Call to Arms
The headquarters of the YJLA

For a moment, all was quiet and dark in the headquarters of the YJLA.  Sophisticated monitoring equipment kept track of emergencies around the world and in near-space, all quietly humming away into the night.

The quiet was suddenly broken by a crackle of green light, briefly illuminating the entire meeting room in its verdant glow.  The glow subsided after a moment, coalescing into a single figure out a little blue man, the symbol of the Blue Lanterns glowing upon his chest.  His expression was far from unreadable; in fact, he looked rather worried, as though the weight of the universe was bearing down upon him.

There was little he liked about this.  He would have preferred to bring his Blue Lanterns into this, but without a Green to work with, their powers were limited.  And they could not work with the Green Lanterns on this.  Not until he had had time to persuade them that this course of action was the correct one.  They would act hastily.  And though they would not admit it, they would be acting from emotion.  Things rarely went well when his brothers acted upon their little understood emotions.

Instead, he reached out with the Green power that was still his birthright and rather unceremoniously brought each member of the Young Justice League to their headquarters.

The Manhunter tries to speak for a moment, but suddenly sputters and sparks, falling hard to the floor.

Holy shit! It was... um... Magic-Girl? Definitely not that Zatanna lady... but she was... saving... her?

There was still the one robot though. But something in Heather reacted, panic fueling these strange new powers, as crystal shards grew... inside the Manhunter, shredding it.

"...What... what the hell is going on?!"

Alina zaps the stunned Manhunter on the other side of the room, just to be on the safe side. The whole studio shakes with the side-effect.

"My bad," Alina says once everything stops shaking. Madre de Dios, her head aches. "I don't know all the details, but basically you're playing host to a chunk of pure emotion. The crystals make me think it's love, but I'm not an expert. I'm here to keep the evil robots and the Green Lanterns off you and get you somewhere safe. Kaotik, by the way, Young Justice League."

"...Oh," Heather began. Yeah. None of that made any sense. "I'm, ah, Heather."

She stared at her hand. "...I'm made out of crystal."

"So that's a new look for you?" Alina winces a bit. Waking up transformed can't be fun. "My sympathies. Look, Heather, I know this sucks for you right now, but we don't want to be here when Manhunter-central realizes that these bozos aren't carting your butt back to base. So what do you say we get out of here and somewhere safer?"

Heather looked down. "Yeah. New." The words were flat, devoid of emotion.

"...Okay, get me out of here. Beats having to explain the hole in my wall to the landlord."

Alina winces again. She really wishes she could think of something to say to Heather to make her feel better about her new situation, but her head's aching too badly to come up with anything beyond "it could be worse"; and no one ever needs to hear that.

"There might be something we can do to put it back together," she says, holding out a hand for Heather to take. "After the immediate situation is dealt with. Anything you want to grab before we go? Change of clothes, stuffed animal...?"

Yeah. Okay. So going with the super-hero was probably the best way not to get attacked by anymore robots and probably the best way to get the "Emotional Light?" out of her and get her life back to normal.

It had to be.

"I think I'll manage," Heather said, taking her hand.

Alina pulls her close and gets a firm grip on Heather's belt. "Sorry for the space-invasion, but hold on tight. This is going to be a bumpy ride."
