Chapter Text
He was going again. Carol thought as she watched him sigh and stumble out of her bed. He always sighed when Oa called. She watched him curiously as he cursed and looked for his pants and his shirt, the dark haired woman held in a laugh as he stumped his toe. He hated the dark.
"Why don't you use your ring?" She asked and Hal jumped, turning around and glaring at her as he lit up the room.
"...I didn't want to wake you." He grumbled and her lips quirked up as she held the sheet over her chest.
"Hal, I woke up the minute you got out of bed." She said and the green lantern sighed.
"Oa called. I have to go in." He grumbled and she nodded.
"I know. I'm sure I'll have to go in sometime soon." She mumbled as she leaned back against the headboard and watched him as he got ready. She knew another little piece of her heart would go with him. It always did when he had to leave.
"How long do you think?"
"Couple of weeks? I'm not sure. Classified mission that they wanted to talk about there. Urgent from what I gathered." He said with a shrug as he suited up and leaned over to her, smiling as his brown eyes stared into her blue ones.
"I'll be back, Carol." He whispered and she smiled as she tangled her fingers into his hair and kissed him, long and slow.
"I'll know. I'll be seeing you, Highball. Stay safe." She whispered and Hal saluted her as he headed towards the window.
"Always. I'll be back, Sapphire."
Carol watched him fly into the sky with a sigh and smiled as she recalled the feeling of his lips on hers. Yes, she would be seeing him soon because Hal Jordan always came back to her and he always would.
