A NEW DARKNESS
Chapter 1
He soared through the dark, cold buildings, using only a cable and his own
strength. He didn't care what anyone said, this was more exilirating than
actually flying any day. He perched on a gargoyle, a vicious looking brute
from nephilim nightmares, and looked out over the dark expanse that was
Gotham. None of his friends, of the superhero variety, understood why he
stayed here. The city had become one populated almost entirely by nephilim,
and nearly all of the seraphim had left as a result. The seraphim saw the
nephilim as lesser beings, bound to the ground. But he had grown to see them
in a different light. When his father, a powerful seraphim merchant, had
chosen to move to Gotham as many other merchants had done, he was appalled. He
would be forced to associate with nephilim, to attend school with them. But,
after only a few weeks that while the nephilim had no wings, or powers, they
were no different from seraphim. They had families, crushes, petty fights,
true love, and imagination.
And then....
Then he had seen The Batman. A nephilim legend in the flesh. It was said that
he was a nephilim who had taken it upon himself to protect others of his kind,
and anyone else who needed help. It had changed his life. He had spent years
learning everything he could of Batman, and of his helpers. Eventually, he had
found who he truly was, and was astonished. In truth, he was the most powerful
Nephilim in America. After a confrontation, and severe training, he became the
Batman's apprentice, his partner of sorts. He had taken the name 'Darkness'
for he had the ability to block light in his immediate area. He hid his wings
as well, appearing as a nephilim in his Darkness guise.
But now... Now was not time for recollection. He was tracking a crazed
scientist, who had created a device to transport oneself through universes.
The man was deranged, saying that he would destroy everything, simply because
his wife had left him. "I'll make sure she regrets leaving me, in every
universe she could possibly exist in!" he had shouted. Darkness was on his
scent though, and had followed him to the warehouse across the street.
He vaulted across the street to the warehouse roof. Sneaking in through the
roof entrance, he walked carefully down the stairs. Looking down over the
railing, he saw Dr. Strangelove prepping his machine for activation. With a
swift move, he leapt off the stairs, aimed to take out the seraphim.
Strangelove must have heard him because, just as he activated the portal to
another universe (which, oddly enough, looked like a gigantic television
screen), he spun and swung out with a long pole. The pole caught Darkness
square in the chest and he felt a rib or two break. The pole also served
another affect, knocking him into the portal. The last thing he heard before
he was lost in an endless wave of what looked like television static, was the
Dr. screaming.
"I wish I hadn't left Young Justice headquarters today..."was his last
consious thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ooo. Where would Darkness be going? What's up with this freaky story anyway?
You'll ALL see in the next chapter of A New Darkness !! Yay!!
Disclaimer: uhmn. Darkness, and his world belong to me. It is based off of DC
characters. ^_^ Don't sue me! I broooooooooke!
And you can ALL thank my muse, Klarion, bum Bum BUM, the Witch boy for this.
Really. It wasn't my idea. He and Darkness just ganged up on me. It wasn't
fair.
