The day Carol found out....(Years ago)
He was going to tell her today.

The secrecy, the near misses, the ducking out at odd moments, and a million other things were adding up. Hal Jordan has dated a lot of women who weren't terribly intelligent (and a lot who were dumber than a box of rocks), but Carol Ferris doesn't even come close to being one of those women, despite Hal's desire to think so. Eventually, she'll figure it out. Hell, Bruce did, and it hadn't taken him long. Then again, Bruce Wayne was probably the strangest man he'd ever met.

The kiss was the last straw.

So Hal takes a deep breath and walks to the door of Carol's office, knocking before entering. He's wearing his usual brown leather jacket, his hands stuffed in his pockets. He can't show her the ring yet; he needs to prepare her.

"Hey, Boss Lady. You got a minute?" Hal asks, affecting his trademark playboy smile as he leans against the door frame.

	"You ever thought of going to another planet?" he asks. "We could right now, if you want. Mars, Ungara... those are several in this sector with atmospheres like Earth. We'd be just fine." he says. "What do you think?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The idea appealed to her on levels that sometimes had to struggle through the layers of Ms. CEO to be heard. She used to fly. She used to do a lot of things that her soar. She lifted her gaze from the incredible sight of the Earth to focus on him. "Could we manage it and be back by morning?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can be back in time in time for breakfast, coffee or whatever you like." Hal grins. "Just relax and follow me." he says, flying her off toward Ungara. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She laughed and held on tight. Who needed coffee after this? "Where I have heard that before?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Our first date. You were totally doing the Ice Queen thing, so we went out to the lake. You finally loosened up and talked to me like Carol, and not Boss Lady." Hal grins.

As they come upon the blue and white globe of Ungara, Hal begins their descent. Soon enough, they are on the ground, and he lets down his shielding slowly, so that Carol knows the air is safe to breath.

Right now, they stand on marble-like floor before a statue of a tall Ungaran male. The name engraved on the statue is Abin Sur.

"This is where Abin Sur now rests. His people honored him every year with a big celebration. I inherited his ring, so I try to come here as often as I can to show the Ungaran people that I know they're in my sector and I haven't forgotten them." he says quietly.

	"When a hotshot flyboy chats /you/ up, we'll see how well you handle it," she smirked. Standing at Abin Sur's memorial, Carol felt she finally understood a part of Hal Jordan that had eluded her. She listened to Hal speak of the fallen Green Lantern and slipped her hand into his and squeezed. "You're a good man, Hal." (Reply to this)(Parent)
