[This must be from one of those costumed superhero types because the ID reads simply 'Green Lantern' and the man himself is glowing and wears a green mask. The background is... well, basically space. He's flown up as high as he can get and still maintain a connection.]

So how many of you guys have heard the 'stop leaving the country' spiel? Because last I checked, there was no way to stamp our passport when going off-planet. And even if there was, I have an obligation to the universe not just the political borders of one country.

[Says the guy who's clearly American.

A sigh.]

Not that it matters much, I can't get in touch with the Guardians or any other members of the Corps and this sector doesn't even match up properly.

[He falls silent for a moment before he snaps his fingers together as he remembers.]

Oh, right. This message was brought to you by your local space cop. So if there's any Leaguers out there, this is Green Lantern reporting in.

Welcome to the America that no one wanted.

[Ugh, of all the people.]

is this your way of telling me that you've claimed the whole place as gotham and i'm to stay out

[ Play nice, Greenie. ]

If my intention was to get people killed.
The entire planet is on the brink of war, with us in the middle. That goes far beyond any single individual. [ And just a peppering of arrogance to make it authentic. ] Beyond even me.

[ Arthur can't say if he's happy or not to see Hal here, but then again, he does miss him a touch; the Lantern's been away from Earth for nearly two years back in Arthur's universe. ]

I think you'll find that things are really different here, Jordan. Haven't caught a whiff of anything to do with Atlantis.

[aviate]

[Unlike with Bruce, Hal is actually happy to see Arthur.]

Well yeah, if the universe is out of shape things like Atlantis are expected to fall between the cracks.

[notafishwhisperer]

[ He'd have to wonder who would be happy to see Bruce, but he'd never voice that thought. ]

A whole continent. Only you would find something like that so simple. [ Never mind that this is an Arthur who has never been through a Crisis of any sort, so the whole multiverse thing is a mystery to him.

He shakes his head. ]

It's nice to see you after you've been gone for so long.

Leaving the planet? [Hm, he hadn't even thought of it, but why would he? When it's not readily an option you tend not to even think about it as an alternative but-]

Considering what many have had to deal with upon leaving their own planets, would it be safe to leave this one and possibly stir up more trouble? You are better to be patient if you wish to leave! And how would you know if the Gate would still work when you are so far from it! You might never be returned home.

[Hal is rolling his eyes here, too bad it's not visible.]

Since you're so worried, I wasn't able to find any sentient life so we can likely cross off alien invasion from the list of potential threats.

And I'd rather be doing something than sit around on the off chance it'll magically fix itself.

[bulwank]

I am no so worried, do not tell me what I am feeling I am merely stating a possibility that you should consider! [Really now, he's not the concerned, he just sounds concerned about everything.]

Then do something, be keep in mind this is not your world to do as you will in it! There are many things to help bide your time, even hobbies, or what you do to indulge in your free time. It would not be frowned upon for someone to think of their time here as an escape from their duties back home, though I don't follow that line of thinking for my own time.

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, all of us have been told not to leave the country. It's frustrating.

video

[aviate]

Any reasons why when we're not even their citizens?

Video

[darkpants_warmfeeling]

[Okay, Jacob's impressed. Because space and no breathing gear.]

Green Lantern. Welcome to the nuthouse. I can answer some questions for you, but first, I gotta ask- how are you breathing up there?

Video

[aviate]

Uhh--

[Hal has no idea how his ring works only that it does.]

The shielding does something.

[boobwindow]

[ No ID printed, in costume, etc. ]

They gave me the lecture and I went into space for all of two seconds.

Hello, Green Lantern.

video

[aviate]

[More people he knows who aren't Batman!]

Power Girl.

Did something happen?

audio

[bioshift]

[ Leaguers? Lantern- Corps? Now that sounds familiar. Even if, by this point, M'ganns turned just a little bit skeptical in who might know who, anymore.

The I.D. reads Miss Martian.]

Have you ... been off planet, yet? Since you got here?

audio

[aviate]

Spent a couple of days off-planet and got back just in time to get hit with a cease and desist.

[Hal doesn't spend a lot of time with any of the younger heroes so he doesn't know her very well other than the fact that she's from the same planet as J'onn.]

So are you representing the Titans or are there others as well?

video

[animalage]

[No ID, but he's a green monkey kid. That's pretty solid ID, right?]

GL! [Awesome. Cool. Having Leaguers around is a plus.]

So do you think there's just no Corps here? [Slightly panicked:] That won't make your powers stop working, will it?

video

[aviate]

[Just barely. There's too many kids running around that he doesn't pay attention to.]

Thankfully it doesn't work like that otherwise I'd never have gotten off the ground.

video

[you_tried]

[ For one horrible second, Booster realizes he's actually disappointed to not see Guy's face somewhere, and that thought sort of sends a shudder down his spine. ]

Wow. You get good reception up there.

[ Helpful as always. ]

video

[aviate]

[No one was looking forward to seeing Hal and two people wanted Guy instead. He is off to a great start.]

It's a hit and miss.

[And then he demonstrates by floating slightly to one side and the screen immediately goes static-y until he moves back to his original place.]

Video

[foreshadower]

[ What's caught in the video is quite obviously the most drab, bricked walls of all time. And a man that does not at all look very healthy on screen. ]

Did you get that delightful little note about how you only get one warning, and heaven forbid you leave the country again, or suffer the consequences?

Video

[aviate]

Yeah, it's why I'm still in American airspace for this. Don't want to hear more lectures while I'm trying to talk to people.

[...this guy seems familiar. Like he's in someone's rogue gallery.]

Are you in prison or something?

action; private

[andaway]

[Yeah, in normal circumstances he'd have just flown straight to space with Hal. But he already got a warning for leaving to Bulgaria... and he might be willing to go 'damn it all' and ignore the rules when someone is in danger, this doesnt' exactly qualify.]

Please tell me you know who I am and that we can meet. [He's like 75% done with alternate universes.]

did you mean video?; private

[aviate]

Of course I do and I'm directly over Heropa so I don't get any annoying phone calls.
