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...

Making sure he's out of sight, Henry lets Ava's wings come back, then he hops in the car. "Ava's going to go flying for a bit," he says. "He feels a little cooped up without his wings for too long. He'll call me if he runs into trouble." Henry starts the car's engine, and begins heading home.

After a few moments of silence, he glances at Josh. "You're pretty quiet."

Josh jumps as Ava goes off.

"See ya, Ava," he says softly, watching the Blue Lantern go. He goes back to being quiet until Henry speaks up and then jumps.

"I am?" he asks. "Honestly, I didn't notice. I mean...you guys are the first people I've really talked to in a long while. I'm used to only having myself to talk to," he chuckles a bit.

"I don't want you to be weirded out or feel compelled or anything," Henry explains. "If anything... you know how superheroes or cops or firemen can get ... sorta like... groupies after they save them? Or even sometimes go out with the people they save?"

Josh blinks a few times, trying to figure out what Henry's saying. "No...I don't know. I'm used to just jumping in, saving someone, and then running for it to the next person or outta there..." he trails off.

"Wait..." he pauses. "Are you saying something like you think I'm only doing this because you're helping me out or something?"

"No, man," he says. "Well... maybe I'm a little worried about that. But not much. I'm doing this because you need it, not because I want anything, and if you told me you didn't want to do anything, I'd be totally okay with that." He grins. "A little disappointed, but okay. If anything... consider my your groupie tonight. You saved my arm, if not my life." He reaches over and rests a hand on Josh's knee.

Josh is quiet a moment, just glancing down at the hand on his knee. "Groupie?" he asks, a little amused. After a moment he takes a breath. "Henry, I know you're not doing anything for me because you want something in return. That's not a superhero thing and from what I've seen, not something you'd do," he says. "To be honest, I've been kinda thinking about this since you took off your mask," he admits. "I'm very okay with doing something tonight...been more worried you wouldn't be."

Henry laughs. "I don't know if you noticed, Josh, but I'm remarkably easy."

Josh just ends up blushing again. "I umm...didn't notice much..."

"I mean, like, stupidly easy." He laughs. "But look. We'll take this at whatever pace you're comfortable with."

Josh chuckles a little. "Honestly...I'm okay if you wanna just go back to your place and screw like bunnies," he blushes furiously. "or if ya wanna just hang," he says.

Henry's hand moves up from Josh's knee, to rest on his thigh. "Then let's just get back and take it as it comes." He grins.

Josh reaches over to place a hand on Henry's thigh as well. He swallows and nods. "Sure thing."
