----Friday, 7:00 PM//JLA Watchtower----
It had been four long days since Billy had been on Earth, It’s still weird even thinking that. Floating about the outer atmosphere, the dark haired teen's force field began to dim a bit. And though it was still the same familiar blue hue his powers utilized, there was something noticeably different about it, however subtle.
“Wiccan to Watchtower,” he spoke into his communicator, "I'm coming in."
“Are you okay?” a familiar deep voice replied, “You sound weak.”
"Yea ..." he seemed to mumble softly before passing out.
“Billy?” J'onn tried to engage the younger male in conversation.
“Billy?” he reiterated after a couple seconds of silence. Bringing up a camera feed from outside, he could see the spell-caster's body floating cryptically. Phasing through the metallic body of the Watchtower, the Martian Manhunter retrieved his teammate before phasing back into their base of operations. Gasping for breath, Billy's eyes shot open as they looked to J'onn.
"What happened?" he asked, his head pounding quickly.
“I was about to ask you the same thing,” J'onn answered.
After walking into a room, the green skinned alien placed Billy onto a small cot, examining him as best he could “You need rest, you appear to be fatigued.”
----Three Hours Later----
Waking up in a strange place, Billy's green eyes darted about the room. "What's going on?" he asked himself faintly, unable to remember much of anything at the current moment in time.
“That's something we were hoping you could tell us,” Mari replied after a gentle 'swoosh' of an opening door.
“I just came to check up on you, we've been taking turns to make sure you're alright.”
"Am I in the Watchtower?" he asked, though he was sure he already knew the answer.
“Yes; you've been missing for a couple of days. Care to fill me in?”
"I remember returning from Odym," he answered Vixen, "after my pilgrimage to find the next blue lantern."
“Wait, what? You're a lantern now?”
"Yea," he pulled out a ring from his pocket, one sporting the insignia for hope.
“It seems a few of us are acquiring power rings ...” Mari said in a hushed tone, thinking about her own red ring.
“Anything else happen to you?” she asked, wondering what had caused him to faint.
"No, just flying to and from Odym; plus some of their tests. I guess I was just exhausted?" he offered an answer as to what had happened.
“Okay, as long as you weren't attacked or something,” Mari replied with a smile; “I'll leave you alone now, so you can get some more rest.”
As the door slid closed, Billy sat still for a second before sliding the ring onto his right index finger. No use in having it if I'm not gonna wear it ... he thought to himself. Standing up from the cot, he exited the room he was in to stretch his legs. Wandering aimlessly, he found himself in the control room with J'onn.
“I take it you're feeling better?”
"Yeah, I am. And thanks, for saving me."
“No need for thanks, it's what we do as teammates. You would've done the same, I'm sure.”
Not knowing what to say in reply to that statement, Wiccan just offered a friendly smile as he peered at the screen that showed Earth. I wonder what Teddy's up to? he asked himself mentally, It's been a while since I've seen him ...
"J'onn, I think it's time I head back for a bit."
“That's fine, you're not on duty. But if something comes up, I'll contact you,” the Martian Manhunter answered.
"Great," Wiccan replied before closing his eyes to focus on teleporting to New York.
