Hall Of
Brightest Light
Disclaimer: I was thinking about AJ Diggle and what his age would've been by the time Arrow ended when I started to think about McKenna Hall as a Green Lantern.
Summary: McKenna Hall got the chance to Protect and Serve again when a green ring entered her life.
There was still some days when McKenna Hall couldn't believe what her life had become following the year she'd spent in rehab after getting shot by Helena 'The Huntress' Bertinelli through bad decision making on her part. Depression had hit her pretty hard following the end of her recovery period as she hadn't had much to focus on after that and it gave her more time than she liked considering McKenna's thoughts drifted to things like how Police work had given her life meaning. Along with how happy she'd been with Oliver in her life for the short time they'd been together. But then came one late night when she'd been out for an aimless walk through the neighborhood she lived in with her sister in Coast City, lost in thought and strongly feeling the depression when a green glowing ring suddenly appeared in front of her. Part of McKenna had thought she'd finally snapped but quickly realized how wrong she'd been once the ring had taken her to the planet of Oa. Home of the Green Lantern Corps.
Now, there had been some distrust towards her considering Earth's reputation due to something going with the race known as the Dominators, along with some wariness due to her mental state but gradually McKenna would prove her doubters wrong. For the ring and the duties of a Green Lantern had given her a renewed sense of purpose, even if it had meant she had to relocate to Sector 22 of the Universe for where she'd serve as a Lantern. Something that had been quite the conversation to have with her sister when the time came as there'd been no way she could've gone without telling her anything. Life on Oa hadn't fully prepared her for life in Sector 22 but McKenna didn't let that get to her and overcame any obstacles that came her way thanks to her own tenacity and the power of her ring. And like the others when the time came, McKenna would be just as shocked when word came that a group on Earth had managed to repel the Dominators. "Well, score one for my fellow Earthlings! Wonder if my sister knows anything about it?"
Something to ask the next time she called up her sister! "Now… To deal with the Ock and the Oud. Again." Sighed the Lantern.
One day, they'd finally come to terms but today would not be that day to her dismay.
Author's Notes: Exploring something with McKenna was pretty fun. And yay, looks like the PM system here is down for now.
