Chapter 1

Year - sometime in the twenty fifth century

The pain that was all she could feel. It ripped through her with each breath she took and in turn it made each breath harder to take. This was the end, all the close calls throughout the years and all that time spent running had just prolonged the inevitable. Everyone she had ever loved was dead, her parents, her grandparents; this was the end.

The ropes that tied her wrists together were tight, so tight that with every small movement she could feel her skin break more; the blood left a warm trail down her arms. It was hard to not move, as she dangled from the ceiling, her feet bare and bloody hung just above the concrete floor of the building she was held in.

She wanted to open her eyes, but even the thought of the action used up what little energy she had left. She wished they would just kill her already, she had been beaten and broken and had no more to offer them. Although at this point in time there was no information left to give. They had already killed or captured everyone associated with the Justice League. She was one of the unfortunate ones that was captured instead of killed.

Her neck was stiff and she could feel the metal of the collar they had put on her pushing into her skin but her head weighed to much to lift with what little strength she had left. She had lost track of the days ages ago, but she could tell from the lack of explosions and screams from the city that surrounded her that most of the population had either died or surrendered. The attacks from the Suicide Squad and their allies.

It was hard to believe that only a month ago everything had been quiet and peaceful in Central City. She had just been accepted into the Justice League, and could have not been more excited to take the chair that her grandfather had once sat in, and his father before that.. Now, everything had changed.

Suddenly there was a presence in front of her. She heard no steps but she did feel the gust of air brush past her to indicate someone had entered the room. "Well, well, well still just hanging around I see." A male's voice spoke, although it was distorted slightly, she knew exactly who the voice belonged to.

"Professor Zoom." She said simply, making no move to look up at him.

"Black Sparrow, or would you prefer Jade Queen." The voice spoke back and then Jade felt his suited hand take her chin and lift her head up straight. Weakly Jade let her eyes flutter open and as she regained focus she began to make out the man standing in front of her. His hood was down, and Jade could see the resemblance to the man she had read about, even with his gray hair and aged face she would always recognize him; the man that she read about, the man that killed the Flash.

"Why don't you just give in? Why do you fight it?" Eobard Thawne stared at Jade hard. "Death, would be so peaceful." Jade let her eyes close and Eobard removed his hand from her chin, effectively causing Jade's head to fall towards her chest.

Jade then heard the sound of Eobard walking away from her and knew this might be her last chance to ask. "Why?" Whispered Jade, her voice sounding hoarse. She heard Eobard stop walking, but he did not answer her so she asked again. "Why?"

"Why, what?" Eobard answered her with a question. He began to walk back towards her and stop himself only inches from her.

Jade used every bit of strength she could muster and lifter her head back up. "Why did you kill us? Why did you destroy everything?

"Because all you heroes parade around claiming to save the world. But you're not heroes, you're a pest, a rodent. Only saving who you believe is worth saving. You all act as judge, jury, and executioner. That you, and you alone are the sole embodiment of all that is good in the world. It's time there was a world without superheroes. It's time for a world where you don't decide who should live and who should die." Eobard then raised his hand, bringing his fingers to rest just above the skin of Jade's chest.

Jade kept her head up, even though every muscle in her body told her to just give up, and let go. "I am sorry." Said Jade as she looked Eobard in the eye. "I am sorry, that he failed you." Jade felt the wetness traveling down her cheeks before she even realized she had begun to cry. Watching Eobard, Jade noticed his face soften slightly.

"I too am sorry, that it had to come down to this. You may choose to not believe me but it pains me to see you like this. If there is one kind thing I can do for you today it will be to make it painless." He spoke softly and then closed to distance between his hand and her skin. Vibrating his appendage he tore through her, but as his hand entered the two of them were engulfed by red lightning. Jade felt her body being zapped by the electricity as it tore through her. She watched as the world around her flashed brighter and brighter with each second that passed till she could no longer stand it and had to squeeze her eyes shut.

As quick as it had begun however, it ended. Jade felt cold, and she felt as though she was floating. She knew her arms and legs were there, but it seemed as though there was no way to move them. She then began to wonder, if this was it; if this was death.

Then suddenly she felt as though she was suffocating and her ears rang as if someone had set off a bomb right next to her. Quickly she told herself to breath in and her mouth opened and a rush of air entered her body. She then forced her eyes open, and she was blinded by the sudden light. She blinked a few times as she tried to focus on the blurs that surrounded her, and as everything came into focus she found there were people above her. That's when she realized the coldness she felt throughout her body was from her laying on the floor.

"Are you okay? Can you hear me?" Came a woman's voice through the ringing. Jade squeezed her eyes closed, holding the muscles tight in a vain attempt to block out the light as she focused on voice. "Can you hear me?"

Jade opened her eyes back up slowly and attempted to pick out which blur was speaking with her. As she moved her gaze to the right she saw the silhouette of someone with long hair. Jade then made to nod her head slightly to answer the woman's question.

"Okay good. My name is Caitlin, and you're appear to be seriously injured, can you squeeze my hand?" Jade wanted to respond but instead was forced to closed her eyes again as the ringing got louder. Then slowly she began to feel herself slipping into unconsciousness.
