Grace Belleford and Francisco Ramon of earth 32 grew up as the best of friends. Growing up they did everything together from playing pretend superheros, collecting comics, and merchandise from conventions. They attended any convention that they could physically get too and always hand made their costumes together as a pair. Grace had admitted to herself that she loved Francisco since they were in their mid-teens and now at the age of 25 she knew that her love for him was real and deeper than ever, but her fear of losing him completely prevented her from ever speaking aloud her true feelings.
if only she knew just out messed up her life on earth 1 was going to be.
Grace and Francisco where heading back to their hotel room, Francisco was dressed as the Batman and Grace was Batwoman for this years convention. it was dark out and well after 10 pm but they didn't care. they usually didn't leave the center till late due to panels anyway. Laughing and talking Grace thought to herself that this was the happiest she could ever be. she loved seeing the man she loved smile and his laugh was contagious and it always made her feel better when she heard it. Lost in the moment and her thoughts she didn't notice the large shaggy shadowed humanoid form following them. Francisco was walking beside Grace talking and gesturing wildly with his hands when he was suddenly hit with a brilliant light beam from behind that sent him rolling on the ground and feet ahead and groaning in pain. Grace gasped as she twirled around to see what could only be explained as a giant diseased hybrid of a rat and a human, it stood about 8' tall and was at least 500 pounds in muscle and fur alone with a long grotesque scales looking tail. The being held an unfamiliar gun in one hand and a small device much like a garage opener on the other. He clicked the unknown device and beside him appeared what looked like a bubbling hole light and water. Gasping she turned back to help Francisco when a clawed hand grasped her by the back of the neck and hoisted her up. The being snarled "Ms. Belleford I am in need of your assistance with The Flash and I think you will be just what I need", he cackled as she struggled in fear and confusion. "what are you talking about, I don't understand what you want from me, please just let us go", she all but cried as on earth 32 meta humans were still not a publicly known thing. the creature growled and gave her a shake all the while Francisco was getting to his feet to get help. The creature looked over to him and with a cruel grin aimed at the boys turned back and shot a blast straight through his back killing him immediately, this caused a shill shriek of pure pain, anger, and despair to leave graces lips in a physical shock wave causing the creature to drop her as he was thrown off his feet and dazed. Grace dropped in a heap to the ground and crawled to Francisco's body with tears and in shock she stared down at the hole in his back. The creature regained it's composure and once more grabbed her this time by the throat and growled "next time it will be you with the hole, Now close your eyes and when you awake I want you to kill the Flash Barry Allen and if you disobey I will find you and eliminate you next", he threatened before tossing her into the strange lighted hole and he watched it close behind her.
