I didn't want to have to get anyone else involved, [Jaime mutters, voice low and resentful. Maybe that's a problem, but nobody had to get involved for Guy, and nobody had to get involved for that other Lantern.

He had hoped that maybe Hal would take him at his word, and not gone to the worst possible conclusion. The idea of having to go up to one of the other heroes and ask them to vouch for him seemed to be a ludicrous one in the moment when Hal seemed to do nothing more than snap in his direction, but now?
