A/N: This story is xover with Zoom's Academy for Superheroes.
The Silver Dragon.
This is where for the last twenty years Captain Ace has spent her life without powers.
Over the years, Ace, also known as Yan Lin, had grown isolated and bitter.
Now she was standing near the door, staring blankly at her index finger. She then narrowed her eyes and slowly started to move her finger back and forth. Then, its speed increased, moving faster and faster until it was nothing but a speeding blur.
The former superhero smiled fondly at the memories of her whole body moving at such speed. Nothing but a blur.
Something moved curiously in the corner of her eye.
Yan Lin turned around slightly to see a man in a leather jacket and sunglasses walking casually down the street, towards her restaurant.
He suddenly stopped, and put a hand to his ear. He quickly gazed left, then right, and started to cross the street.
A car suddenly jerked into the roadway, speeding down straight towards the man. The man however looked no notice of the approaching car.
Yan Lin swung the door open and called out, "Hey, watch out!"
By the time she finished her cry, the car knocked the man over, sending him falling down onto the pavement.
The car then sped away not bothering to stop.
Yan Lin jogged outside and stopped in front of the man, who was now beginning to struggle to his feet.
She leaned over and helped the more up and led him back to her restaurant.
"Hey, sir, you okay?" Yan Lin asked as she seated the man down.
The man played with his red hair and took off his sunglasses. "Thanks, Captain Ace."
Yan Lin blinked and took a step back. "What the—"
Just then, the car that had nearly ran over the man drove up, and two other men entered the restaurant.
One was in a lab coat while the other was in uniform.
Yan Lin groaned. "Dr. Grant. General. Good to see you two again."
"Enough talk, Yan," the general snapped. "We're taking you back to the Zenith Project."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Do you know what retirement means? I quit. I'm not a part of the Zenith team anymore. They were all wiped out . . . by your stupid Gamma-13 ray."
Dr. Grant then produced a gun. "I'm sorry to hear that, Ace."
The man in the leather jacket jumped on top of Dr. Grant. "Grant, no! Don't—"
Pop!
Yan Lin felt a small sting in her shoulder. She looked down and noticed the needle 'bullet' in her arm.
"Oh, that hurt," Yan Lin mumbled as things began to swirl. Then she fell to the ground, unconscious.
