I've got to show the world

And all my billities

There's so much more to me

Somehow, I have to make them

Just understand

I got it well in hand

And, oh, how I've planned

I'm spreadin love

There's no need to fear

And I just feel so glad

Every time I hear:

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

Got to let it show

I'm coming out

I want the world to know

I got to let it show—I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross

Chapter 1—I'm Coming Out

Kyle Rayner was happy to be back on earth and part of the Justice League. This past year had been hard for him. He had lost several friends in the Green Lantern Corps, including his girlfriend Jen, when a mission had gone terribly wrong. He had barely made it out himself and he had blamed himself for the loss of the others for months. John Stewart called it survivor's guilt but the damage to the Corps had been great and it was the reason he was back on earth.

The Corps was recalling John back to Oa to help Katma train a large bunch of rookies. Kyle was transferred to sector 2814 to take his place. He had been home for a little over two weeks and had moved in with his friend Jimmy Olsen in Metropolis. The founding members that he had met had been nice for the most part. Superman of course already knew him and J'onn by nature seemed kind and accepting. Flash was an instant friend. Shayera was angry at first but had forgiven him after John had proposed and asked her to go with him to Oa. Wonder Women was away on a deep space mission, he was looking forward to meeting her, and Batman, well Batman scared the GREEN out of him. He had this way of sneaking up on him and at the worst times. Kyle was forever checking over his shoulder for him and yet whenever he let his guard down there he was. Other than that he was settling into the League nicely.

Kyle checked the time and realized that his first solo monitor duty would be finished in a little over an hour. It had been a quiet night and Kyle had been able to draw several charcoal sketches. He had once wanted to draw comic books and being up close and personal with so many different heroes fueled his creative fires. He had started with the founding members and had drawn everyone but Wonder Woman and Batman. He wanted to meet Wonder Woman before he drew her and drawing Batman kind of scared him as if it would conjure him up out of thin air.

Shaking his head at the absurdity of that notion he started sketching him. He had just finished Batman's cape when a harsh voice said, "What are you doing?" He leaped from the chair dropping the sketchpad. His heart raced as he heard musical laughter behind him and he spun around and looked into the laughing eyes of one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen.

"That never gets old!" Wonder Girl stated as she looked at the handsome new Green Lantern.

Kyle stared at her in shock, "Did you just imitate Batman?"

She smiled and Kyle could swear that there was suddenly more light in the room. "It is one of my best tricks. Always makes people jump out of their skin," she said as she chuckled some more.

Kyle stared at her. She looked different from the last time he had seen her. Then she had been very pretty in a girl next-door sort of way. Now she was drop dead gorgeous and sexy too. First of all her hair was no longer in a ponytail but down and cut to frame her face. She had exchanged the high necked bathing suit and breast plate for a skin tight v-necked red jumpsuit that had gold stars running across the tops of her breasts down her sides and stopping on her thighs. She wore black low healed boots. She still wore the gold belt and lasso and silver bracelets from her old costume.

"So do you like my new look?" she asked as she turned around so he could see the back.

He was momentarily distracted by her perfectly shaped rear-end until she turned back around and smiled at him again. "Well?" she added.

Kyle swallowed hard and said, "It's great. What made you decide to change your uniform?"

"Oh I had a few reasons. First, I was tired of being called Wonder Woman Junior so I thought a new uniform might distinguish me more from her. Second, next month is my twenty-first birthday and I want to look more like a grown-up and less like somebody's kid sister." She bent down and picked up Kyle's sketchpad. "Do you mind if I look and your drawings?"

When she looked at him with those big blue eyes he couldn't say no. "Sure."

She sat down and slowly looked at his drawings of the Justice League Founders. She carefully studied each picture before she looked up at him and smiled. "These are great. I love your use of one light source it creates nice shadow and the images really look alive! Flash looks like he is about to run off the page."

Kyle was surprised, "Are you an artist as well?"

"Yes! I love drawing and sculpting but photography is my biggest passion! The way you use light in your drawings is what I try to do with my photos."

"I would love to see your portfolio sometime." Kyle said without thinking. She was starting to intrigue him on many levels. She was beautiful and funny as well as intelligent and sensitive. He could see why most of the guys in the cafeteria would pause to look at her when she entered.

"Sure no problem. It is nice meeting a fellow artist in the League, their aren't that many." She continued, "I'm in an art program at Empire University. I would love to work as a professional photographer one day."

"You should talk to my roommate Jimmy. He's a photographer for the Daily Planet." Kyle responded.

Donna looked as though she was about to continue the conversation when they heard a harsh voice behind them.

"Wonder Girl you are ten minutes late for our sparring session!" Nightwing growled out and added when he got a good look at her. "What the hell are you wearing!?"

Kyle watched as Donna's eyes narrowed at Nightwing but she seemed unfazed by his words or the glare he was sending her.

"Sorry I'm late. I lost track of time talking to the new Green Lantern," she smiled at Kyle and Nightwing shot him a lethal look. He wasn't as scary as Batman but he was close. Nightwing was definitely his protégé. "And this is my new uniform, don't you like it?" She talked in a light voice but Kyle could feel the steel will behind it.

Nightwing glared and she smirked, "It'll do. Come on, we're late as it is." He said as he turned to leave the room.

Donna rose from her chair. "I have to be going but I would love to finish our conversation. I should be free in about an hour, would you like to have breakfast together in the cafeteria?"

Kyle became lost again in her smile and he blurted out, "Yes!" without another thought.

"Good, I'll meet you there," and with one last look over her shoulder she followed Nightwing.

"Oh yeah, it is definitely good to be back on earth," he sighed and turned back to the monitors.

Donna smirked as she followed Dick down the corridor. She had known the all along that she was late but she didn't care. The new Green Lantern was very attractive and she had wanted to talk to him since he'd arrived two weeks ago. When today's opportunity presented itself it was just too good to pass up. He was an artist just like her and that just added to the warm feeling in her stomach.

Besides she was a little pissed at Dick. The monitor duty roster had mysteriously been changed again and Donna had monitor duty this Friday night. She had planned to go to a club opening with Roy in Star City. It was the fifth time in six months and Donna knew Dick was behind it. She knew he didn't like her going out with Roy. She remembered their conversation six months ago when she went on patrol with him in Bludhaven for the first time.

They had been sitting on the Bludhaven Bridge sipping coffee. "So why did you really ask me to go on patrol? Sick of drinking coffee by yourself, or you needed some one to talk to about the emotional scars from wearing short pants, or did you just want to be alone with me?" Donna asked.

"Cut the crap Brat! I already told you why… You need the practice. Sometimes after an ordeal you need to get back into the action." he replied trying to sound reasonable and not defensive.

"Yeah sure Dick. That argument got me out the door. Now tell me the real reason I'm here," she said giving him a piercing look.

"Okay then. Roy Harper is not good boyfriend material, especially for a first boyfriend." Dick stated bluntly.

"So?" Donna replied with a shrug.

"Don't you care about his past with women? The guy is a hound! He has a tendency of going through them like Kleenex!"

"But he's cute and fun!" Donna replied and almost laughed when Dick glared at her. She wondered if annoying Dick would ever get old. She hoped not. "Besides he gets tickets to these fun events. Last week he took me to a club that played seventies disco music. It was very retro and fun."

"There is more to life than having fun, Donna, and if its tickets to events that you want then Bruce can get them for you." Dick stated harshly.

"Hera Dick, lighten up! I am twenty years old and I spend most of my time helping people, I think its okay for me to have a little fun too. Besides if Bruce gets any tickets to an event he's going to take Diana."

"Just be careful with Roy," he said grudgingly.

"Why do you hate Roy so much?" Donna asked.

"I don't hate Roy at all. He is one of my closest friends; we've known each other since we were little, but I have seen him in player mode that's why I know how he is with women."

Donna had decided to drop the subject. She knew that there was more to Roy than his reputation as a womanizer. She had seen him with Lian.

Now though after six months, she was sick of Dick acting like an over protective older brother, at first she thought it kind of cute not having had any male siblings, but it was now getting tired and besides having Diana hover over her was bad enough. She continued to date Roy more out of spite for Dick's behavior than because of true interest in Roy. Still, she was annoyed at Dick. She had really wanted to go to the club opening.

They started to fight with escrima sticks. Donna had been made a full member of the League last month but she still enjoyed sparring with Dick. He was teaching her the finer points of using escrima sticks. She swung and hit him hard on his left side.

Dick hissed in pain, "Donna we agreed no powers!"

Donna knew she had hit him a little too hard. She was trying to come up with appropriate revenge but she was drawing a blank. She would have to call Tim later or maybe Barbara.

"Stop being such a wuss." Donna taunted. Tim had taught her that word last week and she loved it.

Dick's only response was to smack her across the rear with one of his sticks. He's going to pay she thought and completely lost herself in the match. It was always like that when they sparred. Dick truly was one of her best friends and he had taught her a lot. He had also been there when Donna had had a late night vision and because of his interpretation of what she'd seen; the League had been ready when Doomsday was able to escape the Phantom Zone. J'onn and Bruce were able to come up with a special gold kryptonite serum that he wasn't immune to and that neutralized his powers. He was now locked up at Belle Reve.

Soon the session was over and it was pretty much a draw like always. Every once and awhile one was able to best the other but it was becoming more and more rare. Donna grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat from her body. She decided she would take a quick shower before meeting Kyle in the cafeteria. She felt a little less angry with Dick, though she was still going to come up with some form of mild revenge.

"Thanks Nightwing that was fun; same time tomorrow," she said as she turned toward the door.

"Donna," he said and she turned toward him, "Be careful."

She didn't even bother to ask him what he mean by that, she knew, just like she knew that he would be there if she wasn't.

Dick couldn't look away as she left the room. Why did she have to change her costume and to a sexy one no less? The males on the Watchtower could hardly keep their eyes off of her before and now she was showing cleavage. He had understood her need to stand out from Diana. He didn't like being called Batman Lite anymore than she liked Wonder Woman Junior.

His job of watching out for her (a self proclaimed job) had just gone from hard to impossible and while she wasn't as stunning as Diana she was still incredibly beautiful and far more approachable. And now she was flirting with Kyle Rayner the new Green Lantern. From the drool practically dripping from his mouth he was also interested in her.

Why did she have to be such a pain in the ass? He knew she was mad at him for interfering with Roy again but dammit didn't she understand that he was bad news? Why did she have to be so adorably and naively innocent?

Wally and Barbara were no help. They said she could take care of herself and then would question his motivation in protecting her. Tim was the worst. He just came right out and asked him when were Donna and he going to hook up. He would send him over the top heart shaped emails with Donna and his names in the hearts.

The only ally he'd had in his quest to protect Donna was Bruce who had accommodated his requests to change the monitor duty schedule a few times. Unfortunately after this last time Bruce had said he was done.

"Donna is nearly twenty-one years old and she can take care of herself, she's an Amazon Dick," had been his exact words.

Dick suspected that Diana was behind Bruce's withdrawal but there was nothing he could do about it. They just didn't understand where he was coming from, Donna needed him to look out for her.

He went to his room and switched on his computer. Time to find out more about Kyle Rayner.
