GL's been so into the battle that he doesn't even realize something's wrong until the Ring suddenly fades out. And as Hal begins to plummet toward the ground far below, he suddenly realizes what all those warnings he'd been ignoring from the Ring had been about.
"J'Onn, I'm falling! A little help?"
With the speed of thought, J'Onn fields his request and reaches out to:
"Flash! I cannot pull away in time to catch Lantern! I pulled an image from his mind--something invisible in a locker in California--the only thing that save him! Retrieve it!"
Flash is already moving, but: "Invisible? How will I know what I'm looking for?"
J'Onn promises to guide him as Flash moves into overdrive.
Meanwhile, Snapper, watching Hal from the nearby roof of a building, is in full panic. "GL! Oh my god! Oh my god!"
But Aquaman puts a hand on his shoulder and almost smiles. "Stay relaxed. He is."
And amazingly enough, GL isn't flailing or yelling. In fact, he's stretched out just like a skydiver, as if any moment he expects--.
Flash returns, running so fast off an upturned piece of rubble that he rockets up in a wide arc through the air, at the top of which he hands something over to GL, who accepts it with a grin. "Took you long enough."
"I had to go by touch--," Flash replies, but Lantern is already calling out the Oath as he falls the rest of the way--but, no, the Ring suddenly flashes again, and GL swoops triumphantly back into the sky! Just in time to save Aquaman and Snapper when one of the giants shatters that rooftop they had just been standing on.
"Got you! That was close!"
Aquaman shakes his head. "There is no more 'close'--not in this city. We have to face the truth."

"We've lost Metropolis."
