Chapter 163: My Dormant Emotions II
.................
The universe was still in chaos even after the return of the green lanterns. After all, they suffered significantly, so some civilizations saw an opportunity.
The chaos of war also isn't so easy to calm as it is very infectious. The green lantern also needed to get back their own order first before spreading order throughout the universe.
They were still in the process of stabilizing themselves even a month after the war, and they started by choosing a new planet to settle in.
And so, they settled on a member of the green lantern, literally. Mogo, a sentient or "living" planet and member of the Green Lantern Corps.
It's a colossal planet, and one of the most important members of the green lantern to the point Mogo and the guardians decided to keep it mostly a secret from everyone else.
Now, however, they found themselves without a choice in the matter. They have to seek a home on it.
While all of that was happening, Earth was experiencing its own kind of chaos, like usual.
But that is not the focus because Ian was still not back on earth. He was still wandering the vast expanse of space, treating it like a vacation.
By this point though, he was left alone with Selina. Harley was still in the process of getting used to the rings in his dimension while Zatanna had to go back exactly because of the chaos on earth.
"Hahh," Ian let out a yawn as he got out of bed, "I'm starting to sleep too much." He doesn't need sleep at all, and over the last year, he got used to never going to sleep.
That however changed for the past month as he relaxed a bit too much, In his mind at least.
Others will look at him and treat him like a crazy person because of how many things he goes through that'd be considered self torture by almost anyone.
"Mmm, come back..." The reason for the wonderful relaxing month was the lazy cat who just spoke, cutely stretching in bed.
"Not today," Ian shook his head with a chuckle, "I have something to do. It will actually be quite an exquisite play, so you're welcome to watch."
Almost instantly, Selina leaped into Ian's embrace with her never changing lazy expression. She leaned her head over his shoulder, and cutely cooed, "Too lazy... Take me."
Ian was used to her behavior by this point, so with a resigned sigh, he went ahead and took a slow shower with her.
He then helped her dry herself up and put on some cozy clothes, just pajamas before she returned the favor.
It was a daily routine by this point, and Selina never fails to force him to go through it, almost like she wants to waste his time doing things he deems unnecessary.
But Ian understood and very much appreciated her actions. She just wants him to relax and have a good time.
She saw and knows how many hardships he went through to get to where he is from being a nobody. From a homeless to a being capable of destroying planets.
Just staying in the speed mode all the time is torture let alone the other things he goes through to get his answers.
Her feline physiology allowed her to sniff the blood and the wounds he tries to hide even when he does so with magic.
It was more so an illogical sixth sense by this point. Perhaps even she didn't notice, but her feline physiology was in constant evolution, all due to Ian's Death force.
He had some cozy time with Selina before going out. He left the Grey Rose, still adorned in a simple pajama with Selina.
Before them, or far away from them was a simple planet, not looking special at all.
But soon, what was special about it surfaced as three individuals flew from the planet until they hovered before Ian.
All three of them were adorned in a uniform, each with a different color and symbol. Three colors, Indigo, the light of compassion. Violet, the light of love. Blue, the light of hope.
Ian nodded at them but said nothing. They reciprocated his gesture before starting to fulfill the agreement.
They all unleashed a surge of energy of their respective emotion. They even overworked themselves with such output they were able to manifest a miracle.
What manifested around the three individuals were three entities. The entity of hope, Adara, a gorgeous creature seeming like an alien blue bird.
The entity of compassion, Proselyte, seeming like a mutant indigo squid.
The entity of Love, the predator, a violet Dragonic creature, minus wings. It seemed mostly constructed of bones or an exoskeleton of sorts.
The three entities instantly started pouring all of their energy into Ian, specifically his staff, and he accepted it all with open arms. He basked in the universe's overwhelming emotions just to learn about his.
Everything went perfectly without as much as a single sign of trouble. It was after all the guardians of the universe that convinced the entities to peacefully give Ian their energies.
he knew where they reside, so it was only a matter of time before he get it himself... He gave birth to apprehension in the minds of the entities of emotion.
The end result was getting what he wants pretty easily. Unfortunately, neither the entity of rage nor that of greed wished to give in so easily.
One had so much greed they couldn't possibly allow something that is theirs to become someone else's. The other was simply lost in their rage, a peaceful agreement never crossing their minds.
"That was sweet. Thank you." Ian let out a sigh of contentment before performing a slight bow at the three individuals.
Those were the only words he spoke to them despite to of them actually being humans. Hope found a human host in Nicole Morrison while love found it in Carol Ferris.
Hosts are the prerequisite for manifesting the entities outside of their home batteries in the first place, allowing what just happened to take place.
"That was... We've come a long way, didn't we?" Selina murmured, resting her head on Ian's shoulders while looking through the observatory, eyeing the vastness and the beauty of space.
"We did... My first night in Gotham was with the homeless, and now, we're in outer space." Ian chuckled, reminiscing about the past.
'That came out so wrong, but ok,' Selina noted in her mind before letting out a happy giggle, "Remember our first kiss?"
"Oh yeah, the day the naughty cat tried to seduce me," Ian couldn't help but let out a little laugh, mixing with Selina's laugh as she added, "Thankfully, it backfired."
"Thankfully?"
"Mm, yup. I'm very thankful things went the way they did... I'm unsure if I would've remained broke otherwise."
"I'm pretty sure you would. It's your middle name after all."
Selina actually laughed with him, not seeming annoyed as she fired back, "Thankfully, I have a husband who is only rich because others are rich, so I can be rich too."
"Huh? I made some money legally though?"
"Yeah yeah sure..."
It was another cozy sweet day for Ian, a very wonderful day which was soon complemented by fireworks so grand it illuminated the entirety of the universe, an orange firework followed soon after by a red one.
