Everyone in the Watchtower holds their breath as Hana, who seemed awake, drops back to the floor in a heap. Midnight remains pinned to the side by some force.

Gasps are flying around the room as Hana begins slowly sitting up. Close to her, a small chest appears. "Of course..." Siren whispers, walking closer.

Hana's head slowly raises, before her hand pushes her black hair out of her face. "What happened?" She mumbles.

"It worked. I have managed to return their memories. You will be in charge of getting back the memories of your twelve," Siren explains.

Hana finally opens her eyes. "I-I have a way..." she whispers, looking at Siren. Her eyes flicker over Karianna's shoulder to her somewhat audience.

Briefly, her eyes lock with Nightwing. A pang of sadness hits her when she sees the confused expression she knows he holds.

"Well, isn't that lovely?" A cold voice says.

Fear riddles her. Over Hana's skin, goosebumps appear as she shakes slightly. That voice; she had only ever heard in her dreams.

Hana jumps to her feet and faces Neridian. Midnight.

"You really are just the prettiest little thing, Sparkling One," Nerididan smirks, as she is released from whatever force had her pinned.

"Did you kill Wally?"

Midnight frowns. "Because I knew it was going to happen, you think I did it?"

"How else would you know?"

"I'm smart."

"You sure about that?"

The two girls face off. "If it's alright with you, Sparkling One," Midnight walks close. Hana tries not to flinch. Neridian reaches out and brushes some of Hana's hair from her forhead, before poking it. "I just want to go back to my room."

Hana glares at her, but seemingly agrees. "Have it your way," she says, "But, one more thing."

Suddenly, Hana steps back, and draws her fist back. She then drives it right into Neridian's left cheek. The girl spins upon impact and hits the floor.

Hana sighs and pushes her hair back again, before taking her knife from her boot. She cuts into her wrist, which has a bad effect on her audience.

"Thine who holds the dark of night

I am the key whom within shines bright

When uncontrolled evil is in sight

Together we form the Light of the Midnight."

When Hana finishes the phrase, she cuts her arm slightly, over where the gem had been implanted. Midnight's body disperses into a blue mist that floods into the injury.

Automatically, Hana's skin seals itself, containing the entity once more. Siren quickly unlocks the cell. Hana descends the short steps there slowly.

The moment she steps onto the floor; Beast Boy, Alley Cat, Bumblebee, Impulse and Swiftchick run over and hug her. Hana sighs comfortably and hugs Karen and Alice closely.

A loud beeping interrupts the moment. It emits from Hal's Green Lantern ring. He turns away and Head Guardian appears in holographic form.

"I wish to speak to the Emerald Star," he says. Hal frowns slightly, but turns around to face Hana. He walks towards her, holding his fist out.

Hana wants nothing more than to hug her mother's cousin, but she refrains and looks at the hologram, prepared for the punishment of letting the ring be destroyed.

"What has occurred, Miss Shiloh?"

"My entity escaped and destroyed my ring. She is once again, contained."

He frowns at her darkly. "The ring will be easily re-created. However, do not expect it to return to your possession." Hana's eye close tightly in irritation. She bows her head a sighs.

"Understood."

"No. I don't think it is."

"Let me talk to her," a feminine voice says. Head Guardian disappears, prompting Second Head Guardian to show. Hana nods to her.

"The only way for a Teal Heart to escape being only that, is to die, or for their ring to be destroyed. You see Miss Shiloh; we are not upset. In the past eleven years, you have done more than your mother ever could have. This is why, the ring being destroyed, has opened an opportunity."

Hana frowns, before feeling a pull from the other side of the Watchtower. She turns around, staring through the glass.

"Oh...my...Disney."

A Green Lantern ring speeds through the artificial atmosphere. Hana raises her hand to receive it. The ring clasps onto her and begins changing her uniform.

It starts at her shoes in a green glow; green leather boots. They rise up to her thighs, where a black, sleeveless and legless leotard forms over her torso and chest.

Last is a green leather mini blazer, with the green lantern ring sign over both front sides. Last, a black mask is placed over her eyes.

When Hana is finished adapting to her ring, she lands back on the floor of the Watchtower.

"Wow," she breathes.

"A fourth Green Lantern for Earth," Superman says. Hana smirks.

"No," she says, holding her arms out, before balling her hands up into fists. "I like the sound of, as a wise Speedster once said; Girl Lantern."

~Hana's POV~

"So this is a Memory Chest?"

"Yes. The sentimental residue memories leave behind," Siren explains.

Only the Team, Batman, Fate, both Green Lanterns and Black Canary remain in the tower.

"What do I do?"

Siren takes my hands and places them over the chest, palms facing up. "Who was the twelfth most important person again?" She asks. I look away.

"Wally," I answer quietly, making everyone go silent for a moment. Siren squeezes her eyes shut, probably remorseful of the question. "B-But M'gann was eleven."

Siren beckons the Martian over. M'gann complies and kneels down on the other side of the chest, facing me. Kari takes her hands and places her palms on mine.

"Alright. I'm assuming the Mother took you to your psyche?"

"Yes. The sanctuary that I built in Mount Justice."

"Good. There should have been memorabilia there."

I nod, remembering the floating items that related to everyone.

"Good. What was there for M'gann?"

I close my eyes tightly, trying to recall. "A cookie. M'gann taught me how to make them. A recipe...from Hello Megan!."

"Good...now, do they bring up a certain memory?"

They did. I believe I was sixteen. I had a mission on Mars and decided to bring Superboy, Robin, Miss M and Destiny.

"It does."

"Tell her."

I sigh and begin telling the story.

"Going back to Mars upset you. The green brought a lot of taunting your way. Of course, Conner and I made most of them regret that. It still got to you. You were on top of that tower in the middle of the city. You were crying. I went to you, to comfort you I guess. You started saying that maybe you should swap places with someone green; that maybe, you weren't deserving of being on Earth because you were white. I took you to the bioship. We watched Hello Megan! and baked cookies. I tried to keep reminding you of everything. I even mention that-"

"-You knew one of my sister and defended her against the green!" My eyes snap up to her when she says that. Before either of us can rejoice, a small opening in the chest opens.

A cookie emerges. "Grab it. Both of you," Siren instructs. I grab one side, M'gann grabs the other. I feel a tingling sensation my head and chest, when a blue energy starts travelling down the arm holding the cookie.

It reaches M'gann and spreads over her. Her eyes glow blue. In my head, different moments with her rush past my eyes.

"Hana..." she whispers. The energy suddenly becomes unstable and convulses, sending me flying backwards into the wall.
