AN: I have no idea what I'm doing or where this is going, i just know I love this ship and wanted to do a fic about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters and if I doubt anybody ever made money from fanfiction.

Razer stepped into the shower and turned up the hot water. No not hot, scalding hot. Just the way he liked it. That burning sensation across his skin that helped him focus, forget everything for a short period of time. As he let the boiling hot water rush over his body, he noticed the liquid temperature was actually dropping steadily, till it reached a lukewarm comfortable caloric content. But he didn't want comfortable so he turned up the touchscreen fawcett again.

And again the water turned cooler. He let out a confused grunt and stretched his hand to turn up the heat again.

"That is not the optimal temperature for the hygienic activities" a familiar voice chirped and Razer jumped.

The shower cabin was surrounded by an opaque light curtain that covered everything for reason of modesty. He peered through the light rays and sure enough, saw Aya standing there, their noses almost touching. Razer glared at her.

"What did I tell you about personal space, robot?" he asked through gritted teeth.

A click was heard out of Aya's voicebox and then a perfect recording of Razer's voice from a past incident was broadcast: "GET OUT OF MY QUARTERS YOU INFERNAL AUTOMATON!".

"Though I fail to see the relevance of that statement since we are not presently in your quarters" Aya said, and he could almost detect the smugness in her tone.

"Yes, well... The principle of the thing still applies, so please, take your leave" he said getting back to the activity of washing.

"I wish to converse with you" Aya demanded.

"Not now. I'd like to be a little more relaxed and a little less naked if I have to deal with you."

"When you are done then, but Razer..."

"Yes..." he offered frustrated.

"Since you have been onboard, you have been in sleep stasis for 176 hours, have taken 67 showers, consumed nourishment 113 times and relieved yourself 89 times"

Razer was happy his back was to Aya and there was an opaque light curtain between them, because he didn't want the artificial being to see his look of utter embarrassment and what he assumed was deep red spreading across his otherwise perfectly pale cheeks. Both pairs probably.

"Just wanted to note... your state of undress is nothing I haven't seen before" Aya concluded and walked out of the bath.

Razer realised he was covering himself instinctively and looking around the shower cabin a bit more insecure than before Aya dumped that little bit of information on him.

…

All washed up, and dried and back in his regular Red Lantern uniform, Razer stepped on to the command deck where Aya was waiting for him.

"What do you want?" he asked brusquely.

"We have arrived on Oa exactly 75 standard galactic hours ago"

"Yes... I don't need you to tell me that. What about it?"

"Since that time you haven't left the Interceptor... at all"

"Are you kicking me out?", he asked incredulously.

"Negative. But in order to prevent neural atrophy, you should engage in activities that stimulate you mentally and physically. 'Live a little', as Green Lantern Hal Jordan would say".

"I can do that here. There are still repairs to be done" he said and crossed his arms over his chest.

"And I'm sure you are more adequate to provide repairs than the people that actually designed and built this unit" she remarked.

"I don't want to go outside. I don't want to engage. I just want to be left ALONE!" he barked and felt his anger rising.

"If I'm keeping you or your precious ship body from anything, fine! I'll just leave Oa alltogether", he whirled around and was preparing to take off but Aya grabbed his ring hand.

"Apologies, that's not what I meant", she quickly blurted out.

Razer felt the tension leave his body at the sound of her pleading. He came back down from his hovering position but Aya was still holding his hand tight.

"Please don't leave. Your actions directly contributed to Oa's salvation... not to mention my own. I realise it must be difficult for you to adapt to the Oan landscape and interact with other Green Lanterns, since..."

"Since I'm still wearing Red", he interrupted looking down at their clasped hands, specifically at his ring that still hadn't seen fit to leave him. Even after Atrocitus was defeated, even after... the Star Sapphire... incident... his hate and rage still hadn't left him. But who was it directed at now?

"Yes", Aya replied following his gaze and then looking back up at his face. "But that's all the more reason you shouldn't isolate yourself. Please, let me give you a guided tour of Oa. And if your serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters are not innervated, I promise I will never bother you again"

"If my what and what do what?"

"If you don't like it."

"Oh"

There were no words in his vocabulary for how little he cared about actually seeing Oa. He barely tolerated two Green Lanterns, seeing and hearing and being subjected to hundreds of them and their incessant prattle was more than he would be able to withstand without going nuclear. And even though Oa was literally the center of the universe, the Guardians were still the people that were responsible for the destruction of an entire sector. So he wasn't about to act like a tourist in respect to their achievements.

But she was looking at him with those blue eyes of hers and he was actually tempted. If for nothing else than to please her, especially since he almost lost his temper just then. But that little nagging voice inside his head told him that surely she could be doing better things with her time than show him the sights.

"Look Aya, I appreciate it but..."

"The analysis of your facial features and pupil dilation seem to indicate you are going to refuse", she interrupted.

"Uhm, yeah... but"

"Right, I will initiate the 'hard way'".

"What is the hard wa... HEY!"

Quick as a flash she swiped his ring from his finger and launched herself off the floor.

"If you wish to retrieve your power ring... you will have to take it from me", she chirped and then flew out of the ship.

Razer was left there stunned in his civilian clothes. He then figured he could always fly after her in the ship. When he turned to the control panels the ship spoke up

"Don't even attempt it", Aya's voice rang through the space inside the command deck.

He cursed under his breath and gave chase.
