JLU Drabble: Role of a Lifetime
'Tis the season, after all.
Role of a Lifetime
The power disruptor wore off, though not in time to save them. Yet her mission meant survival above all else, and at the end, that had won over loyalty. Bruce had opened the dimensional doorway but only she had walked through, destroying the gate behind herself.
Fortune had favored her. First in her discovery that her double's disgrace had rendered her an outcast. Second in that she found her counterpart when not even the League knew her whereabouts. Third in the wolves to which she threw the corpse.
The Nelsons took her in without question, and no one ever knew.
