Jennifer-Lynn Hayden.
The First Female Green Lantern.
This is what the plate on the front of the monument said. The statue of Jade, as her friends called her, stood over six feet high.
Abigail Hunter, the newest female Green Lantern, stood looking up at it respectfully.
Jade had been an inspiration to them all, she reflected. A hope.
Being the first female Green Lantern, she marked a path that several others had treaded.
Turning away, Abigail walked slowly back up the hallway of fallen Super Heroes on her way to the Hall of Justice.
The Zeta Tubes took her to the Watchtower, where she walked in on a meeting of the Justice League.
She looked for her mentor, Hal Jordan, in the group and stood against the wall, waiting for the meeting to end.
When the meeting ended, Hal came over. "Is there something you wanted?"
She opened her mouth and closed it again. She shook herself and tried again. "I received a distress call in the Almerac system. Should we check?"
Hal contemplated.
"Yeah. Let's go. I'll tell Batman."
"Come on, Dreamer, let's go," Hal teased. Abigail looked away from the view of planet Earth, her home, and nodded. They were on the Watchtower, and preparing to leave.
"I'm coming," she said. "I was just saying goodbye to Earth again. You know it's my favorite planet."
"I thought you liked other planets," Hal said.
"I do. But this is home, and I love it. We can go now." She walked towards the Javelin that they were to take. "Are you coming?"
Hal grinned and followed her up the ramp.
Abigail stared out the window of their Javelin in curiosity. "Is that it?"
"Yeah," Hal nodded.
"Are we going down now?"
"Hang on and let me check our readings," Hal told her. He stood up a few minutes later. "Ok, now we can go."
As they flew out of the spaceship, she looked about the surface quietly. Hal began to explain the mission.
"We have to meet with the person that sent out the distress signal in the first place. There have been at least three supervillians that the Justice League has taken on, Mongal, Maxima, and Ultraa. For all we know, one of them might be disrupting the peace."
"Or it could be something entirely new," Abigail reminded him.
"Or it could be something entirely new," Hal agreed.
They approached the shining city. Abigail looked up in wonder, shaking her black hair out of her green eyes. "So, what do the people here look like?" she asked.
"Bipedal. I dunno, probably somewhat humanoid," Hal said distractedly. She shook her head slightly and froze.
"Uh, Hal," she started. "There's somebody right there." She pointed to an imposing female form a few yards away. She was tall, with long bright red hair and a stoic face. She was wearing some kind of armor.
"Maxima," Hal breathed.
Well, what did you think?
Abigail won't be quiet and she's nagging me about the next chapter, so I'll update soon. (Ironic, Abigail is naturally quiet. What have I done.)
