Gold lantern

Lantern power

Fortis: "What does it mean to be lantern?"

Marcel: "To be able to make whatever they want or need."

Fortis: "Wrong (smacks head with ruler) being a lantern means that you must be focused and dedicated to your decisions."

Marcel: "What?"

Fortis: "Imagine you got a green lantern ring and you used it to make a giant wrecking ball that did take out the bad guy but also took out any and everyone around you, or how about making a wall of guns fire off at everything in front like there's no tomorrow... these are the things that your hero's face and so will you one day should you get lucky enough to find a way to become one."

Marcel: "But that would never happen! I'm just some random guy living in the streets of Gotham city for crying out loud. (Sulks into his chair) There's literally no way for me to be a hero."

Fortis: "What about Batman?"

Marcel: "He's different."

Fortis: "And how is that both of you have trained in fighting both of you know the importance of scouting out an area and both of you fight for justice."

Marcel: "(Scoffs) Yea right."

Fortis: "(Slams table) And why do you say that! Justice is all about fighting the bad guys and making sure Justice is served and while yes Batman does hand over criminals over to the GCPD are you telling me you never fought others because they did something bad to someone?"

Marcel: "(Shy and nervous) M-maybe once or twice."

Fortis just stares at Marcel for a long while still standing in the same position with both his hands on the table as far as he could stretch them while Marcel tries his best to look away whilst taking a couple quick glances back at Fortis for some reason.

Fortis: "You have no poker face you know that right?"

Marcel: "Wha?"

Fortis throws some files onto the table as Marcel looks into them and sees every single one of the crimes he had ever committed and I do mean every single one no matter how big or small it may have been every single one is reported in that file like it was made by Gotham Knights protector himself.

Marcel then slowly starts looking up thinking of every different face that Fortis might have been making behind the files but nothing he imagined could get him ready for seeing his teacher have glaring eyes whilst smiling like a creeper before he burst from laughter.

Marcel: "What's so funny!?"

Fortis: "The fact that you'd think I cared what you did before hand (face gets all serious) all I want to know is that you have the will no the drive to do what's right and make life better for those around you even if you never get the appreciation nor recognition for doing so."

Marcel: "What do-"

Fortis: "(Slams the table even harder to the point it collapsed) I need you to understand and not make up any excuse everything you learn from me is something that will save your life but most likely take another's. (Marcel tries to say something but Fortis stops him) You are not someone better for learning these things in fact you are lesser since you will now always have to try your hardest to never use your full strength as you may very well do something you'll regret."

Marcel: "What do you mean?"

Fortis: "While you may not see it every single one of the hero's you know of always hold back when their back to being normal people like you or me well more you than me but no matter what every single one of them hold back and only use all their power when they have to."

Marcel: "Yea well everyone knows that."

Fortis: "Yes but you are not them you're a snot nosed teenage kid who's been in more fights than any of them when they were the same age with very few exceptions while also being masters of actual arts that are used to defend themselves whilst what I teach you is only to inflect the most damage you can with the least mistakes possible."

Ghia'ta: "Um... are you sure this is the best way of educating him."

Per Lynn: "Better than the alternative."

Ghia'ta: "Yea but."

Per Lynn: "Even if there was we can't do anything other than hope you guide him."

Fortis then continues to try is hardest in explaining what it means to have power whilst Marcel gets somewhat terrified of his teacher thinking that he might hurt him if he doesn't do what he tells him but either way at the end it does leave an imprint in Marcel making him act a lot nicer to everyone and less volatile in fear of both his teacher and that whilst he does love a good fight he doesn't really want to kill someone that doesn't deserve it.

And once everything is finished Marcel then leaves the warehouse that is now his training ground with Fortis with Fortis being the only one who really knows were it is since every time they go there Fortis covers Marcel's eyes.

Anyway once Marcel leaves Fortis sits down before he throws the chair and starts breaking everything a little bit as a slight red glow starts emerging from him only for it to starts dissipating once Ghia'ta and Per Lynn touch him.

Fortis: "Thanks and I'm sorry for all of that but."

Per Lynn & Ghia'ta: "Its better than the alternative."

Fortis: "I mean yea the kid meets all the requirements to be the next Gold Lantern and besides if I can stop the man who starts the third world war from ever happening and is one of the most evil men in all of history then I think its safe to say its for the best."

Per Lynn: "But won't the butter fly effect make sure it happens again."

Fortis: "Don't know and I don't really think so since there's no way I'm the first person to time travel who's changed the entirety of the future and look at me I'm fine even after all the years of living."

Ghia'ta: "Yes but this time you're at the very center of the change."

-Meanwhile Marcel had just gotten jumped by a few street thugs. -

Thug 1: "So you think its all fun n games when you put some of our boys in the hospital (pulls out gun) well lets see how funny it is when I do the same thing to you."

Marcel: "Look I have absolutely no idea who it was that I bet up to make you do this but (grabs the guys gun and bash's his face with it, kicking a charging gang member in the face as he round house kicks the last guy whilst shooting a round in the air for all to hear) I think there all going to have some words for this little stunt you did (kicks him in the face knocking him out.)"

As he walks away he pulls his hoodie up while cops start driving up to the scene of the crime and when he looks back he clicks his tongue as he realized he was leaving a faint trail of blood on the ground helping put a spring in his step as he starts walking a little bit faster and only starts to run once he hears others notice.

Running into the one of the many nearby alleyways Marcel jumps onto the walls until he gets high enough to spring off the wall over the fence and onto a trash can to which he moves things around a bit to make it seem like he was hiding in it as he runs all the way home and changes outfits and most importantly shoes into something else albeit a tighter fit so as to not be a suspect more than he needed to be.

Only for it all to fail since he had touched to gun and his fingerprints were on the thing but he didn't get any jail time or anything since he somewhat defended himself and only used to gun to get people to call the police so they could rush to the scene and get the real criminals placed behind bars.

Meaning that Marcel had learned only one thing about crime that day and it was to be smarter when he does it by never having anything that could give himself away whilst only using things that would never be used except for those very instances and burn very easily so as to leave as little trace he was there as possible.

And that is all for now hope you all enjoyed and until next time stay safe and peace.
