The first time skip for the Lantern. GL- 3 months after he got the ring.

CHAPTER 14- GREEN LANTERN

OA- 3 MONTHS LATER

Hal Jordan summoned a giant fist made with green light, and struck his sparring opponent, Thaal Sinestro. The Korugarian blocked the blow using a shield made of similar energy. Hal battered the shield with a barrage of light missiles, until his opponents energy shield cracked and dissipated. Hal violently sheathed two swords, both a luminescent jade, strong with his concentration.

No distractions, Jordan. He went toe to toe with Sinestro, matching each of his blows with his own swords, until at last he was overwhelmed. The Korugarian fiercely hissed.

"You are stronger, Hal Jordan. Your frustration comes out in your sparring, your anger at the guardians that they will not allow you to go home. You are but a child. They do not trust your judgment. Yet you have great potential. Already your powers as a Lantern are superior to mine, I regret to admit, and I have been a Lantern for many centuries. I do not know what it is that gives you this strength, but I hope you do not allow it to be tainted by fear."

"I fear NOTHING."

Sinestro nodded. "The power of will shall hold strong."

Hal said nothing, turning his back and lifting off from the ground, slowly increasing his speed until he was going so fast he was risking a collision with the skyscraping monuments of Oa. Why won't they let me go home? I never wanted this responsibility! I never wanted this power! I don't want to be some space cop! I want to go home to Diana! Were only a few of his thoughts that ran through his head as he tried to calm himself. Flying gave him freedom, and it was one of the only powers he truly enjoyed. He still would give it up to go back. He boosted himself faster, trying to reach the guardians as soon as he could, Hal had been summoned.

Slowing down eventually, he landed softly at the guardians' towers feet. He bowed down if only to placate the guardians, he needed to get on their good side to convince them to allow him to leave. The guardian that had showed him the Lantern Power Battery spoke.

"Hal Jordan, we are pleased with your progress. But we cannot allow you to leave as you so desire as of yet"

Hal bit his tongue so hard he was sure it was bleeding, trying not to say something spiteful in response. "Why, may I ask, Guardian?"

"We need all the Lantern Corps we can get, there is a threat approaching Oa. A monster, called Parallax. It was once a guardian, but he was corrupted by the Yellow Fear Energy. It now possesses almost limitless strength and is bent on destroying the Green Energy of Will."

"So why have I been summoned."

"We understand you are but a child, but you posses great will. We wish you to lead the assault along with your mentors, the Lanterns Kilowog, And Thaal Sinestro"

Oh great, Sinestro. The biggest stick in the mud ever to exist. Hal again suppressed his irritation and took a deep breath. Oh he would accept. If this "Parallax" was as threatening to the guardians as they said, then if Hal beat it, he could definitely leave. He wasn't afraid in the slightest. He had a lot of pent up aggression and was sure that would come in handy in a fight, and he was willing to do anything to return to Diana. I wonder if she misses me…

Hal took another deep breath and spoke. "Yes, I will lead your assault. And when we defeat this monster, I wish to return home."

"We agree to your…condition."

"May I take my leave?"

"Go, Hal Jordan"

Hal turned around and lifted off, searching for Sinestro. He needed to make a plan…

So that's that. GL can beat Parallax then go back home to Diana…or will something else happen?

A/N-I just realized because I'm new here I am totally spoiling you with updates, all 6 of you following so far…well thank you for following…Hehe. That sounded a bit morose, didn't it. I appreciate any feedback, bad or good, so feel free to be a psychopath and say whatever you want about the story. Okay don't actually do that, but freedom of speech, people, so REVIEWWw. And I know as the author I might seem a bit immature, I am. As a friend of mine once said, "Whets the point of being a thousand years old if you can't act like a child sometimes?" *winks.
