Wake-Up Call
Henry sits in a corner of the apartment, focusing with his father's ring. He wants to find his father. He wants to find his father.

He refuses to let his desire he's had his whole life, this desire for a green ring, interfere any further. He needs to find his father. He has to.

The ring glows, casting the room in soft green light, but Henry makes certain it won't interrupt any of his sleeping companions.

He wants to find his father. He wants to find his father. He wants to... keep this ring.

Damn it.

He lets out a tired sigh.

That's when the wall explodes inward, sending shards of rubble in all directions.

"Children," Mongul calls. "It's time to go."

He picked it up a moment too late to save the wall - Mongul moves fast, but Ty moves even faster. Within an instant, he's there, and in the way faster than the eye can follow, firing a blast of yellow from a ring that's appeared on his hand, while purple flames ring the other hand.

"And you would be Mongul, I presume?"

Cait stormed out of the bathroom with a trail of water following behind her. "What the...." she froze when she saw the missing wall and the thing standing in the gaping hole. She gathered the water around her and waited.

"DAMN!" Lian screams from the kitchen, grabbing her bow from where she leaned it against the counter. Less than a second later she's in the doorway of the kitchen, and lets out a more-colorful comment as she sees the tight quarters and who is attacking. The arrow she has notched might be able to put this guy on his butt, but not without taking out-

"Green Lantern! When I fire, lock him in a shield!"

Without waiting for an answer, Speedy adjusts the time delay on the arrow with a twitch of it's fletching, and fires at the thickest of Mongul's clothing.

If she's right it'll penetrate and hold for 1.5 seconds until detonation, and if she's lucky, Henry will have the shield up by then and they won't all die in the blast.

Mongul feels the blast from the yellow ring, but ignores it as he slams Cerdian face-first into a wall, removing the one who teleported them all away before.

He grunts as the arrow hits him in the chest.

"Is this the best you can do?" he asks.

Then the green shield comes up around him, and the arrow explodes.

"Ty's got a Sinestro Corps ring!" Henry spits, his face tightened in concentration as he keeps the explosion contained to Mongul.

As the explosion fades, Henry attempts to create spikes inside the shield and send them inward... but no. Mongul's yellow skin repels the attack.

And then the shield shatters as Mongul flexes his muscles.

Teddy's mist powers kept him from getting splattered, but he was also smart and kept the star rod right in his hands while he slept.

He sees that the shield shatters and blasts with the star rod, not afraid of making himself a target. With... hopefully... a second's warning, he can phase through it.

Cait launched a bubble of water at the thing attacking her friends. She wrapped it around his head and hoped the thing needed air to breathe.

So the yellow ring didn't do anything more than the green one. Good to know, and time to get serious.

"Cait, get back!" he calls, worried for his girlfriend's safety as he activates Zoom's powers, moving back into a blur as he flies at Mongul, a dozen different tactics running through his mind as he readies for impact at full strength, clearly he can't hold back any here, first real fight or not.

Moments later, they reappear in their home in Coast City.

Henry stares, still shocked that he managed to accomplish what he did.

"...uh..."

Suddenly the water was gone and Cait couldn't sense any water outside the moisture in the air.

"Wha...." She looked around. Where was Ty? "Where are we? TAKE US BACK! I CAN'T LEAVE TY!"

"I... tried to get everyone..."

But he knows he didn't.

Cerdian's missing, too.

Almost in slow motion, Teddy can see the hit coming, and in his mind's eyes, his skull is already painting the wall behind him.

Then they're somewhere else and he's rolling to the ground. Is he dead? He sits up and feels all his limbs to make sure they're there, then turns and looks at the group. His close call has left clean slashes beginning to run red across his face. Teddy zeroes in on Henry.

"YOU!" They're missing Cerdian and Ty. "Chickenshit, you left them!"

Lian gasps as she lands, trying to ignore the disorientation. As Teddy lunges she intercepts him, wrapping one arm around Teddy's neck and pulling the star rod out of his hand with the other.

"If he hadn't, your brains would be sprayed all over Cait's apartment!" Lian snaps at Teddy, propelling him by the arm around his neck away from Henry. "And no one is getting left behind. We're going back. But if Mongul is using parademons and the Black freaking Mercy on people, it means we need to be ready to take on Apokalyps, too."

Lian throws the star rod back to Teddy, stepping forward to cup the side of his face and look at the cuts. As she grimaces in sympathy and pulls disinfectant from her utility belt, she looks at Henry.

"How many of us did you manage to get, Lantern?"

"I tried to get everyone..." he repeats. "I... must have screwed up." He looks around, panicking. "We... we need to get them back. I..."

"Green Lantern!" Speedy snaps, turning to look him in the eyes as she hold Teddy's face still. "You got as many of us as you could, and kept Star from being decapitated. You did good. Now I need you to keep that up, and give me a head count and a list of any injuries."

Lian goes back to treating Teddy's wounds. What they need is stitching, but what they get instead is a concoction that will numb the wounds as it seals them.

Lian starts rubbing it on with a cotton swab, biting her lip against her own fear. Two fights now, and all they've managed to accomplish is a trashed apartment, at least two of their own missing, and a bunch of kids nearly scared out of their wits and swinging weapons of mass destruction.

Cait was more pissed off than scared. Ty and Cerdian, the two people out of the whole group she knew the best, were probably in the hands of Mongul and they had been teleported out too soon.

The pipes in the building started rattling. "We have to go back."

Dinadan is sure that he's one giant bruise. Of course, one inch to the left and he'd have been crushed to death under a dictionary, so bruising is a much better option by far.

He's been calling his dad's friends for the better part of the last half an hour, getting more and more anxious the more he gets sent to voicemail. The place was a wreck, his dad had been kidnapped, who's he supposed to call besides the Justice League?!

By the time he gives up and starts calling his friends, he's pretty frantic.

"Come on, come on, pick up pickuppickup..." he mutters into the receiver as he listens to Henry's phone ringing.

Henry's already plugged his phone through his ring.

"Yeah?" he asks into the ring. "Din, you okay?"

"Henry!" Dinadan says, launching himself from a semi-fetal position to his feet. "I've been calling people since I woke up; I was beginning to think that I was the only one who didn't get kidnapped!"

"I thought you might have been grabbed!" Henry replies. "I'm here with a few more heroes and my dad's ring, and we've got a plan to get everyone back. You in?"

"I'm in," he replies almost before Henry's finished saying the words. What else is he going to do, stay here and panic by himself? He's already got his sword anyway. "Anyone who can teleport? I don't want to leave Tris here if I don't have to."

On his other shoulder, Tris squawks loudly what Dinadan would claim is agreement.

A grin crosses Henry's face as an idea occurs to him.

"Hang on." He sends the energies of his ring through the phone line, to Din's location. He finds Din's genetic structure and the parrot nearby, and grabs hold of them (along with his clothes, since he wouldn't want to pull Dinadan through naked). And then he pulls them back through the phone line, reforming them in front of him.

"Does that work?" he asks with a proud grin.

Tris squawks even louder and disappears in a thunder of wing beats to some high perch. Dinadan's eyes look like they're about to fall out of his head -- pretty impressive, since the one on the right is still swollen from the Battle of the Bookshelf.

"Some warning would have been nice," he says in a strangled voice. Henry's familiar grin is reassuring enough though that he manages to laugh and take a few deep breaths to calm back down to his previous level of not-shrill-at-all-thank-you anxiety.

"We're a little short on warnings today," Cait said. The pipes continued to rattle. "What's the plan and when do we leave?"
