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...

"Don't fight it. He'll just get you some anyway." whispered Avalon to Josh, as they walk after Henry. He's been on this part of the tour before, and he just gave up.

Reaching out, Avalon takes up a bottle and sniffs at it before he quickly thrusts it back onto the shelf. "Crap sandwich!" he exclaims. His grasp on Human pop culture and slang still has a few holes, it seems.

Henry sighs and just hands Josh a bottle.

"A little goes a long way. The last thing you want is to smell like you bathed in Axe. Some people love the scent, but it's better to give just a hint of a good smell." He gives a conspiratorial wink.

Josh just blinks. "He will?" he whispers back. He holds in the snicker that wants out at Avalon's exclamation and then turns to Henry.

"Axe? That spray stuff? Ugh..." he trails off. He sniffs at the bottle offered and nods. "This is good," he says, blushing a little from the wink.

"Good. Grab what else you need, and meet me at the counter." Henry notices the flush, and smirks inwardly. Maybe he won't be uncomfortable with a little flirting... No. Bad Henry. The guy needs help, not some sexing up. You can flirt with him later, when he doesn't feel like he owes you anything.

Avalon has long since wandered off to the candy aisle, and comes back with his arms full of one of those giat bags of Twizzlers. "Can I Henry, pleeeeeeease?" he asks, as he waits with the other kid by the counter.

"I uh...alright," Josh gives in. He's pretty sure he'll lose any argument with Henry.

After a few moments of searching, he comes back with some generic supplies. Avalon and the candy get a blink before Josh chuckles. "Okay...got everything I should need," he says. He of course picked out the absolute cheapest ones as is habit.

Henry looks down at Josh's selection. It's all the cheapest stuff.

He sighs. If they're going to get some good clothes in tonight before the shops close, they have to get going. He doesn't have time to correct this now.

But he knows he'll need to keep a closer eye on Josh's selections.

He tosses Avalon's Twizzlers on the counter. "You're sharing," he tells his partner, then turns back to Josh as the cashier rings them out.

"You don't have to stick to the cheap stuff," he informs Josh. "I mean, for clothes, we're not exactly going to be hitting the Goodwill."

Josh just blinks. "I don't...oh," he blushes. "Sorry. I'm just used to living on a very limited budget..." he trails off, still blushing. "Goodwill has nice selections. That's where I got these jeans," he says as he points down at said denim.

"Yeah, and that's great for people who need it. Today... you don't. Leave the good selections down at Goodwill for the people who need it."

He finishes paying, handing Avalon his candy, and leads him back out. "To the mall!" He pauses, considering. "We might run into a couple of my friends from school. Ava, remember... you're a cousin visiting from out of town."

"Okay, Henry," Josh says, not believing he's run into someone that's being so nice to him. He follows the other two out quietly, smile on his face.

"Should I come up with some kinda cover?" Josh asks at the news of Henry's friends. "Or do ya want me to not be seen or something?" he asks, unsure.

Henry gives Josh a Are you SERIOUS?! look.

"You're a friend from out of town, Josh. Simple as that. I'm showing you around."

Josh jumps a little at the look he gets and swallows. "Okay," he says. "That sounds good."

Sitting in the back seat, Avalon is too busy munching on his Twizzlers to mind that Henry is doing the reminder thing again. "Twizzlers taste like snozzberries." he replies, before giving a bit of a laugh and then added, "Of course, cousin. Besides, didn't you say that I should say that I'm from Remulack, a small town in France? Maybe when we get home you can show me where it is on a map. I've not been able to find it but.. it's gotta be there. I just know it."

He then looks to Josh and nudges the seat in front of him - Avalon is in the back seat, after all. "Stop. Worrying. All. Will. Be. Well!" he then says, with emphasis in his somewhat naturally European pronunciation of things..

A short drive later, they're in the mall, starting in the department store. Okay, department stores are lame places to get chick (and guy) magnet clothes, but it's important to get some basics.

He stops at the underwear section and hopes Josh doesn't embarrass too easily.

Josh glances back at Avalon. "What's a snozzberry?" he asks. "Food from your home?" he goes on. He blinks a few times at the town Ava names and looks up. "Never heard of that place," he says softly.

He jumps when nudged and blushes again. "I'm trying...sorry," he says.

When they get to the department store, Josh looks around with a smile. "Man...haven't been in one of these places since I was a real little kid," he remarks idly. He does blush again when they get to the underwear section but tries to hide it. Bad Josh...stop thinking about the guys trying to help you in underwear. he thinks.

Henry doesn't help matters by quickly finding a couple sets of silk boxers for himself.

"Oh, score," he mutters to himself.

Josh glances up from the boxer-briefs he looks through to see Henry with the boxers. The healer blinks and turns bright red. "Oh man..." he trails off quietly. "So what's after this section?" he asks, trying not to look at the Lantern as long as he's got the boxers in hand.

Slipping up hehind Josh, Avalon leans up onto his toes and whispers, "Just play along, or refuse to wear them. Either way, if you do not, he will soon be looking for your size as well." With a wide smile, Avalon added, "I refuse to wear them. They are unnatural."

He then flits past, going over to Henry where he pokes at one of the pairs of silk boxers, before he pops some candy in his mouth and grins at Henry widely as he says "I dunno, H.. this pair doesn't compliment your eyes the way the other pair does."

Josh blinks as he senses Avalon coming up behind him and resists the urge to squeak at the whisper. He's not sure what the Blue Lantern means.

"Unnatural?" he asks, lowering the pack in hand. He just ends up staring at Ava and Henry, not sure how to play along yet.

Henry rolls his eyes at Ava. "Blue, if they're seeing me in these, I'm hoping they're not looking into my face." He looks back at Josh. "Get at least enough for a week," he tells him. "And pick something comfy, not cheap."

"Shouldn't they look at the whole picture and not just the uhh...excited parts?" Josh asks while blushing. He blinks at the instructions though.

"I've umm...never actually bought underwear before. How am I supposed to know what size is right?"

Henry blinks, a little shocked at this. "Um... waist size. Elastic makes sure it'll fit if you're close enough. He leans over and points to the measurements by the size.

"Really?" Josh asks. "Huh..." the healer trails off. "That makes sense. My uhh...grandparents, that's who I grew up with...were a bit over protective. Grandma insisted on doing all the shopping herself...wouldn't let me try my hand on it," he explains as he tries to make up his mind on whether he wants boxers or briefs.

Avalon just makes a face, thoughly disgusted with the idea of wearing underware. Then again, he had issues with keeping his clothes on as it already was, and whitey tighties just seemed the antithesis of freedom for him. Or so he had cried in horror at Henry I the near past.

"I don't like them. At all. You're better off Free Fallin', like that song." Avalon shared to Josh, before he took another bite of Snozzberry Twillzler.

"Ava, if you end up coming to school, gym class will be tough to explain," he says, shaking his head.
