->'''Obsidian''': What are you going to do? Recite your [[BadassCreed silly little oath]] at me? Tell me how "no will is greater than yours", how you "wrote the book on willpower"?
->'''Green Lantern''': No. We're beyond willpower. This is about me finally taking responsibility.
->'''Obsidian''': For what? For making a [[KickTheDog monster]]?
->'''Green Lantern''': No. For [[MyGreatestFailure not being a parent]].
->''(Green Lantern uses his powers to restrain his son, and basically burn the evil out of him using willpower, love and a Green Lantern Ring)''
->'''Green Lantern''': That's why the Justice Society is so important to me. To [[FirstNameBasis Jay and Ted and Carter]]. [[Franchise/TheFlash Jay]] couldn't have children. [[BadassNormal Ted]] lost his son. [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Carter]] [[ParentalAbandonment neglected]] [[ComicBook/DoctorFate his]]. And I... I was never even there for mine. '''We failed our children'''. But we won't fail them again. I won't fail ''[[{{Determinator}} you]]'' again. Or any of the [[LegacyCharacter children]] of the Justice Society. And ''that'' is my oath.

->'''Hawkman''': I can't help wondering if the world still has a place for heroes like us.
->'''[[Franchise/TheFlash Jay Garrick]]:''' More than ever, I'd say. The way I see it, we have a responsibility to the heroes that came after us, Carter. The people down there, in the streets -- the people that really matter -- they look up to teams like the [[ComicBook/TeenTitans Titans]] and the [[Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica League]] -- But the Titans and the League -- They look up to us.
