Everything Changes, Part 1: 2 of 3
Mar. 11th, 2006 05:25 amThe air wakes him, streaming past his eyes and mouth, making him flinch, which sends him into a spin.
I'm falling, is his first thought and the next is that he is still falling through eternity, that all of Milliways was a dream. But when he opens his eyes and sees the ground coming up at him from far below, he knows it isn't.
He failed, he has failed and he is falling and it is only right...
He forces himself to look and see what is happening and realizes that he is falling towards Gotham. Somehow, the Rock must have materialized over Gotham! He glances around and sees fires and strange glows from everywhere and what looks like rocks laying around in buildings and amidst destruction. He isn't sure what happened but he know where he is now and he tries to think.
All he has to do is say the magic word and he can fly., right?
Should he even try? He has failed in everything he was supposed to be, everything he was supposed to do. The world is threatened because he wasn't good enough...He shakes his head, in the wind and grinds his teeth. No time. No time to think or do anything. He needs to say the magic word and get out of here.
And the magic word is....
Panic grips him again as he realizes he cant remember the word.
He casts about in his mind for a moment, almost hyperventilating but then forces himself to calm as he continues to fall, closer and closer to the Earth.
I can't remember... I can't remember the word...
And the ground comes closer... ever closer.
