This is just an idea. It has nothing to do with the others Razaya fanfics I've made.
I own nothing cause if I have had we would have seen many Razaya kisses.
On Earth, a Stars Sapphire was sleeping peacefully. She turned around and put her arm on the place where her Green Lantern boyfriend should have been. Sensing there was no one, she opened her eyes and remembered how her boyfriend was called on Oa in the middle of the night. They moved together after he came back from a deadly mission against a robot, how was it named? Oh yes, the Anti-Monitor. The Star Sapphire sighed and sat up.
"No sleep for me this night." she muttered, looking out the window at the stars. It was a beautiful sight. "Come home soon, Hal."
Oh, I forgot to tell you: the Star Sapphire was no one else than Carol Ferris. His boyfriend was Green Lantern Hal Jordan, Earth's Champion.
Carol sighed again and got up from bed. She looked at the clock which showed 4 a.m. in the morning. She wore a pink nightgown until her tights.
"Well, I cannot sleep so why not?" She muttered.
She went down stairs and into the kitchen. She was ready to make a coffee when her ring beeped.
"What the hell is going on?" She asked out loud.
Sighing, she turned around only to find someone near the door.
"Who are you and what the hell are you doing in my house?"
The figure didn't answer but moved forward. Carol could see that it is a bot, maybe around his 19 years. He had pale skin, sombre blue eyes, something she assumed it were tattoos on his face. He wore a blue suit with a hood put on. On his chest there was a strange symbol which Carol thought it was sort of familiar. It was like Hal's Green Lantern symbol. He was taller than her and very muscular. Carol couldn't help but admire his muscles. She assumed he had a perfect torso and a great six-pack.
"I ask you again: who are you?"
Again, the boy did not answered. Instead he pulled off the hood, reveling his white-ashen hair. His gaze wandered to Carol's right hand where she had her inactive ring.
"So you are a Lantern?"
The boy merely smiled at her and nodded.
"A... a blue one, right?"
Again he nodded.
"And what are you doing in my house?"
He looked into her eyes like trying to see if her intentions were sincere.
"Are... are you one of Hal's friend?"
The alien boy nodded and opened his mouth to speak. When she heard his voice, Carol was sure he has just got out from his teenage years.
"Yes. I am Blue Lantern Razer. I apologies for entering here and for not talking but I had to make sure it is really you."
"Okay!?" She said, a little confused.
"You are Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, the only Star Sapphire in vicinity."
"What does this have to do with..."
"Because I need your powers."
"Powers?"
"Yes, I need you to open me a portal to someone."
"And that someone is...?"
"My soul mate, my better half, my love."
"Sorry but I need a name."
"Aya. Her name is Aya."
"Aya? Like the one who brought me to Zamaron?"
"Yes, it is her. I apologies in her name. She is not the one to blame. For her actions it is only my fault."
"It's okay, Razer. Hal told me why she behaved so different. I do not blame her or you."
"Are... are you going to help me?" He asked hesitant, like he was afraid of a 'no'.
"Yes. But I thought she is dead."
"I believe she is alive but scattered in the Universe. I tried to connect with her by meditation and I saw more places. I think I need to go in every place in order to restore her."
"Okay, but why do you believe this so badly?"
"Before she disappeared she..."
"Hold on a second!" She interrupted. "Before you tell me your long story, would you like a coffee?"
"A what? With what purpose?"
"I am tired. It is a drink that can help me to stay awake. And I really need one. Would. You like to drink one?"
"Well... yes, why not?"
"Good."
She prepared two coffees and sat down to the table, making him a sign to sit. He complied and took a drink from his coffee.
"I do not know how your specie prefer it so I made it as mine: with milk and sugar."
"It is pretty good. Thank you!"
Carol nodded and said "Now, about your story, tell me about the final battle."
He nodded and told her about their adventures: the truth about Aya'a origins, about her behavior and about her sacrifice.
"So because she told you so, you believe she is alive."
"Yes, probably you think I am crazy for believing that someone who destroyed herself is still alive."
"Hey, I do not judge you. I think you are brave to believe that. I think your attempt at bringing her back is great and your love for her is incredible. And I think you will succeed."
"When are we going to leave?"
"Not now. I have a job and I need to find a plausible excuse for an absence of a few weeks. In the morning I will go to my office. We will go tomorrow morning."
"I see."
"Come with me."
"Where?"
"You need a room."
"Oh, yes. I forgot. My apologies."
"Nah, it's okay."
She took him upstairs in a guest room.
"Here. I will bring you a pajama."
"I do not need..."
"Are you going to sleep in your uniform?"
"No, of course not." He said. He turned off his ring, remaining in his original attire. Carol entered her and Hal's bedroom to take Razer some clothes. When she entered Razer's momentary bedroom her eyes grew wide. There he was only is his pants, reveling his perfect muscles from his back and his clan tattoos.
"Oh my God!"
"Carol!"
He turned around so she could see his perfect sculptated torso. He had a hard six-pack and he was muscular for his age. Carol felt her cheeks burning as she continued staring at his partial nudity. He had also a pink color in his cheeks when he observed his status.
"Carol, I apologies. I had no idea you..."
"Stop right there, Razer! Look, I know how a man's body looks like. You do not need to apologies. And it is my fault. I should have knocked."
Razer nodded.
"Now, go to sleep. See ya in the morning, Tiger."
"What is a 'tiger'?"
"An animal from Earth. Its fur is decorated with stipes that look like your tattoos."
"I see..."
"Well... um... Good night, Tiger!"
"Good night, Carol!"
Razer changed into the pair of pants Carol gave him and climbed into bed. He looked around him. The room was simple, it had one bed, a desck with a lamp on it and a dresser. He closed hid eyes and mumbled a prey to fal asleep. In 5 minutes he wad already asleep. In 10 he started dreaming.
DREAM:
Razer opened his eyes when he felt someone in bed with him. It wad too dark for him to see.
"Identify yourself!"
"Relax, Razer!" A woman's voice said. "It's me."
"What?"
He knew that voice from somewhere. But he had no idea who it was. Until that person touched his leg. He would reconize that senzation always. The person came into his line of sight and he released a breath he didn't know he was holding.
"Aya... But how are you here?"
"Shhh!" Aya said moving so she was straddling him.
"Um... Aya, what are you doing?" He was freaked out but he decided to push the doubts in the far corners of his mind.
"Didn't I specify I want silence? Yes, I did."
She bent down and whispered in his ear:
"I missed you so much, my love..."
"I... I missed you to, love."
That was strange. He has never called her like that before. But she found she enjoy it. She reached her right hand to put on his left cheek as she placed her lips on his right one. Her lips were warm despite her being in a robot form. A purring sound filled Razer 's throat as Aya pulled back, gazing at him. She knew she hadn't to much time but being there, with Razer... No... you need to tell him... She thought. But I missed him so much... I have to... But before she could continue to argue to herself, Razer was kissing her. He pit his lips so gently on her. She reciprocated shyly. After a few minutes, Aya was the one who broke the kiss. She had tears in her eyes and Razer thought it was because of him.
"Aya... Why... Why are you crying?"
"Only 29.4 second of existence remain."
"WHAT?"
"I am so sorry, my love. Remember when we first meet."
"Love..."
"When you saved me from Drusa and realize you love me..."
"Please, Aya... Do not go... Not again..."
"When you first told me you love me..."
"Aya..."
And with that she disappeared in stardust like she did on Maldus.
"Aya!" Razer woke up saying that. He looked at the clock. He slept half on hour. He was though happy he did not scream too loud. He did not want to wake up his host.
Meanwhile, Carol also had sleep problems. She was turning in the sheets as she had a dream. Or a vision.
DREAM/VISION:
She was again on Zamaron. This time though she was alone. She walked into the throne room, observing the beauty.
"Hello? Is someone here?"
She heard something and followed that sound to the Central Power Battery. She looked to see someone getting out from it. She was freaked out.
"Who... or what are you?"
"Carol Ferris, do not be afraid of me. I am not going to hurt you."
Carol looked with curiosity and saw a girl materializing in front of her. She had green skin, white 'clothes', on her chest was the same symbol as Hal had and she seemed to be robotic. She looked like...
"A-Aya?"
"Indeed. Hello, Carol Ferris from Earth!"
"That is impossible. I went crazy!"
"Why would you say that? You are not crazy!"
"I am dreaming you!"
"It is not a dream but merely a vision sent by me."
"Why? And how?"
"I... We are connected. Both of us loved and were loved only to be hurt by our lovers."
"An that connect us?"
"Yes. I can not explain why but... in a way I am part of you. Of your ring actually."
"What?"
"I searched a host for my soul but I needed something from love. So I found your ring and transported my soul into it. However I had to recharge myself before I could make my presence known. And the fact that Razer came when I was ready... it is a happy coincidence."
"He told me in a way you two are connected due to the cosmical force you used to cure him. Why didn't you talk to him?"
"I moved a small part of my conscious into his ring and gave him a vision as well. But I was to overcome with my reunion with him that I... I could not tell him about me."
"Okay... You want me to talk to him?"
"Yes. But first you have to listen to me. Thanks to our connection I can talk to you whenever I or you want before you and Razer bring me back."
"How will us be able to do that?"
"My body was scattered in the Universe. It would take to much time to find every particle and to restore me. But, fortunately, there is a solution. I know... a spell if you prefer to call it. It is ancient but it will work. You have to gather more ingredients and to combine them on Odym."
"What are the ingredients?"
Carol started to look like a ghost.
"What's going on?" She asked bewildered.
"You are waking up. We do not have the necessary time." Aya responded. She approached Carol and put her hand on her new friend's forehead. Their eye glowed white. Soon, Aya retracted her hand.
"What was that?"
"The spell is in your ring now. You will know what to do."
And with that, Carol woke up.
"That was weird!" She muttered before looking at her ring. It glowed on her middle finger. After several minutes of staring at her ring, she got up from bed and looked at the clock. It showed 8 a.m. in the morning.
"Great! I am late! Heh, that will have to wait."
She went to the kitchen and ate something before going up stairs to her bathroom to take a shower and brush her teeth.
Razer was in the room in which Carol took him. He was staring at the ceiling, thinking about his dream.
"What if it was not a dream?" He asked no one in particular. "What if she established a connection with me before she disappeared? But how...?"
He sighed, got up from bed and dressed into his clothes
He made a fist and his Blue Lantern uniform materialized.
He went downstairs after looking for Carol.
"Probably she is to her office."
He went into the living room and sat on the couch. Right then Carol entered there with a cup of coffee.
"That is for you, Tiger."
He took the cup from her and said
"Carol? I thought you were..."
"Yeah... I should have been there since 7. But I slept too much so I said why not to stay a little longer."
"I understand."
"By the way, did you have a strange dream last night?"
"Yes. I did dream Aya was with me again. Why?"
"I talk to your girlfriend last night as well. Wait, she said you kissed more than talked."
Razer reddened and asked: "How do you know that?"
"Calm, calm. She told me."
Carol told him shortly what happened.
"Well, it's time for me to go. You can watch some TV if you want to. Be careful! And do not get out from the house."
"I know, I know. You do not want your secret identity to be find out."
"Yeah. So... Bye, Tiger."
She left and he turned on the TV.
At Ferris Aircraft, Carol Ferris was being waited to a very important meeting. She was supposed to be there since 9 o'clock. But she was late.
When she entered all the heads were turned to her.
"Sorry for the delay! I had some... familiar problems. My... cousin has been missing since yesterday and I talked to her parents app night trying to calm them down."
The council nodded and did not ask more question.
Thanks to her little lie she now had a plausible excuse: to search her cousin.
Several hours later, Carol was still in her office. She had a lot of papers and reports in front of her. She massaged the bridge of her nose and smirked.
"You are a lucky person, Hal!"
Right then, her phone rang. Hal was calling her.
"Hal? Is everything alright?"
"Yes, baby. I miss you"
"I miss you too..."
"Hey, did the kid come?:
"Who? The Tiger? Yeah, I let him to stay in our house until we go."
"Go where?"
"To restore her girlfriend. By the way, how comes he knew about me?"
"He came to Oa and asked me for help. So I suggested you."
"And what are you more exactly doing now?"
"This time I have to catch a dangerous villain and to bring him to the Guardians. Kilowog is with me? Do you want to say 'hi' to him?"
"Nah, thanks. Be careful!"
"You too! And if you or 'the Tiger' need something bring me to you."
"Duly noted. Bye, Hal. I love you!"
"I love you too! Bye."
Carol sighed, shaking her head.
In the evening, Carol entered in the living room only to find there a sleeping Razer. He was so peaceful. Before she could say something, she put her hand on her head and groaned. She had the mother of the headaches. Razer woke up and rushed over her.
"Carol? Carol, are you alright?"
"'I am so sorry for you pain, Carol!' Said a small and sweet voice in her head. Carol responded mentally
'It is alright. Why did you make the call?'
'I wanted to say you and Razer can go now.'
'I know... I suppose you are eager to see him?'
'Yes. I...'
'You do not need to excuse. But it needs to wait until morning.'
'I guess it is alright.'
'Good. Could we talk later? Maybe without this pain?'
'I apologies. I do not want to hurt you.'
'I know. But do not worry. I will get used to it.'
'I will talk to you tomorrow.'
'Okay... Bye, Aya.'
But she did not receive an answer. She supposed it was because Aya still needed to recharge.
"Ouch!" She groaned. Razer was staring at her with confusion and concern in his eyes.
"Hey, I am good now."
"What happened?"
"I had another little chat with Aya."
"What... what did she say?"
"She wants to see you soon."
I was the middle of the night. Razer was staring at the ceiling. Carol explained him the connection between her and Aya. It was still hard for him to believe that his soul mate was in the same house like him but after hearing Carol saying about his life on the Interceptor, something only Aya and himself knew, he was convinced. He took a hot shower to clear his thoughts and got into bed. But he did not changed but remained into his pants. He and Carol decided to live around 6.
In the morning, around 4 a.m. , Carol entered Razer's room.
"Wake up, Tiger. We have a job to do."
"Mmmmmmm..." he intoned instead of answering. But he remembered what they had to do and got up in a flash, even though he was half asleep. Carol laughed as he went into bathroom. He undressed and turned of the shower.
"Ahh... cold..."
If he was not entirely awake after that he was. He set the water and
"Ahhh... hot..."
He gathered his wits enough to remember how to use a shower and set the water at a proper temperature.
When he got out from bathroom, Carol was already on the outside veranda, in her Star Sapphire uniform. He came to her in his uniform as she asked
"Ready to go, Tiger?"
"Yes!"
"Good! And by the way: Aya says 'hi!'. Do you want to tell her something?"
"We will see each other soon, love!"
'Indeed, my love.'
"She agrees with you. C'mon!"
And they took flight into the space, not knowing what they will have to go through.
After several hours of flying into space, Carol was the one who broke the silence. Well, after mentaly talking to Aya.
"So, Razer, Aya tells me you were married. Is it true?"
"Why would she tell you that?"
"I asked her. Well I wanted to know more things about you. Sooo, is it true?"
"Yes, it is. Her name is Ilana"
"And what happened to her?"
"Put Aya to answer you!"
"She denied. She said she doesn't want to tell me because she doesn't want to upset you."
"She couldn't upset my even if she tries."
'So sweet, Aya! I understand why you fall in love with him.'
'Could you.. could you tell him I do not have the necessary patience to wait to see him?'
'Sure, not a problem'
"Carol?"
"Huh? Sorry... I was talking to Aya. She said she is eager to see you."
"Does she... You know... Is she able to hear and see me?"
"Well, yes. What I feel, hear and see, feels, hears and sees as well."
Razer nodded and for a while they fly silent. Again, Carol is the one who speaks
"I think we should find the first place and ingredient."
"And that would be?"
'My body.'
"Her body. Any ideas, Tiger?"
'I left some spare parts of myself in the Interceptor'
"She left spare parts of herself in the Interceptor." Said Razer in unison with Aya.
"Wow! You two said the same thing."
'I believe you could open a portal to the Interceptor.'
'Let me see...'
Carol concentrated and a portal formed before them
"This is it?"
"Yes." Answered both Aya and Razer.
Razer was the one who entered followed close by Carol. They came in front the Starship.
"It appears that LANOS repaired her."
"Her?"
'When Hal Jordan first came in the Interceptor he named it and myself a 'her'. That is the reason why I projected myself as a female in the first place.'
"Oh..." Carol said out loud. 'And who is LANOS?"
"Did not Jordan tell you?"
"No."
"The nav-come which took Aya's place as an AI after she left with her Manhunters."
They reached the hatch and Razer opened it with a construct. They entered and went to the main deck. There LANOS's hologram appeared and said
"Unknown Blue Lantern and Star Sapphire, identify yourself! I am LANOS!"
"Greetings, LANOS! It's me, Razer. She is Carol Ferris."
"Welcome back, former Red Lantern Razer. And welcome to you, Star Sapphire Carol Ferris."
"Thank you, LANOS! Do you mind if I download something into you database?"
"No, Star Sapphire Carol."
Carol smiled and downloaded the ritual.
Two days later, Razer was in his quarters. He remembered the ceiling. He spent so many nights watching the circuits, memorizing each of them, imagining Aya was around him, with him always. He was now doing the same thing. Carol entered his room and said
"LANOS told me to announce you he decrypted the ritual totally. We can now bring her back."
"Thank you, Carol!"
She nodded and added: "Aya seems a bit distracted, you know?"
"How so?"
"She did not respond me when I asked her where her spare parts are."
"Perhaps she did not hear you."
'This is not true! Why did you lie to him?'
'He has been staying here since yesterday morning. I want to get him out off his room.'
'He usually spends a considerable amount of time in his quarters. Not even me could get him out sometimes.'
'Yeah, but I can.'
"Carol? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am fine. I was just talking to Aya."
"And?"
"She wants you to show me where her spare parts are."
'Carol!'
"Ask LANOS!"
"Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease!"
"Urgh! Fine!"
He got up and took her to Aya's old 'room'.
"LANOS, are you nice to open this?"
"Sure, Star Sapphire Carol."
"Thank you!" She said as some parts fell on the floor. Razer leaned down and took Aya's helmet in his hands. He sighed, placed gently the helmet back on the floor and returned to his quarters.
"Great!" Muttered Carol. She then looked at LANOS's hologram in the ceiling. "LANOS, set the course for Oa and keep us outside its atmosphere. I am going to take some friends."
"Yes, Star Sapphire Carol."
Soon, they were outside Oan atmosphere. Carol got out from the ship while Razer stayed on the main deck.
Carol soon found Hal who was talking to Tomar-Re not really paying attention to his surroundings.
"Hello, Hal!"
He turned around.
"Carol?"
"Did you miss me?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Recruiting more peoples for an important mision."
"And that would be to bring Aya back?"
"Look at you, you are so smart. Yes. But I need some help."
"Sure, let's go to Kilowog."
They flied to the training area to find the drill sergeant shouting at one of the recruits.
"Hello, Kilowog!" Said Carol in a sweet voice.
"Huh? Caroool, nice to see you again!"
"Same here, big guy!" She said and hugged her.
"Why are you here?"
"Carol wants us to go um... somewhere."
"No. I won't come. Every time I go somewhere with you I am caught in the middle of a war with the Reds, or with the Anti-Monitor. This time will be what?"
"What if I tell you Carol did find a way to bring Aya back?"
"And what are you doing here?"
"Huh?" Asked Carol and Hal in unison.
"Let's go! Ch'p, stay here and make sure all of them will know the moves before I return!"
The little alien nodded and saluted. The 2 GLs and Star Sapphire went towards the Interceptor.
On the main deck Razer watched as his friend came back. When they entered, Hal exclaimed
"Nice to see you again, Kid!"
The 'kid' got up and shacked his hand with Hal and when he turned his attention to Kilowog, the latter caught him in one of his bear hugs.
"Kilo... Kilowog, I am glad to see you again. But please, I can not breath."
Kilowog put him down and said
"Carol told us about your girlfriend sharing a body with her."
Razer only nodded.
"Well - said Hal trying to break the tension - what is the next ingredient?"
"A crystal from Zamaron."
'They will not give it to us, Carol. I killed Ghia'ta.'
'Not you, Atrocitus did. And the Queen will accept. I am in a mission of love.'
'But what if...'
'No but, Aya. Let me continue, okay?'
'Yes.'
"So, because I am a Star Sapphire it would be the best if I talked to Aga'po. Agreed?"
"Yes." Responded the three males.
When the landed some guards came to them. Razer told them
"We won't hurt you. We want an audience with your Queen."
"Hello, Lanterns!"
All of them bowed when the Queen approached.
"To whom should I open a portal now? That robot?"
'Aya, she did not mean to hurt you.'
'Let's hear her!'
"We are not here for a portal, my Queen." Said Carol.
"Then what do you want, Carol Ferris from Earth?"
"I have taken over me a mission of love: to reunite two lost lovers. For that I need one of your crystals."
"And who are these two lost lovers? I assume you know their name?"
"Yes, one of them is here. I believe you did meet him: Razer."
"So I was right in my assumption. Why should I help him? He is in love with Aya-Entity. Because of her, Ghia'ta is dead."
"Please, your Majesty. It was not her fault. Her thoughts were clouded with the pain of rejection."
"You said.. you are in a mission of love?"
"That is right."
Aga'po smiled. "Very well then. Come with me. But you have to tell me about it!"
"Yes, no problem. Will you be well by yourself, boys?"
Hal laughed and responded: "Of course."
Carol only smiled and followed the Queen into the throne room. There she told her about her plan while Aga'po listened.
"It is interesting your concern for the well-being of someone you did not meet in friendly circumstances. I will give you the crystal."
Carol nodded and smiled. "Thank you, your Majesty!"
Ten minutes later Carol put the crystal into the Cargo bay and was talking to Aya. It did not hurt her anymore.
'It is a good thong that the Zamaronians cut it in the desired shape.'
'Yes, Aya. I guess it is.'
'You seem distracted.'
'Nah, I am just thinking about our next stop.'
'Odym is a beautiful place.'
'Yeah. You know, I thought it will be more difficult but we need only a few things.'
And it was true. They had already taken Aya's body and C.P.U. representing the Will and the heart-shaped Love Crystal. They needed only the Hope Water, the Fear Crystal and the Rage Jewel. Fortunately, Razer still had his Red ring. While Carol opened a portal for Kilowog to go to his girlfriend so he could take the Fear Cristal, Hal and Razer went to take the Hope Water. The girls remained on the Interceptor outside Odym's atmosphere. They were going to land immediately after receiving the signal from Hal.
Carol walked into the main deck and sighed, looking outside the window at the wonderful planet Odym. She did not hear someone entering until he spoke.
"A beautiful view, isn't it, Carol?"
"Yes."
'Ayaaa, someone is looking for you!'
'Or you.'
'Why? You are his love.'
"Do you want something or you came here only to gaze outside the window? Are you done yet with the water?"
"Yes, I wanted to talk and no but Jordan can handle it."
"Would you like to leave Aya a message?"
"Well, actually yes."
Carol turned around to face Razer as he spoke
"Aya... I missed you so much!"
"She missed you too."
Razer closed the distance between them as Carol's eyes grew wide.
"Aya... I never... We never have the chance to..."
But he did not finish. He was not a man of many words. He liked to act than to speak.
"Aya... this is for you!"
He kissed them a moment later. Carol's eyes grew wide while Aya was full of joy. She could feel it and the sensation was wonderful. But it was not enough. They had made only lips to lips contact yet it was enough to send shiver down their spines. Carol started to fell dizzy and her vision became blurry. In her mind Aya started to look like a ghost. She wanted more. Carol appeared as Aya's form disappeared.
Carol's ring turned off as she remained in a pair of jeans, a pink shirt and red shoes. Razer felt her hand on his chest and opened his eyes, finding himself staring into a pair a green eyes. He knew Aya had the control over Carol's body. They closed their eyes in the same time as he deepened the kiss. Aya opened 'her' lips, letting him explore her mouth. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed firmly his hands on her back. "Aya..." he sighed against her lips. Meanwhile, in her mind, Carol sat down on a mental image of a field and hugged her knees. That did hurt. She whimpered like a helpless child. But it was in vain. Aya also whimpered but it was from another and totally different reason.
The door opened with a hiss.
"What the hell is going on?" Asked a pissed off Hal. Everything he knew was that Razer was kissing Carol. Or Aya? He put his hand on Razer's shoulder and got him away from her.. them. The green eyes and expressionless face responded his unspoken question.
"Aya, what are you doing?"
"I..."
"Please, give Carol back her body."
"Why?" She sounded like a little child.
"Because this is the right thing to do."
"But I want a body. I want an organic body and Carol can give it to me."
"I know what you want, honey, but..."
"It is not fair!"
"What?"
"You, Razer and Sergeant Kilowog have an organic body. Why I can not have one as well?"
"You cannot take her body! Aya, you said you wanted to be a GL, remember?"
"Yes. It was the main reason I made myself a body in the first place."
"Well, a GL has to make the right thing, to help the others and protect them. A GL bases his or her decision to save and help people. You have to give her body back even if you do not like it. We will give you a body only for yourself, Aya. Please..."
"Very well." Said Aya, closing her eyes. When she opened them, they were again the brown color Hal loved. Carol passed out and Hal caught her. He turned to Razer and told him
"You disappointed me, kid! I know you are not like that but... Stay away from both Carol and Aya until we finish! I do not want either of them to be hurt. Maybe you cannot see but Carol goes through a hell to bring Aya back."
Hal picked Carol up bridal still and took her to the Medical Bay. Razer only sighed and looked down, ashamed. He didn't mean to do that! He only wanted to.. Yeah, he had n explication.
Meanwhile, on Carol's mind:
"Aya, why did you do that?"
"I am so sorry, Carol. I wanted only to have my own body."
"I know, Aya. I know... But taking control over me like that... it really hurts. And everything I have done this days, everything I will do is for you to have an organic body. But I cannot if you have the control over me."
Aya looked down, guilty. What was she thinking?
"I did not want to hurt you, Carol. I am so sorry."
"Hey, it's okay now. But please not to do that again."
Aya nodded happy she was again Carol's friend.
Back on the Interceptor, Hal put Carol in a bed from the medical bay. He was worried for both his girlfriend and the girl he came to see as a daughter. Carol opened her eyes but they were green.
"Aya?"
"Yes. I apologiezed to Carol and she forgave me."
"And why are you in charge again?"
"She gave me her permission. When I first took the control, I used a considerable amount of her energy. In other words, she needs to rest."
"Aha."
'Aya...'
'I told you to rest.'
'You are so stubborn.'
Aya smiled and after listening a while she spoke:
"Carol says she is sorry for letting Razer kiss her."
"It's okay. I understood it was for you."
'He is not jealous? That kid is a great kisser!'
'Do you want me to tell to Hal that?'
'Nah, I prefer to do it myself.'
"Aya?"
She got out from the mental conversation to look at Razer. She gazed at him and then at her feet.
"Are you well, Aya?"
"Yes, I function at optimum levels."
"Good, that is a... relief. How is Carol?"
The question caught her and Hal off guard.
"She is fine."
"Could you give her the control?"
She nodded and closed her eyes, the Star Sapphire uniform appearing on her. When she opened them it was Carol.
"I let you to speak. Razer, do not forget our talk."
He nodded as Hal went to the main deck.
"Carol, I want to apologies. My behavior towards you was unapropiated and uncalled."
"Hey, it's alright, Tiger. I am fine now and Aya understood why she mustn't do that ever again."
He nodded and smiled. Carol mimicked him, but soon it became a big grin.
"She is strong and though, you know that?"
"Yes. She wouldn't have survived if she has not been like that."
"Uh... she says she learned it from you."
"Perhaps..."
"Let's go to Odym, shall we?"
"Yes."
Right then, Kilowog entered with the Fear Crystal.
"What took you so long? Galia's planet isn't too far from here." asked Razer.
Kilowog blushed and answered: "We had problems with how big the crystal has to be."
"Yeah, right!" muttered sarcastically Carol. "Anyway, we have a spell to do."
Razer nodded and was ready to go on the deck when he remembered something and went towards the exit.
"Where do you think you're going, Poozer?"
"I have something to do. I will return soon." he answered shortly before exiting the ship. Carol smiled, thinking he maybe was planning a surprise for Aya's return.
It was a matter of minutes before he returned. He went to his homeworld to pick something up. Something that he came to consider a symbol of his and Aya's love: a Hope Flower. He chose one from his old house and went back to the Interceptor.
"Where have you been, kid?" asked Hal once he was at his console.
"I had a personal business to attend to."
'Is he always so secretive?'
'You have no idea!'
'Well, we are his friends after all. He could at least share something with us.'
'You tell me!'
'Since when have you started to talk like that, Aya?'
'I guess it's because I am in an organic body.'
'Maybe...'
But she was snapped out off her mental conversation when she caught a glimpse of Razer's persistent gaze.
"Both me and Aya are okay, Tiger. Stop staring!"
"I am sorry. I am just worried."
"I know but I am serious: stop staring at us! You are annoying me and bothering Aya."
Razer sighed and redirected his gaze outside the window.
"That's better!"
'You were mean with him!'
'Really? That doesn't compare with what he has done to you, Aya.'
'But I forgave him!'
'Hey, don't worry, I was just kidding.'
Soon, they landed on Odym. When Carol got out she was perplexed by the beauty there. All the Blue Lanterns came to them. Their number has grown over the past few months. Now there were around a dozen of recruits. After the presentations were made, two ex-Guardians came, hand in hand. Carol was even more surprised to see the dwarf-sized blue aliens.
"Welcome to our planet, Star Sapphire!" said the blue female. "My name is Sayd and he is my fiancé, Ganthet."
"Um... Hello! I am Carol Ferris. I thought the Guardians were not allowed to marry."
Ganthet smiled and answered: "Yes, it is true. But neither of us is a Guardian any longer. Sayd left the council and came here to share hope shortly after Brother Razer's departure. Since then we have started a relationship."
Kilowog winced at the new thought. "Thanks for putting that in my mind!"
Carol laughed and Saint Walker said:
"I believe we should complete the ritual as soon as possible. Don't you think so, Brother Razer?"
Razer blushed as he was the center of attention and said, trying to seem calm:
"Yes. The faster we start, the faster Aya will be here."
"Impatient as always, aren't you, Brother?"
Razer's face became even more redder, hoping (to no avail) Aya wouldn't see him. But she saw him.
'It is the first time I see Razer such flustered.'
'Aya, Aya, Aya... You know, he is kind of sexy...'
'Carol!'
'Sorry, sorry. Don't get me wrong, I love Hal but this kid...'
'Actually I inclined to agree with you.'
Carol laughed and she had been received strange looks from the others.
"Sorry!"
'Sorry I laughed, Aya. But really, having an organic body has effect on you.'
"Carol?" asked Razer. "We should start."
"Huh? Oh, yeah... Right. Sorry, I was talking to Aya. After you, Tiger."
Hal, Kilowog, Carol, Saint Walker and the two former Guardians were walking towards an open field. Carol was holding the water in a bubble construct, Hal had the Love Crystal, Kilowog the Fear Crystal, Razer his Red Lantern ring, Saint Walker the C.P.U. and Sayd and Ganthet, using their powers were transporting Aya's body parts.
When they arrived, they formed a circle in that order: Razer, Hal, Kilowog, Sain Walker, Sayd and Ganthet. Carol was in the middle of the circle. She released the water which instead of spreading on the ground, floated. Carol took this as a good omen and moved her hands like trying to model something. The Hope Water obeyed every single move Carol was doing and started taking the shape of a female. It was a bit taller than Aya initially was. She and Carol decided to make her a body which will represent herself not Razer's late wife. So the decided to change a bit her height, the size of her female parts to make her more feminine and her face. She will have her lips thinner and the same blue eyes.
When the body's shape was perfect a green aura was obvious around it. Carol nodded and Razer came to place his ring on its finger. The ring started glowing and dissolved into water. The other placed the ingredients as well: the aurem on its neck like a necklace, the heart on its chest, her C.P.U. on (technically in) her head, all of them dissolving and giving it a white aura. Ganthet 'dressed' it in Aya's spare parts and took his place back in the circle. Carol made a wave with her hand and the body placed itself on the ground. Carol spoke:
"Birth from dead... Come back to us...
Have protection from death...
Rage, power against death..."
The body started glowing red and Carol continued:
"Love and desire, gave her a reason to fight..."
Its chest glowed violently pink-violet.
"Fear, banish the death from her soul..."
The place were the aurem was glowed yellow.
"Hope, give her the strength to fight..."
The body glowed dark blue.
"Will, give her the power to live even in the face of death..."
It had now a green aura around it.
"Shadow of death, Black Hand...
With her loved one's touch
Leave her to live!"
Razer came and gently graze its cheek.
"Let her live! Let her live! LET HER LIVE!" Continued Carol after Razer returned to his place. She closed her eyes for her last mental conversation with Aya.
"Are you ready to go?"
"Affirmative."
"It was fun to share my body with you, even if it was only for a few days."
"I also think so. Carol?"
"Yes?"
"We are now what carbon-based life forms call 'sisters'?"
"I don't see why not."
Carol made a wave with her hand and a portal appeared behind Aya.
"Go!"
Aya nodded but hesitated. Carol approached the android and hugged her. The former A.I. was confused. She and Razer had never done something like that. Yet, she returned happily the embrace.
"Good bye. little sister!"
"Good bye, Carol!"
And with that Aya entered the portal and her soul left Carol's body.
A mist formed around the girls. The other couldn't see anything. Razer narrowed his eyes trying to see through the mist. When it was finally gone, they could see a girl on the ground. She had green skin, long pure white hair which fell on her body and all around her head like a halo making her look like an angel. She had a white t-shirt like her old one but it was long and had a little cleavage, a pair of shorts, which were fortunately long enough for Hal's taste. He considered it would be weird to see her in pants like her old ones. She also wore white elbow-length fingerless gloves and white ankle boots without heels. Carol thought is would has been better to choose something comfortable for Aya.
They weren't sure it was really her until she opened her eyes which had the same hue belonging only to her.
Razer went to her and helped her on her legs. She looked around her to see familiar faces and Carol on the ground.
"Carol? CAROL!?"
Carol moaned and opened her eyes. She groaned and held her head.
"Ouch. That hurts!"
Hal released a breath he didn't know was holding and rushed towards her. He helped her up and asked
"Are you okay, baby?"
"Yes, Hal. I'm fine."
She looked at Aya and smiled softly, walking towards her little sister. She riffled her hair affectionately ans said
"Look at you, Aya. You are wonderful!"
The former A.I. smiled with a sightly blush in her cheeks, gazing at the ground. They heard a shy 'thank you'. Hal also said
"You look really great, Aya!"
"Very stunning." confirmed Kilowog.
"As a beautiful flower that has just bloomed.' said Saint Walker.
Razer squeezed her shoulder and said
"You are really beautiful, love!"
Aya's cheeks were now burning.
"Thank you, my friends!"
"Carol, I don't know how I could ever thank you for giving me my love back."
"Well, you could take care of her and don't break her heart again, Tiger! That will suffice." Said a smiling Carol, while holding Hal's hand. He felt the need to speak
"Though, kid, you have to promise you won't hurt our little Aya or take advantage of her. Or you will gonna suffer. Do you get it?"
"Yeah, Poozer. If you hurt her, we hurt you!"
Like he would ever do that.
"Do not worry! I plan to make Aya happy and I promise I won't take advantage of her physical form in any shape."
"Oh, come on!" interjected Carol. She, with a mischievous, added: "I am sure you would want to do something with her now that she feels everything better than she ever did in her robotic body. Are you sure you don't want to take advantage that now she has an organic body? Like her lips now have, I don't no, more feeling?" Winking at him.
Razer blushed as he saw where this was going. Did she really expect him to share his and Aya's first kiss in front of everyone? Well, he didn't actually have a problem with that. Aya turned towards him.
"I concur, my love."
He raised an eyebrow but smiled as Aya continued: "Will you help me to conduct an experiment?"
"Of course, love."
He then remembered something and smiled at his plan. He made a wave with his hand and the Hope Flower he took appeared into blue energy. Aya smiled brightly and reached one hand to take the flower. Razer shook his head and mouthed the word 'no'. He put the flower in her hair which made her look even more beautiful.
"A beautiful flower for an even more beautiful girl. I do love you, Aya!"
"I love you too, Razer!"
He traced her jawline with his fingers and then he cup her chin, titling her head up. Her arms wrapped around his neck in anticipation. He put his other hand on thr small of her back, brough their faces close, so close and kissed her softly. Aya smiled against his mouth and enjoyed the felling. She wanted this for so long. He did it too. They had only their lips pressed, both of them to shy to experience more with their friends their. Aya is still shy and responded timidly to his kiss. He is trying not to overwhelm her. Soon, they pulled apart, looking into each other's eyes. Carol smiled brightly as she put her arm around Hal. He hugged her and put his lips on the top of her head.
"You did a great job, baby!"
"Thank you!"
A howl was heard and all the heads turned to Carol. They gave her awkward glances and even Saint Walker seemed amused.
"Um... Sorry, guys. The last time I ate was yesterday evening and I'm starving. Can we go to eat something?"
"Of course, Miss Carol." Answered Saint Walker.
They took a consistent meal and the first Blue Lanternt took them to house.
"This wasn't here last time we came." Said Hal.
Saint Walker answered: "We built it for a better acomodation. We still have to build more for our next recruits, though."
"This consruction is nice." Said Aya as they entered. The house had a big living room, more bedrooms, a kitchen and whatever it was needed for living.
"You can stay here until you decide to return to your homes." Said Saint Walker. The two GLs and Star Sapphire nodded. Carol and Hal decided to share a small room as Kilowog took a bigger one. Razer let Aya to choose a room for herself and he took the next one near her.
"You could stay in the same room, Brother Razer."
"I do not want to make Aya feel uncomfortable or overwhelm. I want to make sure she..."
"I believe Aya would want to stay with you." Interrupted the first Blue Lantern.
Razer nodded but not entered Aya's new room, instead he went to his.
(Later that night)
Aya has been turning in the sheets for the last two hours. She wanted so much to be near Razer. Deciding, she got up and opened the door, hoping he was still awake.
Meanwhile, Razer had also sleep problems. So he studied the ceiling, thinking about her. He was wondering if she was alright, if she could sleep, if it was only one of his torturous dreams and in the morning he would discover everything was just in his imagination.
He heard footsteps and the door from his room opened. There stood a familiar yet different person.
"Razer..."
"Aya, is everything okay?"
"Yes, yes. I had merely sleep problems." She answered, gazind at her feeth nervous. Razer nodded and threw the blanket away from his form. Aya looked at him and he saw recognision on her face. Yet she hesitated.
"You can come. I won't bite you." He joked.
Aya giggled and went towards him. She curled next to him as he put his arms around her. Sue put her left hand on his stomach and the other she crushed between herself and his chest.
"Are you comfortable, love?"
"Yes. Thank you for your concern."
He could feel her shiness and found it cute. He placed his lips on the top of her head, kissing it softly. Aya relaxed and muttered
"I do apologies for intrudind in your sleep stasis."
"I think one should say that before one's intrusion."
Aya felt her cheeks burning but kept her mout shut. She curled into a ball, trying to be as close as she could be with Razer. He tried not to laugh at how childlike she seemed. Thinking about it, in experience she actually is childlike. He was her first crush, her first and only love, the one she was ready to give her live for.
"Good night, love!"
"Good night, Razer!" She said. A few minutes later she was asleep and dreaming. Soon, he was as well.
(In the morning)
Razer woke up when he heard a soft moan coming from Aya. She was still asleep and with her back pressed against his chest. He caressed her forearm and a soft sigh was heard. He smiled and pressed his lips on her neck, making her to wake up. She moaned softly again.
"Mmmm... Razer? What are you doing?"
He nuzzled her neck as she tried to understand what was going on.
"It is called 'nuzzling'. Ot is how we show affection. You do not like it?"
"Actually, I enjoy it..." she confessed and blushed. Razer let her to turn around only to kiss her forehead, surprising her.
"Razer?"
"Yes, Aya?"
"Should we tell the others we are awake?"
"Not yet."
"Why not?"
"Because I want some private time with my love. Let them wait!"
She nodded and said, smiling playfully:
"I am glad I came here last night."
"Really?" He asked, rising an eyebrow. Aya recognised that as flirt but decided against playing along.
"Really."
"Me too..."
"I know... You are lucky you got me!"
"How so?" For someone how didn't flirt she was very good at it.
"I won't tell you now, my love. I will let you wait!"
She was really good. Instead of saying something, Razer's choice was to lift her head up and to kiss her. Aya was caught off guard but she retook her composture and kissed back. She wrapped her arms around Razer as well as she could and parted sightly her lips, letting him deepen the kiss. He was gentle, trying not to overwhelm her. After a couple of minutes they pulled apart due to their need ro breath.
Despite everything, Razer still had his regrets. He regreted that words that drove her to madness. He regreted some of his chioses, his mistakes, but not her. He didn't regret he left Ilana. Not anymore. He was ready to let her go. To let her spirit to finally rest. He wad ready to let his old live go and to start a new one. A new life with her, his sweet, beautiful and brave Aya, the one he has been longong for since he first saw her. If he could return to change something from his past it wouldn't be the day he left Ilana but the day he denied his love for Aya. Now, he was sure of how and what he felt towards her. And that feelings didn't scare him any longer.
Aya turned around in his embrace with her back once again pressed against his front. He nuzzled again her neck and placed soft and tender kisses on it as Aya sighed.
"I love you, Aya! Always."
"I love you too, Razer! My Razer."
That made his heart to skip a beat. He had never heard it from her. Yet it sounded so good.
They stayed in his room the rest of the day. They didn't care about the others. They had enough time for them. Now, it was their time.
