DC: The Dark One

(Cover from Pinterest) (Once Upon a Time X DCAMU AU)
All magic comes at a price, the iconic phrase of one Rumplestillskin otherwise known as Mr. Gold. A collector of magical artifacts, and dealer of various goods and services. Also known as The Dark One, well I found myself in his body...kinda, I was reborn as a baby on July 10th, 1915 three years before World War 1 ended and twenty-four years before World War 2 started. I suffered through the depression alongside my family and worked in a nearby mine before child labor laws were established or even considered.

Luckily I didn't need an education as I had already gone through college in my first life and became a History Major which didn't do me a lot of good in this new reality. A few things remained consistent but even I could tell the world I was reborn in was not my own. I could tell that before I learned about the various heroes this world had. Like the original Flash, an old-time Black Canary, and a hero called Hourman.

Now it's hard to figure out I was in a DC world but which one amongst the countless multiversal counterparts? It didn't matter it was only a matter of time before I was conscripted into the army and fought on the frontlines in France. Then well it came, the dagger that would change my new life forever.
