[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.

[ Ident is literally just a bat symbol. ]

Welcome to the America that no one wanted.

[ 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.

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.

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

[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?

[ No ID printed, in costume, etc. ]

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

Hello, Green Lantern.

[ 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?

[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?

[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

[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.

[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.

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

Uhh--

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

The shielding does something.

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

Power Girl.

Did something happen?

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?

[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.

[ There it is. The mention that deflates the minuscule hope she'd had. Titans. That was Jaime's side of things, wasn't it? ]

Uh, no, that's not me. Well I mean- it might be in your world. Which might be parallel or something- I'm still Miss Martian, but I'm not part of the Teen Titans. Just ... The Team.

They basically told me not to do it again. National security reasons, etc.

The Outsiders?

[He knows Roy was on there at one point, but Miss Martian?]

What? [ Oh. ] No, we don't really have a name.

[ And up goes a filter, just because she knows a certain bird would have words if she didn't. ]

We're sort of a ... Covert-Ops for the League.

I got the same thing, but speaking as an Earthman if we can barely manage getting to the moon, there's no national security to worry about because no other planet is going to care about our secrets.

[He's heard many times how Earth is a backwater planet with absolutely no redeeming features.]

At best the only justification is for the continued pissing contest with the Russians. Which I don't care for. [And therefore he'll just break the law if he has to. He never followed it even in their world.]

[Hal has no idea how safe this is, but if she's going for it...]

...yeah, I don't do covert. I assume Batman put you up to it? Wait let me guess, it's for taking out the bad guys on the sly while the League does the big flashy distractions?

[ ...Ehhh, safe enough to not be noticeable? Does that count? M'gann is no tech expert. ]

We ... sort of did it on our own. Batman kept us from getting in trouble and suggested we do it on League terms. But that's the gist of it. You guys are so visible- Flash said there was a reason you guys were symbols on your chest- which makes sense.

[ Babbling. She's babbling. ]

[The Bats would probably nag regardless of what they did.

And he's assuming they're talking about Wally since Barry's still dead last time he checked.]

Twinkle toes has got the right idea. If they're coming after us they're not attacking innocent people. It's a good plan to have a stealth team.

[It's not his thing, but he can see the reasoning behind it.]

[ Well that's painful- don't tell her Barry dies. She's got a future ahead where Wally dies wow life sucks a lot.

Also yes, Bats nags about everything. ]

It keeps us busy- We want to help, but there's only so much a sidekick can do, you know? Having our own team means we get to do our own work. Or at least .. More of it.

[ SHE'S A PROUD MAMA OF HER TEAM OKAY. ]
