CyberTech Worlds Clash
Chapter LVI
Silver Light
Deep within the Milky Way Galaxy, a yellow and black ship was parked up in orbit with a huge gas giant, and the crew of three were certain no one had a clue they were there. However, they were in fact being monitored by Watcher of the orbital space station, Watch Tower that was orbiting the third planet from the sun. Though, they were only monitoring the alien ship for then, as the Earth didn't want to start any trouble unless trouble came their way.
There were two odd-looking (to humans at least) men on the ship, and they were wearing tight yellow suits. One would remind humans from the planet Earth of a snake, only this one had a humanoid body, arms, and legs with large clawed feet and hands. He was muscular and had deadly poisonous fangs, and slanted yellow eyes, and on his right hand was a yellow ring.
The other was a weird bluish/grey blob thing that was kind of transparent with tentacle like arms and legs, with only two fingers and toes, and his white eyes on storks to the side of his body.
However, they also had a human on-board. She was the only human in the Sinestro Corps. She was the Yellow Lantern that went by the name, Misty. She could be a bit of a troublemaker, but she did her best, and she was fairly good at getting out of trouble as well as getting into trouble.
Misty had an angled face and blonde hair that glowed with the power of the yellow ring on her left hand on her middle finger, which was a prime place to flip people the bird (whether they knew what the gesture meant or not), and she could make a giant glowing finger on top, it was great, according to her. Her suit was yellow and light black with a yellow pealed banana look over her shoulders and going over her small bust, and yellow rolled around her forearms.
She had a short yellow rippled skirt with a thin white belt. Her legs, arms and rest of her body was covered with tight light black. The material of her uniform had a plastic/leather/rubber look. Her boots were yellow and went up at a point to the sides just below her knees. In the centre of her chest was an odd yet simple looking maze grid in white on a black circle that glowed yellow, and white moving the edges of all the yellow including the yellow turtleneck.
Misty's eyes were glowing yellow and she held the look of a girl perpetually pissed with the universe as the ship they were on was squealing with alarms, and lights were flashing red as they rushed around and pressed controls trying to find out what was going on.
"It's the battery!" the serpent like alien hissed out as he thudded away at controls. "It's… its somehow burning through the cargo bay. It's weakening the ship, and disrupting power."
"Well, fix it you bloody snake for brains!" the human Yellow Lantern yelled out at him in anger. Her accent was thick and from the Southern United States of America, a Texan born young woman of just nineteen.
"I can't you stupid monkey!" he retorted in anger. "How the hell do you expect me to fix it? I have no more control over it than either of you, and with every passing second the cargo bay fills with more silver light, and I don't want to think about going in there, do you?"
"Let's just send in the spineless blob!" Misty demanded, enraged, her sneer so promising her wrath that even a huge guy like him took caution. Her eyes were alight with power and her blonde hair was glowing brighter with a soft yellow glow around her body.
"None of us can go in there," he replied, this time wary. "It's too dangerous, that thing doesn't like us much, for such a small battery it sure is a big problem. It doesn't even seem to be running low. It just seems to grow in power."
"Sinestro will not be pleased with us if we lose that lantern," the blob spoke after a moment as he looked to the girl. His demeanour was calm and thoughtful. He had been placed on the mission to keep the two of them from murdering each other. They also didn't want to draw attention to themselves as they had to travel so close to the Earth and didn't want the Earth Green Lanterns to notice them, let alone the fact the planet was chock full of extremely powerful beings who also might not appreciate their company, and they were getting some strange readings from Earth earlier, so they wanted nothing to do with that either.
"Then what the hell do we do?" the girl demanded, just getting more agitated by the morons.
"I believe, Misty that it would be wise to open the doors and eject it," he answered to their surprise and chagrin.
"Then we would have wasted all of this…" the snake alien hissed his annoyance and opinion.
"No, it will not go anywhere," the blob answered as if it should be obvious. "But outside in the cold vacuum of space it will not destroy us and will give us plenty of time to think of a way to transport it back to Sinestro."
"Then what are you waiting for!?" Misty demanded as she grabbed him by the scruff of his neck (well she guessed it was his neck) and started shaking him. "If this ship blows up you are so taking the blame. Sinestro's still pissed because of the last two ships I blew up!"
"Won't the Green Lanterns detect it?" the snake alien asked.
"Yeah, Blobby!" she agreed, shaking him some more.
"I-I can't detect many Green Lantern's, only one!" he quickly said. "And she seems new so we shouldn't have to worry about that! I have done my research, and John is away with Superman, and Hal is off training his pupil, which has left Guy who is nowhere in sight as far as I can tell. As long as the Justice League doesn't pick us up, we should be fine!"
"W-wait, she... and new?" Misty asked while the blob nodded in her deadly grip. "Is she cute...? No wait! How would you know looking like that? Just launch the stupid lantern into space before we go boom!"
Misty glared as she threw the blob into a console. He straightened himself out before he started typing away at the console until they watched the main monitor clear up to show the cargo bay now empty of light as a flood of power dimmed as the battery was sucked out of the ship's cargo doors.
However, all three of them grimaced as a trail of white/silver light was all they saw as the little thing just flew away, blazing across the dark of space. If Misty wasn't so angry, she might have found it a little amusing. After all, she was human and still had a sense of humour, but if they didn't get it back, Sinestro would kill them.
"You spineless fool!" she roared out flying forward she pinned the blob to the console while the snake guy tried in vain to pull her off. "Where the hell is it!?" she demanded, enraged. "Do you have any idea what the hell we're going to go through if we can't find it!?" she spat out with sparks of yellow in her eyes.
"I-its heading in t-the direction of… Earth!" he gasped out in pain before she pulled off him, knocking the snake to the ground and throwing the blob down on top of him, sneering.
"What the hell are you idiots doing!?" she demanded. She was almost alight with yellow flames that put the fear of her into the 'men'. "Get back to work and set a course for Earth!" she demanded enraged at their incompetence.
"O-our engines a-aren't online, they'll take a few hours to repair…" the snake whimpered out looking terrified. He may be older than her, but she tended to scare the most fearsome of men with her careless abandon of any common sense.
"Then you best hurry up!" Misty growled out in hate. "Before I turn you into a pair of snake skin boots!" she roared out.
They were both quick and nodded in frantic panic, scrambling to their feet and rushing out to begin repairs before she killed them. She was too volatile and dangerous for them to risk disobeying.
Bella pulled up the silver Mercedes in front of her house back in Forks Washington, on Earth-Four as it had been lovingly named, as the Javelin had dropped them off outside of town and would wait for them in orbit to be on the safer side, as they had a few satellites to drop off anyway, and that would take a fair while.
She was wearing some blue hipsters and a white top with white trainers. She had fussed that Barbara shouldn't have been spending so much money on her as they were some expensive brands, but the 'veteran' heroine wouldn't take no for an answer, at all. She wouldn't even let Bella pay her back once she could find a part time job, to help pay her way, or anything and it caused Bella to sigh, thinking about it.
Barbara was like the big sister Bella had always wanted; the big sister who would always look after her. Unlike her mother who had been more of the kid than her, not that her mother was a bad mother or anything because she had always made sure Bella had anything she needed and more. It was kind of nice to have a big sister though.
Then she had Kara and Cassandra too. She had met the small brunette, Cassandra Cain. She was... odd. Nice... but odd. It seemed like she was socially inept, and didn't understand people, but she was trying, and was only thirteen. It was kind of amusing how cute she looked while trying to introduce herself.
Cassandra had made lots of errors, and didn't talk much and hugged Bella while looking uncomfortable and confused, as apparently, she was taught that she should give her girl friends a hug in greeting by her friend Lyra, who as it turned out was a real live magician and went to magical school, but still found time to call Cassandra to see how her day went, which was sweet. Bella didn't get the whole magic thing, but apparently all universes had magic, but her world was lacking magical communities, so they had either died out or magic worked differently on this world.
It was unfortunate to learn that Cassandra's parents had been raising her to be an assassin before she was taken in by the bat family. It was just good that Cassandra had seen passed her teachings to be a better person, and she was trying very hard to fit in. She really was, and she may have been making some mistakes, but Bella felt she would succeed as she grew up, especially with some help from her friends. She also made an internal note to help the girl out with anything she needed too.
Kara had travelled back to Bella's world with her to look after her, and help her with anything. Gwen Stacy, who was a member of the Birds of Prey had wanted to tag along with them, but she had a conflicting schedule so had to stay home. She had originally been 'code-named' (which was just a superhero name), Red Spider, but with some new changes to her suit, she went for a new moniker that sounded better and more whole: Spider-Girl. She still used gravity tech, and the new suit did come from the same people who made her original tech, only now sporting the new impact armour like Supergirl's, but she looked more in-line with Spider-Man, and even Bella had to admit she looked super sexy in it.
"So, Forks is kind of small!" Kara said thoughtfully looking around through the car windows before looking at the house they were parked outside of. She had been slightly depressed that everyone seemed to have their driving licence but her, (except for Cassandra as she was too young, but she still had a jet and a motorcycle), but now she was back to her chipper self.
Bella had found Kara's disguise amusing. She had only tied back her blonde hair into a ponytail and placed on some glasses, but Bella supposed, who would think that the Girl of Steel would walk around and do things like a normal girl? Kara was wearing a tight pair of blue jeans, and a long-sleeved white top. It made her cute, and though she hated to admit it, Bella was annoyed that she probably wouldn't have even thought that Kara and Supergirl were the same person if she hadn't already known; it just wouldn't have crossed her mind.
"Yeah," Bella agreed, smiling. "I'm from Phoenix... so I guess I still prefer a city too. Though, a place like Forks would be nice to settle down in when I'm older. I'll always like the city more, like Domino I suppose, but tastes change... I think. I'm not really sure which is the best fit for me to be honest."
Kara nodded with a smile as she took Bella's hand in hers where her right hand still rested on the steering wheel. "Before we go, Bella, there are several... umm... Native American boys in your house with a man in a wheelchair and... I guess since he's the only non-Native American in the house, your dad!" she said, frowning as she looked passed the car and house.
"I... I don't know what is going on, but something is wrong with those boys," Kara added as she listened in, continuing. "T-they're trying to convince your father that you've gone off with these Cullen's and that you're lying about where you've been. T-they... a vampire?" she asked Bella in curiosity.
Bella had frozen and tensed up. She had completely forgotten about the whole vampire thing, though she spoke about them to Barbara, Kara was off getting a make-out session with that cute Harry Avalon guy at the time, and Kara bragged, and complained that it was ruined by some asshole supervillain, as she had been trying to get Harry for months, so the interruption was not appreciated.
"H-how do they know about the Cullen's...?" Bella asked herself more than Kara, and didn't wait for an answer. "W-what else are they saying?" she asked, straight to the point.
"Something about blood-sucking monsters!" Kara replied with a confused shrug before looking to Bella. "Do you hang around blood-sucking monsters?" she asked, curious.
"No... of course not," Bella quickly replied, blushing. "The Cullen's were... kind of nice and they didn't hurt people. They fed on animal blood rather than resort to humans. But they left, and I got mixed up with John and Hal, and then... then I met you. I suppose that was a better thing than I could have hoped."
Kara smiled and leaned over, pulling Bella into her arms for a quick hug. Bella hugged back, melting into the blondes' soft embrace.
"Everything will be okay now, Bella," Kara said, breathing in deeply. "You have me, and I'm not going to abandon you, ever. I promise," she finished as she pulled back, smiling.
Bella felt her cheeks heat up and smiled with a nod. "Thanks, Kara... so let's get going before I decide that we should just go home and come back when dads alone – and I don't want to do that, just thinking about how much a spaceship to space costs makes me feel bad, let alone one to an alternate universe."
Kara stopped Bella after a moment, frowning as Bella paused in opening her door, and Bella turned a look at her alien and new best friend in confusion.
"What...? That filthy..." Kara mumbled under her breath but Bella heard her. "I'm coming in with you. Those boys are trying to convince your dad to let them take you and... sort you out, so you don't go back to these vampires. Their heartbeats are fast, but sped up faster in excitement as that boy said that. Your dad is resisting. I don't think he doubts them about the vampire thing, but I'm not sure what he's thinking about them. I can't read minds, but these guys; they're not human!"
Bella looked at Kara in surprise. Her eyes lit up green. "If my dad's in danger from them, then we have to go in and put a stop to it," she said shakily as the glow faded.
Kara nodded as they both stepped out of the car, closing the doors, Bella pressed the remote button, which locked the car and set the alarms. She had lost her keys in the woods but the front door of the house was unlocked anyway so she walked in with Kara right beside her.
Bella closed the door behind them, and called out, "dad! I'm back, are you in!" she said as she pretended, she didn't know. "I saw your cruiser was outside!?" she finished as she walked the hall when a man with brown hair and a moustache stuck his head out of the lounge looking relieved, but concerned.
"Bella!" he said as he came out trying to keep his cool, but wasn't succeeding. "I wasn't expecting you for another hour or so," he said with a small smile.
"Well, the plane landed a bit earlier than expected, and traffic was pretty clear once we got the hire car," Bella said sheepishly. "This is my friend Kara... we'll be going to University together."
"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Swan," Kara introduced herself with a smile, shaking his hand.
"She's...not cold," Charlie mumbled to himself.
"Cold...?" Bella asked, pretending to be confused. "It might be a little drizzly dad, but it's actually not that cold out today, surprisingly for here!"
"B-but..." he tried to think of something to say.
Bella decided to come out and not beat around any bushes as she glanced into the lounge to see all of the boys in shorts with gross rippling muscles, and shirts off for some reason. They looked like if they would trip and fall on a person that they would accidently kill them they were that bulky.
"So, the tribe have told you what the Cullen's are?" Bella asked to her father's shock, but she frowned as she heard a growl from the lounge, but turned back to her father. "After seeing that alien thing on Sunday, I bet you couldn't doubt them," she said and his eyes widened!"
"Bella, we never told anyone about that, how, no, wait, these… vampires?" he said the word and grimaced like it was too unnatural. "Bella, they're-."
"Dangerous, yes, possibly," Bella agreed as she interrupted him. "But so is crossing a road… and people for that matter. The… Cullen's chose the high road in life to fight their basic instincts for human blood, feeding on animals just like a human does, except blood not meet, but I don't care about that now. I went to Kara's when Edward dumped me, and... I suppose that was good for me.
"Kara lives with her aunt, and her big sister got me into Uni on a scholarship, and all I have to do is finish my high school exams, which I'll be taking next week."
"I see," he said, confused while Kara nodded along with Bella.
"But where did you get that car, I saw outside?" he asked suspiciously. "You wouldn't choose to rent a car like that, surely Bella. The only 'people' I know who could afford-."
"Dad!" Bella interrupted, annoyed with him and glaring. "They didn't have anything smaller. You know what these places are like, and I didn't feel like looking elsewhere to get something more suitable. The plane was cramped as is," she said, with practiced ease, as she had actually practiced this particular white-lie, as the reason they took the car they did was because of all of its built-in tech.
"Okay, okay-," he said before stopping as he looked into the lounge at all of the boys watching and certainly listening in.
"Don't listen to her Charlie!" It was one of the boys. He hissed out as he swaggered forwards towards them. "She stinks of vampire!" he said smugly but even Charlie could see that was a blatant lie.
"Get out of my house!" Charlie suddenly hissed out as he surprisingly pulled his handgun from the holster on his uniform and aimed at the surprised boy. "Billy, sorry, but I am not going to stand around while you and these boys give me biased half-truths about the Cullen's, and then try to lie to me!"
"You believe her over us!?" the boy demanded with other boys standing with him. They were all vibrating and growling now. "You'll hand the bitch over, and we'll sort her out, make sure she understands her place!"
"I told you liars to get out of my house before I open fire!" Charlie said gruffly. "I'm the Chief of Police, and if you do not leave now, I don't care what kind of powers you think you have, I will arrest you!"
The boy charged and burst out of his skin. He turned into a huge, giant sized wolf with grey fur covering its muscular body. Its giant maw went for Charlie's throat while Charlie stood routed in fear.
However, the wolf-boy yelped out in pain as it was hit by a beam of green light. It crashed through the lounge and through the wall outside. "Don't go near my father!" Bella hissed out in anger as a green glow surrounded her and flashed red for a moment, but she was the only one who didn't notice.
Kara stepped back to watch for now as she knew that this would be good for Bella, and wouldn't step in until she needed too. Kara watched as Bella walked towards them. They looked to her in horror as her new outfit of green armour looked rather intimidating. They stepped back as the Green Lantern moved towards them and she wasn't in a good mood with them.
"My father told you to get out of our house!" Bella ground out and they moved back, eyes wide. "If you don't, I'm going to beat every last one of you up and take you in myself, and believe me, I can get you a cell no amount of doggy whining could get you out of!"
"Bella…" Billy, the man in the wheelchair said timidly as he rolled closer. "They're not all like this. They're forcing themselves to stay away. The pack alpha controls the pack, but these ones…-"
"Shut up!" the largest of the men roared out and kicked the wheelchair, man and all and he flew out and crashed out by Charlie Swan's feet with a cry of pain while Charlie crouched down to help the Native American man sit up and stared at the largest man in disgust.
"I'm sorry Charlie," Billy said breathlessly. "We couldn't stop them from having their way… but the others are keeping away so they don't have to follow the alphas orders."
"I said shut up!" the alpha said again. "Do you think that just because this girl has some kind of, what… magic that she can take us all?!" he laughed as he charged forward and burst out of his human skin into a monstrous black wolf, and jumped at Billy and Charlie when suddenly, Kara was in the way and grabbed the wolf by the muzzle clamping his jaws shut like it was nothing as he had moved too fast for Bella to react in time.
The wolf struggled and growled as it tried to pull away, but Kara's fingers were like steel clamps around his muzzle. Then without a word Kara tossed the wolf flying where he crashed through the hole Bella made in the wall just as the other wolf was trying to pull itself up and causing them both to yelp with pain. The other young men took cautious steps back as they finally looked concerned.
"You're not welcome here!" Kara said coldly. However, the four remaining boys all transformed in that second as their alpha whimpered a howl and they charged as if on command.
It was nowhere near a fair fight as by the time the alpha pulled himself up all four of his remaining minions were unconscious, and injured lying on the lounge floor and Kara hadn't looked like she had put in much effort.
However, in that moment, as the alpha looked at Kara in horror, Bella reacted to something completely different and new. She jumped back and a shield burst up and around her, her father, Billy, and Kara as she felt it. Then there was nothing but white noise. The colour to the world left and Bella felt the force greater than she could imagine folding into her green shield, and through her. Bella couldn't even see the colour of the new light as she had to close her eyes.
Bella fell to her knees from the force as the sound returned, and the white energy was gone. She could feel the blood trailing down from her head. Blood was dribbling from her mouth and nose. The wind and drizzle from the rain and mist blast at her hair. She felt sick and tired, exhausted, and dizzy. Her vision was blurred as she tried to see through the settling dust.
The house had been obliterated into rubble, and the whole street was starting to look like a slum in hell, but she was sure nobody would have been home, hopefully, it had been the middle of the weekday, so hopefully people were at work.
"D-dad!" Bella called out, shivering.
"He's okay! They both are thankfully," Kara called out from behind as Bella turned to see Kara bleeding from her head. Her clothes were scorched and torn up as she had used her body to shield Charlie Swan, Bella's father, and Billy Black from the heat of the blast while Bella's shield protected them from the worst of the explosion, but her dad and Billy were both unconscious and Kara carefully lay them down out of the way.
"W-what the hell just happened?" Bella asked, looking around, confused. "Those wolf guys… they're gone…. There was no way they could have survived that… but… it felt weird; that light was familiar… what could have done this?"
"I... I don't know, but have you looked at yourself?" Kara asked, blinking her eyes several times while trying to clear her head.
Bella looked down to see she was glowing silver. She couldn't make out what she was wearing quite well, but it was form hugging and tight to her body. It was white and silver from what she could tell, with some minimal black. It had a high collar over her neck and gloves over her hands with half boots on her feet, and last feeling her face she was surprised she didn't have a mask. Her hair was long down her back in a plat as it hung lower than her knees, and was a glowing silver colour, neatly pulled back tight to her head with a few strands loose over her forehead.
"W-what's going on...?" Bella asked, feeling odd. "I'm-I'm glowing and not green anymore, Kara!" she said as she was starting to feel panicked.
"I-I don't know Bella!" Kara replied as she leant up against some rubble while trying to fight off her own feelings of vertigo.
Meanwhile, several minutes previously back in Supergirl's universe, Misty had left her ship and her two idiot partners as the missing lantern had gotten too close to the Earth for comfort. In other words. It was practically on Earth. She couldn't risk the Earths new Green Lantern detecting the runaway Lantern and getting the League involved and keeping it from her.
Misty flew as fast as she could because she didn't want to have to deal with any of those do-gooders on her home world. Hopefully she wouldn't have to deal with anything like that or any little girl Green Lantern who might try stopping her. They would keep her from her target, and then Sinestro would be more than pissed with her, and she valued her life too much to risk that.
She could pick up the signal as it had moved to the Earth. It had already entered the atmosphere somewhere above Washington and then the signal had disappeared, which was strange. Something weird was going on a moment later as she couldn't detect the Watch Tower, but she shook that off, and quickly hurried as she did not want to think about them having detected her and used some kind of new stealth or something to trick her.
Misty really would prefer things to not be that interesting. She paused in space as she could see the Earth in all its magnificence. However, she was looking at her ring with a wide grin as she picked something up, she-personally found more interesting. Her ring had just about detected the iron trail of another ship before it lost the trail as suddenly as it picked it up, but it was there.
"Lindsey!" Misty muttered to herself as the Sinarch must have been cloaked nearby if it was still around, she knew her bestie foresties was likely hiding out around Earth. "So, you are my cheeky bestie after all, my dear. Yes. Hiding from me on my own home planet, very clever knowing Yellow and Green are at war and with all the Green Lanterns around that I wouldn't come home unless forced to for some reason.
"But now!" Misty giggled insanely as she looked to the planet. "Now I know where you are my clever little Red Lantern. I'll be here to keep you company," she said before she stopped and looked thoughtful. "I think I'm forgetting something-," she stopped with wide yellow eyes as she blasted forward towards the Earth again. "Oops. Almost forgot about the Lantern. I'll deal with that first.
"Then Lindsey my bestie, you'll be mine for some hang-out time!" Misty giggled evilly, and mildly wondered whether she was insane. "Maybe I should see about seeing my shrink while back on Earth!?" she suggested to herself, shrugging as she would do that if she felt like it later, as the woman probably had her own problems, so figured that could wait.
Misty stopped again from low orbit as she detected the explosion somewhere in Washington. It wasn't too big but she picked up Lantern energy and making sure that the Justice League hadn't spotted her, wherever they had snuck off too, she created a yellow glowing bubble around herself and flying down, through the planet's atmosphere, as it was less annoying that way.
The explosion seemed to have come from a small town not too far from the wintery coast. Misty didn't know why anyone would want to live so close to beaches they could barely use because it was too cold. Though, that made her think of Lindsey and her in some cute matching batheing suits on a nice hot beach and relaxing.
It took Misty a moment to shake off that pleasing thought and realised she had entered the sky of the Earth and had slowed down without meaning too. She let her bubble pop, and sped up her decent as she had slowed down so much before as she thought about the fun her and her bestie could have. Maybe even share a deck chair, and cuddle up and then, dam, they were doing naughty things. Misty almost giggled thinking about it.
Misty grimaced as she saw several streets had become a wasteland of ruins. She squished back any remorse or pity for the people that might not have been at work, and were killed or hurt. She hated being so human that she sometimes felt bad. It wasn't her. She was a Yellow Lantern. She was a member of the Sinestro Corps.
Descending further, Misty noticed the silver glow and felt thankful that the Lantern was safe, and that. She paused above the ground as she looked at the two girls, and they stared at her.
Misty only had eyes for the girl glowing silver for the moment though. "Oh, for the love of sweet ass!" she declared angrily glaring at the silver glowing girl. The silver glowing girl looked at her oddly. She rolled her eyes. "I'm a bit of an ass girl, okay… I like them cute and tight… there is too much crap in the universe to care about the gods anymore!" she said as she landed and walked closer, looking around, and moving around the silver glowing girl.
"You were the new Green Lantern, weren't you?" Misty asked, but she didn't wait for an answer. "Cute. It's a shame that silver glow is hiding that sweet body from... me...!"
Misty stepped back as the blonde had moved in a breeze of wind. Her hair was loose and she had lost her glasses, as she moved in to guard Bella.
"So, you have Supergirl with you!" Misty commented whimsically. "My name is Misty, and other than that ass of yours... both of yours," she said with a small grin. "I want the silver light back, and if you don't hand over the White Lantern... well... I have warned you that... well... I will kick your butts and take it. I am not going to suffer having to die for losing it!"
"Umm... sorry!" Bella said sheepishly as she looked at her hands. "I-I'm kind of a... what was it...? Oh right... a meta-human and I think... whatever did this... I absorbed it!"
"Well... that explains how you're a... what... White Lantern?" Misty replied, glaring as Supergirl kept moving in her way so she couldn't get to the White Lantern. "I guess I'll have to kidnap you then. After all, with you and Supergirl so banged up-what can you do?" she asked whimsically. "Maybe I can kidnap Supergirl too, and then... yes. Sinestro will let me off for all of the trouble I keep causing!"
"Y-you won't touch her!" Bella said as bravely as she could.
Misty raised her ring before Bella or Supergirl could think straight and the yellow beam blast past Supergirl and blast Bella back, crashing into a charcoaled tree. She slid down the tree, and flashed white. The glow splashed away and the Bella was in her smouldering human clothes as she hit the floor.
"Y-you bitch!" Supergirl roared out. She gritted her teeth and flew at Misty. The Yellow Lantern managed to raise a yellow shield and move back, floating up she created a giant yellow fist and crushed Kara into the ground, continuing to punch over and over again with glowing fists from each hand, smashing the ground and blonde heroine.
Bella pulled herself up, blood dribbling from her. She felt dizzy. She was in pain. She felt sick and disorientated. She wobbled. "G-get away from her!" she cried out as she flashed yellow and Misty stopped, eyes wide open in shock as the White Lantern stood, now a Yellow Lantern.
Bella was dressed in a yellow and black uniform that bound to her body in all the right places. She had advanced yellow goggles with white shields over them that glowed yellow with no straps. Her legs had tight yellow short shorts over her tight little butt, showing off her milk white creamy legs. The yellow had a diamond shape over her chest and back. Her lower forearms and gloves were yellow, and her collar was black and covered up the whole of her neck, just under her chin, and cut in an upside-down triangle into the yellow on her chest. In the centre of her chest was a seal just like on Misty's. She was wearing yellow half boots and a belt with a loose bit down the front to an angle, and her hair was glowing yellow, as it was back to its normal length and colour.
Bella's breathing was heavy as she fired out a wave of yellow light and knocked Misty back from where Supergirl pulled herself up, staring at Bella in awe.
"Bella," Kara muttered weakly.
"W-what the hell is she!?" Misty demanded as she looked at the new Yellow Lantern. "How can she be so much? Even as a meta-human!?" she asked, shaking her head.
Misty crashed into the ground a second later as a green beam blazed down on her.
"Misty!" John Stewart said as he floated down from the air blazing with green light, startling Bella and Kara, but his glare only reached Misty. "I should have known it was you up to no good when I returned to the Earth! Then you accidently slip through a convergence point," he said while she was glaring as she pulled herself up to stare in anger at the man as he glowed with green light.
"J-John...!" Bella called out as he floated over to land next to her.
"You're having a really weird week, huh?" he asked with a small grin.
"Yeah... you could say that!" she replied shakily as she went to fall, he helped her stand while Misty pulled herself to her feet.
"Do you think one returning Green Lantern can get rid of me!?" she demanded angrily. "Yellow is your weakness!"
"Well, what about me too...!?"
They looked out to see another Green Lantern human, but he had no mask and he wore a green leather looking jacket over his uniform.
"Guy!" John said while sighing. However, behind him floated a muscle-bound man with red cape and blue uniform with a large red S in a diamond shape on his chest. John smirked at seeing him. "Glad you caught up, Superman!" he added while Misty had paled.
"Umm..." Misty muttered with a sheepish grin. "I... err... was just leaving after hanging w-with my best buddies, Supergirl and err... the White... now Yellow Lantern!" she said and didn't wait around as she fled, shooting into the air at full pelt.
Superman and Guy went to chase her but John called out, "Let her go! She's heading straight for the convergence point. Watcher, please make sure to keep track of her, and make sure she leaves this universe," he called out quickly, and got an affirmative reply. "She's not a priority, and if she has any sense, she won't be going back to Sinestro if she wants to live." They turned to him with a nod, as he had pulled Bella into his arms, cradling her as she had lost the fight to stay conscious, as she was back in her normal clothes, exhausted and hurt.
"B-Bella...!" Kara moved, by her side in seconds, holding her hand. "It's okay Bella. I'm here now. We'll get you home and..." she trailed off as she looked to Bella's father and the other man, sighing in relief as they were still breathing. "W-what about Bella's dad, and this other guy... and there were these guys who were evil wolves in disguise. They know about Bella and, I don't know what they'll think or… poor guys...!"
Superman had landed next to her, squeezing her shoulder in reassurance. "It will be okay," he said reassuringly as he turned as Guy landed next to the Chief of Police and Native American man. "Guy, get them some medical attention back on our Javelin... it would be best that J'onn made them consider all of this supernatural since it seems that's where all the magic of this world might be centred. J'onn will be waiting... it will be easier on them, and to try keeping them as ignorant of alternate universes for as long as possible. I hate to do things like that, which is why just a few tweaks of perception here is much better than full memory modification."
"Mr. Black, I mean Billy Black, I think that's his name," Kara said. "Well, he's paralysed and his wheelchair was kind of turned to dust, so you know? – he was scared of those wolf guys too, and I think they come from his tribe, and some of the others fought the alphas control, whatever that means-."
"Okay," John interrupted. "We'll have to look into this, and keep our eyes and ears open."
"Indeed!" Guy said looking worried as he was careful while picking the men up using his ring before flying off.
John looked to Supergirl. "You should take Bella home so she can get some rest... we'll have to do some research into this silver light," he said as he carefully handed Bella over to Supergirl.
Supergirl held Bella comfortably to her chest, feeling bad. "What are you two going to do?" she asked as she looked up at her cousin.
"We're going to try and help who we can without being seen, and clean up your car!" Superman replied patting his cousins' shoulder in reassurance. "Take your friend home Kara, and take good care of her. Good friends like her should be cherished above anything."
Kara nodded with a small smile. "Thanks Clark!" she replied before she blast off, shooting into the sky and away towards the clouds as she pulled out the Focus from her pocket and placing it on, thankful it wasn't broken and calling for their Javelin.
Meanwhile, orbiting Tower Earth, Holly had just been minding her own business on board the Sinarch's bridge while Lindsey wasn't home. She had gone out to collect an order of her favourite candies, leaving Holly home alone. She had offered to go with her, but she had to agree that Lindsey would be faster alone.
Holly had been given some crash courses on the ship, but simple things were voice commanded anyway, and flying manually was pretty simple.
The ships advanced computer had read plenty of books on foci and other magic related readings to try upgrading her control over magic. Holly was quite excited at what the ship would be able to come up with so she wouldn't be venerable when dealing out her justice upon her enemies and putting them in their place.
The goblins had bought some land and were already building their new home in Domino City, and had 'countless' men working on it. In other words, goblins, but pretending that they had so many people that they could hopefully have the place built in a couple weeks without anyone questioning it, and with a little magic here and there to help push things along. After all they wouldn't know about the larger underground areas for the ship, and a secret base.
It had been fun when Holly got to go shopping with Lindsey, sneakily tricking her into letting Holly buy her some cute outfits with Zatanna's willing assistance. She had of course bought her new friend Zatanna some cute gear too, as a thank you for helping out, and because she thought they suited her.
Holly couldn't believe that she had been hanging out with a superhero. Superheroes. Two whole planet Earths had superheroes. That was freaking awesome. Though, finding out that her new home world had a Dumbledore and Voldemort was annoying, but on a plus note she apparently had a sister, Lyra. It was really quite overwhelming, but Lyra had never had it as bad as her thankfully, but her filthy Dursley's were in an alien prison to keep Dumbledore from freeing them, and Holly made a mental note to make sure her Dursley's were someday locked away too.
It was rather nice discovering she had a sister. Holly made another mental note to track Lyra down during the Christmas holiday and introduce herself. Though, Holly got the impression that Zatanna was hiding something bigger, and she thought about the other worlds and figured she didn't want to overwhelm Holly with other siblings just yet. Holly was kind of thankful to that, as she had Lindsey to look after her, so felt good not having potential siblings from other worlds fussing over her or something, as she knew she would be like that if she had a sibling to 'save' from douche bags.
However, Holly had asked about the Dumbledore and Voldemort of Peak-Earth as she knew that it was the only other world similar to hers. That was a surprise and though reluctant to tell her, Zatanna told her that they were both in a Super Prison, and would die in jail. That was some good news that the people on one world at least had means for keeping pieces of crap like them imprisoned.
However, Zatanna was a real magical superhero, so she was sent to watch out for Holly and Lindsey because they didn't want them doing anything rash that couldn't be undone, and Holly understood that. Zatanna was pretty cool. Though, she had some extra words of 'don't be naughty' for Lindsey, and used those words, which made the whole thing hilarious to see the look of indignation on Lindsey's face.
At least the cute Red Lantern could take a joke without blowing her top like other's who she was sure by the whole rage thing didn't have anything together like Lindsey did. Lindsey said she would use her anger, and focus it where it needed to be focused on, and that she didn't need to blow her top at something as stupid as some friendly teasing.
Holly was a bit concerned thinking of Lindsey considering who passed by the cloaked ship a few minutes before. It was a blonde-haired Yellow Lantern seemingly chasing after some white light thing that the ship recognised as an unknown Lantern spectrum. The ship had lost the signal once it neared the planet and slipped through a convergence point.
She was certain that the Yellow Lantern that had shot passed after the light was Misty, and it was probably her fault. Though, by the look of the girl, it was more than likely just an accident. It was probably for the better that the Yellow Lanterns didn't get to keep the unknown Lantern battery.
From what Holly knew about the Yellow Lanterns, they already had enough power. They didn't need any more. Then their leader was apparently a megalomaniac who wanted to turn the universe into a giant universal police state, like some sort of communist utopia or something stupid like that that wouldn't work. He obviously wanted to be the captain of the police force, and dictator of all. He sounded like he had control issues to her, and she could go without ever having to meet the jerk.
Leaning back in the captains' chair, Holly stretched her muscles, as she hadn't a care that Misty fell through the convergence point too, or that another Javelin followed after her like the one that disappeared earlier.
Holly was comfortable in a cute red and black plaid skirt with a red right sock up, halfway up her thigh, and the other was black. She wore a tight black, very short sleeved top that accentuated her nice sized bust, and her running trainers were different colours with the right shoe black, and the shoe left red, as she might have gotten a bit carried away with being different to the pain and boring wizards and witches of her world. She was wearing red gloss on her lips and a light purple colour shadowing her eyes lightly, which actually accentuated the green in her eyes more than ever. She seemed to get more of Lindsey's attention before she left to collect her order, and fetch a few metals and materials Sinarch needed to help build Holly's new gear.
It took Holly a moment to notice Misty through the front windows as she was back from the planet and she was floating in space, and Holly must have zoned out for too long. Misty was looking at her glowing ring. She had looked depressed at first but she brightened when she aimed her ring at the ship and a yellow scanning beam streamed over the ship for only a moment.
"I know you're there!" Misty said sing song over the comm. while suppressing her giggling. "Lindsey!" she called as she floated closer to the cloaked ship. "Can't I come in, please?" she asked hopefully.
Holly touched the comm. and replied, "I'm sorry, Lindsey isn't in right now, if you would like to leave a message?" she asked, keeping the amusement out of her voice.
"Who is this?" Misty asked, blinking in surprise.
"My name is Vita!" Holly replied coolly over the comm. "What was that silver light about back on the planet?" she asked out of curiosity.
"Oh that...?" Misty chuckled sheepishly. "That was nothing... just a really bright light bulb I lost... damn my klutziness."
"Did you actually expect me to believe that?" Holly asked while rolling her green eyes and standing up. Her long crimson hair was pulled back into a lose ponytail with strands falling down over her ears and shoulders, and hidden clips to keep her hair from her eyes.
"Well... I could have hoped you were just a ditzy conquest or something!" Misty replied with an impish smile.
Holly shook her head as she walked to the helm, standing by the console she typed away at a few control panels and the cloak dropped, showing her through the windows of the ship, smirking in amusement.
"Conquest?" Holly asked while Misty stared and she would swear that she saw some drool from the Yellow Lantern's mouth fall and turn into tiny icicles. "Who's to say that she isn't my conquest?" she asked with an amused smile.
Misty shook her head clear and folded her arms under her small chest while not trying to hide her eyes were admiring Holly's, and wished for a little twirl to see that ass.
"Unlikely," Misty finally replied, letting her eyes flick up to admire Holly's face. "Lindsey isn't the type of girl to go around allowing herself to be the sexy piece of girl meat! No matter how smoking hot you might be!"
"Why... I'll take that as a compliment!"
"Oh. It was meant as one!" Misty replied, licking her lips as her eyes roamed up and down.
"So, are you going to tell me what was going down?" Holly asked as she was still curious.
Misty shrugged. "Let me in and I will," she replied with a grin. The side hatch opened in a second, surprising her.
"I'll keep you to that!" Holly said as the Yellow Lantern flew into the ship and the hatch closed behind her before the ship re-cloaked.
It didn't take long for the Yellow Lantern to walk out onto the bridge. "You really are stupid girl!" Misty said whimsically as she walked closer, eyes glowing yellow when she cried out and dropped to her knees as she had gotten too close and took Holly's right hook to the face with magical force, spilling blood.
Holly smiled as she kicked the girl over and stood on her chest, pinning her to the ground while she held her bloody nose with tears in her eyes, actually crying.
"Yeah, sweetie... not at all defenceless girl here," Holly said while even hurt Misty looked up her skirt to her crimson-coloured panties beneath, she had her priorities straight, and Holly had a cute ass.
"T-that fucking hurt!" the Yellow Lantern complained. "I was only joking around for craps sake. There was no need to punch me!" she whined sulkily.
"Yes, there was!" Lindsey interrupted as she stood at the door of the bridge in full Lantern mode, relaxed as she held a small box that had a small opening and poured a few candies from it into her mouth, enjoying the chewy chocolate. She turned to Holly, smirking. "Did you let her in just to punch her?"
"Kind of got bored," Holly replied sheepishly as she took her foot off Misty and helped her to her feet. "Here..." she muttered as she pulled Misty's hands away from her face and gently cupped her hands over her face while Misty watched her through tears in caution. Then Holly started muttering under her breath with her eyes closed, concentrating as this wasn't her sort of magic, and she just knew enough for broken noses.
Holly's hands started glowing a soft blue, and the blood flow stopped and Misty grimaced as she felt the slight click of her nose being set right, as Holly squeezed in the right place. The pain slowed, and went away within a few moments when Holly finally moved back.
Misty blinked away tears and gingerly touched her face. "You're a sorceress!" she accused to Holly's amusement, and Lindsey actually snorted humorously. Misty pouted as she wiped blood from her face.
Holly shook her head. "And you're a Yellow Lantern!" she said in mock shock.
"Do you have to pick on me?" Misty asked with a sigh. "I've had a really bad few hours. I was freaking chased off by Superman, two of the Earths Green Lantern's, Supergirl, and that stupid meta-girl who seems to be able to use the spectrums of Green, White, and now Yellow!"
"She what...?" Lindsey asked as she stepped onto the bridge fully, curious.
"Yeah, I was there and can barely believe it!" Misty said as Holly had seemed to pull a tissue out of nowhere while rolling her stunning emerald eyes and started wiping up the blood from the girls face as she felt a little bad for smacking her so hard. "She had been hit by this weird White Battery we found.
"We were transporting it back for Sinestro," Misty continued, shivering as she thought of the trouble, she could be in for losing it. "It was damaging the ship, overloading with endless power, and it was only the size of a normal battery. We had to eject it. We thought it would calm down, or we could figure something out, but damn stupid thing. I think it headed towards that stupid meta-girl and gave her its spectrum, or just liked her better than me or something."
"Calm down!" Holly said, sighing as the girl had rushed everything out in a hurry and was panting for breath. Holly helped the girl to the seat at the helm and sat next to her while Lindsey popped down on the captains' chair. "Okay, how about you explain this all from the beginning so we're not lost."
"Oh, right," Misty agreed taking a huge deep breath. "Well... it all began when we were on a recon mission and we found this White Lantern Battery with seemingly endless power, so we were bringing it back with us, and then..."
Back at the Birds Nest Clock Tower in Domino City of Tower Earth, Kara had just gotten Bella home and put her to rest.
"Is Bella going to be okay?" Gwen Stacy asked as she looked over Bella as she was curled up in bed, under the covers, snoozing after a tiring day. Gwen didn't know why Kara had needed to strip the girl to her underwear, but then the girls' clothes were rather filthy and burnt up, so it was probably a good idea to make her more comfortable.
"She should be okay after a long rest," Kara agreed, nodding her head. "I still don't get how she did that Yellow Lantern thing though, but it was awesome!" she said as she stroked her friends' sweaty hair as she sat on the bed next to her.
"Kara!" Barbara interrupted as she entered the room. "Your 'friend' Misty was detected in orbit and was let in the Red Lantern's ship. I'm sending you to make sure she stays away from Bella."
"Huh... but-but I have to take care of Bella!" she complained childishly.
Barbara rolled her eyes. "Gwen will stay here with her, won't you?" she said and asked the blonde girl.
"Of course, I will," she readily agreed. "But... Zatanna gave us Holly's new telephone number, so couldn't we just call her?"
"No... Best to send someone," Barbara replied. "It sends a stronger message, and rather Supergirl than Batman. He was the one to get in contact and I'm sure we would be nicer about this than him. Don't start any needless trouble, and return back as soon as you can, and try not to get into too much trouble."
"Okay!" Kara replied pouting sadly before brightening. "I'll get to meet Holly, so that will be fun, so I'll go, but look after Bella for me," she said as she stood and walked to her closet, opening a secret compartment she pulled out her spare super-suit as she left her other one at home, and started changing out of her burnt up clothes while Barbara left them to it, and stripping naked and changing her underwear and pulling on her spare uniform.
"There, perfect!" Kara said happily smiling at Gwen.
Gwen was pouting. "That is so not fair, and you don't even try to keep that smoking body, do you?!" she said with a mock sad sigh.
Supergirl grinned at her impishly, sticking her tongue out and wiggling her little butt as she left the room while Gwen laughed and rolled her eyes.
Kara left the building in quick time, shooting up into space, following the directions of the cloaked ships last known location, and with her Focus on, she would find it. However, once she got into space, she focused her eyes to pick up heat signatures and there it was while her Focus was doing the same. She was thankful that the engines were still a little heated.
Supergirl was surprised as the side hatch opened to the ship as the door slid open out of nowhere as the ships cloak was still up. She wasn't sure what to expect but she was certain they wouldn't want the ship destroyed by a fight inside. Therefore, Supergirl drifted forward and in through the door. It closed after her, and she entered the airlock into the ship. It wasn't a very large ship, and she could hear the girls bickering. Well two of them. The one named Vita was saying she had no reason not to invite Supergirl in, and it was cold outside, while Misty was arguing that she did, and that the cold didn't bother kryptonians.
The third girl was called out as 'judge' and replied she didn't care. Kara walked through automatic doors onto the bridge and the red-haired human, magician, obviously 'Vita', or Holly looked over at Supergirl with eager eyes. The Yellow Lantern was glare pouting, and the Red Lantern looked as if she was enjoying some candies too much to care what was going on around her while she lounged in her chair.
"Can I help you with something Miss. Super-babe?" Holly asked with a grin on her lips.
Supergirl shook herself out of her stupor and nodded. "Umm... yeah, err... I was sent to... umm... warn Misty that she has to stay away from my new friend, Bella or she'll be sorry!"
Misty snorted, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, like I'm afraid of you-!" she retorted, but trailed off as Supergirl's beautiful blue eyes lit up with crimson light.
"Not on my ship!" Lindsey interrupted quickly before something got broken. "And Misty stay away from the spectrum girl!" she ordered. "I'm interested to see whether she can get... angry!" she said thoughtfully. "It will only be a matter of time until some idiot pisses her off and then she'll go-!"
"No!" Supergirl interrupted. "My friend is not going to be an angry Red Lantern!" she declared as if she thought she could prevent that from ever happening.
Misty laughed as she hopped up from her seat and walked over, giving Supergirl a wink. "Maybe she'll get jealous of my girly-harem, especially with you joining too, and go orange instead?" she suggested as she gestured to Lindsey and Holly.
"Hey, leave the super-babe alone!" Holly said, rolling her eyes as she hopped up from her seat and pulled Misty back by her hand, rolling her eyes at the blonde Lantern girl. "And we're not going to be a part of your weird lesbian harem plan," she said before turning back to Supergirl with a sigh. "Don't worry, Supergirl. I'll keep her in check. She can't exactly go back to this Sinestro Corps thing I've heard about. She's incompetent and keeps screwing up, and this time this Sinestro guy would probably kill her.
"We were just plotting to steal the Rebellion-," Holly continued, but paused thoughtfully as Supergirl looked lost and out of the loop, but ignored Misty trying to dispute her incompetence. "Oh... that's just a rough translation of the name of Misty's ship," she told her, smiling. "We were going to steal it from Misty's partners and throw them over board just like space pirates! Want to come with us?" she asked hopefully. "It will be fun, and since they're the bad guys you can't feel bad about it!"
"So, Misty is changing sides?" Supergirl asked, more baffled than before.
Misty rolled her eyes as she moved up in Supergirl's face. "Yeah... I'm choosing the side that doesn't have me dead! The Rebellion has information that I can trade so that the Green Lantern's forget about me having caused anyone any trouble, and I have authorisation to get to it!"
"And you think your partners are just going to open the doors when we fly over?" Supergirl asked sceptically.
"Well, yeah," Misty agreed nodding. "See, we fly this ship over, we lie and say we have the Lantern, and then we dock, and invade. They're not very bright and they fear me. It might work better with you too. They'll be too intimidated and run away like the cowards they are!" she finished smugly.
"And why should I help you steal a space ship?" Supergirl asked, folding her arms under her nice chest. "You attacked me and my friend after dropping a freaking Lantern Battery on our heads. Then you threatened to kidnap us both!"
"That Lantern thing was an accident, and I'll try to try not kidnapping either of you again-."
"Try...-?"
"Nobody's perfect...!" Misty answered with an impish shrug.
"Please... for me?! It'll be fun!" Holly startled Supergirl as she snuck up behind and hugged her around her waist, pulling her back flush with her chest, her cheek touching hers. Supergirl's cheeks lit up as she realised a dreaded cuteness attack was taking place on her as even Misty tried puppy-dog pouting. "I haven't done anything mean to anyone... well, I killed some bastards, but they wouldn't piss off no matter what I did so it was their fault, and they were the bad guys!"
Supergirl sighed. "Okay, I'll help you with your piracy... but just this once... unless I have no choice. Then I'm going home to see whether Bella is feeling better."
"Awesome!" Holly said happily as she let Supergirl go and slid around to where Lindsey sat smirking and rolling her eyes in humour. "Let's get this done then."
"Sinarch...! Set a course for Misty's ship!" Lindsey said as she finished the last of her candy and stood from her seat, grinning coldly as the ship started moving out towards Jupiter. She pressed some panels before looking to Misty. "Channel open!" she said, smirking.
"Hey, snake for brains! I have the stupid battery!" Misty called over the comm. unit. "I'm on-board the Sinarch, prepare to be boarded!"
They heard a sigh the other side. "As dramatic as always!" he said as they reached the yellow and black ships location and they de-cloaked.
It took a moment for both ships to angle themselves and link together before the airlocks opened and the two strange looking aliens were met by four girls, one of which was a Kryptonian superhero.
The male Yellow Lantern's soon found themselves flying away through space, ship-less with their metaphorical tails between their legs after a quick beating as they didn't get the message quite as well as hoped, and the Sinarch had to tow the Rebellion as its engines were still off-line, only keeping orbit with thrusters.
"Should have known that bitch was going to betray us!" the snake alien said, depressed. "Though, with all the times she's messed up it was probably the correct choice for her."
