Darkseid Is. (Angst, 16)
It was the literal end of the world.  The heroes of the Earth had fallen decades ago, with very few remaining.  The Supers, the Wonders, the Flashes, and more, gone.  The oceans of Earth flash fried.  It's people enslaved, reduced to the status of Hunger Dogs.  The entirety of Europe gone, reduced to a massive firepit. 

Those heroes who did not die, enslaved, turned into twisted and fetishistic versions of themselves, with no trace of their heroism or compassion remaining.

But life did survive.  Small pockets of resistance remained, including one right in the heart of Darkseid City, just under the notice of the dark god of Apocalypse himself.

Lead by one of the last New Gods, Avia Freeman.  Her beloved William one of the first to die when the darkness had come, her parents the very first .  Alone and unchanged by the ages, as though time had simply passed her by.  One of so few voices still raised in the name of hope and freedom.

It was decades now.  And their numbers were growing fewer.  One of the last teams she had lead to the slave pens had... not returned, except for her.  They had succeeded, but at the cost of their own lives.

And she wondered how they would go on.  How she would go on.  She hadn't asked to be a Messiah, hadn't asked to be a leader.  But the only child of both New Genesis and Apocalypse...  where was her place in this universe where hope had all but died?

Green Lantern Dex had seen better days in his life, but for the past few years those better days were just dim memories. He walked down the tunnel clutching the his right side and blood seeped out between his fingers. He was one of two to come back from the mission. The others were all dead and by rights he should be too, but he was a little too stubborn to die just yet.

He stopped walking and fell to his knees. Blood loss from the wound in his side caught up to him. His legs felt like jelly and could no longer support his bulk. Blood trickled and seeped from various cuts and scrapes all over.

He just looked up at Avia.

Avia's mouth opend and closed without working.

"Demons of Darkseid, Dex..." she hissed, as she quickly moved to his side. "Here. Lean on me."

Dex leaned on her. He was tired and his body couldn't take much more of this. "Just prop me up against the wall," he said. "And I'd give the universe for a beer."

Avia brought him further inside, eventually leaning him against the wall. She couldn't use her Mother Box to heal him... those energies would be detected. Instead, she reached for her first aid kid.

"You know we haven't had any alcohol in months, Dex."

"I know," he said with a regretful sigh. "Just a last wish, Av. Just wanted one more beer."

He knew he was dying. It was amazing he had lasted this long. Now it was his time to be one of the fallen warriors.

Avia went to work trying to clean and dress the wound.

"No last wishes, Dex. Because you're not dying on me."

No more lost friends.

"I'm done, Av. I was lucky to make it back here," he said barely above a whisper.

"I'm sorry," he said. "Keeping fighting the good fight." His body went limp and his chest stopped moving.

"Dex!" she screamed. "Dex!"

She was crying now, screaming, her hands beating on his chest. "No! Dammit! No!"
