Guy Gardner lifts the small, alien figure off the ground, hands clamped under its arms as if he's holding a squirming cat. His red brows knit together in pure, baffled disbelief. The child's features are a perfect echo of Hal Jordan's—a resemblance he recognized the moment he saw it. The questions hammer in his skull: Did Hal know about this? Does the kid? Now he's saddled with what looks like Hal's long-lost secret. He'd just finished mopping up a crisis on this world, stuck around for the victory toast, and on a rough impulse, plucked this child from the celebrating crowd. Now those large, luminous eyes are fixed on him, wide and unblinking. Under the armor of his ego, a flicker of something almost tender stirs, before he shoves it down.
