~Dick's POV~

"Boy Wonder, a word."

"Uhh.. what's up?"

"Zar is probably going to bite my head off for this, but I'm worried." Hal rubbed his temples and pushed me to the back of the ship. "I need you to keep an eye on Zaria. You two have a... special bond as it were. I just need you to watch out for her. Tamaran isn't exactly how she remembers it, especially now with Komand'r in charge."

"I don't-"

"People will try to kill her the moment we land. I can try and shield her, but it won't be enough... It'll trigger her to transform, Robin. I need you to be her anchor in this."

"Hal, I've never seen her transform. I don't know what to do." I pointed out.

"You'll know when the time comes. There's been times, long before the Team was formed, where she was about to lose control and you've somehow managed to ground her. I'm just asking you to do what you always do."

"What do I-"

"Kilowog! Laira!" We heard Zaria yell and Hal smiled big dragging me back to the cockpit. "What are you two doing here!?"

"We have come to ensure you have a safe landing, Zaria." The alien woman I assumed was Laira smiled and nodded at Hal. "Are these the friends we've heard so much about?"

"Ooh... guys, meet Kilowog and Laira. They helped train me when I lived in Oa and Kilowog was in Tamaran the day the Ring chose me." Zaria said and we all waved. "These are my friends! That's Kori, M'gann, Artemis, Kaldur, Superboy, Robin and Wally... it's actually because of Wally that we were able to defeat Krona."

"Me!?"

"I remember when you bored me to death once talking about matter and anti-matter. That's how I got the idea to throw a planet."

"And almost died!" Hal retorted and she rolled her eyes. "I think the four of us should go outside and talk about this. Is it really as bad as the Guardians said?"

"It is." Kilowog said and Kori frowned. "We're doing all we can, Princess. But your sister-"

"Is impossible to negotiate with. She always wanted the throne and now has the perfect opportunity to rule Tamaran with anger."

"That's not anger, Kori. That's revenge." Zaria said and the Lanterns left Bioship but still stayed close.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." Superboy grumbled and Artemis nodded.
