With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

I can't be completely sure about this as I don't know what country you're from, but I strongly suspect that it was more along the lines of the middle class wanting to be more powerful rather than a concerned campaign against powerful groups favouring themselves.

In Clea's case she isn't simply passing the throne onto her closest relative. Venturian monarchs designate their heir. Cyprian has been extensively vetted and tested.

Yes, but you're a prole, so who cares?

 

It certainly began like that, but I think in the end it became more a case of airing old grievances.

With a guillotine.

Admittedly I should reformulate that: this is why getting rid of rulers that are above the law was and is a good idea

Oh, wow, how reassuring for the average citizen.

[/QUOTE]

Until the unrest begins: no one. And then rulers suddenly are very quick to make up for lost time

 

Image has gone away, and I can't find any other instances of it.

 

Doesn't really fix it, no. You need some qualifier. "The Member of Parliament" isn't better than "the member of Parliament".

 

There is nothing wrong with that since by Apokolips laws, he is indeed the ruler of the planet.

If he does it in a more subtle way, well he is making an army to defend his planet isn't he? He is also looking for a bride in Princess Luna.

 

Heheheheheheheh. Good for them!

 

And yet again red lantern Paul proves to be the best version of himself.

 

So I am just going to say I have caught up form this story from the story archive thread, and I am just going to say it was a very very long read and now that I am all caught up I can safely say that this story is one of my favorites

 

That does not sound even one bit reassuring coming from the mouth of DC's Bitch Queen Supreme.

'pulling'

If it's schizo tech then I'm betting it may require a lot of maintenance or the material to make it isn't abundant enough, so it can't be mass produced.

Well you did kinda come into this universe with a ring, so yeah.

Also im getting a feeling that these versions may be a copy of the Prime Earth version and that's why they can't say or think the name Paul.

They're technically not Prime Earth Paul, they're just copies with his memories.

And if you couldn't say your name and didn't spend much time with the Titans then there's no reason for them to know it.

'Komand'r's been'

Of course she finds it weirder than you.

You're a Paul.

What you find perfectly reasonable, others find weird as shit.

Congrats Red Daddy.

That kid is going to be so screwed up, what with growing up with a red ring version of Paul and Komand'r.

And another Paul gets enlightenment.

 

Common Sense Paul shall always be Best Paul.

 

sooooo.....it would be half human half tamaranean?

 

Is a hybrid between a human and a Tamaranean possible?

 

Yep.

In one universe Dick and Kori had a kid named Mar'i Grayson.

 

A.K.A. Nightstar who looks a lot like her aunt.

 

But fortunately for everyone, lacks her personality.

 

It's apparently a lot easier to reach enlightenment when incredibly powerful spiritual entities are involved, judging from Paul!ragon and Red Daddy.

That's not really a surprise, though

 

The faint hint of gamma radiation makes it spicy!

 

Maybe, though it may prove to also be very, very dangerous.

Before Paul got enlightened he had the Ophidian running around inside of him and he was lucky that she didn't turn everyone into constructs.

I'm dreading to think what the Butcher would have done.

 

Ah, Raul. may your endless frustrated rage at being stuck in a kid's show never wane. That's a fair crack along since the last sighting too, what's been happening, I wonder?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

...There's a thing in Worm that would be useful here: Master/Stranger protocols - confinement due to out-of-character behaviour. Should we be invoking that now?

The normal response should either be embarrassment and sideways glances... Or her image jumping out and trying to bite your head off (ineffectually...)

...Oh hell, is this some Tamaranean puberty thing? Is she going to be exhibiting all manner of odd physical quirks for the next while?

Hmm... How 'on fire' is Vega? Could it be more on fire? Because the general quality of the races there tends to deserve it... Barring the occasional 'nice' peoples like the Tamaraneans...

Hopefully you can find out whether you'll need the straitjacket... Or the power nullifier chains...

For all we know, some genius somewhere perfected repair ray-guns that literally reverse temporal flow for inanimate objects, restoring them to perfect condition... And then patented, mass-produced and sold them, then retired somewhere tropical on the proceeds.

To be fair, Tamaranean diseases are at least polite about their lack of jumping species lines. Can you imagine what some of them could to do Humans? Besides giving temporary superpowers...

There's a step up from prior events, at least. They're at least willing to welcome him into the tower... Grudgingly.

Politeness, the last thing anyone would expect from a Red Lantern... Say, are those coloured Quotation marks new? What's been happening?

And look at that. Not a single punch needed to be thrown. Progress! I suspect it's a step up from most supervillain visits.

I agree with Darko, it's probably schizo-tech. Probably some refinement of Captain Cold's Cold Gun, with an inversion effect applied. Or maybe Raven has a magic spell to keep it comfortable.. for normal people.

Exercising her goddess-given female right to take her time? I mean, it can't take that long to pick out a leotard and cape...

Umm, Raul, have you ever told them your name, or attempted to? Or is this going to be a chance to use that Robin social link to get an official version, like OL did?

Well... Technically, you didn't exist before you arrived, ring on finger (and napalm in your blood...) Man, that must have been an exciting morning.

Well, we can guess how much of a morning person she is, can't we?

...Dayum. Okay, that would have been an amazing episode to read. But... Putting your heart in your lantern? That sounds like basic training for a Red Lantern...

...That has some pretty significant drawbacks. What if you run out of Ring Charge? What if your anger gets nullified (Okay, Enlightenment would prevent that, but still...)

So, much like the Policeman in Renegade's timeline, or Dr. Banner, you're always angry? I suppose it makes you a lot more mellow, at least.

The whole Trigon event played out, eh? Wonder how big a part he played, beyond rage-punching Ol' Four-eyes in the nose a lot? Wonder if Raven's wearing the White outfit or not...

Hello! I'm guessing he decided 'Fuck Destiny' was the better option, clearly. And being outside Destiny's Book as he is, I have no doubt he had no difficulties.

Boy, she's just as mellow as he is, it seems. Then again, she was always expecting to die anyway, wasn't she?

That must have taken a while. Especially the ones living in single-story houses.

Yeah, Trigon does tend to take the long view of matters. There's always a lady down to bone the Devil somewhere.

And that says a lot about the way things played out, and Raul's character. Sure, he could have killed her and delayed the apocalypse another generation. But he doesn't kill innocents.

Ha! He really is more mellow. I wonder if a Paul who landed in 'Teen Titans Go!' would have gained Enlightenment in the first week just from that...

"Define 'strangely'." After all, TT Tamaraneans are weird. I mean, yes, we know she's acting oddly, but I could see them offering that response.

There are probably three or four at least. Hopefully it's not contagious.

...What. Just... What. Are you sure she hasn't been replaced by a Bizarro?

... ... Congratulations, Raul. You might want to invest in Promethium toys for the baby, it or they are likely to have some terrifying tantrums...

Well, that's a surprise. I mean, it's not like they haven't been chaste or anything, so nature took its course. How can they have a child together? Blame the White Light Entity! At any rate, Raul is gonna have some thinking to do, it seems. Mostly on whether he'll be a good father, that kind of thing, most likely.

---

Mr. Grayson is waiting for me in the lounge, looking completely alert.

 

If Raúl cleaned house in Vega does that mean that the red lantern core has encountered the big orange?

 

Not really.

Thank you, corrected.

No, he was content to leave Larfleeze to his cave.

 

Humans and tamera are capable of breeding together see nightstar Nightwing and Starfires daughter. Humans are the dittos of the dc verse and can breed with just about everything. Also

 

Nope, she already went through it.

When Kori was going through her puberty she mentioned her sister turned purple during hers.

This was probably before she betrayed her people and sold her sister.

Given Komand'r's personality, even if her personality hasn't suddenly changed, it might be a good idea to have those things near you.

He's technically not a supervillain.

Anti-hero or anti-villain is I think a more accurate description.

Or it adjusts itself to what a person views to be comfortable.

Nope.

I doubt it.

Paragon and Robin were friendly at least, these two, not so much.

I think he'll have the Butcher running around and be too angry to focus on enlightenment.

And Komand'r is a nutcase.

And potentially if he and Komand'r, a red lantern and borderline sociopath Tamaranean, should raise him alone, at all, or ask for help from someone so they can prevent him from becoming a potential warmonger.

Auntie Kori anyone.

Assuming Komand'r let's her near the kid.

 

And then the shock of the knews disrupted his heart construct and he keeled over instantly dead

Red Paul as a Dad: I'm not disappointed. Just angry. Very, very angfry. All the time!

Also: I suppose it keeps money in circulation.

That's the Broken Window Fallacy, right?

 

Welcome aboard!

 

With news like this it better not be another year in between segments for this...

Also still my favorite Paul.

 

I think the hair color makes her look much more like Kom than Kori.

Very sensible as expected.

 

That should be 'Tamaranean'.

 

Actually there is evidence for it with mycenaen Greece back when poseidon was also a cthonic god. Back then gods of death were held as being more important with many of the major ones like Pan Hermos, Dionysus, Demeter/Persephone all at the time being major gods and psychopomps. There is additional evidence that like pan and hermes poseidon and hades were once the same god with the predecessor to persephone/demeter being his queen of the gods.
