LUCID

In my time of dying.

Gotham had been taken over by Hades and his army, making the Titan's go in to hiding. The Wayne manor was vacant and as for Veronica, she disappeared. The moment Jason left her alone to look for a way to save her.

(SOMEWHERE IN THE ABYSS)

Veronica laid on the dark and cold floor, most would assumed she was dead, but she was part Goddess after all.

"Lucid, it's not your time. Wake up!" A voice echoed in the abyss, waking Veronica from her deep slumber.

She opened her eyes and all she felt was pain.

"Fuck.. " Veronica said as she put pressure on her wound.

She wondered why she wasn't dead, the dagger had made a number on her, making her loose a lot of blood

"My dear Lucid.." she heard the voice of a woman again. Making her stand up and follow it's echo.

She wondered why she wasn't dead, but knew that whoever said her real name would have answers.

"Mother?" Veronica stood still as she saw a women who's face was so familiar to her, even the word 'Mother' came out without a thought.

"My brave and strong child, the time has finally come." She spoke as she stood a few feet's away from Veronica.

VERONICA'S POV

Hades had stabbed me and I was all alone. Dying, now that's not a way I was imagining to go. But here I was, holding my abdomen in pain. I crawled and shouted for anyone and remember I was all alone in this abyss, no one could help me, not Rachel, nor Jason.

"Lucid.." I heard a voice call for me as I layed on the floor, bleeding to death.

I took the little strength I had until I came face to face with the woman calling my name. I hesitated for a bit until she turned to face me, the word 'mother' came out of my mouth without even thinking. I could feel the familiarity, as if she had been in my life forever.

"You've grown strong and beautiful." She said as a gentle smile formed on her face. I felt peace, for the first time in forever, I knew I was dead.

"You're not dead, at least not yet.." She answered as if she had read my mind.

I looked at her in confusion, I felt a relief hearing I wasn't dead, at least for now, which gave me hope to go back, to my friends and to Jason, for a moment there I thought I had forgotten them and that scared the hell out of me.

"Veronica, we don't have much time and you need to stop him.. you have the power to stop him." Her, my mother who stood in front of me, spoke, I could feel sadness and as if she was hiding something else from me. I was about to ask her what else was there to tell me, but she beat me to it.

"The time to know the truth has come.. and you must listen carefully." She spoke once again. What else was there to know, I had a bad feeling of what she would say next.

"Hades, he is your real father, he deceived me and made me believe he was good, that he loved me.." she continued, my heart sank as I heard her say such thing, how could such information be hidden from me, how could I have possibly been his daughter when I shot lightning, it wasn't making sense to me, all of this wasn't.

" I know it's a lot to take in, but you need to hear everything. This was all to keep you safe, Zeus came to me one night and told me Hades had been manipulating me, just so I could bare his child and he could use that child to destroy everything and kill all the God's, by that time it was too late to prevent it, I was pregnant with you."

All of her words started to make sense now, everything she said placed together the puzzle I've had in my head all my life. The dreams, the darkness I've felt inside of me, it was my powers trying to crawl out.

"Zeus hid me away and gifted you part of his powers the day you were born, he shielded away your true powers and he called you his own, which made Hades even furious, he said I had deceived him by being with Zeus. It was a relief because he never expected you to be his. I never told him even before he killed me." She stoped noticing I was still in disbelief, how could this be, I'm the daughter of a monster and I wish I'd never knew.

"Even if you are his daughter, you are nothing like him, Lucid." She spoke again, it was like she was reading my mind once again.

"Call me Veronica, I feel much better being called that, the whole Lucid thing is freaking me out." I spoke and she let out a laugh and placed both hands on my cheeks, it felt warm and it made me sad, she was just a soul passing by to say her last goodbye and I could feel that.

"I love you, always had, I've had the privilege to watch over you, but now I have to go." I could feel a tear running down my face, I hugged my mother for the last time.

"The dagger, is the only thing that can stop him.." she whispered in my ear before being left alone by myself in the abyss, with all this information, I couldn't help but feel a sudden sadness, it felt good seeing my mother, but the fact that I will never see her again made me feel horrible.

Now all I had to do was get out of this abyss I was in. "Come on Veronica, you're Hades's daughter, you can escape this." I said to myself as I closed my eyes and felt an immense amount of power come out of me and soon I was back, back in Gotham but now where I thought I would be.
