Chapter 15: Epilogue
Aboard Monitor Station…
Harbinger, the blonde-haired assistant to the Monitor and keeper of histories past and future, was checking up on a guest they had received some time ago; Donna Troy, the Titans Tomorrow heroine Wonder Woman. Though not much of an actual heroine, Donna had been brought to the Monitor Station shortly before she herself succumbed to the hordes of Black Lanterns that consumed her world. All alone, Donna would sometimes sit in solitude in her room, meditating over her blade. Sometimes, she would leave and train by herself, talking very little to Harbinger. (1)
Though years passed on the outside worlds, it did not feel as though time passed at all here on Monitor Station. Donna still remembered the events like they were yesterday, and, for all she knew, it may have just happened yesterday. The raven haired princess stared at herself in the mirror, wondering where to go. Harbinger tried to befriend Donna on multiple occasions, but, Donna was unresponsive in the advances of friendship.
Until now.
Harbinger tried to open the door to Donna's room, but it was sealed shut. As the blonde historian tried to override the code, the door slid open suddenly and Donna stepped out. She was no longer in her armor, but, instead sported a white shirt that was cut at the mid-riff, exposing her stomach, long tight jeans, a short red jacket, high heeled boots in red, and the sword was on her back. Her black hair was cut shorter, and she tilted her head slightly,
"Is there something wrong, Harbinger?"
Her voice seemed chilling, and Harbinger, for a brief moment, could not think of a thing to say. Then, she said,
"Donna, I was wondering if you wanted to talk and-."
Donna interrupted,
"We have nothing to discuss. But, I do need something of you."
She straightened, trying to use her height as a way of intimidation,
"Tell me where Leon is."
Harbinger explained,
"He is in the new world, but you cannot just go-."
Suddenly, with surprising quickness, Donna grabbed Harbinger by the neck and said sternly,
"Transport me to that world now."
It was then that Monitor's voice echoed,
"Release her now!"
Donna turned, but was instantly thrown by an energy projectile. Harbinger clutched her throat, rubbing it and regaining her breath. Donna was leveled into a wall.
But, it was only for a moment. The former Amazon princess' eyes opened, glowing a haunting red. She sped away, faster than Harbinger and Monitor could follow. As the two beings tried to capture her, Donna hit a series of buttons, and, in a moment, blinked in a bright light. To add insult to injury, she blew Harbinger a kiss as she disappeared.
Monitor quickly scanned the coordinates and looked on in horror,
"No. She has not done this."
Harbinger looked at the coordinates and was equally horrified,
"She has disappeared into the new Earth Crisis has relocated to. But, why?"
As Monitor contemplated the implications that this might have, Harbinger returned to Donna's room and, as she searched it, the blonde cosmic librarian happened upon one of Leon's journal's he had kept during his stay on the station. In it was his hand-writing, but, as she flipped through the pages, she saw Donna's handwriting in Greek. A quick translation revealed the following;
I do not know how long it has been, but as I have stayed here, for however long, I happened upon this journal. This man, this…Crisis, is troubled. Disturbed, even, but I can see why Farrah had fallen for him once. Despite his demeanor, which is a combination of foolhardiness mixed with brute force, he does so for the right reason. He cared for his Farrah, as which did I at one point. Though I know now that the Farrah I knew was not the same as the one he does, it burns me that a man was so betrayed by her. And, for that reason, I waited for him, hoping he would return. But, he has not. I must find him. I must find him for myself…and damned the gods for anyone getting in my way.
Harbinger shook her head,
"By the cosmos; she has fallen in love with him."
"Harbinger!"
Monitor's voice shouted and, as Harbinger teleported back to Monitor, the cosmic being said,
"Donna has deactivated the signal I shared with Crisis."
Harbinger said,
"Then, he does not know she is coming."
Monitor closed his eyes and let out a sigh,
"I only pray that whatever happens, Crisis is able to overcome it. His role has yet to be fulfilled in that world."
