I didn't know how much time passed as I stayed afloat inside that tank but quite frankly? I didn't care not even a little I had more important matters.
First of all
Memories not mine but of pink diamond of rose quartz thousands of years worth of memories were flooding my head from homeworld To her being locked in that tower I saw it and experienced it all things considered my few decades of life were nothing compared to it my personality and mind should have been reshaped completely by it.
But it didn't. It felt as if some barrier was present, a barrier that showed a clear line between Pink and me. I lived her life, yet at the same time, it was as if I was watching a movie that allowed me to copy all her experiences and understand her powers.
I was able to get everything useful from the usage of her powers and the battle experience during her rebellion against homeworld as Rose quartz but I carried none of her trauma thus in a way I was still me.
And then it was followed by the inherited knowledge that a person gets after eating the devil fruit of the {Gura Gura no Mi} I felt it the power to destroy the world at the End of my fingertips
I wasn't close to Whitebeard's level of control not even close after all he had decades to optimise it But in raw destruction? I could be even better because I wasn't human not anymore the limits of his mortality weren't present for me
If I didn't care about anything around me? I could bring an entire city to rubble.
I could have broken out from the what I assume is Cadmus but not yet I needed myself to be emotionally stable I needed to accept what happened.
So for the first time since I woke up in that tank, I allowed myself to cry to accept the reality that I most likely would never go back that I would never be able to say goodbye.
After a long while my emotions calmed down I was a mature person I wasn't going to let myself cling to the hope of going back it would only make it more painful when I am forced to face reality later.
If I ever found a way back I would grasp it and never let go. But if I didn't then I would do what humans do best keep moving forward to keep living!! It would hurt I would miss them always but I know they would want me to be well and happy and for them, I have to try.
I opened my eyes as I Punched The glass in front of me surprised to feel the entire tank shake i pulled my hand again as I punched it harder my fist broke through the glass and it broke apart As the water drained from the tank as my feet touched the ground for the first time since I woke up.
I looked around finally fully taking the lab or rather metal room of sorts that I was in with many advanced tools that old me would sell a kidney or two for I shook my head ignoring the red light and the emergency sirens that started as soon as I broke out from the tank as I walked to the closest Mirror? Glass? As I stared at myself A body so familiar to my new memories yet so strange to me.

I was tall like 8 feet something and boy was I beautiful!
The cartoon never gave it credit but to say that I was beautiful would be an insult I was well the only term I can think of is perfect as if a doll and A princess of Disney combined and came to life
I sighed heavily as I said So this is where dignity dies My voice made me stop for another second as I sighed again
I started hearing many steps coming from the rather big door to my location
I could have broke through them slowly as I marched to the surface but I wasn't going to do that If superboy is alive he and his copy should be able to survive what I would do next as for those scientists I have no mercy for that kind of people my father told me that Don't harm others without reason.
But he also taught me that if others wished to harm me to never hold back
And I didn't need to be a genius to know what they would do to me if I were captured
SO I went to the middle of the room As I brought my two arms in a huge X gesture in front of my body as two spheres made of the strongest possible vibrations I could make came to life And Then I slammed my hands to the side as I heard the sound of glass cracking, Then the world gave in and chaos followed
[Cadmus security room]
Dr mark Desmond was at the verge of having a very happy day
That pink diamond that crashed on Earth a few years ago which radiated enough energy for a nuclear reactor to be put in shame was alive! Not only did it take the shape of a humanoid creature but it was awake!
Fools he cursed under his breath how did no one notice the changes happening on subject Pink D-1!
He was one of the few scientists who tried to work on that diamond to discover why it held so much energy inside of it! But he always fell short he wasn't able to even scratch it! For some reason, it wasn't possible
He was so annoyed that he even thought of asking the Big Blue to crack it for him but then he remembered he was the villain so he calmed himself down he had no intentions of having Big Blue dragging him to jail.
He watched He watched as that admittedly beautiful being broke through containment and just as he was imagining all kind of information an alien species could bring
The next second the pink woman brought her arms in the form of an X gesture?as white spheres formed at each hand
As she then smacked the air just for some white like Cracks akin to spiderwebs to start spreading as if the air was turned into a glass and cracked but he was wrong.
What cracked? Was reality.
The world broke it took a few seconds as the entire underground facility started shaking like an earthquake was Hitting It cracks were spreading as some levels already turned red on the security screens As the levels collapsed on themselves
He turned to the closest subordinate he had to see him looking at him with shock and disbelief as he said 7.5 earthquake and rising !! And Cadmus is the center of it
Desmond didn't hesitate as he bolted to what he thought was his only hope of survival cadmus was a strong facility sure it could withstand a 7.0 earthquake but it would never withstand an earthquake happening where Cadmus was the center OF IT!
As he reached the door to what he was seeking the world cave in as the walls broke and followed by everything else
[Washington, D.C]
A reporter was seen as the live broadcast started from a helicopter flying over
Washington, D.C, or what should be Washington, D.C because there was nothing but an apocalyptic scene houses crumpled as the earth beneath the city gave in as the earth swallowed whatever fell In It as some poorly constructed skyscrapers started cracking at the center before falling down
The reporter a middle-aged man said trying to keep himself stable Welcome everyone to the live broadcast of what experts estimated to be a 7.8 earthquake hitting in the middle of Washington, D.C. The government is rushing to evacuate and try to contain the catastrophe But It's obvious that today the live toll would be heavy
Many are wondering where the Justice League is? Why haven't they arrived yet to save everyone!
As the camera continued the live broadcast as a huge crack opened in the earth As the inside of Cadmus was exposed to sunlight as everything covering the 52 levels caved in As a huge sinkhole of what should be Cadmus was exposed
The reporter didn't hesitate to tell the cameraman to aim the camera at the now exposed facility
[Gotham city robin pov.]
Washington, D.C was turned to hell and unlike everyone else! I knew the league wasn't going to arrive
The Justice League was on some top-secret mission that Batman refused to tell me about! And I didn't find anything about it even when I hacked the Bat computer still lacking in security but I guess I am just that good
I shook my head as the bat computer connected to a coming call as Kid Flash face appeared as he was running most likely to Washington, D.C
As he said Hey dude we need to..I cut him off as I said got it we need to help I will contact everyone we have we need to be there now. "
I stood as I left for the zeta Tube as I contacted everyone available Batman won't like it but he can drill my head later about this!
[Washington, D.C]
The catastrophe continued to unfold as the live podcast was focused on the center of the now huge sinkhole in what used to be Cadmus as after 10 long minutes the earthquake finally stopped and rescue operations soon started to happen across the city but it was obvious that it would take quite a while for anything organised to take place effectively.
A few minutes later as the now many live broadcasts across America and some watched even worldwide as the broadcasts from injured citizens to reporters who arrived on the scene took place.
But things started to stabilise with the arrival of many young heroes from Kid Flash who was able to move people across huge distances in record time
Starfire who was saving people crushed under huge debris as she picked them from under it
And an unknown girl with pale skin and dark purple hair who was using magic to teleport many who are in serious conditions and need immediate medical care
And many more young heroes (Aqualad and others) known and unknown while even normal citizens aiding others as they tried to save people.
As the life podcast continued recording all of this live to the world.
A huge shockwave erupted as two beings broke through the debris one Monstrous in nature and the other in a white like skin suit with a rather very famous sigil on its chest with its eyes ablaze as it hurled the other figure to the ground as it flew after it.
While in the center the helicopter kept on recording of what used to be Cadmus wondering how such a huge facility was hidden in the first place as a pink sheild like bubble broke through the debris as bringing the camera's attention to her.
The pink bubble popped
As a pink woman came into the view of the camera.
To say most of the men watching the livestream now had a new understanding of what beautiful meant was an understatement.
On the other side of the facility another figure rose from the rubble it reached the surface as it had the same famous symbol on its chest
With a rather angry look.
