All Will be Well

A journal entry for my class that evolved into a story.

Miles held the blue ring in his hand.  He couldn’t believe that he had been given the honor of being in the Blue Lantern Corps.  He knew that this would mean that he would have to pull out the double identity of a super hero while on Earth, but how often do you get to go to the planet Odym and join forces with the likes of Saint Walker and the Guardian Ganthet?  How often does one get to be an intergalactic officer powered by the emotion of hope?  He hadn’t put the ring on yet, pondering all that had happened so far.  He then put on the ring, and said the battle cry of the Blue Lanterns
“All will be well.”  As soon as he said this, he was immediately wearing the uniform of a Blue Lantern and a mask that closely resembled a cross between Iron Man and Batman in order to conceal his identity on Earth.  He was excited.  The first thing he did was try and figure out how to fly, and after several attempts of jumping up and hoping that it would automatically activate, he finally found out that he needed to simply hope for things in order to power his ring.  He flew like nobody’s business.  Upside down, sideways, high, low, and so many other variations that could take hours to describe.  As he was flying over the downtown area, he saw a large number of men with ski masks running out of the bank with large black bags that were clearly stuffed with money.  Miles made a quick look-around in order to make sure that this wasn’t some publicity stunt or a movie that was being filmed, and when he was sure, he swooped down and immediately grabbed a few criminals with large grappling claws.  The getaway car saw this, and immediately floored it.  Before Miles could grab the car as well, another blue claw came out of the sky and picked it right up off the ground.  As he looked up, he saw two other Blue Lanterns above him.  One was Saint Walker himself, the other was clearly a woman, but it was impossible to tell if she was human or an alien from another planet.  Saint Walker was giving instruction to the woman, as she slowly brought out the person driving the car and lined him up with the other criminals that Miles had caught earlier.  Saint Walker descended and extended his right hand, saying,
“You and your friend here are the first humans to join us.  I am honored to say, welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps.”  Miles was honored, and quickly shook Saint Walkers extended hand.  Saint Walker then gestured to them that it was time for them to go to space.  As they flew up, their masks began to disappear because they didn’t need them anywhere else other than on Earth.  Miles looked over at the woman and was shocked by who he saw.  It was none other than…

Miles woke up quickly when his alarm went off.  He was fumbling with the items on his nightstand trying to find his watch in order to turn off the annoying beeping.  As he finally turned it off, he looked up as his brother slowly got up out of bed.  They got up, ate breakfast, and got ready for school.  When Miles tried to remember his dream last night, all he could remember was that he was a Blue Lantern for a short period of time.  As soon as he got to school, he soon forgot all about it.
