Disclaimer: I said I don't own Static Shock! So don't sue me. (P.S. If anyone actually does own the fandom and is posting here, I'll eat my shoes).
Author's note: As some of my extremely nice and ego-boosting reviewers have noticed there's no dialogue in this fic. That's because I'm doing a journal that he only updates every 30 years, right before he goes back. The story is really going to be more about exploring Gear's psyche as he gets older and crazier. I'm thinking about doing a companion fic from Virgil's perspective happening in the present though. Oh, and Gear is now a venerable 105 in this post.
Log Two-
Why does everyone seem to think you're crazy when you tell them the world's about to end? I tried just going straight to the Justice League this and explaining situation, but of course they didn't believe me. Sure they seemed nice enough and listened patiently while I told them what was going to happen, but once I was done they just oh so politely asked if I could take a month-long vacation from superhero work. Assholes.
Virgil was no help this time around either. He practically forced me to do what the League said, threatening to tell my parents about my alter ego if I didn't. I was able to get Backpack to set up some cameras around Judgment regular hideouts, so I could see when her powers emerged and maybe try to get her it that happens next time around. I didn't really feel like that was enough though, so I also got Backpack to take some hair samples too. Of course, that idiot Virgil got in my way again, showing up just as Backpack was delivering Judgment's hair samples.
I realized what it looked right away, and knew there was nothing I could do to explain why I was stalking some seemingly innocent homeless girl. I tried to run, but Virgil caught up and used his 'static cling' to stick me to the ceiling. The Justice League had no idea what to do with me, since they'd never had to deal with a superhero stalker before. I can't blame them, as I doubt there have been many 15 year old boys who weren't superheroes stalking 13 year old girls before either. While the League was trying to decide whether or not to hand me in to the police, Judgment struck.
After a quick apology, I was let out of my holding cell by J'onn. He and the rest of the idiots in the League had decided it would be best if we offered support from the Watchtower. They really didn't seem to take any of my warnings seriously and just rushed in head on to face her.
Flash and Wonder Woman were dead in three seconds. Judgment had taken control of Superman and seemed to be having a lot of fun watching Green Lantern trying to fight him. The only one really able to fight off Judgment's attacks was Hawkgirl. Her mace seemed to just cut through Judgment summoned spirits. It took about a full minute for Judgment to realize just how big a threat Hawkgirl was. Like a child bored with her toys she killed off Superman and Green Lantern and focused her attention on Hawkgirl. Once Judgment realized how useless summoning other souls was against her, she took another approach. Partially taking over Hawkgirl's body she immobilized her arms while she sent her army of souls after her. With vindictive pleasure she cut her apart piece by piece, at one point even forcing Hawkgirl to bite off her own finger. Like always though her powers got the better of her and she collapsed, spirits appearing out of thin air to attack people all over the world.
J'onn, who had been at the other side of the Watchtower during the fight, called me over to him. With a horrified look on his face he made me look through the Watchtower's telescope at Mars, which was now white with raging souls. I hadn't realized Judgment's powers would reach that far, and with to my horror I saw that there were some from Earth headed towards us. Unable to touch me, they quickly killed J'onn, and left.
After it was all over, I decided to see just how far Judgment's power's had reached. Traveling in the Javelin I stopped at every known inhabited planet looking for signs of sentient life. There was nothing anywhere I went. Even the Gaurdians of the Universe, creators of the Green Lantern Corp, were gone. Dismayed, I went back to Earth to do some thinking.
I think the only way to stop Judgment is to kill her. If I can't do by normal means, then I'll need to steal Hawkgirl's mace, it's the only thing that seemed to work against her powers. This time when I go back I'm definitely going to do it.
