~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It all started on an ordinary day. She had been shopping at the mall with Grandmother when it happened. As they were walking out of the mall into the parking lot, Nicole froze. Her vision had suddenly blurred and everything was just a swirl of colors. Then, just as suddenly, the world around her began to spin. She tired to call out for help but her voice was frozen, as if in a dream. As the world around spun and the colors blended and changed, she could hear the echoing voice of her Grandmother calling.
"Nichole! Where are you? Nichole!"
Slowly, her vision cleared and the spinning stopped, but so did Grandma's voice. Nichole looked around. Grandma was nowhere to be found. In fact, the mall had disappeared! Her whole surroundings were different.
She stood on the sidewalk of a dangerous looking part of town. The buildings looked old; some were boarded up. Most of them held the unwelcome 'closed' sign, for it was suddenly much later then it had been. Nichole began to wander the streets, looking for any sign of where she was or of her Grandmother.
After walking for a little while, Nichole noticed a car to the left of her that seemed to be following her. The driver must have become aware that she has noticed, for he spoke.
"You look lost? Need a lift?" Nichole took a quick glance at the stranger. He had a kind face. He didn't look very strong and had a disarming smile. He seemed harmless enough but Nichole was untrusting and scared.
"Leave me alone." Nichole continued to walk. The man continued to follow her.
"Are you sure? The streets aren't exactly safe this time of night, especially for a girl all alone like you."
"Go away."
Just then, Nichole saw a group of big, tough looking men ahead. It appeared to be a gang. Nichole quickly turned around to go the other way, only to find a group of thugs ahead of her. She stood where she was, uncertain of what to do next. The man in the car opened the passenger's door.
"Get in. Unless you want to meet them," He nodded to the gang behind her. "Or them." He motioned to the thugs ahead of her. Nichole stared. She thought quickly, adding up her options, several scenarios running through her mind. Finally, she got in the car. They drove off, away from the gang and thugs.
The stranger held out one hand. "Hi! The name's Carmichael." Nichole shook his hand.
"Nichole." she murmured. "Drop me off at the nearest police station."
"You're lost, aren't you?" Nichole just glared at him. "I mean, what would a girl like you be doing wandering the streets of Gothom?"
Nichole looked at him in shock. Gothom? There was no way this could be.....
"I knew it!" He said with a freaky smile. Nichole looked at him, then up at the sky through the window. First, she saw the bat signal and her eyes widened in disbelief. Then she saw the figure of what appeared to be Superman, flying in the air. This was too much for her all at once; she fainted. The last words she heard were that of the man driving next to her.
"I saw you come in."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nichole woke up with a moan. What had happened? Her whole body ached. Slowly she opened her eyes. There she saw Carmichael, pacing the alley way, back and forth. He looked over at her.
"Good. Good. You're awake." He mumbled crazily. "You've got to listen to me!" He grabbed her shoulders. She winced in pain.
He began to talk to her, franticly unfolding a story her mind refused to believe. Soon she was thrown back into the backseat car. Carmichael jumped into the driver's seat. "Understand? You've got to stop them! You've got to stop them!" The man pulled out a gun as he began to drive. Nichole whimpered in fear. "You've got to get help...." He stopped the car and kicked the door open. "Get out!" He screamed, struggling with the gun. Nichole quickly got out. The car drove away.
Nichole stood there on the sidewalk, suppressing the urge to burst into tears. She knew she needed help. She walked into the building behind her. It was a hotel. She walked up to the counter.
"May I help you?" All Nichole could do was nod. "Oh, you must be Konya, right?" Once again, Nichole nodded, this time in surprise. "There's a suite ready for you."
Nichole allowed herself to be led to the suite, wondering the whole time how they had got her name and why she had a suite. She entered the suite, tipped the bellman and sat on the bed. Once she had gotten her head together, she decided to call 911. She picked up the phone.
"Put it down." A voice from the corner said. Nichole looked up. In the corner of the room was a dark looking creature. It had the shape of a human, cloaked in dark, with flaming red eyes floating in the dark form. Nichole quickly put the phone down.
"Wh-what do you want?" Nichole managed to stammer out.
"I believe you know what I want." Nichole looked at the thing in horror. What the man said....it couldn't be true....
"Please, don't hurt me."
"I'm afraid that's unavoidable."
Just then, another dark figure crashed in through the window knocking down the creature. They began to fight. The man who crashed through the window picked up the creature and swung him around the room. The creature grabbed the man's hands, which held the creature's leg, and amazingly flipped itself out of his grip. Then the creature grabbed Nichole, who had been in a corner watching the fight in a shocked state. It tried to take her away. The man threw a bat-shaped boomerang at the creature which wrapped a string around its legs; causing it to fall, dropping Nichole, who bumped her head on the night table, knocking her out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nichole awoke in a weird looking room. The walls were a metal and the room was small. It had a bed, and table. The door was open but Nichole couldn't tell what was beyond the room. She squinted her eyes to try and see out of the door. She saw a woman walk by, then turn into the room.
"You're awake, little sister."
"Where am I?"
"Justice League Headquarters."
"What?"
"Yes. I'm going to get the others. I'm sure they'll want to speak with you."
"Please. Don't leave me alone."
"Ok." Wonder Woman went to the entrance of the room and called the Justice League. "They should be coming, okay?" Nichole nodded.
Soon the rest of the Justice League arrived in the little room.
Superman was the first to speak. "What's your name?" Nichole looked confused. She tried desperately to remember anything. Especially, why she was so scared.
"Nicole. Nicole Konya."
"Where do you live?"
"I, I can't remember. A blue house, in Rhode Island.... Who are you?"
Superman smiled. "I'm Superman. That's Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, J'onn J'onzz, Hawk Girl, Batman and Flash. We're the Justice League."
"The Justice League? Isn't that a cartoon?" The Justice League looked at one another, confused looks on their faces. "Yeah." she said with more confidence. "You're Clark Kent, He's Bruce Wayne, you're Dianna, you're John Stuart, and you're Wally West."
"How did you know that?"
"I used to watch the cartoon all the time." Superman looked at the others, obviously speechless. It was then that he noticed something, Flash was missing. Superman nodded for Batman to take over then stepped out of the room. There he saw Flash sitting on the ground just outside the door, his head in his hands.
"What's wrong?"
"I know her."
Enjoy!
