Chloe and Lucy followed Kilowog out into the garden and Lucy looked amazed at all the aliens around her. She looked at Chloe with wonder, "This is mindblowing. Less than an hour ago, I was in Smallville! Now I'm a million miles from Earth!"

Chloe smiled at her, "It's good to you smile, Luce. Haven't seen that enough from you."

Lucy was still excited, "Is that all you can say?" She gestures to the others, "Look around you. We see that there's life on other planets! How can you be so casual about it?"

She answers honestly, "I've known we weren't alone for a while, Lucy. And not to put a damper on your learning it, but while the ones here are trustworthy, there are just as many or more that would just as soon stab you in the stomach and leave you for dead."

Lucy glanced over as Kilowog commented, "These are from at least a dozen planets. They are representatives of each planet, chosen because they have strength of character."

Lucy glanced at Chloe knowingly, "Then Earth couldn't have a better representative."

Chloe chuckled softly, "Thanks for the support, Luce, but I'm far from the best choice for this. I had to reveal my darkest moments, remember?"

Kilowog offered, "If it consoles you, human, you would be interested to know that our records have proof that our selection process was once less strict than it is today. Decades ago, some Lanterns were stripped of their Ring when the power corrupted them quickly. They let their desires consume them and many suffered as a result."

Chloe seemed interested, "Could you show me?"

He nodded and led them into a hall with a large door at the end. Lucy noticed the hall had several pillars with small vials in a centrifuge. She asked, "What exactly are those?"

He answered, "Those are DNA strands of races that have gone extinct. Animals mostly, but a few are of races that once were very developed culturally and technologically."

Chloe looked amazed and faced him as she asked excited, "Like the Kryptonians?"

He smirked, "There are several samples of their DNA, but they are kept under higher protection protocols considering the potential for power it possesses."

Chloe whistles knowingly, "Ain't that the truth."

"They are many who would kill to obtain Kryptonian DNA. They would become unstoppable."

He started to say something but stopped when Ganthet interrupted, "How are you enjoying our fair planet?"

Chloe said sincerely, "Kiom Ahyl described it as vibrant and beautiful, but obliviously, words can be insufficient."

Ganthet smiled, "You honor his name, Green Lantern." He commented, "But we have yet to see if you are worthy to wear the Ring." He gestured for the three of them to follow him and he continued, "While we conduct our own sessions to filter worthy successors, the most reliable method for finding a worthy subject is exposure to the Lantern itself."

They entered a narrow room and Kilowog put his ring against a wall. A moment later, the walls in front of them faded to reveal a large emerald green Lantern symbol with a concentrated green energy. Lucy's jaw opened in awe and moved forward. Ganthet moved in front of her and said kindly, "While you may be kindhearted, child, you cannot approach. The results may not be pleasant."

She nods and glances at Chloe eagerly, "Well, Chloe, go on. Show us what this thing can do."

Chloe moved forward and stood a few feet from the energy in pausing. She glowed green and raised her hand into the energy. As her closed fist contacted the energy, Chloe inhaled as torrents of images and data entered her mind. Information about countless races, planets, and cultures made her look in in wonder.

She knew she was barely skimming the surface and she bravely pushed her hand inside the field. A blinding green rush of never-ending images suddenly deluged her. She closed her eyes shut tightly in pain as she endured the mental onslaught. She gasped in sudden agony as she felt the connection stop abruptly.

She must have blacked out for a bit because she suddenly saw Kilowog floating up to her carrying Lucy. She blinked a few times to regain her senses and commented, "Wow. That's a rush."

Lucy spoke panicked, "Chloe, you flew! You just took off after a minute and were just streaking all over the city. We've been chasing you for the last ten minutes!" Chloe looked surprised and looked around. Sure enough, she was likely 500 feet above the ground.

Chloe glanced at her meekly, "Look, I know you don't want me in danger and I don't want you to worry. However, I've been given this power and I'm not going to sit on the sidelines with it. The fact is, the role I have is dangerous. That's just the way it is."

Lucy slumped her shoulders accepting Chloe's explanation. After a minute, she smirked, "Well, I suppose Lois and I will have to keep you and Clark off the general's radar. I mean, we all know how he feels about vigilantes."

Chloe scoffed, "Yeah, and my boyfriend is one of them, too." She grimaces, "I wasn't supposed to say that."

Lucy chuckled, "Yeah, what's his name?"

Chloe answered, "Green Arrow."

Lucy's eyes went wide, "Lois dated the Green Arrow?" She shook her head, "You guys certainly have an interesting life."

"You have no idea."

Kilowog spoke somewhat warily, "We should return to the city, Sullivan; this area is intended only for the Guardians."

Ganthet spoke up as he floated up to them, "for that reason, it would seem that Chloe Anne Sullivan is indeed without fear, as Green Lanterns are intended."

Lucy looked impressed, "So her coming here makes her official?"

He nods, "And only one thing remains. The last one to come here recited a new oath all Green Lanterns would learn when the Ring was given to them. I believe that she have initiated a new oath."

Chloe looked unsure, "How would I say it?"

Ganthet told her, "The Rings energy will make it known to you."

Chloe flexed her hand and her Ring glowed brightly. She inhaled and Lucy looked on curious as her hazel eyes faded to a pale green. She glowed green and flew gently back toward the garden where the majority of the Lanterns had now assembled. Chloe spoke loudly into the crowd, "You all know who you are." Chloe lifted her arm proudly and declared, "We are the Corps!"

The crowd all spoke with honor, "We are the Corps!"

Chloe recited with zeal, "In brightest day; in blackest night; no evil shall escape our sight. For those who worship evils might; beware our power; Green Lanterns light." The crowd repeated the new oath and all lifted their Rings skyward and a blinding green field of light filled the whole garden.
