Why this must be read:
Once upon a time, there was an episode of Justice League called "A Better World," wherein the League fought with their own dark selves, the Justice Lords. The episode resonated with the writers and the fandom, so much so that it served as the phantom structure arcing over much of the next two seasons of JLU. Also, it led to a lot of amazing fanfic.
Once upon a time, there was a series called Static Shock which was to JL what Angel was to Buffy only not quite, and it detailed the adventures of one Virgil Hawkins, a teenaged boy with electrical powers. Picture if you will a fifteen year old geeky comics fan who suddenly has superpowers and occasionally gets to hang out with Batman and Superman. In one crossover, the League approached him to ask him to help power the Watchtower.
"Freefall" is a short 'fic (500 words) set in the Lorderverse in which we discover the fate of that world's Virgil. I read this story before seeing a single episode of Static Shock and it chilled me to the bone; after having inhaled the series, it still does. Fresne has a poet's gift with words and description, and what she presents here is frighteningly plausible, given what we saw in ABW.
Once upon a time, the Justice Lords needed a battery too.
