In the privacy of his flat, Brian stood before a strange, metallic object resembling a lantern. He held up his hand, sliding a small green ring onto his finger, before pressing said ring against the lantern. As the lantern began to glow, he spoke quietly but solemnly.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight.

Let those who worship evil's might

Beware my power--Green Lantern's light!"

Upon completing the strange rite, he drew back his hand and formed a fist. Instantly, a green and black uniform materialized, including an eye mask. Striding over to the window, he pushed it open, shooting out into the air.

It's still hard to believe this ring lets me fly, he thought. Wonder if I'll ever get used to it--ah, there he is.

Flying close to the plane, he held out his fist so that the ring was facing out, and focused ever so slightly. A beam of green light emerged, forming into a large hand, which caught the plane and gently brought it down. As the dazed pilot emerged, Brian flew down, stopping just before he touched the ground.

"Are you all right?"

"Yes," the other man replied. "Th-thank you...ah..."

Brian gave a small smile. "I'm Green Lantern."
