Part 3/7

I own nothing~

Warning: I am not sure how you may feel about this, but the eff word is used in here. I apologize if that offends, however I honestly believe it fits the mood, and is the best for the job.


Green Lantern


Lust

He wasn't sure if what he was feeling was normal, but whenever he looked at her there was something he felt in the pit of his stomach.

He wanted to reach out and stroke the delicate gray feathers of her wings- were they as soft as they looked? He decided to be grateful that the Flash didn't know about his feelings, after all- he really didn't need any comments about his so-called "wing fetish".

Envy

GL knew some of his Marine buddies weren't sure how to deal with him anymore. He wished he could prove that he was still a Marine, underneath his new shiny green accessory.

He just wished he could tell what they were feeling, rather than just the fact that they were feeling something about his change in status.

Wrath

"Dude- you tried to hurt my friends! I'm a Green Lantern- a Green Lantern and a marine!" GL had been a marine. The guy who had tried to hurt them all never stood a chance. Ever. Woe be unto those who hurt a marine's friends, no?

"GL…"

"Yeah Flash."

"That was so cool! I didn't know you said 'Dude', though."

"Wally- shut up."

Greed

"Okay GL- I yield! You can have the last cinnamon roll!"

Pride

"You know what- maybe I am a credit to "my race"- the human race."

"Okay, but if that guy comes back and insults you again, I'm beating him up."

Gluttony

There was nothing- absolutely nothing better than coming home to the smell of something good cooked in the oven.

Especially when it was being cooked by your mother. GL grinned ruefully, he probably would have to do some training after the day was out to make sure he didn't "lose it".

Sloth

He woke up at six in the morning- same as every day. He moved to get out of bed, but female arms pulled him closer.

'One day couldn't hurt.' And he went back to sleep.


Chastity

Please- I know you weren't a virgin before I met you, you being with Hawkgirl and all, so why should my past be any different?

Kindness

There is no kindness in it, in watching her go- but is there a kindness in forcing her to stay, a bird in a gilded cage of broken hearts and false promises?

Patience

He knows he should be patient with the kid- but really? Why was the kid in jail? And now he was spouting off nonsense about "talking gorillas".

"…We both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial, I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt."

Damn kid had a point.

Charity

It's still one of his traditions at Christmas- no matter what else is happening. But this he hadn't expected.

"Hello Mr. Stewart, thanks for offering your time to help us deliver toys again this year- here's your partner, Wally West. Good luck, and Merry Christmas!"

Humility

It's his first time meeting Vixen's folks, and he desperately wants to make a good impression.

"Hello, I'm John Stewart, er… I'm the guy who's dating Mari right now."

"Hello. She's told as a lot about you." A man- taller than him, and looking rather scary. GL had a hard time deciding whether it was her brother or her father.

"…She has?"

"Don't worry it's all good." Came an older female voice from behind the man (her Grandmother…?) "Come on in John Stewart- we've been expecting you."

Temperance

He doesn't drink anymore, except for one day a year.

Upon that day he goes and buys as much alcohol as he can afford. Going down to the cemetery he starts to calmly get drunk.

Normally she doesn't come until he is right upon the cusp of sobriety and inebriation whereupon she grabs the harder stuff, and starts to get drunk herself.

"He was… Just a kid, ya know?"

"I know John."

"Fucking kid- He wasn't even old enough to legally drink, I checked.

"I know."

"He was going to turn twenty-one in two months, two fucking months. Then Luthor had to go and… To go and…" He started to cry, another tradition since the… Incident.

"I know John. I know." If she was crying, it couldn't be seen underneath her mask- she wouldn't take it off in public, not ever.

And both Lords continued to drink at the grave of their fallen friend.

Diligence

He is always scanning for trouble, for a place an enemy could be- maybe. It's just a habit, one he can't easily shake. There's a shadow, and he jumps to protect-

"Easy there- it's just a tree. Honestly, I'm a Superhero so stop doing that, okay?"


I hope you like this chapter~

For "Pride", I envisioned GL and someone else having to work something somewhere, and they meet someone who's completely racist. I'll leave what happened up to you guys, but this is the aftermath. X3

In "Patience", it's from the episode "The Brave And The Bold"

I had a really hard time with "Humility", I'm sorry. I may rewrite it sometime. Is Mari even Vixen's "real" name?

And, yes, for "Temperance" I did use Lord!GL, I hope that is acceptable?
