Synopsis | After Hal and Carol reconnect, Carol travels to see a doctor in Piper's Dell to treat her paralysis. While Carol is there, the sea wall protecting the town begins to give way, so Hal responds as Green Lantern. After saving the town, GL is given a guided tour by the mayor of the plastic factory that keeps the town running through the production of "kalutas," decorative pins that emit a special scent. Weakened by the gas emitted by the kaluta given him, GL is unable to fight back when attacked by the people of Piper's Dell, so he sends his ring to Green Arrow. When GL revives, he finds that his old enemy Black Hand is behind Piper's Dell and that he uses the kalutas to create a brainwashed and docile community under his control. Having convinced the people of Piper's Dell that Green Lantern is the enemy, he sends GL and Carol out into the streets to face their wrath. But Green Arrow arrives in time with Green Lantern's ring, and GL traps Black Hand in his own plastic. |

Characters | Green Lantern [Hal Jordan]; Green Arrow [Oliver Queen]; Roy Harper [Speedy]; Mr. Browden |
Synopsis | When Oliver is jumped by a group of junkies, he is shocked when one of them shoots him with one of his own arrows, which he suspects is connected to the fact that he hasn't seen his ward Roy Harper in a month. Green Arrow, now teamed with Green Lantern, follows the leads to the junkies' dealer and eventually back to the junkies themselves, where the heroes find the missing Roy Harper. Roy lets GA assume he has been working undercover to find out who is at the top of the narcotics racket. Later, the junkies lead the heroes to an airplane hangar, but help the dealers knock out GL and GA and inject them with drugs. Roy arrives in time to distract the cops and get the messed up duo home. There he tries to explain the attraction of doing drugs to his mentor and his partner, but Green Arrow continues to remain baffled by their appeal, and is shocked to soon find Roy getting ready to shoot up. |
