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.

	"I'll be up for that. So, one team of us deputies here on Earth and the rest head skyward to take care of whatever the hells wrong with the rings? I take it we want one full rainbow here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Zach, having finished his global circuit already, arrives. Surrounding him are a handful of constructs of himself, Mia, and John Zatara.

"Is anyone else feeling amazing, or is it just me?" He grins from ear to ear, duplicates of himself filtering into the assembled crowd, while Mia stays at his side.

Clearly, the rings are affecting some deputies more than others. He's also clearly showing some strain. A few of the constructs fizzle out, although notably not the one of Mia.

	"They go," Iris gestured to the group that Rose had mentioned. "And we stay." She gestured to the rest of them. "Got it." There was something about the two guys in yellow that creeped her out. But she'd worry about that later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Rose looked at Mark and nodded. "That is correct," she said. "The rings are currently at half-power, so use them wisely. If you have other strengths, rely on them first, ring second. Once we've restored the rings to full power, then you will be able to use all of their abilities.

So if you could teleport us there magically, without using your ring, it would be a great help."

The outright disrespect from these people, including the son of his mother's despicable little project, was galling, but Damien held his tongue. He simply memorized their faces and their voices. One of these days, when this was all over and he was looking for something to do, perhaps he would simply have Reed put a bullet in their heads, or that of one of their family members.

And it would be especially entertaining because they wouldn't even know why it happened, or suspect that their disrespect today was the cause. Damien smiled at that, even as he stepped away from Henry.

"Do have a safe trip, Cousin Mine. I hope to see you return home in one piece." Damien says.

So that I may cut you into a thousand tiny ones. he finishes in his head.

"I'm ready to get this show on the road." Rex says, breathing deeply. For the first time...ever, he was going to get to see Oa. The place where his father had always gone to report for duty to the Green Lantern Corps. When he was a boy, Rex had always hoped that he and Dad would report there together, as members of the Corps.

If nothing else, maybe he could meet up with Mr. Jordan or Mr. Gardner and ask them if they'd heard anything new about his father. It was a long shot, but there was always hope.

	Having been mostly having a whispered conversation with his hallucination of Ryaner, which annoyingly followed him here, he snaps out. "Yes. Fine. I'll go into space." There's a pause. "Yeah. Yeah. I know. Happy?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't you worry cousin," Henry replied. He heard what the others were saying, but he lacked any sense of caring for their words. "I will return in more than one piece." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Late to answer the summons, but in time to hear the conversations around her, Zoe didn't agree or disagree with their decisions. It only mattered that she finally understood about the ring and what needed to be done. She was totally fine with violence. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Marcus of course knew exactly who Damian and Henry when he had made his comment and wasn’t scared of a reprisal at all to his words. He wasn’t going to bring up that information to anyone though there didn’t seem to be much point to it and he could use it later to get more rage for his ring if he needed it.

Marcus had no particular desire to go into outer space, he wanted to stay here and inflict some damage and rage upon those zombie bastards. Which was when the ring started to talk to him inside his head again.

It told him about how he was better than the others and that they needed someone who knew how to use their rage productively there to help and destroy and obliterate.

That sounded pretty good to him. He grinned and gave a nod to say he was fine with this.

"I agree with the Green Lantern. We do not have time to squabble. I need to focus on who is going. It can not be an instant transport, I am afraid. I can only do that on Earth. But I can 'jump' us to way-points, cutting the time down a great deal. Please. Those who are coming gather up, I must prepare a circle as to not loose anyone along the way."

His voice is actually very calm and soothing. He is using his librarian voice on them. But not at all in a condescending sort of way.

"It will not appear that we are spotting once I get the spell going." The helmet glows for a moment a bright gold then he chuckles.

"How silly of me. Never mind. According to Nabu I can get us there almost instantly. The spell just takes time to prepare, and it will drain me for a time. I will not be capable of my more impressive offensive spells after this. Not for a day and a night."

"For those of us remaining here on Earth," Damien says without preamble, "we need to consider the best way to use our resources." he says.

This rag-tag bunch of people will need someone to lead them and he doesn't see anyone else capable, so he will step forward.

"It is best that we know what everyone is capable of before we go further, in order to maximize our potential."

	"Cindy has just taken up general ownership of pretty much everything tangentially related to me. Which means that now that I'm talking to you, she owns you, too. I think. Anyway." Nic goes and stands by her brother, also close to Fate. Cindy will follow, of that there is no doubt. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Don't worry, for the people I know here, we have a good team."

Michael then turns to the earth-bound lanterns, acknowledging what the yellow guy (never did catch his name).

"All right. If what the ring is telling me is true, I'll be needed for the kill shot. Blues work bests with Greens and Indigos can channel Greens as well."

Michael thinks for a second.

"So, we have one that can make kill shots on these zombies, but they need to be near me. Any other color can combine with me. We'll have to stay close to make every shot count. Any ideas?"
