blind-will.livejournal.comAuthorities have been notified where to pick up the unconscious Royal Flush Gang, all alive - though Ace has been mostly disassembled, since he couldn't sedate him the way he did most of the gang.
As soon as the call is made, still flush with victory in the rematch, and his first real solo fight against a superhuman level threat, Travis picks something else up on his ring. Something odd from Earth, but extending out into deep space. Trying to analyze it just gets hints of magic - which he has more idea about than most lanterns, but is still far from expert.
Throwing caution to the wind, he launches himself after the faint trail, leaving Earth orbit within seconds, passing the moon where he fought the Manhunters, and then well beyond, following the hints of a trail.
Had he been a little more hesitant, he might have picked up on the news from Cuba... but trying to catch the hint of a trail before he loses it, he misses the situation concerning Kobra, Light, and the Outsiders entirely, single-mindedly following a thread he somehow feels is important in its own right, but not quite knowing why.
