So...I know that i haven't worked on the Lantern of Time in a while, but that will change (hopeful) soon.
This story came to me when I feel asleep while working on The Lantern of Time and listening to the radio, was dreaming about the two things all night.
I truly hope you enjoy this.
Disclaimer: I don't own GL:TAS or Some Nights, DC and the band Fun do.
Razer jolted up after, yet another, nightmare.
"Aya," he said sadly.
Some nights I stay up cashing in my bad luck,
Some nights I call it a draw,
He sat up in the bed, feeling thirsty. Moving to go get a drink after collecting his power ring from the side table.
Some nights I wish that my lips could build a castle,
Some nights I wish they'd just fall off,
After getting his drink and returning to his room, he sat the glass on the table, and sat back on the bed.
He opened the drawer that help the weapons he kept in his pockets, and began shifting through it, being careful not to cut himself.
he finally found what he had tried to find for, a picture frame with a photo in it.
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
Razer stared at the picture in the frame for a long time. It had been taken on Oa, just before he had left for Odym. The picture showed him, Hal Jordan, Kilowag, and...Aya.
They had been standing in front of the Interceptor, everyone smiling but him.
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights I don't know anymore...
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh,
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh
Razer saw the tears hit the glass of the picture frame before he felt them, falling with a quiet plink with each hit.
This is it, boys, this is war - what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
Why was Aya doing this, because of his words? Because he had said he didn't really love her?
Didn't she know he hadn't meant any of it?
I was never one to believe the hype
Save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked,
But here they come again to jack my style
"Jordon," Razer heard Kilowag yell, "turn that junk off, some of us are trying to sleep."
"Sorry," Hal yelled back, "I'll turn it down."
That's alright;
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I a-
The song quieted till it could not be heard from through the walls.
Razer wiped his eyes free of the tears. He liked that song, terrible singing, but nice lyrics. It truly reminded him of himself and how he wasn't sure just what he stood for now that Aya was the way see was.
He would ask Hal to hear the entire thing sometime.
"What the heck was that racket last night Jordan?" the sergeant demanded the next day.
"It was a song that is pretty popular on Earth, Kilowag," Hal answered, "it's called Some Nights, and I find it relaxing to listen to."
"I have to say, I also found it...enjoyable," Razer pointed out.
Hal and Kilowag stared slack-jawed. Razer found something enjoyable? the universe must be coming to an end.
"Who are you," Hal asked, "and what have you done with Razer?"
Razer rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"I am Razer, and I'm asking to hear that song again some time," he said to the Green Lantern.
Hal smiled, "Sure thing Kid, heck maybe later today, but now let's focus on finding Aya and putting an end to this Manhunter crap."
Razer nodded and sat in his seat.
Hopeful, they would find her soon.
Please Review so I know if I did any good.
