The defeat by the Red Lantern Corps had been costly. Hal, Kilowog, and Razer, stripped of their rings, stood in the grim queue of a temporary prison on an ally world, battered and weary. Aya was missing, likely in a lab. As Hal waited for tasteless rations, his gaze locked onto a solitary girl at a nearby table. Her face haunted him with familiarity.

He took the food, stepping aside to let his crewmates line up, eyes still fixed on the mystery.
