Hal Jordan has been a member of the Green Lantern Corps for just under a year, and while he has also been serving his time with the Justice League, his main focus is on the Corps and helping them on missions across the Galaxy. While the love of his life Carol Ferris has felt that Hal has distanced himself from her and has been too focused on his job as a Green Lantern, he still decides to return to the planet Oa to meets with the Guardians of the Universe. Once Hal arrives, Sinestro and the Guardians introduce Hal to the new member of the Corps John Stewart, who is now the second active member of the Corps from Earth. It is Hal’s responsibility to train John and the way of the Corps. As the two go off, Sinestro has requested that he should have a higher role the Corps given his experience and long-term commitment to the Corps. The Guardians refuse his request as they believe he has not done enough to earn a higher role. Sinestro leaves the Planet with complete rage.
