Hi guys… this is the real story of Reyna Wilson, the Shadow… she's my favourite OC character… I made her up of course, and the young justice story was not an original- it was a total fake, and here is the real story of The Shadow.
Patter, patter, patter.
Seven-year-old Reyna runs away from all her pain, all her life, all her everything.
And all she carries is a small backpack.
The rain patters, and it feels cold against her bare skin, but she doesn't flinch. She never flinches. She has been trained not to flinch, and so she doesn't.
Even in the slippery rain, she's as silent as a swift shadow. Her combat boots don't make a sound, and she admits to something.
She's afraid.
She looks behind her, expecting to see a masked face, half gold and half black, but she sees nothing. She sighs, slightly panting.
Where is she?
The small green-eyed girl scans the place she's in. She is in an alleyway, and she's even more scared because of the rain, and the gray weather, and the mud, with the rain plastering her raven hair to her face. She's in an alleyway, with dull grey buildings, and she looks back at her dad's hideout. No, her mentor's hideout. A father couldn't be so cruel.
Last chance. One last chance to go back, and pretend nothing ever happened.
She sinks to her knees and closes her eyes, focusing on the metallic taste of blood in her mouth that never seems to go away, and her soaked clothes and hair, and the knife strapped against her thigh. She concentrates, and hoping nobody's looking, disappears into the shadows. When she opens her eyes, she's in a different place-
She's in Blüdhaven.
The rain's stopped, and she stands out, black clothes against grey tiles.
Far away, she hears a sound.
Laughter.
God, she hasn't heard laughter in years. The last time she laughed out loud was answered to a blow to the head.
Although she's homeless and soaking, she's happy.
Her dad won't find her in at best six to seven years.
Reyna decides to investigate, sneaks around a corner and disappears with a whoosh. She reemerges from another corner, and she recognizes where she's in.
She's at Haly's circus.
