Lights Of Earth
Disclaimer: I found myself coming up with this idea recently and thought it'd be neat to do this considering I've done it several times already but mostly in an individual form with each character.
Summary: A great threat to Earth brings three individuals together.
When an Asteroid half the size of America suddenly appeared on a path to a collision course with Earth, there understandably had been worldwide panic. But despite that, it hadn't kept some from noticing a green glowing individual's attempt at trying to stop the Asteroid. Which gradually began to be something everyone else noticed and thankfully quelling the panicked individuals of the world. But when the green glowing African American man that some recognized to be John Stewart from their time serving with him in the Marines was shown to be having great difficulty in halting the Asteroid's progress, the panic began to set in again. At least, amazingly enough, another green glowing figure showed up to give the man some aide. Some even recognized this to be McKenna Hall, formerly of the SCPD until a shooting ended her career courtesy of Helena 'The Huntress' Bertinelli. But unfortunately, even this was proving to not be enough due to the Asteroid's size. "I gotta get up there." Declared one Tommy Merlyn.
Confusing his friends and loved ones in the process at the Queen Manor since they'd all chosen to gather there to be with one another in their final moments. He ignored any questions his way as he raced to where he'd parked his car and opened up the trunk and brought out what looked to be a Lantern of some kind and then placed a ring on his finger against it. "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!"
Those who had followed him watched in stunned awe as he was bathed in a green glow, not necessarily realizing he was ensuring his Ring was at full charge. To their further awe, when the green glow rescinded, he was dressed as the other two green glowing figures. "You're one of those green glowing figures, Thomas?" Asked his father in shock.
Who'd only really been there with the others since his plans for the Glades was basically kaput thanks to the coming Asteroid. "I am. And we're called Green Lanterns, though I had no idea that McKenna's one of us." He answered and then took off for outer space where his fellow Lanterns were before more questions could be asked.
His arrival surprised the other two Lanterns, McKenna especially so considering their past history and all from back in the day. "We so gotta talk after this is over with." Tommy told her and the other Lantern.
Thankful that their Rings allowed for them to speak in the depths of Outer Space and McKenna would nod whole heartedly in agreement. "We can worry about that later so get to work!" Ordered Stewart and Tommy nodded.
With the three working together, they were able to force the Asteroid back and into another direction entirely and thusly, ensuring that the Earth and its peoples lived on. Something that was causing massive celebrating in very quick fashion for that matter as well. As the Lantern trio descended back to Earth, they discussed things. "I find it a little odd that thing just showed up out of nowhere." John Stewart said with a grim look on his face.
"Something we should look into." Agreed McKenna.
"And if someone or something sent it, we make sure they realize the error of their ways." Tommy threw in.
For this was their home and even though they weren't around as much due to their duties as Lanterns, they would do everything they could to ensure it was protected and looked after!
