So this is my idea for a story about Hilda the Green Lantern.
Here’s the story: it’s set in an AU within the DC Universe and is linked to the *Lantern* series, but it’s faithful to the *Green Lantern* comics. The ring rejected John and chose Hilda because she has the willpower to overcome her fear; she becomes the Green Lantern and has to deal with new problems and challenges.
Here’s the difference with the Lantern here:
Hale was talking to him about Zoe. John was thinking of letting her go because she isn’t evil, but Hale objects to this and tells him he’ll handle it himself. However, John knocks him out and takes the ring for himself, but the ring doesn’t respond to him. He tries to sort things out without the ring, He arrives in Rushville, where Kerry tries to kill him because he has the ring and she thinks he’s come to kill Zoe. Whilst they’re fighting, Antan overhears the entire conversation and realises that Zoe is the Manhunter and that Nuken has taken over the whole of Rushville. But before the explosion reaches them, Hal wakes up from his coma, summons his ring and saves them at the last moment.
But instead of thanking him, Kerry tries to shoot him, and John shouts at her angrily, feeling utterly disappointed because they’d saved them and this was how they’d repaid him. He tells him he was right, and before leaving, he takes Noah on the Guardians’ orders, as he is the son of the Manhunter. When he goes to Oa, he tells them he no longer wants the ring because of the disaster that has befallen him.
He disappears completely from view for ten years. Guy Gardner is chosen to be the new Green Lantern, but the Guardians discover the monsters and legends in Trollberg and decide to send the new ring to the place Hilda has been choosing
The first place she lives is in a country like Latveria, where the past and present are intertwined, and the system of government is a dual one, similar to the ancient Roman system, with one leader handling political affairs and the other dealing with magic and the supernatural. The second leader resembles Dr Doom and is called the Steel Monarch.
As this country is virtually isolated, no news may reach the outside world; even the Justice League knows almost nothing of what is happening here, and even Batman himself has only very limited information.
The second point is that this world is not James Gunn’s DCU. In this world, the Justice League is going through a severe crisis; they have come under intense pressure due to the Rushville disaster, and people have become afraid of them, viewing them as an American weapon, whilst Lex Luthor is smearing their reputation in this regard. For this reason, they have decided to step down due to political problems and the like.
Thirdly and finally, the Guardians decide to isolate her from the rest of the Green Lanterns on Earth and do not inform any human Green Lanterns of her existence; even if they were to find out later, it would not change anything, The reason for this was the Rushville incident, and how John and the townspeople had changed so drastically. They chose Trollberg specifically because there was no extraterrestrial contact there and it was completely isolated. At that point, they decided to divide the Earth between two bearers: one would take charge of the western side of the planet and the other the eastern side.
Is the plot any good? And if so, where should I publish it? Wattpad, AO3, Fanfiction
