It wasn’t easy to remember the life you lived before that day. Before you found out what exactly was going on. Your enemies, those people who tried to fight your father, bring him to his knees for attempting to free another planet. Darkseid was a good man. Saved you from enslavement many years ago. When you were small.

He brought you up to save planets like yours. You’d saved many. Defeating those imprisoning the planet and it’s people only to go back to the ship and have your father order you to rest.

You should have been suspicious when everyone claimed to be heroes. When a group of Green Lanterns found you on patrol and attacked. The only one that managed to survive Called a monster. A world killer. It stuck in your mind. Stuck with you as the man seemed even more confused by your confusion. The words he yelled as he was dragged off. Your father told you to pay no mind. But when you visited the man’s cell for answers later that night he was gone. No signs of an execution. Just.. vanished.

When you informed your father of the disappearance of the man, he set corse for the man’s home planet. A placed called Earth.

That’s how you found yourself in the room your father forbid. The room you were never meant to enter. The room with heads on its wall. The room with trophies from worlds he’d deliberately destroyed. World’s torn apart. And your home planet. Logs of what happened. How you’d been a slave from the day you were born and purchased as a hound dog by the man you called father.

You didn’t know what to think. Reading about how you were a lab experiment meant to be a weapon. A tool. Physically enhanced to endure. Work without food, water, or sleep. You weren’t even supposed to have free will.

Now, walking down the halls of your home, everything seemed to spin. And the new planet’s heroes were arriving fast. Were you supposed to stay by his side? Defect? ..could you even defect?
