Authors Note- (If you gave up trying to read this the first time because of confusing, haphazard timelines, then you're in luck! Because It has been re-written! Now the events are easier to follow, the character development makes better sense, and the Batman/Wonder Woman comes faster!)


In this story, I attempt to sculpt these Legends into what they were, humans. Imperfect, mistake making humans.

For romance, be patient, when this story starts they are but teenagers. I know that you might be upset, but don't worry, plenty of ships to sail.

The first chapter might put a lot of people off because it's about GL and I know not a lot of people like Hal much, and his pairing in the chapter might surprise you a bit. Please remember, they are a bunch of idiot teenagers, and this story is about how they mature, and how they grow in power. There are plenty of perspectives, you may see in the later chapters. I hope you like this new take of the DC universe and I hope that the Superman you see here will come to be viewed in reverence as an image of what we can all be.

I know some people are SM/WW shippers who dont like the idea of BM/WW and I am aware of this...In this story Clark IS infatuated with Diana. But that doesnt last very long...her feelings are complicated. As the story progresses, Bruce and Diana rediscover themselves, and Clark watches as they slowly fall for each other...

Okay now I know im ranting, but a few more things. One, this is my first story here, and I will try to reply to all reviews and PM's as I really appreciate feedback. I hope you keep an open mind while reading this.

Two, I know many of you thought my writing was bad the first time they tried to read this. I apologise and I hope this re-write is easier to follow.

CHAPTER-1 LANTERN ORIGIN

Deep Space Sector 27- Lantern Outpost Omega

The Green Lantern known as Kilowog had been stationed in the deep space sector of a galaxy known locally to the residents of the nearby Sol system as The Milky Way. The primitive planet's residents were bipedal humanoids evolved from basic life over a span of 3.5 billion planet rotations around their sun, with barely advanced technology and basic awareness of alien life. He felt no obligation to interact with the planets residents. They were beneath him.

He had used his ring to build a temporary outpost. He had been stationed here due to misconduct on an important mission, where in his rashness, he had jumped the gun. His mission, given to him personally by the guardians, was to prepare the primitive planets soon to be new initiate. The Lantern Abin Sur had been brutally murdered by a threat he could only with his dying breath tell the guardians about- Parallax. His ring had taken upon itself to find a new bearer, one worthy of matching up to the legend of Abin Sur. Kilowog was not a happy camper to find out that the ring had chosen this squabbling, yet to achieve planetary peace so very primitive planet. The Lantern from here, he anticipated, would be as rash as he was, if not more so. What he had seen of these "humans" was that they were not ready for the responsibilities of being Lanterns. Their History was a testimony to that. War constantly raged on the planet. But Kilowog had a small sliver of hope that the ring would choose the right person. It had been known for choosing rash and hard headed Initiates, but brave and true to heart people.

Kilowog patiently waited, the ring had entered the Sol System.


EARTH

A 14 year old Hal Jordan kicked around a football with some of his friends. It was high summer and the perfect time to play a friendly game. But Hals constant competitive behavior often gave the simple match an edge. He enjoyed the rush and the competition, but often liked to quietly mind his own business after the match, His friends seemed to enjoy his presence, although he didn't come too often. He would mostly come to play because his girlfriend, Diana, loved to watch. After, they would walk and catch up as they lived quite far from each other, and their parents weren't exactly supportive of their relationship. But he truly liked her, and she liked him since the 3rd grade. It sort of played out as soon as they reached 9th. But he always had competition. There were a few people he had had to bully around to get them to stay away from Diana.

Bruce Wayne was one of them. The 15 year old Bruce lived in the same apartment complex as Diana and her Mother, so things were complicated. Bruce's mother had passed away when he was 5, and he lived with his father...whom Hal was convinced was not his real parent. The man, Alfred, did NOT look anything like Bruce, and he was much too old.

Bruce hadn't really shown feelings towards Diana, but it was obvious as Bruce would flirt with her openly. He was popularly known as a dumbass. But Hal knew he wasn't half as dumb as he looked. He and that other kid, Clark Kent.

Now he was a real sketchy piece. He frequently bothered Diana and she did not like it. Neither did Hal. But the guy had something about him. He was always quiet, reserved…as if he knew something he didn't want to share with the rest of the world. He was completely nuts, but he managed to hide it.

He had a blog online, in which he frequented updates and boy, was he more than a little crazy. He had views on human psychology, basic human tendencies and the lot. But his writing wasn't really well known, and he wasn't really that popular in school, due to his notorious reputation of being bad at sports, and being careless to other people's emotions. In spite of knowing so much about humans, he reallllly wasn't that good at interacting with them. But he had a few friends…

Bruce, to name one. Clark and Bruce seemed to have some or the other big secret going on between them. When they came to play football, Bruce would play, he was pretty good, but Clark would just sit down, not even trying. That Hal could understand, he was horrible at it. Clark was a scrawny, thin, 15 year old and he had a mop of hair on his head that looked like he could probably use it to scrub the floors. Bruce and Hal, on the other hand, were known to be good lookers. Hal got his fair share of attention from the ladies, but ignored it mostly because of Diana. Bruce was a playboy in the strictest sense. He was only 15, after all. But Clark and Bruce had a lot in common. When playing football, he would sometimes look over at Clark on the benches with a twinkle in his eye and smile. Clark would nod as if he had some inside joke to share with him. What always upset Hal was that Diana would generally sit next to Clark while spectating.

Diana disliked Clark, as he would bother her quite a bit. But to be a nice person, Diana would give him company. She took pity on his loneliness. He seemed more interested in her than most people. Other than Bruce, that is. Bruce would openly stare at her as if she was the biggest prize he could possibly catch. The others playing football with them, would tease her about it.

Hals best friends were Barry and Victor. Barry was a thin 13 year old who was almost anorexic, he ate that less. Victor was an 11 year old football prodigy. The three friends, Hal, Barry and Vic, would often sit and chat after football. Clark and Bruce would go home, talking about something or the other.

This day was no different. Bruce walked out with his new girlfriend, today it was a "Selina" and Clark went home, sad and upset about his lack of friends. He's probably going to go home and write an article about Humans and their inability to accept weirdos in their friends circles.. Hal thought with a smirk. Diana held his hand as Barry walked up to them.

"So, where are you guys going today?"

"We thought we'd go for a walk then I'll drop Diana home, But I am not gonna stick around. Her mother doesn't like me very much…" Hal replied.

Diana rolled her eyes at Hal "My mother does NOT hate you.'

Hal smiled "C'mon Princess, let's go for a walk"

Victor laughed "Princess? That's a new one."

Diana looked at him. "Shut up, Kid, I like it"

Vic and Barry laughed as they walked away, talking something about who would win in a fight, The Hulk or Thor.

Hal rolled his eyes. "Nerds"

Diana looked up at him, smiling. Hal took her hand and they slowly walked around the park…the evening sky fading into night. Hal felt at peace. They walked for half an hour chatting about school and gossiping about the latest news.

Clark Kent had just done an enormously jerkish thing to do. He didn't have that many friends, but Karen was one of them. And he had made her hate him...Karen Starr was a 16 year old, amazingly beautiful, intelligent girl, who had oddly decided to have a crush on the group weirdo. Why, Hal had no idea. Diana also agreed that Karen could easily find better guys than Clark. It was fairly obvious that they wouldn't get together though. Clark had just spread a rumour that Karen had asked him out. Hal was pretty sure that wasn't true, but Clark was NOT the type to just randomly spread rumours.

Karen had found out, obviously. She broke his nose and told him never to talk to her again. Hal gripped Diana's hand tightly as they discussed ways of getting back at Clark Kent for hurting their friend. Diana made a quipping remark about breaking his nose again. Hal laughed and winked at her. "He probably wouldn't be able to take it...He's thin as a stick."

Hal dropped Diana home, leaving her on her door, kissing her goodnight. As he walked, he pondered upon Clark Kent. Why was he so…weird...It was unsettling.

Then, as he was about to reach his house, a green light streaked through the sky, and headed directly for Hal. The impact hit him so hard he was knocked off his feet, and blown back to shatter a lamppost. He felt woozy, and as his eyes dipped, he thought he saw a hulking figure wearing green…Is that spandex?

Hovering over him, the behemoth spoke. "It's about time..."

Hal passed out.


A/N-Okay if you've gotten this far, you probably think this story sucks and the whole idea is stupid. Yes, The idea IS stupid.

I just couldnt resist pairing Hal/Diana. Sorry. Puts a lot of the "immaturity" into perspective. The story starts off immature, but it gets deeper and darker as it progresses. AND I KNOW, 15 year olds. They are dumb. They will get into character and WILL become awesome. Their powers have a lot to do with their personality, right? So thats just how I pictured them as teenagers without powers...

Yeah I know, I'm ranting again...

I promise I dont do that too often, just the first chapter you know...I needed to make a good image, otherwise the readers will just say "Meh, what a load of immature BS" and move on.

Hehe...

Next up- THE FLASH ORIGINS...
