So here it is! Well, here's the prologue at least. I just need to get this story off my chest.
July 5, 2013
5:00 A.M., Gotham City
It was hard to believe it had been one year.
One year since the Justice League had been taken hostage.
One year since their teens' last stand.
One year since the Team had been killed.
The circle of statues hadn't been there a year ago. Ten people stood around them.
Two stood in front of a stone incarnation of a girl holding a bow and arrow, both holding the same weapons.
One stood in front of a young-looking boy with a cape, also wearing one but in a costume much darker in appearance.
One stood in front of another boy, his bright red costume nearly matching the one on the stone figure.
A green-skinned man stood in front of likeness of a girl in a cape and skirt.
A man in blue with a cape stood in front of a rather angsty-looking boy, the same symbol on the boy's shirt as the man's.
A blonde man in an orange shirt stood in front of the statue of boy with dark skin and short hair.
Three others, two magicians and one blonde woman, stood in front of a plaque in the space in the middle of the circle.
This park and the statues are dedicated in memory of the fallen heroes Artemis, Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, and Miss Martian. They gave their lives to save the world when it in peril and otherwise defenseless on July 5, 2012. Dedicated on January 1, 2013 by the Wayne Foundation.
Crowds did not fill Hero's Park in the early morning, which made it all the better for the heroes, the ones still alive as they recalled those fateful days leading up to the fifth, almost one year exactly after the original Team had been formed.
