Light of an Ex Lantern

[James Knight]

Hal Jordan was somewhere that he had no clue where he was.  His ring was missing and had been replaced by a Gauntlet.  Oh that was right. The Durlans had impersonated the Green Lanterns and he'd had to fight Kilowog in order to give the Green Lanterns a fresh start.  An attempt was made by Hal to activate the communicator in his gauntlet to reach the Green Lantern Corps.  It didn't work.  Why didn't it work?  Worry began to shoot through him like a hot lance through butter.  There was nothing around but a Fountain.  A jerk named Omni had told him that he could make a lot with the power of Omnilium.  Now if this was right he should be able to make a device to get the gauntlet functional again.   "So I'm in a new place and cut off from all of the Green Lanterns.  Omnilium can apparently make anything I want,  and my gauntlet isn't working quite right..."     Hal held out his hand and Omnilium surrounded the gauntlet,  shrinking it until it fit him perfectly.  But he'd need more than this.   As his clothes had been burnt away when he was brought here,  Hal closed his eyes and took a deep breath,  imagining the perfect outfit. 



"Okay. Clothing is no longer a concern now.  It's time to find my way to some sort of civilization.  Perhaps there I could start to build up a new life. I do know this.  I'll need to learn how to use the power of this gauntlet I'm wearing to survive."
