[She's gotten used to explaining herself in the last few weeks, and even back home from time to time, so it's with understanding that she lifts her hand, knuckles out, for him to see the ring on her gloved finger.]

I'm a Green Lantern, that's what this ring means. In my universe, the Green Lantern Corp is a sort of police force charged with protecting the universe. [She lets her hand drop as she wonders at how much to say. Someone back in the City had tried to take her ring after learning it was the source of her abilities (not that it had worked for them) and since then she's been wary of how she explained it.]

I asked the ring to do a scan for me. It's kind of like a mini computer. [The ring chirps the inaccuracy in her head and she apologizes. It's a necessary downgrade. She gestures in the direction they need to walk and begins working her way through the weird moss sludge, feeling awkward and nervous. She just admitted that she's the kind of person who should be prepared for this but she still has no idea how to get them out of here. It makes her chest feel tight and she takes several deep breaths, wondering what Laine must think of her incompetence.

Conversation. That's probably better than staying in her head right now.]

Guess that's why The City picked me up in the first place, this sort of thing is kind of my job. Now it's like an unpaid promotion. [She snorts and then frowns.]

Uh, not that Green Lanterns get paid either? I don't even get benefits...
