DCU Green Lantern #13 All That Glitters 1/7

Tommy - So the report just came in, Dr. Polaris was moved to Stryker's island yesterday.

 

 

John - He should've been taken to rehab center or something. He needs help, not captivity.

 

 

Tommy - I know what you're saying, but some people are crazy forever, it doesn't matter how much help they get. And it seems professor Don got away with 2 months probation.

 

 

I look down, I promised Emerson that Don would serve for his crimes, what a load if shit that turned out to be. As we are discussing Lee walks into the building, sitting down next to me.

 

 

Lee - So what's going on? Why'd y'all two call me here?

 

 

Tommy - We want to help you learn how to use your… abilities.

 

 

John - Training was a big part of me becoming Green Lantern, to become whatever you want to be, you need practice.

 

 

Tommy - But when we're training we gotta call you your codename instead of Lee. You can be “Ink Master”.

 

 

We both look at him.

 

 

Tommy - Too on the nose?

 

 

Lee - Listen I appreciate y'all but…

 

 

He is cut off by a big crash outside. Me and Tommy look at each other, then slide out if the booth we are in. I clench my fist, causing my ring to form my suit. Lee gets up and follows us as we run outside. A man in a gold suit is standing in the middle of the street.

 

 

Tommy - Oh no, John you need to call Hal.

 

 

John - What? Why?

 

 

Tommy - That's Goldface Hal's first villain.

 

 

Lee - We can take this fool.

 

 

Keith - I'd love to see you try. Green Lantern, I want your predecessor. You have 24 hours to oblige or people will die.

 

 

John - Yeah that's not gonna happen.

 

 

I lung forward to strike him in the head.

 

 

Tommy - No John don't touch him!

 

 

As I'm about to hit him, he catches my fist. My ring creates a life support field as it begins to be engulfed by gold.

 

 

Lee - No! Now you really gonna get a smack down.

 

 

I see through the gold shell, as Lee creates a snake from his arm. He sends the snake forward but Goldface catches it, turning it gold. He uses it as a rope, swinging Lee through the air into a bench. Tommy finishes rounding up the civilians in the area and begins to lead them out before Goldface stops him.

 

 

Keith - I knew I recognised you. You're that pie faced weasel. You were the rat. If I kill you, he'll come runnin’.

 

 

Goldface raises his arms and slams the ground, sending a wave of gold energy towards Tommy and the civilians

 

 

John - Nooo!

 

 

I burst out of the gold, putting a barrier around Tommy and the rest of the civilians just in time before Goldface's ground pound can hurt them.

 

 

The gold feeds from my barricade up to my ring causing me to fall. Goldface walks up to me about to grab my face before Tommy hits him in the head with a street sign.

 

 

Keith - I think I've had just about enough of this city.

 

 

He grabs the sign and hits Tommy with it. He then throws the sign into a building, causing rubble to fall on top of me.
