Chapter: 1
They say that hope can keep life going strong, that without it we would have nothing left. For me that statement couldn't be anymore true. As a Blue Lantern our power is powered by hope. Unfortunately I have not reached my full power and can only do so much with my hope ring, but it occasionally make me weak. My name is Gabriella Stewart, I am the Blue Lantern of earth and the first one in over a thousand years to be precise, since the Green Lantern usually handle this district but it was thankfully handled to me since being my home planet. I've been here for at least two weeks without any run-ins with the infamous Legion of Superheroes. It's not that I'm afraid of them or anything I just don't think I belong with a team. There are times though when I would help them with something of their missions without their knowing though. Little did I know that today everything would change.
It seemed like a normal day in New Metropolis as I was walking in my civilian clothes; I wore a tight burgundy striped dress with a short back jacket over it and black ankle boots. My skin was mocha caramel colored; my hair was the color of black and reached my shoulders that went down in waves, and dark brown eyes. The day seemed nice enough for a walk as I headed for the park when suddenly a blood curdling scream as I whipped around to face the source only to be faced with the reason of the scream. There was a giant purple tentacle monster, its tentacles were slimy and seemed to ooze every time it moved leaving a trail almost. It had one penetrating eyeball that shot lazers. Just as I was about to attack it the Legion suddenly appeared. Not wanting to get in the way I hid behind the tree incase they needed my help. For a while the Legion were beating it until the monster started to throw fireballs with its tentacles. Half of the Legion was down and just as the monster was about to attack Triplet Girl I decide to make myself known as my outfit changed to my black skirt and blue lantern shirt with black gloves, knee length boots with heels and a black domino mask now showing my newly changed blue eyes as I formed a shield around Triplet Girl making the attack bounce back onto the monster. Not wasting time I flew over to the monster.
"Hey ugly! Why don't you pick on somebody a little more challenging!"
This seemed to make it mad as it threw it's attacks on me as I quickly dodged throwing my own as I made a giant bazooka gun and fired it continuously but only to distract him giving the Legion to have time to get back on their feet. Good. When the monster wasn't looking Lightning Lad and TimberWolf began attacking it but only resulted to make it only more angry as a flaming tentacle came up from behind them, they wouldn't be fast enough to move away as I flew over and used myself to push them out of the way as I took a direct hit, my lower abdominal was bursting with intense pain from the burn as blood covered my hand.
"You should get you away from this." Said TimberWolf.
"I'm fine." I said
I resumed fighting being careful to not hurt my abdominal more. It only took five minutes for us to finally take down the monster as I shot abeam taking out its eye making it blind and easier to take down and destroy. The police helped with the cleanup and seeing as there was nothing left to do I decide to try and make my escape (try being the key word here) when the form of Brainiac 5 blocked me. Crap.
"Thank you for your assistance with the creature. May I ask who you are?" He asked politely but I knew he wanted to know what my true intentions were and it didn't take long before the whole Legion was they're circling me. Well there go my plans of going unnoticed as I let out a sigh.
" I'm Blue Lantern and that's all you need to know. "I said my eyes intent with seriousness "Now if you excuse me I'm leaving." I said as I began to float up when my abdominal started to ache making me momentarily lose my concentration and lower myself to the ground.
"Your hurt." Said Saturn Girl as she tried to take a look at my injury to find it bleeding profusely. I was loosing blood fast and I needed to get to my lantern and recharge I had already used too much energy already.
"I don't need any help really I'll be fine I just need time to heal. I said but I could tell she could see through my lies and I could feel myself weakening by the second and I was fading fast as my knees nearly gave out from under me when strong arms brought me to a warm chest as I was face to face with TimberWolf.
"You've already lost too much blood already let us help you." He said but I'm a stubborn person and didn't like for people to see me hurt as I conjured up a hand to separate us, as I was able to float a few feet in the air.
"I don't need any help I've been at this a lot longer than you all have and I've been here for several weeks even helping you guys out with this fighting!" I Shouted as I shot across the skies not waiting for a comeback sure I knew it was rude but it was better that I worked solo, but it didn't take long before I felt weak again TimberWolf was right I had lost too much blood as my surroundings started to get hazy, my body began to drop as I could feel the air rushing to my face. Than I couldn't feel the air anymore as gentle arms held me as Saturn Girl's voice rang out. " I got you. Just hang in there." She said as I felt familiar hands on me the only glimpse I saw was the Legion HQ before darkness consumed me. Ah hell.
