44 A storm is brewing
-Lucas Pov -
I stood in my backyard once more, my face seemed to be in a permanent blank state, I couldn't even smile. My brother of whom I truly do care about is acting like an idiot. So I screwed over Walter, he was a nice guy, but I just didn't like him. something about him grated my nerves.
It was an asshole move on my part.
I know that, but he is unreasonably mad at me.
But, I had to put these thoughts aside, something was going terribly wrong in the world, power outages keep happening and there is no indication of why. Not only that but what disturbs me the most, what makes me question if this world is I'm danger is the fact that the flash just showed up and prevented a bank robbery.
He was barely in a coma, he shouldn't have woken up so soon.
"Sir, we have to go to the debate," Dembe said to me
What is happening?
-Barry Allen Pov -
I woke from my coma not long ago, it feels weird to even think of anything that is happening right now as normal.
Wells and the team are helping me get used to this whole speedster business but, I haven't told them everything.
When I woke up from my coma my whole body was basically screaming at me to run; run far away from Central city.
It was like I was getting warned of danger approaching. Whatever it was I need to get stronger, faster, and smarter.
These powers are a gift, one I won't squander.
-Batman/ Bruce Wayne pov -
I sat in the bat cave, speedily typing trying to find the cause of the frequent power outages. Once was normal, twice not so much, but three times is concerning. Thus I came to the conclusion that these power outages aren't natural, something, or rather someone is causing them.
Reluctantly I contacted Superman and Wonder Woman to find out if they knew anything but, all I got were more questions.
Azreal has also been quiet only active rarely, I wonder if he has something to do with these power outages?
-Superman/ Clark Kent pov -
I scanned my city once more with my x-ray vision, but still, nothing came up. The power went out once more and yet I still can't figure out why this is happening, it's not only here but everywhere in the world is experiencing this phenomenon.
I have pursued every avenue, every lead, and every tip yet nothing has come up.
I looked off into the sky, I felt uneasy.
A storm is brewing.
-narrator pov -
In the underground bunker, the cause of the power outages was pulsing slowly and rhythmically like a heart.
As the pulses began to pick up speed the energy being released increased as did the range of the impact the energy caused.
*badump*
*badump*
*BADUmp*
*BADUMp*
*BADUMP*
*shingggWOOSH* the cacoon of energy suddenly split revealing a slit, the slit seemed to be a portal leading to somewhere not of this planet
*BOOM!* what seemed to be a leg and a foot stepped out of the portal
A hulking white figure walked out of the portal, followed by many more.
-Lucas's pov -
I got out of my car Dembe following close behind, as I entered the debate venue I spotted someone entering the bathroom. He was an older gentleman but his appearance gave me a start.
"Please excuse me, gentleman," I said to the men I was talking to about my run for mayor
I calmly made my way to the bathroom occasionally stopping to talk to some important figures.
Finally, I made it to the bathroom, entering I locked the door behind me. I could only since the man I came to see.
"Lucas," his voice broke me from my speculation of why he would appear here
"Slade," I replied calmly walking toward him
He walked toward me; both of our faces were impassive.
I moved my right hand forward as did he, we clasped hands and brought ourselves into a small hug.
"You know from that call I figured you would have been here earlier," I said with a small chuckle
"I like to give ample warning," he replied with a small smirk
"So, what brings you to my debate?" I asked cutting to the chase, I do have to get out on stage soon
He scoffed, "don't worry I'm not going to start anything here, just introduce myself," his grin turned into an evil smirk
I began to leave just as I opened the door I said, "good luck, and remember don't fuck with the people I protect,"
As I exited the bathroom I made eye contact with Dembe, and we both then headed for the stage. It was finally time to debate my own mother.
-break-
As the debate went on both Moira and I were beginning to feel the struggle of keeping our answers pleasant and respectful. She was definitely trying to rally the rich while I was going for the middle to lower-class citizens.
"... And with the revelation of Walter at the hands of my son I am even more motivated to bring our family name and city to the heights it once was," she paused for a moment our eyes made contact I could practically see her steeling her nerves for what she is about to say
"Do you really want a young man, fresh from an island to help build this city up? He might be my son but, his mind is addled by the affects of the island. Should he really lead?" she said and I instantly saw the look of anger flash on Oliver's face in the audience
It was mirroring my own.
She had no right to bring that up, I don't even live with the woman how can she proclaim my state if mind?
"What Moira fails to tell everyone is that I haven't lived with her since a month after I came back, what she also fails to mention is we barely talk. How can she even stand up here and tell you my state of mind is unwell? She a woman that fell for a man that damaged this city in a way no other has. She stands up here telling you all to trust her, why should you she can't even tell between a fake relationship and a sham," I cut her off voicing my thoughts
As she was about to reply a loud explosion was heard, *BOOOM!*
"Holy shit check DCO!" someone shouted in the audience standing up panic written all over his face
- Oliver pov -
I watched as my brother went on stage, he answered the questions perfectly, and he smiled a genuine smile every time he was dressed.
He looked so happy, so in his element. I even found myself smiling as he went on and on about budgeting for the city.
"He's good!" a familiar voice said next to me
I froze, slowly Thea and I turned our heads, and there sat Slade Wilson.
I schooled my features, "yes he is," I replied calmly hiding my surprise
"Is it bad I hope he beats my mom?" Thea asked jokingly
As Slade went to reply Moira brought up the island and flagrantly tried to bring down Lucas's character.
Anger spread across my face, I even saw Slade frowning.
As Lucas replied I didn't feel any better, she cut deep but he cut deeper.
Like he always did.
Just as mom was about to reply a loud explosion sounded, *BOOM!*
"Holy shit check DCO!" someone yelled
I pulled out my phone and did just that, what showed up on my screen made me freeze.
These white creatures were coming from the ground and someone got it with his phone.
