That would be Hal and Larry, who have taken a moment to look out over the city from the high balcony of the DP headquarters.
"What do you mean you don't know exactly who's financing the JLA?" Larry is exclaiming. "Don't you guys check things like that out? Isn't that super-villain plot number eighty-two?"
"You're right," Hal has to admit. "We're new at this. We'll look into it first thing in the morning."
The Lantern goes quiet for a moment, then sighs, "Larry, how do you handle it, man? The responsibility?"
Negative Man lifts his head in surprise to hear Hal Jordan ask such a thing. "You seem to be doing well enough, flyboy. Hey, you were an iceman as a jet jockey. Why so rattled all of a sudden?"
"I never really thought of the ring as a killing tool before today," Hal answers. "Kind of changes my perspective on what we're capable of."
"Yeah," Larry nods. "I can see that. Look, Hal, take it from someone slightly more experienced: never failing to use our abilities wisely. That's the real power. Don't forget that."
Hal takes a moment, then smiles, but only slightly. "I won't."
"Listen... Any time you want to crack the sky again, look me up. I can put you behind a stick for an afternoon."
"Sounds good," Larry says, taking Hal's hand in a firm shake. "Take care, Hal."
Hal intends to. And he has to admit, it's good to know Larry is part of this new world he's found himself in. Even a Green Lantern needs someone to talk to now and then.
