It's been about two years after Liz's death, murdered by someone, Helena, and the gang doesn't even about. Besides her death, things have changed over the years; Earth has darkened to a world that people can't even imagine. Many people, animals, are searching for food; food is get scarce, because the plants died, due to no water, sunlight, and fresh soil. How people are surviving is a mystery, like Earth is trying to fight back to save all life forms, since the elementals are out of the question. Earth can't survive that long, because it has about a year left, when times up, Earth will disintegrated till nothing left, just dust.
On other things, other than that Earth is going to blown up soon, Ray turned himself in to the cops that he did murdered his son Jargon. He is spending his time in prison and even to this day. Strike and the escapees of Quion left New Gotham to have something that they finally can have a normal life. Mike,, Liz's boyfriend finally let go and has a girlfriend named Maria, he isn't around much, not because of dating, its because he is helping Metahumans a lot, from all over the United States, he can't go on planes to go different countries because the President will fear planes will blow up and doesn't want things to die out, because of plane crashes. Ben, well, it's the usual for him, except helping the 'Ancients' with the trio business, but there are problems with the 'Ancients' they are moving away from Earth, because they total gave up, which is very unlikely, if the Spirit element wasn't so complicated to find, they will have luck to save Earth. Now as for the 'Birds', Helena is doing a lot of patrolling, because the crime rate went up like crazy, from murder, robbery, grand theft, whatever crime it is, it will happen. Barbara has given up with the trio, she has no clue what to do, they don't have magikal powers to save the world, but she is helping the city streets with Helena, she not Oracle anymore, Oracle is on hold, Batgirl is back. For Dinah she on the internet like crazy, chatting with her friends, private messaging people, and she constantly is being lectured by Alfred of be careful of chatting with unknown people online, its soooo annoying she wants to scream! Alfred, well, he is just plain ol' Alfred, nothing new there. And lastly for Reese he is better than the cops, because he knows more what is actually happening in the city, thanks to the people in the big clock.
Finally for the trio, well they are hiding. MortiSin is sleeping. Lizix is still a ditz. And as for Kane, well he is the plain old Kane the undefeatable.
But something strange happened like the next day after Liz's death, later that night. Her tombstone disappeared and the soft soil is hard. Like almost Liz's death doesn't exist in the grave yard, her friends and family has no clue that her tombstone, coffin, and her isn't there, like it vanished, almost in thin air. But it didn't....
********
Around the ill fated streets of New Gotham, Huntress is walking down the streets, looking for villains to fight in this pre-annihilation world. While walking on the cold, cracked streets she saw a bright flash. Looking up she sees a red shooting star, shooting across the sky, she watches the shooting star, soaring diagonally the sky and at great speed it enters the atmosphere and fire starts to burn the comet size rock.
Huntress gasps as the comet is plummeting to the Earth's surface. She automatically assumes that this a warning from the heavens that the end is near. She backs up and saw the comet is coming her way, her eyes widen with fear and horror. "Crap!" She bolts out of the way and as the small sized comet hits the sidewalk, debris shoots in mid air and she jumps away from the large pieces of debris that contains rock, concrete, trees, and cars. She lands hard onto the ground as the fragments moves pass her, staying low is good, so she doesn't lose a body part.
As the remains of the impact died down, she slowly gets up and looks around, everything is in a mess. Cars are flipped over, burning, some blown up, trees are all over the place, streets are risen, because of the powerful impact that strike the Earth pretty hard, making a crater.
Walking over to the crater, curious why she didn't get killed, no one, including Metahumans never survive this deadly impact. She walks up the rocky slope and looks down in the center; she spots a female in the hole of the crater, lying down. Huntress starts to walk down the hill of rumble and one step down the hill, she accidentally slips. Tumbling down the rocks and dust and within seconds she lands to a sudden stop. The dust flew in the air as she lands hard onto the platform of the hole. Looking at the figure, while dust is slowly going back down to the ground, by the force of gravity, Huntress watched in silence as the female starts to move.
"Uh.." the Caucasian female moves her hands freely across the small pebbles, as she moves her hands, she pushes the rocks around.
Huntress didn't know what to say, because this is unusual, that a person flies out of the sky along with a comet, no one can never survive this bizarre impact. The brown haired Metahuman gets onto her feet and slowly walks over to the person. Being scared to death, she had to do something, before people notices and she doesn't want the FBI takes this young woman away, and something bad can happen, and she doesn't want that, since life on Earth is going through enough already.
Stepping towards the woman, the young woman opens her black eyes and stares at the sky, filled with stars, seeing the constellation, Orion, the hunter. The woman looks down and spots Huntress. She quickly gets up and scrambles to the end of the crater and immediately sits down, holding her knees and looks at this unknown woman, like she never seen this person before. Her shoulder length black hair goes in front of her eyes, as the wind blows harshly in the crater.
Huntress covers her mouth in shock, like she knows this person. A single tear went down her eyes. Watching the woman scared to death, bare, and having no clue what is happening. Slowly walking over to her she kneels down and went over to move the bangs from her.
The young woman instantly grabs her by the wrist, holding it tightly. Helena grabs her hands, holding it gently. Helena is trying to help her...cousin. Looking up in the face of her cousin, tears begin to move freely down her face. Helena gently takes out a napkin out and wipes the tears away from her dirty face, covered with dirt and dust.
"....Helena?"
Helena's face drops at her cousin said her name, she wanted to cry, because, Liz died in her arms, two years ago, and she didn't expect for her cousin to be brought to life. "I'm here, baby cousin." Her relative releases the grip of her and Helena gently takes off her black trench-coat off and gently wraps it around her cousin, making sure she is fully covered. She kindly puts it on her, because she is clueless, due to being gone for a couple of years.
"I..." tears fills up in her eyes, "I..."
"Shh," tears went down her eyes, but not much as Liz, "Its okay" Helena gets back onto her two feet and she walks over to her and helps her get back on her feet, wobbly at first, but need assistants to help her walk.
Liz covered in the black trench-coat, all the way button up; she slowly climbs up the steep slope and following what her cousin is doing. As she gets up to the other side, she gazed at the sky and the ruins of the city. She wants to break down and cry.
Helena stops walking, noticing her cousin, brought from the dead, somehow, isn't coming. Turning back at her cousin, watching her scared to death what happened over the years. She goes over to her.
"What I've done?" she collapses onto the ground crying, "I...murdered Earth."
Kneeling down immediately as she begins to cry, she gently puts her hands onto her cousin, who she treats her as a sister, looking at her cousin in the eyes, she began to speak to her, softly, trying to sooth her, "Liz, you done nothing wrong."
Shaking her head in disbelief, "...I couldn't come back...to prevent...this..." looking at the sky, buildings, and everywhere else is all in a mess, in ruins, throughout the city, throughout the world. "....I tried to come back....but I couldn't...they wouldn't let me...."
Not knowing what she meant by that, she gently asks her, trying not to upset her. "Who, Liz? Who wouldn't let you go..."
She lifts her heads up, looking at the red sky, tears streaming down her eyes and looking at her cousin, dead center in the eyes, "I was being punished, the crimes I commit, I was in hell"
Hearing those words that she just spoken to her, wanted her to cry, because she was punished even more, she was doing a fine job as a hero, but she knew it wasn't enough to prevent her from going to hell, because Liz's tragic life made her become a hunter, a killer, a murderer, with the crimes she done in the past, she had to be punished, like paying a money debt then afterwards you will feel free.
"Don't worry, you won't be punished anymore..." watching her still shaking her head, she placed her hands onto her shoulders, "Listen to me, no one will ever hurt you again, Liz, you have to be strong with me, with people back at home, and the world, nationwide wants you to be stronger, do you remember why?" Trying knocking sense into her, so she can be back onto her feet to kick some major booda at the fiends and especially the trio of destruction, who lately disappeared, probably planning for the big bang, a celebration for each other, except MortiSin doesn't count.
Helena watched at Liz nods her head, agreeing what she said, "I have to be stronger...." Smiling at her cousin and she gently hugs her. Liz hugging back also, "Thank you..."
She releases her cousin and she goes back onto her feet, Helena gets up also. The two walks down the long street, stepping between the nasty debris all over the place. As they made it safely to down the clean street, except filled with papers, glasses, empty beer bottles, and homeless people looking for food in the trash and cover themselves with newspaper trying to keep themselves warm.
Liz walks towards a trash barrel and she began to make her fingers, sparking with flames. She points down in the trash barrel and watched the flames dropping off the tip of her finger tips and onto the papers in the trash. The papers blew up in flames and she gently controls it, so it doesn't hurt people.
Homeless people sleeping in the corners of the stairways began to feel warmness on their skin, smiled. Opening their eyes, seeing the fire made them happy, that they won't die in the freezing temperature city.
One looked at Liz, smiling, "Thank you, you're an angel."
Nodding her head, smiling, "No problem, the heroes are back..." as she lets out a little exposure, which it doesn't even matter anymore, because the world is already in a chaos and they need to see something change once in a while, especially a day like this one.
Helena smiling in what Liz did, made her proud of her, this tells her Liz is back and not going anywhere.
Liz walks over into the middle of the streets and looks at the cracks, she gently places her palms onto the road and red and white light shoots out of her hands and the two lights fills up the cracks, she is somewhat patching up the Earth. Giving it another hand, looking up at the sky, she notices the sky is slowly changing colors, but it slowly changes back to the default color -- red.
"Any luck?" said Helena walking over to her cousin's side.
Getting back on her feet, "Not really" turning to her cousin, "Well, I can't cure the Earth by being one element, the only way to cure the Earth is all the elements combining their color, their powers into one..." she closes her eyes gently and reopens it, "To visible light..."
"So what we want to do now...?" waiting for the reply.
"Going back to the clock tower and get ready for the fight, no more slacking off, no more distractions in the way, we will face many battles, but we will never break, we will get back on our feet, fighting to the death to prevent Armageddon..."
