Facing the Past

Shade's eyes flew wide open before he took a deep breath. Quickly, he then jumped out of bed while wildly searching his chest for a hole. This time, Shade was certain that he was supposed to be dead. He had felt when the Shadow Master's blade had pierced his heart. So how was he still alive?

This was when Shade noticed something strange. He was in a small children's bedroom. The bed he was sleeping on was the shape of a race car, action figures of different superheroes lined his dresser, and many other toys were scattered across the floor.

"What the hell's going on..?" Asked Shade to himself. It was almost as if he was back in the real world.

Slowly, Shade then moved closer to the dresser before picking up a small Superman action figure. This was when Shade caught a small glimpse of himself in a nearby mirror.
