-That Night-

In Metropolis City, the police is dragging away a struggling cuffed man. Hiding in the eerie shadow, the masked warrior jumps onto a rooftops and continues her patrol in the reflected shadows of the bright city. After a while, the young heroine sees a woman being corner by a large man. The man, wearing a large trench coat, pins the woman's wrist above her head. Quickly landing behind the man, Shadow Beast dashes forward to knock him unconscious when the woman being cornered pushes Shadow Beast off the man. The heroine then back away, surprise yet is still ready to fight. Gazing cautiously at the man and woman, Shadow Beast then realize that the two people are actually Wonder Woman and the Martian Manhunter.

"Good evening," a familiar voice of Superman greets.

Trying to escape the group of well-known superheroes, Shadow Beast jumps onto the roof, but is quickly block by the Flash himself.

Superman gently states, trying to calm the frantic heroine, "You don't need to be afraid of us. We won't hurt you."

Shadow Beast quickly turns around to find the Justice League standing in front of her. Shadow Beast takes a step back as the group moves towards her.

Flash says, putting his hand up in defense. "We are just here to talk."

The figure stays quiet as Batman continues, "We want you to join the Justice League."

Flash flatly remarks, "That was kind of forceful."

"We were wondering if you would like to join the Justice League," Superman rephrases.

Shadow Beast just shakes her head and is ready to leave when the Flash holds her back; placing a hand on her shoulder. Unluckily, the speedster has made a terrible mistake. When Shadow Beast turns to face him, Flash's face pales dangerously while he stare into what seems to be Shadow Beast's eyes. As the Flash is consume in the horror, the other league members try to reach him by screaming and shaking him. When Shadow Beast realizes what she has done, she slowly places a hand on Flash's forehead and after a few seconds, he snaps back to reality. The red streak stumbles back and lands on his bottom.

Hawk Woman quickly moves forward to help her fellow teammate up. "Flash!"

The said hero grips the Thanagarians arm tightly while still trembling.

"That was ho-horrible," the Flash stutters.

"What did you see," Hawk-woman questions, worrying for her friend.

Shadow Beast then speaks, "I apologize for showing you such horror, but never ever grab me like that again."

The voice indeed belongs to a female. The heroine's voice is muffled, and has a hint of a Japanese accent. The Bat sucks in this new information as he stares at the mysterious figure.

"I must reject your offer Superman," she states. "I am too dangerous to work with you. I do not want to harm innocent civilians."

"You won't young one," Martian Manhunter assures. "What you have done for the city has been a great example of a hero. We all agreed for you to join us."

The female stands in silence until she replies, "Even so I am still dangerous to everyone. The power in me has to be sealed away. I have been exiled to this world because of my power and those that are seal in me."

"What is sealed in you?" Green Lantern asks. "Who exile you?"

Shadow Beast is about to speak when she suddenly falls to her knees with her hand over her mouth. The League tries to help but the girl holds her other hand up, stopping them.

After a few short coughs, Shadow Beast stands and bows, "I apologize; I have to make my leave."

With that, the female disappears into the night. The League sighs in relief; glad that nothing happened except the incident with Flash. Suddenly, they gasp at what they see in front of them. A pool of red crimson blood lies where Shadow Beast had kneel down.

"Hera," the Amazon gasps.
