Lately I found out that I have been over extending my attention, so if you read any of my other books (Bring me the Moon and Star Wars) then they will be getting lower priority as I am losing motivation for them. However Percy Jackson will continue for now. This is my version of Young Justice set in Season 1, with Kid Flash, Artemis, Miss Martian, Superboy, Aqualad and Robin.

A long time ago I would have laughed in your face if you told me I was a Green Lantern. All things considered, I probrably still would. If you told me that i'm a Green Lantern and have to go to school, then I have no idea how to respond. Since when do heroes go to school anyway? I can definitely see Batman in his suit sitting here like an idiot... not. Anyways here I am and I have no idea what's going on. "Excuse me?" the teacher calls for my attention and I don't dissapoint.
"hmmm" I respond, in what is the considered the worldwide symbol for "hello, I wasn't listening".
"Tell me Mr..." she pauses to wait for an answer.
"Rayner. Kyle Rayner." I purposely do my best Sean Connery impression. She isn't impressed by the slightest.
"Well Kyle, tell me what is Shakespeare's moral story in Macbeth?." she puts her hands on her thin hips, looking like more of a teenager than us.
"Not to be a douche-bag and kill your friends." I snicker, provoking a few more from my classmates, exactly the reaction I wanted. Suddenly the familiar burst of knowledge passes into my mind, from that damned ring. "Or... that greed and ambition can corrupt even the most honourable of men, we should always attempt to overcome our averice and not succumb to it." I blurt out unwillingly. Coupled by a few half-shouts of "Nerd" from the back of the class. This ring is ruining everything, I wasn't even selected for it. Some guy came upto me and said "You will have to do." really, i'm not joking. It's lame that I will "have to do" as a Rookie Lantern, but at least I was put into this new program for sidekicks.
Relief poured over my body as the bell went off to signal the next lesson. After traversing the highly dangerous battlefield known as the Happy Harbour School corridors, I only just make it to my next exhausting lesson: History. It's so boring, I will literally sit a room with Batman all day. Taking a seat or rather melting into the seat I pull out my books and ready myself for depression. "Dude that's so cool! Where did you get that? It looks sooo real." a creepy fanboy grabs my hand to inspect my ring, in an instant I whipped my hand back and came up with a valid reason.
"uhh... I got it on eBay. Yeah eBay. It was really cheap if you ask me and so not real, I mean do you think I would be here if I was a Lantern?" I force an akward laugh at the end and he seems to buy it.
"You a new guy, huh?" he extends his hand out and I reluctantly shake it.
"Yep that's me. Kyle, the good ol' boring and totally not a Lantern teenager. How did you know?" I said to quickly distract him from my obvious nervousness.
"I haven't seen you around. I'm Marvin by the way." he replaces his hand onto his desk and leans back. "Those guys better be at lunch next, I hate being on my own. What do you say, wanna hang out with me bro." No!.
"Sure why not... bro." against my entire body screaming to yell no, I weirdly agree.
"Cool, just like the Freeze man." he pushes himself further back and I resist the temptation to push this wannabe over.
"Freeze?" this guy had better not just called me a villian.
"Oh yeah, like Mr. Freeze cool. Always cool, never warm." he theatrically fans his head with his book whilst talking, however I still have no idea what he is on about and decide to drop it.
(Later on at the benches next to the football stadium...)
"Where are you from?" my new "friend" asked me and deep down i'm thankful that he stopped talking about his card collection. Seriously I love heroes, but that's just going too far.
"All over the place. I... fly around a lot." I tentatively suggest, subtely hinting who I am, as I want to see if he can take a hint.
"I've always wanted to fly, like Superman or Wonder Woman. That would be a dream come true." he sighs deeply.
"What about the Green Lanterns, they can fly and travel in space." I interject as I am slightly infuriated he could forget us so easily.
"They aren't as cool as the others, you have a magical ring so what? Superman gets powered by the sun and can shoot lasers out of his eyes." he puts his fingers on his temples, as though trying to simulate Superman using his eye thingy.
"They aren't magical!." I burst out.
"Tell me. What do you know about the Lanterns?" he questions me using a batman voice, but he quickly returns to his normal voice. For a moment I wanted to reveal myself to this jack-ass, however Hal would kill me and so for once I keep my mouth shut. "Ha! Exactly!" he jeers as though he just won the biggest arguement on Earth.
"Marvin! Are you tormenting new kids again?" A black haired girl appears out of the blue and points at Marvin, who hastily scurries off.
"Don't worry about him. He loves to show off his obsession with heroes." he approaches me, I now see she is wearing a black and yellow jumper.
"It's okay. Just tell him that the Lantern rings aren't magical." I smile in a trademark Kyle way, for a moment she looks confused but shakes it off soon after. It looks like she hears this stuff everyday.
"Will do. I have cheerleader practise now, but you can stay and watch in the stands. Your choice." after that she skips away and throws down a bag down in the pitch and commences with eye opening stretches. Oh... i'm so watching this. Clambering up a few benches I flop down in the middle of the stands and play around with my ring.
"You're in my seat." a deep and aggressive voice growls from behind me. Slowly I shuffle down to the edge of the bench and a massive guy sits where I was parked down. He notices me looking and glares threatening at me. "What are you looking at?" to which I pretend that I was watched the practice. Damn. Somebody got up on the wrong side of his steroids. It was then I noticed another cheerleader had joined the group. My first impression was pretty hot and thought it would be a great conversation starter for Mr. Testosterone over there.
"Pretty cute huh?" I nudge closer to El Macho Man.
"You are just begging for a beating, aren't you? Word of advice: Leave. Me. Alone." he barks, this time with added malice.
"Or what? You go all big, green and angry on me." I provoke him further, there is something about him that makes this a lot funnier.
"Whatever." the big man finally resigns to my pushing, although I still remain a sizable distance away from him. After sitting in complete silence for the next hour practice ends and the attractive girl comes up to the guy sat next to me, veins still popping from his neck. As soon as she reaches us she turns or rather spins to me.
"Welcome to the team." she claps her hands together.
"You've got to be kidding me, no way this is the new guy. He's practially Wally!." he stands up in disbelief, when the girl gives him a stern look he stomps off like a child.
"Can someone tell me what the Guardians is going on?" I askthe joyful looking girl.
"Well Kyle, you are now apart of our team. I can't wait to show you the others, I think you will like Wally." she cheesily smiles, a part of me thinks there is more to this girl than meets the eye.
"I knew I was going into a program for teenagers, but... wait... how do you know my name? " I raise an eyebrow and she blushes in what I guess is guilt.
"I looked into your mind, might I say you was hard to break into." she casually states like she totally just didn't violate my privacy. Next she leans in cups her hands over my right ear. "I'm Miss Martian." she whispers and then steps back to a standing position. That's so awesome. My ring told me everything about the Martians, they are totally a cool race compared to the 639 million, five hundred thousand and forty two others in the universe. "hey, I think it's time to go to Mount Justice. The teleporter is just next to school."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I prefer to fly." I give a quick smirk before willing my Green Lantern uniform into existance. Now it's her turn to look in awe.
"Did you just do that with your thoughts?" she mumbles, still awestruck by the bright green pulsating around my body.
"No. Pure Willpower baby!." I give a quick salute before launching into the air and zoom off, the relaxing gushes of wind rolling over my face.
Wait? Where am I going again?
