Earthfall
Hal flew through the sky, pouring on the speed.
A green watch appeared on his wrist, which Hal checked before looking ahead again as he increased his speed. "Come on." He muttered. "Can't be late again. Carol will kill me if I'm late for another date."
Hal was focused on the horizon, willing it closer, so focused on his goal that he didn't notice the silver glow until it slammed into his side and nearly knocked him out of the air.
"What the heck?"
Hal righted himself, and glanced after the glowing orb. As he watched, the glow split up into ten smaller glows, which scattered away toward the skyline.
Suddenly Hal realized that the smaller glows looked familiar. In fact, if he didn't know that there wasn't a silver lantern corp, he would have thought that he was looking at silver rings.
As the rings vanished over the horizon, and he resumed flying, Hal wondered what exactly was worse. That he had just possibly allowed ten rings of unknown origin to make contact with earth, or that he was going to be late for his date with Carol.
The first ring slowed in Metropolis. It swooped low over an apartment building, then stopped outside a window.
The room's occupant was working on his computer, and didn't notice the ring until it crashed through the window. He whirled, and heat vision flashed from his eyes, impacting the ring.
The ring flew through the explosion, unaffected, and slid onto the man's finger.
Kal-El of Krypton. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The second ring slowed in Gotham. It drifted toward a mansion on the outskirts of the city.
The mansion's butler looked up in surprise as the ring crashed through the window. As the ring flew into the study and crashed through a tall clock, the butler opened a panel near him. "Master Bruce, there is a silver ring on its way down into the cave. I suggest you watch out."
Bruce looked up from the work he was doing on the batmobile in time to see the ring come flying toward him.
An explosive baterang flew at the ring.
The ring smoothly dodged and slipped onto Bruce's outstretched hand.
Bruce Wayne of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The third ring slowed in Middletown. It floated to the window of a house .
The green-skined being in the house jumped up in surprise when the window shattered, shifting to a human form with dark skin.
He caught a glimpse of the ring, and went intangible to avoid it.
The ring shifted phase to match him, and slid onto his finger.
J'onn J'onzz of Mars. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The fourth ring slowed in Metropolis. It flew toward a tall building shaped like an L, stopping near the window of the executive office on the top floor.
The bald man in the office turn to the window in surprise at the sound of the re-enforced window shattering. He stared for a moment at the approaching ring, then smiled and extended his hand.
The ring slid onto his finger.
Lex Luthor of Earth. You know Order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The fifth ring slowed in Blüdhaven. It shot towards the roof of an apartment building.
The sole occupant of the roof glanced up in surprise at the sound of air whistling.
Seeing the ring, he performed a fast frontflip, ducking and rolling under the oncoming ring, then doing a handstand and flipping back to his feet.
The ring came back around in a loop and slid onto his finger.
Richard Grayson of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The sixth ring slowed in Gotham. It flew toward an asylum on the island offshore.
The ring crashed through the wall, leaving a thin hole in its wake, and flew down the hall.
A thin hand shot out between the bars of the viewing slot on a door marker 'Crane', fratically grasping at the ring.
The ring flew on, before turning and entering a room.
The room's occupant stared at the silver ring in front of him, surprise and curiosity warring on the un-scarred side of his face.
Harvey Dent of Earth, your identity was compromised. It is restored.
There was a flash of silver light.
The ring slid onto the man's finger.
Harvey Dent of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The seventh ring slowed in Washington, D.C. It stopped and hovered outside of a building across the street from the White House.
The people in the lobby, who had been heading for the doors, stopped and scattered when the glass door was shattered by the ring.
One of them, a black lady in a blue coat, pulled out a pistol and fired at the glowing silver object.
The ring shot toward her and slammed into her gun, knocking it from her hands, before slidding onto her finger.
Amanda Waller of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The eighth ring slowed in Gotham. It stopped outside the Gotham Police Station.
The officers on the second floor jumped out of their seats when they heard glass shatter in one of the offices.
The man in the office jumped out of his seat as well, drawing his gun and whirling to face the window.
The ring slammed into his gun, disarming him, and slid onto his finger.
James Gordon of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The ninth ring slowed in Gotham. It flew to a house in the residential section of town.
The redheaded girl in the house bolted to her feet when the front window of the house shattered.
She started to head to the front of the house, but changed direction at the sight of the ring.
She turned and ran for her room.
The ring shot past her, slowed, and slid onto her finger.
Barbara Gordon of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
The tenth ring slowed in Khandar. It soared toward the palace at the center of the city.
The man sitting alone on his throne glanced up as the ring as it flew in.
He leapt into the air, outrage written on his features.
"Who dares to intrude-"
The ring slid onto his finger.
Teth-Adam of Earth. You know order. Become a Silver Lantern.
