"Leaving!? What do you mean you're leaving!?"

"Robin, I've away from this team more times than I would care to mention. I was off world for months just trying to regain control of my Ring!"

"So? We don't care!" Dick protested and unpacked whatever I threw in the boxes. "You're back now and that's what-"

"Dick, you don't understand." I sighed and he raised an eyebrow. "There's things I can't tell you... Any of you."

"Zaria, what could be so bad that you can't tell us? We've literally seen you go full demon several times."

"This isn't about that."

"Then what?" Dick asked and grabbed my hand before I could grab anything else. "Crimson, what's really going on?"

"Little Red, you all packed?" Hal called out making Dick immediately drop my hand. "Robin, mind if I speak to my kid for a sec?"

"Sure..." He mumbled and walked away, closing the door behind him.

"You didn't tell him, did you?"

"No, of course not!" I exclaimed and glanced at my Ring, the green hue surrounding it glowing even brighter. "I haven't told a soul since I came back from Ysmault."

"Zar, I know they're your friends, but there are some things one needs to keep private."

"Hal, I can't look at them in the eye."

"Zar, you lost control while charging. It happens to-"

"I almost slaughtered half the planet!" I exclaimed and immediately calmed down. "Hal, you can't keep giving me scraps of your willpower to keep this under control. Eventually it's gonna be too much and neither of us would be able to handle it."

"We'll figure it out once we speak with the Guardians. Ever since you took on Kroa, that thing's been going haywire."

"Which is why I can't tell them." I sighed and finally closed the box. "When do we leave?"

"I have a meeting with the League. After that, we head out. Head home and finish packing in the meantime. You can say your goodbyes later."

"Still, we could always use more raw power. And Earth has another Lantern, Guy Gardner."

"No."

"But we could really-"

"No." John and I said in unison.

"You sure about that?" Barry asked and I hit him upside in the head. "What the hell!?"

"He sings about his ass constantly. Do you really want that here?" I asked and they all grimaced. "Oh, now you feel bad for me!? Allow me to thank you all for the sympathy!"
