your Zombie Ex-Girlfriend

 Now there’s a story without a clear ending …or even much of a clear beginning either. What follows are some excerpts from the public research file on her.
Zombie is also known by the name Jade. Apparently it’s a name that was assigned to her during her time in The Asylum and quite assuredly, it is not her true birth name. The Asylum. That’s the experimental bio-sciences wing of the group known as Area 51. Not a lot of detailed or even reliable data gets out of that organization, but from what we can tell it is a primarily benevolent group dedicated to furthering mankind via the development and propagation of the super human. It is rumored that they employ what could be best described as “fringe science” techniques and they're not afraid to actually implement their research devices and enhancement discoveries … ones that even Dr. F would balk to make a buck from distributing in a dark alley. In retrospect, it looks like Jade was likely one of the earliest known victims of the Z-Virus... one of “The Infected.” She was found about 6 months ago in her emergent Zombie form, wildly rampaging though the city streets, destroying everything and anyone she came upon. I can say, after reviewing the surveillance footage from the street level cameras, it appeared that Zombie was searching for something or maybe even someone that she believed was hiding nearby. It was …horrible and a scene of terror that even the most realistic of horror films fail to capture. We have obtained footage that shows Zombie pausing to eat select …ah, portions of her first few victims before continuing on and these victims barely even had time to think about moving out of the way …and then she was upon them. Then it was all over and done for ‘em. She was so god-damned fast. It looked like a dark day for the city until one of the supers, code named Misty Monsoon, showed up with some of her team and took Zombie down with a massive concussive wind blast and subsequently kept her in a vacuum stasis field for transport back to Area 51. I wish the the surveillance footage was of a bit better quality. It's just conjecture at this point, but I’d go so far as to say that Zombie might have actually recognized Monsoon and intentionally calmed down …even let herself be captured at that point. All I can say is, if that 51 agent had not showed up so quickly, this would have been an Alpha Level event with significant deaths spread across the city. They treated her with... something during her time in the Asylum. I know they had to have. Some otherworldly concoction. A series of injections. Mind control? Nanotech Implants? Nobody knows the actual instruments of 51’s success. All I know is they got this monster under control and brought her slightly closer to something defined as human. Three months after her capture, Jade is no longer a raging homicidal monster and appears almost ... let’s call it “tolerant” of other humans. In my opinion she hovers dangerously somewhere between the living and the assuredly undead. She has been observed with the ability to quickly heal from injuries, even massive ones, but strangely she also sports bloody cuts and scars all over her body that do not seem to ever fully heal. Whatever treatment 51 gave to her, it also restored a portion of her sanity and her ability to form speech again. There are few that can say they are able to spend more than a few minutes with her. Kind of like entering the Lion’s cage. You don’t turn your back and there’s that uncomfortable feeling that when she looks at you, she just might be looking for her next meal. She’s insanely strong and fast as hell. She heals and her body regenerates itself and yet she may not actually still be alive. If she could fly and didn’t scare little kids …and most other living things, then she could damn well be Superman’s little sister. As a result of the Area 51 treatments, we know that Jade helped defend the city during the recent Infected outbreak. She fought side by side with the humans and other groups of supers, defending them all and destroying more than 500 of the infected onslaught. Only a few knew they were fighting with Zombie. Area 51 provided her with a holo-field generator that gave her the appearance of a human. If she didn't have this cover, she would have been the focus of attacks from both sides of the Infected battle. Seems as though the holo-generator was destroyed near the end of the Infected war, but I've also heard rumors that Jade ripped the device off and destroyed it herself. Jade’s newfound clarity of mind has also revealed a small portion of her past. Surveillance has picked up that she truly believes that she was in a relationship with one of the supers prior to her infection. I'm not sure of the validity of that belief as it seems that nobody is sure which super she was involved with, not even Jade herself. The relationship ended badly she says and speaking of the residual feelings brings her to a rage. So badly was this breakup, that there is the supposition that Jade’s infection with the Z-Virus may have been someone’s attempt to keep her quiet …for the long term. The idea that there is a super powered being out there that would literally terminate an old girlfriend in this way is even more disturbing than what Jade actually went through. What did she know? Is there any legitimacy to her belief that the infection was a “hit” on her or is her mind so corrupted that she’ll never know the truth? Was Area 51 involved from the start? It certainly makes me wonder if she wasn’t simply an escaped Area 51 experiment gone wrong and mind controlled from the start. She's too agile to be blocked. Too strong to be contained. Too much burning revenge …to die. Jade now seems resigned to the fact that she needs to uncover the missing pieces of her past, her identity, how she came in contact with the Z-Virus and what is keeping her undead yet sane. Holy crap I’ve seen firsthand what she can do. Super powers or not, if she ever finds him I sure wouldn’t want to be that rumored ex-boyfriend.

a new beginning, a new handle (for now anyways)

I used to be named Roger Anderson, then for years i was known better as Burning Daylight (L*). I was a hero in the Legion of Superheroes. Maybe not ever the strongest or toughest, but i worked real hard at hanging out with them. Most the time i got my butt kicked.

Then the “white event" happened, and everyone died. Everything died. Gone.

The afterlife is pretty nice if you were a hero. I got to hang out with my Grandpa and go fishing. Only this time he wasnt much older then me, i dont remember much, other then the boat, the beer (it was GOOOD), a couple of cigars, and my family was there. Kind of like an old time family vacation to the lake, only Grandpa and Grandma werent very old, and my brother’s kids were grown up. And somehow it seemed ok. Weird.

Anyways, it was early morning, and Grandpa and i were out fishing, and “life” was good in a comfortable your favorite sweatshirt kind of way. Either you understand or you dont, thats ok. We were on the boat (blue, wooden, about thirty foot long, outboard motor) just chatting about stuff, when Lady Athena showed up. She was a goddess on my old world, i suppose she was out of work being as to how the world was dead. Short, maybe five foot nothing, more curly dark hair then you could imagine, and eyes that were both grey and blue at the same time (dont ask me how that works if you dont understand, gods are like that sometimes).

“Hero, how are you?”

I tilted my head in an odd manner, with one hand pointing at my Grandpa, the other one at my chest, and thought at her “????”

With a giggle she replied “Ok, thats an answer I suppose, but I was asking you Roger.”

‘Well, the hurts have gone away from getting stomped on by aliens all the time, and it feels good to be hanging out with my family without having to dash off all the time. I’d say on a scale of one to five I’m about a 7 right now. Would you like a beer?”

“Thank you. You do know there are other worlds dont you? Would you be willing to be my Champion again?” and she holds out something i hadn’t seen since i had died, my Legion ring.

“Do they need me? I was getting used to not getting my jaw broken.”

“Yes, they need someone, there are aliens coming. Not bugs this time, but aliens just the same.”

I hold out my hand, cupped a little bit, “well then I dont have much choice, if people need saving, they need saving. What do you want me to do?”

“The far side of this lake, there are some hills, the largest one, on the far side of the hill, has a cave, go thru that. The rest will be taken care of.” She hands me the ring, and then I am alone with my Grandpa.

I start to draw power, something i havent done in a long while, and the temp drops a few degrees. “Grandpa, i have to go….”

He puts his beer down, gives me an old time Army salute, and then a Hug.
“Be careful Roger, we will see you again some day.”

I turn and take a couple of steps into the air, turn, wave once, and then fly off. There is a fight that needs to be fought. There are folks that need saving. There are aliens that need to have their butts kicked.

Until i earn the name “Burning Daylight” I will use another moniker, “Maximum Thermal Output” sounds good.
