Hal is trying not to spend too much time on the ground or where people are to avoid a misunderstanding. Kyle's lantern still contained Parallax and considering he looked possessed again it wasn't a far leap for people to make even with whatever Zatanna had done.

He wouldn't of said anything and stayed out of the way, but that certainly looked like someone who shouldn't be up in the air with him.

"Lois?"

Lois blinks and turns around when she hears her name--after all, the sky is not actually the first destination for most people. Then again, if anyone were to be found above skyline level, a Lantern is certainly a more likely possibility than most. Besides, as much as she likes Kyle--and she really does--Hal's more or less her generation.

It counts for something, especially given how younger heroes can look up to Clark.

"Hal. I take it you got a shorter end of the stick than I did with Zatanna's... mishap?" Oh she's pissed about that.

"Looks like it... did you swap with Clark?" The consoles weren't something Hal had checked all that regularly and he only ended up finding out after a tiny Kyle had jumped him (He was never underestimating kids again).

He raises his hands. "And it's definitely me. No one else here."

"I wouldn't be surprised," Lois admits, "but he's not the only Kryptonian--and his father's currently grounded as well. At least one set of powers is missing. We won't know where they got to until, well, they turn up."

Frankly, she's rather relieved it's Hal and not someone looking like Hal or anything. Especially given things like teenage Clark and tiny Green Lanterns and things.

Hal blanches at the thought of someone running around with Kryptonian abilities. That's worrying and considering most of them seem to be affected by this as well he's not sure of their ability to stop someone misusing them.

"You mean there's another person out there with Clark's powers? Shouldn't we put the League on alert about that?"

"Hypothetically--but this is magic, I wouldn't put bets on it being logical. And it might be Jor-El's powers, which might vary very slightly. We're not really sure."

Still, she sighs and shrugs. "We could, but nothing's turned up yet--no sign of anyone so much as accidentally breaking a building. B's good, but I doubt even he could track magic with nothing to go on."

Is she worried? Absolutely. But there's not much any of them can do at the moment, so she has decided not to stress out and just enjoy flying.

"I can keep an eye out as well." Hal is not exactly the person people like to see as he is now. He's had enough of negative reactions from those who have experienced Parallax up close. So he'll probably have a lot of free time hanging out in the sky.
