Chapter 1 - The Battle Begins
Pain pierced my heart every time I recalled the tragic losses of hundreds of life's and how I stood among the most powerful humans alive ever to embrace the battlefield and face death. But all the power in the world could not have stopped the creature which tore apart our heroes one by one, all I could hear where bones breaking and the silent screams of the men and woman who lost there life's. The pain lingered through my bones as bullets crackled when hitting their victims skulls and the sound of bombs dismembering the dead made me sick to my stomach. As I, Diana amazons princess warrior turned around for the last time.
I saw the massacred bodies of both friend and foe.
I saw what we left behind. Superman being dragged away from the wreckage covered in blood still grasping to the lifeless body of Lois lane once a close colleague or maybe more who's heart lay upon the broken glass shattered on the ground only a few metres from her body, Batman stood blood dripping like ice from the gashes on his neck which he inflicted saving me from artillery from my own warriors. His eyes like glass stared at mine from across the battlefield which remained filled with massacred bodies which lay beneath us, as he walked closer to me I heard the bones of both friends and foe crackle which chilled me to the bone.
He wrapped me up in his bloodied cape, almost carrying me away from our god-like war which raged on. In all my years I have been blessed in this world I had never witnessed such a war as this not even the gods of Olympus could have created such chaos. I still could not take my eyes away from the fires of hell which scorched the dead as they lay defenceless then batman panting heavily slipped his cold ice like hand around my face pulling it down and said
"promise me you won't look back whatever you do" I grabbed his hands tightly hoping this would give him some reassurance which he so desperately desired which made his heart ease only slightly. As I tried to block out the sound of the world being destroyed around me I heard a rather faint but out of place sound, not crying or screams but laughter. Yes it was laughter. My emotions or fear and pain quickly turned to anger as I tried to shift my head to where the sound was coming from. I saw a tall man standing twirling with laughter, his face scarred from cheek to cheek, makeup dripping from the sweat which consumed his face and the stained revolting suit where a pink flower sits on his jacket pocket.
Joker. His smile destroyed my very essence but as I tried to pull away from batman to kill the man who had single handily slaughtered so many people, I realised even if I escaped the powerful grip of batman the paralyzing pain which rushed through my body would not allow me to fight on even though I tried to not thinking of what the consequences might be. As batman dragged my from the fight through Gotham's deserted streets with superman closely behind us dragging his feet as he walked. We came to an old sewer where batman quickly lifted the lid and said looking into both our eyes
"its safe I promise you, trust me" I hesitated only for a second before batman grabbed my hands tightly staring into my eyes and took a breath before saying almost in a whisper
"take care of Diane for me Clark" still staring at me I became in shock unable to speak for a short moment. the sounds of artillery was getting closer and smoke filled the air.
" no you cant leave" I detested but he just smirked like the billionaire playboy he was and not the bat I knew which stood facing me. As batman began to descend into the mist I knew if I was going to do anything it was now. Adrenalin rushed through my body as I pushed Clark down the sewer regretting my actions slightly but not enough to care. I grabbed Bruce who disoriented said
"what are yo......" I cut him off sharply by saying
" I've lost so much and I cant lose you to" I quickly wrapped my arms round him and pulled him down the sewer. I expected to hit the bottom of the tunnel almost instantly yet we came falling and falling until we hit a small concrete floor Clark lying a few metres away crawling his way up the wall. In front of us stood a small door which Bruce still holding me up kicked through.
We are here!!! I heard from behind us barely able to stand. We were taken underground into some kind of bunker were a tall slender man stood. The dim light only showing half of his face which was enough for me to be able to identify him, it was ALFRED!!! although I felt like falling to the cold surface of the floor I was held up by both Bruce and .... I looked to my other side to see SUPERMAN !! In the dim view his injuries became more serious than i first thought as his eyes began to roll to the back of his head. His hands covered in litres of blood.
"someone do something" I screamed
"Alfred take Clark to the infirmary I will attend to Diana" Bruce said so calmly
"But master Wayne your wounds" he gasped"
"Just go " Alfred quickly moved Clark and took him to what I presume was the infirmary room
I was barely awake as I felt the stream of blood from Bruce's neck drip to my chest as he picked me up and lay me on a small black leather chair which stood aimlessly in the corner of this ...... I didn't really know what to call it but as I was placed on the chair I was able to stable me head long enough to be confronted with the injuries which Bruce had inflicted. As I analysed the wounds which covered Bruce's body he caught my eye and what I was doing but instead of saying something I realised he was doing the same thing as me except the look in his face was filled with pain and anger. He look once more before he discreetly changed and looked in the opposite direction.
He stood staring into darkness. I new then his heart was breaking but never expected what I was about to hear.
"Bruce" I whispered as I approached him. forgetting of the injuries had sustained myself.
He remained hypnotised with the darkness lurking in the corner. I placed my hand so gently on his shoulder as he swivelled round, his eyes deep and dark like tunnels stared into mine as I did into his then his head dropped to my shoulder and he began to wrapped his arms around my body so tightly, I was barely able to inhale what oxygen remained in the air.
Then I felt a tear slide down my back. I heard him almost breath out the words " I ..... Ahh. His body fell lifelessly to the floor as Alfred rushed in. I tried to catch his body from hitting the floor but was only able to sustain any pain to his head. As I placed my hand across his chest I felt the blood seep between my fingers, water resurfaced my eyes. Bruce's eyes remained awake as Alfred lay him on the cold floor to seal up his wounds. the desperation and pain seeped through his eyes. His eyes locked on mine as a small tear fell to his cheek.
" why are you crying I'm fi...ahhh" I held his hand tighter.
"your going to be fine " pleading and almost crying .He pulled me closer and whispered
"as long as your here with me" and kissed me on the forehead. As I smiled and stared intently at him a pain surged up my spine blurring my vision and all i felt was an excruciating pain that knocked me to the ground. All I could remember was both Bruce and Alfred shout
"Diane, Diane please Diane"
I awoke a few hours later to find Bruce lying half naked wearing black sweatpants and topless only showing his bandaged chest stained with blood splatter on his chair unconscious. I steadied myself as I rose to my feet and ripped the once red cape I wore with pride from my neck and covered Bruce as the air carried the cold ice of the winter which was on the arising.
SNAP!! I swivelled round ready to grab the nearest weapon in my reach and was startled to see Clark almost crawling from the infirmary room, his face showing were he had wiped the floods of tear away holding a broken weapon which I could not recognize, he stood silent in the darkened doorway. I knew his facial expression all too well, Bruce, Alfred me. We all had lost out loved ones and I wanted tell him that everything was going to be ok but it wasn't and I couldn't lie to him and evoke emotions that didn't even exist in my own mind !!
As Clark came closer he seemed less terrifying and more lost but as he stared at Bruce with stern eyes I immediately by a warriors instinct stood in front of Bruce ready to protect him at any means necessary as he lay in the most vulnerable way possible. Thinking he was going into attack mode I prepared for any means of attack although open wounds remained covering my bloodied arms and legs but instead he fell to his feet and screamed WHY? The man of steel had fallen as did our dark knight too. the world looked almost destined to engulf itself with the greed and corruption which had spread across the globe.
Only time could tell if we were ever going survive but as I gazed upon the two men which I loved unconditionally the most in this world I knew then I was going to fight as the gods be my witness I was not giving up and was prepared to fight until the death for them and their protection but also for the remains of humanity left after all we were humanities remaining warriors. Until I heard footsteps getting closer and closer as if. Behind the door. Clark quickly assembled himself as did Bruce who's deceptive appearance of sleeping did seem slightly unreasonable at the time. As both stood at my sides the small silver in-crusted door handle began to turn but the door did not open then the rattling stopped only for second before the rattling got louder then all of a sudden a hand slid through the door almost like, it couldn't be. As the beings shape reshaped into its true form my heart sank as the being was revealed to be .....
John ??? "oh thank the gods you are ok" I gasped
I ran almost pouncing on John but as I seen what remained behind him a drip of blood knocked me back into the darkness of the reality which remained our home.
Just behind john lay green arrow crouched in an excruciatingly painful position holding his entire world 'Black Canary'.
"Please help her" green arrow shouted in desperation. Quickly both john and Clark grabbed both canary and green arrow rushing them both to the infirmary where only limited resources remained. As everyone swooshed past me like I was non existing I joining green arrow grabbed canaries cold hand tightly along with green arrow. As I seen them confess their dying love for each other and promising their hopes and dreams my heart broke apart. the very sight of the Romeo and Juliet retake was beyond belief for me that two people could love each other so much knowing that one of them would have to witness the others depart from the world.
I still remained holding her hand until the most peculiar thing happened. I held her hand and placed one of my hands near the wounds which was just beside her abdominal area when all of a sudden a surge of an indescribable feeling surged through my hands I quickly pulled away.
Canary knowing I had felt what she felt gave me a look which was not anger or pain but sadness.
