Red vs Green

Lila Rossi is free and may have the power of a Red Lantern Ring helping her quest for revenge upon Ladybug, but luckily she has her Green Lantern dad and the Dark Knight to help her out.

Work Text:

Thunder boomed outside the asylum as Lila let out another blood-curding shriek of rage, clawing at the padded walls. "FUCKING SHIT! THIS ISN'T FAIR! I DON'T BELONG HERE! I WANT OUT! I WANT OOOOOUUUTTTTT!" She sank down onto her knees. " I don't deserve this...!"

"Shut the fuck up!" An orderly shouted. "Pipe down in there, you little psycho!"

"YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Lila roared back, glaring at him through the bars. "WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE, YOU'LL BE THE FIRST TO DIE!" She spun around and faced heavenwards. "GOD, GIVE ME A SIGN! LET ME HAVE MY REVENGE!" Suddenly, a red glow flew towards the window and crashed through it, stopping in front of Lila. "The fuck...?"

"Lila Rossi of Earth. You have great rage in your heart. Welcome to the Red Lantern Corps." The crimson ring shone ominously as the sausage-haired girl took it, sliding it onto her finger. Then a bright red light engulfed her, a scream ringing out from her cell as the door exploded, sending it flying.

"What the fuck?!" The orderly shouted as he shielded his face from the shock wave. He moved his arm down and saw Lila, standing in front of him in all her terrifying Red Lantern glory. Her eyes were ruby red, her asylum uniform was replaced with the Red Lantern uniform, and her ring glowed with an awesome power. "Oh, god. Oh, no..."

"Oh, yesss...." She grinned evilly as she stomped towards him. "Oh, I told you that you were going to die..." Lila giggled as the red ring created a claw construct on her arm, flexing her fingers as she enjoyed the look on his terrified face. "Oh, the things that I am going to do to you..."

"No...No...NOOOOOOOOOO!" The orderly screamed as Lila charged at him, screaming bloody murder.

Marinette sighed as she turned off her browser and leaned forwards in her lawn chair, looking at Damian play with Titus. She smiled widely, giggling. Damian turned to face her, and blushed slightly. "What is it, Angel?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing, just looked at something funny on Twitter." The blue-eyed girl smiled at him. "So, Dami, um, about the other day..."

Suddenly, a green light landed down in between them, dying down and revealing Hal in his Green Lantern uniform. "Hey, sunshine! Sorry to interrupt, but we gotta go! It's super important!"

"Papa Hal!" Marinette protested angrily, but was cut off as Hal encased her in a bubble and flew off, carrying an angry Marinette pounding on the construct from the inside. Hal looked back at her with a reassuring look. "You'll thank me later!" He mouthed at her.

Soon, the two were back at Hal's home, the brown-haired man rushing inside and dispelling the bubble around Marinette, who prepared to launch a tirade at him. Hal held up his hands in defense. "Okay, before you go off on me, sweetheart, I need to tell you something. The little sausage-haired nutjob is loose."

"Lila?" Marinette blurted out. "How did she get out?! I thought we put her in a secure place?"

"Remember Sinestro and his Yellow Lanterns?" Hal replied, choosing his words carefully. "Yeah, His corps and mine are a part of the Emotional Spectrum, A rainbow of emotional energy that's channeled through the rings. Aunt Carol is a part of the Violet Lantern corps, called the Star Sapphires. There's nine Lantern Corps out in space, and the Lila brat has the most dangerous one of them all. She's a Red Lantern."

"...What?" Marinette looked at him, her face blank.

"A Red Lantern, they're vicious, bloodthirsty avengers that are charged by rage and kill their wrongdoers and people who wrong others. They're not very good people." Hal then heard his phone ring as he pulled it out and answered it. "Hey, what's up?"

"Jordan." Bruce's growling voice rang into his ears. "Why did you take Marinette away from the manor?"

"Green Lantern emergency, Spooky. Took her with me for safe-keeping." Hal rolled his eyes.

"She would've been safe in the manor."

"Oh, bullshit, man! Clearly you haven't dealt with a Red Lantern before."

"I am aware of the Lantern Corps, Jordan. I can handle one rogue Lantern."

Hal snorted loudly. "Like you handled Sinestro's mess?"

"Sinestro is your enemy, Hal. Not mine. Besides, Lila Rossi isn't experienced enough to handle a Lantern Ring."

"I'd like to see you tell the little murder moppet that, Spooks." Hal rolled his eyes. "God, you Bats think you can handle everything with a little bit of prep time."

"Preparation is key, Jordan. It makes all the difference when it comes to life or death." Bruce snarled. "Unlike your method of charging into a situation blind."

"Whatever, Brucie-baby. Go back to beating up your bad guys and donating your bucks to the needy, and leave the Lantern stuff to me. Buh-bye." Hal hung up and looked at Marinette, who was still glaring at him. "...What?"

"Papa Hal, you didn't even let me finish what I was going to say to Damian!" The black-haired girl huffed.

"Oh, c'mon, sunshine! You can use your phone!" Hal protested. "It's too dangerous to go out right now! That Lila girl is looking for you! She's got a Lantern Ring powered by rage and fury! She's going to kill you!"

"She tried to kill me two times." Marinette deadpanned.

"Yeah, because she wasn't powered by a Lantern Ring!" Hal frowned at her. "Now she is, and I'm telling you that it's way too risky to go back out! You'll be safe with your Papa Hal and his friends, and we'll handle the little sausage faster than you can say-"

"LADYBUG!!!" A booming, feminine voice roared outside the apartment, causing both father and daughter to go on edge.

"Tikki, spots on!" Marinette transformed into her Ladybug outfit just in time as Lila crashed through the wall, glowing with red energy. She was seething and glaring at the two heroes. "Ladybug... Green Lantern..." Lila hissed, glowing eyes narrowed as she stood in front of them. "I've finally found you... I've been looking everywhere for you..."

"Oh my god, what are you wearing?" Ladybug blurted out. "Your outfit looks so absolutely gaudy."

"THAT'S IT?!" Lila shouted, growling. "THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY TO ME?! AFTER ALL THE TIMES I'VE SUFFERED, AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN THROUGH, AFTER THE HUMILIATION I'VE BEEN DEALT WITH?! NO TREMBLING?! NO SCREAMING?! NO 'Please don't kill me, Lila!'?! NO BEGGING FOR YOUR LIFE?! JUST THAT MY OUTFIT LOOKS GAUDY?!" Lila then threw her head back and screamed in pure rage.

"Time to go!" Hal grabbed Marinette and flew off through the hole in the wall. Lila quickly snapped out of her rage and saw them fleeing. "GET BACK HERE!" She then took off after them, red energy streaming after her wake.

"Papa Hal, where are we going?!" Marinette shouted.

"To the rendezvous point!" Hal shouted back, flying faster than ever before, towards a green beacon in the mountains. He glanced back at a pursing Lila, who was screaming after them. "That's right, kid, just follow the glowing ball..."

Soon, Hal reached the rendezvous, where his fellow Lanterns were waiting. "She's right behind me, guys! Get ready!" He landed down and set his daughter beside him. Marinette huffed and shook her head. "Will someone tell me what's going on?" She demanded.

"Lila got a Red Lantern Ring and joined their corps." Arisia explained. "She's basically gone berserk and crazy, but she hasn't quite gotten a handle on her powers yet. We're here to imprison her and take away her ring so she won't hurt anyone and herself."

Marinette relaxed and nodded. "Oh, okay. I get it now."

Hal sputtered in a mix of bemusement and frustration. "I just said- but how does Arisia- Why does her-"

"Get with it, Jordo!" Guy snapped. "Stick to the plan!"

"Kiss my ass, Gardner!" Hal snapped.

John stepped forwards, his ring shining. "She's coming. Get your rings ready, people."

Lila roared as she neared the Lanterns, her arms covered in claw constructs. She descended down towards them, snarling. "YOU FUCKING GREEN SHITS! YOU WON'T STOP ME FROM KILLING LADYBUG! I'LL KILL YOU ALL FIRST!" She threw her head back and spewed out red plasma from her mouth.

Hal quickly put up a barrier, blocking the burning, steaming flow. "Jesus, why did the ring have to pick her of all people?"

"Gross..." Marinette winced at the sight.

Lila panted as she shook her head. "Oh, I'm just getting started." She then summoned a swarm of hideous, crimson, flying bug monsters from her ring, rushing at the others. "KILL THEM ALL! EAT THEIR REMAINS!" Arisia summoned a swarm of scarab-sized ladybugs to counter Lila's swarm. The bugs began to tear each other apart, red versus green. Hal just gave her a look. "What?" Arisia replied, giving him a confused expression back.

"That's my girl, Risia!" Guy shouted as he summoned his giant ladybug construct, rushing towards Lila. Lila responded by leaping towards it and crushing its head with one of her big claws, then proceeded to literally tear it to pieces. "FUCK! NOT MARIANNE!" Guy wailed. "COME ON!"

"YOU FUCKING NAMED IT?!" Hal shouted at him, annoyed.

"I got this poozer's number right here!" Kilowog shouted as he summoned a giant macaron, rolling towards Lila. The Red Lantern spun around and dove at it, tearing the construct apart as well. Kilowog growled. "Sprocking little...!"

"WHY ARE YOU GUYS USING THE SAME DAMN CONSTRUCTS?! JUST USE SOMETHING ELSE!" Hal shouted, as he summoned a dragon construct and sent it to attack Lila, who responded in kind by summoning a giant tiger-like monster, the beasts charging at each other, clashing fiercely.

Marinette sighed, holding her face in her hands. "Ugh... Can't we just take the ring from her?" She asked.

"We got someone to take care of it, Mari." John replied, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Just hang tight. This won't take long." He summoned a tank, shooting out green energy and blasting the rest of Lila's constructs.

"DIE, YOU FUCKS! JUST DIE!" Lila roared, her hair billowing behind her wildly. "I WANT LADYBUG! I WANT HER TO SUFFER LIKE HOW I DID! I WANT HER TO EXPERIENCE THE PAIN OF MY BROKEN SOUL!"

"Oh, my god." Marinette shook her head, glaring at Lila. "Just stop being a fucking drama queen already!"

"DON'T YOU FUCKING CURSE AT ME, YOU FUCKING DIVA BITCH!" Lila turned to scream at her, which proved to be her undoing when a giant, robotic hand knocked her down from the side, sending her tumbling on the dirt. Kyle floated down with Saint Walker in tow. "Hey, guys, sorry I'm late!" He waved at them.

"Thank fucking god," Hal sighed in relief. "I'm so glad Walker's here."

"All will be well, Hal Jordan." Saint Walker spoke in a serene tone.

Lila's eyes went wide and she unleashed a blood-curdling scream of pure rage, then she vomited out a big stream of hot, acidic plasma like a flame thrower, spreading it all over. "SHIELDS!" Hal roared, every Green Lantern channeling their energy to create a barrier to protect themselves from Lila's wrath. Hal grimaced as the bubble around him and Marinette began to slowly break. "Fuck, fuck, fuck!" The brunette hissed.

"Lantern!" Ladybug shouted.

Lila stormed forwards, still spewing out her breath weapon at the Green Lanterns.

"HAL! OVER HERE, MAN!" Simon shouted as he opened up his barrier. "GET IN!" Hal grabbed Marinette and went inside the dome. Lila turned around and blasted Simon's dome, red eyes blazing. Guy shook his head at the scene.

"Fucking little shit!" The redheaded Lantern snarled, watching his own barrier getting broken down. "Rayner better think of something quick!"

"C'mon, Kyle...!" Hal clenched his fists, looking at the dark-haired Lantern, who was looking at Lila with a studying look. "What are you waiting for...?"

Kyle then turned to the others. "Guys, drop your barriers!" He called out.

"WHAT?!" Hal roared back.

"Just trust me!" Kyle shouted.

"This better work!" Jessica cried out, lowering her barrier at the same time the rest did. Lila growled and prepared to unleash more of her wrath upon them... Until she found herself surrounded in a bubble. "YOU FUCKS!" She roared, pounding on the construct, but it was too strong for her to even break through, even with her rage. "FUCK!"

"Serves you right!" Arisia shouted, hands on her hips. "That's what you get for being a spoiled brat!"

"I WILL EAT YOUR ENTRAILS FOR DESSERT!" Lila screamed, her claws trying to pierce her prison. " I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU ALL!" She bashed her head against the green bubble, howling.

"Geez, she reminds me of Bakugo." Kyle shook his head. "Actually, come to think of it, I'm glad he's not real. I don't want to imagine him blowing up things as a Red Lantern."

"Who the hell is Bakugo?" Hal groaned, then shook his head. "On second thought, I do NOT want to know. Let's just get this ring off of this crazy psycho bitch." Saint Walker stepped forward, his blue ring shining. "If you please, Kyle Rayner. I will remove the ring from this child."

"Papa Hal, who's he?" Ladybug whispered to him, pointing at Walker.

"He's the leader of the Blue Lanterns, the opposite of the Reds. He can remove their rings without harming them. Trust me, kiddo, Lie-la is gonna go back to prison." Hal whispered back.

"Don't you fucking dare! You stay away from me! You hear me?!" Lila growled, backing against the wall of the green bubble construct, glaring at the Blue Lantern with hatred in her eyes. "This ring is mine! It's my tool for precious revenge! I will not let you take it from me!"

"Give it up, Lila! You're just worthless!" Ladybug snapped.

Lila just stood there, eyes wide as she heard the word 'worthless' ring in her head. The lady bitch didn't even consider her worth wasting her precious time on. She was nothing but a mere footnote to her precious story. "Not worthless..." She mumbled, shaking her head. "I'm not worthless..." Her fingers twitched and shook as she breathed hard and fast. "Not worthless, not worthless, not worthless..." Red energy was swarming around her.

"Oh, shit." John took a step back.

"I AM NOT WORTHLESS!" Lila let out a booming screech, the bubble exploding apart as an intense crimson light burst forth through the heavens as she zoomed towards Marinette, grabbing her by the shoulders as they flew towards east.

"NO!" Hal roared, his ring shining with power. "I'M COMING, SUNSHINE! PAPA HAL IS GONNA SAVE YOU!" He took off after Lila like a man possessed, bearing on the red trail that she was leaving behind.

"Wait for us, Jordo!" Guy and the rest flew after him.

"Let me go!" Marinette grunted, trying to free herself from Lila.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, LADYBUG!" The Red Lantern bellowed. "I'M TAKING YOU TO SEE YOUR PRECIOUS ROBBIE! SO THAT HE'LL BE SO BROKEN UPON ME KILLING YOU THAT HE'LL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FALL INTO MY ARMS!"

"That ring is making you even more crazier than I thought!" Ladybug snapped, glancing down to see Gotham coming ahead. "And you're going to be sorry that you tried to kidnap me!"

"FUCK YOU!" Lila screeched as she descended down towards the Gotham streets and flew past the moving cars, ignoring the screaming drivers. "FUCK THIS CITY! FUCK THESE PEOPLE! IN FACT, FUCK IT ALL TO HELL!" She stopped and raised an arm, creating a horde of monstrous constructs that began to rampage throughout the streets. Lila burst into wicked laughter at the sight.

"Stop it, Lila!" Marinette shouted, earning her a slap from the sausage-haired girl in response. "SHUT UP! YOU'RE GOING TO BE LAST, YOU BITCH!"

Suddenly, there was a gunshot and Lila screamed in pain, dropping Marinette to the ground as she held her arm, the rubber bullet falling onto the asphalt.

"Step away from the Pixie Pop, and you won't get hurt." Red Hood emerged from the shadows, holding his gun.

Marinette quickly righted herself and formed her own Lantern ring, aiming it at Lila. "You heard him!" Lila snarled and spewed out plasma at her, but Ladybug used a trampoline construct to jump out of the way.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!" Lila roared.

"You'll kill nothing, you little twerp." Red Hood snapped as he fired off another rubber bullet at Lila, who managed to dodge it, and turned towards him, snarling. "I'm going to tear you to pieces, you red bastard!" Lila created her claw constructs and leapt at Jason, but she was kicked to the side by Red Robin, who flung batarangs at her.

Lila swatted them away and snarled, her eyes flashing red. "You fucking Bats! I'm going to do this city a favor slaughtering everything in it, including you!"

"Yeah, I'm afraid I can't let you do that," Nightwing dropped down behind her, escrima sticks out. "This is our home, and I'd appreciate it if you didn't mess it up, thanks."

Robin then dropped down, a glare on his face. "You will not hurt Ladybug." He drew out his katana and pointed it at her.

"LADYBUG, LADYBUG, LADYBUG!" Lila stomped her foot, enraged. "ALL I HEAR IS FUCKING LADYBUG! FUCK HER! THERE'S NOTHING SPECIAL ABOUT HER! SHE'S NOTHING BUT A JOKE COMPARED TO ME! I'M THE BEST, THE FUCKING GOLD STANDARD! I DESERVE THE PRAISE SHE'S GOTTEN! I WANT THAT FAME!"

"You're already infamous, kid. I'd say you succeeded." Red Hood snorted. "You did just kill an asylum guard."

"HE WAS AN ASSHOLE! HE TREATED ME LIKE I WAS A CRIMINAL!" Lila screamed.

"You are a criminal." Red Robin replied, dodging an extended claw attack from Lila.

"YOU SHUT UP!" The Red Lantern screeched, then used a tentacle construct to bind Damian in its grasp and flew off with him in tow. "Let's go, Robbie!" Damian struggled in his bonds, glaring at her. "Unhand me, you madwoman!"

"LADYBUG! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE! I GOT ROBBIE WITH ME, AND I'M GOING TO DO THE NAUGHTY THINGS THAT RUN THROUGH MY MIND TO HIM IF YOU DON'T COME OUT!" Lila yelled, floating above the plaza. "COME OUT RIGHT NOW!"

"Lila! Let him go!" Marinette called out, standing on one of the building's rooftops with her hands on her hips.

Lila landed down on the roof, Damian behind her. "I'm so glad you listened to me, Ladybitch. Robbie-kins, be a dear and get cozy for me. This is gonna get a bit...messy." The sausage-haired girl grinned wickedly, flexing her construct's fingers. Ladybug then made a bokken construct from her ring, going into a fighting pose.

"Ready to die, Ladybitch?" Lila cooed with sweet malice.

"Bring it, Rossi." Marinette growled.

The two girls rushed at each other, Marinette taking the first strike as her sword struck Lila on the side, sending her stumbling. But the Red Lantern quickly recovered and made a swipe at her, causing Ladybug to jump back and roll away. Lila then launched a frenzied assault upon the dark-haired girl, who blocked most of her strikes with her blade. A few scrapes managed to make tears in her outfit, however.

"Angel!" Damian shouted, concerned.

Marinette jumped into the air, landing an overhead strike upon Lila's head, but she caught it with her claws, gripping it. "Gotcha, bitch." Lila sneered, grinning evilly. "What are you gonna do now-FUCK!" Lila reeled back, her forehead aching from the hidden marble that Marinette threw at her. "YOU FUCKING SNEAKY-ASS WHORE!"

"Wow, can't believe that ninja trick worked. Huh." Marinette snickered, looking at Lila growling and shaking her head. "Got anymore clever lines, Lie-La?"

Lila clenched her teeth and roared, lunging at Marinette, who changed her sword into a bo staff, and vaulted over Lila and smacked her ass with one end of the staff, making her scream in pain. "YOU-" She was interrupted by another smack from the bo staff, this time from the other end. "OWWW!"

"What's wrong, Rossi? I thought you were going to get revenge on me? Maybe you should've stayed in that nuthouse." Marinette blew a raspberry at her.

Lila then roared, changing her claw constructs into arm machine gun cannons, firing wildly at Marinette, who dodged and deflected the blasts with her bo staff. She made her way towards Damian, looking at him in concern. "You okay, Robin?" She asked.

"I am now," Robin replied. He then looked at Lila, who was aiming her arm cannon at Marinette's head. "Angel, look out!"

"STAY AWAY FROM MY ROBBIE-POO!" Lila roared, preparing to fire...

But a batarang hit her cannon, making her turn to face an angry Batman. "I believe that's my line." He growled. "Let him go."

"FUCK YOU, YOU BAT FREAK!" Lila screeched, changing her cannons into overly-large gauntlets, lunging at Batman wildly, throwing punches at him. "YOU'RE NOTHING UNDER THAT STUPID FURSUIT! NOTHING!" She grunted as she watched him dodge her attacks, glaring daggers at him.

"And you have no idea on handling your ring." He coldly responded. "You are a loose cannon, relying on sheer raw power to overcome your opponents. You will lose control if you keep up in this berserk state."

"I'LL SHOW YOU BERSERK!" Lila threw herself at him, screaming bloody murder. Batman, however, stood still as he let Lila run towards him. As soon as she got close, he pressed a button on his gauntlet, and braces flew from his boots and latched themselves around Lila's legs, causing her to fall onto her face. He pulled out a pair of box-like cuffs and placed her hands into them, shutting the lids closed.

"You fucking ASSHOLE!" Lila shrieked, flailing about as Batman then sprayed knock-out gas into her face, making her loose control of her constructs, letting Robin free. Marinette scooped him up in a hug, smiling. Damian slowly returned the hug.

"Angel... I-" He began, but was interrupted by flying green and blue lights heading towards the roof as Hal and his team landed. "Well, well, well. Look who it is. Spooky McSpookerton." Hal raised an eyebrow. "I gotta give you credit, Bats. You did manage to handle her."

"I told you before, Lantern. I can handle one rogue Lantern." Batman's tone had a hint of smugness in it. "You're welcome to pick her up and put her back where she belongs."

"Fine, Spooky. I'll just do that and get Ladybug-"

"No." Batman hissed. " You can take Rossi. Ladybug will spend the night with me."

"Oh, c'mon, Spooky! For fuck's sake, You already had time with her!" Hal whined.

"That was before you dragged her off into your business. She's back in my city now, so she can go back to the manor to have some of Alfred's cooking." Bruce simply stated.

Meanwhile, Saint Walker used his ring to remove the red ring off of Lila's finger, letting it fly away from her. Lila was back in her asylum uniform and a moan escaped her lips. "The rage has left her. She is cleansed of her anger." The Blue Lantern clasped his hands together. "All is well."

"Whew!" Kyle sighed. "I'm glad it's all over."

"Me too..." Jessica sighed, shaking her head. "I really don't want to deal with a kid Red Lantern."

Simon nodded. "Yeah, she's too much for me."

Arisia was at Marinette's side, repairing her torn outfit with her ring. "There we go!" The blonde alien chirped. "Good as new." Marinette giggled as Kilowog picked her up and hugged her. "Uncle Kilowog's proud of you, little poozer."

"Uncle Kilowog!" Marinette squeaked, blushing.

"Aww, look at big ol' Woggy-Doggy." Guy snickered at the scene.

"Shut it, Gardner. Don't make me come over there." Kilowog growled.

"Does this mean the macarons are safe?" Iolande asked.

"Don't you even think about stealing my little poozer away." The giant Lantern narrowed his eyes at the princess, who pouted.

Hal groaned, shaking his head. "Someone give her a lifetime supply of the damn cookies so she'll stop obsessing over them..."

John sighed and placed Lila in a bubble. "I'll take her in. I'll see you guys later." He flew off with Lila in tow, leaving the rest behind him. Hal just sighed, and Bruce and Damian let out annoyed grunts.

Marinette was sitting in a chair in the Wayne's den, relaxing and drawing a picture on her book. She then placed it down and pulled out her cell, smiling.

Snugbug @littleladybird
