Thank you for wanting to check out my story "Twin Moons Rising" I've always ALWAYS wanted to write a story in the DC Universe with my own character. Please note that not only is this story set in the Warner Bros. Animated universe but some plot points have been added from the recent DC Film "Suicide Squad"
Don't worry, It won't be a lot of plot points, just with June Moone's Character in upcoming chapters. You'll see why.
Also, reviews and comments are much much appreciated and if you have any questions please feel free to ask, because I will do a Q & A section at the beginning of every chapter. Suggestions are also appreciated J
Without further ado, lets get to it!
Prologue: Birth from death
All of my weight was nearly concentrated into my skull, glass shards pierced my tender flesh, and the sharp tang of iron was spread across my tongue. With every twitch, my arms above me stung like fire. With every breath, the taste of my own blood made me gag. And every thought in my head pulsated like iron daggers waiting to split my head open.
"Mama…" No answer. "Papa….." No answer. "J-June? JUNE?!"….. "May…." Her voice was weak and raspy but still holding on for dear life. "M-May… are you ok? Are Ma and Pa ok?" She rasped. Opening my eyes I could feel the pressure with-in almost burst. Unable to keep my eyes open I cried "I-I cant see! Oh GOD JUNE… I CANT SEE!"
My heart rate began to escalate. The fear of not seeing if my family was ok was excruciating. "MAMA?! PAPA?! WERE ARE YOU? JUNE!?" With a click my body fell from above and hit the roof of the car, nearly breaking my neck in the process. I could hear my sister shuffle back to her spot to my left Coughing, June grabbed my arm "Calm down May, were gonna be…"
June stopped, her breath caught in her throat almost in a gasp/choke like way. Now that I was upright, the excess blood that rushed to my head started to finally go down and I was able to open my eyes again.
"MAY DON'T!" June yelled, holding me tight and shielding my eyes. "Don't look..." Pulling my sisters hands off my face I opened my eyes. At first, I was'nt quite sure of what I was seeing, a blurred image? Fuzzy shapes came into view and the only colors I could see were black, white, and red. But soon enough… I wish I HAD actually gone blind.
Their bodies were hanging lifelessly from above us, only their seat belts were keeping them up from dropping like ragdolls. Two large, thick branches pierced through the windshield glass, impaling our beloved parents to their very seats. My guts rolled inside me, only barley did I have the energy to choke the contents back down.
Looking to my left, June was hunched on all fours screaming and banging her hand against the car roof. "OUT! I WANT OUT! OUT OUT OUT!" Her emotional breakdown stabbed my brain, making it throb only more. "J-June… please….stop" Throb… throb.
"I CANT BREATH IN HERE! LET ME OUT!" Bang… bang. The stench of clotting blood and gasoline hit the air, making it pungent and hard to breath. Her fist kept banging on the roof we were sitting on and with each excessive bang the throbbing in my head only became more and more unbearable.
Bang bang. Throb throb. "Please just stop, i-its not going to help" She wanted to get away, my sister was becoming a terrified animal and so was I. Hot tears streaked my blood caked face and rolled down to my chin. June started to kick at the cracked windows, hoping to grasp the clean air.
Bang bang, Throb throb. She kept banging and banging, over and over. The throbbing in my head began to pulsate in my forehead, concentrating harder and harder. "Stop… for the love of God just STOP!"
Bang bang, throb throb, bangbang, throbthrob
"AHHH WHY?! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT!" It was then I started to notice that every time June kicked the window the whole car around us started to jerk and fall back. "J-June… were going…to fall. S-Stay calm, please just stay calm" But she ignored my warning. Soon the car felt like it was tittering back and forth, back and forth with only a hair keeping us in place.
Bangbangthrobthrobbangbangthrobthrob
With her last bang the car disconnected from the air and we were free falling. The force of the fall caused the air in our lungs to burst out in petrified screams. The pressure inside my head became too unbearable, and the force of the fall and our screaming finally broke my skull.
Ding…Ding…Ding
With the ringing of bells, my vision became clear and hypersensitive. Seeing every little speck of dirt in the air in slow motion, the grace of its beauty was truly breath taking. June's face was wide in fear with every little laugh line and pre formed wrinkle in place, one of her front teeth had been cracked. Our parents in the front felt no pain as their souls left their body… Souls?
I knew then what I had to do. Push out. Push OUT. PUSH OUT! Grabbing my sister, time continued forward as I held her tight in my pin cushioned arms. With the pain from the glass imbedded within now numb and dull I used all of my strength to force out the very last bit of my energy around us.
Shutting my eyes tight I braced for impact.
[Field Report: December 25th 2001]
Please note: The following document has been marked CONFIDENTIAL due to locations and civilians associated with employed agents. Any copies or undocumented prints will be confiscated and/or destroyed to protect the identities of said agents.
Log number: 18b-228a
Agents involved: Martian Manhunter aka [0000] [00000] and Superman aka [00000] [0000000]
On the night of the 24th of December, Martian Manhunter and Superman retreated to Superman's hometown [000000000] in [000000] ,to celebrate the holiday Christmas with Superman's family Mr. and Mrs. [0000000] . At 0900 hours, Martian Manhunter received a telepathic distress signal coming from 5 kilometers away from their position, alerting them a civilian was in danger.
Leaving the [0000000] Farm, they flew to the nearby Mountain trail [0000000] To discover an SUV had flipped off route [000] and into a large tree over the local canyon. Before the agents could act, said SUV slipped out of the tree and began to descend some 30 meters before an explosion took place. Investigating the scene agent Martian Manhunter discovered that not only did the SUV burst under unknown pressure, but that 2 young adult human females were trapped inside a rounded field made of unknown energy at the bottom of the canyon.
Unfortunately the parents of the young adults were pronounced deceased on scene at 0915 hours. After local police approached the scene they deduced that the civilians involved in the accident was the Moone family. Further interviews with the survivors concluded that after they had opened their Christmas presents they went on a brief ride through the Mountain trials, but due to resent snowfall the dirt road on route [000] had become loose and unstable, making the SUV slip off the road, turn over, and crash into the nearby tree hanging over the canyon.
After careful medical and scientific examinations of the 2 individuals it can be gathered that the eldest, May Moone age 22 earth years, has exceptional energy absorption and manipulation abilities caused by great emotional distress and has been classified as a Homo Magi, a being that is considered "Magical" or "Supernatural" by the populace; See report [0000000] for further details. Her twin sister, June Moone, has been noted she is capable of unlocking said ability's but has of yet shown any in examinations.
After such examinations the 2 Moone sisters were heavily compensated an amount of $500,000 to pay for medical bills, damages, future tuitions, funeral arrangements, and living expenses over the next 5 years. To ensure that future ability development goes smoothly for May and June Moone, Agent Superman has instructed for Martian Manhunter to keep watch for any signs of deterioration for either of the girls in case one of them has gone rouge.
Updated logs of their progress shall be kept in the file "Future Candidates" until the League may need use for them.

So, what did you think? Please leave your input :) I actually had a lot of fun writing this first chapter, hopefully I can update every Friday or Saturday. There was some fonts that I wanted to use to make the "File report" look more legit but sadly the site doesn't offer them yet. Oh well :/
