Chapter 2: Starfire and mystery girl

My question was answered by the memories that came flowing through my head. I was the last of my species. They used to have the power to control time but like the Martians, the Guardians of Oa changed their genetic makeup to lose that ability. Since they were a peaceful race, the Guardians felt that it was too unreasonable to let them fend off after taking their greatest survival skill. They added the ability to evolve infinitely into their genetic makeup.

The ones that survived told this story to their children, but none were angry as it meant that the people that were after them decreased as their main quality had vanished. They evolved into becoming fighters. They taught their young to find at a very young age. Now you might be wondering why I'm the last of my kind. It is because Kryptonian discovered my species and decided to erase my species after creating Doomsday with our DNA. They succeeded to kill all but a pregnant woman, my mother.

I did say that we gained the ability to evolve infinitely. Well, there is something that my ancestors discovered. Women could dictate when they would give birth to their children if they felt that it was too dangerous for them to be born at the moment. If the mother waited for too long, she would die but all her knowledge would be transferred to her child. That said child would also have bigger potential than a regular child. The increase was proportional to the time.

My mother waited for centuries years before giving birth to me. Even though, she had learned that Krypton had being destroyed, she still waited a couple of more years before birthing me. She found a nice planet and made sure that I would have enough, money stashed away and neighbor that would raise me as their own as they were friends with my mother. She did not tell them that she would die after childbirth as she wanted to maximise my chance of survival. Her first and last words to me were my name, Acnologia.

Since I had the knowledge of my mother and what she wanted me to do, I played the role of a normal child until I was old enough to survive on my own. That was the plan, but some random fuckers came to this planet took the princess and myself since I had caught their eyes.

The couple that was raising me wanted protest, but we all knew they would die because of that. I willingly gave myself. To my surprise, they had no idea what I was and that was what draw their attention to me. It seems like the Kryptonian wanted to make sure that Doomsday's existence stays as a secret weapon. They did a bunch of tests and noticed that I build resistance to whatever they injected me with. This pushed them into increasing the dosage to which I build a resistance to it then the cycle continued.

I had gotten my memories right after we left thus, I did not miss the Psion experience as I would call it. The Psion were sadistic scientist that experimented on all three of us. I had met the princess, her name was Koriand'r latter known as Starfire, but I started calling her Kory as we spend six years together in that torture of a spaceship. Kory and I were taken at the age of nine. From what I remember overhearing is that her sister betrayed her people and sentenced Kory into a life of torture.

If I remember correctly her name was Kormand'r, later known as Blackfire. She ironically got to suffer the same fate as her sister but since I did not see her it means that she is in another spaceship. Now the third person surprised me when they brought her three years ago. She called herself Laura or X-23. She had the same powers as her Marvel counterpart. It seems like the Psion were interested in her bone as it was made of an unknown metal. They spent three years testing it but never taking it from Laura as they were too busy playing with their favorite toy A.K.A me.

They always loved to see how far my resistance had gone up since the last time they tortured me. The bright side was that all three of us each got energy manipulation as a result for all those experiments. For Kory it was the same as her comic counterpart, for Laura it was like a coating type of energy manipulation and for me it was similar to Soldier Boy from the boy except that I could shoot the energy from any part of my body.

My time powers had yet to come. It was taking its sweet time to come in. After all those years at doing nothing but sitting in my cell, I had gained control of most my powers. I even discovered that I could form a telepathic link with those that were infected by my symbiotes. That is the reason we became even more close to each other than before. It was the only conform we had as this was the only thing the Psion could not take away from us. We even made a pact. Always and forever, we would always lookout for each other above anything else forever. The being that reincarnated me had informed me that my best chance to escape was when my time powers would awaken. After three more months, I finally gained it. I can not describe how I knew it, but I did. I felt like I could feel the flow of time as if I was in the ocean.

Kory: "Acnologia, you seem to be in a good mood. Did you imagine yourself ripping the heads of the Psion again?"

After spending years with me, Kory had lost a few of her comic counterpart habits, such as her speech mannerism.

Laura: "No, he doesn't release any bloodlust, he must have imagined us getting free."

I smiled.

Acnologia: "You are both right and wrong at the same time. I did not imagine anything since we are getting out of here today and we are ripping the heads of those fuckers while doing it."

They both smiled. I used my time powers to age our chains to dust. The Psion had no idea what hit them as we went through the ship releasing all the pain we received from the years of torture. I knew I could survive in space as that was one of their experiments. They lowered the atmosphere, in what I called torture room, little by little until it was the same as the vacuum of space. Just remembering it makes me madder. They had a secret weapon they thought could keep me in check but before they even tried to use it, I aged it to dust. The weapons they had prepared for Kory and Laura as I had shared my resistance, which at this point was borderline immunity, with them.

We went through the whole ship, but we did not find Kory's sister. My guess was right. She was in another ship. Laura found a space pod that looked like the one the Saiyan used. We could fit all three of us, but it would be tight… not that I was complaining.

Before we left, I concentrated a green bubble hovering on my right hand. I threw it toward the center of the ship. It went threw walls. That green bubble was a time grenade. As a side effect of coming late, I had more control over my time power. Once we were far enough, the time grenade exploded, aging the whole ship into dust. I was not going to let people track us down. It took us two days to land on whatever planet we landed on. I was asleep when we landed as it was Laura's turn to stand watch.

She had woken up Kory but thought it would be funny to see my reaction upon landing. I did not disappoint her expectations as she was laughing. I will get her back… later. We got out of the Pod, and I aged it to dust instantly as from what Kory said this type of Pod would only go back to a Psion spaceship. It was better to destroy it plus I can survive in space and Kory can fly with that combination, the three of us could leave this planet when we wanted. As we were relishing in our newfound freedom, as there was always a chance of the Psion catching us again, we saw a group of people heading our way. they were flying. I knew who they were, the Justice League.
