(A/N) The next part is here and guessing by the fact there were no complaints, I assume the first part went well. Fingers crossed. Feel free to leave a Review and favourite/ follow and if you like it please can you tell your friends and share the story.

2) Keep on going... (3rd September 2010)

Okay... so maybe I should have taken the teleporter. Guess it's what I get for being a show off. I think as I turn to face the wrong direction again, I sigh heavily and hover to recover my sense of direction. In the distance I spot an enormous mountain, near to the city. You've got to be joking. Mount Justice. A dead giveaway, much. Putting on the speed I soar to the mountain and it mysteriously opens at the side to reveal what looks to be a hanger.

Entering through the opening, I hit the ground to face a group of people staring at me. Instantly I recognise Shazam, Red Tornado and Black Canary. The others I can say I have absolutely no idea who they are. All apart from Mr. Muscle who is glaring at me, it's a cliché, but if looks could kill I would be six feet under. "Is there a reason you entered from the side and not with the others?" Black Canary steps forward with hands on her hips; reminding me of that boring teacher from just hours ago.

"I just... just wanted to fly." I pretend to look guilty, but she didn't buy it, Shazam did though.

"Oh come on Di- Black Canary, he has a point." he cheesily grins at me, before cupping his hands over his mouth and miming "It's cool huh." However, he stops when he sees the warning stare coming from the menacing woman to his right.

"The point is that because you are late, you missed the briefing." she shakes her head in obvious disapproval.

"A mission already?. Cool!. seriousl-"

"If you would have let me finish, I would have told you that since you missed the briefing and they have no time to waste, you WILL be sitting this one out." my jubilation ends there and I unconsciously slump my shoulders. The Justice Leaguers stroll away, Black Canary indifferent, Shazam looking sympathetic and Red Tornado just being like the robot he is.

"It's okay, we need to time to train together before you join the team." A tall boy from the background emerges and speaks in a monotonous tone. "I'm Aqualad." he states and moves back to the group. "This is Kid Flash." he points at a boy in a yellow costume stuffing his face with chocolate.

"Hey man, cool suit." he compliments in between chewing.

"This is Miss Martian or Megan." Aqualad steps up to a relatively familiar face, but just... green.

"Hello Megan!" she slams her head with the palm of her hand. "I completely forgot to ask you if you like cookies?" she explains like it was the most obvious thing in the galaxy, apart from Clark Kent being Superman. I mean are glasses so different from none?.

"Sure." I tentatively approve, half expecting to be bombarded with them.

"This is Robin." Aqualad says as though he completely ignored the weird conversation that just took place, he strides forward to be on the immediate side of what looks like a kid compared to the rest of us.

"So this is the boy wonder? I expected you to be taller. " I genuinely comment, but Kid Flash snorts and gets elbowed by Megan.

"So this is Kyle Rayner? I expected you to be less annoying." he retorts, although the smile makes me assume he is messing with me.

"You're just jealous Robin, he glows green and you have a little cape for a little kid." Kid Flash jokes, earning him another sharp elbow in the ribs.

"Artemis, protégé of Green Arrow." Aqualad continues down the line and only now in the corner of my eye I can see a certain brick-man fuming. Geez, what's his problem?. My undivided attention returns to a blonde girl wearing a moderately revealing suit. I can't say I didn't like what I saw, but as Kilowog always said: Chase Villains, not girls, as the Villains don't want to be chased. He must have had some brutal rejections in his life. Whereas all the others at least greeted me, she remained rudely silent.

Finally, he stepped up to a heaving hero, still I have no clue what he's mad at. I think he doesn't like being called a steroid user, can't say I blame him. "From what I hear, you have already met Superboy." Superboy? It seems that Earth's mightiest hero has been busy.

"He seems more like a Super-Ass to me." I blurt out and he bursts out with anger.

"That's it!" he screams. Oh Dear.

A few Hours Later...

Not to self and all others: Never EVER anger a Kryptonian. It never ends well. My head stills throbs even with the third pack of freezing cold ice, guess being thrown around the room like a rag doll will do that to you. At least I got a few shots of myself, I managed to construct a baseball bat and slam his carcass into the kitchen. For some reason that made the Martian mad and hurl us both unceremoniously into a wall. Bored with waiting I stand up and ignore the fact my head feels like it's in a washing machine, it takes a few tedious moments, but I steady and walk to training room.

"03, Wonder Woman." Could this day get any worse? The imposing and dominant presence of the Amazonian enters the room and approaches me, I could feel the authority irradiating from her with every stride.

"If you are looking for the team, they went on some covert op. I could inform you when they get back." I brief her, unlike other people I know when to be fun and when to be respectful. This is definitely a time to be a bastion of respect.

"That won't be necessary, as I am looking for you." I resist the temptation to make a comment about that and ultimately cave in. However, I sugarcoat it just a little, hopefully she won't notice.

"Should I be worried or excited?" I vaguely conceal the flirt beneath the context of the situation, as I assume she has a task for me.

"You should be concentrating on fighting for justice instead of flirting with someone eight times your age." she bluntly advises and I mark down the resemblance to Kilowog. "The League... I need someone fast enough to travel to Belgium. Since the Flash and the other Lanterns are all occupied, it falls to you." she hammers down the point it's not optional. A courier boy? Seriously. And I'm the last choice, a double kill. She seems to sense my annoyance by my body language, or I hope so, it would be really irritating if she's psychic as well.

"I would be grateful if you delivered this to Hawkgirl in Brussels. It's of the highest importance to the league." she shoves a USB stick into my hand and marches off, leaving me clueless to how long I have to get there.

4th September 00:15...

Rubbing the tiredness from my eyes I continue the slow cruise over the moonlit skies of France, since she didn't tell me how fast I had to get there, I decided to fly at a steady pace. The bright green aura radiating off my body only makes me more tired if I look at it, it's just so calming. Looking down the view is stunning, from this high I can see: fields of peaceful grass, but look slightly to the right and you see the bright lights of the urban jungle. The spectacular view is coupled by the gentle breeze rolling over my face.

Suddenly the clouds turned dark and thunder and lightening rippled across the sky. The boom of the clap of thunder is nearly enough to deafen me and the flashes of lightening are creeping dangerously close to me.This isn't natural. Presumably jinxing my luck I am hit square in the chest by a bolt of lightening and I soar downwards, unable to do anything as my nerves are shocked. For around a minute I continued crashing down to Earth and just as I was about to hit the ground I regained control and willed in a huge bed to fall onto. Once the impact was softened I released it and hit the ground with a thud.

"How the mighty have fallen. Quite literally." A male in an orange cloak towards above me as I lie on the ground.

"The mighty always get back up." I construct rope and wrap it around his feet before he could react and barge him over whilst standing up. I am sent flying onto my back as another bolt strikes me, I am lucky my suit can take a hit like that. Assuming he is going to try to finish me off I hurry up and force a shield over my head, I barely hold it together as another bolt hits my shield.

More and more bolts hit in rapid succession, I takes all my willpower not to break. You can never defeat a Lantern as long as his will shines bright. Come on Kyle! Let's end this now!. Using my thoughts I motivate myself on and the familiar feeling of power surges through my body, drawing upon my will to strengthen my construct.

Carefully glancing at my attacker every few strikes, as to not break my concentration. I see that he has retreated a fair length away from my position and is holding up a sort of wand to the sky. Of course, he's the Weather Wizard. Take away his wand and this will be over. After waiting for the next salvo to hit I break the construct and fly straight towards the Villain. I dodge and weave to avoid more desperation strikes from him and as I get closer, he stops and points the wand at me.

Unexpectedly a mist forms around me and as I get to the open space where he was, the slimy man is no longer there. Instantly I construct a massive will-powered leaf blower and push away the unnatural mist and I see the cowardly Wizard attempting to flee on top of a tornado. Oh no you don't. Using my thoughts I reach out with an arm construct and pull him off the tornado, he screams as he plummets down, but I catch him and carefully drop him to the ground. Before he could stand up I form chains around his body and bend over to catch my breath. Green Lantern: 1, Bad Guys: 0.

My first courageous triumph was cut short by a ground shaking blow from behind that send me at least 40 yards. Picking myself up I met this new foe head on and I recognise him as Black Adam. Even though I knew I wouldn't stand a chance, I charge him anyway with a large constructed sledgehammer. My hopes were crushed as hr bats away my constructs like flies and uppercuts me with a blow that could stagger Superman. Barely conscious and now lying on the floor in agony, I look up to see my defeater and surprisingly he looks proud of me.

"You show courage Lantern, it's a shame we will not be fighting again." the super powered fiend moves closer to me and I struggle to raise my arm, after a few attempts my arm gives in. "Even now you fight." this time he laughs.

Now my eyes are fluttering open and closed, as I struggle to maintain my consciousness. Just as I fail, I could hear a friendly voice bound in from above.

"Not today he won't. SHAZAM!"

4th September 07:30, Brussels...

Out of the blue I open my eyes to see I am in a strange room that I have never been in before. All of the walls are a bright white and the room is filled with medical equipment. " Oh hey man, you wanna go for some waffles?." my head spins to the right to see the cheesy grin of Shazam, with Hawkgirl standing beside him.

"No" I bluntly reject his proposal, as I still feel like my ribs are about to be coughed up. He stands up and walks to the door and I could only just hear him muttering under his breath.

"Fine then, no thanks for me as usual."

"Thanks by the way." I call after him and he stops for a moment before spinning around and flashing me another grin, before he continues out of the room. Once he was out of sight I sit up and then proceed to stand up steadily.

"Since I won't get answers from him, i'll get them from you." I approach Hawkgirl, it's safe to say I am very, very angry. "Now please, tell me: How did they know where I would be?" I interrogate her, but she doesn't seem fazed by my aggressiveness.

"We let it slip you were carrying the data. Nothing personal." she says with a cold indifference that would make Batman cry. "We needed to ensure the data would arrive unhindered." she explains further in the same tone.

"You mean I was bait?" the realisation hit me like a ton of bricks. Did Wonder Woman lie to me? Well no, she technically didn't lie, she just didn't explain clearly enough. "You know what? I don't even care anymore. As long as the data got there, i'm fine." my deeper feeling is still a passive anger, but like a true Lantern I control my emotions and don't let them consume me. On the other hand I still feel like it's all good as long as the data arrived safely. Duty comes before self.

4th September 11: 00, Mount Justice...

After an uneventful ride home given by Hawkgirl as my ring needs charging, I flop down onto the coach and rub both of my temples in a relaxing manner. Just a few minutes after I arrive the rest of the team pile in from the zeta portal. They look just as weary as I do, even worse in my opinion. All of them head to bed apart from Superboy he sits awkwardly opposite from me.

"Sorry about before, I lost it." he whispers, it feels like it's a rare occasion that he apologises.

"It's okay, all is good. You like you've been through it." I comment sympathetically at his torn shirt.

"I don't want to talk about it." he says in a low volume.

"Well, I can say I've had a really rough day/ yesterday. The name Black Adam mean anything to you?" his face weirdly lights up.

"He fought Superman a couple of times." he states with a hint of pride.

"Yeah well he fought me as well. Can't say I did as well as Superman, damn he punches hard." I rub my chin, which still his a numb feeling from the medicine.

"How did you face him?" he curiously leans forward.

"Where to begin." I spend the next precious minutes going through the events, if my ring was charged I would have used the Playback function.

"That's harsh." he reviews my story. "It won't hurt to tell you what we did." now it was my turn to lean forward with curiosity.

Needless to say his story was a lot more interesting. A conspiracy involving a mind controller, Bialya and some robotic sphere. Leaving him to his thoughts on the couch, I head to my room to charge my ring. Opening my door I am shocked to see Artemis standing there, sifting through my things. "Excuse me." I announce my arrival and she turns awkwardly around to face me.

"It's not what it looks like." she blushes.

"What is it then?" at this point I am utterly confused.

"This used to be my room and I can't find something of mine." she doesn't seem to be lying, so I let her get on with it.

"Sure, look all you want. Just don't disturb me." I move over to the corner of the room and open my secret compartment I put in, in between them leaving and me going. Pulling out my battery I push my hand towards it until the ring is close to it's core. Out of the corner of my eye I see Artemis stood staring at me. I begin my oath.

"In Brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship Evil's might,

Beware my power,

Green Lantern's light."

That's all for this part folks. Please could you leave a review, it would be much appreciated to help me improve.

Oh and PLEASE look on my Wattpad account, as I will be putting up a DC story I did a while back.
