Green Lantern: First Flight Page #2

Aw, honey, you're not gonna

slam Labella for a little moon ball.

I can't control all the shank

that gets in here.

- Take it.

- What?

A little incentive.

Maybe it will jog your memory.

Go ahead.

You're a bad boy, S-man.

What about Cuch?

I told you.

No.

One more.

Sinestro, come on.

- Where is he?

- I don't know.

Honey, I beg you.

Where's Cuch?

I don't know.

End this.

I know what I'm doing.

He always comes back to you after a job.

Please...

And he's here. He's close, isn't he?

Just tell me, Labella.

What do you mean? Where is she?

Labella!

Shoot.

I'm going up.

- It's a fragger!

- Aah!

Aah!

I got lucky.

Unh!

You defied me.

You could've killed her.

Let me tell you, friend.

The only way to operate out here

is by fear.

They hit, I hit harder.

They attack, I annihilate.

I am the one constant, unassailable force

against their chaos...

...and you made them forget that.

You think I enjoy this?

Look at the universe

the Guardians have created.

We have the greatest power in the cosmos

and what have they made us?

Garbage collectors!

We pick up the trash.

A thief here, a killer there.

Scum, dirt, filth!

There's no end to it,

but there could be.

It's my dream that one day

all this rot will be wiped away.

A new order will prevail,

one that will end the chaos...

...but it won't be built

by the faint of heart.

You got soft on me back there,

Earth boy, and that I will not tolerate.

Everything okay?

We heard there was a disturbance.

We're fine.

Hey, you got Cuchie.

Don't he look peaceful.

I'm taking him to the nearest substation.

I want everyone with me.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Swell.

Ugh.

Mind if I join you?

Might hurt your reputation.

Give them time.

You have to understand...

...Abin Sur, everyone loved him.

He had family, friends.

He was irreplaceable.

Any news on Cuch?

- They took him to interrogation.

- Who's asking the questions?

Who do you think?

- Ouch.

- I know. Sinestro can be difficult.

All right, he can be pretty damn arrogant.

Some of us are starting to worry about him,

but he's under a lot of pressure.

- Yeah, saving the universe or something.

- That's right.

Cuch is just a bit player.

The one we're really after

is his boss, Kanjar Ro.

He's just a warlord.

Not anymore.

- Not since he found the yellow element.

- Should I be taking notes?

This story goes back as far

as time itself...

...when the only sentient beings

were the Guardians.

They built the lantern battery...

...long before the creation

of the Corps.

The battery would power all the rings

with the green element...

...the greatest energy source

in the universe.

Where it comes from

only the Guardians know.

But once it was installed,

the Guardians had the ultimate weapon...

...to maintain peace and promote justice

in the galaxies.

Unfortunately, the battery

had one vulnerability, the color yellow.

It's one part of the light spectrum

that can resist the green...

...and the most concentrated source

of yellow energy...

...is the yellow element.

For eons, the Guardians had it hidden

underground in another dimension...

...until Kanjar Ro found out.

When the Guardians

discovered the theft...

...they called for an emergency meeting

with the senior Lanterns.

Abin Sur offered to go undercover.

Within days, he had infiltrated

Ro's ship...

...but there was no sign

of the yellow element.

Kanjar Ro had taken it somewhere.

Abin Sur was about to report back

to the Guardians when he was found out.

That's the way I heard it.

From there,

Abin Sur made his way to Earth.

- And now you're here.

- Jeez.

- You captured Cuch by yourself.

- He tell you that?

No. I was in your head.

Interesting.

As you know, Kanjar Ro

was forced to abandon his ship...

...after Abin Sur's escape.

Now he's on the move again.

I just found out from Cuch...

...that Ro and his men are meeting at

the Kadian Space Terminal at 1700 hours.

That's it? That's all you got?

Not that it isn't significant.

No. It's good to know.

Needed. Necessary even.

I want everyone back here

at 1600 hours.

We'll leave together.

Are there any questions?

If not, then...

Excuse me.

This is not the first time

we've had to reprimand you, Sinestro.

This cruelty is hardly the Guardian way.

He was resistant.

It made the process difficult.

- I did my best.

- We should have been called.

We might have been able

to use our telepathy to draw him out.

Time is running out.

And we're facing a foe

who is hell-bent on destroying us.

The Green Lantern Corps

is an ideal, Sinestro.

You don't save it

by ignoring what it stands for.

This must not happen to Kanjar Ro.

The moment he is captured,

he is to be brought to us.

We'll do the questioning.

Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

They will doom us all.

I'll need someone

to watch this outer perimeter. Ch'p?

I always get the stink jobs.

- Let the new guy do it.

- Whatever.

Fine. Let's go.

Don't trip over the luggage.

Attention, travelers.

We apologize

for this interruption in service.

The Green Lantern Corps has requested

a routine scan of the spaceport.

There is nothing to be concerned about.

Operations will resume momentarily.

That red-faced swine

wants to flush me out.

What should we do?

Leave.

The room. Get out.

I'll let you know when I'm done.

I am here.

Make yourself present.

Sinestro, I'm calling.

Make your presence known.

I'm here.

What kind of stunt

are you trying to pull?

You're a hard man to reach.

What do you want, a daily briefing?

It's dangerous to talk, even like this,

especially with Abin Sur dead.

Communication, Ro. It goes two ways.

I swear I'm not squeezing you out.

- Where's the yellow element?

- With the Weaponers.

The weapon is ready for pickup.

We don't have long.

- Where?

- I'm gonna tell you...

...surrounded by your pack dogs?

Don't try me, Ro.

I've put everything on the line for this:

the Corps, the future, my life.

I am not going

to be given the runaround.

Tell you what, we go to the Weaponers

together, just you and me.

You get rid of your boys,

I'll get rid of mine.

- Where are you?

- In a waiting room.

I'll meet you at Station

But if I see one

ring anywhere...

Just be there.

Tomar, we have a change of plans.

Come on. We're leaving.

But the rings...

Use your faders.

Jordan?

- Tell me you got him.

- Not yet. How are you doing?

So far I've seen 10 shooting stars,

one supernova and a baggage handler.

Tomar says Sinestro wants

to re-deploy most of us to the next port.

Get over to the south perimeter.

Tomar is meeting us there.

Uh-huh.

You okay?

Yeah. Something hit me.

Stay here.

Hold it, bug boy.

Aah!

Aah!

Jordan, where are you?

Got a little pest-control problem.

Where is Kanjar Ro?

Sinestro.

He's heading for the west gates.

Do whatever it takes.

I need him alive.

Rings!

- Nice move.

- Hm.

All right, one at a time.

What are you doing? Where's Ro?

- Sinestro, these people...
