It's the middle of the night when Hal calls him. He doesn't need to sleep very often, but the Blackest Night had taken a lot out of him, between the dying and the Black Lanterns. Clark picks up the JLA communicator and bolts right up.
"Hal? What's the emergency, and I swear to Rao, if it's 'Ollie can't drive' again, I am not getting you this time."

"Clark... we need to meet somewhere. Private and isolated. Now. I don't care where... but it's important."
