Aaaand the grand experiment kicks off! This is a rewrite of a certain DC Super Hero Girls episode and will consist of eight chapters with one slightly darker bonus chapter about the original DC Super Hero Girls.
In this AU, Abin Sur is alive and had both Hal and Sinestro as his students until that happened, and please keep in mind that this story's Sinestro is gay, although I usually headcanon the real Thaal Sinestro as pansexual. This story also contains elements from The Toxic Avenger musical, The Owl House and especially Carrie. I love Carrie, I wish I was like her.
The Sinestro family was well known on Korugar. Each generation had something to offer to her people. Maligus and Kirani Sinestro were no exception. He was a composer with many musical works of renown, and she was a politician of the highest caliber.
And their son, Thaal, was probably the luckiest boy in the whole entire universe. One minute, he was being cornered in a corner by thugs, then the next, he had vanquished said thugs with a magic green ring. Apparently it chose him since he had looked those meanies in the eye with no fear. Then some strange people wielding green rings showed up, saying that he was now a part of the "Green Lantern Corps". And immediately, they had hauled his ass to the planet Oa where he was met with the Guardians Of The Universe and his designated mentor Abin Sur, who was said to be the greatest Green Lantern of them all. At first, Thaal had a lot of trouble with his training sessions, but as time passed by, he got better and Abin became somewhat of a father figure to him. But the fact that he had gained the respect of the greatest Lantern got him into lots of trouble—the other cadets bullied him more than often, calling him nicknames like "teacher's pet".
One time, he had hit his head too hard during a training session, resulting in a nosebleed. He rushed to the doctor's office as fast as he could, then he bumped into Iolande. She freaked out at the sight of the blood on Thaal and shoved him to the ground.
"Ewww! Get away from me, you freak!" Iolande squealed.
Unfortunately for Thaal, Jadi and the other bullies were near Iolande as Jadi chuckled:"Whoa, Sinestro, you don't look so good"
"P-Please, I need to see the corps medic..." Thaal whimpered.
But the bullies laughed and reacted in disgust at the blood on Thaal's nose to his mouth before Iolande cringed at him and scoffed "Gross! It's like he's getting a nose period"
A pink-haired Lantern-in-training made a construct tampon and scoffed at Thaal, "Plug this up to your nose, you spaz."
Thaal tried to walk away but Jadi pushed him back down, chuckling "Whoa, what's the rush, Sinestro? She's offering you something for your bloody nose, shove it up there!"
"Yeah, get it right in there!" Aryon deviously teased while grabbing Thaal by his black hair and shoving a green tampon up his nose.
Thaal yelled out in pain as he moved away from Aryon, taking the tampon out of his nose. His head suddenly began to sting in pain as he lay there, whimpering in agony.
"God, what a freaking retard he's being." Hama scoffed.
All the bullies made tampons with their rings and began throwing them at the poor Korugarian, chanting "Peer-iod! Peer-iod! Peer-iod! Peer-iod!"
The gang laughed like it's the best thing ever before they made more tampons and joins in the bullying, throwing tampons at the frightened Thaal who held his head in agony as he felt like he was having the excruciating headache in the world.
"Stop! Please! Help me!" Thaal screamed, trying to get back but each time he did, one of the guys shoved him back down, chanting "Plug it up! Plug it up! Plug it up!"
The bullies continued chanting "Plug it up" "Period" and laughing at the poor teenager as Jadi recorded everything with his ring. Thaal couldn't take it anymore and pulled in every last ounce of his willpower and made twisted constructs to fight back. The bullies screamed in fear, and ran away. After it was all over, a human cadet came over to him and told him "Wow! That...was...amazing!"
"Th...thank you." Thaal said.
"Hal Jordan, from Earth." said the human. "You're Thaal Sinestro, right? I was put under Lantern Sur's care, just like you. When he said all those things about you, he wasn't bluffing. You're so awesome!"
At that point, Thaal was now looking more purple in the face than pink. He had fallen for the human. Hard. That was the moment he had met the love of his life. Back on Korugar, nothing dictated who to love or how to love, it was just love and Thaal had made it clear that he wasn't interested in women long ago. And this human right here had a pull to him that no other person in the universe had. Thaal Sinestro made it his mission to claim that earthling as his, and since Hal's head was apparently filled with large bits of fluff, it had to be easy as pie but unfortunately, the human considered the Korugarian only a friend. That frustrated Thaal a lot—he wanted Hal to love him back. Everybody knew Thaal had feelings for Hal. Even Abin knew. But Hal himself was oblivious to the fact.
Thaal Sinestro was tired. So damn tired. That was what led him to do the unthinkable.
He snuck into Hal's bed and stayed there, buried in warm heat until morning came. When Hal woke up, he yelled in surprise, waking Thaal up along with him. "Hey! What's the big idea?"
"I wanted to stay with you." Thaal murmured, sleepily.
"Why? You get to see me all the time! In class, in recess, literally most of the day! Was that not enough?" Hal cried.
"Of course it's not enough!" Thaal cried back. "I want more. I want us to be more than friends. I love you. What else could this feeling be? I can not, for the life of me, stop thinking about you. I see you and I get frustrated. I love you more than anything in this world and I want to have you for myself. I want to be the first one to see you in the morning and the last one to see you before night. I want to wake up next to you. I want to love you and spoil you. My heart is yours. It yearns for you and I feel that if I could make you feel good, make us both feel good, then maybe you could be my boyfriend..."
"Your boyfriend?" asked Hal. "But..."
"For my entire life, I've been denied nice things. Back home, I had to push myself to the limits to live up to my family name, and here, I get bullied constantly for just doing my best. Please, Hal, you're the first good thing in my life, I wanna love you. Please, I'm begging you..."
He was losing it; Hal could tell. Thaal held him tight. His yellow eyes searching for pity, want; anything that would result in Hal touching him. He needed Hal's reassurance.
Hal closed his eyes and became still.
"Hal...I..." Thaal's hands dropped. He knew better than to push the issue; if Hal didn't want anything to do with him, it was settled. He have to live with what he done to Hal forever. He got up to pick up his clothes.
Hal softly placed his hand on Thaal's back. "Why didn't you tell me you felt this way? We could have talked about this..." Hal said while running a nervous hand through his honey-brown hair. "We humans, well most normal ones, must take it slow so we can get to know one another. If you want to get to know me, we need to take it slow. Okay?"
Thaal's eyes glittered with something all too familiar to Hal. Hope. Hal touched him. His heart fluttered.
"Sure. But could we at least...kiss?" Thaal said nervously, his hand now gripping Hal's.
Hal slowly kissed Thaal's lips tenderly, not too sure how the alien would react. Thaal returned the kiss feverishly, with a passion unlike their previous encounter. He needed to feel Hal. His body pooled with warmth as he kissed the human.
And that was how they became the most unstoppable team in the Green Lantern Corps.
For the next two years, they were inseparable. They became what Earth humans would call a power couple, vanquishing every universe-ending threat together. One day, Hal had taken Thaal to Earth, so they could watch a movie. It was a comedy, about "twu wuv".
"Hey, look at them! They're like you and me!" whispered Hal, referring to the leading male characters.
"I...I don't understand." said Thaal.
"They're living proof that love lives forever, just like us." Hal explained.
"Oh, Hal...I love you." Thaal breathed out, eyes filled with pure unadulterated love.
"I love you too, Sin." said Hal, and they kissed.
But unfortunately for our hero, fate had many other things in store. Thaal Sinestro would soon learn that love does not live forever, and he would learn that the hard way. It all began when Hal didn't answer a call from Thaal...then didn't show up for their date...then didn't text him back. But Thaal didn't care. He was ready to take their relationship to the next level. Their anniversary was just a day away, and he'd do his best to create the perfect day for his love. He asked Mogo if he could rent him, and the planet happily agreed. Once Mogo had finished arranging all his surface vegetation in the right shape, Thaal was left waiting on an arch made of flowers. He waited, and waited, and waited but Hal didn't come. After Thaal had texted him to come to Mogo after he's done running errands. And the Korugarian stayed there, waiting until he fell asleep. In his dreams, he heard a strange voice whispering to him to come and "find me".
The next day, Thaal had to do everything on his own.
That was when Jadi and his goons found him. "Hey, look who's here! The little squirt who somehow ended up with the biggest amount of willpower in the whole entire universe...and no boyfriend!" said Jadi.
"Let's throw him into that vat of yellow waste over there!" Aryon said, pointing at a nearby vat of yellow waste.
"Let's say he fell into it by accident and Lantern Sur will believe us!" Hama agreed. The three bullies grabbed Thaal with constructs and dunked him into the vat, sparing no time for him to fight back. It seemed like Thaal Sinestro had been done away with, but after a few moments, the vat began to quake and shake, then something dressed in yellow burst out of it and a yellow construct punched Jadi in the face.
"Ow, that hurt!" cried Jadi. He then yelled at the yellow figure, "Who the hell are you?"
"Who am I?" said the figure, then began singing.
All my life, I've been a pacifist,
But right now, you really got me pissed,
That stuff didn't kill me, I don't know why!
There's a new Sinestro in town,
And he's about to get on down,
It's gonna hurt like hell, and you're gonna die!
Maybe you better scram,
Or I'll cut you up like a holiday ham!
I'm gonna kick, kick, kick, kick, kick your ass,
I'm gonna kick, kick, kick, kick, kick your ass,
I'm gonna kick, kick, kick, kick, kick your ass,
It's gonna be a blast to kick your ass!
Go ahead and try to do me some harm,
I can try just to cut off your arm,
Nothing personal, I hope you understand,
Now, I don't mean to be mean,
But I'm about to make you scream,
Got a problem with that, then talk to the ring!
You better pray to Billy Pram,
'Cause I'm gonna show you who I am!
And now, the author casts a modest veil over the most deplorable and unusual scene of violence to ever be shown in what's meant to be a rewrite of a kid's cartoon...
(musical break)
(Green Lanterns screaming)
I'm gonna kick, kick, kick, kick, kick your ass,
Cut, cut, cut, cut off your arms,
Have, have, have, have me a blast!
Oh man, oh man, hot damn!
That was a yellow jam!
And that's who I am!
And...I...kicked...your...ass!
