It's been a couple of days since the League's confrontation with Martian Manhunter, and Hal's been trying to accept it and move on. Find the alien, arrest him, see justice done. Should be just that simple

"Great. He's probably told Locus everything about us by now," Dinah says, looking up at Lantern, for whom she feels no awkwardness at all right now. "Where we live, who are friends are. I don't know what you guys do in whatever your civilian identities are," well, except Hal, who is a test pilot, she knows that, "but I'm afraid to go to sleep at night."
"That's what we get for trusting a stranger," Hal replies, and then deep down regrets it, though you couldn't tell from the tone of his voice. But he shoves those misgivings down, and forces himself to focus.
"What's up?" he asks, gesturing toward the screen.
Snapper is too engrossed in the display, so it's the Flash who answers: "Snapper has found three separate global disturbances linked by a common energy signature. The North Polar icecap is melting, and fast. There's a seismic disturbance in the Mariana Trench. And something low-level atmospheric is happening in California's redwood forest."
"Anyone think this smells like the Locus group's promised Armageddon?"
Dinah shoots Hal a searching glance, looking to find out if he really meant that or not, but comes up with nothing. In the meantime, Flash is definitely talking sense.
"My guess," she agrees with him. "Priorities?"
Flash will know what to do. He's the fastest thinker, after all.
He really is, which is why Hal should have given him a chance. But Hal is too busy interrupting:
"The redwood situation seems to be the least critical. Flash, you and Canary investigate the Arctic warming. Aquaman and I will explore the ocean floor. We'll rendezvous in California."
And with that, Hal is flying for the exit. "Let's go people. We'll worry about J'Onn later. He could be anywhere."
Hal doesn't seem to notice that he's actually making a good case for putting J'Onn at the top of their priorities.
