Chapter: 2
I awoke to sound of voices (really loud if I do say so myself).
My back felt stiff against the cold bed as the scene from earlier replayed in my head and I knew that I was inside Legion HQ. Deciding that it would be better if they didn't know I was awake just yet and being nosey I listened to there conversation which just so happened to be about me aren't I just a lucky girl. Sarcasm noted.
"The Blue Lantern Corps just like it's sister corps The Green Lantern Corps protect planets all over the galaxy each lantern has a home world from which they come from that is their specific sector this is Earth's." Said Brainiac
"So she's here to help protect Earth which is great and all but how come this is our first time were meeting her?" Asked Triplet Girl.
"Apparently she's been helping us for weeks now without us knowing, the scanners showed her in the background helping us with some of our missions. She wanted to not interact with us for some reason, but we must wait for her to regain consciousness to ask any more questions. Saturn Girl were you able to find anything from her mind." Said Brainiac. " Nothing. No matter what I try a block is set so I can't enter inside her mind and she even set up mental traps so she's able to handle psychic abilities." She said with a sigh.
It was true I had been taught early on at Odym the home planet of The Blue Lanterns; meditations was the key there but was also a pain in the ass sometimes when I'd rather just hit things and get it over with. After awhile they soon left leaving me all alone as I waited a good minute just incase before I jumped out of the med bed I laid on as I headed toward the mini sink in the room with a mirror as I let out a sigh of relief that my costume was in place after I passed out as I checked out my stomach to find a small white gauze on it as I peeled it off to see my wound completely heeled. One of the perks of being a Blue Lantern is our advanced healing skill. Taking a quick look at my surroundings I tried to find a possible exit beside using the front door, luckily there was an air vent that was just my size as I quickly flew up and carefully used my ring to unscrew the vent shaft and slip in and slip the shaft back into place. The ventilation shaft was cramped and filled with dust and potential cobwebs.
This was not the greatest of ideas I've had but if it got me out of here I would try anything, even if I had no idea where I was going. I could hear voices further down as I looked through one of the open vents to see the Legionaires who still seemed to be on the topic of me. (Than again could you blame them I did just show up out of nowhere saving their super hero assess.) "Dude did you see how she was able to knock down that monster without any help she's definitely Legion material." Said Chameleon Boy. "Not to mention she's smoking hot!" Said Lightning Lad. I couldn't help but give a small chuckle that luckily no one heard me, my eyes couldn't help but find Timber Wolf and I couldn't help but feel a deep connection to him for some reason almost like I was being pulled into him.
Than those topaz eyes locked on my hiding place as if he felt me and I prayed with everything in me that I hadn't been found out and that, he can't see through the air vent. Just as I was sure I was caught Bouncing Boy ran into the room. "Guys she's gone!" "What do you mean gone?!" Shouted Lightning Lad.
" I mean that she escaped from the infirmary and is probably somewhere still in HQ. Brainy wants her brought back so we can convince her to join us." Said Bouncing Boy as I could see determination etched on their faces as the followed Bouncing Boy out of the room to search the other parts of the tower. Not even wasting a second after they left I quickly jumped out of the vent landing on the balls of my feet as I started headed for the door that led to the outside when a giant chest blocked my way as I looked up to the eyes of Superman X who looked even more imposing in person as his eyes seemed to look into my very soul and than I could feel that connection again that happened with Timber Wolf and I could feel the pulling intensify by just being this close. "You know for someone so short you cause a lot of problems." He said with an arrogant smirk, ok I changed my mind he's no longer on my good side he was officially an asshole now and I was going to knock that stupid smirk off of his face. "Well you don't look like you can pack a punch either." I said as I smirked when he scowled at me "the only way your leaving is if you prove that theory little girl." He said
"Oh really?' I said.
"Give me your best shorty." He said that smirk returning full force.
Calling me short was the last straw. I hated to be called short even if I was. Pretending to turn away as I did a flip kick to his face making him momentarily stumble as I dislocated his arm hearing a satisfied cry of pain, finally using my ring I lifted him up and created a giant bat as I swung it so hard that his body broke through the wall sending him flying out of the tower and somewhere into the city bellow with a satisfied crash. 'A home run for the majors for sure.' Flying out of the exit with intense speed I was finally out but just as I was about to let out a long sigh of relief I could feel an oh- too familiar telepath trying to get into my head.
"What do you want?" I said not bothering to turn around knowing that she was behind me. (Creepy telepath mad ninja moves to be exact.) " Just to talk I promise." She said as she floated in front of me as I let out a sigh knowing that she really only wanted to talk. "Fine but make it fast I have somewhere to be." It wasn't a lie I had to get home and recharge my ring as I could already feel its power draining from today's events. " Why is this the first time were meeting you in person when you have helped us so much in the past?" " I'm just doing my job to help others and when I saw you guys in trouble I just felt like helping out." I said. " So why not join us, you can help even more people that way." She said pleadingly but my mind had already been made up I worked better solo and a team would only slow me down.
"Times up pinkie. Thanks for the offer but you guys are better off without me. See ya around "
Not leaving her any chance to talk I flew away as fast as I could though I could still here her calling after me I ignored her and didn't stop flying until I was in a alley behind the roof of my apartment. Changing back into my civilian clothes I headed out of the alley and headed into my apartment building and into the nearby elevator. I lived in a penthouse suite of the top floor. The ceiling was a sturdy plastered wood with a circular dome to hold the lighting for the fire pit, while dark grey couches surrounded it, there was two bathrooms, a kitchen, and an upstairs for the bedroom. The best part of my whole place though was my balcony that had an amazing view of New Metropolis that would leave you speechless. Heading upstairs I went into my room and went into my closet, moving back some clothes to show my hidden safe. Putting in the combination I opened the safe to take out my lantern.
Taking off my necklace I opened it up to reveal a Green Lantern ring the same ring of my Great great grandfather who was even part of The Justice League with the original Superman. I'm the only living lantern in my family. My mother raised me for sixteen years until she died of a strange disease, as for my father I never knew the guy and my mother never talked about him and whenever I asked about him she would just change the subject so as far as I know he's dead to me too. I was alone on earth. When my ring was finally done charging I put the other ring back into my necklace, and the lantern into it's safe as I headed to the kitchen to make myself some food.
Fighting had taken a lot of my energy from me and I needed to get it back as I looked inside my fridge I found some leftover Chinese food putting it in the microwave. Going back to the fridge for a glass of water I could hear the distinct sound of tapping on glass; scratch that several tapping. Exiting out of my kitchen I walked across my living room to my covered windows as I opened the blinds what I saw instantly made my heart sink. Some people just don't know when to give up. Flying in front of my window was the Legion all of them nearly surrounded my whole building. I immediately began to panic. 'How did they manage to find me?' As if on cue Brainiac held up a remote that had a blinking dot. Opening up my window fury in my veins I shouted at them. "YOU BUGGED ME!" Brainiac being mostly responsible stepped forward as if to ease the situation. "I'm sorry but we just had to come. We need you on the team." He said. "Well I don't need any of you I was doing just fine on my own without you so just leave." As I started to close my blinds a hand reached out and stopped it. Timber Wolf's eyes held mine and I swear I saw something flash in them; his hand slowly crept to mine and gave it a slow tender caress. "Just give us one day. Just one day to prove you belong with us." My heart was racing those eyes of his so fiery and deep lured me in and was breaking my resolve. "Fine tomorrow, noon, Legion HQ. Now leave or I'll make you leave." Timber Wolf nodded and gave my hand one last squeeze before he left along with the other Legionnaire's except for one very pissed off Superman X.
Ah shit.
My blood seemed to still as he floated his way over to me a menacing smirk on his face. "Gotta admit you pack a good punch. For a little girl." He said, my anger was rising when he was suddenly an inch apart from my face his voice was low and husky, as he whispered, "Can't wait to see what else you have in store." He said as he leaned back as he swooshed past me in a flash. I was melting, oh he had me melting and he knew it my inside were nothing but a pile of goo. How could two men so different yet irresistible cause such a stir in me like no others. Letting out a long over do groan I couldn't believe I had agreed to try out the Legion tomorrow. With all of today's events I was staring to get a migraine. Maybe some Sleep will help me I definitely need it for tomorrow.
