T H E   W A V E   O F  green energy finally gave way and right between his arms, a strange object had then materialized, glowing brightly with a green aura and that was when they saw it.   It's height was about six to seven inches with a width half of that. There were two transparent crystalline cups conjoined together; one facing upwards and the other downwards, both of them narrowing where they met. It gave the object a similar resemblance to that of an hourglass.   There was some eerie sort of green dust flowing inside of it, like the sand used in hourglasses except it was more mystical in its greenish airy color that made it appear almost fluid.   The three speedsters watched the object remain suspended between the god's arms.   "What is that?" asked Natasha.   "One of the three most powerful entities in the entire universe. The second Herald—the Okul

T W E L V E   M I N U T E S   E A R L I E R, back at North Atlanta High, the Principal had just decided not to call off the ceremony but instead declaring it as successful as the graduates had already been announced prior to the events that had followed.   Parents and their graduated kids had begun to clear from the school, all the while fascinated by the green sky.   Bianca Sinclair had followed her parents home after Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair had finally decided to commit to their daughter's needs, and she had been happy at how much attention they had been giving her over the past year, given their past lifestyle that included travelling around the world and missing out on a great deal of Bianca's school life.   Marcus and Carmen had been ordered by their parents to follow suit and had had no choice but to reluctantly obey, same case with Henry, especially after a similar incident had happened two years

She walked until she was less than a foot away from where the god hovered and that was when she finally turned to the others. "It's our only hope," her voice was so soft it was almost like a whisper. With a wave of his hand, Aion commanded the lightning to stop flashing and it did. The thick green mass that was eating everything had also stopped. The people who had not yet been touched by the destructive substance were running everywhere in panic also stopped, freezing in their tracks like the god had done to them before. Everything had stopped, save for Natasha, Diana, Carol and Carter. From ab

She had been busy ever since the FBI had showed up at the precinct not less than two years ago, right after she had taken down Atlanta's most wanted criminal—Trevor Brandon.   The maniacal and sociopathic man whose name had once grown infamously after his father, Blake Brandon, had died back in 2016.   Commander Blake Brandon, as he had been titled, had been the head of Atlanta's National Guard for over fifteen years until his career had been cut short with a bullet taken by a sniper right through his head, ending both his life and career in a mess of splattered brains.    Susan at the time, was only but a detecti

I T  W A S  T H R E E  o'clock in the afternoon when back at Carter•Labs, the loud sound of a blaring alarm had gone off, getting everyone's attention. Carter had rushed to a monitor where he was then looking at something he had never seen before. Warning! Extraterrestrial breach identified. The voice of Sally, the AI followed after the alarm. "What is it?" asked Katie. From the monitor, Carter could see a 3-D scaled representation of the earth's atmosphere and outer space where the different layers of the atmosphere were aligned with different colors; the innermost layer, the Troposphere being white; then the Stratosphere with yellow;  then the Mesosphere orange; the Thermosphere and Ionosphere  green and all the way to the Exosphere and Magnetosphere which had a rich dark color. The dark colored space appeared
