Having talked to Oracle and Dinah already--not to mention a Batman from after the one he knows--it's obvious to Hal Jordan that if he wants to get to know this world better, he will need to start with Kansas. In particular, the Kents' old farm, now owned by this 'Lucy Cooper', whoever she might be

You can hear Sonia coming before you see her, mainly because little Ralph is at that stage of development where shrieking is really, really awesome and therefore should be done as steadily and enthsuiastically as possible.

She has given up on trying to get this to stop, and has resorted to muffling the noise by giving him things to cram in his mouth. His current favorite is still her braid.

In short, there is a strange, muffled, siren-like noise that heralds a rather young woman jogging with a baby strapped to her chest.

She stops to scope the new arrival out.

"Hey."

[overcame_fear]

"Hi there," Hal calls as he rings back down toward the ground until he's gliding along beside her.

"That little guy's got a real hobby." Hal would be working on green earplugs right now, but he figures Sonia might not appreciate that.

"Yeah, he don't understand 'Shut your mouth' yet," she sighs.

"What's with the... thing?" It is another suspiciously not-witchcraft thing! Sonia does not like them. They mean she has to be diplomatic and not immediately kill the people using them. It is hard!

"My power ring?" Hal asks, holding it up so she can see it better. "All part of being a Green Lantern, Miss. We keep the peace out there in the galaxy."

Someone who flies!

Does he like dragons?

Lucy - returning from a fruit run with a sack of oranges held in one claw - starts climbing the sky when she sees Hal, on the principle that altitude is a good idea when you're dealing with strangers in your airspace.

Hal, being a great pilot, is all about respecting others' airspaces (unless they're felons or fear-mongering ring-wielders).

And he's met more than a few dragons--and shapeshifters--in the Corps, even if they were space dragons, which might not be the same thing. So Hal is cautious as she comes into view, but of course, not terribly worried.

He's not sure this particular dragon can talk, though, and the ring's not giving him much intel to work with, so he gives her a careful wave and waits to see what happens next.

[littlestcooper]

She thinks for a little while.

Long enough that she approaches to within easy shouting distance, so if the dragon can talk, apparently she doesn't want to.

Then she waves back and circles for a landing by the side of the road.

[overcame_fear]

OK, not trying to eat him, so that's a definite plus. And the wave confirms it.

Hal slips into a classic wingman position and follows her down. Wingman is not his usual style, but, hey, dragon.

They can always argue negotiate next time about who gets lead position. =D

There is a boyman working in the fields. He's actually got his shirt on for once, which means the unique scarring isn't visible. Funny, that.

[overcame_fear]

Hal sees him from above, and something about the boyman strikes him. He's not exactly sure what that is, but it's more than enough to make him drop down to ground level and hover just above the grass.

"Hi."

Clark looks up at Hal, and grunts. "Green Lantern, huh?"

[overcame_fear]

"Got it in one," Hal nods, then glides down to the ground nearby.

"Thought I'd take a look at the place."
