This disciplinary hearing

is to determine whether or not Jessica Cruz

is in violation of Green Lantern Code

three dot four dot eight-zero, Article V.

This alien menace went on a rampage in Metropolis

that threatened thousands of lives.

Yet, despite being on the scene,

Officer Cruz refused to attack.

Jessica Cruz, how do you plead?

Look, kid, I know pacifism is your thing,

but you could lose your ring here.

Just admit you messed up and throw yourself on the court's mercy.

I don't need to plead.

I've already absolved myself with this.

Have you read it?

Uh, yeah. Of course I have.

I found it quite, uh, wordful.

I object!

Hal! What are you doing here?

Saving your bacon.

Trust me, Jess. I've been through a ton of these disciplinary hearings.

And lucky for you,

I've learned that a Lantern is entitled to a peer advocate.

Huh? So I signed up. What do you know,

you approved it.

You spelled my name wrong.

No. You spelled your name wrong.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the silent "P", didn't I?

Look, come on, Jess. You heard Kilowog.

Your ring is just take here. Can you imagine life without it?

How would you rescue a kitten in a tree

or hail a taxi or open a can of soup?

A ladder, taxi app, can opener.

But I'm not worried about losing my ring

because everything is in my report.

I have faith in the system and I shall be exonerated.

At least let me stay for moral support.

Fine. Just sit here and stay quiet.

Jessica, I won't say a word.

-Let us begin. -Objection!

-Immaterial. -Overruled!

You're overruling your own lawyer?

-I just want him to be quiet. -[Kilowog sighs]

As stated, Officer Cruz's failure to act

allowed this creature's sonic blast to nearly destroy the city.

Circumstantial hearsay!

-Why are you speaking? -Relax.

I'm calling your bluff.

Your Honorettes, I am just a simple man.

A man who deals in simple truths.

Ugh. He's half right.

But isn't that why we're here, the truth?

Now, while I respect Kilowog,

let the record show that he was not even present during said event.

In fact, Mr. Kilowog,

did you or did you not actually see Officer Cruz not do

or not-not do anything to not prevent

or not-not prevent this alleged disaster?

I don't know how to answer that.

Aha! So, you have no proof

that any of these damages were a direct result of Green Lantern's negligence.

Exhibit A.

We saw everything

and it was a direct result of Green Lantern's negligence.

-[spits] -This is why I said to be quiet!

So, uh, how do we feel about a plea bargain?

Absolutely not!

I have done nothing wrong.

If everyone could just turn to page 389,

subsection G, paragraph 98--

Your report, I know. Don't worry, don't worry.

-I call my first witness, Kara Zor-El. -[screams]

The old space hippo really stepped in it this time.

He's putting your BFF on the stand. Ha.

But I already have Kara's official statement written in here.

My witness!

I'm supposed to say "your witness" when I'm done.

But based on your performance so far,

have at it.

Hey there, Kara, looking super today.

You wanna tell me what the heck is going on, Harold?

I was front row at a concert.

Okay, I'll make this quick.

Were you present last Tuesday

when an alleged monster destroyed Metropolis?

Oh, oh, I was there.

That monster and its big mouth were tearing the city apart.

I was ready to knock that bad boy into next week.

But just as I was about to deliver the old Supergirl special...

-Wait. -[grunts] ...I smack into one of Green Lantern's walls.

[spits]

I still can't get the mackerel stink out of my cape.

And what happened next?

Next? Jerky-Mc-Screams-a-lot totals the city's metrobelisk

which ticked me off even more

'cause it's like the only monument in Metropolis

that doesn't honor that lamoid Superman.

So you could have stopped this thing if not for Green Lantern's actions.

If you would just read the report...

Come on, kid. I know you don't agree with this trial,

but it's not too late to change your plea.

You don't want to lose your ring over this.

Wait. Wh-wha... No.

Jess could lose her ring?

No, I-I didn't mean to... [screams]

Officer Jordan, do you have any response to this most recent testimony?

Yes, I do. This actually just proves my case.

If the mighty Supergirl couldn't stop this monster, no one could.

Therefore, aggressive or not,

Jessica would have not been able to stop the beast or prevented the damages.

Next witness, Hawkman.

Hawkman, what do you remember about the events of last Tuesday?

[Hawkman] I heard alarms, got there,

saw the thing, pounded it.

Thing flew off scared.

It's that simple.

Had Officer Cruz been aggressive,

this disaster could have been avoided.

The prosecution rests.

Very well. Then, we shall adjourn to deliberate.

Unless Officer Cruz has anything to add.

Finally. Yes, I have much to add.

Stated here is everything you need to know. [clears throat]

"Foreword, The Heroism In Pacifism."

-"Ever since I was a little girl--" -Huh?

Come on, Jess, we're getting killed!

Nobody reads these things!

Hal, think, Hal, think.

I call a surprise witness!

Uh, Garth.

Garth?

-Surprise. -Huh?

Garth, you were there last Tuesday at the sonic beast incident, were you not?

Oh, no. I had a podiatrist appointment on Tues--

[sneezes]

"Keep cool, kid, and just read this.

I, an upstanding citizen, was there Tuesday

and I witnessed... PJessica?"

The "P" is silent.

"...Jessica Cruz pummel a giant beast mercilessly.

Thanks, kid, I'll sneeze you ten bucks in a sec."

What are you doing?

This foolishness is going to cost me my ring.

No, your blind belief in the system is gonna cost you your ring.

Look, I may have made some mistakes.

But do you actually think those eggheads are going to read this thing?

I'm sorry, Hal, you're fired.

-[gasps] -We shall now adjourn to deliberate.

Stupid report. This is all your fault.

[grunts]

[toy duck squeaks]

[sighs]

Huh? [gasps]

After careful deliberation, we are ready to issue our ruling.

Before you issue anything, I must ask,

did you read my report?

Mmm... Of course, we did.

We found it quite wordful.

Hal was right.

However, this tribunal finds you gui--

Hold. The defense un-rests.

Unresting is not a thing.

I'm pretty sure it is because I had to un-fire myself to do it.

I demand to call one more witness.

Officer Jordan, you have made a mockery of this tribunal.

And frankly, we now question your judgment as a Lantern in general.

Therefore, we shall grant this witness.

However, if we still find Officer Cruz guilty,

we will revoke both her ring and yours.

-Hal, don't! -I accept.

And I call to the stand Kongulon the Getalor.

[screaming]

[sonic waves blaring]

Kongulon, your collar.

[sweet female voice] I do beg your pardon.

I am constantly forgetting to activate this universal translator.

Imagine my embarrassment last Tuesday

when I forgot it altogether and left it home.

On my home planet,

I am an officer of the law as well.

I just received a tip

that a juvenile prankster

planted a world-destroying bomb on Earth,

in a city known as Metropolis.

World-destroying? [chuckles softly] Some prank.

We Getalorpians have a different perception of time.

Actually, in your time, this bomb was planted millions of years ago

when Earth was but a rock in space.

I'd liken the social hijinks to the Earthling-used ritual

of putting firecrackers in a mailbox.

Go on.

Prank or not, I had only a few Earth moments before the bomb exploded.

In my haste, I left my translator at home.

So any attempts to summon help became rather... devastating.

So you were just trying to warn us?

Indeed.

And Officer Cruz, you were...

Using the translator on my ring to communicate.

Together we figured out that the bomb was buried beneath the metrobelisk.

Point of fact, I was en route to Metrobelisk

when that brutal Kryptonian intercepted me.

But fortunately, Green Lantern intervened.

[sonic waves blaring]

[Supergirl grunts]

This allowed me time to extract the bomb.

Unfortunately, that's when a winged buffoon began to assault me.

-[bang] -[thuds]

Time scarce, I feigned injury,

and with the help of Officer Cruz,

I was able to abscond away with the explosive

and detonate it in the safety of space.

[explodes]

So if I had used my fists instead of my mind, Earth would be no more.

In fact, it's all in her report,

which, by the way, was a fascinating read.

Officer Cruz, in light of this testimony, we--

You'll find me not guilty, read all officers' reports

before passing judgment and rethink your policy

on violence being the only solution.

[sighs] Fine.

But don't tell the Blue Lanterns, or I'll never hear the end of it.

I'll write up a report for your new policy

that's so long they won't get through the title.

You were right. They didn't read it.

But then, how did you know to call Kongulon?

Simple. I read your report.

Well, I skipped to the last page.

Hal, thanks for being there for me.

Ah, come on. We're friends.

Hal Jordan never leaves a friend hanging.

Hello?

Can someone give me a ride home?
