Death and Life, or, Henry's Healing Harem
Of course Black Hand would attack Coast City with his latest scheme for world-devastation when Dad and Carol were both out of the galaxy. Thankfully, he did have some backup -- his new Blue Lantern partner was pretty much the only thing keeping Henry alive right now.

Henry hopes that the Guardians can do something to help his arm. Black Hand managed to touch him, and his left arm feels like it's shriveling away, held in check only by his green charge. But it's not time to worry about saving his arm right now. He needs to take Black Hand down, and fast, before he kills any more people.

"Hey, Hand?" Henry snarls. Ava's been keeping him on the ropes for a bit while Henry catches his breath. Black Hand looks up at the Green Lantern. Henry's mind races to think up a pithy line he can deliver.

"Fuck off."

Oh, well. He'll be more pithy next time. He unleashes the full power of his green ring at Black Hand, knocking the zombie flat on his back. "Wrap him up, Ava," he tells his partner. "We need to get him to the Sciencells."

Henry wavers a moment... then collapses, the ring fighting to keep the infection from spreading up his arm. But something must be done, and quickly...

Henry pauses. "What do you mean, 'a lot to make up for?'"

Yeah, he also caught the bit about him being homeless. He'll address that in a second.

Josh takes a deep breath and then looks up.

"My parents. They were very bad people. My mother was a member of an insane cult in Keystone City...she killed a lot of people. And my father..." he frowns and looks away. "he led it. My father calls himself Cicada and he's responsible for so much death...so much pain..." he closes his eyes a moment. "He's in prison right now. On death row. I'm doing everything I can to try to make up for what they've done."

Avalon looks between Henry and Josh, and then crinkles his nose before he says "Well, in my opinion you don't need to be so hard on yourself. The sins of the father do not transfer to you - sure you may have trouble being trusted - but you are not your mother or father."

He then looks between Henry and Josh both before he nods his head and says in a solemn tone, "All will be well, brother. Do not fear. Hope shines brightly, you must simply learn to look for it. Hope brought our paths to cross this day."
