the smiling woman.

As Lex and Superman was about to charge at each other they both seemingly frozen in mid battle. The air grew heavy with the locals watching on in terror as an uneasy silence overtook the city.

Theories jumped around in Lois's mind. She needed an interview with that man if he was even a man. She will start with the locals they always know more than they let on.

Before either Superman or Lex Luther could explain any confusion or speak to what was holding them the crash of a glass bottle to the pavement made them look at the man holding them apart.

The man sneered, his voice slurred, and he smelled of alcohol. "You made me drop my drink." He pushes Superman into the pavement then rips Lex out of his mech. "This ain't your city, nor is this racket good for anyone sanity or rest." He huffs seemingly sobering up in an instant his face replaced his annoyed look with a bored expression.

Superman pulls himself out of the pavement but is stunned hen the drunk throws Lex into his arms. "What are you?"

The man seems to take a bottle out of thin air walking away. "Thirsty." He huffs as he walks off into the distance.

Unable to follow having Lex in his arms, Superman just watches him leave and shares a confused look with Lois, who caught the entire thing on live film.

......

Micheal is cleaning the nonexistent mess from Victor's apartment as an excuse to watch him. Victor was still sick, and demons and angels both got sick despite not being mortal. Granted, those diseases were quite rare, and when it happens, it drains the creature of energy until the sickness has passed. Victor was also still a quarter human, so it was even worse for him when it happened.

Micheal cleared his throat as he replaced the boiling ice pack from Victor's head. "One of those superhero battles happened here. I put a stop to it before Gabriel could permanently stop it. It was the kryptonian and a human fighting." He frowns, watching the new ice pack melt even faster.

Against his better judgements he picks up Victor's phone. "This is the kid's phone, and I am not the child."

Victor's wings were splayed out as he writhed in pain from the sickness that racked his body. His tail thrashing back and forth, he was in a dead slumber a sweet miniscule relief from the pain. He couldn't even acknowledge what was being told to him.

"It's a shame human medication doesn't work for you, I can't give you ours either that would, well it was a torture method back in the day, wasn't it." Michael's rambling stops hearing Victor's phone ring. It has been doing that on and off. His new friends must be concerned.

The voice on the other end is female. "You're not Vic."

"That I am not. Before you get alarmed, he is currently sick with a fever." Michael frowns, looking over Victor. "He is unable to complete his daily tasks and jobs."

The voice is quiet for a moment. "Are you Michael?"

"The boy told you about me." He pauses. "Again he is ill."

"I can come and bring him some soup."

Micheal interrupts her immediately. "You will do no such thing he cannot consume anything or he will vomit. I will not compromise the little liquids I have been able to get into his body."

The female voice pauses quieter. "He's really bad, isn't he."

"He will recover." Michael hums hanging up the phone. Maybe he should not have answered Victor's phone.

.......

Helena's phone blared out an obnoxious ringtone before he picked the phone up at an alarming speed, interrupting the card game between Oliver and Dianah. "Hello Que?"

A scratchy groan of a voice answers the line. "You know my name, you don't have to.." He sneezes before he can finish his sentence.

Helena puts her phone on speaker so the rest can hear and talk.

"Hey Vic you alright, you've been out of commission for two weeks, I was worried your parademon family stole ya." Oliver joked to a sniff over the line.

"Just demon Oliver." Vic is heard sniffling over the call. "Not an alien." He mutters after.

"You sound like shit Que, what happened?" Helena hums relieved to know her friend is alive.

"Got sick... still recovering." Another sneeze is heard followed by coughing.

Dianah chuckles. "Rest up, you'll be well enough soon you can come by star towers."

Victor sniffs. "I will come by when I feel better. I just called to let you guys know I am ok."

"Wait before you hang up." Oliver rushes out, finally tackling the big issue that plagued his mind. "What is in your city that stopped Supes and Lex?"

"Can tou tell me what this mysterious man who stopped Superman with a single hand is?" Lois Lane stood in front of a local of Hub City.

The construction man sighs blowing smoke from his cigar into her face. "You're lucky it was the drunk that broke up that fight." He sighs again. "You ain't from here you won't get far."

"Wait sir what do you mean by that?" She tries to follow but the mam went back to his job site. She huffs. "Jimmy how many is that?"

"Oh uh 56 now, and the answers are consistent." Jimmy hums smiling.

"Oh for heavens sake, for a city that's worse then Gotham it's hard to find these colorful goons that love to blab." Lois sighs spotting a red headed man who looks like he hasn't slept in days drinking something that shouldn't exist.

"Ah excuse me sir what do you know of the man who stopped Superman with a single hand?" Lois asks holding out her microphone to the tired man.

The red-headed man blinks. He takes a drink from his cup that has an extremely strong smell coming from it. It reminded Lois of the barely classified tea that was nothing but pure caffeine. "Look uh..." He fiddles with his gloves looking down clearly uncomfortable. His voice reminds her of something and she can't help but think of Clark telling her about a faceless conspiracy theories that actually stopped a disaster.

"Why are the people of this city so tight lipped about its villains and heroes? Is it true that Hub City is the place heroes and villains vanish or meet their their ends? If this city is more dangerous then Gotham, why are there no more heroes or even villains trying to destroy the city out in the open?"

The man blinks, frowning. "I uh its early?." He mumbles, taking another drink. "Risk is high attacking during the day..... villains and heroes know better than to do anything during the day.... it's not Gotham.... night is dangerous business closes at sunset." He mutters under his breath. "Fighting during the day.... that's suicide."

Lois tries to ask more questions, but the man rushes past her mutter about finding a stronger drink, and something about smiling woman lurks during the day.

"Well at least that was something." Lois sighs. "Maybe Clark is having a better time."

Hard cut to Clark

"So what about this kid. Is he safe? What happened? Did he get away from the abuse." Clark is kneeling helping a elderly woman with her shoes.

"My my deary aren't you kind. The little devil kid like from the Bible, poor thing always running around here never could get away from his chains." She hums. "Ah hello young man what are you doing down there."

Clark smiles and gets up going through this again. "Ah well I was asking around about a little boy with horns and a long tail."

"Ah yes the little devil such a sad little thing....."

.......

Wally wasn't paying attetion when he walked headfirst into the said man he was waiting for.

"Pray tell why you are in front of my room Flash?" Question seemed more out of it then normal and if Wally could see his face he would probably see a tired man.

Wally fidgeted in his spot, and quickly blurted out almost too fast. "I saw something in the woods in Central city and bats thinks I'm crazy and thinks I should let it go but I knew it was there and it smelt of ash. I need you to help me but you have to be in civilian clothes and I know nobody knows your identity and not even bats does but I need your help so I'll keep it a secret I just need a answer is it linked to illegal dumping some cult parademons underground I just need to know its behind a church and a school."

The Question stops it is impossible to read that blank face of his. He spoke in a tired voice. "I'll be in the park tomorrow find me."

......

Victor immeditally regretted the words that came out of his mouth as he sunk down on the untouched bed in his room. The door was firmly shut but he never risked taking off his mask in the watchtower. Why did he even say yes? Was it the sleep deprivation, or the concert he did in conjunction of a research mission that linked spontaneous combustion to a new soda brand. He didn't dwell on the answer because he knew it was Wally's smile after he said yes that did him in.

Just because he had a crush on the other hero didn't make him soft no matter what his uncle said. He was a half demon something that shouldn't exist (he was actually 3/4th demon but don't dwell on that) granted he was forced to watched the tapes of his mother being violated and then given birth to him.

That church orphanage was horrid. He shook his head of the thoughts. Demons shouldn't exist on the human plane because of the war and blah blah his uncle Micheal and aunt Gabriel regret there part. Why was he lingering on this he didn't care much about where he came from. He only used his powers as a disguise when he played on stage. What can he say people like the horns bone wings and tail for a punk rocker.

Oh fuck he thought to himself. Wally would recognize him just for that. Maybe not he only plays in his home city and nothing ever really leaves hub city. So he would be fine.

.......

Wally paced in the park he wasn't confident at all that the Question would even show up. He was embarrassed for even asking. Why woukd he even say yes to his request? The only guys who were close to him was Arrow, Black canery, huntress, and supergirl. He wasn't one.

A man behind Wally tapped him on the shoulder, the piercing blue eyes with the heavy bags under his eyes stood out, more so it was his favorite singer and he nearly passed out.

"Wally, you've got me out here." He yawns "so where is this area you want me to investigate?"

Wally was floored, this man was the Question, he was stunning and his poor bi heart couldn't take it. "R-right uh do you need a coffee first there is a nice Cafe down the street." Wally internally screams this was The Question of all people why did he just ask him to get coffee together.

The Question stretches and shrugs. "It may surprise you but I only drink tea. However fine, and by the way call me Victor in public alright."

Wally's mouth went dry as he nodded. "Yeah ok"

......

Victor was kind of floored, why did Wally even ask him to get coffee? He wasn't attractive he didn't think, but Wally's face was red when he smiled at him. Wally was probably getting a cold. He took a sip of his tea. "So tell me more of this incident."

Wally looks up startled and chokes on his coffee. "Oh me, oh right the incident, why I called you here, that incident." He trailed off.

Victor looked up with a raised brow. "Yeah the whole cracks in the ground, smell of ash, that thing."

Wally's face was red in embarrassment, he kind of forgot about that and switched to making googly eyes at Victor. "Yeah uh the ground shook slightly and I smelt ash in the air Bats thought the shaking was odd but he chalked it up to the rouges here "

"I see so maybe its someone underground creating something sinister." The gears were turning in his head he didn't notice Wally stare at him with desire in his eyes.

"Uh yeah sure."

"We should go now." Victor gets up this was a quiet to-city it wasn't what he was used to. It felt peaceful and he felt like a stranger trespassing.

Wally nods.

.......

Victor scowls he hated churches, not because they hurt him, more so they made him physically ill reminding him of his youth. Being behind it was more of a relief in a symbolic sense.

"So this is where it happened." Wally frowns seeing no evidence. Victor is going to think he is crazy.

Victor smelled ash in the air. The area itself wasn't out of place it was peaceful, and nothing was out of place. But that ash in the air made him feel at ease for some reason.

"Something is off about this place, it still smells of ash "

"Well yeah that smell hasn't left, so you believe me that something is off."

Victor nods "I'll be back here, however I expect you to come with me. I'm not familiar with this city."

Wally nods eagerly "of course maybe coffee again, oh wait tea?"

"Sure Wally." Victor walks away he needed to get back to his apartment.

"Wait let me take you back." He freezes for a moment. "I mean it takes awhile to get back to hub city from here like 12 hours let me shorten that." His face was red again.

Victor looks confused "It's fine Wally you look like this area is getting you sick your face is all red like your hair, it makes your green eyes stand out."

Wally's face goes a few darker shades of red as he picks up Victor who gives a startled shout. He was lighter then he thought also very muscular. "No no I insist."

.....

It was a shorter run then what Wally wanted. Victor yelled at him to stop when they arrived in hub city.

Victor brushed off the nonexistent dust on his outfit and shivered at the cooler weather of the northern city. "Thank you for the life my apartment is right over there. I'll uh see you later."

"Wait." Wally shouted. "We should exchange number just in case."

Victor frowns why did Wally need his number he could just use the watchtower communication. Maybe he needed to be more private and he understood that, and truly respected that. "Of course keeping this private." He takes out a pen and writes his number on Wally's arm. "Call me later we can go over our notes."

......

The man without a face looked again at the clock, the unforgiving face read 3:46am. His sleeping habits never did get any better. His phone had about six unanswered phone calls from Wally. He had long forgotten his phone was in some corner of his room in favor of staring at his theory board.

There had to be a link between this new energy drink and spontaneous combustion. He huffs in frustration and flings his papers all over the floor in anger. The papers flung aside reveal a large picture of a symbol that matched a tattoo from birth he has on his back. That was a mystery that he didn't want to touch today.

He rubs his forehead in annoyance and heads outside his apartment, removing the part of his mask so he can light up a cigarette. He knows he needs to quit, and he knows Wally wants him to quit but the smoke felt good in his lungs. Besides he wasn't one of thoes nuts that didn't believe doctors, it just felt good to have smoke in his lungs.

Maybe he did need to revisit the mystery surrounding his lineage.

......

Victor removes his mask after waking up and getting prepared for the day. He got a total of three hours of sleep a new record. He finally picked up his phone and cursed to himself, he forgot about Wally. He half heartedly called the otyer red head up.

After three rings Wally picks up. "Look i don't care what conspiracy or whatever plot you were working on this was important. I can't believe you forgot Victor." A heavy sigh on the line coming from the scientist. "Lets just hear it."

"I think I might need a break." Victor answered quietly

"Excuse me?"

"I think i might need a break"

"Victor don't get my hopes up." Wally sighs "I got the rouges to take a break this week."

Victor sat back in his chair and it felt as if the weight of the world was on his shoulder. He felt exhausted more then normal. He could barely stifle a yawn. "Wally that sounds great i need to find a way to get to central city."

There is a pause on the line. "Victor, are you ok? Date night wasn't that important, we can reschedule."

Victor yawns again rubbing his forehead. "Mmh yeah sorry I got really involved in this... right sorry just been tired."

"Stay where you are I'm coming by." Wally knew Victor better then anyone and he knew that even an all nighter won't wear him out this bad. He is either getting sick or something is wrong.

.....

Victor didn't even have time to hang up when Wally was using the spar key he had to unlock his door. Wally's cool hand was like ice against his skin, it made him shiver. "I'm just tired you didn't have to run all the way here."

Wally on the other hand was pale. "Victor you feel like an oven."

"Mmh not that hot."

"What were you looking into, oh the new energy drink...." he looks around not finding a trace of the liquid in the aparment. "Did you take anything?"

"Thats preposterous Wally." Victor sighs and yawns. "Just took a shower "

Wally frowns looking around then freezes "your bleeding"

Victor feels something drip down his forehead going down his face. "Oh i guess I am."

......

Victor woke up in a familiar lab holding his head it felt like it was going to split in two. "Fuck Wally I didn't mean to forget date night but why am I in star labs."

Wally startled rushes over to Victor's side. "Oh your awake your fever broke like an hour ago we've been waiting for you to wake up."

"Fever?"

"You don't remeber this morning?"

"What? No shit did someone get into my apartment, do I need to move, did they take my notes?" He was starting to panic

"Nonono Vic you had a fever I came over when you were yawning on the phone. I took you here when you started to bleed hence the bandages around your head."

Victor feels the bandages under his hands. "What happened?"

"Well i know you hate getting tested on, but I panicked and so we took blood."

Victor waited for the bad news, cigarettes or whatever they had in the water of the orphanage is catching up to him.

"Well uh we couldn't find anything wrong but your blood well DNA isn't entirely human."

"I'm sorry but that can't be right."

"Look i even hacked into the justice league system to find a match but all I found was a similarity to a old artifact."

"What?"

"A sacrificial dagger used to summon the rules of hell, but there is no proof that is even real or if it was just parademons." Wall sighs and smiles "no matter what I'm going to be by your side. Remeber till death does us part."

Victor stayed quiet mulling over the millions of questions in his mind, but then he sighed. "Thank you Wally."

"But you know what this means." Wally smiles

Victor groans

"You're staying with me until you feel 100% and I'm taking you off league duties for the next two weeks."

Victor rolls his eyes. "Does bats know."

"Oh nobody has a clue about us."

Victor smiles "as it should be."
