[ID reads Hal Jordan.]

I got ported out and... now I have no idea what I was thinking the last time I was here.

[A very perplexed Hal Jordan holds up a shirt that once belonged to Oliver Queen.]

I hoarded this guy's stuff after he vanished. Queen wasn't even from my world, why did I care?

[He puts it down and there's a thud as he kicks something out of view.]

If anyone wants a former billionaire's wardrobe, be my guest. Although I guess Barry gets dibs. [Aka someone pick up the Green Arrow related things please. He has zero use for a bow and arrow.

He then closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose.]

Remembering doing something, but not why is really bizarre. Is this a Porter thing or what?

[Private; Jaime Reyes]

What's the last world threat you remember that involved everyone?

[This is the easiest way to establish a timeline in DC.]

Well, he was― he's a version of your friend.

[ Maybe Hal doesn't want to dwell on Oliver not being here anymore. ]

... did you hit your head or something?

[Slowly:] No he isn't.

And I did hit my head, but that's got nothing to do with it. [He died and was later resurrected so surely any injuries got better.

...]

Actually, how do I know you?

I said a version of him―

[ She cuts herself off, finally hearing his question and staring him back in confusion. ]

Come again?

[He shrugs and is just as confused as she is.]

I know who you are and I know we share some hobbies, but I don't know how I know this.

[ Oh god, Amnesiac Hal 2.0?? ]

Okay, let's backtrack.

What happened when you were ported back here?

Before Crane was being himself, while I was back home there was the zombies because something about those space lanterns-- [Hal is trying so hard.] and then back here and now I'm at my place?

Hard to forget the zombie attacks.

[ Something's amiss, though. ]

Maybe the Porter fried your brain when you were ported back.

[He pauses to think about how he can word this.]

I have a really great health care plan. If there was something wrong I'd know about it.

Have you seen a doctor yet?

[ And now PRIVATE. ]

Do you know what hobbies we share?

Sort of?

[Private]

Saving the world and/or the universe.

[He doesn't remember how he knows she does that, but he's sure that's the case.]

"Sort of"? What does that mean?

[ PRIVATE ]

Right on the dot. So, you can't remember how you know any of this?

As in the ring says I'm fine.

Yeah, because I swear I've never met you before here, but I know I acted like I did. And I'm sure Volthoom never got round to actually making any permanent changes unless there was some other threat I missed.

Volthoom?

The First Lantern and really bad news. He almost rewrote reality, but we got there in time.

[It also doesn't make sense that it's his fault that Hal doesn't remember everyone since Volthoom's goals were a lot bigger than that.]

[ Oh, wonderful. More time-obsessed villains. ]

You and the Corps? Are we sure this guy didn't manage to do anything? He might have done something to your memory.

But I was really careful this time! I made sure I separated him from his powers before I took him out. There's no way I could have messed that up.

I think I of all people should know the stakes with that sort of thing.

But then what's wrong with your memory, Hal? Something had to have happened at home or here.

[Literally anything could have happened in their world because that's the sort of place they live in so this doesn't narrow things down.]

I know people here either remember everything or nothing, but not partially. Wasn't there that guy back home who claimed to be from the future except all he did was sell ads? If he's really from the future, maybe he knows something.

[ Her eyes narrow and head tilts. ]

You don't remember Booster? Booster Gold?

[He matches her head tilt except his is in confusion.]

I thought we just established I know him?

I'm... not sure what's going on, Hal.

Don't look at me. I think you've all got it wrong, not me.

What? No, there's something wrong with you.

Let me do an x-ray.

[Woah woah woah, that's a little intimate.]

I have a girlfriend.

Get your mind out of the gutter!
