Chapter 5 - chapter:5

"You did? He must be with Bruce on the batwing then!"Kara said relieved written on her face. She flew off to help with repairs.

Meanwhile, the Batwing flew beside Harry as they searched for survivors. Since they could not talk, because Harry wasn't wearing a communications device on his ear, Barman pointed to a few drifting spacesuits and Harry nodded. Firing several green beams, he encompassed them and searched for more with Bruce guiding him.

They found Superman in his Space Suit, rescuing other defenders. Clark's eyes widened when he saw Harry." You're part of the Green Lantern Corps Harry?"

"No I'm not, I just learned I had this power" Harry replied. His eyes glowed green for a slight moment.

"Cmon Harry, I'll show you where you can help, I'll watch over him Bruce."

As the watch tower was heavily destroyed, it now lacked the necessary life support modules like air support and power. Superman flew down and picked up a module at a time, while Harry was stationed in space to help lift the load by shielding Clark and the equipment from the heat as he flew past the atmosphere and back to space. It was a long day, as newly discovered Harry's powers were valuable in every operation. He finally went back inside past the newly repaired hull where he helped weld the new armor plating and into the cargo bay.

Diana and Kara were waiting for him with arms crossed and frowns on their faces. Harry grinned and gave his most charming boyish smile for a ten year old. It melted their temper right away, and enveloped him in bone crushing hugs, luckily his new found power saved his ribs.

Harry was jogging around in the grounds of Wayne manor with John Stewart and Katma Tui, both of them ex green lantern corps. Since learning that he had Green Lantern powers, John and Katma trained him in physical and mental conditioning to suit his new power. He was getting better, and this surprised both ex lanterns, and he kept on requesting to join the missions.

Bruce and Diana, who have almost become surrogate parents for Harry refused to allow him to join in the dangerous missions. Clark who had become his favorite uncle that spoils him allowed him to hang out at the tower provided he does not disturb the day to day operations.

His name now was Harry Apollo Wayne, after Bruce adopted him. He got the name Apollo from Diana, who said it suited him perfectly, for even though he was young, all of them noticed his strong sense of Justice and righteousness. He was not perfect and like all boys loved to play pranks and get into mischief with Flash, who he now considered his cool yet irritating big brother. Diana once said, that Apollo noticed Harry, and would watch over him, and he smiled and accepted the name in honor of the Greek god of Justice and Light. That conversation stuck in his mind, and once confided to Clark that when he was allowed to join the league, he would asked to be called Apollo, as to make him remember what he was fighting for.

Superman although a boy scout, still had a sense of humor and entered Apollo as Harry's call sign in the computer database of the watchtower. He rarely went to the watchtower wearing a costume, whenever he wore one all the heroes automatically called him Apollo.

Since learning of his Birthday, Harry always insisted on having a small birthday party. But the little boy's friends from the Justice League wanted to visit that his parties grew into a yearly anticipated event. Harry was happy it was not extravagant but functional and fun; there was plenty of food, overall a nice and simple party.

Simple was an understatement, for the Justice league and their affiliates were all invited. And as they wanted to avoid attention, they went to a small island Bruce owned and had the party there ever since he was 6. Harry's parties were usually known as the most relaxing events for the year, catching up on news and gossip between heroes. Naturally the unlucky league members who had duty could not come had to stay at the Watchtower, just watched the party from monitors waiting for alarms to sound.

He was most excited to meet Kara, Clark's cousin, also called Supergirl. She had just turned 14 and had officially joined the league, leaving Harry as the only junior league member. He was always left at the base or Wayne manor, getting tutored in education by Alfred or Jonn. The league though, acknowledged Harry's growing power, and as John Stewart told them, the fire power of a battalion of the Green Lantern's Corps.

His power was very flexible, able to change from offensive to defensive, each was impressive, and could then continue search and rescue, not counting repairs. That was when they realized how they missed the Green Lantern John Stewart, and the Lantern corps in general; you could always count on the Green Lanterns for help.

The league felt that making Harry stay back despite of his power was a wise decision, for his mere presence significantly boosts the defenses of the watch tower. Combined with Kara and Jonn always stationed there, their combined power was not to be messed with, as was learned by Sinestro, when he tried to attack the watchtower when the big three were all on missions. One powerful barrage from Harry as he intercepted him before he reached the watchtower stunned him, and a follow up by Kara, covered in a green shield to protect her from space knocked out Sinestro. He was currently imprisoned, and Harry destroyed his ring to make escape impossible.

The big three, the acknowledged leaders of the League were Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, were powerhouses on their own right, and even though Batman was not a metahuman, super powered villains run at the sight of him.

Superman was the strongest member of the league physically, and provided the face of the league. Wonder Woman was the strongest woman in the league, and was rumored to be as strong as superman when truly pissed off. She was the symbol of the league's ideals, for fairness, equality and justice. Batman was the brains of the operation, calling the shot from behind the scenes. Most league members claimed that Batman had a metapower and it was his Frightening Intelligence.
