Sinestro was sat at the computer in the lair, scanning the internet for mentions of the rings. Suddenly, an light started flashing as it showed that the door bell was being rung. A camera-feed popped up showing Detective Stewart at the door. He rolled his eyes, before heading up the stairs and re-adopting his disguise. He walked over to the door and opened it. "Hello... Can i help you?" He asked. Stewart flashed his badge.

"Detective Stewart, CCPD Special Victims unit. Is Hal here?" He asked. Sinestro stared at him.

"No he's at school, but i'm his new fos-"

"The gold one..." Stewart responded. Sinestro stared at him. "Hal finds a magic ring, gets adopted by someone, doesn't run away from them and then shows up with a partner?" Sinestro looked into Stewart's eyes, seeing that there was absolutely no way to bluff his way past this.

"You're a very sharp person, come in." He said, turning around. "Of course, now that you know who i am, i can't let you live." Stewart followed him in, regardless of whether Thomas was lying or not, power like that meant that if he wanted him dead, then there was nothing John could do to stop him. They went to the living room and sat down. "Can i offer you some refreshment?" He asked.

"I'm fine, thank you. What i do need is for you to keep Hal out of this Superhero business." He said, bluntly. They locked eyes again.

"That's not possible." Sinestro responded. "He wields the Green Ring of Will. It chose him and he has accepted it. There is nothing that i can do."

"Don't give me that destiny bullshit." Stewart responded. "I don't know who you are or what planet you come from, i don't know how you treat children there, but on this planet, we keep them out of war." Sinestro looked him up and down.

"You have seen the horrors of war... I know the look of a man concerned about his child." He got up and walked to the window, staring out at the street. "My daughter is currently fighting in a war on my homeworld. Trying to keep a despot called "Arkillo" from taking my people to war against the rest of the universe." He turned to Stewart. "I understand exactly how you feel, but i accepted the fact that she was going to fight that war and there wasn't a damn thing i could do to stop her. You need to accept that about Hal. I have never seen someone so eagerly take to the ring as Hal. He's had a taste of glory and he likes it." He leaned against the window and crossed his arms. "There are two kinds of people who take to the rings. There are people like you and me, the soldiers, the ones who know how to fight and know how to kill. Men like us make great lanterns... But then there are people like Hal. The young ones, the impressionable ones with all of the imagination in the universe and a need to do what is right... Those men become legends." Stewart looked down. "I wouldn't take that ring away from him, even if i wanted to. Because he is never going to stop fighting for what he believes in. If i take that ring away, then the only difference is that he's just going to be fighting without any means of winning."

"You... You seem to have figured him out quickly." John said.

"He reminds me of my little daughter..."

"Was she also stubborn, bull-headed, completely overconfident and always right, no matter how wrong they are?" Sinestro smiled.

"It's like you've known her all her life... And she still is all of those things." They sat for a minute.

"Can you promise me you'll keep him safe?" John asked, breaking the silence. Sinestro looked up.

"If i can't, then everything i have worked for will be for nothing and none of us will live long enough to mourn him. And by the way... Call me Sinestro..."

It was lunch time, Hal had come close to blowing his brains out during Math class. He found it hard to concentrate in school before, but now... It didn't even seem to matter. He was a Superhero, his job security was absolute. Maybe he should just skip out, do a little hero work. After all, he needed to act normal, and always used to skip out on school... As he was headed for the cafeteria, he slowed and then stopped, before turning around and heading for the front door. As he was about to push open, he felt himself stop and getting pulled back by his backpack.

"Wooow there squirt." Said a familiar womans voice. "Is someone planning on skipping out on lunch with his favourite girl?" She asked as she held him in place.

"Carol! Look, i was just heading out to-"

"Skip out on school? Bad boy." She grinned. At that point, the door opened and John walked through. "Uh oh, it's the po-po." Carol laughed. "Got him right here, officer." She called. Stewart approached them.

"Hal, just the man i was coming to see. Come with me, i'm going to take you for a ride." Carol starred at Hal for a second.

"Oh, wasn't being serious, but ok." She threw him into John's arms. John caught him and the two walked out together, to the squad-car.

"Get in." He called to Hal, before getting in the driver's seat. The car pulled away. "You want to get some MacDonald's?" He asked. "I mean, Horace went nuts because they were screwing him around..." They continued to drive for 5 minutes, Hal didn't say anything. "I said that we were going to talk later." There was more silence. "I talked with "Sinestro"" He said.

"So he told you?" Hal asked.

"Everything... But i want to tell you now, i'm not happy with you fighting bad guys."

"Hey, i've only faught 2 bad guys so far." He replied. They continued to drive.

"Look, i know i'm-" He started, before the radio began to chatter.

[i]"All units, be advised, we have a 207 in progress at 29 Salsibury place. Code P."[/i]

"Need some back up?" Hal asked. Without missing a step, he pulled over.

"Not from you, get out and go back to school." He ordered. He then grabbed the radio "Detective Stewart, responding." He turned on the lights and sirens and drove away at breakneck speed. Running a few red lights and almost crashing twice, he finally reached Salsibury place and pulled his gun out and began to approach the door. He pushed it open, he could hear crying inside. He then saw a purple light flash and something ripped through the roof and shot away. He moved in, still hearing the crying of a man inside. The man rushed towards Stewart. "HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE 'EM!" He ordered. The man stopped.

"PLEASE, SHE TOOK MY DAUGHTER, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T SHOOT ME!" He cried.

"Is the assailant still here?" John asked.

"NO, SHE'S GONE!!! THAT CRAZY BITCH TOOK HER!" The man broke down onto his knee's sobbing. John grunted, holstering his gun, before pulling the radio to his lips.

"This is Stewart. Perp is 135. Send forensics and backup." He said.

[color=8dc73f]"Can i be of assistance, citizen?"[/color] Asked a voice, descending through the hole in the ceiling. John looked up with fuming anger to see The Green Lantern descending. The man fell over onto his backside and began shuffling back against the wall, terrified out of his mind. [color=8dc73f]"Do not be afraid, i'm The Green Lantern, protector of the innocent, champion of will."[/color] He said. John looked at the man.

"He's a superhero." The man slowly got to his feet.

"Th-th-thanks..." He gulped hard. He then looked at Hal's chest. "Is... Is Holly related to you?" He asked. Hal stopped dead. Holly was the name of his social worker. How the hell did this guy know who he was?

"Who's Holly? Did you know the perp?" John asked.

"Y... Yes, she's our social worker... My wife is in jail for drug dealing... She was just checking up on us..." He took a big snort to get rid of the snot oozing from his nose. "She was staring at... Little Mary and..." He burst into tears again. "She started speaking in tongue's, some fucking mexican shit or something... Then she started glowing purple and had... That kind of costume." Hal looked down at his own costume. He flashed his ring around the room, a green light emanating.

[color=8dc73f]"Where did this happen?"[/color] He asked. The man pointed through to another room. Hal floated into the room, flashing the ring everywhere. [color=8dc73f]"You say it was Purple?"[/color] He asked. The man nodded. He then floated back and motioned John to come over. He whispered in his ear [color=8dc73f]"This is weird, it says there is purple energy in there... But there is no purple ring... Just Red, Green, Blue, Gold, Indigo, Star Sapphire and Orange"[/color] He looked puzzled as John stared at him.

"Indigo is purple..."

[color=8dc73f]"Oh... OH SHIT!"[/color] He threw his hands over his head. [color=8dc73f]"I've gotta... No..."[/color] He straightened himself as he turned back to the father. [color=8dc73f]"Have no fear, i'll search out this villain. Stay sharp, Detective, i will be in touch."[/color] He then flew out through the hole in the roof, following the energy trail that the Indigo had left as it escaped. He followed it down-town to see another apartment with a woman crying inside, with a hole in the roof. Floating down, he looked at the woman. [color=8dc73f]"Did a woman in purple just fly through and steal your child?"[/color] He asked. The woman nodded. [color=8dc73f]"Fret not, i'll return your child, i promise!"[/color] He called. This time the trail was much fresher. He followed it to another part of the city, this time to an apartment block. He arrived just in time to see Holly floating out of 4th story of an appartment building, 3 pods of purple energy following her. [color=8dc73f]"STOP!!!"[/color] He called. Holly was carrying what looked like a sleeping child in her arms. A pair of green Gattling guns appeared next to him. [color=8dc73f]"DROP THE KIDS AND WALK AWAY!!!"[/color] He yelled. Holly looked at him. Her eyes were glassy and glowing purple.

[color=a187be]"Nok, Abin Sur..."[/color] She said, her arms raised as the child floated out of her hands and a construct of a beautiful woman surrounded her before forming into a pod. Behind Holly, a man ran to the hole in the apartment with a shotgun in his hands.

"GIVE MY BABY BACK YOU BITCH!!!" He pointed it at her. Holly's head cocked to the side.

[color=a187be]"Murkasha ivitha esticos"[/color] She said, As he pumped the shotgun, A whisp of Indigo energy floated over to him and took the form of the same beautiful woman.

"K...Katie?" He asked. The woman kissed him on the forehead and he fell asleep, the gun went off as he dropped to the floor, shattering the construct, Hal seethed as he watched this, he couldn't shoot, if he did, then she might lose concentration and then the children would fall several stories.

[color=8dc73f]"GOD DAMMIT, HOLLY, LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE!!!"[/color] He yelled, before rushing forward. She cocked her head again.

[color=a187be]"Tibellu, Abin Sur? Imshaski dostach?"[/color] She asked. Several [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/greenlantern/images/e/e4/Arin_Sur.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120510204100]alien women[/url] appeared to him, he constructed a large sword, slashing them as they approached him, destroying them as he rushed forwards. Finally making it to Holly, the sword changed to a baseball bat with the words "Goodnight Irene!" running down the shaft, he swung it at her, when suddenly a  [url=https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/greenlantern/images/d/d4/Indigo_power_staff.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100424120710]Staff[/url] appeared in her hands and she blocked it. [color=a187be]"Shakshaka, Abin sur!"[/color] She seemed to be getting frustrated now, "[color=a187be]"Tubtak shumi aha Arin?"[/color] she asked.

[color=8dc73f]"LOOK, LADY, I'VE NO CLUE WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!"[/color] He yelled, trying to swing the bat again and again, each swing getting easily parried by the bat.

[i]"Hal..."[/i] A voice Hal had never heard before, but seemed oddly familiar. [i]"Hal, don't fight it... These children are better off with the Tribe..."[/i]

[color=8dc73f]"I'LL STOP FIGHTING WHEN YOU GIVE THE KIDS BACK!!!"[/color] He yelled. He summoned a boomerang and threw it off into the distance. He then summoned a second bat to keep swinging, he kept swinging, keeping her distracted, the boomerang came around the other side of the building, before Holly raised a hand and a construct dog jumped up and grabbed the boomerang in its mouth. Suddenly, a warm hand was placed on his shoulder, he turned and swung, but the bats went straight through the construct. It was a face he hadn't seen outside of his dreams. He hesitated as he tried to contemplate the face, before getting the staff to the back of his head and the world went black.

[color=a187be]"Nok, Abin Sur"[/color]
