Sharon pulled her jacket collar up as she walked down the sunny street. It had been four months since Ebon died and the dark matter was taken down from the sky. All around her people were rebuilding and repairing, trying to piece their lives back together. Many of the people helping were meta-humans. Now that Ebon was gone it was safe for them to come out again, and many now had come to a new understanding of them. The Justice League also had a dozen members or so around town helping with the reconstruction.
About fifteen minutes after Ebon died, Gear had shown up. He had figured something was happening when he saw Static's symbol and the symbol of the crow over Ebon's safe house. He had flown there right away. When he arrived, he had found the wreaked house and Sharon on the third floor. After comforting her, he had proceeding to search the house until he found the dark matter machine. He then hauled it outside and set it for reverse, sucking the dark matter out of the sky and letting in the sun.
Sharon had told him what happened. He believed her, but when they tried telling everyone else, not many did. The official story was that Ebon and his three henchmen had died of mysterious causes, most likely induced by someone else. No one really questioned who, though, they were just happy that they were dead.
"Hey, Sharon!" Sharon turned around to see Gear and Nightingale, who was wearing extremely dark sunglasses, walking towards her holding hands. They wear dressed in new clothes and looked better kept then they had been while in hiding.
"Oh, hey you guys!" Sharon smiled.
"We're going out for lunch, want to come?" Gear asked. Sharon nodded and the three headed off to lunch at one of Dakota's only restaurants. After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at the Grilling Hotstreak, formerly Ridley's Bar. They walked in and seated themselves amongst the other filled tables. Minutes later a man with abnormally spiky red and yellow hair came to there table and took their orders. A few minutes later he brought them their food.
"Always thought he'd make a good cook," Gear joked as he ate his food. After they finished they paid their bill and left a gracious tip.
"Same time next week, Hotstreak!" Gear shouted as he left. Hotstreak looked up from the table he was waiting on and nodded to Gear.
"Just get out of here!" he shouted back jokingly. The three laughed and walked out. Once outside, they realized it was raining.
"Geez, what a storm," Nightingale said as she looked up at the sky. Clouds were gathering and lightning was beginning to clash in the air.
"Yeah," Gear agreed. They started to walk away, but Sharon suddenly stopped. She heard a loud clap of thunder and turned around fast enough to just barely see a black lightning bolt flash across the sky.
"It couldn't be," she whispered to herself. She waited a few minutes, staring at the sky, but the black lightning did not return.
"Sharon, come on, we're getting soaked!" Gear shouted. Sharon shook her head.
"Ok, here I come!" she laughed as she ran to catch up with them.
Ending Notes - Alright, there you go. Sorry it took so long to finish, but life catches up to you eventually. Maybe posting two chapters will make it up to you. Hope you like the ending, took me a while to come up with it. I might have a sequel, I have a few ideas floating around. But anyways, till next time!
