The One

Why are we here?

Hope's pov
It has been so many years since I left. Too long for me to remember anymore. I stayed young but time did not. After conquering the universe, I became Darkseid's right hand. I became his general. I lost my humanity. I lost sense of who I was. I try holding on to what I have left. My memories. My life. Everything. I hid it. With everything I've gone through. Killing. Torturing. Taking. I became something I didn't want to be. A monster.

I stare onto the endless void of space thinking does it ever end? Someone enters my room. "Master is looking for you." he said and I nod. I walk towards the control center where he is seated in the middle. I bow. "We are headed to Earth?" he says. "What? You said we would not be returning there." I say. "That was years ago. I've grown bored of this place. I thought we'd head back. Don't worry. We wont conquer it. I just thought to see the people of Earth. You will do as I say and if you do, all of Earth's people would not suffer." he says. I just stare at him. He just wants to see me suffer knowing I can't face my family ever again. That he's all I could have now. "Leave." he orders and I do. I head back to my room and just sit.

We arrive at Earth and I look out the window. I've missed it. As much as I try to avoid feeling it. I do. "Try to do anything wrong, they all pay." O hear Darkseid say behind me. I look over my shoulder and say "Don't worry. I've learned my lesson." I say as I stare at Earth again. I then play in my head what happened years ago.

-flashback-
"Come on. I'll get you out of here." I say to the girl who was imprisoned. "He'll see you!" she says. "Just let me help you!" I answer back and finally she lets me.

We are almost out. We head straight to the exit when someone blocks us. We turn around but there were more of them. Then he comes into view. I put my arms protectively in front of the girl. "No." I say. "Please let her go." I say. "You never learn do you." he says the he motions to the guards to separate us. I fight them off but it there were to many of them. I get on my knees and face the girl. "No. Please. Haven't I done enough for you?! Killed enough?!" I shout at him. "It will never matter because you are money to command . You do as I say." he then points a gun at the head of the girl and shoots. "NO!" I shout but it was useless as she was dead. They then let go of me. I just kneel there looking g at the lifeless body. "Do that again and things will be much worse for you." he says.

Guards then take me to a room full of kryptonite. I lay there in the floor. Crying. I then realize I will never get away from him. I will always be something he will use. His weapon.

-end of flashback-

We touch down at a snowy out of reach from anyone in Earth Prime. No one could know about our ship because of its technology that can keep us hidden. I sneak out and fly away for a bit to see my family. If they are happy. They cannot know that I am here. Cannot know what I've become.  I wear sweatpants and a plain blue shirt with a jacket. I also wear a black hat.

I see them one by one. They have not changed much.
I see mom. I watch her from a far. She's with Aunt Alex. "Oliver misses you, you know? He never gets to see you much." I hear Aunt Alex say. "I know. I also do. It's just so hard to be around him. When I'm around him, I tru not to cry. It's been so hard for the both of us since she left. I know he's trying very hard to be strong for the both of us but I'm just not as strong as him." I hear mom says as I watch them. "You just miss her. We all do. Maybe you need to talk to him. So you both can go through it. Together." Aunt Alex says. I just stare. "I miss her so much." mom says and that was it. I just left. I want to hug her and tell her "I miss you too." but I can't.

I see dad next who was sleeping. He then wakes up and I super speed out of there.

I travel to Earth 13 to see my family. I've gotten stronger with my powers too. With it, I can travel from one universe to another.

I go to Nashville and I use my x-ray vision to see where my family is. They are at the movie room. I then see someone at my old room. It was Mia. I just watch her. How I've missed them. She looked older. She then sees me. "Shit." i say. I then leave.

I then fly over to London to see George. I'm thinking he found someone else. It's been too long already. I don't know how long for them but it was for me. Maybe he moved on. But I just want to see him.

I head to the palace but he wasn't there. I see his family though. It was late and they were at the living room of the palace. I listen to them. "Where's George?" Louis asks. "He's at the pub with friends." Charlotte answers. "He should be back. It's late already." Queen Katherine says. "Give him time. He needs time to process things." the Kind says.

I then walk to the pub and stare at George through the window. He was with some friends. I see a girl hug him. Thinking he did move on. It's years already. Why do I still feel this things. Things I have not felt in so many years. He seems to be leaving but then he turns his head looking at me. "Hope?" I read his mouth say. He runs outside and I leave. I watch him look around from the corner of an alley. "I mist be going crazy." I hear him say. I want to run up to him and hug him. Say "No you are not. I'm here, my love." to him. But instead, I watch him walk away.

This was a mistake. I should have just stayed at the fucking ship. Why am I here? He just wants to see me suffer. Want me to see that I can never go back. I could never kill him because he's all I have left. Even if he's evil. He treated me right.

I return to base and he was waiting for me. "Liked what you see?" he says smirkingly. "Why are you doing this to me? Isn't it enough seeing me suffer?" I say. "Oh. I thought this would be a gift to you for all your hard works. Liked it? I thought we should stay here longer." he says smiling. I then head to my quarters.
