[TXT] they took Mar'i away
It was a relief when the Guardians alerted Kyle to investigate activity in a distant corner of the sector. He moved on automatic - first, find Zee and tell her that he was heading off-planet. Zee was having lunch with her manager, so that was easy enough. That was simple and familiar and routine, which he took solace in because it seemed like everything else was currently up-ended in his life—
His home destroyed
The Guardians were acting weird - well, weirder than usual
Jenny…(if it wasn’t for her busy with Justice League business, he’d have been tempted to ask Jenny to come along with him right now)
He messed up royally with two people he considered close friends.
The latter was most recently weighing on his mind, when the Guardians issued the Green Lantern orders. And Kyle obeyed. He had to admit, sometimes it was kinda nice to just be told what to do by All-Powerful, All-Knowing Beings. No thinking, just doing.
And thankfully the mission was monotonous and process-heavy. Kyle didn’t mind. He was being productive, and he was alone. Christ, Kyle hadn’t even told Zee what he did to Roy and Mar’i. He figured she’d try to be understanding; and Kyle knew his actions didn’t warrant that.
So it was six hours of rote busywork until Kyle headed home. Cresting over the moon, he slowed as his ring detected an anomaly orbiting over the Earth; but he couldn’t see anything. Kyle constructed anti-cloaking radar goggles over his crabmask, scanning until he spotted a sleek space ship. It was a craft built for travel and not much else. Tamaranean design, his ring coolly informed him; and Kyle could make out a militaristic crest imprinted on the back. For some reason Kyle’s first thought was of Koriand’r, not Mar’i. But then a trio of light-blips shot out from Earth - San Francisco, his ring coolly responded (cripes, even his ring seemed disappointed with him) - and the blips headed into the ship itself. Transport beams. Reacting on instinct, Kyle flew towards the space craft; but the ship ignored the Lantern as it gracefully turned and set a course away from Earth. Before he could construct anything or even hail the Tamarans, it hit lightspeed and disappeared from the galaxy. Kyle stopped short, hovering in confusion. Why would a Tamaranean ship come all the way to this sector, only to disappear moments later?
That was when he got Roy’s text.
Reading it, Kyle felt his heart flip. He messaged back.
[Ring Txt] I saw the ship. Oh jesus, Roy.
[Ring Txt] I’ll find out what’s going on.
