Please go easy, remember, this is my first Black Lightning story.
Jefferson Pierce was getting concerned. His daughter Jennifer had been missing for nearly a week and at this point, he was considering suiting up as Black Lightning to find her when suddenly there was a knock on the door of his house.
"Hold on a second." Jefferson called out as he moved to open the door to find a stranger waiting for him.
"Can I help you?" Jefferson asked.
"My name is Hank Henshaw, I'm with the FBI, I'm following up on the missing person's report you submitted for your daughter Jennifer." Hank said.
"I wasn't aware that it had been bumped up to a federal case. Is everything okay?" Jefferson asked.
"Let me come in and I'll tell you everything I know." Hank said and Jefferson nodded as he showed the man in.
"But before we talk, first, I need to do this." Hank said and before Jefferson could ask what he meant, Hank placed his hand on his temple and his eyes glowed red as suddenly, he got a killer headache before it died down and then he remembered who this man really was.
"What the hell did you just do to me J'onn?" Jefferson asked.
"I reminded you of how things were. There's a lot that you need to be brought up to speed on." J'onn said.
"So catch me up." Jefferson said as he signaled to the living room.
"So, what you're saying is that our worlds somehow fused together into this one when you and those other para whatevers, restarted the universe?" Jefferson asked after J'onn finished explaining things.
"Paragons, but yes, essentially. This earth appears to exist 8 years in the past. I'm guessing it's because it's when Oliver Queen started his crusade and as such, the age of heroes with it, since he's the one who lit the spark to give birth to this new universe.
"You know, I really wish I could say this was a bunch of bull, but I know that you're telling me the truth." Jefferson said.
"Jefferson, I am here because I have been going from city to city, restoring the memories of our compatriots who aren't paragons, so while I'm here in Freeland, is there anyone else you'd like to have remember?" J'onn asked.
"There's a few people. But first, I need to figure out what happened to my daughter Jen. In this universe and the old one." Jefferson said, right as they both heard electricity crackle upstairs.
"What's that?" J'onn asked.
"I don't know, but let's go find out." Jefferson said as they rushed upstairs to find Jennifer on the floor, dressed in her lightning suit.
"Jen." Jefferson said as he rushed up to his daughter.
"Dad, what happened? How did I get back here?" Jen asked as she looked around.
"Jen, calm down, it's a long story." Jefferson said.
"I think I can help speed it up." J'onn said as he placed his hand on Jen's temple and his eyes glowed, again and Jen began to calm down.
"What did you do?" Jefferson asked.
"I answered her questions." J'onn said.
"Dad you know Superman?" Jen asked and Jefferson chuckled.
"Of course that's what she focuses on first." Jefferson said.
"I'm sorry but I need something to focus on to keep myself from freaking out over everything else I now know." Jen said.
"That's fair. But anyways, change out of that thing and then we're heading to Gambi's, I want J'onn here to restore his memories." Jefferson said and Jen nodded, since technically, the suit she was wearing had never been created in this new reality, so really, she was nervous it might disappear while she was wearing it and that would be awkward if she was in public when it did.
After Jen got changed, she, Jefferson and J'onn headed towards Gambi's tailor shop.
"Nice place." J'onn said as he entered it.
"Thank you. Jefferson, who's this?" Gambi asked as he walked out of the back.
"This is J'onn J'onzz." Jefferson said.
"That's an unusual name." Gambi said.
"Well, I'm not from around here." J'onn said as he quickly walked up to Gambi and restored his memories.
"Wow, that was a rush." Gambi said.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Jefferson asked.
"Standing in Anissa's loft with her and Lynn as you and Jen had both disappeared as that wave of energy came by." Gambi said.
"That was a wave of antimatter. It destroyed your old earth. But my friends and I created this new one, which fused your earth, my earth and at least one other earth together." J'onn explained.
"Wow. And how do you two know this?" Gambi asked Jefferson and Jen.
"When I disappeared, it was because this Pariah character brought me to where the energy wave was coming from and I tried to help them stop it. J'onn restored my memories earlier today." Jefferson said.
"And my powers sent me into my safe space. Not sure how." Jen said.
"We'll have to figure that out." Gambi said.
"Is there anyone else who's minds you want me to restore?" J'onn asked.
"Mom and Anissa. We shouldn't keep them in the dark, especially if the ASA comes knocking again." Jen said and Jefferson nodded.
"My other daughter and my ex-wife. They are my team right now. They need to know the truth." Jefferson said and J'onn nodded in agreement.
"In the meantime, I'm going to start working on your suits, since Jeff, I saw how the ASA constructed your suit watch and I can recreate it for all three of you." Gambi said and Jefferson and Jen both nodded.
"I'll call Mom and Anissa, tell them to come here." Jen said as she pulled out her phone.
"Let me do that. I'm guessing because you were in your safe space, in this universe, you've been missing for a week." Jefferson said and Jen nodded.
