Making Deputies
The group of lanterns were gathered around in a circle not far from the North Pole. Larfleeze was practically bouncing that they were so close to the Fat Man's workshop and Dex swore he would punch the orange lantern just to make him stand still for longer than two seconds. They had business to attend to first and then they could talk to the Fat Man about getting Larfleeze the promised presents.

They were going to create two rings of each color to help in the fight against the Black Lanterns. They would make more, but as it was the rings were only at half power. They would have to make do with what they had until they could find a way to get to Oa and see why the rings were depowered.

Dex looked around the circle. Each color had two more rings, red had three, added to the ranks. It was time to send them out. He nodded and the newly created rings were thrown up into the air. They immediately took off and started seeking out wearers.

	Rex walks up next to Mark, clutching his helmet under one arm. "Hey, man. How are you holding up?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not well." He takes another swig of his beer. "I don't like what's coming. I've been trying to figure it out. Near as I can figure a storm snuck up on us and we weren't prepared." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, there's a eye in every hurricane, man." Rex says, looking at Mark's beer a little longingly.

"I really hope those undeead assholes didn't drink the beer in the fridge that Zan got. Because if Zan showed them where my beer was, and they drank it..." Rex says, not sure exactly how to finish that sentence.

He thought it would be humorous until he realized that the whole "I'm going to kill them" bit didn't really apply and was in poor taste. He settled instead for truth.

"Hey, can you magic up another one of those?" he asks.

Mark actually laughs. "I think Nabu would have a fit. But given the circumstances...."

He casts a spell a a generic looking brown bottle appears. It is simply labeled as beer. "It doesn't taste good. It's not meant to. It's to help deal with the stress."

He glances at Rex as he offers him the bottle.

"I can't imagine how it felt to fight someone who looked like your Mother. It wasn't her. It was NOT Khufu and Chayara. I hope you understand that. Whatever was said to you was a lie."

	The rings reached their designated targets and flew onto their fingers. REX STEWART OF EARTH: YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO OVERCOME GREAT FEAR. WELCOME TO THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS.

Rex pops the top on the bottle and takes a long pull. "I didn't ask for great beer. I'll get that after this whole fiasco is over. I'm also gonna take my kid sister out to lunch and then have some quality time with my girlfriend." Rex tells Mark.

He thinks about Mark's words on Khufu and Chay-ara. He doesn't know the entire story on the curse that Carter and his mother labor under, but he knows it was the main factor in the disintegration of his parents' marriage.

"I don't know what else Nabu knows about those two, but /I/ know this much. I find those two again and it's /over/ for both of them. But I'm worried about what we're seeing now. We've seen dead people that are important to us all in some way come back. Mickey and Zandor...I still can't believe we didn't know about Zan." Rex says quietly.

"It makes me wonder who else is dealing with this out there. We need to get in touch with the Justice League and the Titans. But I don't care how many of the dead they send at us; we're going to put them all back in the ground where they belong and give them peace." Rex vows.

(WILL)

Rex is shocked when ring grafts itself to his finger, and he can only stare at it in shock for a moment. He remembers hundreds of times when, as a boy, he would ask his dad to show him how the ring works just one more time. Over the years, Rex had always wondered if he possessed the inner power, the courage and the fortitude to follow in his father's footsteps.

Now he has his answer.

"Yes, I accept." he says, as he is bathed in emerald light.

Like father, like son, Dad.

For almost his whole life Mark had been on the outside looking in. He had rarely ever been a part of anything major before the JSA. He had often been over looked which suited him just fine.

He understood now that it was because of his magic that had protected him. That is what he had learned from Nabu anyways. His magic made people not quite notice him until he was an adult and had felt like he could protect himself.

That was why Nic was not repelled by him Mark had guessed. Being on the edge of everything though had taught him to understand people. He really did feel for them too and cared in his own socially awkward way for them.

"They were his friends, you know," Mark said looking wistful. "His dearest friends. He misses them and mourns for the cycle that has not been broken."

What Rex says strikes true.

"You're right. I almost feel like I should call upon all the magic users. A conclave. Though I have a feeling magic won't solve this. In the darkness, we need to bring in the Light."

(COMPASSION)

Mark sees no other choice. Like he just said, in the darkness they need to bring in the light.

"I accept. There is no other path."

	Shortly after this, a Cindy of orange light comes out to find them. "You two okay? Nobody messing with you out here? Got Steven under watch. Nic's okay. Some stuff with rings happened, but nobody seems to be messing with us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, we're good. Are you okay?" Rex asks. She's his sister's girlfriend (he's still wrapping his brain around that) so her welfare is of importance to him. Wait a minute... "Hey, where did you get that ring?" Rex asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	littleladylord 2011-02-22 02:13 am UTC (link)
	"I'm fine. Just hungry. It just appeared and got on my finger. Nic's got a ring, too. Pinkish-violet. Looks gorgeous on her. I can be several of me right now, so I'm keeping an eye on her. And Steven. Nobody's messing with them." Obviously, this is very important. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know you're the best at this stuff, Doctor, but I want to be sure the zombies can't find a way to get their grubby hands here." She looks at them intently. "You should come in, though. I want you two to stay okay.... do you suddenly want to go to the North Pole?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mark can't help but crack a faint smile. "Go ahead and have them. I have lots of junk food. We need to decide what to do though. It almost feels as f we are being called." (Reply to this)(Parent)
