Y/n's POV:
Pitch black, that's all there is. It is something that will always be a constant in life. I'm unaware of the things that are happening around me , Why? well that is because I have been in a coma for I don't know how long. I used to hear the voices of my parents but that was so long ago, I can hear the world collapsing around me yet I cannot move my body to even hope to escape from the prison of my own mind.

But then I hear a voice coming not from outside but in my mind almost demonic-like, "Child, I am Nekron.", he spoke. "I have come to offer you a deal, one that can benefit the both of us. You see I have grown bored of battling life in our endless game after countless tries of fulfilling my prophecy of Blackest night I have finally won and banished Life from this world yet I feel nothing but boredom as this world collapses. I want to offer you a chance at living but this life will be a cursed life, you will be my host as I watch you thrive in a new world. So do we have a deal?", He finished. A chance to live a life I wished doesn't sound like a cursed life at all, I could hear Nekron chuckle at my thought.

"We have a deal then.", Nekron concluded.

For the first time in over 5 years I could finally open my eyes, I was no longer in that hell hole of a hospital but floating in the vastness of space. A glowing black aura surrounded me, when I looked at my appearance I was shocked to see not a floating corpse of a body but a revitalised one as if I was never in a coma in the first place.

'I have decided that unlike my previous hosts that were alive like you, where I would normally drain their life force. I decided to give you a sweeter deal, your body is now in peak condition, of course your curse now is that you will never die and therefore be my host until the end of time and onwards', Nekron informed me.  'On the way to the new earth I will share my knowledge with you, this goes both ways so anything that you learn I shall also learn', he spoke in my mind.

So as we make our way to the new earth I am flooded with eons of knowledge and memories, the rise and fall of superheroes, the collapse of distant worlds and the birth of new universes. I realised that my Earth was destined to collapse it was a part of the Dark Multiverse, one that no matter what happened it would eventually crumble away. I then learned of the Earth that Nekron was planning on taking us, Earth - 16, then I learned of the other entities of the emotional spectrum as well as the corps that I should be wary of. Eventually we arrive, looking down at my new home.

Superman's POV:

We had just finished one of our meetings regarding the new team of young superheroes, that is until we received a transmission from Hal, "Attention Justice League an unknown corps wielder has just been picked up, tracking their signal they are heading to Earth now. Stay on high alert!". I was the first to react as I headed out of the hanger to see our new visitor, and there in the distance was a figure covered in a glowing black aura. I decided to take the initiative and strike first. When I hit them they seemed unphased by my attack and simply turned around to face me, what I saw had shocked me, a boy no older than 17 floated in front of me he had short (h/c) hair that moved in the vacuum of space a build comparable to an athlete and pure white glowing eyes. He was dressed in a hospital gown and wore a glowing black lantern ring on his right hand.

"Hey! What was that for?!", He shouted at me breaking me out of my shock. His presence was unusually overwhelming as if I was in front of Death incarnate. I couldn't speak, as he began to float towards me.

"Superman! Come in, who is the target?", Batman called from the comms. Looking behind me I could see the rest of the league along with Hal and John carrying a bubble holding our non-flyers. The boy had also spotted them as his eyes scanned the league and landed on Batman.

"You!!", He flew straight at Batman swatting the other Leaguers to the side getting closer and closer to Batman, he then constructed a large skeletal black hand that clasped its fingers around the bubble holding Batman. The situation was becoming dire, cracks were beginning to form under the pressure of the skeleton construct, in a flash I sped up to the boy and grappled him and held him in place the hand disappeared and despite his age it was becoming a struggle to keep him in place.

"Let me go! He Killed me! He should pay the price!", the boy shouted again. Luckily Martian Manhunter arrived just in time and put the boy to sleep. "Phew, thank you J'onzz. It was getting harder to hold him back. I'll put him in the holding cell and then we need to find out who our mystery lantern is.", I spoke somewhat exhausted.

After placing the boy in the cell I met the rest of the League in the meeting room, "Bruce, can you tell me who that boy is?", I asked turning to Bruce as I spoke. the other Leaguers seemed to have the same question. There was a long pause before he replied, "I don't know".

"What do you mean you don't know? The kid just tried to squash you into paste and you don't know?", Flash asked from across the able.

"Bruce, the child said you killed him. It was clearly not a lie.", Diana spoke next.

"J'onzz when you entered his mind were you able to find anything?", I asked the Martian.

"Surprisingly no, it was if I was being blocked out by something", he replied. This had confused us all now.

"I may be able to help you with your questions", an ominous and bone chilling voice spoke.  Floating in front of us was a small black glowing orb that began to expand and shape itself into a body. Once it had finished a skeletal being was in its place, it looked around before focusing on Batman.

A/N: I don't own this, also best image I could find btw.

"I am Nekron the entity of Death, as well as the creator of the Black Lantern corps

"I am Nekron the entity of Death, as well as the creator of the Black Lantern corps. My host has come from a negative Earth which is a part of the Dark Multiverse, it holds universes that are destined to collapse no matter how one may hope to save it.", the being called Nekron informed us still keeping his gaze on Bruce. "My host is called Y/n L/n, he was in a coma for the last few years before his Earth's collapse. So I offered him a deal to live just not for power but so he could experience a life that he couldn't have on his earth.", Nekron spoke.

"I'm sorry but that still doesn't explain why he attacked Batman?", Diana spoke to death incarnate. He chuckled at this, "Isn't it obvious? The reason why Y/n was put in a coma in the first place is because of Bruce's idiotic disregard for casualties in battle." , Nekron alerted us that he knew Bruce's identity. "He didn't care as he ran after Clayface while Y/n was laying on the ground with one of Bruce's batarangs puncturing his lungs, after a year in hospital his parents abandoned him in that wretched place and soon enough his world collapsed while he was stuck in his own mind.", there was venom in Nekron's voice now as he kept his gaze on Bruce.

"I think you should look at yourselves before you accuse someone who never had a chance to live in the first place...", those were Nekron's final words before he vanished in a flash of black light. 

A/N: How was that? I had this thought for a while, for the nerds out there Earth -16 is the Earth of Young justice I thought it would be a cool idea if Y/n was a black lantern with Nekron as a host sort of like Venom in a way. Hp next.
