But it'll make me a little cranky. Well, well, the great and glorious Green Lantern. What, did you run out of alien menaces to beat on, you have to horn in on my turf?
Green LanternYou're welcome. We never heard back from you.
Been kind of busy. Someone's gotta keep the streets safe while you and your pals are out...
Green Lantern
Ready.
...zipping around the galaxy... grandstanding and...
Green Lantern
And where am I, exactly?
Among friends. Each of you brings something different to the table. Strength. Speed. Stealth. Whatever. But we're all equal in at least one way: Each of us is willing to make the sacrifices a hero needs to make, even the ultimate one. Since there are so many of us, we have a chance to do more than just put out fires, both literal and figurative. We can be proactive. We can do some real good in the world. But we're going to have to be organized. J'onn'll be up here keeping an eye on everything. He'll be the one to decide whose going where and when. I know a lot of you are used to making those decisions for yourself, but from now on we have to be more coordinated than that. We can't be cowboys any more... or cowgirls.
So, aren't you gonna give me the "you did good" speech?
Green Lantern
You're headstrong, unprofessional and reckless. If you ever jeopardize yourself or your teammates again by running off half-cocked without a battle plan, I will personally see to it that you are kicked out of the League, I don't care who your cousin is. [He turns and begins to leave] And incidentally, you did good.
You sure he's gonna be okay?
Green Lantern
He should be. J'onn's team picked him up right after it happened, so he didn't lose much of his energy.
At least he got a new suit out of it. So aren't you gonna give me the "you did good" speech?

[Showers/locker room area]
Well, if it isn't the monster-killer.
I was lucky. So was everybody else. Still don't think I belong up here.
That's the point. Someone like you will keep us honest.
Gee, Bats, I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good radiation burn as much as the next guy, but I don't think...
[Loses his train of thought as he sees Black Canary across the room, pulling up her boots.]
GKGeneral Kwan
I told you to stay away!
Hey, I'm just trying to help!
GKGeneral Kwan
I told you before the situation is completely under con--
Green Lantern
Looks like I just can't help boarding in.
There's some people at the cliff.
Green Lantern
Go! Go!
There was too much energy.
Well, there's always the low tech way.
I shove these carbon rods into the robot's reactor. That should stop it.
I gotta say, that's not much of a plan. If you get that close, the heat'll fry you. :Captain Atom: I know.
If this doesn't work, contact the League. They'll know what to do next.
Roger. Hey! Butane breath!
[Captain Atom screams]
[Captain Atom screams]
BBlockbuster
Pound their heads!
CCopperhead
I won't go down easy.
Green Lantern
Sure, you will. Guess that's a wrap. Sorry. Been hanging out with Flash too much.
CCopperhead
It was Judgment Day! And we got sent to the bad place! THE BAD PLACE!
CCheetah
[slaps him] Snap out of it, Copper.
Green Lantern
Yeah, calm down. We're probably just in another dimension.
CCopperhead
[sarcastic] Oh, is that all?
I don't see any children.
That's because a child is responsible.
My son Mordred has wrought this treachery, banishing all adults to this shadow realm. Even me, his own mother. And after I spent millennia feeding him, bathing him, preparing him to be king... where did I go wrong?
You're a sorceress. Can't you just undo his spell?
No. He's got the amulet of first magic. He's too powerful. But if we all work together..
You want us to defeat your own son?
So don't trust me. Let him rule the world and all your children. Here we will stay. Forever.
But what can we do? We're stuck here, aren't we?
Not exactly. The spell only banishes adults.
Green Lantern
I don't like where this is going.
[[John Stewart exhales]
[Morgaine Le Fay speaking foreign language]
[Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern have been turned into children.]
This better be temporary.
You sound weird, Whoa. So do I!
[Grinning at being the tallest] I kind of like this.
[to Green Lantern] What's the matter?
Kid Green Lantern
I wore glasses as a kid. Guess I need them again. [large, square, green glasses appear on his nose] Wow! I didn't even try to make these!
[Superman cracks up]
[Green Lantern strains and morphs the glasses into a mask]
[smacks him] Will you stop messing around? We gotta find Mordred!
Bet the little punk's in there! [runs towards the castle. Green Lantern, Superman, and Wonder Woman all quickly overtake him by flying] It's not a race!
Etrigan! You stop right there. I mean it! You naughty monster. Bad, bad, Etrigan. [Etrigan starts to cry. Wonder Woman picks him up] Hey little guy, it's okay, I won't hurt you.
You've got to be kidding.
He's just a baby. [Burps Etrigan] That's all he needed.
Kid Green Lantern
[sniffs] Aww man, that ain't all she needs.
Now that is a job for Superman.
SSkeets
Sir, according to my thermal sensor readings of Dr. Simmons, you just missed a prime opportunity to... well, I believe the phrase is, "kiss the girl."
BGBooster Gold
Kissing girls is for heroes, Skeets.
Nice work, Elongated Man.
Green Lantern
That was just about the slickest move I've ever seen.
EMElongated Man
Hey, it was a team effort. I'm just glad I stretched in the right place at the right time.
BGBooster Gold
Back to normal, huh?
Mordru's magic was nullified when he lost consciousness. I thought I told you to stay on crowd control.
BGBooster Gold
I know, but... there was this... I mean, you wouldn't believe it... it almost.. [pauses on seeing Batman narrowing his eyes] ah, forget it.
You and I are gonna have a little chat later. [walks away]
BGBooster Gold
[sarcastic] Looking forward to that.
You cannot keep me from my goal.
Green Lantern
I'm not impressed.
Why have you come back? What do you want?
Why do you ask questions you already know the answer to?
We're not gonna give him up.
He's your enemy. You owe him nothing.
I have evolved far beyond what I was when we last met. You do not want to challenge me.
Green Lantern
LIGHT HIM UP!
[The First Line attacks]
KRKyle Rayner
We're gonna use every bit of power left in our rings and take one last shot at the android.
Green Lantern
A blast like that could destroy half the planet.
KRKyle Rayner
Half a planet is better than none.
[in the Watchtower]
Hmmm, those words are always used to justify destruction.
We can only guess how much power the android has amassed as it has worked it's way across the galaxy. It has to be stopped, Fate. Here and now. Not just for the sake of this world, but for all worlds.
Then for the sake of all worlds, I will continue to seek a better way.
Green Lantern
He murders an entire world, and it's over? Just like that? I don't think so!
I did not destroy Oa - I simply moved it to another dimension. [everyone stares] It was in my way.
Then could you move it back?
[Amazo's eyes glow briefly]
Shhhh, it's okay. I know what you want. What you need. Close your eyes.
That's long enough. I'm going in after her.
R1Reporter #1
Hawkgirl, do you think today's act can possibly make up for your complicity in the Thanagarian invasion of Earth?
R2Reporter #2
Do you have a comment on your dismissal from the Justice League?
Green Lantern
Hawkgirl was never dismissed from the League. She can come back whenever she likes.
[The vote to keep Shayera in the league or not is revealed.]
Green Lantern
I recused myself, because... well... anyway, Superman broke the tie.
I believe in second chances. I believe in redemption. But mostly... I believe in my friends.
Green Lantern
[as several onlookers jeer Shayera] Back off! She doesn't have to take that from you people!
Yes, I do. But it's okay. I guess I deserve some of it.
[Her hand is taken]
MMother
You saved our lives. God bless you, Chica Halcón.
Green Lantern
You deserve that, too.
