Chapter 18
Alex was currently riding her motorcycle home from the DEO when she noticed something falling from the sky and it looked like it was heading right for her.
"What the hell?" Alex asked as she barely managed to swerve to avoid being hit by the object and even then, she had to ditch her bike and combat roll into a ditch to avoid any kind of collision.
"Damn it. It took me months to save up for that bike." Alex said, since she was unharmed, her bike wasn't so lucky, since while it was still in one piece, it was still pretty banged up.
"Hopefully Kara won't mind paying for its repairs." Alex said, since she hated to use her sister's wealth like that, it would be easier than having to pay for the repairs herself on her government salary.
However, before she could think anymore about that, her attention was drawn to a bright green light coming from the crater that had been caused by the object that had nearly knocked her off the road and she moved to get a closer look as she pulled out her gun and cautiously moved towards it and saw that it was a small cube.
"What the hell?" Alex asked as the cube seemed to dissolve itself the closer she got to it and by the time she reached it, she saw that it had vanished, leaving only a small green ring behind and before Alex could do anything, suddenly, the ring glowed a bright green, lifted up and flew right onto her left ring finger.
"What the?" Alex asked as the ring began speaking.
"Greetings human, designation Alex Danvers. I am a green lantern power ring. Created eons ago by the guardians of Oa and to seek out candidates who possess the qualities fit to join the Green Lantern Corp intergalactic peacekeeping force and you have been selected." The ring said and Alex couldn't believe it, since both Kara and J'onn had told her about the Green Lantern Corp after that other Lantern had that fight in National City and she couldn't believe that she'd been chosen to be a Lantern. This was a dream come true for her, since it was a chance for her to finally be able to feel like she might finally be able to shine as brightly as her sister.
"What do I do now?" Alex asked the ring, her gaze fixed upon it.
"Recite the oath of the Corp. Repeat after me. In brightest day." the ring said.
"In brightest day." Alex said.
"In blackest night." the ring said.
"In blackest night." Alex said.
"No evil shall escape my sight." the ring said.
"No evil shall escape my sight. To those who worship evil's might, beware my power, Green Lantern's light." Alex said, the remainder of the oath coming to her as if she'd always known them.
Suddenly, the ring began to glow brightly and suddenly, it began to generate a bright green uniform on her body, including a domino mask on her face. (See this chapter on Wattpad for an image of Alex's suit, since that would be easier than trying to describe it for me.)
"Whoa." Alex said as she looked down to see her new uniform and she couldn't believe that this was really happening to her. It was like her greatest wish had come true. To finally have power like her sister's, but was still her own in a way.
"Alex?" she heard her sister's voice asked and Alex turned to see her sister, dressed in her Supergirl suit.
"Hey sis. How do I look?" Alex asked with a smirk and Kara smiled.
"Like I'm looking at something that should've happened a long time ago. No one deserves to be a Green Lantern more than you." Kara said with a smile.
"You really mean that?" Alex asked, since it meant the world to her to know that her sister approved of this.
"I do. Alex, you've spent your whole life fighting to protect people who can't help themselves, especially me and no one has a stronger will than you. You've always been my hero and now you can be one to the world. We can be partners in the field." Kara said and Alex smiled.
"I'd love that." Alex said.
"I wouldn't get too comfortable yet ma'am." A new voice said and Kara's face soured when she saw the arrogant Green Lantern she'd met a few weeks ago land next to them, since in her opinion, her sister was far more worthy of being a Lantern than this hotshot.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Kara asked.
"Green Lantern Hal Jordan at your service ladies and you need to come with me." Hal said to Alex.
"Why?" Alex asked, but Kara realized what this was.
"She needs to face the Guardians of the Universe." Kara said and Hal nodded.
"The ring may have chosen her, but it's not officially hers until the Guardians sign off on it." Hal said.
"Wait, what?" Alex asked, confused.
"Consider this like a new job. You have an offer, but you still need to interview with the bosses. Getting the ring is only half the job. It's not official until the Guardians of the Universe, the leaders of the Green Lantern Corp and the ones who created all the power rings say it's yours." Hal said.
"Okay, I guess that makes a kind of sense." Alex said, looking at her sister with uncertainty, but Kara smiled at her.
"Go, I promise the Guardians have any problems with you, both Superman and I will fly to Oa to have a word with them and I bet J'onn will too. I'll tell the others and J'onn will be just as happy for you as I am. Since being a Green Lantern is a lot like being a DEO agent, tracking down hostile aliens, just on a much larger scale with a much wider jurisdiction." Kara said and Alex smiled at her sister.
"She likely won't be back for a few weeks, since even if the Guardians say yes, she'll need training and it's easier to teach the basics on Oa." Hal said and Kara nodded.
"It'll be worth it to have a fully trained Green Lantern on the team." Kara said.
"Okay then, beam me up Scottie." Alex said and both Kara and Hal rolled their eyes at that joke.
"Since I don't think you're ready to fly to Oa the direct route, we're going to take a different route." Hal said as he raised his ring and used it to create a spaceship around himself and Alex, which blasted off, heading for Oa.
Here's an image of Alex as Green Lantern, Jaime Alexander as Wonder Woman and just because we all need to see it, Jensen Ackles as Batman:
