"That stupid third-eyed Douche bag should've just killed you off," you remark, using your Red Lantern ring to pound a Green Lantern corps member across the field.

"Why do they call you Guy Gardner? Is it your haircut?" you tease, watching him fly at you. You form a shield and face him head-on. You watch as you push back but stay on defense. With your other hand, you form a spike and slash his arm the second he gets distracted.

You throw another punch with a gauntlet. A giggle escapes your lips. "Done yet?" you add, pointing your ring at him threateningly. "Dame, I ain't even begun." he spits, crumbling to get up. "Yeah uh huh."

"And I thought the goths at Gotham University were hardcore." a voice says, you turn to see Blue Beetle. You two had fought before. "What if I burnt that 'University' to the ground?" you threaten, "schools out I guess." He responds, before jumping at you.

You block and throw an attack. He pulls himself up and begins to blast the area around you. "Stop going easy on me, bug!" you yell, throwing him into the ground. He groans as you kick him across the ground.

"Why even fight like that?" he speaks up. "I win don't I?" you remark, walking towards him as he crawls back. "You're- my age.. Why hurt people when you can do some good? There's still time for you." Blue Beetle explains, standing up.

"I know you," he adds. "More than you know." you groan and walk off. "Hey!" he calls, catching up to you. "Playing Stalker does not mean you know me Bug!" you scold. You grab your ring hand to stop it from attacking.

You were a red lantern holder. You were rage. All you felt was rage. You couldn't be having these thoughts.

"You can't control that thing can you?" he gasps, "you are in trouble!" he adds, going to touch you. "ENOUGH!" You yell, letting a blast of energy throw him away. "Enough..." you mutter under your breath.

You notice the Green Lantern's disappearance and sigh. You heard a grumbled scream behind you. And you knew they were here.
"Y/N! THAT WEED IS OFF AT HIS CORE!" Another Red Lantern screams. "Hey!" Blue Beetle intervenes, rubbing his head and standing up.

"Don't talk to her like that!" he adds. "I'LL KILL YOU BOTH! YOU LEFT A PUNY ROACH BEHIND YOU WHORE!" you watch the rage-filled zombie attack your friend.

"HANDS OFF!" You scream, slicing off his arm. Blue Beetle kicks him down, you form chains and keep him there. "YOU CAN'T KILL ME YOU BITCH! YOU CAN'T KILL ONE OF YOUR-" You form a spike and cut off his hand.

His ring's glow turns dull. You grab it, and port it into your own. You couldn't let them know you did this.
"I knew you could do it," Jaime says, holding his hand out. You gulp. "Forget everything that happened here," you demand.

"What?!"
"If they found out that you helped me-!" you begin before you hear a yell. You step back, "Come with me!" Jaime says, grabbing your hand. You flinch but follow along.

He leads you through the city until you reach the back of a building. "Okay. Wear this," he says, grabbing a hoodie from a perch and giving it to you. "Thanks," you say angrily but put it on. "Bug off!" he commands, you watch his costume dissipate and show a teen boy. You blush, to match your suit.

He grabs your hand again and leads you down the halls, until reaching his dorm room. You take off the hoodie the moment you realize you two were alone. "Is that blood?" he says, He grabs the hoodie and sees the stain.

"Move!" you urge, walking past him to the bathroom. "You're hurt! When did you get hurt?!" he asks, stepping in front of you. "Move or I'll make you move!" you scold. "No!" he rejects, "you're going to piss it off." "Move."

"Piss what off?"
You quickly slide off your ring, and hold it in your palm. "God, you must have a death wish." you curse. He watches your suit dissipate in a red glow. You now wore a silk and cloth scavenger outfit.

"Cool..." he says, blushing. "Does.. That ring control you?" he asks, watching you. "Stop asking questions please..." you say weakly, "hey, hey hey hey.." Jaime says softly, helping you into the tub. You sit on the ledge, "here." He pulls a lever and water rushes from the spout.

Your eyes slightly widen. "No tree? Or a river?" you question. "Just... Pipes I think," he says. "Earth's strange I guess..." you say. "Where were you hit?" he asks, getting out a kit from his medicine cabinet. You take off your shirt and cover your chest with the fabric.

He blushes and takes a gulp. "Okay...! I can- um patch it up!" he says, taking a closer look at your back. His face falls. "What happened..?" Jaime asks, tracing his finger along your scars. "Bad stuff. Just clean it so I can go," you say slowly.

"You can't go back! They'll hurt you!" Jaime frowns. "We're Rage, it's what we do," you complain. "You didn't have these before you joined did you?!" he argues, you stay strong with your point.

"I did." "That's why I joined," you stated, deeply. Even though you weren't facing him, you knew he was staring at you. You heard a slight click of his Scarab.

"What- happened to your wings?" he asks, tracing the scar. "Take a guess..." you say weakly. After a moment of what you assumed was his Scarab talking, he touched your scars again.

"I'm sorry.. I didn't know." Jaime says, "I'm Jaime." you perk up. "Before I joined the core I was called Y/n." you say, "I guess C3582 is easier." you added, "Not really. Why waste a name like that?"

He begins to bandage your back, "Tell me if it hurts." you nod blankly and let him finish. After he finished you put your top clothing back on. You pull the ring from your pocket. "Wait- come on you can't put that back on."

"I'm a Red Lantern. I have to." you say, "but is that what you really want??" Jaime asks, "I want to be mad." you slide the ring on. Flames engulf you, your suit now on. "C3582, Returning," you report to your ring. Jaime grabbed your wrist.

"You'll come back right?" you look at him.
"2 earth sunsets."
"Meet.. Here I guess." you look plan, blasting through the window. "Thank you... For nursing me Jaime." you fly off.
