Synopsis for "A Beginning"
Green Lantern saves a speeding train from derailing and then visits John Stewart at the hospital. John says he might not walk again due to his nervous system burning out during his fight against Grayven. Kyle thanks John for teaching him how to be a Green Lantern and then heads off to another appointment.
Back on the streets, Kyle takes care of more super-heroics and then returns to his apartment to charge his ring. As he leaves, the Battery starts to glow with yellow energy.
Although late, Kyle arrives at his appointment with Donna. Donna wants to define what to do with her life after walking out of the Darkstars and the Titans. After a long walk and chat, Kyle reassures his love for Donna by creating a heart-shaped collar from his ring energy, saying that as long as he believes in their relationship, the jewel will never fade away. Donna accepts his gift and words, and they reignite their love for each other.
