Prologue/Special: A New Emerald Light (Rebirth)


"My old man once told me. Fear is a lot like life it's all about choices. You can choose to give in and become lost in it, or you can choose to face it and find your way past it. Ultimately what matters most is who do you want to be? I still haven't figured out yet, but I can say this I'm definitely not afraid to find out."


2011 Dec. 24 15 12:00 pm - Coast City Juvenile Correction Facility


They say we create our own hells in life, never has that been more apparent for one fourteen year old boy within the walls of his isolated prison cell. However its not quite that simple. No his personal hell has been his time, four years taken from him. One massive mistake piled upon a childhood of mistakes, has landed him here; has taken his life away from him. Trapping him alone with his own pessimistic thoughts. When you know your losing years of time, being alone with your thoughts can be a VERY dark place...especially when you deserve it. Yes we build our own hells in this life, but only sometimes does someone come a long that was meant to suffer in them. With no escape in sight.

"Prisoner 2814...Cody...Tyler your lawyer's appeal for early parol has been approved, you're to be released today immediately." A prison guard said, before throwing a stack of clothes at the blonde haired boy, as he laid within his concrete four by four cell. His head rising so fast from his bunk, the light from his cell window blinded him for a few moments. "Get dressed your exit processing starts in the next few minutes."

"You don't say? And here I thought I was on the naughty list?" Cody sarcastically chuckled. Unable to believe he was getting off so early. He'd expected to carry out the rest of his sentence until he'd turned 18, and either got parol or a prison transfer.

"Funny make jokes kid, glad to see you think this is a mistake to." The guard spat, sliding open the door, letting Cody out after he'd changed outfits. "Kid or not that poor girl's still in a come, because of you. Her blood is enough reason to throw away the damn key."

Cody just stared dead eyed at the guard for a few moments. Like he needed a reminder of how he messed up! He'd only spent nearly three years having to think about that day, how her parents had shouted the most awful things he could imagine at him. If they'd had their way, he'd have gotten life in prison.

"Next time you feel like stating the obvious, just remember no one cares what you have to think, rent a cop...now get out of my way." Cody replied, masking the clear sense of depression and sadness, he's had to live with for all this time. Purposely shoving his wave past the guard towards the exit doors. Grinning at the first thing he saw to greet him outside.

"Hey there dummy. Hope you had fun, because your never getting rid of me again; jerk."

Cody just rolled his eyes playfully at her, of course she'd tried to break the ice with a joke.

"Its good to see you JT, now come on enough with the tough girl act we both know what you want to do?" He joked, spreading his arms open to hug her. "Their it is, just let it out. I'm never going to leave you alone again." muttering gently once she'd ran in his warm hug.

"Promise me right now, your done with that stuff. Auntie worked really hard to get you out early, you have to be good now...otherwise i'll smack you in your big dumb face." Jackie cried, while holding on tight not wanting to let go-out of fear of losing her big brother again.

"She's right Cody. It's time to just be a kid again alright?" Cody's Aunt Sally said, after she got down and hugged her niece and nephew.

It hadn't been easy, the injured girl's family fought her tooth and tail on getting her nephew out. She even had to dust off her law degree to even get in the same room with poor Cody. But after two long years, the coast city judge ruled in his favor. Stating that just because Cody had been the only one caught that night, shouldn't mean he be held accountable for the entire incident. Only for his part in it. And illegally driving a get away car under age, isn't worth longer then he'd been alive behind bars.

"Well you kind of have me in a bind here girls, alls I can do is try my best." Cody said to his family with a fake grin, he didn't deserve this second chance and it killed him, but they needed this more than him. His family worked hard for this day, only a monster would take it away from them, so if that meant putting on a show for them than so be it.


Two Months Later Feb.15 (earth date 2012)- Time Unknown- Edge of space sector 2807


The galaxy was very quiet the peaceful silent of the universe mixing well, with the thousands of wondrous colors a combination of different planets and stars all making one unified universal piece of art...the galaxy or space sector if you will. It was beyond comprehension in beauty. To stand among the cosmos protecting it, truly felt like a higher purpose in life. Normally Green Lantern Jek would simply just spend his time staring at the cosmos, almost waiting for it stare back at him...but not today no today was horrible. Made evident by the many green energy constructs, formed by him in a attempt to stop his pursuer from getting closer...damn and it was such a lovely day before this to!

"You cannot escape me for long lantern, once I'm on the hunt I never stop until my prey's been slain. Your power ring will join the others I've collected from other of your corpsmen!" The massive cloaked figure chasing him roared, continuing to chase him through the reaches of space. "Ru from it, embrace it, either way your death is coming and it will be glorious!"

Not wanting to give this bastard the satisfaction, Jek just stayed focused on out running him, and his damn red blasts.

"Ring status report how's our situation! How far are we from the nearest GL?" The tall blue skinned green lantern begged his power ring.

"Status report: power levels at 60% and dropping readily, closest green lantern is in space sector 2814, and green lantern 2807 has sustained serious injures and is bleeding internally. Suggest lantern Jek escape and seek immediate medical attention."

"Well…that's just wonderful to hear I'm losing my charge, and I'm still sectors away from help." Briefly face palming himself at the hopelessness of his situation. He was going to have to wing this. Do everything he could to reach space sector 2814. His emerald aura burning brighter than it had before, and his speed skyrocketing him forward towards the sector.

"Oh that's adorable you think if you raise the speed with your remaining power you can out run me, or reach help in time…prepare to be mistaken my little friend." The cloaked being laughed as a red aura exploded around him, closing the gap between them once more.


2012 Feb 15 8:00 pm - Coast City


"Still the strong silent type huh kid?'" The gang leader joked, tapping Cody over the shoulder from behind the drivers seat. "Don't worry, one big score tonight, and you should be set for months."

"...Yeah...sure." Cody muttered, pulling the get away car into the alley like they'd planned. Trying his best to ignore them. Already hating himself for breaking his promise, not even three months after making it...But he didn't have any options left. He really had tried. Applied to schools for the next semester like his family wanted, but none would touch him with his record. Even the few places that were willingly to hire a kid, shot him down just as fast. And his aunt was terrible at hiding her exhaustion from working two jobs.

So he'd gone back to the only thing, he'd ever been any good at-driving fast. Life seemed so much simpler when you blasted across the road, like none of it's problems or in Cody's case his mistakes could catch up with him. His dad taught him that years ago, when he'd taken him to the edge of Coast City, and let him drive back. Sometimes they'd even stop to watch the jets take off from Ferris Air's runway. Their was even a time he saw Green Lantern fly and his heart had just about stopped. "I want to fly to"

Cody then sighed staring at his eyes in the rear view mirror, those days feeling like a life time ago. "I'm sure dad would be real proud of you huh?" A knot forming in his gut at how disappointed his father would have been in him, knowing he used these skills to commit crimes. Even more so that he'd used them to basically run over a families entire lives...But even if he couldn't look himself in the eyes anymore, he wasn't just going to ignore "his" families money issues either.

"It's not that bad if we're just taking from the real bad guys." Cody thought. Pulling his mask on over his face, if he was going to make himself into a liar, then at least it was going to be on his terms. Looking up at the Damage Faction savings and loans building. A national bank that made millions off of going in and rebuilding after the "heroes" demolished entire city blocks. Of course they also evicted people from their homes once they rose the value of the neighborhoods.

"You guys understand me quick smash and grab, after tonight we're all leaving with a major score." A tall muscular man said to the rest of his crew as they got ready.

"I'm not using this, that wasn't part of the deal!" Cody shouted, when they dropped on the passengers seat. Just looking at the damn thing made him want to hurl, let alone touch it. He was here to open the door and drive faster then any cops or security that was it!

"Fine, but don't blame me if things go to hell in there. You're on your own if any capes show up." The led robber answered, gesturing for Cody to get out and follow them. The young man taking out a tool kit to pick the lock. He had to pick up a hobby when he was locked up, and he'd gotten real good at this particular one.

"Here get these ready."

"And these are what exactly?" Cody asked, confused after the leader dropped a mystery box at his feet. Opening it to see a dozen weird looking balls. a few small EMP grenades frying the cameras and some of internal security.

"Pal of my mine is one of those baddies the league takes on and owed me a favor. These babies will knock any security cameras and alarms, we just have to be faster then the reboot time."

"Which is?" Cody questioned, already not liking this plan. This was not going to be a simple smash and grab like he'd been promised he could already feel it.

"Just about 25 minutes, plenty of time to crack open their safe. Just focus the escape route once you have your cut." The thug relied, tossing in the emp grenades and frying their systems.


Feb.15 (earth date)- Time Unknown- Edge of space sector 2813


"Ring status report are we in sector 2814 yet?" Lantern Jek asked, rushing away for deer life so fast he felt like parts of him were breaking apart. "Don't look back, don't look back!" Thinking over and over again as he felt the red glow practically nipping at his neck. He couldn't keep this going forever and to many times already this stadistic freak has landed a hit on him. Only what was starting to feel like a very thin layer of constructs had forced that gap between them…for now.

"Currently passing from space sector 2813 into space sector 2814 emergency SOS sent to green lanterns of that sector. Power levels at 30% after speed increase to reach this location."

His pursuer screaming in animalistic rage as he neared his prey. "If your not going to fight back, then you are beginning to bore me lantern. For that you will die slow." Hurling blazing hot chained arrow constructs of red energy at him. He was done giving chase it was time to bring this to an end, for the best part of the hunt...the kill.

"Are you insane what kind of idiot would just lay down and die oh so "gracefully" like you said! Oh this is going to sting I just know it!" Jek before he created a massive green wall of light behind him to take the arrows.

"You think a wall will save you, disappointing you lack imagination." He retorted, his red chains moving to his thoughts, by passing the wall and around Jek. Choking the life out of him in place.

"Heavy damage sustained Lantern Jek life signs beginning to spike uncontrollably, danger...danger...DANGER!"

Jek choking up blue blood, while he felt his bones cracking into ribbons.

"You won't get what your after for you animal, I'd rather die than let you disgrace the corps. by taking it as another trophy." He spat through the pain.

"Oh your death was always part of the plan Lantern, but you'll live long enough to see me rip the ring from your hand, and add it to my collection." The cloaked countered. Revealing a necklace of de-powered lantern rings around his neck.

"No, not again you won't have the pleasure of hurting another of the corps. I will be the last...I'm not afraid." Jek proclaimed, making his peace with what had to happen, closing his eyes, and removing his own ring. His protective green aura and GL uniform fading into nothingness within an instant. The cold embrace of the void taking him, freezing every part of him, stealing his vision from him.

But with one final deep breath, tearing open his lungs in the vacuum, he threw his ring as far as he could muster. Sparking it to life-enacting the replacement scan protocol into sector 2814. As he watched it raced off in a emerald trail of light, Jek closed his eyes ready for his page in the book of OA.

"Oh no I am not done with you yet." The cloaked beast laughed, engulfing Jek in another RED protective layer; tightening his grip hard around his neck holding him. "You will take your failure into the grave lantern. All you have done is forced a poor rookie to fight in your stead." Pulling the defeated man eye to eye with him. "Now Atrocious gets to kill them to."

With a twisted grin the Red lantern then shattered Jek's neck, taking in every moment as the former GL's eyes rolled back into his head, and his body went limp. Dropping the body to float endlessly in space, before turning to track the direction of the ring.

"I will find you lantern, just wait for me until then."

Ring status report: lantern 2807 deceased, scan of nearest sector 2814 for emergency replacement sentient initiated…scanning…scanning…scanning…sentient found"


Feb 15 8:45 pm - Coast City


"You know the rules, you carry your own weight." The led robber said.

The job had started off well so far, Cody had done his part well enough, and so did the rest of the crew. One man cracked the vault open, revealing stacks of cash just there for the taking. It had been more money then the 14 year old had ever seen in his life. And now the muscles of the team were on look out while everyone went in loading their own personal bags of loot.

With no idea where to stop, feeling the his stop watch ping into the final ten minutes, Cody had just grabbed as much as his bag he could carry. High tailing it back to the alleyway, not realizing he'd tripped a silent alarm when he'd picked the lock moment ago. Ducking into the shadows once he felt something zoom by him.

"You know if you wanted to take out a deposit, the bank does have day time hours right?" Wally West joked, after knocking one of the crew square in the jaw. "You guys don't mind if I take these right...yeah didn't think so?" Kicking the thugs sack of cash to the side of the room, behind him.

"I did not sign up for this, they promised me no capes!" Cody thought panicked as the rest of the gang pulled out their guns, and the other members of Kid Flash's team broke through the windows surprising them.

"Dammit you had one job Kite-man, argh amateur!" The led robber yelled before the shooting started, turning the room into a battle zone. KF zooming around them either grabbing their shots in bullet time, or just knocking away their weapons.

"Not like this, not like this!" Cody screamed in his mind, they hadn't found him yet, but he wasn't going to stay lucky forever. Thinking quickly as more heroes showed up and started capturing his crew, he b-lined straight for an air vent, and started to crawl his way to the roof; hoping he wasn't seen in the chaos. He hadn't given them his real name, so all he had to do was make it to the car and get the hell out of there.

"Alright points for thinking on your feet, but I just gotta know did you really think it would be that easy?" Nightwing asked, clapping sarcastically once Cody pulled himself out onto the roof and back to his feet.

"…you're going to laugh at this, but I was hoping you'd think it was to obvious an escape route." Cody replied, dusting himself off to look at the black haired teen. Who paused to playfully laugh at his remark.

"Oh I like you kid, but how about we just talk this one out. You just got mixed up with the wrong crowd, that much is clear, no need to escalate this." Nightwing said, walking right up to Cody, towering over him. Looking him right in the eyes when he scowled back at him.

"…You don't know anything about me, I came here for this, and I'm not leaving without i!" He yelled, leaping in to punch Nightwing only to have him step out of the way, grab his arm, and flip his whole body onto the ground.

"You've got spirit kid, but their isn't a chance at all you can win this. So just walk away and I'll pretend I didn't see you dude." Dick Grayson exclaimed.

"I have had a enough of your freaking pity!" He said. Rolling to the side away from Dick, climbing back to his feet again. He wasn't a great fighter, but when word had gotten around about why he'd been locked up, Cody had to become a quick study. Maybe just maybe if he could knock him over, get his weight on top of him, then he might stand chance. "It's time to go for broke!" Tossing his bag into the air and charging at Nightwing.

"That's how you wanna play it fine, but I gave you an out kid." He said with a sigh. Taking a defensive stance to block Cody's punches, only to be knocked over once his charge turned into a slide; sweeping Nihgtwing's legs collapsing from under him.

"Misdirection huh?" Dick answered, rolling away like Cody had back to his stance. "Sloppy or not, you clever I will give you that one." Grabbing Cody's fist when he came in for another hit.

"I'll show you sloppy!" Cody yelled, doing the only thing he could think of and head butting his opponent. Knocking them both back with slitting headaches.

"Ok now this is just getting ridiculous, don't you have parent's kid. Someone who worrying about you right now. What would they think right now?"

"Stop trying to "save" me, we're not the same. Not everyone gets to be batman's little side kick and live the easy life." He shouted. Getting promptly knocked back down by an angered Nightwing

"Don't you dare make assumptions about me. That is it! If you want to do this the hard way well I'm game for that to." Nightwing said. Taking out his batons, inching slowly towards Cody.

Needing to think of something quick Cody started to back up slowly towards the edge of the roof. He was running out of time and room to run, unless he came up with a plan this was it. Tilting his head back and forth once he didm trying to desperately consider something else.

"Their he is thats the real Nightwing, cold with just a hint pettiness just like batman. Like your so much better then me, then all of us. Guess what i've been looked down on by people like you my whole life, your not special!" Jumping straight towards the bag of money, but before he could make his move from there was promptly struck in the throat.

"Just stop talking dude, you need to breath slow otherwise its only going to hurt more." Sliding down to his knees to look Cody in the eyes again, still impressed he had so much fight in them. "Alright you guys can come out, he's done." He said.

The Aqualad and Robin II, jumping down from another rooftop, having been there the whole time. Making Cody take several pissed off gasps of air, he wouldn't have made it even if Nightwing had let him win. This had just been a damn game to them!

Aqualad just scowling down at Cody as he walked past him. His condescending judgment clear as day to him. "It was a noble endeavor, but you gave him enough chances Nightwing. Now it's time he learns his actions have consequences."

"Still one thing left I can do...dammit this whole night was for nothing!" Cody thought, reaching one last time for his bag, and in a move none of the heroes could believe; tossed it at them. Scattering it everywhere in a smoke screen and jumping over to the next building in the confusion. He'd never done that before, idiot didn't even heisistate to think he might hit the edge and fall to his death, he just rolled through the pain in his knees after landing, and ran. Sliding down the fire escapes and disappearing into the alleyways.

"Don't send Kid Flash after me, don't send kid flash after me!"

"D...did he actually just do that Dick? After getting his butt handed to him, h...he just tossed it?" Jason Todd asked his friend confused, still needing a few seconds to process what just happened.

"Kid's smart knew he couldn't beat all of us, realized what had really just gone down when you two came." Nightwing answered, placing his open palm to his forehead to gauge the direction Cody had just gone.

"If he's really that clever old friend. Than i'd wager this isn't all the profit he stole?" Aqualad asked already knowing Dick's answer from his smirk.

"Oh yeah he 100% stole some before tossing it, lets send Wally and Megane out after him. He won't get far with those two on his tail."


Feb 15 9:35 pm - Coast City


"This is karma I swear it is, I broke my promise and this is life punishing me for it!" Cody thought as he kept running, his bruised throat making each breath feel like needles in his chest as he did so. He'd seen the cops roll by to wrap up the heroes clean up, forcing him to take routes into parts of the city he'd try to avoid. He wasn't stupid, it wouldn't take them long to guess he still had his pockets stacked from his cut. And now he'd made things personal by calling them all out during his fight with Nightwing.

"Just stay calm and focus." His father's words echoing in his mind, he'd been so scared back when they'd first gone out to drive. Almost running into a lamp-post as a kid, but his dad always calmed him with those words. It took months for them to sink in and to take root, but they'd helped him back then. Now though they just reminded him what his life could have been, if he just kept his head down. He'd never have hurt anyone that like that, hell maybe he'd even have grown up into a race car driver liked he'd always wanted.

"NO DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT! STAY IN THE HERE AND NOW!" He shouted blocking out the words so he could stay focused. This night had gone horribly, but if he could just make it back over the tracks, then it wouldn't take long until he was home again. "They didn't see my face, and they haven't found me yet, just RUN!"

Almost as if on queue, just as he rounded a corner something stole his attention away once again. The gun shots stopping him dead in his tracks, blasting his head in the direction they were coming from. "What I wouldn't give to live in a normal world." Thinking once he saw a maniac in a black and orange outfit chasing after a young couple.

Cody wanted to move, just run away, but he was to scared to make a sound. His heart racing worried even more that the heroes would find him if he stayed even longer. This was just too much, he just wanted to make some quick cash and leave.

"It's none of my business...its none of my business." He said turning away from the cornered couple. If he just ignored it things would be fine, now wasn't the time to be something he's not. The real heroes would be here soon, they'd take care of everything. He needed worry about staying alive, how devastated his sister would be if he'd thrown his life away.

"Just think about Jackie...think about...about..." Making a choice when he heard the assassin, fire off a round and knee cap one of the couple. "HEY YOU LEAVE THEM ALONE!" His body pulling him forward, against his better judgment. Tossing a rock at the gunmen's crazy black and orange mask.

"Back off kid, my employer just wants them." Deathstroke said, after grabbing the rock and crushing it in his hand. Staring with his one good eye at Cody, who'd placed himself between him and the couple.

"W...who are you." They both asked desperately in unison

"Your dead if you don't move in ten seconds kid." Deathstroke having none of this exclaimed, aiming his gun at Cody now.

"I'm not leaving and I SAID GET AWAY FROM THEM!" He shouted at Deathstroke, who just face palmed backed.

Without a word Slade, shot a bullet past Cody's head; just barely missing it and drawing blood from his cheek. He then clicked the pin back and aimed at him again.

"The next time won't be a warning shot kid, it's going in your stomach...Walk away."

"I...I'm not going to let you hurt them. i...i'm not scared of y...you." Grabbing a thick broken pipe to wave him back. "I just won a fight against Nightwing tonight!" Hoping to intimidate him away. Slade calling his bluff almost immediately

"Well i've fought batman several times punk, how about yourself?" Walking over to shove Cody out of the away, save himself some ammo once he froze.

"I...I...I SAID GET BACK!"

"Being able to walk away from a fight doesn't make you tough kid, and being stupid doesn't make you a hero." Slade replied, splicing the pipe to pieces with one of his katanas, once Cody lunged at him. Knocking him back into a brick wall.

"WAIT!" Cody yelled, emptying his pockets and throwing all his cash at Deathstroke's feet. "You're some kind of hired killer right, how about… just pay you off would that work for you?"

When he waited for Deathstroke to answer, he just remained silent. Tearing off the rest of Cody's ski mask. Revealing his young appearance. Blonde hair, green eyes, and a new thin bleeding cut on his right cheek.

"Sorry not how this works kid, this is about more than money I have a reputation." Digging the tip of his sword into Cody's chest backing away into the alley. "I'll give you one more chance I'm feeling unnaturally nice tonight. Just leave." Saying as he pulled his gun out again and placed it on Cody's forehead.

"I've done some bad stuff, but I...won't just walk away and let you kill these people." Looking back at Deathstroke with determination, standing his ground. "I love you Jackie." He thought closing his eyes, he wasn't going to be afraid if he was going to lose everything. Then at least it would be letting his sister know her older brother wasn't a scumbag coward who lied to her.

That was until a green light, ripped down from the heavens like a shooting star. Flying straight towards him, saying the words;

"Cody Tyler of Earth you have shown the ability to overcome great fear, you have been chosen welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

In that instant after the ring latched itself onto his hand, Cody was engulfed in a green light, and his clothes were covered up. He now was wearing, a black and green under shirt, white pants, a green trench coat with a lantern symbol on the back, and a pair of black gloves and boots. But it only got weirder from there once he lifted up off the ground.

"Huh wha…whats going on? Why's it so bright now…oh crap!" Cody shouted after opening his eyes, and realizing their was still a good aimed at him. And in a second, blasting the trained killer back with a green wave of energy.

"You just got climbed up on my kill list brat!"

"I don't understand anything that's happening!" He panicked, wrapping himself up in a protective green bubble. Watching in utter shock as the clips just bounced off it like nothing.

"Well to bad for you I do, and I've beaten him before to." Slade said, throwing neuro toxin dart at him…actually more like five darts just to make sure he got through the aura. Then Cody dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"Just take the deal I offered you before ok, I'll give you everything I have and it's a lot trust me, and I'll I'll…" Cody bargained once Slade, aimed for his head again.

"I don't take I owe yous."

"Why not? Think about what I can do, how is a guy who can fly not useful?"

"...Fine. Your just lucky I'm not getting paid enough for this. But you did still piss me off too." He accepted, whipping Cody in the gut with his elbow knocking the wind out of him for the last time tonight. His boots the last things he saw as he passed out.

"Well you've had a LONG night haven't you buddy? But where does that leave us now?" Nightwing dropping down, having just gotten here toward the very end. Ready to jump in and help, but had his mind blown by this kid getting chosen by a lantern ring. "Ah I'll think of something, just rest." Picking Cody up and over his shoulder.


Feb. 16th 11:30 am- Hall of justice public meeting room


"And now I guess that brings me to here now, Nightwing found me after I passed out, and I was told contacted Hal Jordan and John Stewart two of earths Green Lanterns…other lanterns I guess and told them all about what happened to me."

"Now that's a very interesting story Mr...?"" Batman questioned Cody with a no nonsense tone, looking not at him but through him.

"Ah I'd rather not say, if that's alright."

Bruce narrowing his cowls eye slid's not liking that answer.

"If he doesn't want to tell us his name it's fine. No need to be scared lantern." Superman chimed in with a smile, hearing Cody's heart race from Bruce laying into him. "He's just a kid."

"One who now can use one of the most powerful objects in the universe, and somehow fought off a skilled assassin. Things don't add up and I don't like that." Batman replied, folding his hands across his part of the leagues meeting table.

"He's not just a kid." Hal said giving Cody a supportive pat on the back. "He's a green lantern now, and that's good enough for me."

"Me to." John Stewart agreed, standing next to Cody like Hal just did.

"I think it's awesome, he's a green lantern that's so...COOL!" Billy Batson cheerfully proclaimed, letting his real age show, and getting up to shake Cody's hand.

"...Thanks." He said nervously taking Billy's hand, not realizing that he was actually older then Captain Marvel. Chocking his weird behavior up to him just being the happy member of the league.

Batman sighed knowing when he was out voted, he'd have his concerns answered, but on his own terms it would seem.

"...ah what happens to me now." Cody asked the justice league members speaking with him.

"Well ordinarily you'd go to OA now, but since your well…a kid theirs some problems with that. You're going to need a lot of help getting used to all this new power, before you have any chance of lasting there. So you have two choices, option one you can have Hal or John take you anyway." Superman said.

"And option two?"

"Option two is you join a team of young people like yourself with powers, your choice of course?" Hal said to Cody, who was getting more and more lost with each second.

"I guess go with option 2, I'd rather stay here on earth anyway, and joining a team sound alright with me." He answered. The league gesturing for Billy to take him back into the waiting room after he did.

"So have you made anything yet with your ring?" Billy asked Cody, before the doors shut behind them.

"Bruce was right are we sure it alright just letting a kid have that much power; when he doesn't know how to use it? He could hurt himself or god forbid someone else." Wonderwoman said, addressing her own concerns to the other league members.

"It's not our call the ring chooses its own wielder, it saw something in him that makes him different. Every newbie lantern has trouble at first, you guys should have seen Guy the week after getting his ring. " Hal laughed, doing his best to alleviate their worries.

"It troubles me as well. He doesn't just want to keep his name a secret, I sensed something else." Martian Manhunter added, with great concern in his voice.

"Trust is a two way street, he has to want to answer our questions before we'll ever know anything. Regardless however, that boy's still the fourth green lantern chosen from earth. That means a lot of responsibility, he's going to grow up faster than a normal boy now." Black Canary spoke up making her thoughts clear to her friends.

"Joining the team and being around others dealing with the same problems, will help him come to terms with this new part of his life." Superman said supporting Canary's assessment of Cody.

"Agreed" Hal and John said together.


A/N


Ok so I started this series as a way to help build up hype for Young Justice S3, back when it's fate was still up in the air. And as GL is my favorite super hero I decided to make one about an OC GL joining the team. And as I still have every "Season's" ending planned out (I always plan the endings first, and work my way backwards in my fic's), I thought why not bring it back, now that S3 is happening this year.


Heres what you need to know

1) This series takes place two years into the 5 year time skip between S1 & S2
2) It's going to end in 2015, just a year before S2
3) I'm rewriting the earlier chapters, since their were grammar issues and I needed to make some story elements less cluttered
