This is like a prelude to Golden Girls, that I got bored and I bought a new Blackest Night book. MY COLLECTIONS ALMOST COMPLTET! So Review! :D
Gotham City…
That Night…
"Ali?"
She took a deep breath and brought her hand up.
"Ali? Where are you? We need your help."
She grabbed the ring on her finger and tried to yank it off.
"Ali, I hope you know what's happening. The dead are coming back. That means my parents, Tim's parents…Yours. Ali, we need you over here."
She pulled on it; but the pain was unbearable. She screamed and let go, the black lightening that enveloped her body caused her to drop to her knees. Her ear piece falling out of her ear.
"ALI! Ali are you okay? Please! Answer us! We need you!" Dick's voice was loud and clear through the earpiece. "Ali, we need you, where ever you are…Please… Mom?"
Ali grabbed the earpiece and put it to her ear. "Honey, I'm fine. Just got hurt a little." The Black Lantern Ali smiled deviously. "Your mother is fine."
Keystone City….
At Sun Set….
"Hartley?" Kiwi stepped forward, her hands wrapping around the handle bars. "Hartley? Are you in here?"
"Kiwi?" Hartley whispered as he walked forward.
"Call me Katalina, the guard's thinks I'm a little girl visiting her cousin. I'm wearing disguise." Kiwi whispered as she stuck her hand through the bars. "But, yeah, it's me."
"Katalina," Hartley stepped in the light. Kiwi's eyes widened. Hartley looked so sick…so pale…the bags under his eyes were dark and heavy, his lips were calk white, and he seemed like he'd lost weight…a lot of weight. "Oh, you're wearing a red wig. I remember when your hair was red. So red." He reached out and pet the synthetic hair. HE looked down to see the long trench coat she was wearing.
"Katalina, why are you wearing this?" Hartley asked as he tugged on the sleeve of her jacket.
"I'm still wearing my outfit, Hart. I didn't have time to change."
"Oh," He whispered. "H-how've you been?"
"Not good." She shook her head.
Hartley frowned. "I heard about you turning yourself into the same koo-koo house I went to. It was because of me, wasn't it? Because I killed Inertia."
"No, it wasn't you, honey." Kiwi brought her hand up and placed it on his cheek.
"Cold came by, he told me what they did to you." Hartley's voice cracked. "They drugged you. They made you hallucinate about Thad. They made you crazy."
"I'm fine now, Hartley. Bart's alive. And so is Barry. They're alive." Kiwi smiled as she ran her thumb across Hartley's cheek.
"Bart's alive?" He whispered. "I didn't know of this."
"He's alive, Hartley." Kiwi's purple eyes glowed. "And well."
"I'm happy." He grabbed her hand that was on her face. "Can you stay with me? Here in the cell. You still have Bart's speed, right? Can't you vibrate through the walls? I don't want to be alone tonight."
Kiwi smiled. "Neither do I." She pressed herself up against the wall and vibrated herself through the bars. Once she was through, Hartley wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. "Did you visit James today?" He asked as he buried his head in her hair.
"Yes." She whispered as she wrapped her arms around him,
"You know we love you, right? All of us do."
"I know."
"James loves you."
"I know." She hugged him tighter.
Titans Tower….
Later that day…
Aivilo looked up at the statue above her. Her eyes watered slightly. A hand was placed on her shoulder. She looked up to see Donna Troy. A smile broke on her face.
"You know, despite his cockiness and asshole personality. He was a good brother." Aivilo said as she looked up at Powerboy's statue. "He was the one who helped me with my powers and helped me off that horrible planet."
"He was a good man." Donna assured. "He didn't deserve to die the way he did."
"At least he went out the way he wanted to go." She bit her lip. "He fought so hard."
"That's why his statue is in this hall. He fought with all his heart."
She took in a deep breath and held back tears. "Zarl's in a better place now." Aivilo nodded.
"That was his real name?" Donna had never known Powerboy personally, so his real name was news to her.
Aivilo nodded. "Zarl Vorne."
"Zarl," Donna nodded. "I see." She patted Aivilo on the shoulder and pecked her cheek. "Get some rest soon, honey."
Aivilo nodded and reached her hand out; touching the statue. "I love you, Zarl."
Avernus: Hidden Graveyard of the Rogues…
[Thaddeus Thawne of Earth]
I was a copy of a man I'll never be
A fake.
A phony.
I was sent from the future to go to the past.
I was to kill Bart Allen.
To prove that Thawnes were better than Allens.
All I wanted to do was kill him.
Until I met her.
She told me otherwise.
She showed me love.
But that didn't stop me.
I murdered her best friend.
And she left me.
She hated me.
But I still loved her.
She still loved me.
And then her family killed me in cold blood.
I can still hear Kiwi's scream.
