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...

"Oh yeah...lots of fun," Josh agrees, flushing again. He pauses at the questions though. "What?"

Henry shrugs. "You're an awesome guy. Avalon was worried that... maybe you thought... that we'd be, like, dating or something."

Josh blinks a few times and his smile slowly shrinks. "Oh," he says.

Josh, you're pretty dumb.

"Naw. I knew we wouldn't be doing that whole relationship thing," he says as he looks back up, forcing a smile.

Henry smiles. "That's what I thought." He slips off his bathrobe and boxers, hanging the robe on the door and tossing the boxers in the hamper. "I'm gonna take a shower," he tells Josh. "There's coffee brewing in the kitchen, if you want to get up."

And he strolls out of the room towards the bathroom.

Josh keeps up the false smile and nods. It becomes a lot easier when Henry just strips right there in front of him. He kicks himself for the first thought that comes to mind but still watches the Green Lantern's backside. "Yeah. Thanks," he says.

The healer waits until Henry's in the bathroom before he looks up at the ceiling and sighs. "I should know better by now," he murmurs.

He'll probably be taking Henry up on the offer for more fun sometime in the future. He is still a teenage boy after all. But for the moment he just sighs.

Serves me right for thinking I'd be that lucky.
