He gave me a name. Lois Lane. He said she was the key. ( whatever that means. though a little more seriously now. ) He also said I was right about him. That I should fear him and to find us.
[ ohh. that is a lot. kyle rarely hesitates, but he does now, turning it over in his head. ]
Sort of. Lois Lane is a reporter at the Daily Planet. And she is close to Superman.
[ he frowns. ]
I don't know what he means about Superman though. Superman is — Well, he's the best. The best of the best. As for "us", maybe you need to help form the League?
Sure, plenty. He's an invulnerable alien from another planet. Not exactly something people really care for. He has a lot of power and he has very few weaknesses.
[ kyle doesn't really know how to respond to that. because, well, of course it is. that's how it should be. it's not like he thinks batman will hang him out to dry, but . . . kyle's a lantern. a broken mess of a lantern, who held it all by the seams.

Wally was?
no subject
( turning back to face kyle, he stares. )
He seemed confused that I didn't recognize him. Asked if he was too soon.
( hence the time travel question. )
no subject
Sounds like he was going back to the past for some reason. I guess to leave a message.
no subject
( which is always fun to get. )

( still staring. )
Does any of that mean anything to you?

( superman is not A Thing for him at the moment after all. )

no subject
Sounds like someone to be careful of.
no subject
I mean, so are you. So are any of us. But Superman is the best for a reason. He's earned that rep.
And you guys were close. There wouldn't be a League without the both of you.
no subject
( though he wishes he knew of and for what. )
no subject
I'm not saying it's not important, but . . . just think twice about jumping at shadows.
[ which feels stupid to throw out there, it's batman but kyle doesn't want to think of a world without either of them. too weird to contemplate. ]
no subject
Do you trust me?
no subject
no subject
( or at least has all the facts he needs. )
I have people here I need to keep safe. ( his kids. ) Youβre included in that. I just want to be prepared in case anything happens.
no subject
. . . Okay. Fair enough. You wouldn't be you if you didn't do that.
no subject
We're on the same team. Here and where you're from. Your safety isn't any less important because you're not a kid of mine.
no subject
he's just some guy. ]
It's fine if it is.
no subject
no subject
No, but that never really stopped me.
no subject
( because he's said what he's said and therefore, that's that.
turning back to his things on the table, he pushes them around a bit. mulls over the things kyle has told him. )
It's just the two of us here as it is anyways.
( from "the league" and all. )
no subject
If it's your future, I'm not the Green Lantern for the league. He probably means Hal or John Stewart.
no subject
( stop thinking you're not enough, kyle. )
no subject
. . . Okay. You're the boss.
