Really? You don't have a time machine tucked away somewhere?"


"If I had a time machine I'd have gone back and talked Luthor into not joining the Light. I don't have a time machine."


"Huh. Kinda thought you mighta been lying about the parallel universe thing."


"So aside from a useless warning..?"


"It's not the same people."


"What isn't?"


"Whatever killed those people in Washington used some sorta powerful exotic matter weapon, right? I'm tough, but if someone hit me with something like that? I'm done. My injuries are all regular weapon injuries. No reason why you'd use fancy guns against ravers and regular stuff on the guy you were really trying t' kill."


"What makes you think you're the 'real' target?"


"Good question. See, the way I see it, the only reason why someone would try and stop me was if they wanted the future I don't want. Reach didn't have time travel, or the Orange Lantern Corps wouldn't a' eaten them in Kadabra's future. So… Who else?"


"Someone who wants to kill you but apparently doesn't care all that much about me?"


"No! Someone who wants the future we're trying to prevent! Or who wants a different future! Might even be the Thanagarians." I'm uncomfortably reminded of the ship that brought Princess Chay-Ara to Earth. "We want the same future. These people don't. This is both our problem."


"What do you want?"


"How about we share information?"


"I'm exceedingly reluctant to do that without a good deal more evidence than I have now that this is even happening."


"I can understand that. Hold on a sec…"


Coordinates received.


"There. Just sent you the place where the lab used to be. Take a look."


Ring?


"Take a look at a mountain?"


"I don't have a power ring. You might find something I missed. Or you might get shot at like I have been."


"I'll consider it. Anything else?"


"Nah. I'll call you again when you're done. Ciao!
