I know, only an hour since the last chapter was published, but I'm not in the mood of reading ofher fics, so now I'll publish part of one! Oh, and after you read this, THIS IS NOT A SHIP, alright? That'll be weird... but enjoy reading Ch 4!
He was just chilling, floating outside the Watchtower in his self imposed banishment from civilization when he see's the large ship pop through the wormhole. Not hard to ignore, so he just casually boarded the friendly looking ship, and
2) hugged by said alien and introduced to four humans dressed in red, yellow, blue, and green casual clothing
3) Was told that their other team member that was coming soon was Shiro, and he said he knew him (one of his favorite ' nephews'!)
4) Saw said nephew walk in, pivot, and exit, which now brought him to the current situations
Green Lantern stops himself from laughing as he see's Jason pivot and exit. He must say, he looked different, but he was more than happy to see his missing friend after a year. He sported a large scar across his face, wore fake eyelashes (only he would know), and his hair was cut differently with the despised white sticking out.
"Um...excuse him, sir." Says Keith formally, and the Lantern can obviously see that the four teens are in awe. "He doesn't usually-"
"Never" says the blue one, Lance, he remembers. Keith nods.
"He never acts like this." He nods.
"Its fine. I'll go...privately talk to him." He exits, a d after he knows no one is following him, lets his uniform dematerialize until he's wearing his dark jeans, black shirt, and aviators jacket.
"Ring, find Jason Todd." Suddenly, in Hal's mind, a map appears. He takes a deep breath and runs down the halls until he see's a set of doors, with no other door in sight. The gym?
He enters the room, and hears the sound of a gun firing, then reloading, then firing again. He walks until he's standing next to Jason, who's shooting a metal dummy in the same spot on his head.
"Jason." Another shot fired. "Jason." Another. "JASON!" The teen stops firing, and turns to look at Hal. His blue eyes look...old.
"Hal Jordan." He says, and his voice is...different. Deeper, richer...fake. He raises an eyebrow, and the teen sighs. "Uncle Hal." His voice is normal, and he can see the teens eyes wet. He sways, and collapses, but Hal catches him.
"Woah there! I got you, I got you." He says, sinking onto his knees and embracing the teen. He can hear the boy sniff, and he feels his shoulder wet. Tears. His eyebrows furrow in concern.
"Hey kid, whats wrong?" He says, holding Jason in front of him. He'll be damned if he ever called him by that fake name: Shiro.
"Everything." He whispers. And then, he suddenly spills everything to Hal, who simply held the shorter young man to his chest, stroking his hair. He told him of being captured, tortured, forced to fight and having his arm cut off and replaced as a constant reminder for nine months before landing on Earth, just to be taken into space again. He told him of what's happening in space, how much he missed Earth, and Hal and Bruce and how miserable he was, pretending to be someone he wasn't, and how tomorrow was the day he died...
All Hal did was hold him more close and tighter, whispering soothing words to him. After half an hour, Hal lets go of Jason and the two just sit there, looking at each other.
"So...how's B?" Says Jason.
"Spooky?" Says Hal, relief sparking his golden eyes, "he didn't break down really badly, but he basically sent a bunch of us to Kerberos to investigate. We found nothing, but he was so sure you were alive." He takes a deep breath. "For the past few weeks, I've actually been staying at the manor. Dock had temporarily come back, and begged for me too. Damian...we celebrated his birthday. You know, he allowed me to calm him after he had a nightmare that night, and he told me his wish. You know what it was? That you would come back, that he could have his older brother back again."
Jason smiles. He suspected that the demon brat had a heart... he looks at Hal. Suddenly, he frowns. He leans forward, and with a shaky left hand, brushes away some of the hair at his left temple. His stomach flips. There was a small streak of unnatural white. He removes his hand, the hair falling back in place, and looks at the other side of his head. Same there.
"Hal...what happened?" He says. The twenty-five year old smiles wryly.
"Not the Lazarus pit, if you're worried."
"Then what is it?" Hal hesitates.
"It's a story for another day. You seem depressed enough already." He gets up, and grasps Jason's hand and pulls him up. "Now, to pull myself from my banishment..."
"What banishment?" Says Jason.
"Nothing." Says Hal quickly. "Now, I'll take you down, a d we can give Spooky a good 'ol scare." Jason laughs.
"Alright. Drop me off at one of my warehouses, and I cam gear up and scare them and...my team." He says. His face falls, but Hal quickly outs an arm around his shoulder and leads him out.
"Din't fret." He says. "We'll deal with all this later." They head to the bridge, and Hal leaves Jason outside as he goes back to his uniform, enters, and tells the Paladins of whatever that he's taking Jason to his dad. They say that they'll change into more...casual clothing and teleport down to Gotham within the hour. Hal secretly grimaces, but smiles.
He exits, and smiles and Jason. They walk to an airlock, and the Lantern surrounds themselves in green before they fly out the ship. He quickly constructs a small jet, and seats Jason, and then himself in it, before he puts his hand on the throttle and they're off to Gotham
————— note ———
So, I was going to have no GL in this fic, but then wanted to create a Voltron and GL Crossover, so why not just out Hal in the middle of this? I was planning a more secretive Jason and no Hal, with him keeping his dual identities a secret and then a big reveal, then I thought "nah".
So, what do you think happened to Hal? Whats up with his self-imposed exile? Just see, this is where I'm regretting not making this a JLA and Voltron fic.
Next chapter is going to have the Batfam, and thank you for those that have read, liked, followed, or commented! Please comment any suggestions!
