arrival

A gate opens and slams shut again in an instant as a man in green comes tumbling through, carrying an equally green object in one hand.

Hal Jordan has his in-flight balance back in just over a second, narrowly missing impact with the expressway beneath him. He rights himself in mid-air, and makes a gentle touchdown on... Earth?

Well. It looks like Earth. But his ring is emitting a barrage of tech-speak, all of which could be summed up by a very heated, 'WTF?!?!'.

Not a good sign, Hal figures, but hardly the first time that's happened, so he's far from worried. After all, whatever happens next, he's pretty sure it won't be boring.

"In my defense the world's a mess. I've been a bit busy."

There's a brief period of silence while some satellite data gets checked. "You're just outside of Gotham. I suggest you stay out of the city if you can. There's something dangerous in there that we haven't been able to identify yet."

"He's..." she trails off. "I don't know. I haven't been able to establish contact with the one who should be here. And I can't find any records of him having existed before whatever happened happend."

"I've got the Black Canary en route already." Babs eyes her monitors, "Considering how dead quiet it is out there you might even be able to hear her by now."

"Then I'll let her fill you in. She's got a better feel for the situation on the ground, and..." she pauses, "I've got other things that need my attention."

"Just give a shout if you need me. And, Hal? It's good to have you here."

It really was.
