Chapter 1

I don't own any of GLTAS. This takes place roughly three years after the series ends.


Hal was spraying on his cologne as he humming, the finishing touch for his date with Carol. She didn't like when he over did it, but she did like a little bit. He picked up a small pin, shaped like one of his favorite figher jets and stuck it through the folded collar of his jacket. "Ahh...!" He hissed softly as the point pricked his finger, then snapped the backing onto the pin. "Well, no pain no gain..." He muttered softly. Smiling, he stepped back and studied himself in the mirror.

The dark jacket matched his dark blue dress pants. He left the jacket undone and hanging loosely over his white dress shirt. Hal smiled at his reflection and winked. Then, since he was alone in his apartment, snapped his fingers and pointeed his index fingers at the reflection, his thumbs pointed at the ceiling. "Looking good, handsome! Just don't steal my date from me..."

Suddenly, a familiar beeping sounded from inside his pocket causing Hal to jump, thinking he'd been caught. He smiled sheepishly at his equally embarrassed reflection. Sighing, he took his ring from his pocket. "Oh, c'mon...can't the universe's existence wait to be threatened until my date with Carol?"

"Green Lantern Hal Jordan." The ring stated in its monotone voice. "Please note that there is a teleportation portal opening in five seconds...four seconds...three seconds..."

As Hal stared at his ring confused, a flurry of small white lights, almost like snowflakes, appeared leaving a slender creature in their wake. He jumped at the close proximity of the creature and immediately put his ring on. "Could be a little quicker with the warning next time..." Hal grumbled at the ring as his uniform appeared and he lowered into a defensive stance, raising his glowing ring. "Who are you and what are you doing here, interrupting my date?"

The creature looked around the room curiously. It was covered head to toe in clothes that were a deep blue, like navy. It stood on two legs with small bands at the elbows and knees, creating flowing sleeves and flowing pants-like bottoms. A hood was pulled over the head, with a headband obscuring the forehead and something that resembled a scarf wrapped around the lower half of the face. All Hal could see of the humanoid figure were eyes that were cloaked in the hood's shadow. The fingertips barely passed the sleeves and her feet barely showed beneath the bottom of her pants, he thought he saw four toes, but instead of a nail, each seemed to end in a small sharp talon,

All in all the creature looked fairly harmless, being only slightly shorter than him and seeming, now that he observed closer, to have the physical build of a petite human female, but if there was one thing Hal had learned, it was that looks could very easily be deceiving.

"Who. Are. You." Hal carefully said each word. Was his universal translator on the fritz again? He knew he had remembered to charge his ring this time!

Finally, it seemd to notice his presence. The hood slid back just enough to expose the eyes to the light. They were wide and innocent looking, a deep shade of brown, but they seemed oddly transparent. Lines shone in the eyes as though connecting to the center of the eyeball instead of the pupil. Hal stood, lowering his arm. "Whoa..."

The eyes crinkled, like it was smiling. "Hello, there..." The voice that came out was soft and sweet sounding, very feminine. "You are Green Lantern Hal Jordan, correct? Of sector 2814?"

Hal stood dumbfounded by the sweet creature for a moment before regaining his composure. "Uhhh...yeah! That's me! The one and only good ole' Green Lantern of sector 2814." It tilted his head at this. He smiled, suddenly feeling at ease with the creature. " Can I ask your name?"

It nodded. "I apologize for any impoliteness on my part. My name is Krishna. I am also a female of my species." She laughed lightly as though this was quite amusing. "I didn't want there to be confusion on this. It is a big universe after all." She was sudddenly serious. "I am quite pleaased to have found you so easily, Hal Jordan." Stepping forwrad, she took his left hand in both of hers. Hal noticed her skin had a very faint blue tinge and, like her feet, each of the four digits and thumb ended in a small claw. "I require your assistance as soon as possible."

He looked at her puzzled then sighed. The universe really did have something against him having one uninterrupted dinner date with Carol didn't it? "Alright, but can I make a call first?"


After apologizing at least a hundred times to Carol, Hal hung up and turned to the girl. She was curled up on his couch, sitting sideways and slouching against the back of the couch, her eyes closed. He was tempted to remove the hood and see if he recognized the species, but then her eyes fluttered open sleepily. Her lids hung, half-closed as she looked around, as though she had forgotten where she was, until her eyes landed on Hal and opened fully.

He came over and sat by her feet. "Hey...everything alright?"

"Ye...yes..." Slowly, she sat up. "It...is quite draining to teleport far distances. I had to train for a very long time before even learning the skill. It is only because my hope for finding you was so strong I was able to teleport to you at all."

"Wait. Wait. Wait. 'Hope'? Are you saying you are some kind of blue lantern?" He reassessed her attire and it certainly didn't scream "blue lantern."

She shook her head patiently. "I need to discuss something of more urgent importance with you, Hal Jordan." Hal let her drop the topic, but made a mental note to get back to it later.

"Please. Call me Hal."

"Hal..." She tested the word on her lips and her eyes crinkled again, as though she were smiling.

"So, what is it that requires my attention?" He wondered what it could be. A feuding homeworld, a threat to Earth, an alien cat stuck in a tree...

"I need your help to bring Aya back."

Hal's eyes widened and he stared at the girl, for once in his life, completely, and utterly speechless. Then the stream of questions began.

"What do you mean bring Aya back? How? When? Does Razer know? Does anyone know? What do you mean by "back"? How is that possib..." She quickly put a hand over his mouth, effeectively silencing him.

"I mean exactly what I said. I wish to bring Aya back. As for Razer...he does not yet know. I need to collect a few more things before his role comes into play." It may have been his imagination, but Hal could have swore he saw a deeper blue appear around the edge of the scarf, when she mentioned Razer's name, almost as though she were blushing. He was too in shock to really take much note.

It had been roughly three years since Aya had sacrificed herself to eliminate her "threat" to the universe. He hadn't seen Razer since he had departed from Oa shortly after, but once in a while different green lanterns told him stray rumors they heard that might be associated with Razer. None had reported him committing criminal acts, but none had announced he had found Aya either. Of course he still had missions here and there from the guardians and he always kept an ear and eye out for Razer, but to no avail.

"So what do you need me for...?" He said the words slowly, as though he was afraid he'd frighten her off. Hal was rarely ever purely serious, outside of in the middle of a fight, but this was serious.

"I need you to gather six gallons of pure Earth water and meet me back here. We will then need to go to the Interceptor, which is currently right outside Earth's gravitational pull, and go to Oa to get Green Lantern Kilowog."

Hal nodded as though all this made perfect sense. "Alright...and all this will help us bring Aya back?"

She nodded. "They are only the beginning...the first steps...but yes."

"Then let's go."


Alright so my second ever fanfiction! Well, everyone seems to be liking my first one so I decided to write another and have two going in case I get stuck or whatnot. I'm going to try to keep the characters limited to those purely GLTAS, but Krishna is my key to bringing back Aya, which is why she had the lengthy description. Of course if I go out of character or use something that conflicts with our beloved GLs let me know please. Thank you for reading! More to come soon! Enjoy and please review!
