(Planet Oa)
Today was visitation day. Both Razer and Aya kept Hals promise taking Atra to see her grandfather Atrocitus. The baby was asleep in Aya's arms when they entered the citadel. They followed a Green Lantern guard to their destination. When they stop the couple where face to face with the mad warlord himself.
When Razer saw him again all he could feel is spite. He still doesn't forgave him for all the pain he cause to him and others. But, than again he should also thanked him. After all of the destruction he caused Atrocitus gave Razer a chance to love again. And he would gladly hold his anger.
But, his expression says other wise. Atrocitus immediately notices his former second in commands."Glad to see in a cell Razer?" He smirked at him."I think everyone is glad to see you in a cell Atrocitus." Razer scoffed.
Aya shake her head at both of them. Thinking both men were acting like children."Please don't this now. For Atra's sake and mine." She told them. Both men looked at each other with a scorn but agreed not to fight with each other. For now.
Atrocitus looked at the baby right in front of him. "Wake up my little princess." He cooed.Atra woke up from the familiar voice and saw her grandfather. Her face light up with excitement. Her tiny hands reach out for him. Wanting him to hold her. She than started to bounce on Aya arms wanting to be in his arms again. "Hold on sweety." Aya chuckled at her enthusiasm.
One of the guards opened the cell door letting Aya in."You have thirty minutes. Make it count." The guard told her. Aya nodded and the guard opened the gate letting her walked into the warlords cell. She gently placed the baby into his arms making sure Atra was comfortable.
The grandfather looked at her softly. He than gave the baby butterfly kisses all over her face. Making her laugh. That to him was music to his ears. And her smile was more beautiful than a thousand galaxies.
"Hello my little space angel." He cooed at her. The former warlord couldn't believe he something left in this godforsaken universe. He thought he lost it all eons ago. His planet. His family. Everything. But, here she is. Right in his arms. Looking at him with her big orange eyes of hers.
"Thank you for bringing her here. She's all I have left you know. If I lose her I literally have nothing left to live for." Aya placed her hand on his right arm. "She'll be safe with us. Nothing will happen her." She smiled.
He looked at the couple in front of him with wonder. "So while I was gone who took my place?" He asks them. Razer looked at Aya with a childish grin. "Can I tell him?" He asks her. The former Red really want to tell his former master. Aya looked at him and rolled her eyes. She than turned back to the alien warlord."It's Zox. He took your place right after you went to jail." She told him. Even through Razer wanted to tell him. Seeing Atrocitus face was way more enjoying.
"That fool is leading my armada?" Atrocitus snarled. "Sadly yes." Aya said to him. The former Red leader was angered that his foolish of an Red Lantern is controlling the biggest army known to the universe. Atrocitus can only think what that buffoon will do. "The Red Lanterns are doomed." He whispered.
"It's not that bad. Bleezs is the actually the one who commands the army. Zox is just their mascot." Razer told him. Atrocitus sigh in relief. Even through Zox was his most trusted right hand man he didn't think he was smart enough to run the Red Lantern Corps by himself.
"Atrocitus?" Aya question.The warlord looked at the female. "Yes?" He said with an arch brow."I'm just wondering. What was your life like before you created the Red Lantern Corps?" She asks him. That struck a nerve in Atrocitus heart. He looked down at Atra and kissed her again.
Aya notices his pain and feel guilty. "If you don't want to answer I understand. I'm sorry." She apologies. The warlord looked at her with pain still in his eyes. But, this time it was different."No is okay. Atra needs to know something good about her grandfather. Before I became this. This monster." He told her.
Atrocitus than started to tell his life story. "I was a psychologist. I wanted to help people. I had a great life and the most beautiful creature I ever married. Her name was Sahara and she was love of my life. Until she gave me my daughter. My greatest love of all." He said with softness.
"My daughter Trakka was a bright,beautiful, and, kind. Everything a man would ever wanted. A home. A family. But, all that change when the blue devils shown up." His voice was full of spite. "They took everything from me! They took away my baby girl! She was still a child! She was only five! And they took her away from me so they can experiment on her!" He shouted.
Causing the baby in his arms to cry. Atrocitus immediately bounced her trying to calm her down. "Sweetie Grandpa's sorry. Hush. Please." But, the young girl was still bailing her eye's out. That hurt him. He didn't want his baby to cry.
"Give her to me." Razer said. The warlord was resilient. Thinking it was his job to comfort his granddaughter. "Atros please." Razer has use Atrocitus real name. That name he almost forgotten when he went completely mad with rage and vengeance. He looked at his crying baby and sigh.
"Fine. But, I swear if she cries louder I struggle you in my own cell." He warn. Razer rolled his eye and grabbed the wailing baby from his arm. Razer did something neither Aya or Atrocitus has expect. He started singing in his native tongue.
It was soft and sweet with a bit of folk style to it.It immediately calm down the baby. Atra started to get sleepy and closed her eyes. Aya looked at him with amazement. "Razer it was beautiful." She told. The Blue Lantern smiled.
"It was a song that my mother used to sing to me back on Volkreg when I was a child." He told her. Aya can't help but, to hug both of them. "Your the best father a daughter could asks for." She compliment.
Atrocitus can't help but to smile at the couple but, soon faded when he heard the guard walking his way.
"Okay times up. Visitation is over." He told them.Before the couple left Atrocitus said one last thing."Please keep take of her. She's the only thing I got left." Razer looked at with a smirk."Like Aya said she safe with us."
