[This post is coming from Hal’s account because someone didn’t log out after sending this message and left a baby to mess around with the keyboard. The background is definitely Hal’s place, but there’s a baby sitting on the table in front of the console. Said baby is wearing a Green Lantern onesie and has a tiny power ring on his finger and is chewing on a Flash ring.

There’s also no one else in sight. Someone is a terrible babysitter. Eventually he wanders into the frame. Hal doesn’t look that different except for the fact that his temples are grey. He’s actually a few years younger than he should be right now. This is him in his Parallax years. But he wanders in, holding a bag of groceries and walks to the baby and pulls out a small bar of chocolate and unwraps it before giving it to him before he walks off again, presumably to put things away.

The baby makes a baby noise and suddenly he’s wearing a construct of Hal’s flightjacket. Moments pass and it really doesn’t look like Hal’s coming back any time soon.]

[ooc: Said baby is Bart Allen. BARRY, COME AND TAKE YOUR GRANDSON. OR ANYONE REALLY. Also please indicate if you wish to 'converse' with Bart as well.]

[And her view of Hal Jordan is becoming worse and worse with every passing minute. Dear god, he's an idiot.] And I thought I was bad with kids.

[If you want someone to save the universe, Hal's your man. For anything else, find someone else.]

Wally and Roy have never complained when I looked after them. [Same with his nieces/nephews. He is great with kids dammit.]

You looked after Wally? That explains so much! [GODDAMMIT, HAL, IF YOU'RE THE REASON HE NEVER LISTENS AND ALWAYS GETS INTO TROUBLE. You will have a Thanagarian with a mace coming after you.]

[Don't badmouth his pseudo nephew though him!]

Explains what? He's a good kid!

[He's her little brother, she'll say what she wants!] He also knows how to get in the worst kind of trouble possible. [DON'T MAKE HER BRING UP GORILLA GRODD.]

[Okay that sounds like his influence. Barry's a saint and Iris would never have let that sort of thing happen.]

But he also knows how to get out of them. [He'll take credit for that bit.]

With just as much difficulty. [And recklessness.] I don't suppose his ego has anything to do with you?

Confidence not ego.

[Possibly his fault.]

Definitely your fault. [She's convinced of it.]

Like I said, it's confidence. There's nothing wrong with having a bit of faith in yourself.

Believe me, it's a lot more than "a bit". He's got enough ego for the whole League. [DO YOU WANT HER TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE TIME HE BRAGGED ABOUT HAVING DINNER WITH TWO WOMEN AT ONCE.]

Now I know you haven't met Guy. [THOSE TWO WOMEN WERE PROBABLY HIS MUM AND AUNT IRIS BECAUSE HAL'S INFLUENCE IS STILL TRUMPED BY BARRY ALLEN.]

I haven't had that pleasure yet. [PSYCH, IT WAS DIANA AND SHAYERA. CAN BARRY ALLEN TOP THAT.]

And be glad you haven't. [ALIEN HAREM.]

Kyle didn't make him out to be too bad. [SHAYERA COUNTS AS AN ALIEN.]

Ask him about the time Batman punched him. [SHE LOOKS HUMAN ENOUGH TO PASS THO.

and Hal may not have been around then, but everyone's heard of that incident.]

[... well then.] Batman punched him? We talking about the same Batman? Tall, dark, overly broody?

Yep.

[He sits back and lets it sink in just what Guy must be like to get a reaction from Batman.]

I think I like him. [HE GOT UNDER BATMAN'S SKIN, THAT IS KIND OF HILARIOUS.]

[...that did not go as planned.]

Seriously?

You know how many people can make Batman flip like that? I can count them on one hand.

And think about how you'd react to him if Batman flipped.

Come on, everyone's always so scared of the guy and he's so stoic all the time. It'd be nice to see things changed up a bit. [But not in the kind of way where he's on a hellbent mission to stop Joker from setting off a city-wide bomb or something.]

But it's Guy.

[That should literally explain everything, why is it not working?]

And I'm Shayera, what's your point.
