Green Lantern's Protégée

30: "Walt Disney is haunting me."

Author's Note - Reposted on this chapter
Guys, I'm so hyped! This book is number one in the ranking for Young Justice! I didn't even know I had any ranking but turns out I'm the best!! Thanks to all you amazing readers for all your votes, comments, and tears/laughter over this story!

We are nearing the end of the book. I believe there are around ten chapters left and I plan to update this weekend as well. I just want you all to know that this book did things for me. It helped me grow as an author and learn how to make 3-dimensional characters like Cyra's with quirks and flaws (a lot of flaws) and learned my voice as a writer.

When I first began this book, I did it impulsively just because I thought I could get some quick votes to get my name out there. It was never anything serious but when I started to write I just made it as good as I could in a short time and developed a character and weak plot as I went. Obviously, I had grown since then and my original plot became solid and Cyra into a realistic person who can be both hated and loved. Now, I'm so glad I made this story.

Again, you are all some awesome readers and you can check out all my rankings (there are a lot of good ones!).

Now, how are you guys liking the story? The plot? The mysteries? Cyra's character, family, past? Especially the last couple of chapters since I didn't feel much while writing some of it. What would you like to see more of for the future? I didn't mean for this to sound like an essay question at the end of a test or anything but I'd love some constructive criticism.

Finally, can I get some reviews? I want to do that thing in the description of the book with reviews and such and if you guys can write some good ones I'll put them here and at the beginning of the book!

Again again, thanks for all you wonderful readers! When this book is finished it's going through editing and I'll tell you now, I am already planning and writing some of the next books because I know how this ends (wink, wink) and know where I am going for the next book. You guys will be so broken after this book and the second. :D

Cyra has been having a weird day.

Forgetting all about being brainwashed by a pink Lantern from space into being her proxy or even to the more awkward conversation to have surrounded by hungry girls, Cyra's day definitely was at a higher level of crazy than it usually was.

It started with waking up in the morning her alarm literally jumping up and down on her desk and baying like a broken hen. Cyra was jolted away, rolling off her bed and it didn't matter how many times she slapped the alarm to turn off as it never did. She had to rip the cord out of the wall to get it to shut up.

Her family was running around her house like jackrabbits, as if they all downed eighteen galleons of coffee, screaming—which could have been considered a regular Brion family morning, but what really tipped Cyra off was the literal lines of scent that came off the sizzling bacon.

Cyra closed her eyes tightly for a few seconds, breathing heavily, before snapping them open and looking again. The scent lines were still there.

Then, Cyra went to school as if nothing was going on.

She walked past birds who chirped above her head as if she was in Cinderella and bikers who would make little jingling sounds whenever they passed another person. Two men carrying a wall of glass between them almost hit her from around a corner until Cyra ducked underneath it.
