Disclaimer: I own nothing except for my OC Alba Grayson and any alterations to the original storyline plot her presence creates to various readers everywhere across the globe during these dark and grueling times.
Morning Star Prologue
Ever since the Justice League was formed after Darkseid's first attempt to conquer the planet Earth has remained safe under their constant protection. With so many heroes united against threats both on and off world they've worked as a team to push back all threats that come their way including the second time Darkseid made an attempt on their planet.
But Darkseid's threat never truly went away. Whether it took years, decades, or centuries it's always known he would come back.
Only problem is no one thought he would try again this soon.
After conquering various solar systems Darkseid has finally reached theirs, intent to conquer and destroy.
Immediately the hero's old and new are mobilized to face the oncoming threat. There's an enormous difference this time around. Whereas before Apokolips was on the offensive and Earth on the defensive now the situation is reversed. This time the Justice League is taking the fight to Darkseid. There is a hell of a lot of mixed feelings about this given each time a fight similar to this has occurred they'd have the homefield advantage, but the decision has been made by Superman and the other original Leaguers. There's no changing it.
So the attack force consists entirely of Justice League members with allies from certain corners of the globe recruited for this dangerous endeavor. Some selected Leaguers are to remain behind on standby with the Teen Titans just in case something were to go wrong. That way Earth will still have some line of defense in the long run.
All of the Teen Titans are at Titans Tower awaiting further instructions, including Damian Wayne, Dick Grayson, and Dick's younger sister Alba Grayson.
Alba is the middle child in the family. Unlike the men in this unconventional family Alba goes by a persona that is opposite to theirs.
Morning Star.
Don't let how sweet her name sounds fool you. This young lady is as fierce as they come when in a fight both in and out of costume.
Be that as it may right now Alba's anxiety is almost through the roof. Just standing around and waiting with no contact from the Justice League is so nerve-racking.
Alba is standing outside staring at the sky trying to take her mind off things. It's been a few hours already and there's no word from anyone.
Dick is out there with her hoping to ease her stress.
Lightly nudging his shoulder into hers in reassurance and brotherly affection, Dick said "Hey, take it easy. There's no need to worry. I'm sure everything is going according to plan on Apokolips. Hell probability is high that we won't even be needed. No way they'll allow any of those Parademons to get this far again."
"How can you be so sure? I heard the conversation you had with Damian. As you told him there are always risks in wartime," reminded Alba, rattled by all this.
Nodding with a confident smile, Dick said "Yes, I did say that. But in this case the risks are extremely minimal. We have a solid plan in place and Darkseid has no idea that we're coming. Trust me. It'll be fine."
If only that were true.
No sooner than did Dick speak that a gigantic Boom Tube opened, hovering over Titans Tower.
Erupting from it is a legion of monsters fresh from Apokalips that no one has seen before. Darkseid's newest additions to his armed forces.
Paradooms, creatures brought to life by DNA combinations from original Parademons and Doomsday.
Eyes wide, Dick said "Oh shit!"
The Paradooms allow no time to prepare. The whole wave attack Titans Tower in full force.
"Dick," screams Alba.
Authors Note:
In honor of the brand-new Justice League: Dark Apokolips War film that just came out. Anyone else get goosebumps after watching that? Ha! Ha!
Also, watching it gave me a certain idea. For those of you who read the stories these OC's are a part of, what do you guys think of me combining my characters Audrina from Heart Of Atlantis and Danika from this one once we get to this new movie?
How old would Dick Grayson be here in this timeline? I want to make sure I get the ages right.
Also, I still haven't figured out what Danika's superhero name should be. Choices for her are in between Tempest and Twilight.
I hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D
I recently came up with this one from watching the new movie and it won't leave me alone. I just had to get it down. I didn't want to risk forgetting it. I'm not gonna sugarcoat things. Just by watching the movie alone I'm sure you guys already know this isn't gonna be an easy ride for Alba. During the next few chapters you'll see why.
Right now during this epidemic with the coronavirus that's impacting every nation in the entire world we really do need find whatever sources we possibly can in order to lighten our spirits. Especially those who are unfortunately stuck sick or those locked in self isolation in order to prevent both contraction and spread of the illness. For those of us who have the abilities to do this we have a duty to keep up morale and that's exactly what I wholeheartedly desire these new stories and updates concocted during this time do for you.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
I recently put up some other works I've put out at titled Secret Of Bristol Cove, Predators Redemption, Rava's Journey, Princess Of The Forest, A Revolutionary Romance, Aunt, Fantine Tezla: Hot Wheels Acceleracers, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, Magic And the Brave Little Toaster 1, Lavinia: Princess Of Edelweiss, Rorschach's Legend, Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, The 8thLoser, Naomi Poldark: Mistress Of Nampara, Serenity: End Guardian To The Moors, Dido Cruger: Power Rangers SPD, The True Catwoman Of Gotham, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, and Nuala: The White Lioness. I highly recommend them. ;D
By the way Rorschach's Legend, Aunt, Mandalorian: The 2ndFoundling, Eira Byrnison, and Watchmen Meets Avengers: The Newest Defender, Rava's Journey, Princess Of The Forest, Green Lantern Odette Dupree: First Flight, and The True Catwoman Of Gotham, are some of the best newest additions to my profile. If you're a fan of the Golden Compass and Watchmen which are the new series on HBO then you will love these. Then if you haven't saw them yet then I recommend that you check it out. Since there are still just recently uploaded I really would enjoy hearing other peoples thoughts on the subject matter so far. So feel free to do so if you have the time.
I have other grand news! I was a patron at New York Comic Con 2019! Ah! I'd been dying to go for years and now I had the opportunity. The Jokers from Impractical Jokers have been here along with Tom Hiddleston and so many others. Over those few days I actually got my picture taken with a couple of other actors/actresses and some really great panels. It really is so exciting there. This is an opportunity of a lifetime so there's no way in hell that I was going to waste a single second of it. No one ever should with something like this. Ever! ;D
For future preferences I highly recommend that you all keep an eye out for when tickets for New York Comic Con are available for purchase again for next year. This is a huge event and you should jump on it whenever you have the chance. Unfortunately this year it appears like Comic Con might be skipped not just in New York, but also in all it's regular places during the course of scheduled events. I think we all know the reason for it is plain as day.
The coronavirus.
Can't exactly blame with how dreadful things are getting in escalation and the fact that places like the Javits Center in New York have been temporarily converted into makeshift hospitals in order to deal with the overflow of people contracting infections from this rapidly spreading virus that might as well be called a plague at this point. Let's keep fingers crossed that an aim is to have this pass us before then so things can get back on track. If it is then New York Comic Con might be exactly what people need in order to lighten their spirits after all this darkness. Stay safe everyone and long to eventually see you there.
