#Dan still sees Hazz as his Big Sister

[bet-on-me-13]

Okay but these parallels are incredible.

If we go with the explanation given in the Replies, all of Jazz's loved ones are Dead. Just like Dan.

And Jazz took all the Grief and Sorrow of losing her entire Family, and funneled it into pure Rage at the ones responsible. Just like Dan.

Except where Dan didn't have anyone to direct that Rage towards, Jazz does. Dan took his Rage out on the world, Jazz took it out on the ones who killed her Family.

But guess what? Dan is still around. Post AGIT he got placed in a younger Body and raised by Vlad on a path of redemption, finally letting go and moving on from all the Pain and Sorrow and Rage that had clouded his Heart for so many years.

So how would he react to seeing his Big Sister suffer through almost the exact same Thing? His loving Big Sister, who raised him more than their parents did. The Big Sister who patched him up when he came home from fights hurt. His Big Sister who held incredible rage in her Heart but always kept it locked away the the sake of the people around her.

His Big Sister, who he had already lost once before. Who accepted him even after seeing what he had become, and helped him work through his own rage after he began to seek redemption.

He needs to help his Sister. He doesn't know if he can bear seeing her hurt so much, so he needs to help her the same way she helped him.

Jazz, for some reason or the other, becomes a wielder of a red lantern ring. After going on her rampage and getting her revenge, she realizes that the feeling of rage won't go away. Instead of letting the anger destroy her, she decided to do something else with it.

That's how we end up with a stand-off between Hal Jordan and the most powerful Red Lantern he's ever seen. Because...

"What... what did you just say?"

The young woman smiled gently at him. He would've been fooled by it if not for the burning rage carefully hidden... No, she wasn't hiding anything behind those turquoise eyes. It was taking everything she had to hold it back.

"I said that I would like to join The Justice League." Her voice was soft and velvety. Comforting in a way that sends chills up his spine.

"But you're a Red Lantern."

There was a beat of silence, she cocked her head to the side while looking at the blood-red ring on her finger.

"I don't know what that means, but I'm guessing it's got something to do with this ring?"

Hal didn't respond but she took it as confirmation. There was silence between them once more before Jasmine sighed and continued.

"I feel angry, more than angry. This rage that I've been holding inside for so long has reached its limits and is finally bubbling over. Everything that I loved is gone so killed what took it away from me. But... but I'm still SO FUCKING ANGRY!"

She was screaming now. Tears of rage and sadness rolled down her cheeks as violent red energy radiated from her being. Hal flew back. He didn't want to fight her but was ready to do so if it came to it.

Just as easily as she lost it she pulled herself together, wiping her tears away, returning to her previously calm demeanor. It freaked Hal out.

"I... I know that blind rage without direction leads to meaningless destruction. I don't want to hurt anybody. No... I don't want to hurt the wrong people. I'm asking you to guide me, to guide my rage in the right direction... Please."
