Passing the time away(Open)

[Hal Jordan]

It was the middle of the night, or so it was in Hal's hometown, and he was walking up and down the halls of the Watchtower, unable to sleep. Hal wasn't much of a night person, that's not saying he doesn't occasionally enjoy the night life, he's just use to going to bed early and and wakenig up at 4:00 in the morning to run laps and do push ups. He was a military man, which was probably the reason he found it so easy to be a Green Lantern, the rotines were so simuliar. He made his way to the lounge, where someone had just made a pot of coffee. Feeling it was to late to back to bed anyway, he grabbed a cup and poured him some, scanning the room for who ever made it. That was when he heard someone approach him from behind. "Guess I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep." He didn't even bother to turn around and look to see who it was.

[Kal-El]

Sprawled on one of the comfortable couches in the lounge sat Superman. He looked rough, like a truck had hit him. He wasn't even wearing his uniform, a habit he'd began picking up as of late. He had a cup of coffee sitting close to him. He never drank coffee hot, he let it sit around and cool then drank it down quickly. Even though he could drink it scalding due to his Kryptonian physiology, it just became habit. One of the things he did to appear human.

To appear human... this was how he had spent so much of his life up to this point, trying to appear human. He had only just found out that the most human person he had known was now gone. He had come here for solace. At least here, he knew at least one other person was feeling as alone as he was.

"Hal... my... my mom's dead."
