As soon as Jason touched down in Jump, he knew something was wrong. The city looked like a warzone, citizens cowered in buildings, and rubble was everywhere. Over it all the Hive Five cheered and laughed as they flew with yellow rings. Jason snarled slightly, but reined his temper in. He had more important work to do. He landed on Earth 3 days earlier than he intended, and was taking the time before his appointment with Slade to try and get the lay of Jump. Guy and Kilowog had joined John and Kyle at the Justice League's Watch Tower, but Jason knew Jump needed him more than his fellow Lanterns.

So far though, all he had managed to accomplish was to get furious and almost compulsively attack every villain he saw. The former Titan made sure to keep his aura hidden as he walked around Jump. The majority of the villains were just running amok, but were the same, the Hive Five however, that was a different story.

The Hive Five patrolled the city, an infuriating parody of the Titans. Each had a yellow glow, and Jason didn't need his powers to see the gleam of gold on each of their hands. Jason ducked into a side alley as Private Hive flew over the block. A ring scan shined over the alleyway, almost catching Jason in it. The teen pressed himself against the brick wall of the building, ring at the ready. Hive stared down into the alley for a few minutes, until he finally turned away and moved on. Jason let out a soft sigh of relief as the villain flew off. A hat appeared, the brim pulled down low to cover his eyes. He needed a base of operations, somewhere he could work from, and the only place he'd feel safe outside the Tower, which had to be under supervision, was in the heart of the trouble.

With a sigh he headed to the docks, though he made sure to stay hidden in the shadows of back allies and such. As he expected Katie's was open, it always was. Jim threw a bum out as Jason walked in. "You got money kid?" demanded the bouncer. Jason nodded as he continued inside. The teen took a seat in a corner bar, in the shadows; it also gave him about the best view in the bar, without raising attention to himself anyway. A waitress came by; he ordered a drink in the gruffest voice he could manage. He didn't want to be recognized…just yet. A beer appeared in front of the teen and he dipped his head to his waitress. So far the buzz around the bar was about the Titans' big loss, since the battle with Slade no one had seen them, and the Tower stood empty. Jason clenched his hand underneath the table, but kept his cool; he simply took a sip of his beer and listened.

After an hour, he hadn't gotten anything more than rumors and conjecture. He was about to leave when the door kicked open. "Alright everyone this bar now belongs to the Hive Five! Clear Out!" bellowed Mammoth as the teen villains all walked in. Jason cocked his head to the side as the bar's patrons all left.

Jim's hand strayed to his gun when someone grabbed his wrist. "Don't do anything stupid sir, we just want a few drinks then we'll leave," said Private Hive as he took Jim's pistol off of him. The bouncer glared but didn't say anything.

Billy Numerous plopped down across from Jason. "Didn't ya hear Mammoth, this is our bar now, so skedaddle."

Jason kept his head down so the brim of his hat kept his face covered. "Free country, I'm just minding my own business."

Billy grinned as he leveled a glowing power ring at Jason. "This city aint, now get!" Jason sighed as he looked up, his black mask in place, Billy's eyes widened and he let out a small squeak.

A green energy blast sent Billy back. Jason shot out of the booth, twin emerald blasters in hand. "Alright you idiots, surrender your power rings and place yourself under arrest."

The other Hive students looked at each before they started cracking up. "Under whose authority!?" demanded Private Hive.

Jason ripped his hat off and threw his coat back. The Lantern symbol on his chest gleamed brightly. "Mine, Green Lantern of space sector 112, you know me as Construct."

The Hive students froze slightly, then Gizmo appeared. "Get that snot muncher!" The teenage villains all charged towards Jason.

Jason grinned. "Kids don't know how to use those rings of yours, do you?" A green bomb appeared in Jason's hand and he threw it. A bright flash blinded all the occupants of the bar as the Lantern got to work. One rule from his old bouncer days, never settle any business in the bar. Green shackles appeared on each of the Hive teens, and together, Jason blasted out of the building, his opponents in tow. He slammed them into ground as he floated above them. "You idiots gonna stay down, I got too much to think about at the moment and I don't need to be hanging out with you guys."

"Attack Pattern Omega!" cried Gizmo. Jason cursed as he shot forward. The Hive students didn't know how to use their rings effectively, relying more on their real powers than the new ring.

Fortunately for Jason, using a ring was as natural as breathing to him. A massive energy fist appeared around Jason's right hand; he slammed it into Mammoth's jaw then blocked a kick from Private Hive. Jason jumped into the air, bubble shield around him as Gizmo and Seemore blasted at the lone Titan. Billy appeared out of the sky, raining clones down on Jason. Two jade blades appeared in Jason's hands as he fought off the clones, only to get smashed between Mammoth and Hive. "Gah!" cried Jason. He lashed out, a massive wave of energy shot out of him. Both Hive and Mammoth flew back. But Gizmo and Seemore kept on blasting away at Jason as the Lantern struggled to put some distance between him and the villains.

While they hadn't figured out how to use the rings effectively, they had figured out how to augment their usual powers, and no one could ever fault the Hive Five for having bad team work. "Get him!" jeered Gizmo as he unleashed a barrage of rockets. Jason summoned a bubble shield as he looked into the sky, their fight was causing a lot of commotion, Slade was sure to notice, if he hadn't already. Jason needed more information before he tried going after Slade, a green blaster appeared in his hand as he shot down incoming Billy clones, the teenaged Lantern had to end this, quickly.

"Enough!" roared Jason as his aura exploded outward around him. "Ring change up, gold!" Jason felt an evil grin fight its way onto his face as his aura became a brilliant yellow. "You idiots like playing with fear, then try this!" Jason threw his arm into the air and a yellow pulse flew out. The Hive students all struggled to pull up shields. Jason grinned. "You probably don't know what powers yellow rings, simple its fear, fear makes them stronger. So you can do something like this!" His eyes were replaced with twin pools of gold light. Each Hive student clutched their head as their greatest fears played through their minds. Jason's pulse was actually a series of small constructs, designed to latch onto their host. Since the Hive students didn't protect themselves in time, many of these tiny energy creations got in. Only one was needed to plug into the villain's head and amplify their greatest fear, which now ran on a constant loop in their mind. The Hive Five all fell to the ground, a plushy green mattress stopped them from going splat. Jason shook his head a few times as he landed. He walked over to Private Hive and grabbed his hand. From his experience rings won't detach unless their owner is killed. So Jason touched his ring to the yellow and focused. Yellow energy slowly drained from Hive's ring, leaving the teen in his regular costume. Jason did the same trick to each Hive member and pointed his ring at the sky.

"To hell with waiting, and to hell with sneaking! You want me Slade? Come get me!" hissed Jason as he fired. The massive yellow energy blast exploded like fireworks in the night sky. An army of Slade bots appeared on the roofs around Jason, all ready to attack.

One stepped forward, its mask up to reveal a video screen. "Construct, you're home early."

Jason flew up to meet the robot. "So I am. Where are they Slade?"

"Ah, ah, ah, not yet," answered Slade. Jason growled but the villain paid that no mind. "Now, there is a debt between the two of us. And I promised you I would collect it."

Jason's eyes widened, then narrowed into a murderous glare. "Revenge, you're really playing the revenge game?"

Slade chuckled slightly. "Nothing quite so emotional, I have yet to find a worthy opponent to test my full power on. You were the first opponent I met who used this form of power; I wish to simply compare…notes as it were. The fact I hate you only adds to the thrill."

"We got a score to settle? Fine, but tell me where the Titans are you cyclopean bastard!" hissed Jason.

"No, first we fight, then I tell you their location," countered Slade. Jason went to yell when Slade raised his hand. "If you don't accept the terms, I'll dispose of the Titans now, and you'll never find them. Warehouse 9, midnight. Oh, and Construct, don't be late." The image faded and the robots retreated.

Jason wanted to roar, to destroy the army of Slade bots and murder the one eyed villain with his bare hands. Instead he flew over to the roof and took several breaths. He adopted the lotus position and tried to center himself. Once calmer, at least focused enough to keep his aura from darkening, the Lantern flew back down to the ground and checked on the unconscious teenagers. A green chain appeared as Jason hauled all of them to a telephone pole and tied them up. Power limiter cuffs were slapped on each Hive student to ensure their cooperation. Jason was tempted to call the cops, but with the way the city looked, he doubted they'd be in any position to help.

After the Hive Five were taken care of Jason willed his costume away and sunk deeper into the alleyway. He needed a place to hole up for the night. He was tempted to go back to the bar, but in the end, Jason decided to go to the one place that would always be his home. A bright emerald hotrod peeled out of the alley as Jason took off for the docks. Wings and boosters appeared on the car as it drove off a pier, Jason whooped as the car took into the air, even doing a few tricks before finally landing on the tower. His smile died when he punched in his security code. Dust covered most of the tower, everything right where the Titans left it before the call with Slade. It was slightly eerie, seeing the Tower so dark. When Jason had been around the Tower always had lights on, there was always life in it. Now…now it was just a hollow shell.

Subconsciously Jason walked to his old room. He meant to go to the common room, but eventually just stopped in front of his old door. It was the only one whose doors weren't silver. His second week there, Jason had painted the doors bright green, to help him feel more at home. Jason smirked slightly as he opened the door. Inside his room was exactly as he remembered. He walked over to the bed, peeled back the dust covered blankets and collapsed.

He woke up the next day to sunlight filtering in through his drapes. Jason stretched as he rolled back into his bed, then froze. He shot up and looked around. "Fuck, it wasn't a dream." He fell back down. "I kind of wish it had been." He debated going back to sleep, despite the situation he was still tired, traveling so far so fast was exhausting, no matter what. And he needed to be sharp tonight. He was about to roll back over when he looked at his desk. Sitting proudly on it was a photo from when Jason had first joined the Titans. He was surrounded by them, holding his communicator, a bright smile on his face. A green hand reached out and grabbed the picture. Jason stared down at it, his hand tracing each Titan and he shook his head. "I'll fix this guys, I promise," he whispered to the picture before placing it back on the bed. He stretched again and fell back asleep.

He woke up in the evening. The teenaged Lantern stood and cracked his back. His eyes flashed and a cleaning crew appeared. "Get this place tidy!" The green constructs took off. Jason wandered down the hallway to the common area, despite himself he kind of enjoyed the quiet, it reminded him of his trial period, when the Titans would be out and he could just relax.

Inside the common room that feeling died, hard. Everything was as the Titans left it, hell the dishes were still in the sink. Jason's hands tightened as he looked around, but a slow calming breath helped keep his head clear. He made some food, the first in a long. It disappeared almost as soon as he placed it on a plate. After three more helpings Jason sighed and leaned back. A glance at the clock told him he had six hours before his deadline with Slade. He drummed his fingers on the shining steel table as he thought about what to do. Waiting was not his strong suit; in fact, it was one of the things Laira yelled at him the most about. He could never wait, more often than not he'd charge into a fight while Laira was still trying to figure out who exactly was the target. The majority of Jason's scars were from just that type of occasion, and something Laira held over his head constantly.

After twenty minutes of just staring off into space, Jason decided to do just walk around, see if any spotted his fancy. He meandered throughout the Tower, stopping in the gym for a quick practice session. Three Slade bots were destroyed before Jason felt any better. He winced slightly but paid the pain no mind. He popped a few pain pills and continued on his way. Finally he wound up in Cyborg's garage. The R-cycle and T-car were both gone, probably with their owners when they were kidnapped. In the corner Jason found plans for a convertible, one he knew was designed for him. The plans made Jason smile slightly, the Titans really were his family.

At 11 o'clock Jason stepped in front of a mirror. His eyes flashed and his changed back to his original Construct suit, this time, with the addition of a Lantern symbol. His black domino mask appeared and Jason smirked at himself. "Titans…go!" he said to himself and he shot out of the Tower, ready for war.
