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! Secret Identity!" Avalon hisses then, his expression scandalized that Henry might be outing himself. Never mind that he doesn't seem to take any offense to Henry's comments about him talking "like that." Then again, Avalon was pretty aware of what a loon he sometimes sounded like when he got going on a Hope kick to those that might not completely understand.

"Oh. Regular rainbow of Lanterns, aren't there..." Josh trails off. He looks Avalon over and offers a smile before attention returns to Henry. He listens closely to the other teen and nods. "Couldn't let you die..." he trails off.

When the mask vanishes, Josh gasps. He didn't expect the superhero to be around his age. "Really?" he asks, eyes wide. Josh glances down at himself quickly and then back up. "I...wow...thank you! I'd be happy to," he says. "Oh. I'm Josh Casey but I don't use the last name much anymore so just Josh," he says. Avalon hissing about secret IDs just makes Josh laugh a bit.

"Blue," Henry tells Avalon, "the dude just saved my life... or at least my arm. I'm going to let him crash at our place, at least overnight, and I'm not going to be wearing the mask all night. I did as much for you before you had a chance to save my life."

He turns back to Josh. "Come on, Josh. Pizza tonight. My treat. Then we'll figure out something a little more permanent, if you like."

Avalon isn't making a fuss, he's just more confused now. Henry has a point though, and he fluffs his feathers as he considers everything. After a moment he just gives up; Henry confuses him sometimes, and others Avalon just doesn't understand. He chalks it up to another one of those "silly Earthling" things.

"May we order the mush of room pizza again?" he then asks, starting to brighten. Confusion forgotten, he floats a bit higher, his wings flutteringa bit in his excitement. "Or maybe some of the soo-aww-sage?"

Josh grins brightly and nods. Before he can answer, his stomach growls and the healer laughs. "Pizza sounds amazing right now," he says. "And thank you so much for letting me stay over. I'm outta hotel money and I wasn't looking forward to a night in the park," he admits sheepishly. He blinks a few times at Avalon but figures out what he's trying to say. "Any toppings are fine with me."

I'm building a fucking harem, Henry thinks to himself. Now to get some diversity... I need to find some homeless Amazons or something.

He flies them back towards his house.
