Rainbow waited for Razer to come into the room. Razer entered a patted Rainbow on the head. He clambered under the sheets and Rainbow popped onto the bed and laid peacefully at his feet. Her ears pricked up at the sound of Aya walking in. She twitched her whiskers and looked up at Aya with purple and yellow eyes.
"Razer, have you entered your sleep cycle?" Aya asked persistently.
"I was about to." He growled.
Rainbow giggled. And barked. Aya looked in Razer's eyes. Rainbow 'awe-d' and they looked at her like she was trespassing!
"Sunshine! Sunshine, wake up puppies, with sugar tarts an cuppies for your little tiny cakes!" she sang patty cake-ing the air. They stared at her. In her imagination, she saw an imaginary friend, a baby zebra, but with a brown mane. She patty caked with her friend until she got tired and started talking to herself in her head.
Are these host satisfactory for our experiment?
Only one will be needed, the smartest, fastest, and strongest.
The one named Kilowog.
No, he has not trust.
Hal Jordan?
He hasn't the faith.
Razer, he has not the courage.
Aya?
She may have courage, will, and hope. But has she the faith, has she the trust, honor and bravery that the Master's of Time and Space desire? Does she have trust Does she have the bravery?
And most importantly, does she have the faith?
Aya, is the perfect host. She is the answer the our problem.
So when do we begin our project?
Patience Valiant… Good things come to those who wait…
I will not wait to strike our next wielder.
But we must wait. For they too will seize her. We mustn't risk she who is the missing to be subdued to death.
But when…
I will say when… be patient, we will begin when we see her full potential…
Rainbow smiled as she watched Aya and Razer on the edge of the bed talking.
ALL IN GOOD TIME…
AN: Dun dun dun dunnnnnnnn! Rainbow's got big plans in store for Aya! But what exactly is her big idea, and who are these Master's? Why is Aya the target, and what is this potential they seek in her?
