It's Now 4am and Things Have Gotten Weird

First, Frank Gorshin as the Riddler and sound effects, now this.


Well, to be fair, "first," was the part where on the way to the grocery store to resupply Clan Arrow, Tara somehow managed to pick up a cute Green Lantern without knowing it. Here, she was ready to write off the evening with the nice guy visiting down as a nice walk with no future. The good news is that unless there are some sort of internal superhero politics she's unaware of, having him visit the Brownstone probably won't be a big deal.

And now for the bad news. Travis attempt to dispel the bug zapper he used on the goons doesn't seem to be working. Tara notices the tension as the store clerks and the scattered shoppers applaud. She runs over to Travis - assuming that's his real name. "I don't think we're done yet." he says. "And we need to get away from the civilians. You good to travel, get some fresh air?"

"Sure, Lantern." She replies. There's a slightly amused accent to her voice.

That's when the bug-zapper had grown eyes and spindly legs. And a voice. "Daddy?" it questions the Lantern.

Travis groans, moving over to Tara. "Oh Mxyzptlk." he mutters like a swear word.

"What?" she replies, notching another arrow.

"I don't know. The construct I created got dispelled, and can't create water anyway. If you've gone from mildly obnoxious but mostly staid pranks to mass electrocution, I'm sure the League and whoever is back in your home dimension would love to hear it."

"I know you're blind, but you don't have to be stupid, too. You didn't dispell it. It's yours. Congratulations, you're a daddy! Want a cigar?"

He offers a case of cigars to Travis.

"The rings constructs aren't sentient without help, mommy" Tara notes pointedly.
