[b]Days later, Coast City...[/b]

Toby Garrison was always a good kid. Always kept to himself, made decent enough grades, never really bothered anyone. But this year in high school the 17 year old was picked on a little too much. Not by his classmates, rather an uptight teacher who openly mocked Toby's hairstyle and clothing. The young man never had a problem with any student really in his life, having grown up with most of them. However they all laughed along with the teacher. It began in Mr. Flemming's biology class, then it extended to the hallways mid semester, the cafeteria and the parking lot followed soon after the beginning of the second semester. 

"He's going to pay..." Toby said with pure hate in his eyes and a blade in his hand, while blood soaked the inside of his long sleeved undershirt. 

[b]Later, at Young Justice HQ...[/b]

Alarms blared. What was left of the dwindling ranks of the team met in the Monitor Room. Ditto stood with the Question, Supergirl, Armory, Hellfire, Cassandra, Miss Mountain, Starbolt, and Frostbite. Ditto pulled up news feed from Coast City. Formerly the hometown of Green Lantern Hal Jordan [who's now retired], it seemed Reagan High School was under attack by an angry teenager who was wielding a Red Lantern power ring and spitting up a blood like substance that was more like acid and napalm. The newscaster struggled to keep a live feed but eventually the news shot back to the anchorman and woman on Channel 4 News. 

[color=dodgerblue]"Kendra's dreams are coming true. The red ring she had visions about was this Red Lantern ring that somehow reactivated and landed on the finger of this kid in Coast City..."[/color] Ditto plainly stated.

"So what's the plan, boss?" Supergirl asked.

Kilian Darukk rolled his eyes, the new girl had no idea what the word meant on his home planet of Cargg and why the others on the team refrained from calling him as such.

[color=dodgerblue]"Reports are estimating at least three to four dozen injured or dead. We have to hit hard and fast, contain the enemy, and eliminate that ring. I wish Phil was still around to teleport the thing into limbo..."[/color] Ditto instructed and informed while mumbling the last bit about his former teammate who possessed the helmet of Fate. 

The team headed towards the teleporter room and within minutes were front and center just outside of Reagan High with police barricades, worried and confused parents, and the media. The authorities recognized the team of young heroes were more than capable of handling the situation and gave them all the room they needed pushing back the barricade lines for civilian safety. 

[color=red]"What's that you said about my hair that one day in the library, Shawn? I bet my hair's the LAST thing on your mind now!"[/color] the teen screamed sporting Red Lantern colors on more civilian attire, while also vomiting the hot liquid energy of the red ring from his mouth all over the football player burning him away like lava.

Suddenly, the teen Red Lantern heard something coming up from behind him...

[b]Somewhere in space...[/b]

[b][color=lime]"The United Planets are paying us to make sure that thing gets destroyed. Preferably [i]before[/i] some would-be world conqueror [i]actually becomes a world conqueror.[/i] Hob, set course for the Milky Way Galaxy..."[/color][/b] instructs the leader of the band of cosmic misfits with a green energy glowing near the center of his chest.
