Rex wasn't pleased when Kyle offered to take Kyira to dinner but Shyira sent the pair off with a smile while holding her son back. It had gone pretty well until someone tried to demolish Kyira again at the restaurant. So much for their quiet night to catch up over dinner.

"I'm starting to think that no one likes having a Thanagarian Green Lantern." Kyira muttered to Kyle as the Thanagarian police escorted the bomber away.

"Thanagar loves you, Kyira. These fools are just radicals from the old ways." Kyle assured, his hands on her shoulders. "And their sentence will be far more since they attacked you, the Thanagar GL."

"I think I ought to go home, Kyle." The wingless she-hawk told her fellow GL. Kyle put his arm around her waist to lead her away.

"Home to your mother and brother?" He shook his head. "Sorry, Kyira, but I don't think that'll do them or you any good. The other Green Lanterns and I are in one of the towers. I'll take you to my place. You'll be safer there. No one would dare attack you with the Corp below, above and on either side of you." Kyle put his hand on her back and felt her tense up. "Kyira, what's wrong? You didn't get hit by any debris. My ring should've…"

"It's something under my skin…it's pulling on my skin from under it…" Kyira bit her lower lip. Kyle glanced at his ring and gently gripped her shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"I'm just going to make sure that you're not just feeling phantom pains from 10 years ago." Kyle's ring glowed, giving him an x-ray of her back. He knew where her scars were and he directed his beam there instantly. "Oh, my God…" He shifted his hand down her arm as his beam ghosted her shoulder and went down her back. "Oh, my God…Kyira, move your left arm…" She rolled her shoulder slowly and Kyle gripped her arm to stop. "We need to get you to a doctor."

"It's a good thing you insisted that Lieutenant Hall-"

"Lantern Hall." Kyira corrected. "My mother's the Lieutenant."

"Of course. Forgive me, you look so much like your mother." The doctor smiled at the Lady Lantern laying on her stomach so the doc could look at her back. "Lantern Rainer, you were in the right when you brought her here. She does indeed have what you said. We're going to run some blood tests and then we'll let you know."

"Thanks, Doc." Kyle shook the Thanagarian doctor's hand before the winged male left. The male Lantern pulled up a seat next to the examination table and took Kyira's hand in his.

"You should go home, Kyle." Kyira told him softly. "I could call my mother and Rex. You need to get some sleep. And your ring needs to be recharged. You've used that ring to protect me all night."

"That night's still young, Ky. I won't leave your side. I swear."
