King Clown
DCU Green Lantern #21 Power and Control 1/6
Life is different now. My job is now, my everything. Well both my jobs, but mainly being an architect. Ever since the outbreak, I haven't been this sectors lantern, just a guardian of Earth. There aren't many things that happen here either, it's like since I've gotten this ring, people stopped being evil. Alan has been trying to set me up on a date for the past few weeks, but I really don't want to. It's something that I don't need at all right now. I finally have been doing good with my *real* job. People have been using my designs for the past couple of weeks, even if I think they aren't my best work, it pays the bills.
Alan over comms - You know I met Morgan Freeman? Saved him from getting shot back in 43.
Alan has been catching up on lots of media and events. With him being trapped in a lantern he couldn't learn anything he didn't hear.
Alan over comms - I think I fought with Jerry Seinfeld's dad in a battle. Maybe I could've been on Seinfeld.
John - I'm pretty sure you'd be like 80 at that point Alan.
Alan over comms - 74… But still, old actors exist.
John - Funny, so are we gonna see that film tonight?
Alan over comms - X2? Why see a film about people with powers when you can talk to them?
John - By that logic, you wouldn't want to see any war movies. Why see one when you could go to war yourself?
Alan over comms - That logic makes no sense. Anyways speaking of movies, how about instead of taking this old coot, you take that model.
John - Mari? Nah, she is way out of my league.
Alan over comms - You're a Green Lantern, a superhero. What better league is there?
John - I guess…
Before I finish my sentence, I feel something pierce my shoulder.
John - AGGGHGGHGGA.
Alan over comms - John? John!
I smash through a rooftop, into a truck parked inside the building. I roll off the truck, pulling the object out of my shoulder. I see a man drop from the hole in the ceiling.
John - Why can't I move?
??? - It's a neurotoxin, it'll go away soon.
John - What in the hell are throwing spears in people for?
He walks over picking up the rod, kicking me in the process.
??? - It's a javelin actually.
John - Who are you? And what are you doing here?
Javelin - Name's Javelin, I'm a mercenary, hired to keep you occupied for about ten more minutes.
John - Why?
Javelin - Well since the buyer didn't ask for any disclosure, someone wants to rob a bank, so I'm keeping you occupied while he does.
John - Who?
Javelin - Heh, you ask a lot of questions, you know that. I can't tell you that, that's just plain rude.
I feel my ring start to twitch, he notices it, tossing a small price of glowing metal on the ground.
Javelin - That's ion energy of the yellow kind.
John - How do you… know about ion energy?
Javelin - Let's just say, us “super villains” stay touch, even the intergalactic pink ones.
John - Sinestro…
My eyes move over to the piece of metal. My ring looks to be charging up with the ion energy rather than de-power. I feel my arms be able to move again, along with the rest of my body.
John - Oh yeah…
Javelin - This wasn't part of my contract. He can keep his money.
He slams his javelin into the ground, releasing smoke from the sides. I create a fan construct to blow the smoke away, but when I do, he is gone.
Alan over comms - John? Your signals back, are you alright?
John - Fine, but I need to get to the bank. I'll fill you in later.
I fly through the hole in the roof, making my way towards the bank. I look down to my ring. Why did you absorb the yellow energy? You should be poisoned right now. I stop thinking about it when I arrive at the bank. There is a huge hole in the glass. I fly inside to see… No it can't be.
