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.

	"Maybe a magic ring can figure out they're going to come to the Triangle? Is your throat all right?" Sliver has his stick over his shoulder as he walks along with her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"My throat is fine." Her voice sounded harsher than she intended, deeper somehow, as if it were channeled through the glow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sliver was asking questions Zoe didn't have answers for and that pissed her off as well. She reined it in with difficulty, clenching her hand into a fist. A small surge of power through ring ran up her arm and made her heart beat faster. I'm not sure.

She shook her head to clear the red haze. If this is a ring like Green Lantern's, I can put it to use here and clean up the Triangle. No one would guess a real lantern wasn't responsible.

	"Good point. But what if the lanterns know and come calling 'cause they made it for zombieslaying and not maiming every asshole in the triangle?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't see any zombies, do you? No zombies, no zombieslaying. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

//Go to the North Pole. Find the others.//

Zoe looked around to see if Sliver heard that, but the kid didn't react. She stopped to look at the ring on her hand. Rage boiled up and it was tamped back down more easily than she'd ever managed on her own. A sense of urgency filled her. The ring flashed.

She had to go. Had to find out what it meant and why it appeared. It suddenly seemed that life and death rested on finding out. Zombies in the world and other colors in the sky. Maybe it was just like Sliver said happened in the past.

"I need you to do something for me. Keep watch on Michelle Torres' law office for me until I get back." /If/ she managed to get back. "I'll pay you."

	Well, that was sudden. And she knew his lawyer? "I will. But keep the money; I have a day job and a trust fund. You worry about this mess; I'll make sure she's fine." (Reply to this)(Parent)
