All-out War at Warriors
Unlike most of New York, Petra loved her job. It wasn't for getting special treatment or anything for being the big boss' daughter, she'd put a stop to that the first time she got a hint of it. It wasn't the tips, although she'd long since established the perfect margin for cleavage, skirt-length, and makeup to maximize them. It was being part of the family business. Daddy had turned one bar into a mounting international franchise of upscale but still family accessible bar-and-restaurants. Interplanetary, actually, considering there was one on Oa as well.

Her job was her pride and joy, waitress or not. That and her collection of boots anyway.

And boy was that about to be tested.

It turns a few heads at first as some brightly dressed individuals enter the place, but it's not so uncommon. Plenty of regulars come in costumes of their favorite heroes and villains, or make their own togs. It's when the occasional use of tech or metahuman powers starts getting noticed that some people start asking for their checks. Soon, the place is emptying out in a slow but noticeable flow of customers.

Then one of the other waitresses, and a waiter as well, both of them rather fetching, get pulled in to sit with them at the large booth they're taking up like a mentally imbalanced football team (bit repetitive there, but still).

Petra scowls, cracks her neck, and strolls over, pulling Tara and Byron out and shooing them off. The air starts to get colder around her.

"Alright guys, your drinks so far are on the house, if you clear out right now. No need for this to get uglier than you sitting down already made it."

	Cindy reaches into her bag, pulling out an oversized disembodied head, balding and male, with a perplexed expression on its face. It opens its mouth, vomiting out red beams of heat. "That's one way to get a head, Cindy!" Sandy tells her sister, rocketing by on her horse... then she gets taken down by Rex's mace, hitting the ground. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mandy is furious. Her hair is messed up! But this is not going well. She taps into the magics of her earrings, and retreats, phasing through the walls of the building across the street from Warriors as she goes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Apollo snarls as his opponent seems to be shrugging off the hits. "That's something of the idea, you miserable pri--OOF!" He gets the wind knocked out of him as he gets a faceful of snow and Henry collides with him. Eyes tearing up, but still able, he flips the gun around in his hand deftly and starts pistol-whipping the brat in the face. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry thankfully has shields which keep the attack from damaging too much, though it still hurts as the pistol collides with his face. "Fuck off, you old crusty fart!" Henry flies back and creates bands of green energy around Apollo, intending to trap him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Having taken a wound in the arm during the scuffle outside, Avalon isn't so much hurt, as pissed. He comes gliding out of the bar, his wings spread wide.

Of course, the first thing he sees is Henry getting clocked in the face with a pistol.

Everything else in the world falls away, and all that seems to exist is the things that Avalon must mind: Henry, Apollo and Josh. The thing about Avalon is that he's not your normal Blue Lantern. He isn't afraid of getting hurt, or even of getting down and messy in the trenches with Henry. It's why he was sent to be Henry's partner in the first place; those in charge of the Blue Lanterns knew that if any of their Corps would be a match for Hal Jordan's son, it was the winged Nalorian.

Avalon barrels into action, his ring forming a sword made of blue light. He then launches himself at Apollo's back, trying to buffet the man away from Henry and get him off Avalon's partner.

If there is one thing that Avalon has learned from Henry, it is constructs. He uses his blue sword construct to slash at Apollo, but the blade doesn't cut as it might with a real sword. Instead, the blue light tries to absorb it's self into Apollo, to heal him of any maladies of rage or fear or avarice.

	Traya barely dodged out of the way of the heat beam from the head, and returned fire with a tornado blast. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rex grins as one of the rocket twins goes down and sets his sights on the other. His wings flap and he takes off after her as quickly as possible, his mace raised to strike when he catches her. He almost wishes Hope was here to enjoy this, or at least a beer afterward. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh frowns slightly when Apollo starts attacking Henry and starts forward. He stops when he senses Avalon and the wound though, jumping when the Blue Lantern shoots by and focusing on the wound. He glances around at the rest of the battle and really isn't sure what to do with himself since everyone else seems to have things in hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)
