DC: Genesis (First World: DC/Young Justice)

Adrian floated close to the divine being, an intense pressure encapsulating him, yet he didn't bow.

Adrian instinctively knew, he was in HIS presence, and acknowledged it with a respectful nod.

Adrian had always been a sickly child, watching the world pass by, through a hospital window. He had come to terms with his approaching demise at the mere age of ten. He died on his 15th birthday. It was a peaceful death

"Child, your suffering was not by a grand design, it just was", GOD remarked, "you arriving before me is not because of destiny or fate, it just is"

Adrian didn't completely understand, yet he nodded, because his comprehension mattered not

"Child, I wish to reincarnate you. You shall be born in a different world. You will be born a singularity", HE spoke, "you shall receive a second chance at life, should you desire it"

"What world?", Adrian asked, "and what is a singularity?"

"You will be a singular entity in the vast Omniverse. You will have no alternate versions of yourself. Being a singularity means being absolutely unique", HE informed, "it shall also prevent others from copying, replicating, negating, and cloning… you or your abilities"

A roulette wheel appeared into existence

"As for what world… we'll let Chaos decide"

The wheel spun, its pointer landing on some unknown worlds, and some worlds of fiction, he had read or watched before

TICK! TICK! TICK! TICK! the arrow landed on the plate that read, DC

"Congratulations", GOD waved the wheel away, and in its place appeared a smaller one

"Now Chaos shall decide the powers to bestow you with"

"How many?", Adrian asked

"Five" 

The wheel spun, landing on [Adaptive Development]

A scroll materialized

[Adaptive Development]: The user possesses a rapid development rate, allowing them to permanently push back their limits when continuously reaching them, whether physical, mental or supernatural

Understanding his gift, Adrian waited for the second spin to come to an end

[Divine Flames]

A scroll materialized 

[Divine Flames]: The user is capable of generating and manipulating flames that can burn absolutely anything. These flames have restorative properties as well, granting immense healing

As he read the description of his second spin, the wheel spun a third time

[Omniversal Travel]

The scroll was itched with the following description

[Omniversal Travel]: The user possesses the power to travel the vast Omniverse

The fourth spin landed on, [Personal Domain]

[Personal Domain]: The user has a personal domain: an area in which the user has absolute power. The domain's appearance will be a reflection of the user's soul. The domain will bestow the user with a supernatural ability

As he read do the scroll, the wheel spun for the last time

The final spin landed on, [Telepathy]

[Telepathy]: The power to interact with different aspects of the mind and manipulate thoughts

As Adrian read the final scroll, GOD asked, "Any questions?"

"Will [Adaptive Development] grant immortality?"

"No, but, you'll stop aging on your 25th birthday"

"Will I be born again?"

"No, you will regain consciousness in a ten year old corpse"

"How powerful will I be?"

"Initially, you will be as strong as a ten year old boy. You will encounter problems reading the surface thoughts of a single mind", GOD smirked, " Through continuous use and [Adaptive Development], you will observe a steep growth"

"How will [Personal Domain] grant me a supernatural ability?"

"Just like the Japanese media, 'Jujutsu Kaisen', you will gain a supernatural technique. You will utilize this technique through magical means and not cursed energy"

"Will I be able to travel the Omniverse whenever I want?"

"You'll have to master teleporting through space, time, dimensions and the multiverse, before attempting to travel the Omniverse…but, yes, you will be able to travel the Omniverse whenever you want"

"Do you have any expectations of me?"

"No, you have free will"

"Thank you GOD"

"You're welcome", HE smiled

Casually waving HIS hand, HE sent Adrian away, "Farewell,Child"

(CADMUS, FEBRUARY 2060)

In the depths of a depressing, abandoned laboratory, a life pod hisses open. Out walks a sickly boy with tangled blond hair and glowing gold eyes.

Adrian falls over, and vomits, "Reincarnation feels horrible"

He observes his thin fingers and wobbles up to his feet again. His knees and elbows creak, his mouth tastes of ash.

Making his way through the laboratory, and arriving at a large supercomputer, he starts to browse through seas of data.

———————

(BATCAVE, FEBRUARY 2060)

Wonder Woman stood next to Bruce, but not the original. She stood next to a clone of the man who first donned the Batsuit. A clone made by Amanda Waller, 'for the world will always need a Batman'

Batman analyzed the data on the bat-computer, "We'll attack the mothership tonight. It'll cost us, but we must save Superman. Without Conner Kent, we'll lose our war"

Turning around to stare at a frowning Red Robin, an observant Wonder Woman, a four armed Red Tornado, a disfigured Dick Grayson, a thoughtful Oliver Queen, a demonic Constantine, an angry Damian Wayne, Firestorm 3000 (Clone of Firestorm), and a smiling Plastic Man, he spoke, "I've been awake for about a year. I am his genetic copy and I have all his memories, but I am not him. I'm inexperienced, I've my own hopes and desires,…my own plans"

Everyone stood silent, "This apocalyptic world needs a determined Batman. Not a Batman who stands for vengeance, but one who fights for hope. I am that Batman. I'm aware that many of you are tired, broken and without a reason to fight… but we move today to make a large stand, an important stand"

"You're definitely not my father", Dick Grayson smiled, "He would've never made such an edgy speech"

Morals raised the team readied themselves. Oliver Queen made his way towards the back of the Batcave, to kiss his wife goodbye.

Around a large table sat the benched superheroes. Ones that had just arrived from a separate mission

Reaching his pregnant wife, and kissing her forehead, he observed the people next to her. A grieving Zatanna, a bored Poison Ivy, a laughing Harley Quinn, an impatient Wally West, a one armed Artemis, Starfire busy eating pizza, and a scarred Lois Lane

"So, what's the Brady Bunch up to?", he joked, "No Goobyes?"

The question caught their attention

"Good luck", his wife whispered, squeezing his hand in hers, "come back to me. We'll be waiting", she rubbed her belly

"I should be coming with you", Wally complained, "you'll need a speedster"

"We're Team Delta, Flash", Starfire said, "we're responsible for rescuing earthlings from disasters and providing them with food, water and shelter. Team Alpha is the one fighting the invasion"

"He's aware", Zatanna smirked, "he wishes for a scarier fight"

"Well, he's staying here with me", Artemis pinched Wally, "no arguments"

"Do you need bombs, laugh toxins?", Harley enthusiastically asked, " a mixtape?"

"No thank you, Quinn"

Oliver traced Dinah's features once more. He memorized the shape of her face and the trace of her smile. He loved her laugh. Oliver knew that going on this mission, might result in his death, but he vowed to fight tooth and nail to come back alive. To be there for his child's birth
