This event was filled with a decent amount of press. Just to see the Watchtower launch. It was impressive, you had to admitted, no doubt cost a fortune. It was huge, triple the size of a satellite, had its own launch pad and everything, others could live in there if they wanted. It was no wonder others couldn't stop staring and taking pictures.

You on the other hand had your attention elsewhere, that you nearly missed the president's arrival.

Cyborg Superman.

He was here, hovering above everyone and the stage by the tower. An absent look on. Staring across the field then up at the sky for a long period of time. It was a bit eerie, maybe it was because of his...new form or whatever. It's what cyborgs did or something you weren't sure. It was just strange.

Actually, your eyes narrow at him, he was strange. His mannerisms mirrored the actual Superman, but that was it...it was mirrored. Something was off...look closer, your eyes for a moment switch to black. You mutter something in Latin quietly, allowing you to burrow inside. Inside to see...

"Violet," Jimmy nudged you.

Pulling you back, you had to take a moment to catch your breath and yourself.

Shook your head a bit. "Y-Yeah?"

"The president arrived."

Regaining yourself see that she had, her escort and service pulled up with a few other limos. Everyone applauded and cameras went off. Her door was opened by Superboy, you where surprise to see him, looking pass the president as she stepped out directly at the teen. It didn't go unnoticed, feeling eyes on him Superboy stopped for a moment looked up and around, found your wide eyes on him.

His cheeks flushed for a moment and the smile had turned sheepish, you stiffen, shift and drop your eyes to the side. Smirk. Shuffle back a bit where you stood. Accidentally bumped into Jimmy who looked at you odd. Lois smiled to herself.

"Hush," You nip.

She didn't say a single word.

"Yesterday, my husband," the president began, "said Joan why do have to do this? And I said-"

There it was! Again! That ominous chill and it wasn't because of the dark weather that just added to the feeling. No, it was something else...it rippled all across your skin, prickling. You began shivering and trembling. Wrapped your arms around yourself to hopefully warm yourself, it did nothing. Each word the president said your trembling got worse to the point it felt physical all over, you almost fall to your knees.

Lois caught you. "Whoa," she supported you. "Violet, are you okay?"

From the stage Superboy saw it, nearly stepped off the stage, a loud thunderous boom crackled. Many didn't think much of it believing it to be just thunder, but for others or yourself personally. Knew something was coming, you felt it in every cell of your body. If Lois wasn't holding you, you'd surely drop to your knees, but she kept a tight grip trying to figure out was wrong while also tryin got keep you steady and calm. Jimmy noticed and just as he got ready to ask what was wrong. Something open up in the sky high above everyone, where the sound centered on. All eyes and heads looked up at the bright light that shinned down, there was large fiery orangish red portal. No one knew where it came from or what is was doing, in few seconds everyone found out!

From the portal hulking metal covered creatures flew out. Razor wings, sharp teeth, claws and a red omega symbol on their chest. Screeched horridly, frightening everyone into a running panic.

"Here!" Lois handed you to Jimmy and went to help others.

Everyone ran like free-range animals. Everywhere. The commutation nearly made many of them easy targets, the Justice League quickly came to their aid. Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and Superman took the ones in the sky. While Flash and Batman held the ones who landed.

Something wasn't right...something just...you still felt it. There was something twisted about all this...that portal...something else was...in there. Beyond it. Pushing pass your pain, manage to mutter the words in Latin. Eyes went black and everything felt light...like a cloud for a moment. everything was like a blur for a second and next thing fire! Fire everyone and...two figures one stood authoritatively over the figure kneel. Their physical features where hard to make out but the one standing was tall, muscular like a mountain, and had red eyes. Red eyes turned to you, with a look that nearly made your heart go cold. They stared like cold daggers, began glowing and beams shot straight out.

Struck you!

You scream!

Everything goes black, you weren't sure you were dead or not. Everything was silent. Quiet. Still. Where you actually dead? Who was that dark figure...how did they know of your presence and...

"Violet!"

Who was that? What was going on?

"Violet! Violet!"

Was someone shaking you? Why did it feel like someone was shaking you? Why-

"Violet!"

Jimmy screamed multiply times, shaking you in his arms. You had collapsed suddenly out of the blue, after the blood churring scream that came from you. He wasn't sure what was wrong. You were cold suddenly and...for some reason smoke tricked off you. His mind raced trying to understand what just happened. No one hit you or anything...or...why hadn't you woken up yet?

He kept shaking you, but received nothing. You remained unresponsive. There was only one thing he could do, run and get away from here. Holding in his arms ran. Ran with the others, one of the creatures dropped down raised a claw. Slashed it down, Jimmy gripped you close, coward down. A dark figure came, kicked the creature square in the face, dropped down sweep under their legs. Kicked them again in the chest knocking them back. Flung two items at the creatures, piercing their chest, in a second the creature exploded.

Opening his eyes Jimmy stared stunned. Batman stood with his back to the young man and you. He took a moment to glance at you, remaining stoic and rushed off to defend another. Jimmy wasted no time, got up and ran. Trying hard not to trip or drop you. It was his running motion that started to wake you. It was blurry for a moment, but it focused. You see the people running, hear their screams and see those creatures.

Those creatures!

The portal!

You had to-

Another creature drops down, Jimmy screamed, you with the strength you had push yourself from him and deliver a kick coated in flames. While pushing Jimmy down at the same time so he wouldn't see. The creature's mid second was incinerated, with a gapping hole. Fell over dead. You stood over it making sure. Eyes glowing.

"Jimmy," you said in a dark tone, Jimmy wasn't sure if it was you. You do your best to try and keep it like that. "go on ahead. I'll be right behind you."

Before he could say anything, you were gone. "Violet?"

Gripping your choker rip it off, thankful for the crowd allowed you to hid your quick transformation. Calling upon the flames, they burn off your clothes and replace them with a much more suitable wear. With your back now open and exposed, form fire wings, fly up towards the portal. Those creatures tried coming at you, easily you dodge them or just impale them with a fiery strike. They weren't going to stop you, you needed to reach that portal. Flames covered your hands, your mind shuffled through finding the right incantation which you hopefully would work. John said it a few times, so you were going off ear. With the last word, shot your hands outward, fire a long stream of black flames directly at the portal.

Over and over again you kept reciting the words, grunting from exertion, continue. Slowly it was starting to take effect, it was going to work. This was good, this was very good. Just a little more and-

Something sharp and hot struck you, it happened so fast you weren't sure if did or not. Began feeling lightheaded and something wet. Looking down you see a grown stain of red and drops of it. With a hand touch it feel it.

Blood.

It was your blood. Something shot you, hitting you right in the torso. But...But...who?

The last question your mind could form before everything dropped and went black.
