IN BRIGHTEST DAY - Mod Plot [LOG POST | 1 | THE RINGS CHOOSE]
Who| Everyone participating in the plot
What| Finding the lost Lanterns and getting Lantern rings
Where| The remains of the sentient, once-living planet Mogo, at the edge of the galaxy
When| After the network post
Warnings/Notes| N/A for now.
Their little adventure took them to the edge of the galaxy. Towards the end, they couldn't even use the threshold gates anymore, due to star-weights and gravity wells crushing and constructing the way there. Instead, they had to rely on the stargate abilities of their ringwielding allies.
Their journey ended in a strange and beautiful nebula at the very edge of the galaxy, one that had swirling gases in blue and green and violet and indigo. There, they found a dead, broken planet, the remains of the being once named Mogo, with four ancient structures.
The Green Lantern Central Power Battery. The Central Power Battery of the Star Sapphires -- the violet Lanterns. The Blue Lantern Central Power Battery. The Indigo Tribe Central Power Battery.
And in piles and piles around these ancient sources of power...were rings. Countless rings in all four colors. All without owners.
"Who dares disturb the resting site of the Green Lantern Corps?" an ominous voice said from the shadows after they landed.
"We come in peace," called out Kid Quantum. "Several groups of ringwielders were pulled against their will into this universe from a time and place when the War of Light was still ongoing. Some of those ringwielders were from the red and yellow Lantern Corps. Those who wear rings of green, violet, blue, and indigo, want to stop them from reigniting the war in this universe. They want to capture the red and yellow Lanterns and take them back home to their universe and time."
"And who are you?" the man asked.
"Kid Quantum, of the Legion of Superheroes. The Legion protects the people of this galaxy, the citizens of the United Planets, and we offered our aid to these displaced Lanterns. We heard that remnants of the Corps that were allied against the Red and Yellow Lanterns possibly existed on the edges of the galaxy. We've come seeking your help."
"It does my heart glad to learn of you," the voice said slowly. "We wondered if anyone else had ever risen up to take our place. But we had to stay here, to guard the last remnants, to watch over the Power Batteries and the rings. To make sure they were never used again. With the various Corps gone, anyone seeking them would only have wanted to misuse them."
The man stepped out of the shadows and now he glowed with the light of his green ring.
"I am Sodam Yat." He gestured to two other glowing figures that joined him. One was just a teeny speck of light, as if the being was normally too small to be seen by the naked eye. This was because the Lantern was a benevolent, superintelligent smallpox virus. The other was a battered robot that used his ring's energy in replacement of some of his parts.
"This is Leezle Pon." The speck. "And Stel." The robot. "We're the last of the Green Lanterns."
He looked at the Lanterns the Legion had traveled with and was clearly overcome with emotion at seeing faces that were, for him, 1000 years gone.
"I never dreamed that this could happen." He inclined his head at them all. "It's wonderful to be able to welcome you home."

She could remember it all like it was yesterday.
"I'm not sure how he did it, but it wasn't... He wasn't in control of himself. He turned into this... Lizard, and went on a rampage. I had to stop him, you know? I couldn't just let him hurt anyone. So I stopped him, but I didn't actually know that it was Peter until it was too late."
He just wanted to be special.
"While I was busy doing talk shows, all Peter could think about was how he could be like me. And it got him killed. I got him killed."
no subject
Well, at least she'd found someone to unload on who could completely sympathize with that.
It didn't mean he was good at saying the right things, but there were a lot of things it would've been good to have someone around to say to him, when he was her age. So he couldn't not try.
"That's the thing, about what we do. We do things big. You put on the mask and go out there, and nothing you do is ever inconsequential. Our mistakes, our tragedies - we do those big, too." Loss of life. Major property damage. The end of the goddamned world, if some of them really screwed things up. It was so rare that a misstep was just oops, guess I'll be more careful next time. It was always more than that. "And we will have mistakes. Tragedies. There's not a cape I've met in my life who hasn't screwed something up and wished they could have a do-over."
Knowing that didn't make things better, really. But not being alone was worth something.
"Learning to deal with that is the roughest part of the learning curve, I think. I've crashed into a few asteroids, accidentally punched myself in the face with constructs - but that's the easy stuff."

And all she ended up doing for him was get him killed.
If she couldn't figure it out now, when trying to cope with losing one person, what the hell would she be doing with herself? With Spider-Gwen?
no subject
Way to be reassuring, Hal.
But he wasn't going to say anything he didn't mean because it sounded better. Their lives sucked. The things that happened sucked. And you felt the ripples of that every single day, no matter who you were or how much you'd done.
"But we get up, keep going, and try to do better. Because anyone who's not the type to do that - well, they don't last long, in this lifestyle." Some failed. Some cracked. Some just quit, and if they were happier for it, that was their call to make. "As long as I know I can still do something good, I won't let the bad I've done overshadow that. Doesn't mean I'll forget it, or that it'll stop eating at me. But even if you can't save everyone, there are still people out there you can save - if you're still willing to try to."
no subject
"I want to keep doing this. I owe it to myself, and to Peter. I want to make Spider-Woman someone worth looking up to." How many others out there actually looked up to her? Not just here, but back in her part of the multiverse?
"I can't be the one who ends up crashing and burning at this."

A lot a lot. A "how do even quantify" lot.

But what did she know?
no subject
Polite understatement.
"Too stubborn to quit, too stubborn to let someone else win, too stubborn to sit back and let something I'm ashamed of be the only thing I'm remembered for."

"Who I am," he said finally. "Not what I did."

"Thanks, then. For... all that, and talking to me about and stuff."

He wished he'd had some fuck-ups to look to, in his early career. Sinestro didn't count until he counted a little too much, and that wasn't really the same kind of fuck-up they were talking about.
