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.

"Then there's the fact that the farm most people are staying at appears to have been the Kents, once upon a time."

"It was theirs?"

"Any sign what happened to them?"


If Clark is younger than when Hal knew him, Hal has to wonder how he's holding up if they're gone.

"They sold it," she replies simply. "It's owned by someone named Lucy Cooper now. Nice girl. Quiet. Shapeshifts into a dragon."

"That's got to come in handy."

"Sounds like that farm is about as secure as the one we knew."

"With two versions of Clark around, it's getting there," Dinah says. "There's a small community setting up. Run by a single mom with metastrength. You'd like her."

"I guess I'll be trying to stay on her good side, anyway," Hal replies, flashing that kleig-light grin.

Once upon a time, Dinah was a bit of a sucker for that grin. But that was a long time ago and it lasted about a week. Now she's just amused by it.

"Try to stay on everyone's good side. Not just the pretty girls."

Hal shrugs good-naturedly.

"You have to start somewhere."
