A/N: It's my first time...So don't Flame...
My name is Shide, I moved to Jump City when I was fourteen with my parents. We moved from place to place constantly, I know not of where I was born nor do I know nothing of where my family, if any, is located. It all started here in Jump City, how I dread the memories of long past, two years ago...
Everyday my mother and father would say goodbye, each going to their seemingly normal jobs, in this seemingly normal city. Jump City was a dream come true, their was hardly any criminals, the beach was miraculous, and everything was perfect. All good things, though, come to and end. One night around two or three in the mourning, I forget, I awoke to a strange noise coming from the basement. My father never lets me in there, he keeps it under lock whenever he's asleep or off to work. Anywho, back to the basement, I was tired and a little hungry when this cracking sound woke me. My mother didn't hear it at all, she's a very VERY hard sleeper. Since the sound came from the basement, I shrugged it off and went to the kitchen, which was down the hall.
I was right in the middle of eating scraps of cold pizza and sprinkling tofu on it, I like tofu I'm not a vegetarian but still its tasty. I heard the basement door open but since it was pitch black I didn't notice who came out. I don't have a sister or pets, and my father and mother wouldn't bring guests into the house after midnight, so of course I thought it was my father. Still tired, I didn't say anything or take another bite, so I heard footsteps heading for the main bedroom, my parents room.
I started eating again when I noticed that my dad left the basement door open, as curious as I was I felt it was an once in a life time opportunity to see what lay hidden in the, "forbidden," room. I sneaked from my place at the kitchen counter, not making one little sound, as I crept closer to the basement door, I could feel my heart pounding with anticipation. I was just moments away from opening the door, I felt so nervous, once before I came near this door looking for my father, when he seen me trying to open the door, he quickly scolded me and told me never to even bother trying to get in. So naturally when your doing something that your parents don't want you to, I was feeling a little doubtful.
I grasped the door knob with my right hand, moist with sweat and a little bit of ketchup, I had a bit of trouble keeping a hold of it, trying not to make a sound. I managed to get the door halfway open when it happened. It was so sudden, and I'm sure I almost wet myself, for the first time in my life, my mind went blank, it took me a couple of seconds to regain my composure. It was the beginning of a play that would have me as it's leading role, and my parents as dispensable extras.
When I was opening the door slowly, I heard a loud crash repeatedly, with each crash I heard her screaming. The sound of bones and cartilage snapping against her bedroom wall, blood curdling screams as she was being forced into the wall. Within seconds it was over, horrified by the sounds of my mother being mutilated and her body falling to the ground with a low squishing sound. I didn't notice the basement door open, as it was slowly opening with a low creaking noise. A scene that will stay with me till' the day I die, I felt as though I was in a horrible nightmare...
There laying on the ground was my father, ...dead. His body was mangled in such a fashion that it seemed as if his bones were shattered into tiny pieces and his limp body used as a crash test dummy. Blood was still oozing from his nose, mouth, and ears. At the sight of my one and only father, my mind was racing and my stomach churning. I stood there a couple feet from my father, I collapsed, on the ground laying in his blood, I found myself getting sick in the stomach, I vomited. Pieces of chewed up pizza, and small chunks of tofu, splattered against the blood stained floor.
I was dizzy from the sudden shock of it all, it just dawned on me that the cracking noise that awoke me, was the sound of my father dying. How could all of this happen? Why me? Why them? Questions raced through my mind. I remember thinking that it all must be a messed nightmare, I would wake up in the mourning and see the smiling faces of my mother and father. How I wish that it was just a dream, but some wishes don't come true, it was real, all of it. It was after I threw up that I noticed that my fathers body and I were not the only ones occupying the basement. Behind me, was the murderer, the one who destroyed my seemingly normal, perfect life.
He, I will never forget either, his graying hair, those shallow eyes, the maroon colored robes with dark gray lining and his annoyingly calm voice filled with evil as he said, "Ah, the child..." Right as the words came out his mouth, my blood was burning, almost every emotion was coming at me full force, Anger, Pain and sorrow were the worst of it. He spoke again, " Hear me boy, I'm here to take you away from this place, no worries though, you will be back but when you return you will help me take over this world, HAHAHAHA!!! His laugh was begging me, bidding me to stand and kill him. I was stupid and reckless, without knowing it I rose and struck him in the face. However hard I hit him, it did not phase him. This time instead of speaking he grabbed me by my neck and threw me to the wall opposite him.
As I hit the ground my vision was blurring, Next thing I know the ceiling was knocked down, and a tall man wearing a black and emerald green suit came crashing in. I recognized him as the Green Lantern, I had seen many reports in the news about the justice league, and seeing him made me less scared. He ran over to me after he noticed my fathers body on the ground. He shook me and said, "Hey, Hey kid what happened here?!?" Most likely one of the neighbors heard the commotion with my mother, and phoned the police, who in turn probably told the Green Lantern.
I struggled to talk, my mouth was dry and I was really their mentally at the time. Eventually though I managed to tell him about the strange man who had killed my parents. I noticed his eyes shoot up in alarm as I said this, because it seemed that the murderer wanted to leave a message. From who knows where his voice echoed, "I will get what I came for, but for now it'll have to wait. Farewell..." His voice trailed off. The Green Lantern looked back down at me and said, "Do you know who that was, and what it is he wanted?" I shook my head 'no'.
Getting some strength back in my legs I beckoned him to help me up. About that time I started to remember the events, those emotions came at me again, but this time it was different. My head was filled with excruciating pain, as I slid down back on my knees yelling in pain, I was clutching my head. GL was startled and was trying to figure out what was going on. Then by what GL has told me, my eyes went into a glowing dark blue, as the room was starting to shake. Large circles of light illuminated the ground encircling me, with my mind on the pain I didn't notice. Within seconds the pain was too unbearable and I howled with pain one last time. At the same exact time that it happened the circles on the ground immediately shot into the air and destroyed what was left of the ceiling and roof. As the pillars of energy came down back to the ground, I passed out.
This would be the beginning to my story that led me to these steps, in the doorway of Titans Tower...
