Universe Serene
A Prologue
By Lisa
Legion Headquarters, Metropolis, 30th century.
She was trapped, alone, in the 30th century with no chance of ever see her parents or her friends again. They had all past away centuries ago, some a month ago.
Wally, Donna, Roy, Garth and Kory…Flash, Troia, Arsenal, Temptest and Starfire…Her team mates, in ways her family…They had died battling the forces of Universo and left her alone in this cold and unwelcoming century.
Sometimes she blamed them for her loneliness.
More often she cried.
True she wasn't the only one that been stroke by the powers of faith.
Other had joined her former team mates in death, there among the legionnaires that had died a heroes death trying to defend the galaxy…Live Wire, Karate Kid, Monstress…
She knew the others mourned them.
She couldn't.
She had made herself friends.
Spark with witch she shared the loss as Spark had lost her brother.
Apparition with witch she shared secrets of long lost loves.
Triad (all three of her) with witch she shared the gossip of the Legion.
Together they took her shopping; they showed her Metropolis, Earth…the other planets.
And she had fun.
Still it wasn't the same.
She rose to her feet, sauntering over to the window. Saw the constructors.
Earth was rebuilding.
Metropolis had been destroyed by the tamaranian warships, the same with Paris the same with the other cities on the other planets of the United Planets.
It was only Atlantis that hadn't been destroyed.
Garth would have been pleased.
The tamaranians had been banned.
Kory wouldn't have been pleased.
Brother Blood was finally dead.
That would have pleased them all…Or maybe not.
Universo was once again captured in the Titans stronghold, guarded by Doctor Aven.
Doctor Aven was pleased.
Many had wanted him as dead as Blood was.
President Brande hadn't fallen for the pressure.
Death shouldn't be the solution to everything, Brande had understand that.
She knew that it soon was time.
It was agreed that Spark would get her when the voting was over.
She hoped that they would vote her in.
They were all she had left.
She needed them.
Wally had once said that the Titans weren't about whom the team needed, it was about whom who needed the team.
Maybe that would count for the Legion too.
She turned around as she heard her door open.
"Argent…it's time."
She saw the smile on her friend's face and for the first time she felt hope for the future.
She smiled back and reached for her uniform.
Maybe everything would be okay.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
She and Spark walked the halls of the Legion quarters in silence.
Spark knew.
She didn't.
As they entered the Legion rose to it's feet.
She felt nervous.
Then she saw the smiles.
And she felt secure.
Spark left her to take her place on the left and she stopped.
Before her was the podium where the founders of the Legion were seated.
Shortly she noticed the empty chair of Live Wire and felt a moment of grief.
Then Saturn Girl rose and spoke.
"Argent"
"Um…Yes"
Oh dear did she just say Um…
"Do you swear to protect the innocent and to retain the peace of the United Planet?"
"Yes."
"Then it's my pleasure to give you this Legion flight ring as a sign that you are now an official member of the Legion of Superheroes."
Saturn Girl's words were lost to her, in her mind another conversation played over and over.
"One authentic, guaranteed-to-enable-the-wearer-to-soar-the-heavens Legion Flight Ring."
"Um…Like, what does this mean?"
"Well, you are now a duly deputised member of the legion."
"That's it?"
"For the moment anyway."
"*Whew. *"
Her eyes drifted to the handsome form of Cosmic Boy and her eyes meet his.
He remembered too.
She saw it in his eyes and for a moment she found herself wondering why they had let it be.
Then the others come to congratulate her.
She was given a uniform, identical to hers but with the Legion L belt on it.
Triad joined her in her quarters to help her put it on. They laughed together at her miss saying to Imra and then they went together to the dining hall were dinner would be serve.
As she entered the others screamed surprise and the party was on.
She saw the laughing faces of her friends, the faces that she sometimes had seen broken with sorrow and she laughed herself at the jokes they told.
For today everything was okay.
She was young and she would survive.
And Cosmic Boy was so cute.
She wondered if he ever would ask her out.
