Chapter 32: Moving From The Past To The Present

Location: Everest-Underground City-Hallway

Harley was walking down the hallway not paying attention to anything. She was absorbed in the book she was reading.

Despite Christiana's sharp teeth and dazzling eyes, Tristan finds himself falling for the siren. Only fate will decided whether she kills or protects him.

One night, a shape shifter appears before Tristan and warns him of the darkness within Christiana. The shape shifter gives Tristan the stripy blade - the only weapon that can defeat…

"Damn," Harley grunted, as she fell back. She looked up and saw a face she hadn't seen in years.

"This can't be real," Harley said.

"Does that mean you've been dreaming about me," Riddler (Edward Nigma) said, holding out his hand to her.

"You wish, Riddler," Harley said, taking his hand and letting him pull her up.

"Its just Edward now," Edward said, with a smirk.

"You're at UnderGround," Harley said.

"Yeah, transferred this week," Edward said.

"So what have you been up too," Harley asked.

"You know running from H.E.O.M.A.A. and fighting in a world wide rebellion," Edward joked, reaching down and picking up Harley's book, "And you've been reading Andrew Christian novels."

"Well you can't spend all your time in the shooting range," Harley said, taking her book.

"You would try," Edward said, with a smile. They were both quit for a moment. Harley started to play with the end on her braid, and Edward pulled on his necklace.

"You still wear it," Harley said, catching sight of his pendent.

"What," Edward said, confused.

"Your necklace," Harley said, pointing to the gold question mark hanging on the chain.

"Oh this," Edward said, holding up his necklace pendant.

"You used to wear question marks," Harley said.

"Yes, I did," Edward said, putting the necklace inside his shirt.

"They were nice. Why don't you wear them anymore," Harley asked.

"Oh, I still do," Edward said, before leaning toward her and whispering, "I've got question mark underpants." He finished with a wink.

"Makes a girl wonder what the question could be," Harley said, smiling up at him.

Location: Everest-Underground City-Wally's Office

The only sound in the room was the ticking of the clock on the wall. Diana glanced around the room. Wally's office was not something she could see Flash ever have, but then again she had been gone for so long.

The silence was broken my Wally, would never looked up for the paperwork on his desk.

"I can't help you with whatever brought you here if you don't talk," Wally said, sensing Diana's discomfort.

"I don't know what to say," Diana said, after a moment.

"How are you adjusting to this world?" Wally asked in a softer tone, looking up to Diana and pushing the paper work away.

"It's different," she answered, honestly. "Basically everyone I knew is gone and so much has changed."

"There's something else," Wally said.

"Themyscira," Diana said.

"Ahh," Wally sighed, lending back in his chair.

"What happened to it," Diana said, "I know it's gone, but...how?"

"The same thing that happened to us all," Wally said, "They were seen as a potential danger and a few media pieces and the world was convinced of an invasion, and calling for a preventive strike."

"No," Diana murmured, sinking forward and shaking her head, "Mother never wanted to become involved with Man's World again."

"We tried to help," Wally said, and then there was a knock at the door "Come in." Harley was there.

"The files on the RIVERRUNS Operation," Harley said, walking into the room.

"Right here," Wally said, motioning to a file on his desk.

"My sisters…what did you tell them," Diana asked, as Harley grabbed the file and headed to the door.

"Nothing…they didn't let me say anything. The Amazons would not listen to me," Wally said.

"Because of your stupid penis," Harley said from the doorway.

"I prefer 'untested leadership skills'," Wally said, waving her away.

"So I'm truly alone," Diana said, after a few moments.

"I'm sorry," Wally said, "We tried to get a team stationed-"

"The Amazons are a strong people," Diana cut him off, "We fight to the end, and we fight our own battles."

"Don't do that," Wally said, "Do rationalize what happened away."

"Man's World-" Diana started.

"No. Not Man's World," Wally said fiercely, "This was one group of people. People who the only way they could feel important was to bring down the rest…Your sisters fought with honor, but the people they were fighting did not."

Location: Everest-Underground City-Barracks-Clark's Room

Clark Kent had decided that he hated the new world.

At least what he'd seen of it, and most of the people in it.

The first medical checkup was necessary, of course. He'd been imprison in a Kryptonite radiation cell for 10 years; even through he was superhuman, no one can last in through conditions. And since his strength and power were still not working, he was given every medical test that could be thought of. And everything was starting to get on his nerves. He had just gotten back to his room—a small, grey room that looked more like a prison to him than a place he could call home—when there was a knock at his door.

Now normally, Clark would consider himself to be a patient man. But seriously, he had just gotten done being poked and prodded and ran on a treadmill two hours straight and had his force strength; and he was honestly just a little tired of dealing with people or anything. So when he opened the door, he was ready to yell at whoever was standing at the other side.

He found himself face-to-face with that he was sure was an illusion.

"I was told you may have had a rough day," said a voice. One he thought he would not hear again.

"Impossible," Clark breathe, taking in the woman in front of him.

"Now, Smallville, I've been many things, but never impossible," Lois Lane said.

"You're here," Clark said.

"Yes," Lois said, pushing pass him into the room.

"I-I'm confused," Clark said.

"Well, it's a big club, we should get T-shirts," Lois said, "Take your time, Smallville. I'm not going anywhere."

Clark didn't say anything. All he did way pull her to him and held her tight.

Location: Everest-Underground City-LowerLevels-Cheshire's Quarter

Jade walked into her daughter's room and leaned against the doorframe. Lily was lying in bed with a book in hand and the soft sound of music coming from her radio.

"Mom? What's wrong?" Lily asked, seeing her mother in the doorway.

"Nothing…Honey, there's someone here to see you," Jade replied. Lily sat up.

"Really? Who is it?" Lily asked. Her mother sighed, closing her eyes briefly.

"Well, it's your father," she said. Lily froze, then slowly pulled a blanket around her shoulders and ran out into the main room of the their quarters. Standing there was a man with the same messy redish-brown hair and brown eyes as Lily.

"D-dad," Lily whispered, her voice hoarse and eyes wide. Roy's face lit up when he saw her. He stepped towards her and stooped down to her level.

"Lily," he murmured. All you could do was stare at her. She was perfect. She had Jade's dark hair and skin tone, but she had his eyes and nose. She was a perfect blend of the two.

"Dad!" she cried, flinging her arms around his neck and hugging him.


Author's Note:

Riddler was my favorite villain from the comics. None of the movies or shows could ever seem to do him justice through. Lily is age 11, and Damien is age 12.

Thanks for reading! Please review! Reviews motivate me to post, and let me know that the story is actually wanted.
