A bad dream...

That night, as slept under comfy sheets and holding a warm, soft body, your mind introduced a scenario: over the years you've been amongst other heroes, you've gotten a bit taller and physically stronger. But that isn't to say that your powers haven't grown as well. In your prime, you were called upon a mission to take out the worst enemy the Justice League has ever faced... Naturally, you thought it was Darkseid, so you agreed.

Upon reaching his palace on his home, having ran through space as fast as Flash on a path of your teleportation constructs, you found it in ruins, but not the village... You ask a villager or two about what happened, but you seemed to have spooked them, for they ran hiding into their houses. Confused, you look around the place some more. Before too long, you found the corpse... of Darkseid! His huge hands were placed on his chest, and there was a narrow carving in his head, in the shape of an isosceles triangle. It was sickening to look at!

More determined than ever, you head for the palace. You use your fine-tuned teleportation tools to carve a path through the many locked doors. When you reach the throne room, there was a burly character sitting on the throne. Completely covered in familiar blue medieval armor from head to toe, he was surrounded by ex-members of the League. All females! Most stared at you crossly when you entered, but one or two just kept rubbing their hands on the body of said conqueror of Apokolips.

'Still alive?' he taunted. 'Still a hero? I outgrew that profession years ago, and the immortal perks never bore me...' The women all rubbed their hands on the guy's armor, adoring him. Supergirl behind him smirked at you before taking off the conqueror's helmet. You watched in suspense, only to look on in horror when the secret came out...

You were the conqueror! Being sadistic and laughing cruelly at your confusion as you shake your head in denial. His laughter got louder and crueler, if possible, filling the entire room.

You awoke with a start, panting hard and sweating a bit. Zatanna slowly woke up too from your noises, sat up, and held the covers to her breasts. "Shad, what's wrong?" she asked softly.

"Bad dream," you sigh, holding your face in one hand. She smiles sympathetically and kisses your shoulder.

"Poor baby..." You smile at her and leaned down a bit to kiss her forehead in return. She happily looks up at you, and you share a gentle kiss before you were interrupted by your communicator beeping.

"Shadow, report to the bridge. A new mission awaits you."

"On my way, J'onn," you reply. As you get dressed, Zee gives you a sneak peek of 'coming attractions'. "Come back soon, sorcerer..." You saw them, smirked and nodded at her. You finished suiting up and disappear out of her sight.
