God promises a safe landing but not a calm passage.- Bulgarian Proverb

In the Guardians Council room...

Davis walked into the center of the council room the same dark room he woke up in all those months ago. "Davis Bloome thank you for coming." One of the guardians said warmly.

"Did I even have a choice?" He asked with no emotion in his voice.

"Why do you ask questions you already know the answers to?" Another guardian replied with just as much emotion as Davis.

"Any way why was I called here?" Davis asked bored out of his mind.

"We understand you haven't visited your orphan home world in the time you were resurrected why is that?" A guardian asked.

"Well I just haven't been able to see the point in going back there that's all." Davis explained hesitantly.

"A Green Lantern must be able to protect his sector from not only external threats but those that are internal as well." A female guardian said abruptly.

"I understand that but..." Davis was cut off quickly.

"There are no buts there are only those that follow orders and those that don't which will you be Mr. Bloome?" The female guardian asked.

"All right I will return to earth but I will need something for protection." Davis said giving into them.

"Protection against what?" The guardians asked.

"There is another kryptonian on earth as well as a second that tried to arrive there I placed the second on a holding facility though on a traffic violation. You know my history with the other one Cal El also known as Clark Kent and his friends I know if I go to earth and I am discovered he and his friends will undoubtedly try to kill me with kryptonite or send me to the phantom zone that is why I need to make a request." Davis said to them with hesitation.

"How would you like to protect yourself." They asked him.

"I want be able to open portals to and from the phantom zone I would also like to receive a cure for kryptonite. As well as be able to infuse it into my lantern for a weapon." Davis explained.

"Well we can't say that these requests are a surprise we knew that you would need some protection from the special inhabitants of your..." They paused for a second. "adopted planet. That being said we will grant your request for the portal but not the cure or the augmented ring only the alpha corps are given such gifts." They continued.

"Thank you so much." Davis said graciously.

"Understand we will monitor your progress you will be given a place to stay in the city that you use to live in we will use our influence on the earthlings so that the police or your enemies wont come looking for you and so that no one will be able to ask questions." The guardians explained to him.

"Thank you so much." He said humbly knowing he was lucky to get even one request granted by his superiors.

A few months Later in a penthouse in metropolis...

Davis was settling into his place that the The Guardians had gotten him. He had just gotten out of the shower and was in his white wool bathrobe and saw that he had a spectacular view of the city like nothing he had ever seen before he could see everything from the window even his old place. (Then again with his x-ray vision nothing was out of sight for him.) Just then he heard a knock at the door he went to answer it. He opened the door to find Kara in her brown wig wearing a blue NYC shirt with black pants and red heels. He didn't remember her name or recognize her from before and neither did she.

"Hi I'm Kara I live next door I saw that you were moving in and thought I would introduce myself." She explained extending her hand for a hand shake.

"Oh okay it's nice to meet you Kara. I'm Davis Bloome." He said shaking her hand.

"Wait Bloome that's strange I think I've heard it before." She said pausing for a moment.

"Well uh... that's probably because it's a very common last name." Davis said quickly trying to hide his secret from her.

"So tell me Davis what do you do for a living?" She asked with a flirty smile.

"Oh I guess you could say I'm like a Officer of the law." He explained giving a flirty smile of his own.

"Wow that's amazing how do you pay for this apartment though?" She asked stunned.

"Oh well its more government to be honest but to tell the truth I have the bosses from hell." He began to whisper. "Shh don't tell anyone." He said smiling.

Kara just started giggling at him. "Well it was nice to meet you Davis I hope to see you around. Oh by the way my name is Kent." She said as she left for her room.

Davis's mouth almost dropped open. "You don't say." He said with a fake smile hiding what he just realized. "I enjoyed meeting you to Kara." With that he closed the door thinking. "Now I know what those bastards are up to they want to seduce Kara."

Back on Oa...

"Should we have told him the truth the real reason we recruited him?" A guardian asked his fellow guardians.

"Of course not it would be hell we would have a full scale rebellion if the truth came out Davis Bloome the Destroyer must never no the truth that he holds the key to our survival for whats to come." One of the guardians shouted.

"I believe though he is starting to realize there is something wrong though." The first guardian said.

Davis woke up to the sound of his alarm clock blaring he only meant to turn it off but as soon as he slapped it the alarm clock was crushed to tiny bits. "Oh shit now I have to get a new one don't see why it's not like I need it those guardian's never call me for shit." He mumbled to himself. He then heard a knock on his door. He immediately got dressed wearing all black he walked over to the front door he opened it to find a nice surprise Kara in her black wig wearing a red tank top, blue jeans, and red heels.

"Hi do you have a minute I need a big favor." She asked a little apprehensive.

"Um okay what do you need?" Davis holding his morning coffee asked still surprised to see her.

"I need your help with..." She paused for a moment to embarrassed to continue. "I need you to help me go shopping I have little to no experience please." She stretched out her please to and gave him the puppy dog eyes. Davis just laughed.

"Okay fine I'll help you where are we shopping for?" He asked sipping his coffee.

"Oh you know the usual clothes, purses, and lingerie." She said playing with her fake black hair." Davis suddenly started spitting out his coffee.

"Are you serious?" He asked completely shocked.

"Yes why wouldn't I be serious?" She asked not realizing the bizarre nature of her request.

"Well it's a... ah to hell with I'll be out in a minute." He said not daring to ruin this golden opportunity as he grabbed his leather jacket and left with her.

Later on at the Metropolis Mall...

Davis was exhausted and he was at his limit carrying her bags he had been misinformed by Kara who had brought him along to carry her bags and only to carry her bags he was suddenly about to drop the bags when she stopped in front of a flower shop she starred at a flower shop. "Wait here for me." She as she went inside.

"What for?" Davis asked puzzled as he watched her go inside he saw her buy some roses. As she walked out he asked her with great exhaustion "Do I have to carry that to?"

"No I'm carrying this I need you to drive me some where." She explained as they both walked to his sedan.

"Alright fine I'll take you there." Davis said as he rubbed his forehead. As they both got into the car Davis noticed something strange it was his ring it was flashing like a signal as if it were trying to warn him. "So where are we going?"

"To the Metropolis cemetery." Davis paused for a second realizing who the flowers were for Jimmy at that moment all his guilt cam rushing back. "I'm sorry." He said after gulping."

"Don't worry it's not like your the one that kill my friend Jimmy." She lowered her head her hair shielding her eyes she did this so he wouldn't see her crying.

"Okay I'll take you there fast." Davis said pretending not to notice her tears out of respect.

As they arrived drove to the cemetery he watched as Kara struggled to compose herself. As they parked he saw her straighten her hair. He then noticed his ring flashing more violently. They soon began walking and his heart began pounding he was afraid for the first time in a long time. He could not stop thinking of what he had done how his single reckless action had ruined so many lives. They then then found themselves facing Jimmy's grave he thought he would fall to his knees in grief and burst into tears but Kara beat him to it. That's when he realized a terrible truth even if he was now a full fledged kryptonian and free of the beast known as Doomsday he would unfortunately never be free of his past no matter how many people he saved he could never bring back Jimmy or his other victims. "I'm sorry."

Kara just kept crying. "I already told you that there's nothing to be sorry for your not the man that killed my friend." He then stared at his ring as Kara sobbed and made vow to himself the in the blackest day and in the brightest of nights he would protect this world and Kara as penance for his sins. He then put his over her.

"I promise you Kara no matter what something like this will never happen again. I swear it." As she looked up at him the rain stopped and the sun began to rise he started to look like an angel. She then did the unthinkable she kissed him.
