Several days before:

“And you are sure that this is what you want?”
“Of course it is, she just said so didn’t she”
“What a person says and what a person wants are two very different things”
“Then you need to listen a little better”
I stand and listen to Rick and Jay say in their own ways that they don’t want me to go, but after a few seconds Alan soon steps in to be the voice of reason.
“She has already made up her mind and we have asked to much of her already. What we need to do now is figure out a way to send her back to her own earth”
“That wont be easy, most of the time it’s been a cosmic event that has allowed the barriers between worlds to weaken or break”
“In this instance it appears the Guardians bid for supremacy, perhaps a similar conflict rages on your earth?”
“Hardly, when last I was there, we had just overcome a great threat and knowing the Justice League, even with Ted in command he will have gathered a good team”
“Better than ours?”
“Don’t be silly Jay, far as I’m concerned you are the only Flash, mind you I’d better not let Wally hear me say that”
“So then what do you suggest?”
“I’m going to ask the gods, perhaps Zeus can aid me, if not there is the guardians themselves, after all if not for me they may well have destroyed this universe, so they owe me. Whatever it takes I’ll get there. I guess this is goodbye”

Watchtower: Present.

“For gods sake would somebody please start giving me some answers”
“Troy’s vitals are stabilising, pulse, oxygen saturations and blood pressure are all within normal safety margins.”
“Thank god, I told you that emergency transportation protocol was still not operational Michael, what the hell was you thinking”
“She was barely a hundred feet away from the transporter site when her communications device told me her bio readings went off the chart, she was free falling and barely conscious and little harry potter over there was in some form of stasis field, doing nothing but dreaming about his shape changing boyfriend.”
“Leave Wiccan out of this, if not for his rings aura reacting the way it did, chances are he would have ended up the same way as Troy, whatever can take down an Amazon like that is more than a match for any of us” turning Ted quickly faces the youngest and newest recruit, “Billy are you sure there is nothing you remember or can tell us”
“It’s like I said before Blue Beetle, Sir. I’d been in a fight with some purple guy and when I awoke, I was here in this lab, where you told me that Troy had been sent to look for me and that when you had brought me in, my ring was glowing all around me”
“Yeah about that, I was meaning to ask. How did you come into possession of that ring Billy?”
The young boy turns his head, as if scorned by Teds words, “I really don’t want to discuss it”
“Are you for real, Ted if he’s holding out information then he’s a liability, for all we know that ring could be a god damn bug for Luther Corp or Waller or any other super genius just waiting to shut us down”
“Michael for someone that goes by the name of Mr Terrific your being a pretty big jerk”
“Hey guys, I hope your not fighting over me?” gently raising my head I swing my legs off of the medical table, instantly I am able to see Ted, Michael and Billy in the room.
“Donna are you alright?”
“Yeah I think so, what happened?”
“We were sort of hopping you could tell us”
“Man feels like I was hit by a train, last thing I remember was flying to a drop zone with Billy”
“Great another dead end”
“Michael just go over the scans again, see if theirs anything we’ve missed, Wiccan you should go to your room and get some rest”
Turning, Billy quietly leaves the room, leaving just me Ted and Michael. “So guess this means I’m on the team” I smirk at Ted and see him smile back
“Yeah I guess so, but you know we recruited Vixen so the spot for Wonder Woman’s replacement has already been filled”
He helps me off and away from the lab table; Mr Terrific instantly begins to pipe up, suggesting I need spend more time in his lab. However after a short exchange of words relaying the account of what happened the last time someone tried to detain an Amazon against their will, he decides he will merely call me when needed. I continue to walk the halls of the Watchtower, its large structure is already beginning to fill with the buzz of people.
“So who have you managed to bring on board”
“Apart from you, Terrific, Vixen and Nightwing. As well as Black Canary and J’onn. In Reserve we have a few more, including Superman, Batman and Diana who have all decided to sit out on this one and leave the main working of the team to us.”
“And how are you taking to that?”
“Are you serious, feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and I’m already buckling under the pressure”
“If the three greatest superheroes chose you specifically, I’m guessing they figured you was more than capable of pulling it off and by the sounds of things you already have a good team growing. Canary has good battle and tactical experience, Vixen is a multi-adaptive, Nightwing was Bats sidekick long enough to pick up more than just his bedside manner, and J’onn has always served as the heart of the team”
“And now I have you”
“Yeah and now you have me” For a brief second I almost cant help but think how cute Ted looks. But just for a second. “What do you know, my room. Guess I’ll see you in the morning”
“Yeah I’ll need to brief you along with the rest of the team. Does nine am sound ok?”
“Sounds fine to me, but its getting late and I could use a good nights sleep”
“Il leave you to it then”
“Good night Ted”
I enter my room and hear the door close behind me, “Stupid girl” I say to no one as I make my way to the bathroom. I slip out of my uniform, before taking advantage of the hot shower. After drying myself off I make my way over to the bed, before letting the towel slip away and slide in between the sheets, in seconds the stars quickly lull me in to a deep slumber.

“She is ready”
The creature known as Atrocitus sits with his feet buried in a river of blood, working his almost shamanistic magic he communicates to the ring that now resides in Donna Troy.
“What is they bidding”
“Stay hidden, stay safe. When the time is right take her, for there is much rage buried deep in her heart. I feel this”

Watchtower:

"With blood and rage of crimson red, Ripped from a corpse so freshly dead,
Together with our hellish hate,We'll burn you all--That is your fate!"
I speak the words starring directly at my own reflection, my face is motionless, my eyes unresponsive, I resite the blood oath with a voice I would hardly recognise, before once more settling down to sleep.

Yasmult:

“She will remember nothing and soon all of secotor two, eight, one, four will feel the rage of the red lanterns”
