Always.

So.... hypothetically....... what if I need a ride back to earth from 12 parsecs away?

-🐦‍🔥

Hypothetically, I'd advise you not to tell me what exactly you did to get there or what you were trying to achieve, just in case it's something I'd rather not know about.

Then, I'd tell you to find some kind of coordinates of where you are. The narrower, the better, but as long as you have the solar system down and there isn't too many other humans around, I should be able to find you.

Ooc:

ALL. OF. THIS.

In absences of bringing Kat back to life.

ALL. OF. THIS.

Thinking again about how DC completely wasted the opportunity to build a legacy for Katma Tui beyond just being "John's dead wife"

Like imagine a version of Green Lantern Corps where Katma's legacy was actually a tangible theme. Imagine a version of Soranik Natu's tale where her other predecessor had just as much presence as Sinestro did.

Hell, you wouldn't even need to change that much of her character arc. Like yeah it makes sense for Soranik to think of Sinestro first when she becomes a Green Lantern- he's the boogeyman that Korugar still fears. But while Sinestro is the predecessor that she desperately does not want to follow the footsteps of, Katma should have been the one to give Soranik hope that she can find her own path.

Imagine if, after she tried to return to her old life as a doctor only to be completely rejected by Korugar, Soranik begrudgingly joins the Corps because she sees it as her only option. She throws herself into the training, into her missions, yet her heart's not in it because she still fears that this is a slippery slope that will lead to her falling the way Sinestro did.

But things begin to change when she overhears some of the older Corps members reminiscing about the old days and some of them mention Katma. Because even after Emerald Twilight, there was no shortage of returning Green Lanterns who knew her personally and considered her a comrade and a friend.

Soranik knows the name Katma Tui of course. The girl who led the rebellion against Sinestro, only to end up just like him. At least, that's how their people see her decision to join the Green Lanterns. But as Soranik visits more worlds, she learns that was far from the truth. Korugar might call Katma "The Lost" but the other worlds of Sector 1417 revere her as a beloved hero even years after she died.

When that whole mess on Betrassus goes down, both Prince Ragnar and Princess Iolande mention Katma as one of the greatest Green Lanterns in their sector's history and someone they wish to emulate. This is what pushes Soranik to finally try to learn more about her other predecessor.

She first visits the Crypts of Oa, where fallen Green Lanterns are memorialized in eternal light. Even knowing that very few members of the Corps survive to retirement, let alone old age, Soranik is struck by just how young the hologram of Katma Tui looks despite her years of service.

From asking around the Corps, she learns that Katma Tui was many things. Kilowog considers her one of the finest Lanterns he's ever trained. To Arisia Rrab, she was the closest thing she'd had to an older sister. Salaak remembers her as one of the few beings whom he'd called a friend. Rot Lop Fan tells the story of how she recruited and trained him to be the first F Sharp Bell.

Unsurprisingly, John Stewart has the most stories. He tells Soranik about how his wife had wanted to be a university professor, but never had the chance to pursue that path. She'd gone straight from being a revolutionary to the Green Lantern of her sector, after all. And as a Green Lantern, she'd been one of the bravest and most selfless members of the Corps, even though it cost her dearly.

Soranik hesitates for a moment, but asks anyway, "Why did she accept the ring? She must have known that our people would hate her for it."

John remains silent for a while before he finally replies. "She did. But even knowing what Korugar would think of her, she wasn't afraid to try anyway because Kat also believed in what the Green Lanterns stand for, once she learned the truth about the Corps. She hoped that by taking the ring that once belonged to Sinestro and using it for good, she could inspire her people to overcome their fear of him."

The even though they never did goes unsaid, but Soranik feels its weight all the same, along with the burning of shame. Shame because she'd shared in her people's unjust hatred of Katma, shame because she'd spent every second since her recruitment feeling sorry for herself when her predecessor had willingly endured far worse for the sake of Korugar.

John must've sensed what Soranik was thinking, because he pats her shoulder (a gesture of reassurance that is apparently common to both Earthlings and Korugarians) and tells her, "For what it's worth, I think Kat would've been proud of you. You are exactly what she hoped for, a new generation of Korugar."
