Warriors. For the uninitiated, it used to be Guy's bar on Earth. Parallax wiped it out during a visit.
It relocated. It's a place where Green Lanterns and their families or partners can unwind, congregate and have a brew. Or a few. Visitors are welcome of course, just as long as somebody vouches for them.
And Guy isn't the sole-proprietor anymore. He has a partner. Not another GL. His fiance.
Her name is Grace Choi. She was once an Outsider, recruited by Roy. She used to provide security for Chaney's, a club for metahumans in Metropolis. So the bar scene is old hat for her.
Everyone knows not to mess with her. And not because her husband-to-be is one of the leaders of the Green Lantern Corps. She can put you on your behind without anyone's assistance. She's incredibly strong and will gladly prove it.
She helps Guy out running the place. And she's in charge when Guy is on leave fighting whoever, wherever. But ask anyone, she's always in charge regardless if Guy is there or not.
Grace heard that Roy was coming. She was looking forward to seeing him. They had a thing once. Then again, you probably could say that with any female on the planet Earth when it came to Mr. Harper. And she'll tell you that the name Speedy didn't apply when they got together.
"About damn time you guys got here," said Guy Gardner, as Roy, Kyle, Kilowog and Anya enter Warriors. "We were thinking that you left without even saying hello."
"Good to see you too, Guy," said Harper, as they exchanged a handshake. "Where's your beautiful bride-to-be?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he was engulfed by an enormous bear hug courtesy of Miss Choi. "It's great to see you Roy," said Choi. "It's been a while."
"Good to see you too, Grace," said Harper. "How 'bout a round before we shove off, Kyle?" asked Harper.
"Fine by me," replied Rayner. "I guess the others are in the back?" said Rayner to Gardner.
"Yeah, losing their shirts again, no doubt," replied Gardner to a grinning Rayner. "Ah, here come some of the boys now."
Lobo. Garl Rathbone. Hammeroon. And Connor-- laughing. "So, I take it you guys didn't do too well," said Rayner.
"No, they didn't," replied Hawke. "Of course I don't partake, but it's fun to watch just the same," commented Hawke.
"I don't want to talk about it. Who's buying?" asked Lobo.
"I think it's those Earth-rules. No way we'd be losing like this any other way," said Hammeroon. "One day one of us will win. Jack is still back there giving it his all, but his stack is slowly depleting each hand. Guy, there should be a rule that only GLs are aloud back there."
"Sorry, buddy. Anyone with the cash is allowed," said Gardner.
Jack T. Chance, another Green Lantern whose power was restored, enters the main bar area. "Another day, another lost dollar," said Chance.
"We gotta go back to house rules, Jack," said Hammeroon. "That's your room for cryin' out loud."
"Ahhh, that's the beauty of gambling, isn't it?" chuckled Chance. "She won't even let me deal. We'll get her one of these days. And when we do, we'll be back in business."
"Here comes the winner now," said Rayner. "Mom, you need to let these guys win a hand every now and then. They won't come back if they always run out of money."
