'You don't pay me enough,' said Arisia.

'I don't pay you at all,' replies Guy, wiping glasses.

'I get paid. From your GL Oan savings funds. I put in lodgement form X74.'

Guy looks upwards and looks at Arisia. 'Breach in Financial Affairs?'

'They accepted it,' replied Arisia. 'You gotta pay your dues.'

Guy kneels down and pulls out a box from underneath the bar. He opens it. It has photos in it.

'This is me and Hal on Oa,' he said. Kilowog came over.

'The guardians censured him for conduct unbecoming a Green Lantern in his business practices on Earth.'

'Too risky with his flying,' said Guy. 'But you know Hal.'

'Yeah,' replied Arisia. 'I know Hal.'

'Well, poozer,' said Kilowog. 'This one's a freebie. But you can buy me a drink.'

Guy pours Kilowog a drink of beer, and they sit at the bar, with Guy behind the bar.

'Something's on your mind, Guy,' said Arisia.

Guy looks at her. 'It's nothing,' he said, looking his ways.

'Guy has his secrets too,' said Kilowog.

'Every Green Lantern has their secrets,' replies Arisia. 'Skeletons, mysteries, history we'd rather forget.'

'I could write a book on that,' smiled Guy.

'We all could,' said Arisia.

'Drink up,' said Guy. 'It's been a hard day, and I might not be around in the morning, so if you can't find me, check the books over for the morning, and you can have the afternoon off. On me.'

'Funny,' replied Arisia.

Guy retires to his bedroom. He takes of his top and puts on a T-Shirt. He sits down at his PC and sighs. 'Computers. Never my strong suit,' he says to himself. He turns it on and it loads up. 'Now how do you get this damn video link to work. I hate Windows 95.' He tinkers, and makes a Video call over the Internet. Ice Maiden answers.

'Guy,' she says.

'Tora,' says Guy.

'Let me guess. You've been busy,' says Tora.

'Lot on my mind,' says Guy.

'Too busy to call your girlfriend? I am your girlfriend, aren't I? Or has Arisia won your heart?'

'Arisia,' replied Guy. He starts to chuckle. 'Me and Arisia have been through a lot, but she's hung up on Hal Jordan. Everyone knows that. Nah, babe. She's just a good employee.'

'Then what is it? What's on your mind.'

Guy looks out the window at the encroaching night and stars.

'Stuff,' replied Guy.

'Stuff,' said Ice. 'What sort of stuff.'

'Complicated stuff.'

'Which you won't talk to me about.'

'Just needed a comforting face,' said Guy. 'Got a feeling something's coming up and I might need to dig deep soon enough. Need to see my gal.'

'If you need the Justice League, Guy, we're always there for you. All for one and one for all kind of thing. Even you know that, Guy.'

'Even I know that,' said Guy. 'Nah, look, don't worry about it. It's something a guy has to do for himself. An adventure the universe has sorted out for me.'

'We all have stuff which is private,' replies Tora. 'But sometimes we need a little help from our friends. Don't forget. Call me if you need help. I'm there for you, Guy. I love you. You know that.'

'Yeh, I know that,' said Guy. He smiled at her, and flicked off the computer. He looked at the stars. 'Something a guy has to do for himself,' and he laid down on his bed, looking at the ceiling a while, before falling asleep.

'Did you find what you were looking for?' asked Kilowog, tinkering with the bar's TV set, as Guy walked in later that week after closing.

'Problems,' said Guy. 'Primal Force knew some answers and things, but Constantine was not much forthcoming when I found him and drilled him on the issue. Matters of knowledge of cosmology come at a price, so he says. And I probably couldn't afford it.'

'What cosmology?' asked Kilowog. 'I know stuff.'

'Yeh, right,' said Guy, taking a seat as Arisia poured him a beer.

'My race knows lots of stuff,' said Kilowog.

'Out with it Guy. What's eating you up?'

'Ever heard of the Millennial Stones?' asked Guy, deciding to come right out with it.

Kilowog raised his eyebrows for a moment, in a ruffled concern, then asked Arisia for a beer.

'We believe in the Presence,' said Kilowog, sipping on his beer. 'Manking often calls it the Spirit. Even the Holy Spirit in religious circles. In Star Wars they call it the Force.'

'That's a galaxy far, far away,' replied Guy. 'Not what I'm concerned about.'

'The Presence fills all things and is the fashioner of life,' said Kilowog. 'It manifests at times, in creation, to represent itself. In humanity it calls itself God a lot of the time, and different things in different cultures. We know it as the Presence. The Presence fashioned out each Galaxy of the Cosmos at the Beginning of things.'

'I guess,' said Guy. 'But religion has never been my strong suit.'

'Well, poozer, to bring aspects to the life to come, there were shaped certain artefacts as the cornerstones of each galaxy. In this one, the Milky Way I guess, there were 1000 objects shaped.'

'The Millennial stones,' said Guy, now taking an interest.

'You got it,' said Kilowog. 'And they are objects of power with different properties. They are the chief prizes for this galaxy and part of what is often called 'The Game' by those in power.'

'And people seek these Millennial Stones,' said Guy.

'Everybody wants to rule the world,' said Kilowog, taking a sip of beer.

'And that's the problem I have,' sighed Guy.

'And why is that?' asked Kilowog, sipping on his beer and turning to look at his buddy.

'Because I might have come into possession of one of these stones, and there might be someone quite powerful who wants it from me.'

Kilowog looked at Guy, a little shocked. Arisia spoke up.

'And that's what's been worrying you?'

Guy nodded. 'It's the main concern at the moment.'

'Ask the Guardians for help,' said Arisia. 'They deal with things like this.'

'Thought about it. But something in me says it's my issue to deal with. Something a guy's gotta do.'

'If the going get too tough,' said Kilowog, 'you know I'm there for you.'

'I know buddy,' replied Guy. 'I know.'
