Rejoice, Gotham, celebrate, Metropolis. Let Star City echo with glee; let Central City's streets be loud with joy, for your heroes are dead.

After all, you wanted it this way. You were so enthusiastic to welcome Lex Luthor as the new United Nations Secretary General, and then president of America. You allowed Ra's al Ghul to begin his conquest of the east, and you did not stop Queen Bee from ascending to control her corner of the Middle East, growing stronger and stronger. When Brain took over France, you did nothing. Klarion rose up and frightened country after country with his power and demonic traits, and Black Manta took the oceans by storm with weapons that you did not see coming.

Earth was weak, and on its knees, and then Vandal Savage took it.

The Light flooded Earth and you bent to its will. You turned your back on the Justice League; you turned them in to Vandal Savage to be kept as prisoners on War World. It was you who betrayed them, you who accepted Intergang as the new police force.

Those affiliated with the Justice League faded and hid. They became invisible, they blended in. Oh yes, they blended in, many years ago, and they stayed quiet and lived normal lives, trying to survive in this apocalyptic dictatorship, crushed under the weight of the boot of Vandal Savage, a leader that cannot die. They struggle on in this world that you've given them.

The worst part is last. You accepted this. The fighting spirit was broken, and you left me alone.

I am called Maureen 'Ahm. I attend a Light school, where I receive a brainwashing that is called an 'education'. There, the agents of the Light force their ideas into our heads.

I know all about what they want us to believe. They claim that they are allowing Earth to take its rightful place at the center of the cosmos. They convince my generation that the Justice League was evil. I know the truth.

Yet we were warned. Keep your head down, keep moving. Slog through the lies and deception, prepare to live the rest of your life keeping under the radar as the Light creates more drones for their own purpose, to create a world united, to go to war if necessary.

Vandal Savage finds the gifted ones, takes them away, and turns them into soldiers, morphing them while he keeps them in a prison. They say he is building an army, and when it is unleashed, it will be the most terrifying thing anyone has seen.

The rumors, all of them, are true, and I wasn't smart enough to stay hidden. One day, two years ago, they caught me.

Thanks for reading guys! Please stick around, and leave a review to let me know what you think, it'll help me write. I'll see you in the next chapter.
