Disc: ION

Serious AN at the bottom.

I limped through the streets to the nearest zeta tube I knew coast city had one around here somewhere. But I returned in the need to feel pain, to forget, only to get my ass handed to me in a basket. To say I'm not okay is an understatement. Yesterday was the anniversary of my death, when I left my sister and became a Green Lantern, the day I lost my life and my everything, it's the one of the 2 days I can't use my ring, I need to feel pain to remind me of my failures how I failed to keep my sister happy; to try and feel how she feels. Everything hurt I fought the entire day yesterday, slept on my old alley, and returned to fight.

Everything hurts and I need medical help so my other idea was the cave finally it's here. I opened the doorway that was in coast city it was near the green lantern memorial park where they commemorate heroes flash has one in central city, Hal has one in central city; the alley near the park has a hidden zeta tube inside an out of order soda machine, on the side it opened by biometric scan.

"Recognized Green Lantern B 0 2." The computer said as it scanned me.

"Mount. Justice." I groaned in pain, I felt myself being transported as I was enveloped by light and lost my balance and fell to the ground. 'God that hurt.'

"Hey Sam, what's ..." Megan's voice, only to be cut short by her scream actually. I tried to stand up only to fail miserably. I groaned as everything hurt, I'm from head to toe with bruises and blood, my blood mainly. My body in so much pain and too tired to stand but I was using sheer will power to try to stand until I was able to get on my feet. 'Did standing always cost so much energy?' Artemis was beside me helping me stand placing herself to carry me in one arm and began dragging me, my feet couldn't move out of pain.

"What did we told you about doing this?" She said to me.

"Don't remember."

"That's a lie!" Megan told me she sounded angry.

"Don't care med bay, now." I groaned out speaking, Kaldur took Artemis's place and began to carry me in one arm.

"Thanks Kaldur." I said as he dragged me, my feet not responding to my commands, a shirtless Superboy helped me get dragged doing the same Kaldur but my other side.

"This isn't the first time you come here like that. You have to tell us how you get in this state" Kaldur asked.

"It's the. Second time." I said gasping for air, my breath trying to return to me as we reached Megan's room both placed me down on the edge of her bed.

"And as I've said before none of your business." I said as Robin gave me a piece of frozen meat.

"You know purple doesn't suit you right? That's why green is in your name." Artemis spoke as Megan made her way towards me with bandages and the first aid kit; she took out alcohol and cotton I immediately made a swipe attempt at the bottle only to fail miserably to taking it from her hands.

"No alcohol. Deadly allergic to it." I said catching my breath. Megan grabbed the oxygenated water bottle from the first aid kit.

"Wait seriously, you're allergic to alcohol. That's really weird." Wally said.

"It's called alcohol intolerance it produces vomit, extreme nausea and my heart would go into overdrive trying to get it out of my system." I said as Megan was pouring the water on my cuts, to which I hissed at.

"Lift your shirt; I need to check for injuries, on your ribs." Artemis told me 'So bossy.'

"Aren't you gonna move. Boys. Out." Artemis ordered and the boys cleared the room leaved as I tried to take my shirt off but failed miserably it took help from Artemis and Megan to take it off and a lot of pain as I moved.

"We told you to not fight in those rings." Megan said

"But I need the money." I told her.

"That's a lie and you know it, Hal provides everything for you."

"Fine… it's that time of the year." I said in defeat.

"Oh no." Artemis gasped.

"You don't need to fight to remember." Megan said.

"Your whole stomach is completely purple. My god you took a beating, I can see at least 6 bruised ribs, we need to treat those, and your right shoulder is covered in bruises." Artemis told me as she examined my body, I would be embarrassed but I every time I moved the pain numbed me.

"This pain, it never goes away. Those rings remind me of my constant fight for my sister and her future only for it to be taken away. It was her birthday you know, and she and Pops didn't even deserve it. Pops and I had a surprise for her, I went to the store for candles and return to find my whole world, my whole reason to live, to fight… gone. Only the voice of that man is all I remember of him. He wanted the money of the register, earl gave it to him, yet he still shot them both. God I miss them so much, I deserve this pain, this cuts, and this scars as reminder of my failure." I said as tears started flowing, I haven't cried in years this is my first time crying out of pain out of that loss.

"That is not true and you know it." Artemis told me.

"You need to remember it wasn't your fault, you couldn't have known that would happen." Megan reassured me.

"It's my fault you know it if I hadn't ask for that doll mom would be here. My life would be better, it would be happier." I said as tears ran down my face.

"Willpower decreasing." The ring reminded me of me being a failure. I took it off and threw it as far away as I could ignoring the pain in my arms. I felt like a failure and gave up… any strength I had, left me. I fell on the ground, and curled into to a ball and sobbed. My sister she was my all, my everything. I made sure she would be happy, that I would make her life easier by giving away mine.

That she will be happy and she would never suffer what I suffered through. But failed miserably, I left her, I failed her, I almost killed her. Why did I get a second chance, why did I fight? It's my entire fault. If that birthday I hadn't asked for anything she would've never died, we would be happy… now she's alone and she has no one to turn to, I failed her.

The door opened. I didn't care if they saw me, I deserved to be judged. I'm no leader, I'm nobody. Even my ring told me I was, what I always knew… a failure.

"Hey Sam." It was Megan's voice was soft but I kept crying my heart out I felt arms wrap around me I flinched from the contact.

"Stay out of this room!" I heard Artemis yell, I felt another pair of arms around me. It felt warm it reminded me of those times Annette hugged me when she cried. That made me cry harder; all the pain I had saved from years, came crashing out.

"I miss you Annie, I'm sorry I couldn't save you I'm so sorry. If only I hadn't been greedy, if I hadn't asked for that doll Mom would be here… I'm a failure… I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry Annie. Why did I fail you?" The hug tightened. I don't know how much time I cried, but I fell asleep while crying I don't know for how long I did that. I woke up and saw I was on the bed not on the floor; and the room was empty, I had a black T-shirt with a red S, too big to be mine, and my bloodstained shirt was nowhere in sight. My eyes were sore and swollen from not crying, I felt like crap both literally and figuratively.

I walked out of Megan's room limping. I walked into the living room to see all my teammates. No, friends. Looking at me with uncertain looks.

I decided to walk back into Megan's room.

"Sam, you know you need to tell us." Superboy said to me.

"You can be team leader I don't care. I'm a failure, as a person. I quit, you may wanna..." I paused and began to limp towards the nearest zeta tube which was across the hallway. "Keep the ring. It already reminded me of the failure I am." I said limping to the hallway only to bump my head into Wally's chest who stood in front of me blocking my way.

"You're not a failure, you're a great leader, you can't give up that easily for god's sake you're a green lantern; show courage. You use literal willpower to fight. And you say you're a failure? No missions have failed. Yet here you are sulking." Wally told me, I sniffed.

"You're our team leader; you earned that by doing what was right. You're our leader and I don't accept you quitting this team." Kaldur said.

"Neither do I." Superboy said.

"Tell them what happened. Its time." Megan told me, I sighed. I returned to the living room where everyone was sitting my ring on top of the furniture that had the TV. I took a seat in the empty place of the couch.

"Well I was a normal girl; I was celebrating my 7th birthday. I along with my sister and mother spent the whole day at the park playing normal kid games, dumb kid games. That was my fault I told my mother I didn't want anything for my birthday she said that I spoke nonsense. She was the kindest person to ever live, she gave up food her food for me and my sister to eat, me and my sister were geniuses both of us had eidetic memory. She always smiled at me even when she knew I didn't mean things. I remember one time I smiled with a fake smile, she saw right through me and she still smiled the same at me." That is of my best memories, yet it hurt. 'I hate my memory.'

"After playing the entire day, we went to a local pizza shop, and when we were returning she decided to… surprise me, we didn't take a cab or the bus my mom decided to walk home but it was because she wanted to buy me a doll I asked for a few months back so she took us to a toy store that was a long way from my home but near the pizza place… we spent exactly 15 and 36 seconds in that line waiting to pay for that fucking doll." My eyes began to water and my chest constricted.

"We were walking home when gunshots started to sound around us, my mother threw me and my sister to the ground she got shot in the stomach and bled out with my hands on her wound trying to keep her with me, but failed miserably… I miss her so much. And it's my entire fault. If I had asked for something that day, we would've gotten that doll and that would've been it. But…" A sob escaped my throat, and tears began to stream down my face.

"I never once cried about her death, this is actually my first time crying." I said as I sniffed.

"It's not your fault, you need to know this; don't blame yourself for something you can't control. That wasn't your fault; it was those people that shot at her." Robin told me, as I felt a hand on my shoulder, I flinched but calmed as the hand began to move on my back making small comforting circles.

"After that, we lived with our aunt for 10 months, she was nice but she was always weird around us. She and my mother were estranged. I don't really know the whole story between them, never will… but those 10 months were cut short. A maniac in with a gun took hostages in a bank saying he would shoot someone if they don't give him what he wants. And lucky me it was my aunt, she was the example showing that he wasn't kidding." I laughed grimly at the memory of the cops arriving home. Everyone was silent Robin looked like he understood, but I knew his story… but mine was worse than theirs.

"We got thrown into an orphanage, along with the local public school I never showed any weakness, never cried to protect my sister from what happened to us. I made sure to stay strong for her, never show weakness so she would be brave. I told her I would be brave enough for both of us; that, made her happy. My mother asked me to protect my sister no matter what, so I took it upon myself to protect her from bullies, or anyone that dared to bring harm to her. That's when I began to fight after a week the bullies were afraid of me. I thought "Hey, I can fight and I need money for me and my sister to get out of this orphanage." As if buying our freedom. Dumb kid logic, and so I walked around town and challenged local gangs to fight and bet money on who won those fights, it took me awhile but I got 300 dollars. I didn't care about school, I failed my first year of junior high school for not presenting to class, and since I dedicated my life to fighting yeah an 8 year old fighting gangs. That's when I got cut, stabbed and shot."

"Wait you were 8? You should've been in fifth grade." Wally said.

"Yeah, I skipped a few years since I was "really smart." " I said making quotations.

"And so I took my sister and we left, took a bus and we left the orphanage we became runaways. My sister was scared but we left I was strong for both of us, and she didn't cried since I didn't cry. We arrived to the next city that morning, we had two hundred and nineteen dollars with sixty three cents. My sister was hungry so we stopped at a local restaurant with a help wanted sign. The one in charge of the dinner helped us, he gave me job and I couldn't go back to school so I worked at the dinner, if I worked hard enough my sister would go to a private school; but the money for a private school is really expensive so my job as a waitress wouldn't be enough and so I returned to fight people and local gangs, until a man with a grey suit told me to go to a ring in the center of the city and gave me his card, "You will make 3 times what I earned in 3 months. You have talent kid." He told me, I made the logical thing and went to the ring." Everyone looked serious listening to my story unmoving.

"So at first I fought amateurs, people who underestimated me for my size and being a girl, big mistake. Until I won ten fights, I didn't get all the money I needed to give away 30 percent of my winnings just to participate. But I got into the "big leagues." I thought I was ready, boy was I wrong. A 9 year old fighting people on their mid-twenties I was really dumb. That night I got pummeled and limped through the city until I reached the dinner only for Earl the man who gave me a job and became my pops, he patched me up and taught me how to fight. I made sure my sister didn't know what I did for money; I told her I was working and was really clumsy. "

"Life went on for three years, not until my sisters birthday which was two days ago, I got enough money for her to attend a private school I made twenty five thousand five hundred and fifty six dollars with fifty eight cents for her school and supplies. We lived in the room upstairs the dinner. But that day her birthday we returned from a day at the park we ate ice cream and I spent my day playing with her, she smiled so brightly it reminded me that all the pain of fighting, every bruise, cut, stab or shot… was worth it. I wanted her to smile through life; she always told me that I'm beautiful, my hair, my eyes, my face. I was never self-conscious, I didn't care I played along each time she said I was beautiful I know I'm not beautiful each time I see myself in the mirror i see my imperfections."

"You know you're beautiful right?" Kid flash said.

"Yeah you're prettier than me." Artemis added.

"Yeah right, but anyway I didn't felt self-conscious until kid mouth here kept telling me that. That's why I always laughed I'm not pretty, never was, never will." I said

"Two days and two years ago, was when I lost everything. It was Annette's birthday and pops and me had a surprise for her, we bought a costume made ice-cream cake. I knew she would have loved it, it had her favorite flavors. But that day pops forgot to buy the candle with the number 9, it was a simple run to the store there and back a trip I made many times... birthdays for me are cursed on my birthday my mother died... and on her birthday she died... along with pops." Tears welled up in my eyes, and started running down my cheeks, the hand kept rubbing my back I knew it was Megan.

"I only have a remainder from them are these bracelets, and this clock." I said taking out my clock and placing it on the table, it might not be from Earl but I felt it was from him. I looked up to see Megan looking at her bracelet and Artemis at hers.

"I had nothing else after that day, all the money I had made was gone. All the money Earl had, was stolen I only remember a heavily accented voice as they ran out the back. I got away, I didn't cry... I wanted to die; I walked like a dead person that night. But the day after changed that day… everything changed. I saved a girl from an explosion caused by star sapphire and poison Ivy who were working together destroying the street I ran to the girl covered her from the explosion of a nearby car, and ran dodging plants and pink beams that tried to hit me." I said as I extended my hand for my ring, but stopped halfway

"I became a Green Lantern can you believe it? A runaway orphan, with no family left. It was unbelievable. I ran into an abandoned building through alleys to avoid seen by police officers; I reached the inside of the building and waited for the silence to die down. In front of me that ring almost went through my skull as it flew at me, I ducked out of the way since it made a straight line from the multi floor building passing through concrete. It chose me but it ran out of battery after saying my name." I smiled at the memory of the ring stopping mid-sentence.

"The ring flew into my middle finger and a battery appear at my feet, but I didn't want to be found this things energy can be traced, so I was hungry and picked up the battery and walked through the city to search for the ring again. I found it, won the fight with the cost of a numb arm, as I received my payment people started screaming "Green Lanterns run." Everyone began to run away, I knew they were after me so I ran, since Green Lantern meant authorities and authorities meant orphanage, so I ran along with two brothers who needed money.

I was able to get away because the ring ran out of battery, and the green lanterns were busy stopping criminals we ran away but the brothers were discussing about joining the joker gang to get medicine for her mother, since they needed a little more. I gave them half of what I earned I knew I gave them money for my food for about a week, but those two hundred dollars, meant life for me but so for their mother.

They thanked me and they left to go home; I walked back to an alley only to throw up out of not having anything in my stomach and passing out of tiredness. God it was horrible, but I woke up next day and walked into a big belly burger joint, when you're hungry eat like that eat don't complain about the taste, never. So I bought a hamburger and kept my lantern battery at my feet." That was a stressful day, but overall a good day. That made my tears to stop running down my face, only sniffs. A hand offered me a tissue for me to clean my tears and nose.

"Two people entered the dinner talking about not finding her in the ring, and receiving a call from the "big guy". I knew they were looking for me so I took a bag and ran out of the joint. In the end I got caught, but ducked into an alley to avoid them there I gave my burger to a homeless man who was in the alley. He looked worse than me so I took a handful of fries ate them and gave the bag with all my food there, along with a fifty for him to get food. I got out the alley only to see both men standing a few feet from me, they looked surprised but I moved I saw a truck passing the street so I ran to pass the street before them, to get away my lantern in hand."

"You couldn't catch a break." Robin told me.

"Yeah, I ran into an alley but I collided with a man dressed in red tried to run the other way and then a wall out of green light. So I got carried to a pharmacy to patch my wounds, I talked to them about how I got the ring powered up the ring and then you know what happens." I said motioning to all around us, my tears stopped now it was just blowing my nose.

"I went to Oa to train, got a hell of a lot of training, and graduated after the thousand question exam about galactic laws. Good thing for me I only needed to read it once, I can recite each one by memory, and I tell you there are dumb ones. The only thing I know is that the other lanterns of earth don't know about my underground fight club in Oa which is the planet where all Lanterns are based which is at the center of the universe." I was running out of breath but I felt better not physically but the pain in my chest was no longer there, the pain was lifted from my shoulders.

"You made a fight club? That's awesome." Kid flash said.

"I returned to earth but the problems were still there right where I left them." I lived in an alley for three months.

"Why did you live in an alley?" Robin asked me.

"I had nowhere left to go, and people feared me. So I lived there."

"What about the other lanterns?" Superboy asked.

"Well they didn't know; I went along with other lanterns on patrols through coast city. Fighting for money after the patrols ended, the money was for a motel room to shower and sleep that happened once every two weeks since money was never enough." I sighed.

"Time went by like that for three months until middle of winter; I got caught during a fight with someone who was three times my size. I was winning that fight only for all the green lanterns of earth to burst through the doors. I tried to get away but failed I got caught."

"I got scolded, tried to fly away but they placed me in a construct, I learned the moments for a construct to break if done right. So I put on my ring as I got scolded, so I did what I always did best I ran away." My eyes felt sore and I was running out of breath.

"Anyway that night I didn't have a coat or blankets, they got stolen by someone who needed them more than me. It was the middle of winter, so I curled into a ball and tried to sleep in my box; I slept there thinking that I would get a motel room later, but when I woke up, my ring sent a distress signal indicating my life was in danger. So Hal my mentor found me but I couldn't move because of the cold, his ring detected hypothermia my lips were blue and I couldn't move.

Turns out the signal reached Oa all the green lantern's got scolded because I was about to die under their watch. He took me to a hospital against me telling him to not do it, he didn't care. I stayed in the hospital for a few hours and got adopted by my mentor with the other Green Lanterns as my guardians. That's the end and now here we are." I said trying to move my arms and really tired from the bruises, and crying. Breathing hurt, a lot.

"Hey is it normal that it hurts when I breathe, if not get me to the med bay and tell red tornado to call a Green Lantern any of them here." I said as Kaldur moved to pick me up bridal style

"Your entire stomach is purple, and I counted 6 bruised ribs, and your entire right shoulder is purple." Artemis told me, we made way to the med bay we were walking to through the cave Red Tornado met us half way.

"What has happened?" Red Tornado asked me.
"Call any Green Lantern available." I answered him.

"Alright, you have a mission, even though that assigning missions is batman's job." Red Tornado said to me and Kaldur everyone else behind us.

"Sweet mission, only problem is our leader is down." Kid flash said to him.

"I'll go." I said trying to get out of Kaldur's grip.

"You're not going anywhere." He told me gripping my side I groaned in pain loudly

"That hurt jerk, but I can fight even without my ring." I said trying to move but it hurt.

"No you cannot stay in the med bay until your wounds are healed." Red Tornado said to me

"Aqualad, you're in charge." I said to Kaldur and motioned to red tornado.

"That would be adequate." Red Tornado said to us.
We arrived at the med bay Kaldur placed me in the bed.

"Are you going to be alright? You know you're our leader right. You need to be in top shape as our leader." He said to me.

"Relax, I've been through worse and by that I mean I got shot and let me tell you that hurt." I said to him my eyes became heavy. "I'm sleepy." I said to him

"Hey, sleep now we will talk about this later." Artemis said to me.

"Go you have a mission and my everything hurts and I need to sleep." I told them my voice each time lowering its volume.

"Sleep well. We will be back." Kaldur said to me.

"Rest up." Superboy told me, Wally was about to say something but I closed my eyes and I didn't hear anything.

I woke up a few hours later the clock on the bedside said it was past midnight. "I see you're up." I heard beside me it was gruff, and only one person spoke like that.

"Hey boss." I said at batman his face faulted I was still in my clothes but a blanket covered me, my gloves off which showed all the scars from punching and everything they went through basically my hands were a mess of scars and cuts.

"They told you right?" I said to him my chest hurt but not that much, not like when I walked in here.

"Yes, Hal is outside along with your teammates. Why did you hide this from everyone? This is the ultimate example of irresponsibility." He told me.

"I know but my past is as mysterious as Wally's, Megan's, Kaldor's, even I don't know Robin's name." I said to him.

"You know I understand you, I saw my parents get killed in front of me. All the pain the thirst for vengeance but you did the same as I did you didn't let it consume you; you fought through life even when everything seemed darkest, you pulled through with willpower to continue." He told me.

"Yeah... that's what my mother said you know "even in the darkest night, the sun will shine just as brightly the next day." She was wise and beautiful. I kept my emotions always in check no matter what happened, but I needed the pain to remember to not forget my purpose." I told him

"Pain will always be there, you will never stop that pain. Your purpose you don't need pain, you harvest it into something good." Batman told me

"I have this cursed memory I can't forget anything not even one thing, yet I keep forgetting my motivation to continue. Do you know how that is? What it feels to be too lost once you're in the darkness?" I told him

"Yes." He said plainly, 'Of course he is Batman.'

"But you now have a family, a team that depends on you. A team that you demoralized by being in this state you're currently in. Their minds can't focus on two things preoccupied for your state a leader should always be on top shape." He told me I felt completely guilty.

"But so far you've been given this chance; this is your first mistake as a leader. You don't need a purpose or a goal to be given to you, and if you lost it find another both of those are never lost you just need to locate them and keep getting up. The whole league, the green lanterns, and the team expect a lot from you. Never forget that, never lose that will to fight; you will need a hand along the way as we all do and that's why your team is here, the league and the lanterns are here. Look at the window and you'll see everyone waiting for you to walk out of here and keep moving forward as her friend and as a leader of the team. So rest up, get to a hundred percent once again and move on, your past defines you and your present you decide who you become." He told me. 'He is right.'

"Thank you Batman." I thanked him.

"You're welcome Samantha." He said smiling. 'Batman smiling? That's a new one.'

"Can you let them in? I want to apologize. And have you seen my ring?" I asked him as he walked out the room; he nodded as he walked out.
Everyone burst in to the room, except the green lanterns they stood behind.

"Hey GL do you feel better?" Robin asked me.

"Yeah bruised but better." I responded he smiled.

"I believe this is yours." Kaldur said extending his hand to me and opening it in front of me in his hand was my ring, his hand had pieces of skin what I assumed were to swim faster, I kept looking at it curiously. Until he cleared his throat that snapped me out of my thoughts as I extended my right arm to take the ring I felt a pull and saw an IV connected to my arm.

"Whoa didn't notice it." I said as I picked my ring.

"Willpower rising." The ring told me.

"I missed you to buddy." I told my ring.

"I cannot miss you." The ring said to me.

"Well F you too." I said to the ring.

"Your ring responded to you?" Wally asked me.

"Yeah it learns and since I'm a human encyclopedia it has learned a lot. I only try not to show him humor, that would get annoying real fast." I said smiling at them.

"I'm sorr.."

"Don't. You had your reasons. But know this you're our leader so suck it up and never doubt of coming to us with problems, Canary has told us that we need other people to help us." Superboy interrupted me I looked down to the white blanket.

"Yeah, you're awesome our leader has an underground space fight club. And how can I forget that she is of the most beautiful people I've seen." Wally said to me I smiled brightly placing the all too familiar ring in my hand.

"Yeah you're not so bad. Who am I kidding you're awesome as a leader, even better than I would have." Robin told me.

"Thanks boy wonder." I said mockingly.

"Sooo, you're light fists?" He asked me.

"Yeah, why?" I asked confused.

"Dude you're a legend in Gotham underground, a girl that can beat super powered people with her fists. They say if light fists is in town she will take down anyone on her way." Robin told me

"Batman was investigating you." He added.

"Oh man the fighting rings in Gotham are usually not good, they don't fight fair. I saw the joker in the time I fought in Gotham. Well he was in there watching the fights, his presence isn't good news so I left the Gotham rings that night. In central city I saw villains that were common to you Wally. Oh and captain boomerang is a wuss his weak point is the right side of his face, I think it's from all the punches from Flash and Kid Flash. I wonder about the Atlantean rings?" I said, Kaldur smiled.

"But I think I don't need them to remember, I think I need to move on. Oh and has anyone seen my gloves they're really important to me." I said looking around.

"You don't need a fighting ring we can make here one in the cave, anything goes powers weapons and all." Artemis said

"Here we took them off." Miss Martian said to me.

"Thanks." I said as took off my ring and placed both on to cover my scars.

"Actually I like that idea." I said agreeing with Artemis.

"By the way Superboy why are you barefoot?" I said to Superboy.

"I don't wanna talk about it." He said as he crossed his arms.

"Oh and check out this new souvenir." Wally said as he placed the helmet of doctor fate in my hands.

"It's beautiful." I said to the helmet.

"Not as much as you." He told me I smiled at the compliment.

"Thank you." I said accepting the compliment. 'Well there goes my chance to see if Doctor Fate could see into other dimensions. Not until Zatara takes the mantle of Doctor Fate, leaving Zatanna alone; maybe I can place the helmet on when the injustice league attacks. But I will help Zatanna to not be alone, to not feel like I felt as my world crumbled around me.'

"Well a fighting ring would be nice to have." I told everyone.

"What is this fighting ring were hearing about." Hal said as he entered the room

"Make one in the cave here, all the young heroes and besides if I can punch red arrow in the face that makes it worthwhile." I said.

"What about the one in Oa?" He said

"Ah crapbaskets."

"Yeah, Kilowog called about an account of credits in your name." Hal told me

"Double crapbaskets."

"You're in trouble now young lady."

"Wait what about Guy he has a Bar, John he has a shooting range, and Kyle he has an ... art ... gallery?" I argued.

"Yeah but they're legal." He answered.

"I pledge to the fifth amendment of Ganthet." I said.

"Oh Ganthet won't save you now." Hal responded.

"According to Law 8 2 4-3-2 A green lantern can have a business in Oa as long as it doesn't endanger the lives of the core. Meaning that Johns shooting range and Guy's bar are more dangerous than my ring." I said.

"Don't quote laws on me I'm your superior."

"I pledge to the fourth of Sayd?" I said expectantly, Hal kept that stern look.

"Ring get me Kilowog." I said as fast as I could.

"Hey poozer, what do you want?" Kilowog answered "Why did you rat out the ring? You lost to Ch'p didn't you? Again?" I said demanding to know why rat me out.

"No that rodent got what he deserved." He answered.

"That's a load of crap and you know it." I said.

"I still remember Ganthet knocking you out in a single punch." I added.

"He didn't won I was tired from patrolling and.."

"And what? You rat me out because of credits? Fine how much did you lost?" I asked admitting defeat

"Forty thousand." He said sighing

"Forty thousand! Why bet against Ch'p? He is of the best hand to hand fighters he is behind me and I'm behind the undefeated Ganthet and Sayd streak." He sighed.

"Fine I'll give you the credits, don't bet against Ch'p or against me." I said in the ring ending the call.

"You got Ganthet to fight?" Hal said

"Yeah, even Sayd fought there; BTW they know how to fight hand to hand, I can't beat them and Ch'p little squirrel so cute I forfeited." I said to him. He sighed

"Fine but no more fighting rings, and you'll give me your ring when you get home and every night so you can't go out at night or sneak out." He said to me, I groaned but accepted my punishment.

"I'm tired and sleepy and everything hurts so. Can I sleep for like the next month?" I said expectantly, Hal relaxed and smiled.

"Yeah kiddo you can." He said to me I fell back to the bed.

"Hey guys maybe we can be less awkward right? Now you know my past, I can be 'myself' know. Or get to know myself.

"I love you Sammy sleep well." Hal said to me, that nickname felt right in his voice.

"Thanks...dad." I told him, his smile was honest enough for the first time since I got here I feel not alone anymore. 'Maybe life is looking up to me now.' I thought as sleep took over me.

AN:

I know it was presumptuous of me to say I could write it better than Sakura's story, but this is fanfiction. And if you don't like the story then it's fine by me, besides if you're reading this then that means that I already have your view and you as a visitor so I don't really care. Besides this story will take a whole different turn, like really different from any story with a green lantern OC.

To guest I know this story is not my own, that the past is similar but it will definitely take a different turn as the story progresses. And the awkward was kinda intentional, this chapter was so all the awkwardness doesn't happen. More so the part with Aqualad controls water he doesn't has his water bearers, I checked and he used his power without the water bearers. Also get a pen name, I know you why you decide to review as a guest but to me it's cowardice but I get your view, your visit to the story, and your review so I still win. Follow the rule of fanfiction if you don't like the story then don't read it.

To fanaticalfanatic: awesome name by the way really original, thanks for the feedback which i'm currently working on right now

redarrowissupercool: I'm giving you 2 chapters one today and one tomorrow.

Arianna Le Fay: guess you'll have to read to find out.

To anyone who reads this: I would like for more people to achieve bringing this story to a high point in this community.
