Huge thanks to Omar, Keith, and HeroGhost for buying my Patreon! It really means a lot to me! anyways, onto the story!
[3rd POV] [Gwen's Mindscape]
Gwen looked where Trigon was standing a few moments ago, before looking down to her right ring finger, finding a glowing green ring.
'....A Green Lantern ring' Gwen thought, staring at it. Inwardly she wondered what would happen if her symbiote absorbed it, as technically the ring was a piece of technology. But she also doubted that was a good idea, something told her it wouldn't be smart to do such a thing...not yet at least.
'If I get my hands on another one I'll try it' Gwen decided, as the space around her returned to its previous color. Not longer tinged with the demonic energies of Trigon. Instead it was glowing a soft green, the green glow of pure willpower.
"Gwen! Are you okay?!" Nabu asked, as he and the rest of the beings she was the host to, formed back into being.
"I'm alright. Better than ever actually!" Gwen said with a grin, lifting her hand, showing off her new Green Lantern ring.
The group blinked in shock, as Nabu looked at the ring.
"That ring in your hands..." Cyra muttered, realization settling in, on just how powerful that ring was, in the hands of someone like Gwen, who had the combined willpower of multiple different people.
"You're probably the most powerful Green Lantern on Earth, if not in the entire Green Lantern corps" Myrath said, as she also realized just how strong the ring was, in the hands of someone like Gwen.
"What happened to Trigon? A being on his level, does not just disappear" Hati asked, looking at Gwen.
"He got burnt by my willpower when I was reciting the Oath. I'm pretty sure I might have destroyed the fragment of him" Gwen said with a smile, as she looked upon them. They all looked at her wide eyed, knowing how strong he was.
"That...he must have been weakened by being within your mindscape" Nabu replied, causing Gwen to nod, having also thought that to be the case. The guy had conquered hundreds, if not thousands of universes for a reason, even if he was a mere fragment of him, he wouldn't have simply died like that in a normal fight. Not that Gwen would have stood a chance either way.
"For now, I think it'll be best if I return to the real world. I've got a new artifact to get used to, a power ring to figure out, and a girlfriend who will either be very happy to see me, or angry that I haven't contacted her...or both" Gwen said, cringing at the end, realizing that it was probably going to be a mixture of both.
"That would be for the best" Nabu said, agreeing to what she had said.
Gwen returned to the real world at those words.
Opening her eyes, she sighed as she realized that she had basically passed out.
Getting to her feet, she looked down to her chain, and low and behold, the helmet was on the left of the helmet of fate, while the Helmet of Chaos was on the right.
She could almost immediately notice the increase in Chaos magic, as well as the sensation of a ring on her ring finger.
'Definitely going to need to get used to that' Gwen thought, looking down at the Green lantern ring, before deciding to look at the notifications she had gotten.

'Not bad. I'll use those once I go back to the Mountain' Gwen inwardly decided. The fact that she had an increase in magic due to basically absorbing the fragment of Trigon, and making it her own, wasn't lost on her. She doubted the system would let it negatively effect her, and now that she looked closer, she did notice the massive increase in pure magical power, and she could feel that her physical capabilities, senses, and probably more, had increased as well. She had even noticed a large increase in aura, force, and chi power as well. 'Definitely going to have to look into what exactly those changes were' Gwen thought, knowing better than to leave anything involving Trigon alone.
'At least now I won't have to worry about him. Not until I go to the comics at least' Gwen thought with a small grin. She was also excited to tell Raven about this, knowing the girl would be happy about it.
Although, explaining that to M'gann and Artemis...yeah she wasn't excited for that one.
Looking to Teekl who was on her shoulder, Gwen smiled "Let's go home" Gwen said, deciding to return to the Mountain after nearly 5 days. She had missed her girlfriend, and very much would like to cuddle with her at the moment.
Looking to the alter, she hummed and lifted her hand. A bolt of pure magic obliterated the alter, causing Gwen to grin as she walked off, ready to finally return home.
[Mount Justice]
Within the Mountain, the team was speaking on their most recent mission. It was their tracking of Sportsmaster and Cheshire, and the drama involving Artemis and Red Arrow, who had returned to the team.
They were arguing with Artemis at the moment, because of her putting a false tracker on a train, while she herself, went after Cheshire alone, more so to protect her than anything. Considering the older woman was her big sister.
"Are you that freaked out about Arrow joining the team you had to prove yourself by bringing down the bad guys solo?" Wally asked, frowning as he looked at Artemis. The rest of the team that did not go on the mission, aka Zatanna, Superboy, and M'gann, were all silently listening
to them.
"Please tell me that I'm wrong" Wally added, causing Artemis to breathe deeply. She was
going to reply, but stopped herself.
"What you've proved is that you're insecure and selfish. Keep the Sai. This is the right souvenir for the mission" Wally said, grabbing the tracker out of Roy's hand.
"So how you will betray us next time?" Roy said with an accusatory tone.
Kaldur was about to respond, before they all heard the sound of the Zeta-tube going off.
Blinking, they all turned to see Gwen walking out with a yawn.
"Hmm? Did I interrupt something?" Gwen asked, noticing the way Roy was glaring at Artemis, and Artemis who looked like she was about to cry.
"Gwen! You're back!" M'gann squealed happily, barrelling into her chest with a wide smile.
Gwen laughed and accepted the hug, making sure the illusion around her finger held. She
didn't want to reveal the ring just yet, afterall.
"I've missed you too, baby" Gwen whispered, pressing a kiss against M'gann's lips, who
giving it to Robin, while he would be able to use it, he wouldn't use it as well as you. Just accept it Artemis" Gwen said, pushing it back into her hands.
Artemis looked at it, before nodding.
"Oh, and you need to bind it to you. I put some safe blocks on the thing, so it can't be stolen or
reverse engineered. All you need to do, is put your finger against the hourglass looking symbol, it'll then be bound to you, and only you" Gwen explained, causing Artemis to nod,
and do as she said.
The tool glowed softly, before stopping, causing Gwen to smile "It's bound to you now. When we do our training tomorrow, I'll give you a lesson on how to use it, and all it's forms" Turning to the rest of the team, she smiled "I'm also in the process of building some new and improved suits for all of you, so be ready for that"
The team smiled at this, as if Gwen can make something like the Proto-tool, they knew that
the suits could be pretty impressive, better than their current ones at least.
"Well, now that that is over with, I believe it would be best for all of us to go and get some sleep. Today has been...draining" Kaldur said, causing the team to nod, and slowly go their separate ways.
"Thank you...really" Artemis said softly, before pecking Gwen dangerously close to her lips, and running off. Pink dusting her cheeks, embarrassed that she just did that.
Gwen chuckled at the cute reaction, before looking to M'gann, the two of them being the only
ones remaining in the room.
"Let's go and get back to our room. I do have a gift for you, afterall" Gwen said with a smile, causing M'gann to smile and walk after her.
Within Gwen's room, Gwen smiled at her girlfriend.
"I was contemplating making something super high tech and cool. But I think something more...real, is better" Gwen said softly, reaching behind her and grabbing a black box, that was hidden away within her symbiote.
Opening the box, M'gann gasped as she looked at the gorgeous necklace laying inside.
"Originally I was going to go with a green diamond or something, but I thought red looked bet-MMph" Gwen was cut off as M'gann slammed her lips against hers. Blinking at it, Gwen returned her kiss. A soft moan escaped M'gann as their kiss deepened.
"So I take it you like it?" Gwen asked, causing M'gann to rapidly nod.
"It-it's beautiful, Gwen" M'gann said softly, looking at it intently. A singular tear leaking out
of her eye, which Gwen softly wiped away.
"Can you put it on me?" M'gann asked, causing Gwen to smile and nod.
Slowly Gwen pulled the necklace onto M'gann's neck, placing a singular kiss to the back of her
neck.
"I love you" Gwen softly whispered, causing M'gann to blush.
"I love you too" M'gann responded, as she leaned into Gwen's chest. Ignoring the fact that
Gwen's breasts were dangerously close to her face, a soft yawn escaping her.
"You tired, baby?" Gwen asked, which M'gann nodded to, burying her face into Gwen's neck.
Gwen just chuckled and lifted her girlfriend, causing M'gann to cling to her like a koala, as Gwen slowly moved them to her bed.
Laying down, Gwen looked at M'gann who was already asleep, causing her to frown 'She didn't sleep much...'
'Looks like she's not able to sleep easily without me' Gwen sighed, a small smile forming on
her face as M'gann clung to her.
Watching her girlfriend sleep, Gwen decided to use some of her character summons. She had
29 at the moment, and decided to use half or so.
'System, use 4 of them, I'll save the rest for the future' Gwen inwardly spoke, deciding not to
use all of them just yet.

Sebastian Shaw | X-men Movies Universe [UL] Sebastian Shaw, aka leader of the Hellfire club. Shaw is a mutant with a powerful unique and powerful ability. Shaw was able to absorb energy in all its forms, is capable of adopting the characteristics of any energy source proportionality augmenting all his physical parameters until finally metabolizing it. This made him extremely difficult to defeat in battle, as all the
kinetic force from an enemy's strike or projectile assaults is another form of energy that would ultimately be nullified while simultaneously strengthening him. Through the use of this ability, he can gain super strength, durability, has self-sustanence through absorbing energy, decelerated aging through this energy, and kinetikinesis. Meaning once he has the energy, he is able to produce and release it in powerful and destructive ways. He can focus it in various ways, including simple bursts, stretching shockwaves, and even concentrated balls. He is also a gifted leader, is multilingual, and is rather intelligent. Includes all helpful/important knowledge and powers. '... That last one is pretty good, as is the first one' Gwen thought, knowing how useful Shaw's ability would be. As with her durability and regeneration, the ability would be quite strong. Jefferson wasn't bad either, as when combined with her other powers, it would be able last longer, be stronger, and more than likely be able to be used in more ways. 'System, go ahead and assimilate those while I sleep' Gwen decided, as she began to get comfortable. Her exhaustion from the events of the day, catching up to her.
Slowly, she allowed to feel the comfort of sleep, while the assimilation began.

(Or just look up Crazedmadman on Patreon and you should find me)
That's the end of the chapter!
Next chapter will probaby be shorter. I plan on her creating some more technology soon, so be
ready for that. The proto-tool is something from Ben 10 that I thought would be useful for
Artemis.
Next chapter will be the talk with the League, and potentially more characters and UL usages. Would y'all want me to add live action versions of characters, even when she already has the
comics version of them? Like Spiderman from the MCU?
Anyways, have a good day, see you tomorrow!
