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...

"Of course Jai is pissed, this hits awfully close to home for him. And he's used to being the defensive one where all things Central and Keystone are concerned. With his sister, he's had to be. So, how do you want me to help, Henry? I can make arrangements for a safe place to stay, put in a good word with the JSA or Titans after that?"

"He's going to stay here tonight," Henry explains. "Least I could do for his help. Tomorrow... I'd like to see about finding him somewhere that can help him. Maybe the Titans... or maybe we could make sure he's clear, and have him join the League. I mean, Gypsy joined the League once because she tried to steal a jet."

"Ok, if you've got it for tonight... great. Joining the Titans is probably doable. They're well set up for trainees... joining the League... we'd have to meet him. That would require a vote. The senior league has given us some leeway, but they'd need to approve it... then we'd need majority approval... including going over Jai's head. I'm not saying no, but its the harder path. Either way, I think we can help him out. What do you need from me, short term?"

"For now... just making sure you've got my back," Henry sighs. "And maybe... talk to Jai? He might listen to you."

"When it comes to giving someone at least a first chance, yeah, Henry, I've got your back. I'll see what I can do about talking to Jai, but I can't make any promises."
