[Justice League] Earth 52

Kyle Renner is sitting anxiously in the Starbucks shop at the moment, drinking bad coffee.

To be honest, Kyle doesn't like coffee very much. If he didn't have to need it during the draft, he wouldn't want to touch that nasty liquid at all, and if it wasn't for their strong wifi, Kyle would definitely not want to come to Starbucks .

Today, however, he missed the draft, but still stayed here because he needed to meet someone.

It started when he returned from an outer space mission a few nights ago, checked his mailbox, and found an invitation that was three days out of date.

An offer for a comic job.

Kyle is a Green Lantern, a cosmic guy, but he is a painter first on earth. Originally, if you are not a famous artist, it would be difficult to make a living in this kind of work, let alone Kyle, who spends three days fishing and two days drying the net. .

So in order to make a living on Earth without his mission recently, he must immediately take over a job.

He thought that it might not be too late after three days of expiration—well, he didn't really know what to do before calling—but fortunately, the other party readily agreed the next day after answering the phone.

This list is a comic book adaptation of a novel. After signing the contract with the company, Kyle should meet with the screenwriter, that is, the original author.

That's why he's here today.

After he sat here for about half an hour, the other party arrived late.

Kyle didn't notice her at first, he was concentrating on flipping through the novel he was going to draw into a comic, and was reading the plot of a battle.

Judging from the text alone, the refined style makes it difficult for Kyle to imagine that it came from the hands of a girl-not his belittlement, but girls are usually better at delicate descriptions than big scene control.

Then a person sat across from him carelessly.

"Uh..." Kyle raised his eyes from the book, wanting to remind the other party that there was someone here, and then met a warm smile.

The girl was wearing a T-shirt with the Superman logo on it, her blond hair was neatly tied up, and her blue eyes... were as beautiful as the surface of a lake in winter.

"Is that Kyle Renner?" The other party smiled at him and introduced himself, "Monica Morgan."

Kyle subconsciously glanced at the signature of the book in his hand—MM

Kyle has to admit that Monica is a good partner with quick thinking and seems to know a little about composition and storyboarding, which makes them communicate better and more efficiently when they cooperate.

Kyle later asked why he was chosen as an unknown artist at that time. As a comic adaptation, the original work must be a best-selling novel with a large audience, which means that Monica should have a better choice.

"I don't know?" Monica shrugged after thinking for a while, then suddenly remembered something, took out her phone, and called up a game. Kyle recognized the game, which he picked up a long time ago To be honest, he thinks the game is pretty bad.

Then he heard the other party say, "No offense, but this game is actually pretty bad, but I like this style of painting."

3.

Kyle discovered Monica's little secret when they had been working together for a while, and after returning from a 20-day mission in outer space, he glanced at his calendar and realized he had missed a deadline.

He hurriedly called the company, but was told that his manuscript had already been handed in.

This surprised him, so he immediately called his screenwriter, Monica.It wasn't until he dialed the number and heard the other party's hazy voice that he realized that this was not a good time to disturb others.

"Reina?" Kyle heard the other party's drowsy voice and quickly woke up after hearing his voice, "Where did you die?! Why didn't I answer the phone?!"

Kyle flinched when he heard the other party's roar, and said nothing. After all, it was his fault for missing the deadline, and it was also his fault for turning off the communication in outer space.

"You'd better give me an explanation." He heard the rant continue on the phone.

"I... my friend had an accident..." Kyle said silently apologizing to the injured Guy.

"Oh... this is really unfortunate news." The other party quickly fell silent, and after a few seconds he regained his composure and said in a somewhat guilty tone.

"Sorry." Kyle shook his head, realizing that the other party couldn't see, so he said, "I missed the deadline..."

"Oh, that, don't worry too much about that." He heard the other party say in a relaxed tone, "Most of the manuscript you drew before is enough for me to hand in, just add a few more pages...so I drew four for you. Page."

"What?!" Kyle was dumbfounded when he heard the bombshell dropped by the other party calmly.

A few days later, the printed matter came out. Kyle took the finished product and flipped through it, and found that there were indeed a few pages with a different style of painting than him. Those pages were cleverly interspersed in the main story and became memories. Kyle remembered According to the outline, this part should not be released until several issues later.

Black and white drafts are indeed a good choice as a memory kill, because it is a memory kill, and the inconsistency of the painting style does not seem to be so important.The delicate painting style is softer and more feminine than the other party's text.

Kyle held the finished product in his hand and looked at Monica who poked fruit salad with a toothpick.

The other party seemed to sense his doubts, raised his head, and wiped his mouth, "Since the meal was not bad, I will forgive you this time."

"Oh..." Kyle nodded, and then suddenly realized his own problem, "I don't know, you can still draw..."

"Hmm, there are so many things you don't know." Monica shrugged and replied casually.

"Then why? Since you can draw by yourself, why do you need an artist to change the comics?" Kyle couldn't help asking.

"..." The other party didn't answer right away, but gave him a sad smile, which made Kyle feel that his question shouldn't be so thoughtless.

Monica is color-blind, and her inability to recognize colors limits her talent for painting.

4.

And Monica knew Kyle's secret even later.

A routine raid by an interstellar supervillain.

It is no surprise that New York, as an international metropolis, bears the brunt of the move.Even the people of New York are used to this kind of demolition every three days and moving every five days.

The battle is routinely defended by the Green Lanterns and the Justice League.

Kyle is knocked into a building by a yellow light, he feels the tempered glass shatter behind him, and then he falls on a table, seeing stars.

Kyle tried to get up from the ruins, but the first struggle failed.He felt the pain in his whole body as if his bones were falling apart.

But he couldn't fall down. He felt that there were civilians hiding under the table behind him, so he got up hard, and the baseball bat realized by the ring sent his opponent flying. He suffered from the yellow light.

He looked around the crumbling building, turned his head, walked towards the person hiding behind the table, and stretched out his hand, "Are you okay? This place is about to collapse, I'll take you out."

The other party raised his head, and he caught off guard and met the other party's blue eyes like the surface of a winter lake.

The other party asked tentatively, "Kyle?"

So, his hand froze there until the other party took his extended hand.He led people into an alley silently all the way, turned around and joined the battle again.

After the battle, he even stayed and participated in the whole follow-up work, until everything was over, he was dragged to the bar by a few buddies, and everyone could see that he was preoccupied.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Gaisel gave him a bottle of beer, took a sip himself, and then pulled Kyle's face, "We won the battle, but you have a mourning expression on your face, what are you doing?"

"I..." Kyle waved his hand to avoid Guy's clutches. After thinking for a while, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he finally decided to confide in his seniors, "I think my colleagues know my secret identity."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hal and John looked at each other and raised their eyebrows, and Guy whistled.

"Your new screenwriting partner?"

"En?" Kyle raised his head, looked at Guy, and said with some doubts, "How do you know?"

"You mentioned her." Hal replied with a shrug.

"Did I mention it?" Kyle was a little alert now.

"You mentioned it." John nodded as the only serious and nice guy. "The last time we drank together, you drank a lot."

"Oh." Kyle nodded expressionlessly, but the villain in his heart was crying.

——Alcohol is the root of all evil, the ancients never deceived me.

"Tell me, how far have you been with her? If it's about the same, it's okay to be exposed." Gai asked in a gossiping manner at this time.

"Yeah, Kyle, secrets are not good for developing a relationship, and they will always be exposed in the end. Look at me and Carlo..."

"Then Carlo became the Star Sapphire." Kyle said mercilessly, "And when Gai is dating an ice girl, superhero couples shouldn't come out to show their affection."

Kyle waved his hands listlessly, "We're just... ordinary colleagues."

The last time, when he just became a Green Lantern, he didn't keep his identity secret, which led to the tragic death of his girlfriend. He still remembers this incident vividly, and he doesn't want to harm others because of himself.

"That's not necessarily..." After understanding the meaning of Kyle's subtext, Hal thought for a while and replied, "Barry and Iris are also very good."

Then, things got out of hand.

Kyle was found by the spirit of existence, became the only white light in the world, and experienced various battles and narrow escapes. When he finally returned to the earth, he felt a sense of right and wrong.

He thought of his planet, he thought of his home, and then he thought of Monica.

But what he heard was the news that Monica was seriously ill. He rushed to the hospital and saw a pale girl in a white hospital gown lying on the hospital bed.In the ward without the lights on, her long golden hair lost its former luster, and her blue eyes were not as peaceful as before.

It feels like all people who lose their health, lose hope.

In the past, Kyle could not do anything about it, but now, he is a white light that can heal everything.

"Hi." He walked in gently, and put his hand on Monica's head. The other person seemed to have not noticed his arrival before, and when he did so, he slowly turned his head and looked at him.

"Hey, you don't look good." Kyle leaned over and touched the other person's forehead, and said softly.

"So obvious?" The other party smiled at him, but he didn't have the usual warmth, probably because it was extremely cold in this hospital.

"..." Kyle shook his head, and did not answer the half-joking question of the other party, "I'm here to help you, close your eyes."

The other party closed her eyes obediently, and when she opened them again, Kyle was no longer standing in front of her.

She smiled at the other party, "Has your uniform changed?"

"Hmm, I made some changes." Kyle nodded, sat down on the edge of the hospital bed, watched the other party slowly sit up, and did not stop the other party, because he knew that he had cured her.

"You seem very busy, so it's understandable that you keep missing deadlines."

"Well, forcing the lottery to be won all year round, this job is really not done by humans." Kyle replied with a snort and a half-complaint.

"...I sympathize with you." Monica leaned against the head of the bed and found a comfortable position. She didn't say anything else, but looked at Kyle for a full 2 ​​minutes, and then smiled, "It's better than your previous uniform." powerful."

"That's because you can't recognize green by yourself." Kyle shook his head and smiled. He felt that looking at the other person's smile warmed him somewhere.

"Yeah, so I've never been able to figure out which green light is you...but now, I guess I can."

This time, he let the other party reach out to hook him and let him approach him, but he didn't refuse.

At a very close distance, he felt the other person's breath, and then lifted the mask.

After all, no one wants to wear that thing while kissing.

The author has something to say:

The story is that the hero is Kyle Renner, the fourth Earth Green Lantern of the Green Lantern System, the last heir when the Green Lantern Corps was completely wiped out, and now he has become a white lantern, a young man who is cheating.
