Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't own the Justice League. I own Element and
the people she mentions later on in the story. This is my first JL fanfic
and I'm only 13, so it might be kind of poorly written.
Behind the Mask Prologue
"No...No...NO!!!" She woke up from her nightmare. "No." she whispered. She was still in the barn that she was in before she fell asleep. Everything that she hoped was just part of that nightmare was real. She knew that it was all too real. She stood up. Hay was attached to her clothes. That's what happens when you lay in a haystack, she thought. She brushed it off. Then she asked herself, "What am I going to do? I can't go back. Not after what I did. I'll just have to keep running. I'll create a different identity. I'll use my powers for good, like a superhero! Maybe I can even make up for what I did." She felt a pang of guilt after she said that. Why did she remind herself of that incident? She would have to make a costume if she wanted to be a superhero. She pulled her money out of her pocket and counted it. She had enough to buy materials for a costume. Well, she also hadn't bought anything with her own money for almost a year, and she got her brother's money after he...no, she couldn't remind herself of that. She looked out a window. It was still dark out. She was hungry. She used her powers to grow some food. After she finished her snack, she opened the door and prepared to leave, but she felt that she should do something for the farmer that owned the barn. She cleaned up the mess she had made and left $20.00 for him, with a note that said "Thank you" on it. Then she flew away. She flew towards some lights, then passed a sign that said, "Welcome to Gotham City!" She had heard of Gotham, and she had also heard of Batman, The Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy...she felt another pang of guilt. Poison Ivy could grow plants, like she could. And she would never forget the first time she used her plant powers... She landed and tried to look like a normal person. She walked into a mall, which happened to be open still. She looked for the perfect color for her costume. She eventually decided on salmon, even though she had always despised that color. Well, she thought, maybe it will help make people think I'm someone else... She bought a salmon-colored sweatshirt with a hood, sweatpants, rubber boots, and gloves. She went to a fabric store and bought the materials to make a mask. When she found out she had enough money to buy more, she bought the same things again, to make another costume. She found an alley and put the finishing touches on it. When she put it on, she thought, "Maybe I should just keep it on, and put the other one on when I'm washing this one." She left town and found a spot in the woods, fairly close to the city, and made a hideout out of plants. When she was satisfied with her work, she tried to sleep some more. She woke up to the sound of sirens in the city... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope you like it so far! Please review!
