"Can I ask you something?" Twilight begins, looking up at her mentor. Karianna stares at her vanity, watching herself in the mirror as she applies her makeup.

"You can, though whether or not I answer depends on the question," she replies. Valentine nods and takes a deep, nervous breath.

"Why do you always wear that necklace?"

Siren stops, completely still. The gold choker with a ruby embedded in it glistened in her reflection.

"I suppose it is time I told you..." She trails off, before continuing her makeup. "I trust you know how the Helmet of Fate works?"

"Of course."

"This is called the Gem of the Siren. It's sort of the same. Siren lives in this jewellery. I live in this jewellery."

Valentine looks up at her with a small amount of fear. "So then... your body isn't... yours?"

Karianna stops, placing her brush down. When she looks at her protege, she is grinning.

"Doesn't that just...terrify you?"

"W-Wait then whose body is it?" The white-haired girl panics, standing up and scrambling backwards towards the door.

"A friend of mine; lovely. But I don't understand your protesting. You all love Doctor Fate, and he stole the body of a known hero. This body was offered to me. A suicidal friend whom I did not want to die."

Nevertheless, Valentine portals herself out of there and into the warehouse.

~Hana~

I am woken up by a loud beeping that travels around the hotel room like a siren.

"What is that?" I hear Dick say from beneath me. I sigh heavily when I recognise the beeping as my ring.

Oh yeah. Duty calls.

"It's my ring. I was meant to meet the new Emerald Star at Oa an hour ago," I groan, pushing myself off of his chest.

Of course, despite the fact that I am Girl Lantern with impeccable fighting and agility skill... I fall straight onto the floor.

"Ow," I whine, sitting up. I hear Dick laugh, before he turns over.

"Will you be long?"

"A few hours. Duty calls, you know," I say, getting dressed.

"Okay; I'll be back in Gotham before you get back."

After slipping my ring on, I jump over to the bed and kiss him. "I love teaching new rookies. Some guy, but he must be good, since the ring chose him."

"A guy?" He mumbles as I near the window. I turn around to look at him.

"Yeah, no big deal," I say mindlessly as I stand on the sill. "I love you," I grin at him, before jumping out and flying up in the sky.

With my Green Lantern ring, I have much more protection from space. I form a spaceship out of the mana, before flying off to Oa.

It doesn't take that long, but when I get there, I am faced with anything but a warm welcome. Head Guardian is staring at me with a stern face.

"You are late."

"My apologies," I say with a bow.

"Your reason?"

"An interpersonal...distraction," I trail off.

He stares at me seriously for a while. "The boy."

"Ha...What? No, of course not..." I squeak. He sighs and turns, hovering towards the infirmary areas. I follow him by flight.

"The new Emerald Star's name is Lovis, from the planet Nalborn. He seems genuinely dedicated, though has a tendency to assume he knows what we are about to say."

I assume that's his way of saying 'he's a know-it-all'.

"So far he has refused to listen." Guardian stops at the door to one of the rooms. He looks at me seriously, before a calmer look takes his expression. "Good luck."

As he hovers his ass away, it occurs to me that he is mocking me. Oh well, I'll get this kid into top shape and show him.

I open the door, to see a nice looking Nalborn kid sitting on the bed, inspecting the Emerald Star ring carefully with a grin.

Nalborn are humanoid creatures. Their only noticeable difference is they have blue and white skin with spikes on their forearms.

He'd make quite the handsome human.

"Pretty, isn't it?" I ask, closing the door. Lovis is pulled from his trance. He looks up at me with a grin and stands up.

"I'm Green Lantern Hanabrie Shiloh, also known as Girl Lantern," I say with a smile.

"An honour to meet you," He says, holding his hand out. Not exactly a well known gesture, but okay.

I reach out and shake his hand. When I try to let go, he bends down and kisses my hand. No, no; not happening.

"Thank you for that...kind gesture. Please do not do it again," I say politely, stepping away. Instead of looking disheartened or anything, he grins.

"Before you, I was the Emerald Star. There are minimal responsibilities in comparison to life as a Green Lantern. When I have missions for Oa, I will call to you and you will accompany me. Eventually you may be sent out on your own," I explain as he jogs to keep up with my walking.

He had hoped that they were just friends, or that it was 'just a date'. As far as he knew, holding hands was just something juvenile.

But this. This was in no way 'just holding hands'. The two left the cinema at night. He watched the from the rooftops; the boy, with his arm around her waist tightly; she, keeping him close as well.

Daphne looked so happy with this guy. The way they stared at each other, the way they kissed, the way they smiled...it made him angry.

Not wanting to break his own heart, but being curious beyond comprehension, he follows them through Gotham.

A black, shiny car pulls up at the end of the street. He smiles, knowing who is driving.

Daphne and the Hispanic boy get into the car. When it drives away, he does not rush to follow it, knowing exactly where it was going.

After about half an hour, he stood outside of Wayne Manor. Knowing its tricks and secrets, he easily sidled up to the west wall, standing underneath her window on the third floor.

Using his quietest grappling gun, he fires it at the roof, pulling himself up to stand on the ledge just beneath her window.

The horror.

Her room is much more different than he remembers. There are more things in it, it looks smaller; but he barely takes notice.

Already the guy is shirtless. Daphne, his Daphne has him pinned against the wall, smiling at their occasional kisses and undressing.

He wants to rip his heart out.

Just when he thinks of killing the boy and kidnapping her, they are both on her bed. She laughs as he kisses her neck, tugging at her jeans with a smirk.

Not wanting to see where it was going, he steps away from the ledge, landing on the ground, her laugh echoing in his ears as jealousy burns within him.

With a last glance at the house from the shadows, he turns around, only to be smacked in the face with a large green hammer.

"Intruder west well of the manor!" A feminine voice yells. When he looks up, Girl Lantern is hovering above him.

"Hana," he says simply, recognising her right away. She looks taken aback by shock, allowing him to throw both a smoke grenade and a normal grenade.

As the two go off, he makes his escape.

He is sure he can make Daphne Wayne fall in love with him, again.
