Hello everyone! *Cue tumbleweed* Okay I deserve that, but after three+ years and several medication and school changes, I'm back and hopefully staying if anyone wants me to. Please keep in mind that the first version of this was written when I was 13... Dear lord I sucked at this! Anyway this is the story of a teenage Red Lantern, while she cannot speak she uses the ring to form words, this is not the same as the ring itself talking to her.

Now if that's all cleared up enjoy my cruddy and possibly less cruddy writing.

The rewritten version begins at the second line break.


I looked at the stars from my spot on the asteroid me and my mentor – Green Lantern Hal Jordan- were sat on. "This is a very bad idea." I typed

The GL took a deep breath, preparing for what would probably be another argument (we don't get on – at all). "This will be good for you. They will be good for you."

"Me plus people always equals trouble."

"As a lantern it is your duty to protect people, the team will help you do that-"

"I'm a RED lantern! I'm not supposed to be coherent, let alone social, it's against my nature. Even before the ring." I wrote in anger, the emotion I represent.

Ok time to introduce myself: my name is Jessica Blood Angel and I'm 16, English-probably. My appearance is not important. (Will be revealed later on)

costume: black bulletproof leggings, black long sleeved top, with a hood, red rose (with the red lantern symbol in the middle) on the left shoulder, white rose on the right hip, silver vines with razor sharp thorns poking outwards wrapping around the torso arms and right leg, red gloves and under the hood a white mask with red on the lips and eyes in a swirl pattern at the outer corners of the eyes.

This is not the time for stories so I will save mine for a later time.

My 'mentor'(sarcasm detected) spoke up again. "I'm sorry Red Rose (my mask name) but it has been decided."

This caused my mind to… go dark. "For this decision I hope you burn with the pain it will cause."

I flew away before he could say anything else.


This is the rewritten version of the intro, the ring speaks in italics. Please tell me which you prefer. I do plan rewriting the rest and continuing from there if anyone actually wants that. Thank you.


Location: Sector 2814. Time: ?

Red Rose P.O.V

I glared at the stars from my spot on the rock; it's a good view, for a rock. The fact the rock is in space may help. "Are you going to say anything?"

If only my company was as good as the view. "Have you changed your decision?" I ask the Green Lantern.

"First, it wasn't my decision-"

"It's still a terrible decision."

"Better the alternative." He points.

"... Granted." I concede.

"Secondly, it'll be good for you. They will be good for you." He sounds as though he actually believes that, idiot.

I turn to glare at my mentor. "Lantern Jordan, what colour is my ring."

He sighs tiredly, we've had this conversation too many times. "Red."

"And since when has red ever meant anything good?"

"The Flash wears red." Jordan smiles.

"Me plus people always equals trouble. You're a fool." Why can't he see this will end badly?

"I'm also your boss and I say you're not getting out of this."

Rage

The smug, idiotic, over confidant. Argh! I flew off before I could do something... regrettable.

Lantern! you are wasting battery. Focus. Who are you?

Rose Red A.K.A Jessica Angel.

What were you?

Human, 16, English.

What are you?

A Red Lantern.

What is a Red Lantern?

Unpleasant, unreasonable, technically undead.

Is that what you want to be?

No!

What do you want to be?

…A hero…

Then why fight the one who wants to help you become such?

For the same reason I'm wearing a hooded red and black top with roses and a Red Lantern symbol on the left side of my chest, white leggings, black boots ( not high heels, thank The Blood Pool. ), red clawed gloves and a full face white mask. You.

Glad to help.


If you are reading this, thank you, critique and advice especially on grammer, how to write conversations and define communicating styles (i.e Telepathy, typing, etc) is both welcome and wanted/ desperately needed. To the poor few who followed and reviewed this the first time around, once again thank you! I don't know what you saw in this but your input on the revised version would mean a lot if you are willing to give it.

See you soon.
