Seeing Yellow

Green Lantern:

"Incoming," the stranger says, elbowing me in the back.

"What," I yell, trying to maintain my focus as the three yellow lanterns simultaneously fire at us. I manage to summon a bubble in time to protect us but with the three yellow lanterns, cracks are starting to show. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"Well, you're about to have a little more on your plate. Superman is waking up."

"What!"

I turn around to see Superman push himself up from the ground. He stumbles for a bit before shaking his head and standing back up. As he raises his head, I can see the red gathering in his eyes.

"I really hope your ring is fully charged," the stranger says, Superman unleashing his laser beams. The dark-red beams hit the bubble and within seconds, break right through it.

My entire bubble shatters before my eyes, and I am hit with a yellow beam. I scream as the beam knocks me away from the others.

"Hal Jordan," a familiar voice says, his yellow lantern glowing particularly bright. "Am I glad to see you?"

"Sinestro," I say, slamming my ring into the ground and pushing myself up. "Am I sorry to see you? Still one of Superman's lackeys I see."

"Better a lackey than a dead man," Sinestro replies, aiming his ring at me. "And better to be on the winning side of a war."

Pulling back his hand until it's behind his head, Sinestro summons an ax and toss it at me. I summon an anvil to block the ax, the ax getting stuck in the side. Running for a bit, I jump and fly under the anvil, before flying behind Sinestro.

"Surprise, surprise," I say, punching the ugly bastard in his face.

Superman:

"We got them," Green Arrow says, running and sliding under a yellow beam. While sliding, he pulls an arrow from his quiver and loads it into his bow. Even before the yellow lantern can fire again, Green Arrow hits him with a net arrow. Meanwhile, Black Canary is screaming at the other yellow lantern, the yellow lantern screaming and covering his ears.

"Forget them," I say, looking at Kara. "I need to focus on my family."

I jump into the air and fly toward my cousin. However, before I can reach her, someone tackles me from the side and tosses me into the doors. The doors breaking right off their hinges, I get up and look to see the damn man in sunglasses. He is standing between me and my cousin.

"I am going to kill you," I say, bringing up my yellow ring. "I am going to kill you!"

I fire both my ring and my laser vision at the man. He back-flips out of the way, dodging my beams. As he lands on one arm, he reaches into his jacket and tosses a throwing knife at me.

I catch the knife in my hand and crush it.

Kara:

"Kara," The says, jumping and rolling to the side as Kal-El fires. Tossing more daggers while rolling, he stops and looks at me. "Kara, I'm okay here. Help Oliver and Dinah."

"You can't handle Kal-El by yourself," I say, stepping forward but The stops me.

"No," he screams, throwing more daggers at Kal-El but Kal-El catching every single one. "They need your help more than I do. Remember Gotham? They were more than just two."

I instantly realize what The is saying and look at him as he looks at me.

"Got it," I say, "Take care."

"I will," The nods.

I turn around and fly back to Oliver and Dinah. Just as The predicted, they are hiding behind a wall as more yellow lanterns start to enter the room.

"Leave them alone," I yell, punching one yellow lantern into a wall, the yellow lantern falling after slamming into it. The other yellow lanterns see me, they all fire at me.

I cross my arms and fly against the attacks.

Green Lantern:

Our swords sparking as they hit each other, Sinestro and I slam our heads together.

"I can see your fear," Sinestro says, a second yellow sword appearing in his hand. As he swings it, I summon forth a second green sword to block it. Stuck in a stalemate, neither of us can move.

"I can see your fear," Sinestro says again. "It's all in your eyes. You and your meager resistance cannot defeat us. You tried three months ago and failed."

One of my swords flashing, Sinestro pushes further, the tip of his sword pressing against my neck.

"You failed and what happened? Superman and his regimes, myself included, take over. We ensure peace. We protected the people. We protected the people against the villains. Such as yourself."

Now, my main sword starts to fade, and Sinestro's blade is getting closer to my eyes.

"You are a hero no longer Hal Jordan. You and I have switch positions. I am the hero, and you are the villain."

Both my swords disappearing, I scream as Sinestro stabs me in the shoulder before kicking me back into the wall.

Green Arrow:

"Hal," I say, seeing Sinestro kick the guy against the wall and fall down. Moaning as he holds his arm, he aims his ring as Sinestro as the son of a bitch approaches him, swords in his hands. However, nothing is forming. Nothing is happening.

"Hal's ring is dead," I say, "I'm going to him."

"We got you cover," Dinah yells. "Go!"

"Thank babe," I reply, pulling back my bowstring as I charge toward Sinestro. "Hey Purple Ears!"

Sinestro looks up just in time for me to let go of the bowstring and sent flying his way a net arrow. The net wraps around Sinestro, it stalls him long enough for me to get down and help Hal.

"Hal? Hey Hal, you okay? Come on man, say something."

"Need to," he moans, "Recharge my ring."

"Yeah, well, I kind of figure that. Unfortunately, despite all my green, I don't have a green lantern battery. Where's your?"

Before Hal can answer, I hear Sinestro and turn around to see him cut through my net.

"Wait, tell me later."

I pull out some more arrows and load them into my bow.

"Green Arrow," Sinestro starts, hovering toward me. "You cannot beat me with your pathetic, primal weapon. Your bow is nothing compared to my ring."

"Shouldn't be too hasty there? My bow may be primal, but my moves are nothing than advance enough to kick your yellow ass."

"We should see about that."

"Yes, we should."

The:

Superman pulls his arm and fires a yellow lantern beam heading right for me. Spinning and sliding out of the way, I pull out kunais after kunais and toss them at him. However, as soon as they get near him, they fall to the ground.

"Who are you," Superman asks, "Where did you come from?"

Raising his ring, he then slams it down, a second beam appearing and following after. Like a tree that had just been cut down, the beam slams into the floor and starts to crush it. Cracks are forming, the cracks coming my way. I watch as the yellow beam gets closer and closer to me before cartwheeling out of the way.

"When I catch you," Superman goes on, "I will make you tell me everything."

"Yeah," I reply. "I'll pass. I really don't like to talk about myself. It's very uncomfortable for me."

Hearing something from behind me, I turn around to see more yellow lanterns flood into the room.

"Shoot," I think, "Even Kara is going to have a hard time taking on all these yellow lanterns. Time to go."

Hearing something else from behind me, I duck in time to dodge a swing from Superman. As he swings a hard right hook, I pull a gas canister from my pocket and toss it at the ground.

The canister exploding, it unleashes a thick cloud of smoke that blankets the whole room.

"Even you can't see through this," I say to Superman before running to gather the others. I reach Kara first, grabbing her arm.

"Easy there," I say, catching her fist in my hand. "Friendly."

"Seriously," Kara says, "This again?"

"Yes, this again. Your cousin also had X-ray vision. If it was regular smoke, both he and you can see right through it. That's why I had to modify it. Follow me."

Kara and I run through the smoke, and quickly find the others; Black Canary, Hal Jordan, and even Oliver Queen.

"Hey," Queenie says, standing on top of a down Sinestro. "I was winning."

"Not bad Robin Hood," I say, examining his handy work. "But as much as I hate to interrupt, we need to leave. Everyone stands back."

I pull a teleporter out from my pocket and set it on the ground. Activating it, a portal opens, and everyone jumps in. However, before I jump through, I take a quick picture.
