Story Title: Justice Hearts
Chapter 11
Darkseid followed the two Kryptonians with his glowing red eyes as they flew away to help the other heroes fight his Parademon army. He turned back to Omega. "How would you like to die?" Darkseid's body began to glow before he grew to over fifteen feet in height.
Omega smiled. "You have the height of an Olympian." Darkseid grinned; his teeth were a lighter gray than his skin. Omega's body glowed with a golden aura as his body grew to twenty feet in height. Darkseid looked up at him; his grin was gone, replaced by a deep frown. "It's a good thing that I'm not an Olympian," Percy proclaimed as a broad smile stretch across his face.
Darkseid's eyes glowed as his Omega beams exploded from his eyes, moving out in a strange zigzag formation toward the Primordial. The blast struck Omega, engulfing the Primordial in a red mass of energy before exploding outward, knocking down the remaining trees in the park. When the dust cleared, Percy stood still his uniform repairing itself from the damage caused by the blast. Darkseid's eyes widened slightly as he noticed that Omega's skin was perfectly unharmed. "How is that possible?"
Omega smiled his white teeth shining in the afternoon sun. "I am a Primordial child; you have chosen to attack the son of the Source. Submit to my power and you shall live." Omega's voice was deeper and his eyes glowed like two red giant stars.
Darkseid gritted his teeth, clenching his fists in anger. "You do not frighten me, boy. Your power is impressive, but it pales in light to the power of the Anti-life Equation. Darkseid's body was covered by a dark cloud of mass and energy. The cloud swirled around him before Darkseid's eyes glowed a dark red, unleashing a powerful blast of Omega beams at the Primordial. Omega was struck head-on by the blast; it was so powerful that it knocked him off his feet, ripping up the ground as it pushed him away at ever-increasing speed. Omega struck a concrete wall, crashing through it and into the ground behind it. The Omega beams ceased.
Darkseid leaned over, his hands on his knees as he tried to capture his breath. He was tired; the use of his ultimate power taking so much of his energy. He stood up just in time to receive a right cross from Supergirl, striking him in the jaw and sending the new god into the building on the other side of the park.
Supergirl landed where she struck Darkseid. She was out of breath and a moment later Superman landed beside her. "Kara, this wasn't smart, we can't…" He never finished his sentence before Omega beams struck him sending him flying away and crashing into the ground. Kara's blue eyes were wide with shock.
"Oh, little girl, your cousin is defeated and your godly friend is defeated as well. Pledge your loyalty to Darkseid and I will let you live."
Kara's blue eyes narrowed. "Never," she moved forward, running at her full speed, but before she could strike, Darkseid fired his Omega beams, striking her in the stomach, knocking her off her feet and through a stone retaining wall on the other side of the park.
Darkseid smiled; he was still bloody from his fight with Omega and he walked with a limp. He had reduced in size to his normal seven-foot height. He looked around, most of the Parademons were fighting the other heroes, but no one else was there to threaten him. "Is there no one left to challenge me?"
A flash of light appeared in the distance before another streak of color, faster than he'd ever seen struck him. He looked at what grabbed him and frowned, it was Omega; the Primordial held the new god tightly flying off and then up into the sky. Darkseid struck at him, but his arms moved through the Primordial's body; Darkseid's eyes widened not understanding how he could be held in place while his strikes missed their target.
Omega flew up into the sky, holding Darkseid in the grip of his gravitational force. They moved up through the sky; the color and thickness of the air thinning before the two entered outer space. Omega kept flying, moving toward Sol. The two moved at speeds in excess of the speed of light before they struck the surface of the planet Mercury. They struck the surface with the force of a meteorite.
Darkseid woke up, sitting up quickly; the heat on the planet was incredible, but Darkseid's tough hide was barely impacted. He looked around, wondering where the Primordial was.
"Don't worry, Darkseid, I haven't left you," Omega said from behind the new god.
Darkseid stood up, turning to glare at the Primordial; he stopped his confident demeanor waning at the sight of the Primordial. The Primordial before him was not the same god that he faced on Earth. Here in space Omega looked barely humanoid. He was in the shape of a humanoid, but his body was transparent and looked like the humanoid version of a star. Darkseid frowned before firing his Omega beams, striking the Primordial head on, but the beams did nothing, being absorbed into the energy-laden body of the Primordial. "What are you?"
"You said that I couldn't defeat you on the Earth and you were right. I couldn't defeat you there without affecting those that live there. Therefore, I brought you to a lifeless world and one within close proximity to a star; to my domain."
"So, you've brought me here to kill me?"
Percy shook his head. "I don't need to kill you to defeat you. I don't believe the heroes understand what it means to be a god. You can't be killed, but you can be secured. You can be transported to a place where gods go when it is their time."
Darkseid understood now what Omega was saying and for the first time in his life, he felt fear. "It's not my time."
Percy smiled sincerely. "Most gods know when it is their time, but sometimes it's in the hands of fate to determine when your time has come."
"How do you know it's my time? You aren't fate."
Omega's body began to glow brighter and brighter. "I am the child of the Source. I have omniscience. I know it's your time." The light became so bright that Darkseid had to turn away.
Earth – National City
Kara groaned as she pushed the stone debris that lay around her. She had a gash on her cheek that was bleeding, but the sun that beat down upon her from above had already begun to heal the wound. Her body was sore, but a flash of light in the sky drew her attention. She felt a presence behind her, turning she saw her cousin limping toward her. He looked pretty bad. His hair was disheveled and a large bruise was on his cheek. "You okay?" Kara asked.
Clark frowned. "I've been better. Where is Darkseid?"
Kara shook her head. "I have no idea."
Suddenly, the sky grew darker as the sun dimmed in the sky. Clark and Kara looked on in shock. A moment later a large flash lit up the sky, it lasted for a few seconds before it receded. The sun began to brighten, but it took several seconds before it returned to its previous brightness. "What in Rao's name happened?" Kara asked in shock.
Clark frowned. "Have you seen, Percy?"
Kara's blue eyes widened. "You don't think…" She stopped talking, not wanting to give a voice to her concern.
Clark sighed. "I don't know, but considering what the sun just did it makes sense that Omega was behind it.
Suddenly, flashes of light occurred around the city as boom tubes opened up; Parademons flew into the portals and disappeared. One opened up in the park; a Parademon swooped down, picking up Kalebak and flying into the portal before it closed.
Clark and Kara stood there in shock before Diana and the others joined them in the park. "What happened?" Diana questioned curiously.
"We have no idea, but we think Omega did something," Kara replied.
A light flashed in the sky before a familiar Primordial god appeared in the sky; he moved to join the assembled heroes in the destroyed park. Percy stood on the ground his expression grim and tired. He looked around; making sure that the army of Apokolips was gone. "It appears that we won."
Kara frowned. "What did you do?" she asked with her arms crossed.
Percy's smile faded. "What do you mean?"
"Did you kill him?"
Percy's eyes narrowed. "I find your lack of faith in me disturbing."
"Pfft!" Winn and Cisco both said at the same time, arriving with the rest of the DEO just as the group confronted Omega.
"Almost as good as Darth Vader," Barry commented.
Kara glared at her friends. "It's not funny. Did you kill him?"
Clark put his hand on her shoulder. "Kara, please calm down."
"It's okay, Superman. No, I did not kill him. I sent him to the Void."
Lightray and Orion both stared at him in shock. "He's gone for good then?" Lightray asked.
Percy nodded. "The Source will make sure that his punishment fits his crimes."
"Good, so it's over," Superman said.
Percy nodded. "Apokolips will not return. I assume that Steppenwolf will take over, but he will not push the fight. He will need to consolidate power and that may take decades, if not a century or two."
Orion smiled walking up to the Primordial. "You have done it, my friend. The Highfather will be pleased and I will make sure that he understands the mistake he made not supporting you."
"I appreciate the offer, but do not get in trouble with him. I did not come here to play politics. I appreciate Lightray and you coming to help."
Orion smiled. "I think we'll stay for the party."
Winn and Cisco smiled. "You bet man, we'll make it a blast," Cisco said. Winn and Cisco walked away followed by everyone except Clark, Kara, Diana, and Percy.
Diana and Clark looked between Percy and Kara; the tension was clear between the two. "We better go make sure that the others don't cause too much trouble for J'onn," Clark said. Diana nodded following him away from the Girl of Steel and the Primordial.
Percy sighed. "This talk is overdue," Percy said.
Kara looked up. "What talk?"
"The reason why you lack such faith in me. Why you think I would kill someone so easily?"
"I don't think that," Kara denied.
"The first thing you asked me as I fought someone that beat Clark and you so easily was whether I killed him. You didn't even ask if I was hurt or not."
Kara sighed. "Are you hurt?"
Percy began to pace back and forth. "It's too late for that question."
"What do you want me to say, that I misjudged you?"
"That would certainly be a start."
"I'm sorry, Omega, that I thought you killed someone, even a being as evil as Darkseid."
Percy sighed; he didn't want to argue with Kara. "Kara, do you really care about me?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"A good one from my point of view."
Kara's eyes grew dark. "I think I do."
"You think," Percy repeated. Kara nodded in agreement. Percy shook his head. "I care for you Kara, so much, even though I'm no longer the mortal that I was. I care for you and it scares me."
"Scares you, why?" She wore a confused expression on her face.
"Because I don't know what to do about it and now, with all your suspicions, I don't know how I can stay here."
Kara's eyes narrowed. "So, you want to leave me? To leave the Earth, like Mon-El?"
There it was the reason for her suspicion. "You think I'm going to leave you."
"No, you just said it. I never said you would."
Percy shook his head. "You are scared I'm going to leave you. Like Mon-El did."
Kara frowned. "This isn't going to work, Omega. We're too different. I'm not a god." She stepped away from him. "This was a mistake. I'm an alien, not a human. I can't expect the same type of relationships and neither should you."
"What are you saying?"
Kara looked back at him. "I'm saying this, whatever it was, is over," she leaped into the air before flying off. Percy didn't see the tears flowing from her eyes as she flew off toward her apartment.
