With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Handlewithcare · Nov 19, 2019

Haha Paul's awkward small talk

And it's nice to see that the other teams portrayed as competent who can do things without the SI holding their hands.

Flux Casey · Nov 19, 2019

Aww, this was a really nice update. And it genuinely feels like they've become almost another League unto themselves! Just genuinely pleasant to read.

Thank you, corrected.

"Recognized, Superboy, zero four."

I raise my right hand in greeting as Kon walks out of the zeta tube into the training area.

"Hey." He nods in greeting. "How'd it go?"

Well, looks like we get to find out what happened with everyone's missions. <breaks out the Maltesers>

"The suicides were being caused by a group of the things the sheeda set on Magnificus. We caught them, a number of sheeda creatures for STAR Labs to study and someone from Witch World who appears to have been overseeing them. You?"

He shrugs as he strolls over and flops into the construct chair I make for him.

"We found the fight ring no problem. But they weren't braking any locals laws. Canis wanted to enter and kill everyone in the arena-"

How Apokaliptian of him.
Correction: 'any local laws'

I roll my eyes. "Of course he did."

"-but instead of doing that we just planted bugs everywhere and took pictures of everyone's face so we can track their movements."

Sensible. I see Kon's been picking up good habits.

"No one with international warrants?"

"No." He shakes his head. "Robin said he recognised some of their moves, so maybe they're having supervillains train them?" I nod. "There's not much more we can do until the tracking devices say they've moved."

How unsatisfying, no fighting at all. Bet Kon was bored.

"Any trouble?"

"No. I kinda wanted to join in some of the bouts, but I couldn't see how that would help the mission. Roulette's gotta be doing background checks on everyone. If I was gunna get hired there I'd have to get up a villainous identity and that would take months."

"You could go in as yourself. Supervillains would be lining up to fight you."

At least Roulette didn't kidnap any superheroes... Yet.

He smiles at the idea, then shakes his head. "Yeah, but they'd hide all the illegal stuff. And I don't think Roulette would go for it."

"Okay… How about pretending to be Ultraboy? He's not well known, but his picture did get released to the media."

Huh, that might have worked, honestly.

He looks thoughtful. "I don't have a parallel universe transporter."

"I could build you a type of teleporter that doesn't exist on Earth. Unless Roulette had exactly the right people look at it there wouldn't be any way for her to tell the difference."

Keeping in mind that she's the original Mister Terriffic's daughter, she's likely inherited the man's multi-disciplinary skills...

He nods. "Maybe we could try that during winter break. Otherwise all she just has to schedule a fight during school hours and I can't show. Does Ultraboy go to school?"

"I.. didn't check. I… Probably gets tutored?" I frown. "How did you get time off for the Belle Reve infiltration, then?"

A good question, unanswered all this time.

"Ah…" He looks away. "Batman wanted me to do it, and… At the time, school wasn't all that important to me. I guess Batman knew that I didn't really need it, and he needed someone who could pretend to be Tommy Te-."

I give him a mild glare.

"r-ah-whatever his name is?"

Yup, definitely picking up good habits. One way or another.

"Beresford."

"Right, yeah."

We sit in silence for a moment.

Ah, pregnant pauses...

"Did you know that Madagascan taxi drivers usually rent their taxis day by day?"

He frowns slightly. "Really?"

I nod. "But they have to pay for their own petrol, so they hate buying more than they need because if they leave any in the tank then the person who gets that taxi tomorrow gets it."

Sounds like a cutthroat industry. Wouldn't be surprised if they discreetly siphon the petrol out at the end of the day.

Another shake, but this one in tinged with amusement. "Guess that explains why they were driving so-"

"Recognized, Aqualad, B zero two, Arsenal, B one six, Green Lantern, B two two."

"-slow."

Better than too fast, especially if the traffic is as bad as I suspect it might be.

Kaldur has a few minor cuts and Roy's armour has.. enough damage that he's probably going to swallow his pride and ask me to fix it for him. Arisia's armour has a few scratches, but nothing like that much.

Kon's eyes widen slightly. "What happened?"

I take a purple healing ray out of subspace and float it over to Kaldur, who takes it and begins playing it over his injuries before replying.

One more thing for Arisia to add to her equipment list. Hope she's paying attention.

"Mister Gaines was being held captive by a alien Green Lantern identified as a durlan."

"Ooh, nasty. The Chinese have been fighting them for decades."

He nods. "It did not communicate with us directly, so I do not know whether or not it was part of the same group. And since it died when its ship was destroyed I doubt that we will ever know for certain."

Wonder whether that happened in Renegade timeline. I bet it makes his position with the Chinese stronger.

Arisia looks at my construct chairs for a moment, then raises her right hand and creates chairs for the three of them.

Kaldur gives her a small nod as he sits down. "Thank you."

Oneupmanship. Surprised she didn't add comfy cushions...

Roy pulls off his helmet and shakes his head. "I'm gunna go start work on my armour." I start to open my mouth. "Yeah, I know. I just wanna do what I can before I hand the rest over to you."

I nod as he stomps off down the corridor, the right leg's motive systems noticeably lagging. Could be the power, the data links or the servos themselves, but he can probably fix that…

It's gonna get to the point he'll have to fix it without a Lantern, someday. Better he learns now.

"The Green Lantern assigned to Durla. He's called… Von Daggle? Van Daggle? Something like that?"

"I will check." Her eyes glow for a moment. "No, there is no Lantern Daggle in the Green Lantern Corps. I've sent a copy of our mission report to the Lanterns assigned to that Sector. Hopefully, they'll be able to find out why it was here."

Kon leans towards them slightly. "Did that Gaines guy make it out okay?"

Kon, asking the important questions.

Kaldur nods. "He had only minor injuries. He is staying at STAR Labs so that they can ensure that he is not carrying a durlan nanotech infection like the one which transformed August Colonel in Iron, but they believe that he will be fine. Is your mission complete as well?"

"For now. We're gunna keep an eye-."

"Recognized, Miss Martian B zero five."

And team four returns. Busy day for debriefs.

Kon gets out of his chair to greet her.

"Hey, how'd it g-?"

**Ugh!**

M'gann's jaw is clenched and I can see her anger.

Ah, things went well, then? [/sarcasm]

Kon looks concerned as he lays his hands on her shoulders, and she reaches up to put her hands on his.

"What happened?"

"There weren't any Kobra cultists before the police started beating up civilians, but there are plenty now. I don't even think they're part of the Kobra we fought before. I think they're just using the name."

Copycats. As long as they don't wear silver face-shields and yell 'Cooobraaaaa!' as their battle cry, it should work out.

Kaldur nods. "That is troubling."

"And the police did not want to hear that they were the cause of the problem. It's just like-."

"Mars and the Hyperclan?"

I shudder to imagine the situation there in Paragon timeline. Probably much worse than Renegade's.

"Yeah. And I don't think the situation is going to improve."

I wave my hand and a holographic after-action report form floats over to her.

"Maybe. But we're not out of options yet."

Fun's over, time for paperwork! Even if it's not actually on paper...

Kaldur nods. "My mission requires no follow up, and I am certain that we are all willing to assist you with yours."

M'gann nods and manages a small smile.

"Thanks guys."

Ah, jolly cooperation!

Good to see this part. It seem the missions went in this order of success, most to least: Team Kon; Team Kaldur; Team OL; Team M'gann. Am I right?

None of them exactly went tits up. All of them have lasting problems.

Grimnar · Nov 19, 2019

Oh? That black ops part is interesting. Is he undercover right now and removed from the list? It would be interesting if, not knowing OL has namedropped him, he comes back into action and responds to that request by contacting her.

That would open up an interesting series of questions.

'Tits-up' probably not the best choice of words. Correcting it to 'success'. And nothing can be fixed in one afternoon, can it?

We caught them, a number of sheeda creatures for STAR Labs to study and someone from Witch World who appears to have been overseeing them.

While this could be considered valid if you stretch, any of "We caught them, and sent a number" or "We caught a number" (or "We caught them, sent a number" omitting "and" as dialogue style) would be more correct.

"Okay, I think that's about enough for this evening."

It's… Hard. Hard to take it off.

She obediently floats back down to ground level, the green flames that accompany the use of her-. Of Alan's ring, guttering as she does so.

The ring feels so… Right on her hand. And… More than that, more than its usefulness as a tool or a weapon, it represents a clean break from… Being a Crock. Becoming a Green Lantern. But whatever else it had involved, being raised a Crock had taught her patience. She'd kept up her end of the bargain with Alan, and he'd kept his. And more than that, more than these lessons, he'd introduced her to other superheroes. His old mostly retired friends, but also their students and allies. She'd met most of the Justice League. Two years, graduate from High School, and then… Anything.

She pulls the ring off her right ring finger and holds it out to him, and he takes it from her with a nod and a smile. And just like always she can't help but feel diminished by the absence, an impulse she ruthlessly quashes. She doesn't just 'snatch and grab' anymore. She's building something, something solid and hers. Trusting people-. Some people. People of proven dedication to their cause.

Wonder Woman was… Nicer than she thought that she'd be. Friendly without prying too much. Of course, if she did decide to join the Justice League, they'd probably expect more than that. A full background report as part of the process. Wonder Woman might not have pressed her, but The Question certainly would.

But that was fine. Whatever it took. She didn't intend to let the suspicions her father beat into her control her life.

"You wanna fly home, or do you need bus fare?"

The first few times they'd trained like this, she hadn't wanted to come to the training area with him or leave with him. She said that it was because it wasn't secure, and that was… Partially true. But more than that, she hadn't wanted to have to rely on him.

Not any more.

She nods. "Fly."

Alan smiles and holds out his right hand. She's suggested that he should try and avoid telegraphing his intent like that, but he just shrugged and claimed to be too old to learn new tricks. It's-.

Something catches her eyes and she looks up, focusing on… A tiny green dot, rapidly approaching them through the air. Alan spots it a moment later, frowning as he does so.

"Is that Hal? I wonder what he wants?"

Jade hopes that it's Hal. He has a serious military demeanour and as such was far easier to deal with than the abrasive idiot who served as his-.

It's not a Lantern. It's a ring, without-.

"Jade Scott of Sector Two Eight One Four. You have the ability to overcome great fear."

…

In a daze, she holds out her right hand, the ring floating towards her to replace the one she just returned to her mentor.

"Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

A green corona envelops her, a thin layer like Hal and Gardner have rather than the burning plume like Alan has. Her uniform, based on what Alan wears, shimmers for a moment as the ring tried to create a standard Corps uniform. She stops it-.

"Jade Scott, huh?"

Oh.

That.

"It beat the alternatives." She takes a breath to center herself and regards the ring. "Ring, which of this Sector's Lanterns died?"

"Green Lantern Guy Gardner of Sector Two Eight One Four has been critically injured and will be unable to perform his duties for an indeterminate period of time. This ring was dispatched to select a replacement."

That's… Good. She didn't like him but that didn't mean that she wanted him dead.

"Is he in a hospital?"

The-. Her ring doesn't answer Alan's question. Alan's ring doesn't talk and can't answer questions. The only time when Hal managed to get the better of him when they sparred was when he let his ring do his thinking for him.

"Ring, state current location of Lantern Gardner."

"Lantern Gardner is presently located in The Johns Hopkins Hospital."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Traumatic brain injury. Broken right forearm. Fractured right shoulder. Broken jaw. Broken ribs. Numerous bruises and lacerations."

Alan creates a brick wall construct around them.

"Hal said a lot of Lanterns die in the first few minutes because whatever killed the last Lantern comes after them."

She shakes her head. "Because they follow the ring. This ring didn't come from Lantern Gardner."

"Still, it's a green glow. We should be ready just in case."

She doesn't reply that she's always ready. She suspects that he knows about the knives, but if he hasn't felt the need to draw attention to them then she won't either.

"What happened to him?"

A moment of silence-.

"Answer him."

"Lantern Gardner was struck by a motor vehicle. The driver contacted the medical services. Lantern Gardner was not involved in combat at the time."

Hit.. by a.. car? He can't have been wearing his ring. Or looking both ways.

"Is my appointment provisional?"

"No. As of accepting this ring, you are now a Green Lantern of Sector Two Eight One Four."

"Are there any matters in this Sector which require my immediate attention?"

"No."

"Do the Guardians have any orders for me?"

"No specific orders on file. Standing orders are that newly chosen Green Lanterns should report to Oa for basic training."

She lowers her right hand. "I don't need it."

Alan chuckles, then bows his head slightly. "We've covered the basics, Jade. The rings the Corps hands out have a whole bunch of functions that my ring doesn't."

"You checked what Green Lantern Corps basic training involves when you started training me. We've covered most of it. I can use this ring's archives to learn the rest."

She clenches her right fist and floats into the air.

"Besides, I have school on Monday."

"Spatial warp to Oa-."

"No."

"Spatial warp suspended."

She smiles faintly at the idea of willing her ring into submission.

"Let's go and show Artemis my new ring."

"Okay, I think that's about enough for this evening."

It's… Hard. Hard to take it off.

But the will needed to do so is important. So, an Alt-Jade interlude? haven't seen those for a while.

She obediently floats back down to ground level, the green flames that accompany the use of her-. Of Alan's ring, guttering as she does so.

The ring feels so… Right on her hand. And… More than that, more than its usefulness as a tool or a weapon, it represents a clean break from… Being a Crock. Becoming a Green Lantern.

And more than that, more than these lessons, he'd introduced her to other superheroes. His old mostly retired friends, but also their students and allies. She'd met most of the Justice League. Two years, graduate from High School, and then… Anything.

A much better fate than YJ Canon, much less Earth-1 Canon.

She pulls the ring off her right ring finger and holds it out to him, and he takes it from her with a nods and a smile. And just like always she can't help but feel diminished by the absence, an impulse she ruthlessly quashes. She doesn't just 'snatch and grab' anymore.

A full background report as part of the process. Wonder Woman might not have pressed her, but The Question certainly would.

Given that she's proved herself as a hero, I don't foresee anyone other than Batman and the Question complaining.

But that was fine. Whatever it took. She didn't intend to let the suspicions her father beat into her control her life.

"You wanna fly home, or do you need bus fare?"

The first few times they'd trained like this, she hadn't wanted to come to the training area with him or leave with him. She said that it was because it wasn't secure, and that was… Partially true. But more than that, she hadn't wanted to have to rely on him.

Understandable given her origins. But telling that she's changed.

Not any more.

She nods. "Fly."

Alan smiles and holds out his right hand. She's suggested that he should try and avoid telegraphing his intent like that, but he just shrugged and claimed to be too old to learn new tricks. It's-.

I'm assuming he's in his nineties, kept young by the Ring. To be honest, this situation is probably good for him. Gives him something to focus on living for.

Something catches her eyes and she looks up, focusing on… A tiny green dot, rapidly approaching them through the air. Alan spots it a moment later, frowning as he does so.

"Is that Hal? I wonder what he wants?"

Jade hopes that it's Hal. He has a serious military demeanour and as such was far easier to deal with than the abrasive idiot who served as his-.

Heheh. Guy not making a good impression on her, eh?

It's not a Lantern. It's a ring, without-.

"Jade Scott of Sector Two Eight One Four. You have the ability to overcome great fear."

Oh-ho! ... Wait, who died?

In a daze, she holds out her right hand, the ring floating towards her to replace the one she just returned to her mentor.

"Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps."

A green corona envelops her, a thin layer like Hal and Gardner have rather than the burning plume like Alan has. Her uniform, based on what Alan wears, shimmers for a moment as the ring tried to create a standard Corps uniform. She stops it-.

'Based on Alan's', eh? So, green tights, red tunic and black cape with green lining (or does she do the 'No capes!' thing). Colorful if nothing else. Wonder what the Guardians will think.

"Jade Scott, huh?"

Oh.

That.

"It beat the alternatives." She takes a breath to centre herself and regards the ring. "Ring, which of this Sector's Lanterns died?"

Sensible question to ask, given the usual cause of a Ring's transferring ownership.
Correction: 'to center herself' I think? Centre is a location, center is the act.

"Green Lantern Guy Gardner of Sector Two Eight One Four has been critically injured and will be unable to perform his duties for an indeterminate period of time. This ring was dispatched to select a replacement."

That's… Good. She didn't like him but that didn't mean that she wanted him dead.

Ah, that incident. So by the time the Team forms, Jade will be a senior member, if not a mentor.

"Is he in a hospital?"

The-. Her ring doesn't answer Alan's question. Alan's ring doesn't talk and can't answer questions. The only time when Hal managed to get the better of him when they sparred was when he let his ring do his thinking for him.

Hmm, Wonder if she could ask her ring to repair Alan's. Or would it refuse due to some statue of the Book of Oa?

"Ring, state current location of Lantern Gardner."

"Lantern Gardner is presently located in The Johns Hopkins Hospital."

"What's wrong with him?"

"Traumatic brain injury. Broken right forearm. Fractured right shoulder. Broken jaw. Broken ribs. Numerous bruises and lacerations."

Hope she plans to assist with that. Assuming she thinks to do so.

Alan creates a brick wall construct around them.

"Hal said a lot of Lanterns die in the first few minutes because whatever killed the last Lantern comes after them."

She shakes her head. "Because they follow the ring. This ring didn't come from Lantern Gardner."

She has a point. Guy left the ring at home when this happened. Bet there's a small hole in his house.

"Still, it's a green glow. We should be ready just in case."

She doesn't reply that she's always ready. She suspects that he knows about the knives, but if he hasn't felt the need to draw attention to them then she won't either.

I see he's been learning from her, regardless of what he said.

"What happened to him?"

A moment of silence-.

"Answer him."

"Lantern Gardner was struck by a motor vehicle. The driver contacted the medical services. Lantern Gardner was not involved in combat at the time."

Still ridiculous. If I had a power ring or equivalent, it'd likely never leave my finger.

Hit.. by a.. car? He can't have been wearing his ring. Or looking both ways.

"Is my appointment provisional?"

"No. As of accepting this ring, you are now a Green Lantern of Sector Two Eight One Four."

Oh, my. Replacing John Stewart in the line of succession. Alan's training must have come in handy. Oh, the guardians are just gonna love her...

"Are there any matters in this Sector which require my immediate attention?"

"No."

"Do the Guardians have any orders for me?"

No specific orders on file. Standing orders are that newly chosen Green Lanterns should report to Oa for basic training."

No need for that here. I suspect she'd teach the other rookies some dirty tricks Kilowog would hate (or at least claim to, then incorporate into his curriculum.)

She lowers her right hand. "I don't need it."

Alan chuckles, then bows his head slightly. "We've covered the basics, Jade. The rings the Corps hands out have a whole bunch of functions that my ring doesn't."

"You checked what Green Lantern Corps basic training involves when you started training me. We've covered most of it. I can use this ring's archives to learn the rest."

Confident. Like any new Lantern. It's not going to be fun when she gets that confidence tested.

She clenches her right fist and floats into the air.

"Besides, I have school on Monday."

Ha! Teen Lantern, eat your non-existent heart out. Seriously, what the hell, DC?

"Spatial warp to Oa-."

"No."

"Spatial warp suspended."

Oh, the Guardians are going to notice that. I bet a visit from Hal will be incoming.

She smiles faintly at the idea of willing her ring into submission.

"Let's go and show Artemis my new ring."

Sibling rivalry, ha! Bet Artemis isn't going to take kindly to this...

This was a fun chapter. Empowering sequences like this always are. And the fact it's Jade? Even better. I bet she's more of an irritant to the Guardians than Hal is.

How did The Question become a member of the League?

In this timeline the Waynes were never murdered. Bruce Wayne never became Batman. When the Justice League formed it managed without him, but over time they found that the lack of an obsessive-compulsive investigator hampered their operations in complex cases. Thus, the Question got fingered.

Mr Zoat said:

Actually, while the correction is correct, it's for a different reason. This isn't location/act, it's British and American English. 'Centre' is British English; 'Center' is American English. But a lot of places in America use 'Centre' in their name because it's all fancy-sounding.

As an American, Jade ~~wants to sell out and settle down~~ would use 'center' for both the location and the act.

Don't forget driver-kun, the real hero.

Bus, probably, since that's what it was in the comics.

And Ch'p was killed by a truck.

Apparently the true nemesis of the Green Lantern Corps is drivers who don't pay attention.

Truck-kun is no laughing matter. Bastard killed my grandfather.
