Hal walked into the meeting office of the [url=https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/marvelmovies/images/f/fa/Bus7-AoS084.png/revision/latest?cb=20140510232939]large plane[/url] that was taking them to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ, saluting Agent May and Sinestro as they sat in a chair each, he saw Sinestro sat with 6 strange items on the table in front of them. Looking like old timey lanterns of each of the colours. [color=8dc73f]"So i'm gonna take a blind stab in the dark and assume that these are where our names come from. But i only see 6. Where's the..."[/color] He quickly counted them [color=8dc73f]"Purple one?"[/color]

[color=fff200]"That would be Indigo, Hal Jordan."[/color] Sinestro replied in his usual disappointed manner. [color=fff200]"But yes, you are correct, these are the Power Batteries that allow us to use our rings. Something that i have neglected to trust you with until now."[/color] He replied. Agent May then butted in to correct him.

[color=8882be]"Actually, It was only shortly before takeoff that we were able to recover the others from his craft."[/color] May said coldly. Sinestro didn't respond, simply continuing to stare at Jordan, but Hal could tell he didn't appreciate having his authority undermined by May.

[color=fff200]"The Indigo lantern does not have a battery. It has a staff that materializes when its champion is chosen. This may cause problems down the line."[/color] Sinestro continued as if May hadn't said anything.

[color=8dc73f]"Ok, so how do these work?"[/color] Hal asked, trying to change the subject. [color=8dc73f]"Because my ring hasn't been working for over a week."[/color] Sinestro got up and walked towards the yellow battery.

[color=fff200]"Your Ring is only half of the equation as, although it will be able to store a lot of energy, as well as storing it in your body, it is unable to properly refine pure emotion into energy. That is the Lanterns duty. The Lantern itself draws the emotion from the universe around it and then you may charge your ring using the battery, like so."[/color] Sinestro held his ring finger into the lanterns lense.

[color=fff200]"In blackest day, in brightest night!
Beware your fears made into light
Let those who try to stop what's right,
Be burned by power, The Golden Light!"[/color]

As he did so, the lantern and ring began to glow golden as Hal watched the battery charge the ring up. May and Hal both looked at each other and nodded as if in approval. Hal then walked towards the green one and put his hand into it.

[color=8dc73f]"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"[/color]

As he chanted, the reaction was much more fierce, probably because Hals ring was completely out of juice, Hal had to hold the battery itself as i felt like it was trying to draw him in. But as the process finished, the green and black suit once again appeared around Hal.

[color=fff200]"Congratulations, Hal Jordan, you have just taken your first step into a larger world."[/color] Sinestro said.

[color=8dc73f]"Alright, Obi-Wan, what's next?"[/color] Hal asked, Sinestro raised a questioning eyebrow.

[color=fff200]"My name is Sinestro and you will address me as such."[/color] He said, dryly.

[color=8dc73f]"It's just a figure of speech on this planet."[/color] Hal replied, trying to make sure that Sinestro wasn't completely offended. That being said, Hal really kinda wanted to offend this stuck up ass. As each mans eyes narrowed at each other, May got involved.

[color=8882be]"Our next move is to relax and get what rest we can before we reach S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ. 5 Rings between 2 lanterns will have us playing catch up initially. As soon as we have recovered 2 and given them to their proper users, we should gain the upper hand."[/color] She said. She then handed each of them a wallet. The men took the wallets and looked inside. In there was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Badge as well as ID with their faces on them. Sinestro stared coldly at May, clearly not appreciating that he had been photographed without his permission. Hal tapped him on the shoulder and showed him the photo on his card.

[color=8dc73f]"Hey, they got my bad side too."[/color] Hal smiled. Sinestro simply sat down again, Hal wasn't a mind reader, but he could tell that the thought going through Sinestro's head was [i][color=fff200]"I'm surrounded by idiots"[/color][/i] Hal sat down with the Green battery and looked it over. He could feel the raw power radiating off of it. Sitting there, looking into the green light, he could almost feel the universe at his fingertips. Every living being on this planet their hopes, their dreams, their will to survive thrive, to create to destroy, to-

[color=8882be]"Captain!"[/color] Hal snapped out of his trance and looked at May who was stood over him, Sinestro was no longer in the room and neither were the other batteries.

[color=8dc73f]"Yeah?"[/color] He asked, his throat suddenly really dry.

[color=8882be]"Buckle up, we're landing."[/color] Hal looked at the clock. 4 hours had passed. Hal shook his head and got up, before carrying the battery with him to his seat and sitting down before doing his seatbelt up.

[color=fff200]"Do not look too deeply into the Lantern, you may not like what you find."[/color] Sinestro said to him.

[color=8dc73f]"What the hell is that even supposed to mean?"[/color] Hal asked him. Sinestro simply looked out of the window in response. [color=8dc73f]"Cryptic ass..."[/color]
