Superman crashes through Suicide Slum, the force of his collisions causing glass to shatter and wood to splinter as he bounces through the streets. Without missing a beat he’s up, looking down at the woozy Green Lantern at his feet.
He picks up his companion and helps him up, and the two look at where they’ve arrived.
“Metropolis is intact… But the residents…” Superman looks through brick and mortar to see that the human residents of Metropolis are terrified. “My double… Whatever he’s been doing… It’s bad.”
“This is… Oh ow… That’s not supposed to be there…” Jar Kell feels his stomach and coughs to himself, his body sloughing off the effects of near light travel. “Wow. That was a new experience. Right then…” Jar points his ring up and it fizzes and splutters green. “I’m cut off from the main power battery on Oa. Hells.” He strains his brain for a moment and a green light erupts from the jewellery on his finger, blowing back the Lantern’s grey hair, and causing his eyes to glow bright green. “Ah. That did it.”
“What was that? What did you do?” Superman watches as the green energy fades from view, and then looks over to the blue skinned alien beside him, whose hair slowly settles.
“I pierced the dimensional barrier for a moment. I’m not your normal Green Lantern, I’m built for this stuff.”
Superman looks the man up and down and nods slowly, and the Lantern continues.
“Right, yup, we’re in another dimension. One of the ghost zones tied to certain areas of space. This one seems to be tied to Earth… But it’s new here. From somewhere else entirely. Dirty and wrong.”
Superman’s eyes light up for a second, realisation cascading over him. “Oh no. Oh hell.” Clark stumbles around, shaking his head.
“What is it Superman, what do you know?”
“Lantern… We’re in the Phantom Zone!”
