"Zaria, what planets are in your sector?"
"I come and go, so it all depends but it's like thirty or so." I shrugged and used my Ring to show him. "Central planet is Earth, but it includes Mars, Scylla, Ungara and Ysmault which is on the outer sector. Kyle and I have been recently assigned to include routine missions to Tamaran but it's off-limits since it's in the Vega system and because of... other situations."
"Rimbor or Rann aren't in your sector?" Dick asked and I shook my head. "Shit..."
"Nightwing, what's going on?"
"We found the sixteen hours... Six Leaguers went on a rampage and that's the main reason the kroloteans are here. John was one of those leaguers."
"And Hal?"
He hesitated.
"No," he finally said. "Hal stayed behind. Long enough to take orders from Savage. Until you stopped him. And—"
"And I lost control," I finished, biting back the lump forming in my throat.
He shifted uncomfortably, eyes not quite meeting mine.
I forced a breath through my nose, steadying the flicker in my Ring.
"I can try to contact the Guardians," I said slowly, "see if they know anything. But we're not exactly on speaking terms these days. Guy's handling something with Laira and Jessica's in Scylla trying to play diplomat."
"And Hal?"
"In Oa training the new recruits with Kilowog and making sure the Guardians keep their end of the deal with me. I haven't been able to talk to him in almost four months... I could ask Kyle, but he's avoiding reassignment like the plague. So I'm fresh out of Lanterns."
"John said he could head to Oa to talk to the Guardians."
"Then I don't know why you're asking me for things that are clearly handled," I snapped. "I'm not going to Oa if that's what you're suggesting. I'm not facing the Guardians after what they did to me."
My voice came out sharper than I meant, but I didn't take it back.
Dick flinched. Just a flicker, the tightening of his jaw, the shift in his stance, but I saw it.
"I'm not asking you to go to Oa," he said carefully. "I know what happened. I know enough. I wouldn't ask you to put yourself through that."
