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...

"Abercrombie and Fitch?" he explains. "They have decent styles."

"Oh!" Josh exclaims as he recognizes the name. "The store that has the magazine with all the nude models in it," he says, blushing a little. "Yeah. That place has some nice stuff. Lead the way."

Unable to keep from gawking at Josh, Avalon is aghast at the idea of naked models. "Why would a clothing store have naked models?" He asks.

He follows the other boys, scratching at his blond head as he asks "Isn't A&F where we saw those jackets, last time we were here? Now that I understand that I could use a jacket, I think it would be very nice."

Henry takes the lead as they head towards the store.

"Josh... you mind if I ask how long you've been on the streets?"

Josh shrugs at Avalon. "I think your reaction might be why," he says. "Ya know...to get attention," he says.

He blinks at Henry's question and looks up. "Not entirely sure how long. I know it was September when I left home though. So more than half a year."

Henry nods. "If you don't want to talk about it, it's cool; you don't have to. But... why did you leave? Something happen at home?"

Josh frowns and looks down. "It's well," he shrugs. "Mom was in jail my whole life. I was actually born there. Got raised by my Grandparents. Mom died, then my grandparents died shortly after, and you know where my dad is so," he gestures vaguely. "No other family and since I didn't want to end up in foster care and at that point I didn't know who my father was...just that he was in Keystone City...I left to go looking for him."

"And then you found out," Henry says quietly.

"Yeah," Josh sighs. "In the Flash museum. Nice little display about what he did and everything. Saw one of those messed up knives him and the cult used too. Got the full details from the Keystone City Library. Considered going to visit him up in that jail but I figured it better he doesn't know I exist."

Avalon follows along, coming and going as he sees things he might like. Now, where Henry can't get him to wear underpants, Avalon is quite easily becoming a clothes horse. The more he learns about Human fashion, the more he likes it on himself.

"I'm glad that you are not in prison." he says to Josh, before grinning to the boy and loops an arm around his neck.

"You have me and Henry now. You have been alone for a very long time, but Hope has shined upon us all and given us a wonderful blessing."

Josh laughs and blushes when Avalon just grabs him. "I'm glad I'm not in prison too, Ava," he says, not fighting the contact. "Glad I met you guys too."
