It hadn't been in Anakin's weekend plans to take care of the glowing green man who fell from the sky. But life was funny. So here he was.

Anakin had been leaning on the railing to his front porch when a green meteor plummeted out of the sky, taking a header into his back lawn. He had rushed forward, immediately on guard, but feeling the tug of the force pull him towards a distressed lifeform.

The lifeform appeared to be a man, humanoid at least, who wore a green and black suit with a small mask that barely covered his eyes and nose. His dirty brown hair was streaked with blood. Anakin was fairly sure this was the hero known as 'Green Lantern'.

Despite being unsure of what to do with him, it was painfully obvious that Green Lantern was not doing well. Rips perforated his uniform, and blood crusted all over his body. Despite both that, and the fact that the Lantern was completely unconscious, nothing appeared to be life-threatening, and Anakin hauled the unresponding body into his bathtub in his newly acquired and heavily mortgaged house.

Without even thinking, he called medical supplies to his hands, wetting a washcloth to run over whatever exposed cuts he could find.

'BATTERY LEVELS: 0%'

Anakin jerked away from the ring on the man's finger, which flashed a bright green before light spread over the Lantern's body, the suit disappearing as it did, revealing ordinary clothing underneath.

Anakin rushed to strip away the bomber jacket the man was wearing before it could become soaked with blood, sensing that the hero had a strong emotional attachment to the clothing.

After that, the only attention that seemed to be required was basic medical care - washing wounds and simple stitches.

Anakin sat back on his heels and sighed. The unconsciousness seemed to stem from a large lump on the back of the man's head, and he was loath to take the man to a hospital. From what he gathered, heroes didn't visit hospitals unless it was absolutely necessary, and he doubted there was a real possibility of permanent damage.

Anakin rubbed a hand through his hair before settling into a crosslegged stance, and allowing the force to flow through him into the man before him, attempting to ensure that the head wound healed correctly.

Time seemed to pass strangely, in the way it did when immersed in the force. Presently, Anakin was woken up by the pangs of hunger, and the realization that he didn't have any more gauze, but the man was still bleeding.

This was a problem.

He couldn't exactly leave the man in this condition, but clearly someone needed to go shopping. Palming his phone, he found Ulisses in his contacts. No answer. All Anakin knew was that he had better be busy doing something important.

Anakin worried his bottom lip between his teeth and eyed the man in front of him. He had to do it. There was no other choice, honestly.

He dialed Naomi.

She picked up on the 5th ring, voice ringing through the speakers. "Hey, Ani. Need anything?"

"Yeah… I need you to pick up some gauze, band-aids, um… disinfectant… and maybe some ice packs. And then bring them over to my house."

"What did Ulisses do."

Anakin snorted. "This actually has nothing to do with him. Just please do it, and quick? I'll explain everything when you get here. But don't tell anyone, okay?"

There was a brief silence followed by shuffling. "Right. I'm on it. Be there in a few."

Anakin nodded as he disconnected the call, sighing as he moved to find something to cover the Lantern's face for when Naomi arrived.

"I'm here!" Naomi bustled inside the door, clutching bags of medical equipment. "What's going on?"

"Yeah, um… there's a guy in the bathroom…" Anakin led her over to the bathroom where the unconscious Lantern still resided in his bathtub. "Yeah, he needs help."

The man's face was covered by a large pair of sunglasses, which Anakin figured would do about as much to protect his identity as the mask he'd been previously wearing would've.

Naomi didn't waste a second upon seeing the prone man, immediately rushing forward to make sure his feet were properly elevated and feel his pulse. "When was the last time he displayed signs of consciousness?"

Anakin settled in beside her, moving to rewrap a wound on his arm as Naomi held the limb steady.

"I don't know. I think he was unconscious when I found him. Don't worry, though, he'll be okay."

Naomi gave him a look that clearly displayed her lack of faith in Anakin's unsubstantiated medical venture.

"Alright… Ulisses already knows this but, uh… I've got some stuff to tell you."

For the first time around her, Anakin slipped the glove off his hand, the metal glinting warmly in the light.

"You… you said it was damaged in an accident…"

"Yeah… the idea is that people think I'm just shy about scarring, not…" Anakin sighed. "I mean, it was damaged in an accident. Where it got cut off. I built myself the new hand. Also… I was born with powers."

"You're a metahuman?"

"I don't think I've got a metagene. But I was born with powers - I can… move things with my mind," Anakin levitated a wrap of gauze to hover between the two of them.

"And I can jump really well. And, uh, I can… sense things? It's hard to explain, but I'm connected to life. So I can just tell that this guy is gonna be okay."

Naomi pressed a hand to her forehead, obviously teaming with questions, but refocusing on the wounded.

"And who's he? A superpowered friend of yours?"

"No. He…" Anakin paused, considering how much to tell Naomi. But, she deserved to know who she was helping, and he was trying to hide the man's secret identity.

"He literally fell out of the sky. I think this is Green Lantern."

Naomi's eyes widened. "Aren't there a bunch of those?"

Anakin shrugged. "Dunno. This is one, at least."

Naomi nodded, slowly. "Right. And… and he still needs more bandaging. Hand it over."

Anakin aquiced, impressed by Naomi's focus.

"You've got to have questions for me. I just dropped a lot on you."

"It can wait until I'm sure that he's going to be okay. Not that I don't trust you," Naomi immediately reassured, "I just want to double check - I don't know much about your powers."

Anakin nodded. "I understand completely. Do what you need to."

The next few minutes were spent in a blur of bandages and ice packs, before Naomi finally sat back on her heels and sighed.

"That ought to do it. Now… you said Ulisses already knew?"
