Prologue- reflecting on those lost
Disclaimer:
I don't own the Justice League or I bet not even zombies someone probably has claim on them too.
We don't know how it started all we know is that it spread like wildfire. We lost do many in the beginning as we tried to help those below.
We realized after Superman fell that it was a fools mission.
"Flash?" I heard a voice call. I turned around and saw a golden suited superhero with blonde hair. Booster Gold. Kept out of most of the league missions in the beginning he was one of the heroes that made it. The rest are MIA or well you know.
"What's up booster?" I asked as I turned around I tried to put on a smile but I knew I wasn't fooling anyone.
"Batman is asking for you." He said standing there awkwardly. I vaguely wondered where his robot Skeets was before I nodded.
"Bats wants me to see him? Well that's a first usually it's the exact opposite." I joked as I got up and started heading to the conference room.
The watchtower survived. It's now where most of us live. By us I mean the supers, villains and civilians that happened to survive. The people with powers mostly survived while most civilians were sitting ducks.
I reached the conference room and walked in the door whizzing open as I stepped forward. Inside was Batman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman and the Martian. I nodded at them and sat down at my seat only casting a short glance at the empty seats of John and Shayera.
Shay.. She was one of the first supers to die. After her death John left. Went missing actually no one knows where he went. I have a feeling he's still alive though. He is a marine after all and it would take more than a few walking corpses to take him down.
Yes you heard me right. Walking Corpses. Ghouls, Zombies, the living dead whatever you want to call them. Either way there here.
"Now that everyone's here." Batman said calling the meeting to order. I watched Arrow take Lanterns seat feeling a bit of anger but hiding it. There both green anyway.
"The Solomon virus is spreading and we believe over 75% of the population is infected." Batman announced bringing up an image of the world. I looked up at it noticing the red areas that signalled a highly infected area. I looked at central which was completely red before I looked away. No point in thinking about home now.
"So far still no cure or leads." Batman said. He worked on a cure for months ever since the first outbreak hit America. Obviously he turned up empty despite his best efforts.
"We need to plan the next course of action and what we are going to do in our... New world." He finished. My eyes scrunched up as his words meaning hit me.
There is no cure and this is the world we now live in. I knew for awhile that this was the case but hearing it in words was almost different. Now it's true and not just a thought. Now it is reality.
I looked over at Green Arrow who had a similar grim expression on his face. He was sharpening one of his arrows as Batman continued, "We have decided that we need to focus on finding a new home." Batman said. Immediately the rest of us stood up in disagreement.
"Yeah and where would we go?" I asked.
Batman looked at me before he answered, "Another dimension." He said simply.
