Hal never really thought about children. With his line of "work"? Yeah, nope. Hal was sure he would never truly be able to have a real family. A wife, children... This upset him. But he was a Green Lantern, and protecting the universe was an honor for him.

He just... didn't think about it.

Today's mission was supposed to be a completely ordinary one. A strange surge of energy was detected on one of the planets, he and several of his partners had to get people out and then check what was going on there. Hal helped lead the people out and then went into the rubble of the collapsed building. He held his hand out in front of him, illuminating his path with the light from the ring.

"Hello? Anyone there?"

Hal called, looking around. Silence. Maybe there is no one left here? Hal moved on, his partners following him. They had turned a couple more corners when Hal heard a strange sound nearby. Crying? Yes, yes, a baby's cry! Hal rushed towards the crying, clearing away the debris with his ring. The last stone was raised with a green light, and...

Human?

Human kid. What the hell? What could a human like Hal himself do on this planet, millions of light years from Earth?
