Chapter 4: Rise
Note: I do not own rights to any of Skillet's songs and I changed a few words to make it fit better for John.
"Green Lantern!" Flash shouted.
"Wait, what?" John didn't understand; he knew Flash knew he doesn't sing. "I do not sing nor do want to."
"But you have to," Flash wined.
"Flash has a point, John," Superman told him. "Everyone who at the party has to sing. Besides you might have fun."
"Fine," John said in a grumble. Everyone cheered and John head toward the stage. Shayera and Diana both headed toward the snack table. Shayera have a chocolate iced and favored cupcake and Diana some punch.
"What song do you think he'll sing?" Diana asked.
"Probably something serious," Shayera told her. "He's not a let's goof off guy. The only reason he's here is because he doesn't want to do monitor duty and because he wants to see the rest of us sing in person." Flash gave G.L the mic and head to the snack table for some more drink and food.
John went over to the laptop and typed in tonight we rise, since there were many songs with the title "Rise", karaoke. He then went over the front part of the stage and with the music in the background he began to sing.
"All I see is shaded pieces; I can't keep it hidden like a secret. I can't look away from all this pain in the world we made. Everyday you need a bulletproof vest to save yourself from what you could never guess. Am I safe today? When I step outside in the wars we wage. Our future's here and now here comes the count down.
Sound it off this is the call! Rise in a resistance. It's our time to change it all. Rise in a resistance. Unite and fight to make a better life. Everybody one for all sound off; this is the call. Tonight we rise. Rise. Tonight we rise. Rise. Tonight we rise.
Like a hand grenade thrown in a hurricane, spinning in chaos trying to escape the flames. Yesterday is gone, faster than the blast of a comet. And when the scars heal the pain passes; as hope burns we rise for the ashes. Darkness fades away and the light shines on bran new day. Our future's here and now; here comes the count down.
Sound it off this is the call! Rise in a resistance. It's our time to change it all. Rise in a resistance. Unite and fight to make a better life. Everybody one for all sound off; this is the call. Tonight we rise. Rise. Tonight we rise. Rise. Tonight we rise.
In a whole gone mad, in a place so sad, sometimes it's crazy to fight for what you believe. But you can't give up. If you want to keep what you love. (Quieter and fading) Keep what you love. Keep what you love. Keep what you love. (Back to normal) Never give up no!
Rise. Rise in a resistance. Rise. Rise in a resistance. Everybody one for all sound off; this is the call! Rise. Like we're alive. Tonight we rise. Rise. Make a better life. Tonight we rise. Rise. (Fading) Rise. Rise in a resistance. Rise. Rise in a resistance. Rise."
Everyone applauded and was cheering. Flash ran up to the stage and took the mic from John. John went down and went to the snack table and got a vanilla flavored and chocolate iced cupcake.
"Alright! Nice job, John," he said. "Let's give him another hand everyone!" Everyone clapped again; Diana was a little confused while doing it.
"What did he mean give John another hand?" Diana asked Shayera.
"It means give him some more applause," Shayera explained.
"O, thanks," Diana replied.
"Now let's see who is going next," Flash said into the mic. He picked up the hat and shuffled around the remaining names. At last he pulled one out.
Flash then said, "And next up is…"
Note: I didn't know what song to do for Green Lantern so I just picked one. But I promise the next one will fit the character better.
