Lantern spoke up.
"So this Darkseid isn't a band, but what? a destroyer of worlds?"
I nodded in confirmation.
Right now, we were inside a glowing green jet that Lantern had conjured up, heading toward Metropolis. For the last five minutes, I'd been explaining to him that Darkseid wasn't a band, but someone who could crush him effortlessly. Batman had taken the whole thing surprisingly well, he hadn't said a word the entire flight, just listened intently. Then, after a moment, he finally spoke:
"How do you know all of this?"
I stayed silent for a bit. Should I tell them the truth, that I wasn't even from this world? I figured I had to, or Batman would never trust me. Worse, he might start suspecting me of something, nah I'll just lie.
"It's… kind of complicated to explain," I finally said.
Lantern immediately shot back, "We're listening. It's not like we've arrived in Metropolis yet."
I smirked and began.
"Well… i can see into the future, i saw the future and.....it wasn't great.
Lantern laughed like I'd just told the dumbest joke he'd ever heard.
"Good one. But seriously, how do you actually know?"
I stayed silent, my face didn't even move, and Lantern realized that i wasn't joking.
"Wait..... seriously? you're not....joking? You saw....the future???
I nodded again
Lantern, surprisingly, seemed to take it all pretty well.
"I musg be pretty popular in the future right? Do I have… you know, some cute fangirls?"
This guy was unbelievable. Completely hopeless. I decided to crush his dreams.
"You're pretty popular, yeah. But cute fangirls? Nah. All the girls hate you. You're mostly popular with… femboys."
Lantern turned to look at me, and I swear I could see it in his eyes, first shock, then anger, then pure defeat. Whoever said eyes are windows to the soul wasn't lying.
"So… I'm only liked by… femboys…"
He looked like he was about to collapse. Meanwhile, Batman was still deep in thought.
Eventually, we arrived in Metropolis. Lantern landed us on the roof of some building.
Batman pulled out a device and said, "Superman's close. I'm tracking his flight path."
Lantern replied, "Pfft, what, with your own satellite?"
Batman turned to him, dead serious. Lantern realized he wasn't joking.
"That… was a joke. You seriously have a satellite?"
Wait a second… I'm loaded too, right? Why don't I have a satellite? Then again, what would I even do with one? Whatever.
Batman said, "He's almost here."
I could feel something approaching us at insane speed. I jumped back just in time to see nothing but a blue streak tearing through the city, obliterating buildings as it dragged some poor Parademon along with it. Honestly… I almost felt sorry for the thing.
Lantern stared at the blue blur.
"Who's gonna get to him fir—"
He didn't even finish before Batman's grappling hook fired, yanking him forward. I was already airborne, riding my stone glider. What, did you think I'd leave my buddy back in Gotham? Hell no. That thing was staying with me forever. I'd protect it with my life.
Lantern groaned behind us as he flew after us.
"Ugh. I'm starting to hate you guys."
We soon reached a LexCorp construction site, where the blue blur slammed into the ground with a thunderous crash. Then I saw the explosion.
When we got there, genius Lantern decided to trap me and Batman inside some kind of green box. I didn't fight it
,I let him do it.
You're probably wondering why.
Well… I don't exactly mind seeing Lantern get his ass handed to him by Superman. Maybe, just maybe, it'll finally shut him up. But honestly? Very unlikely.
"Stay here, I've got this. Nothing personal, you'd just get in the way. The plan is simple: Green Lantern kicks Superman's ass, and the crowds go wild," Lantern declared, strutting off into the building where Superman was.
One second later, Batman and I were treated to a spectacle of explosions, heat vision beams, bursts of green light… and, of course, the sweet sound of Lantern's groaning.
My instincts screamed at me. Without hesitation, I ignited my lightsaber and shattered Lantern's idiotic little prison. I freed Batman too. He eyed my lightsaber with interest, but I didn't have the luxury to think about it, I immediately leapt backward.
Batman followed suit just in time to see Lantern blasted out of the building at insane speed. He crashed into some poor vehicle, which promptly exploded.
"Eh, he'll live," I muttered.
Meanwhile, Batman grabbed the bomb… but then Superman came out of nowhere and slammed him into a wall at terrifying speed.
What the hell was this? This wasn't the Superman I knew. This guy was… an asshole.
Superman looked down at Batman and spoke.
"And what… can you do?"
Batman, unflinching, pulled out a bat-knife and sliced through the piece of his cape Superman had grabbed. He stepped back and tossed smoke bombs, trying to buy himself a moment.
Finally, I decided to join in.
Hovering above on my stone glider, I reached out with the Force, lifting everything I could find, beams, broken chunks of the building, debris, until a storm of metal and stone floated around me, ready to strike.
Superman switched to X-ray vision and appeared behind Batman.
"I can still see you," he said coldly.
Batman spun, firing his grappling hook, but Superman blurred forward, caught the line, and crushed it in his hand like paper.
That's when I spoke up.
"Hey, jackass! I thought Superman was supposed to protect the weak, not act like some arrogant, brainless thug!"
Superman's head tilted up toward me.
"And who are you supposed to be? His sidekick?"
He was about to say more, but I didn't let him.
With a flick of my wrist, the debris I'd gathered launched at him in a furious barrage. I knew it wouldn't actually hurt him, I wasn't stupid, but I just needed to distract him for a few precious seconds, seconds I'd use to prepare my trump card.
While Superman was buried under the wreckage, Batman regrouped with Lantern, who had somehow dragged himself back into the fight. Batman tore into him verbally, ordering him to stand down and let me handle this.
Superman's heat vision suddenly erupted from beneath the pile, vaporizing everything in its path. It struck my stone glider mid-air, shattering it into a thousand pieces.
I hit the ground, uninjured thanks to the Force… but I felt something break inside me as I stared at the shattered remains of my glider, my friend, my companion through this insane world. I promised I'd protect it… and now… it was gone.
All because of this brainless Kryptonian.
A deep, boiling rage surged through me.
"Don't worry, my friend. I'll avenge you," I whispered.
Superman emerged from the wreckage, eyes blazing red, flying straight for me. But Lantern intercepted him, conjuring a massive green hammer and slamming him into a building.
"Round two, asshole!" Lantern roared. Batman followed close behind.
But I didn't join them, not yet. I was focused, drawing the Force into every fiber of my body, shielding myself, numbing the pain I knew was coming. Once I felt fully reinforced, I saw it, a green sphere of energy streaking toward the city.
"Now it's my turn to show this bastard," I muttered.
I leapt onto one of the stones scattered around me, using it as a makeshift board. It felt wrong. I didn't want my old glider to think I was replacing it.
Rest easy, my friend. This isn't replacement. This is revenge.
(Author's note: Everyone, please put RIP in the comments for Aaron's rock glider.)
I shot forward at full speed through the ruins. Ahead of me, Batman stood firm, extending his arm, while Superman rocketed towards him and Lantern like a living missile.
At the last moment, I kicked off my stone platform and used the Force to crush myself downward with added gravity, turning my entire body into a human meteor.
I slammed into Superman's back, my elbow driving straight into his spine. The impact caught him completely off guard, sending him plummeting into the ground and leaving a massive crater in his wake.
I rose to my feet, breathing hard.
Batman spoke quickly.
"We don't have to keep fighting, I can calm him down."
I waved him off, eyes locked on the crater.
"No, Until he apologizes, I'm not stopping."

Guys let my boy cook
His lightsaber is useless so he's gonna do whatever he needs to make Superman apologize
And when i mean whatever i really mean whatever it takes
If any of you have questions I'll gladly answer them

No his trump card is something else.
Have a great day guys
