Chapter 2
*Scott's POV*
"Where am I?" I said.
"You're in New Genesis." Someone said.
I slowly turned my head and saw a kid with red hair.
"C-can you repeat what you said, please?" I asked him.
"You're in New Genesis." The kid repeated with an irritating tone, but I didn't care.
Without realizing it, I was crying and saying, "I'm free. Finally, I'm free… Free."
Then, I looked at the kid who saw me with a confused face and I asked him, "W-who are you?"
"I'm Orion." He told me.
Before I could say anything, a man entered the room and quickly hugged me.
"Scott, I'm so glad you're alive." The man tenderly told me.
"Um… Uh… Who are you?" I asked him.
The man slowly stopped hugging me and looked at me. The expression in his eyes showed happiness and sadness at the same time which made me feel sad.
"I'm Highfather Izaya… And, your father." He told me.
I tensed at the mention of the word 'father' because Granny Goodness always told me that my father was abandoned me at her orphanage because I'm weak and pathetic, but looking at this man, Highfather, sworn enemy of Darkseid… I just can't believe this.
"I'm sorry, I-I." Highfather hugged me before I was finished talking and he said, "You have done nothing wrong there is nothing for you to apologize."
I just continued to cry until there were no tears left and, when I stopped crying, Highfather told me to rest which I did, but, before I closed my eyes, I realized that Orion was still in the room looking at me with a glare that reminded me of… Darkseid.
While I was sleeping, I had a nightmare in which I was back in Apokolips and Granny Goodness was reminding me how weak and pathetic I am and telling me that due to my escape she was going to give me her 'special treat'. I began crying for help and then I turned to look at Highfather.
"Please, Highfather! Help me!" I begged him.
He got closer only to tell me, "Why would I help you, a weak and pathetic excuse of a son. You deserve to remain here."
"No, please! Take me out of here! I'll do anything! Anything!" I told him, but he began to walk away.
I tried to go after him, but someone stopped me.
"Where do you think you are going, child?" A frightening familiar voice told me.
I turned around and saw him… Darkseid.
"Your father abandoned you, child. But, instead of ending your pathetic existence, I allowed you to live. It was through my will alone that you are still with the living. Therefore, you are mine. YOU ARE DARKSEID'S!" Darkseid told me.
Granny Goodness, who was bowing, said, "Darkseid IS!"
I bowed down, but, before I talked, I felt someone hit me. Then, I opened my eyes.
