A Perfect Life Part 2

"He'll be six tomorrow mom can you believe it" said a young man; he wore square glasses and short brown hair, as he set down his jacket on the back of the chair.

"Time flies Jim" admitted a slightly older man with similar brown hair but combed back and a handle bar mustache and a small gut, sitting across the table from the man called Jim. Sitting next to the slightly older man was Hal Jordan and across from him was his mom who had grey blonde hair and wearing a black evening dress.

"Seems like yesterday you were begging me to teach you how to talk to girls" chuckled the slightly older man as he took a sip of his beer.

Jim pulled back his chair to sit, "Something you were never good at, Jack, in fact I think it was Hal who taught me how". The man named Jack choked up on his drink and threw a smile at his youngest brother.

"Speaking of, Hal when are you going to give me grandkids" interrupted his mom.

Hal broke out in a smile, "Don't you have enough with Jim and Jack's kids".

"Nothing wrong with having more" his mom protested, "will I even be 'alive'(Hal's entire vision fazed but quickly returned to normal) to see you at least get married to that girl Jennifer".

Before Hal could even think about the haze for a second his eldest brother Jack answered, "Jennifer? She's old news, mom."

"What about Maggie?"

"Older" replied Hal's younger brother Jim. Hal reached for his beer popping the lid knowing this might be a long night trying to explain why he hasn't found the one yet.

"Is there anyone your actually seeing Hal?" questioned his mom and his two brothers turned their own curious eyes on him. It took Hal a split second before a face popped up. They had been dating but...an image of a dead green lantern in a crashed space ship broke into his mind.

"Wasn't her name Kendra" responded Jim giving a slight nod to Hal.

"Y-yeah" admitted Hal.

"How come I never heard of her?" came an older voice from behind. Hal whirled around to see his dad, a man that almost looked identical to Hal except being an inch or two shorter, having grey cropped hair, and bigger build covered by a green button up shirt and jeans and wearing an old aviator jacket.

"Hey dad"

"Password: war world" Said a yellow giant humanoid as he held a green prickly long vine in his hands in front of a large silver box with a satellite dish on top with the antennae over a good six feet.

"System ready" responded the computer.

"Activate D.N.A. Locator" he demanded as he slowly shoved the vine into an open port in the grey box.

"Searching through sectors 0 to 3600" responded the computer as the antennae slowly split into three and a soft light began to emit from the center, "Current Location Sector 2814"

"Power Star gate" Mogul demanded as he took a step back as his entire machine began to pulse with energy.

"Bio-electric auras processing." the computer said, "Star Gate Ready to Receive" It responded again as blue energy started pulsing from the split antennae to the sky where a small yellow circle began to appear.

"Searching..."

"Where is she?" Oliver said to his son as they ran down the brightly lit and white walls of the hospital, "Where's your mom William" Doctors and Nurses watched as the two vigilantes ran by not shocked or surprised as everyone in Star City knew the Green Arrow and Arsenal was.

"She's in here dad" pointed William at a double door entrance.

Oliver ran in to see his wife already in the process.

"Mr. Queen Green Arrow" said the doctor assisting his wife, "It's an honor"

"That's great Doc. Just tell me how my wife's doing" he said already heading right to her. Samantha gave a strained smile and extended her hand.

"Your wife's fine" admitted the doctor.

Samantha gave a slight scream and Oliver grabbed her outstretch hand and looked down at her agonized face, "I'm right here Samantha. Just like William..." Oliver's entire vision buzzed for a second.

"I'm right...here. I was..." the world buzzed again for another second but it was shattered by another cry of pain from Samantha. But it wasn't enough; he remembered the day William was born.

"Congratulations Mr. Queen you have a new son." The doctor said as she lifted a squealing new born child.

"I...No..." Oliver said as the buzzing appeared on and off.

"Dad, are you okay" questioned William placing a hand on Oliver's shoulder.

"This isn't me!" yelled Oliver covering his head.

"This isn't my life!" he screamed.

Hal was sitting behind the pilot seat of the X-35 fighter jet.

"Okay what's wrong, Hal" asked his father from the pilot seat in front.

"w-what" Hal said pulling himself from his thoughts.

"Usually when we're this high in the air and you haven't once asked me to do a cobra roll with pirouette" Hal's dad responded, "and by now you be complaining about how your mom used the 'm' word during dinner".

"I don't know dad" Hal finally admitted looking out the side as dark clouds began rolling to their direction.

"You know son" said Hal's dad as lightning shattered free from the dark clouds.

"Dad!" Hal said noticing how quickly the dark clouds got to them.

"We can't dwell on the past Hal, we can't wish for what was we get what we get and we keep going".

"Dad you need to bring the plane down" Hal yelled reaching out to grab his dad. His father turned to him with a sad smile.

Red Cracks ripped through the dark sky as a face formed. It had a scraggly blonde beard and a green hood with blonde hair barely poking out from under.

"Ollie!" Hal yelled recognizing his best friend.

"Hal, wake up its fake all of this is fake" Ollie screamed.

Mogul watched smugly as his black mercy's squeezed themselves around their human, animal victims.

"Hey what ya doin" asked a voice from above. Mogul whirled around to see a buff albino skinned humanoid sitting on a black hover bike with a skull where the headlight would be. he had red eyes and a black mullet.

"You are Lobo the bounty hunter" Mogul recognized, "If you are here for me then I say you'll have a fight on your hands for i will not go down easy."

Lobo just laughed, "The main man ain't here for you piss liver boyo, and I'm here for the green lantern"

Mogul growled, "I am not handing over the green lantern to you 'main man'" spitting the last words, "He is mine to torture and kill for my father."

"Well it looks like we got ourselves a fucking problem" said Lobo as he pulled out a long barreled laser shotgun and rested it on his handlebars still directed at Mogul.

Mogul didn't respond instead lunging at Lobo

The scenery changed and Hal was no longer in a jet but standing in front of a chain link fence surrounded by a dozen people all looking up in the air as thunder disturbed the calm. Hal instinctively looked up to see a metal object soar through the air dancing close to the sun forcing Hal to cover his eyes and the too long aviator jacket sleeve covered mostly his right eye.

He looked at himself to realize he was a kid again.

"No" Hal yelled as he remembered the small hole in the chain link fence.

"Having some problems up here Ferris. Oils getting eaten up pretty quick. I think the last of the torque pins just failed. I thought this was sent to I-level repairs" came Hal's dad's voice over a phone that a man was holding with a little girl with black pigtails standing in front of him watching the jet like Hal was.

"It was" the man replied.

"I need to bring it in. Away from the crowd" He responded over the phone again.

"Keep it flying Jordan" the man said frustrated, "there's no external leakage, the plane is fine, we have investors watching and that's a fourteen million dollar jet"

"Dad." Hal said dropping to his knees and crawling through the small opening.

"Dad! that boy is trying to sneak in" the little girl told her father.

"Hal!" yelled the man but Hal ignored him already knowing what was going to happen. He could do something he thought.

The Jet made a jerking dive.

"Dad!" Hal screamed as the jet collided with the ground exploding into a thousand pieces.

Hal was no longer at the air strip but in a field in Ohio.

He looked down at his chest noticing the black mercy on his chest. Tears formed on his eyes as he imagined a green spike emerging from his chest and it did tearing the black mercy in pieces.

He looked over as Oliver struggled the vines off him.

"How'd you know Ollie?"

"We shared a plant so it wasn't able to produce too strong an illusion plus your will power over powers mine" Ollie explained, "It showed me a life you thought I deserved being a family man."

"Yeah you're trying with William right, you want what's best for him.

"Hal, I was there when William was born, I chose to walk away" He said. Hal stared at him in shock and then shook his head.

"Maybe you did" Hal said, "but I truly doubt it was out of selfishness, Ollie, you did it cause you cared about William's life.

Ollie looked over at his best friend to say something but both were interrupted by a loud explosion.

"We're not out of the woods yet, Hal" Ollie said.

Both heroes rushed to the area of where the explosion originated and seen two aliens fighting. Mogul grabbing trees and hurling them at a white humanoid floating above in a transporter that looked similar to a motorcycle dodging the trees and shooting at Mogul with his laser shotgun.

"You know that one?" asked Oliver noting the alien on the bike.

"Nope, but I'm more worried about that thing over there" Hal pointed toward a weird multi grey box with a giant attenae on top that seemed to be creating a blue portal in the air.

"Oh well crap" Oliver said.

Hal and Oliver ran to the weird looking machine.

"Do you know how to shut this down?" asked Oliver befuddled by the complex controls and odd looking symbols.

"Ring?" Hal asked, a green glow shot out of the ring and began covering the odd machine with its light.

"Scan complete" the ring responded, "Possible solution…Pull down lever, press the orange button and disconnect antennae immediately before the star gate explodes releasing a nuclear radiation"

Hal looked at his friend and quickly looking for the lever and orange button while Oliver climbed on top of the machine. Oliver began messing with his belt and opening and closing pouches.

"What the hell are you doing?" Hal asked as he finally located the lever which was the size of a baseball bat and began to desperately pull it down.

"Felicity thought it was a good idea to have a belt with pouches that hold things I might need." Oliver said.

"Like a plumber's utility belt" Hal said as he began to form robotic arms around his and grabbed the lever again.

"Why does everyone compare it to a plumber's utility belt, but yeah and I think I have some acid in one of these pouches."

"You have acid in your belt that is connected to your waist what if someone punctured it in a fight, bye bye Arrow children" Hal grunted as the lever began to give way.

"The pouch is lined with a protective inside so it won't be able to hurt me" Oliver explained, "also I put it in something where it can't be easily broken". Hal finally successfully pulled down the lever and began to look through the control panel for the orange button.

"Got it" yelled Oliver pulling out a small canister and began to unscrew it and place it near the antennae.

"Ring which button is it?" asked Hal as there were multiple orange buttons each with a different symbol.

"I got it Hal" Ollie yelled as the acid ate through most of the antennae leaving it at an odd angle, "never mind" as the antennae didn't completely break and kicked at the base.

Another green light scanned the control panel before lighting up only one button.

Hal quickly punched the button, "Ollie?"

"Almost got it" Oliver said as the machine began to light up yellow. Oliver gave one final kick and the antennae screamed at being broken off its stand and fell off the machine. Oliver rolled off the machine as Hal covered it with a protective green bubble and float it into the quickly shrinking blue portal. It was halfway through the portal before white light exploded outward sending both heroes to the ground.

Mogul whirled around to see his machine destroyed.

"NO!" he screamed rushing at the two heroes who were forced onto their backs.

Rain abruptly drops from the aloof clouds in the sky on to the bustling city of Central City. Down on the streets below was an eighteen year old dark skin man standing at the cross section annoyed at the down pour.

He was having a crappy day he had to take the long way to get home because the city was still rebuilding since the gorilla invasion, and maybe if he got home quick he couldn't finish the Calc homework so he could have time to play the new Destiny expansion pack. While he was contemplating on what he wanted to do a little girl had dropped her a ball and without warning ran across the street to grab it.

"Hey!" yelled the mom. Wally looked up to see the little girl trying to grab her ball. The scariest sound at the moment ranged through that street a car horn. Wally looked to the left to notice a metro bus barreling down the street just a few seconds from crossing the crosswalk and hitting the girl.

Maybe it was instinct, most likely a small part of him thought maybe he could push her out of the way for whatever the reason Wally took a step forward and in that moment he felt lightning striking him again. Time slowed as Wally took his second step. Each drop of water stood in the air only being moving as Wally's body came into contact with them forcing them onto his yellow hoodie. He took his third step and he appeared next to the girl. By his fourth step he had already wrapped his arms around the girl's body looking to the left as the bumper of the metro bus stared him down. His fifth step he felt the metro bus clip his back but he kept moving. By his sixth and final step he and the girl were safely on the other side. By his seventh step he was a good couple feet from the now safe girl and he realized he couldn't stop.

People, places all danced through his vision too fast for his mind to fully comprehend yet as if it was on a time delay. His feet refused to stop.

In the back of Wally's head he felt a spark of electricity. Someone grabbed his shoulder.

"I got you" said the voice to his left. He looked and it was the flash running beside him. The flash recognized him as he made an 'O' face. Without wasting any more time the flash guided him to a stop but Wally not having the hang of it yet ended up rolling to a stop before crashing into a pack of water barrels. Water drenched the already wet yellow hoodie.

Wally looked up as his favorite hero stared at him in shock.

"Wally?"

Hal quickly created a green shield as Mogul landed on right where Oliver would have been.

"I will not let you ruin my inheritance" yelled Mogul as he slammed his fist into the force field. Suddenly Mogul was blasted off the shield as Lobo flew in on his hover bike shooting another multiple rounds of laser fire at Mogul.

"Sorry Junior, but Green Lanterns mine"

"I guess that means he's not our friend" Oliver concluded.

"I guess not but if they're willing to kill each other to get to me I'll allow it" Hal said as a suit of armor wrapped around Oliver.

"Hey!" yelled Oliver in protest.

"Sorry Ollie for your protection"

"Whatever let's do this" Oliver said as a giant green bow appeared in his new glowing green armor. The force field dropped around them as both heroes rushed to join the fight, Hal taking the air, and Oliver on the ground notching three green energy arrows onto his armored bow.

The arrows soared in the air, one hitting Lobo's hover bike's exhaust pipe causing it to exploded, while the other two arrows punctured the alien's back.

"My bike" Lobo yelled as it exploded under him.

Hal created a giant green battering ram and dropped it on top of Mogul. Mogul caught it but didn't notice the giant green boot reeling back to kick it in the chest. Mogul was knocked from under the battering ram and into another farm a good quarter mile away.

Oliver ran up on to the rising Lobo who was on his knees grabbing at random pieces of his bikes and trying to put them together. Oliver slammed his energy bow over the aliens head but it broke on contact. Lobo turned to look at Oliver with such hate that his red eyes matched perfectly with his emotion.

"Oh uh it was an accident" Oliver tried to explain holding up his arms in surrender. Lobo brought back his arm and swung in full force at Oliver's face. Oliver winced in anticipation only to hear a crack. He looked to see a green brick wall in front of him.

"You're here for me, well here I am" yelled Hal as he flew right at Lobo bringing back his fist to hit him. Lobo caught it and slammed the hero to the ground creating a crater.

"I'm here for you boyo but now I'm going to kill your friend..." But Lobo couldn't finish the sentence as Oliver Kneed Lobo in the face forcing him off Hal. Lobo looked at Oliver like he hadn't eaten in years and slowly rose his hand up to wipe the blood from his mouth.

"Oh crap" Muttered Oliver as he got into a fighting stance.

"Well" Hal chuckled as he got up, "It's been nice knowing you, Oliver".

"Oh shut up" Oliver snapped back at his best friend as Lobo charged at both heroes.

Both heroes dove to the side but Lobo reached out grabbing them both by the foot and slamming them into each other. He then began to whirl them around but Hal wasn't going down easy as he created a green electrical shock down his leg and into Lobo's hand forcing him to let go. Using momentum Oliver angled himself upside down in the air and fired at least two arrows into the stun Lobo's chest. Both arrows exploded on impact knocking the alien on his but. Oliver lost all his air as he hit the ground. Hal recovered himself in the air and charged at the knocked down Lobo grabbing him from his back and flew high enough in the air that he was barely tree top level so Lobo would slam into every tree.

"Battery Level at 20%" responded the ring warning him of his power level dropping. At that slight distraction Lobo was able to successfully grab Hal's arms and yank him face first into the back of Lobo's head. Hal let go of Lobo out of shock though his face was protected from Lobo's hit. Lobo dropped to the ground with a huff. He looked up at Green Lantern who stared in shock.

Lobo's face was a mess as skin was torn off in chunks, revealing bone and muscle.

"What..."

"You made me ugly you poozer" grunted Lobo as his hands grabbed the stretched skin and tried to readjust it back.

Hal finally over his shock created a giant fly swatter, "its a major improvement to your previous look" Lobo removed his hands to reveal it had heal back to normal before jumping out of the way.

"I ain't out yet you nutmegger"

"what?" Hal said in confusion and caught off guard as a chain wrapped around him.

"I got ya" Laughed Lobo. A Giant Green Chain cutter appeared and cut the chain just as Lobo made a violent tug.

"I guess you really like the mano y mano" growled Lobo as he leap into the air winding back his fist, "my type of prey". Green Boxing gloves wrapped around Hal as he matched Lobo's punch with his own. Green light exploded from the connection. Hal was dropped like a sack of potatos and Lobo followed with a loud whoop.

Green lantern crashed to the ground with a grunt.

"Battery Level at 15%" cautioned the ring.

Hal slowly opened his eyes to see a pair of black boots coming straight at him. He couldn't move fast enough but luckily his thoughts were faster as a green wall quickly formed over him. Sadly it wasn't strong enough as Lobo crush through it landing on Hal's chest.

"That all you got poozer, I thought a Green Lantern is supposed to be better than this" Lobo smiled as he picked Hal up by his hair holding him level with his eyes.

"The try me" Lobo turned to look but was suddenly bombarded by a dozen explosion making take a few steps back.

Standing in the distance was a disgruntled Oliver queen in a broken up green armor holding up Lobo's laser shotgun.

"Hey that's mine" pouted Lobo pointing at the shotgun in Oliver's hand.

Oliver cocked it, "come and get it big boy"

Lobo let out a bark of laughter, "I just kicked the nutmeg out of your friend you think you got a chance against me"

Oliver just smiled. Lobo cocked his head in confusion before busting out in laughter again, "you must want to die, alright I can do that". Before Lobo could do anything else a roar shook the very ground.

"What the?" Lobo said almost stumbling.

"Pissed someone off, Lobo" Oliver said as a dark figure ascended into the sky, "try taking him on". Mogul landed right in front of Lobo and gave the bounty hunter a perfect uppercut as teeth flew from Lobo's closed mouth. Lobo was given a perfect arc in the air.

Oliver watched with vested interest as the two powerful aliens began tearing into each other knowing whoever won he would have to fight next. He stealthy grabbed Hal and pulled him away from the perimeter of the fight.

"wake up lantern" growled Oliver holding Hal up to his chest and lightly slapping him. Oliver cursed and proceeded to grab something from his pouch.

"Attention all League members, Green lantern's down and got two aliens fighting over who gets to kill him" Oliver said into the Justice League comms, "our location is Piqau, Ohio."

"And guys get here soon" Oliver muttered as he watched red energy pour out of Mogul's eyes into Lobo's neck.

Wally was sitting down in the middle of Star Labs it was his first time inside the once optional labs. But seeing Cisco, Caitlin, and Harrison performing tests on him. The Flash watched with guilt as his sister and father watch with worry.

"Heart rate is steady" said Caitlin checking her pad and pressing some buttons on the console of the treadmill.

"How fast is he going, Cisco"

"his top speed seems to be 120 mph" Cisco responded.

"Cool" muttered wally.

"Alright that's enough running for now Mr. West" said Harrison pushing his wheelchair from out of the room to talk to flash and his family who were watching through the glass.

Wally tried to slow down only for him to misstep and fly off the treadmill into the wall. Or at least he hit the wall if the Flash hadn't caught him, knocking them both to the floor.

"I guess I need to learn how to stop" joked Wally looking at Flash who didn't seemed pleased at all.

"Wally!?" Iris yelled rushing in, "are you alright?" Wally nodded his head. Flash got up and noticed Harrison calling him over.

"Yeah" he asked once out of earshot of the rest of everybody.

"From what we gleamed from Wally he was struck by lightning during the gorilla invasion" Barry's expression darkened.

"We think it might have happened when you and Grodd traveled into the speed force."

Before either man could say anything there was a loud beeping that came in a certain pattern. Barry raced to the noise and pulled out his communicator and heard Green Arrow's message.

"I'm sorry to go but I'm needed elsewhere" Said Barry looking each person in the eye before resting on Wally, "We'll talk later" he promised. Then he was gone the only thing identifying he was there was a slight breeze with electricity buzzed where he was.

OA

Planet that is in the center of the Universe. Home world to the Green Lantern Corps.

A pink skinned humanoid with a pig like nose, and large jaws busted through the chambers of the Guardians of the Universe; the founders and leaders of the Green Lantern Corps.

"Kilowog you can't go in" cried out another humanoid alien that was scrawny, four arms, and a diamond shape head.

"What is the meaning of this" cried out one of the eight dwarf blue skinned bald aliens.

"The meaning of this I just learned one of our own has just been killed and you're keeping this a secret!", yelled Kilowog pointing his large stubby finger at the floating guardians.

"We need to go out there and find the person who did this" continued Kilowog.

"we already know who the culprit is Kilowog" responded another guardian this one with white hair tied back in a ponytail.

"Then why the hell aren't we going after this poozer!" demanded Kilowog as a green light encased the lantern.

"He is right, siblings" replied another guardian with his white hair combed back, "we had tried to keep this quiet knowing the reaction informing the rest of the corps would be but now we can no longer sit idly by with him out there."

The guardians looked at each other before speaking in unison, "We will arrest the criminal ourselves". And with blinding green light they disappeared.

Oliver almost trip as he carried Hal's body on his shoulders. It was best to get as far away from the battling aliens until the rest of the Justice League could get here.

"Damn it Hal, you need to stop eating so many chili dogs"

"But they're so good" Hal grunted. Oliver dropped Hal from his back.

"Ow" groaned Hal as he tried to get up, "I'm wounded here"

"Yeah well guess how I feel for being knocked around and then having to carry your green lard for the past eleven minutes"

"What happened to Lobo" asked Hal rubbing his chest. Suddenly a loud scream pierced the air. Hal and Oliver turned toward the approximate area of the sound.

"Busy with Mogul" Oliver said, "And it sounds sooner or later we're going to have to face the winner".

"You contacted the others?" Hal asked.

"Yeah, Flash should be here about in hopefully in six minutes, you ready for round..."

"Three" Hal answered, "Ring?"

"Power Level 3%" it responded.

"I should be good for another three minutes".

"You don't have three minutes Lantern" said Mogul walking forward from the darkness holding Lobo's head by his hair.

"Gross" muttered Oliver.

"Well you ain't so pretty yourself poozer" replied Lobo.

"..." Hal and Oliver stared in shock.

"It take a lot more than cutting off a head to kill a Czarnian" Lobo said before laughing hysterically.

"Enough" growled Mogul dropping Lobo's head to the ground.

"Ow" muttered Lobo, "that rude"

Oliver raised his stolen laser shotgun and Hal began to create a construct. A bright Green Light engulfed Mogul and green chains became visible as they wrapped themselves around Mogul restraining him. Once secured he was shot into space.

"Did you do that?" Oliver asked.

"We did the Guardians of the Galaxy" as the guardians appeared.

"Uh oh" Hal said.

"Uh oh?" Oliver looked at Hal then the guardians, "Why uh oh?"

"The guardians never leave Oa this must be something serious" Hal said.

"Correct Green Lantern of sector 2814, we are here because you are under arrest for the murder of Green Lantern Tomar-Re".

"W-wait what?" Hal asked but suddenly green chains wrapped around Hal's wrist and ankles, "you will be taken to Oa to be judged by your peers"

"Hey what about me, do I still get paid?" asked Lobo hopping up and down.

"You were hired to capture Green lantern and failed to do so". A green box appeared entrapping Lobo's head.

"We also had no intention of truly paying you, you're wanted in two hundred sectors and broke a thousand laws" replied another guardian as he took hold of the box.

"You got this wrong" Oliver yelled, "Hal would never kill, especially one of his own lanterns."

"This does not concern you earthling" replied the center guardian, "but do not worry we will not let your world go unprotected". As he said that last part the ring around Hal's finger floated off and raced through the sky to find a new wearer.

"Now we must go" said the Center Guardian who clapped his hands.

"Hal!" Oliver screamed.

"I'm innocent" growled Hal, though Oliver wasn't sure who he was telling that to, the guardians, or Oliver. And with Hal's last words they were all engulfed in green light and disappeared.

Oliver stood there confused, tired, and most importantly angry.

He felt the ground shake a bit and he turned around to see Flash standing before him.

"Got here as fast as I could" Flash replied he did a quick 360 scan before turning to Oliver.

"Where's Hal?"

"He got arrested" Oliver replied.
