The Green Lantern cautiously approached the stranded mini-transport. He was nervous, having heard the horror stories of Lanterns attacked and brutally murdered by the new red lanterns. He'd considered calling for assistance in helping the alien just to be sure, but her voice had seemed young and very frightened. He didn't want to frighten the little girl more.
He ripped off the windshield of the transport with his ring and saw a tiny humanoid alien. She was young, around 11 or 12, with dull white skin and lines on her face. Her hair was a dark shade of blue, almost black, that was in a braid. He reached his hand to help her, and she exended her own when he saw the red ring. The child smiled evilly, her had turning into a fist.
He reared back, butit was too late. There was a flash of red and a scream, and then a green ring flew into the dark depths of space.
"That was for my family, monster."
/+/
"Good job my daughter," Atrocitus said. "Perhaps soon you shall fight the team that came from Oa."
Talon replied, surprised, "Father, I thought they were killed when that planet Razer blew up, well, blew up."
"As did I child, but our dear Razer proved us wrong."
"So he's a traitor. Should have known," Talon smirked. "Can I go after them now?"
"Patience, my daughter, I have a plan."
/+/
Talon went back to her room to fight the practice robots that had been designed to challenge her skill. She wanted so badly to destroy the traitor, Razer. She knew that he'd lost his family, although she knew little else about him, not even his race. Still, she didn't believe anyone could willingly turn to those monsters that had killed so many innocents.
But she paused, realizing something. There had to have been hundreds of innocents on the planet that the Red Lantern Corps had blown up. She trusted her father, but why had he ordered the planet destroyed? He was using his rage to avenge innocents, not kill them. Wasn't he? Of course, they weren't that innocent, they had sided with the monsters that helped to destroy so many truly innocent people. But that wasn't the fault of the children on the planet. Still, she had to believe Atrocitus only wanted the best for the forgotten zone.
So yeah, still too short.
