Hal Grayson flew through the air of Gothopolis, observing the streets below. While not necessarily his turn to patrol, as the Justice Titans often take shifts so nobody feels overwhelmed. But with everything that had happened with Terranado, Hal felt like doing some work instead of sitting at home thinking about how betrayed he felt. That won't accomplish anything and he would feel worse if he learned something horrible happened that he could have stopped.

It looked like however that there was no point in him coming out, as the city was unnatural silent tonight. He hasn't heard anyone call out for help, no sirens from the GPD, not a single sign that anyone had broken out of Phantom Asylum. He was actually becoming disappointed as he couldn't distract himself and his mind kept returning to what happened with Terranado and how her betrayal affected the team. He knew Hawkbeast was suffering the most as he had been interested with Terranado, and he was angry that he let his feelings cloud his judgement. Aquaborg and Star Canary were now suspicious of every other hero, too frightened to trust anyone new in case they turned out to be a spy as well. Flash and Donna meanwhile were trying to hide their sadness, but Hal knew his two closest friends very well. They could never hide how they were feeling from him. Meanwhile Hal has lost faith in himself, because how can he lead a team when people can trick him so easily?

He knew he shouldn't blame himself, because it wasn't his or anyone else's fault. Nobody could have predicted her betrayal, and he's not going to stop trusting his teammates out of fear it could happen again. But at the same time a small part of him said it was his fault because he was too trusting, that if he kept people at arms length and actually paid attention to what they were doing, he would know if they were trustworthy or not. He might never be happy, but at least he could say he was more certain in how safe him and the team was. Shaking his head with sadness, Hal prayed more than ever for something to distract him from his troubles.

Apparently tonight was the night God actually answered prayers, as he suddenly heard a loud explosion and looked to his left to see some smoke rising in the distance. Without hesitation he shot towards it, no doubt looking like a green shooting star to the onlookers below. As he got closer he found the origin of the explosions and screams of terrified civilians, and he was actually surprised. Not that Jimmy Two-Face was there, who's gang often owned this area of the city, but by the person he was working with and the man trying to stop them.

He had heard of Goblin-by-Night before, but since he had never come to Gothopolis before it never really affected him. As the Goblin throws some kind of purple bombs at his opponent who expertly dodged them, he has decided that in retrospect he should have paid more attention. Besides he always seemed to be dealt with by York City's strangest hero Arachknight, who was currently dodging the bullets shot at him by Jimmy's gang. He was a bit surprised to see those two here, as they never seem to leave York City. They were like the Teenage Ghost Ninja Turtles who also lived in York City, not like the G.I Archies or Painkiller Shi who travelled all over the place. Hal only observed for a second, before flying down and pointing his clenched fist in the direction of the Goblin. A green cage formed around the villain, a lighter shade in comparison to his fur, surprising everyone present.

"Oh wonderful. Another wannabe knight in shining armour." the Goblin groaned in annoyance.

"Actually it's Night Lantern as in, well, this time of the day. Not-" Hal began, completely forgetting what was happening.

"Watch out!" Arachknight shouted as he dodged the shots from Jimmy, and Hal reacted on instinct as he realised the mistake he had made. The cage vanished and instead a green sphere appeared around the hero, just in time as Jimmy's hired muscle fired their machine guns at him. The bullets bounced off harmlessly, not being enough to break through the energy powered by his very will.

When they went to reload, he created a large baseball bat and swung with an adequate amount of strength. When he made the bat vanish, he nodded with satisfaction when he saw the things were unconscious. He turned his attention back to the villains, but was too slow to react to Goblin leaping towards me.

"Why don't you mind your own business!" he screeched as he began to cut his claws into Hal. Hal clenched his teeth in pain, the dagger like fingers cutting into his skin despite his suit, and quickly tried to push him off. Clenching his fist and pointing his ring at the Goblin, there was a flash of bright emerald light. The next thing anyone knew, the Goblin was unconscious against a wall thanks to Hal's green claw having smashed the villain against it repeatedly. Hal looked around and smiled in relief when he saw that Arachknight had taken care of Jimmy, having wrapped him and his gang with webs.

"Thanks for the assist." Arachknight told Hal with a polite nod, visibly relaxing a little as Hal floated down to greet him without losing focus on keeping the Goblin trapped.

"You're welcome. Do you mind filling me in about what was going on here?" Hal asked as he looked wound, happy when he heard the police sirens in the distance.

"Two-Face was trying to create some business back in York with Goblin. I learned about it and messed up his operation there, but Goblin made a run to Two-Face for help." Arachknight explained calmly. "I didn't know you or any of the Justice Titans, so I figured I would just deal with it myself."

"Right. Well I'll have the GPD put these guys away somewhere safe, so if you want-" Hal had only looked away for a moment but when he looked back he found that Arachknight had vanished without a trace. He looked around in confusion, before shrugging and focusing inn the criminals. Wouldn't want any of them to escape before the police arrived after all.

I wanted to do something different this time instead of doing another chapter filled with fan amalgams, so I decided to do a chapter based on Earth-7642 or Earth-Crossover.

Amalgams:

York City (New York and every DC city that isn't Metropolis or Gotham like Jump City and Central City)

Phantom Asylum (Arkham Asylum and Phantom Zone)

Teenage Ghost Ninja Turtles (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ghostbusters)

G.I Archie (Archie Comics and G.I Joe)

Painkiller Shi (Shi and Painkiller Jane)
