~Hal's POV~
Recognized: Green Lantern, 05
"I talked to John and he's headed to Oa now so I can stay here and-"
"Hal, your kid needs you." Barry called out and I turned to see Zaria shaking and crying in a corner while he tries to calm her down making me immediately rush to them. "She hasn't said a word since they woke up."
"Dad..." Zaria whimpered and practically crawled to my lap. "Dad... I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what, little red?"
"I let the Ring drain completely and I died." She admitted and I turned to Bruce with wide eyes.
"What happened in there!?"
"The exercise, it all went wrong." Manhunter says.
"Exercise?" Robin's voice cracks as he heaves in his breaths.
"Try to remember." Batman insists. "What you experienced was a training exercise. Manhunter psychically linked the seven of you within an artificial reality. You all knew this going in. What you didn't know was that it was a train-for-failure exercise. No matter what the Team accomplished, the scenario was designed to grow worse. Still you were aware nothing was real, including the deaths of the entire Justice League."
"I... I felt it." Zaria said and wiped her tears. "I felt it when Hal and John died and I had Hal's Ring in front of me... I felt all of it."
"Yet you hardly grieved." Bruce pointed out and she shook her head.
"You somehow managed to talk me into headed back to the Cave because I was about to try and take down that ship myself... But if it was a simulation, why not place me with the rest of the Team?"
"We had to put it as realistic as possible." Barry added and stood next to Wally. "You're a Lantern, so naturally you'd have to take down the threat with Hal and John unless they told you to stay in the Cave with the rest."
"That is why you hardly grieved." Manhunter picks up. "Even when Wolf was disintegrated before your eyes... but that all changed when Artemis died."
The entire Team turned to the still silent Artemis as she looks at her hands in her lap.
"Though consciously Miss Martian knew it was not real, her subconscious mind could not make that distinction. She forgot it was only an exercise. And her subconscious took control, making all of you forget too."
"I'm sorry..." M'gann apologized.
"This isn't her fault! Why didn't you stop the exercise?" Conner demands.
