Karl’s POV
It was so depressing...everyone was crying, wearing black, it started raining. Ariel was screaming that it isn’t real her baby didn’t die. Rehan was out of it...frozen. Adrena kept saying “but I’m his bunny...why did he leave his bunny”. Adalene was just sobbing. Me? I was drowning in guilt because
I couldn’t save him
////////////////
I shot up from the uncomfortable hospital chair I was sitting in with tears streaming down my face..just a nightmare Karl he isn;t dead. I looked towards the bed where a comatose lake was lying next to his sleeping mother. But that changed when I saw lake move his finger...
He’s been in a coma for 2 months. The doctor said it should have been longer but what I did really helped. I called for a nurse and rushed to his side..
Lake's pov
Darkness...everywhere I turned my head it was completely dark. I felt so much pain my body felt like it was getting repeatedly stabbed by a needle. I wanted to open my eyes, but my lids felt so heavy...I just wanted to sleep again. I felt movement towards my right like someone was getting up.
I heard footsteps and felt someone grab my hand.
“Lake..”
“Hey baby can you move your finger again?”
Someone was crying in the background… m-mom? Wait...baby? Omg karl?
I moved my finger even if it hurt my body. Someone laughed through their tears but I couldn’t tell who
“Okay...now can you open your eyes?”
I cracked my eyes open only to close them again when I felt a burning sensation. I heard the click of a light and someone saying try again. So after a good 15 tries I opened my eyes…
I looked around not caring how much pain I was really in to see who was here…

Mom
Karl
Rehan
Where’s Adrena?
“It’s 4 in the morning Adalene and Adrena are at home...Oh that reminds me I’ll go call her and tell her your awake”
I opened my mouth to speak but instead coughed when I felt I liquid getting sprayed into my mouth
“It’s a spray bottle with cold water, the nurse said it’s better than trying to get you to swallow.”
“W-wa”
I really couldn’t speak…
“Y-you were umm…” Rehan started to speak but his voice cracked…
Did I cause that?
Selfish
“You were in a c-coma for 3 months a-after an overdose...we found you in the bathroom at your d-dad’s house”
How many months…
“I-I’m s...s...s-orry”
They both smiled at me and mouthed ‘it’s okay’
….
But is it really?
Time skip///
I’ve been in the hospital for 2 weeks and I’m being released today. I feel so bad...you can tell how much I hurt everyone, and how traumatising it was for them even if they try not to show it. But of course the one who caused it will be able to tell.
It was awkward with Rehan and karl because I told them I loved them in a letter before trying to do the unthinkable. I had my reunion with Adrena. She cried in my arms for a few hours before giving me the silent treatment. I’m not even going to say anything about my mom...long story short over that span of 3 months she became depressed.
And I did that
I’m sorry
////////////////////////////////////
Lake's memory
I remember collasping on the bathroom floor and feeling liquid spread around me soaking through my clothes. My mind going blank...breathing slowing down...eyes opening and closing...than finally closing. Footsteps running towards me, fingers on my neck. Someone shaking my body and whispering things I could barely hear
"here"
"eyes"
"stay awake"
"i'm here"
"beautiful"
I remember opening and closing my eyes a few more times before getting lifted onto something soft and closing my eyes...for a very long time

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.

Zone has no owner, it has its rules It shows no mercy, to both wise and fools. It has no God, it gives no hope It gives to kind, last rites and rope.

For those, outside, they dream of horrors We live inside, horrific borders. We live, we thrive, just like those demons. Here, our lives, they have a meaning. Zone has no God, it has no Devil But it has us and its enough We are in Hell or maybe Heaven Gates are here, in front of us. The Zone has many rules and none of them would make much sense to you, living on the Outside. For example here, you would never hear, “I’m sorry for your loss”. Only silence would be the answer. The most empathetic action you would receive, is an open flask and a nod. People here don’t expect to live long and happy lives and even the most optimistic person at most, would hope to die inside of a blender. It's the most painless and quickest way to die in The Zone, and the cleanest. Your body would be torn apart in a second by countless gravitational pulls, all centered on you, leaving nothing but a red circle outside of its perimeter.
