Hal sees it happen with his own eyes, and he still can't believe it.
It starts with some kind of back-and-forth between Flash and Aquaman, and then suddenly the Speedster is using that weird yellow lightning projection to propel Aquaman right at the Brain. Several steps away, it stops, and Aquaman flies through the air, landing hard right on the Brain's back.
The monster is startled, and never has a chance to recover. Aquaman gets him into a wrestling hold Hal is glad hasn't got him pinned, and then there's a lot of shouting the Lantern can't make out.
And then... the Ring is glowing bright as the Brain keeps blasting away at them, but when Aquaman squints hard Hal can feel a struggle of wills going on.
Hal's been around enough telepathic aliens long enough to figure out what Aquaman is trying to do. It's a good try, and the guy's got guts, but--.
What the hell?
A brighter flash, and suddenly an emerald cutlass erupts into view, and slices clean through the fleshy head of the monster. The crystal case containing the Brain goes flying until it lands hard on the ground several yards away.
Moments later, Robotman is clapping Aquaman on the back. "Nice work, Blondie! You're gonna be right at home with the Doom Patrol!"
"With the--?" Hal starts. "Forget it, Robotman! He belongs to the JLA--and we're lucky to have him!"
