Bludhaven Goon #1 (BG1): Dude, run! Nightwing's powered have tripled over night!
Bludhaven Goon #2 (BG2): Oh no, what happened? Did something happen in Gotham? Someone gone after Robin?
BG1: I don't know, but we need to- wait what is he doing
BG1: he's straight up glowing I-
BG2: he's lighting up the nightsky-
BG2: ohmygod we're gonna die
Meanwhile Red Lantern! Dick, ranting to Wally on the comms: yeah so Cass took all the hot water while showering then told me to 'deal with it', someone kept hiding pig whoopee cushions that go "oink" in my seats and I can't figure out who, Jasont told everybody my most embarrassing Nightwing debut stories with photographed evidence, Damian tried to kidnap Bitewing thrice and Tim skipped out to go to a party using a stratagem so needlessly elaborate it looked like Jason had designed it, and we all thought someone had kidnapped him! But no, yeah, the visit went well, manor's fine. You know how it is, siblings...

Rose: Hey Jason, how the fuck did you bag Kyle Rayner?
Star Sapphire Jason, whisper-shouting: I don't know what the fuck is going on, he popped in with yellow roses and offered to teach me how to make constructs, don't talk so loud I'm afraid that'll make him realise.
Referrencing these posts:
Jason: *makes a gun construt*
Jason: *makes a shotgun construct*
Jason: *makes a machine gun construct*
Jason: Okay, fine. I understand the appeal.
*****
Jason: *passive aggressively drops a detailed rendition of the Joker's severed head as a construct at Bruce's feet.*
Bruce: And who exactly is fueling your emotion to maintain such a complex construct?
Jason: It's called self-love.
Bruce: Now see, that I will not believe.
****
Jason plays Go Fetch with Dog using construct balls and sticks as practice. It works great, because Jason loves Dog.

Jason: hey Kyle, you don't have to look at them like that, you know I don't have tasers there in that uniform right? I really tried, but the space magic won't let me incorporate most of my Red Hood suit features into it.
Kyle, who definitely was staring at Jason's uniform's boob window : What? I wasn't looking, why would I be looking- wait, your other uniform has tasers where?
*****
Jason: *tries his best to make a flamethrower construct, cannot construct the necessary chemical reaction*
Jason: *tries to make a construct of a book he has been wanting to read but hasn't gotten to yet, the pages are blank.*
Jason: *tries to construct himself a cup of tea and drink it, fails.*
Jason: *tries to construct an actual living breathing cat. Obviously fails.*
Jason: I think God hates me.

Jason, beating Bruce up with a baseball bat construct made out of his love for him: So, my relationship with my dad is going great-

Alternate Lantern Lore explained in this post:
Jaykyle enemies to lovers misunderstanding AU where they hatefuck once during Countdown to Final Crisis and part ways. Jason becomes Star Sapphire from a different mechanism than usual just because he's so powered by love, and forgets to mention it to just about everyone but Carol. Cue a very confused Kyle being accosted by a bunch of curious/angry bats and/or outlaws who think the reason why Jason's struggling with his power (his magic keeps exploding in his face) is because Kyle broke his heart. (It's not, Jason just needs to learn about self-love). Upon learning that, Kyle goes through three different crises in ten minutes and decides that while he still doesn't like Jason he has to "take responsibility" and "make this right" because he thinks Jason loved him and was being defensive of Kyle's hostility and he used and ditched him, so he decides to help Jason with his powers and resolve the situation. Eventually this is what they needed to give eachother a chance and they fall in love, but god does Jason laughs his ass off when he finally learns about the misunderstanding.
(This is part of an AU in which some of the lantern corps work differently for a bunch of reasons, here's a post explaining it:

Kon: Holy shit, Rob, what's with the makeover?
Tim: Um yeah, so I guess I'm a Green Lantern now.
Kon: Well damn, I die and you become a whole new superhero? When did that happen?
Tim: Uh, somewhere between attempts 76 and 88 I think...
Kon: What?
Tim: What?

Arthur Brown: Stephanie? What are you doing in jai-
Steph: *punches him in the throat*
Steph: *kicks him in the shin*

Steph, looking down at the green power ring on her finger: Now where did that come from

Bonus:
Hal, coming back to earth after hearing there's a bunch of new lanterns in the rough that spawned around the same time: So what's been up with Gotham?
Bruce: My blood pressure
Some of my hcs for Lantern!batfam and how they came to be.
Jason: Fuck, I hate you guys so much... All high and mighty, pretending like you give a shit when you keep enforcing a system that's not fucking working...
Tim: hey what's that in the sky?
Dick: God you're such a fucking asshole, if you hate us so much why are you even here?
Jason: Well because some poor fucker has to make sure-
Duke: Jason, watch out!
Jason: *gets knocked out by the sheer extreme speed at which the violet ring flung itself at him.*
****
Tim: Hey Dick, how are you? We heard about that argument you had with Bruce, and reopening old wounds and everything...
Dick: That's sweet, but I'm doing great, don't worry! Punched a bunch of criminals, hung out with friends, now I feel amazing. Of course, if it gets me an excuse to hang out with my little brother...
Tim: Cool, because I'm already breaking into your apartment and I'm -woah, what the fuck is that?
Dick: Oh, you like my new suit?
Tim: what the fuck holy shit is that a red lantern ring? Can you take it off?
Dick: I mean, I think I'll die? It's fine, it's fine, totally cool. Probably someone will have an idea how to fix it if I need to. I'm perfectly calm!

Izzy: Hey Duke, you feeling good about physics?
Duke: Wait what's in physics?
Izzy: The test...? That's gonna count for like half our grade...?
Duke, who meant to study this weekend but spent it sleeping off opioids after Croc nearly entirely gnawed off his foot: Ah, right, the test. It's going to be fine! I've figured stuff out with worse odds.
Izzy: If you say so! Hey what's that hovering ominously around you?
Duke, absent-mindedly pocketing a blue ring: hold on a second, gotta dip, Dick is texting me he needs help. You'll never guess what stupid shit he's gotten himself into.

Damian: Jordan! I challenge you in combat for the right to your ring!
Hal: Eh, kid... You really need a green lantern ring?
Damian: I shall prove I am as worthy of this honour as the rest of my fami- will you quit gazing off? What are you staring at?
Hal: *wordlessly points at the indigo ring floating behind him*
Damian: oh.
