The day has came. It was the day of Hal's judgement in front of the Guardians. When Hal first told Remy he was not going to Oa, and he would only remember The Green Lantern Corps as a long distant memory, he was dead set on it too.
It took around a week to convince Hal to stand in front of the Guardians, but that did not come cheap. She had to bargain her way into just making Hal stand in front of the Guardians, but Hal - being himself - make her want to kick him whilst he was in the green handcuffs.
The Guardians had to take precautions, but Scar was skeptical, just as Remy was. Her mouth was pressed into a thin line, her arms crossed but she said nothing. Hal turned his head to the side, his eyes meeting Remy's and his infamous smirk finding its way onto Hal's face.
Kilowog raised a brow - as much as his face would allow - whilst he watched Remy stress over this. Kilowog and Hal were friends, but if he sympathized with the enemy, he would be going against his elder's orders to kill the man that sat before them.
"Hal Jordan." Sayd spoke, authority filled his tone. His voice grabbed the attention of every Green Lantern in the massive room. Remy and Kilowog's head shot up to the circle that flowed above them all.
The dark haired man that kneeled in front of the small blue men, his body tense. Remy knew it killed Hal to kneel to anybody, showing any weakness to anybody, but this wasn't anybody - these were the Guardians. His head bowed, Hal exhaled silently as Scar spoke.
"We are here today to judge Hal Jordan, if he is a traitor or a Green Lantern." Scar continued with his monologuing, the air tense. Kilowog didn't say anything to Remy, but he knew that she was worried for Hal. Furrowing her brow, Remy watched Hal slowly stand up from his seated position on the floor to look all the Guardians in the eyes.
Scar gave Hal a curt nod, seemingly smirking as he did so, but that was only one of the Guardians. Only one was for sure in favor of Hal's innocence, but one was better than none. Even if Hal was one of the best - if not the best - Green Lantern they have seen, they couldn't deny the feats of Hal's time in the Green Lanterns.
But it was now all up to the Guardians. If they wanted Hal to live, he will live. If the Guardians wanted Hal to be in their prisons, he will be in their prisons. It was a toss up, there wasn't a favored side to this.
"Before we begin the judgement, do you have anything to say for yourself?" Ganthet asked with a stone hard expression on his face. Hal's gaze dropped from the Guardians to the green chains that restrained his wrists and ankles. He swallowed before shaking his head.
Remy was about to speak out in protest, but she remembered her position. She had no authority over what happened or will happen. She clenched her fist at Hal's stupidity, how couldn't he defend himself! In the eyes of his peers, he had committed treason and he stood before them without any sort of defense.
"Then we will proceed." Ganthet spoke with a lack of emotion. He didn't care. None of them did. Remy crossed her arm tightly as Kilowog nudged her side. He gave her a nasty look before growling lowly. Huffing, Remy bit her lip to restrain herself from snapping at the Green Lantern.
"Hal Jordan, you have broken your oath for the second time."
"I did it to find out what they were doing." Hal replied in the calmest tones Remy had ever heard him use before. A few Guardians sent him a glare. The looks of disgust that was plastered on their faces only made the feeling in Remy's stomach to drop.
"You took the oath of the Yellow Lanterns. Is this true?" They asked Hal. He nodded curtly, not giving them any verbal confirmation although his confidence didn't waver a bit. He stared down the Guardians like his life depended on it because it did.
