Crumbling walls..
Henry had gone to take Felicity back to Oa and ensure that she was dealt with properly, leaving Avalon in charge back on Earth to get everything settled into place. This was a job that Avalon hadn't minded in the slightest - he was happy to serve as Henry's second and see to it that the mess was cleaned up and that everyone was in one piece. Avalon loved Henry's friends, and even though he might not have known everyone, he was still careful to spend a bit of time with each Hero, making sure that they were in a good mental state and were solidly safe to return home.

Once he had seen everyone off, he turned at last to Katima, and offered her a small and tire smile. "I am glad that you did not find injury, Sister." he said softly, the softest ghost of sadness about his emotions. Avalon was empathic as well - he could mask himself from broadcasting what he felt, and had been doing so since that night that he'd gone flying with Josh. Avalon simply didn't feel that he needed to bother Katima with what he was feeling.

"I'm glad that you and Henry came in time, though. That was terrible." he murmured.

She could just faintly sense his sadness and thus she reached out and hugged him close.

"I am so sorry, Avalon. I feel as though I am to blame. I should have known."

He knews in that instant that she understands what he's been going through in regards to Henry. Still, he found it hard to open up completely; this was his cross to bear for his own naivety.. but he still tried.

"It's not your fault, Katima. I should have known better and not let my heart get away from me. I'm just glad that you are happy." he saaid with full honesty, and then returned the hug tightly. It felt good to have arms around him that understood. Josh understood, but it's not quite the same as how an empath understands.

"I should have felt it, Avalon. I didn't and I failed you. Instead of seeing what was obvious, I let myself..." She shook her head. "Please forgive me."

Crinkling his nose, Avalon his shook his head. "That's Henry for you." He then shook his head and hugged Katima close again, his words softly spoken into her ear as he said "He has a way of casting a spell on people, and you simply are what I hope will be his last."

His expression darkened, and he looked away from her eyes, "I warned him to be careful with Josh's heart,and he didn't listen."

"I can live with my broken heart but I cannot abide Josh being hurt." She looked at him and she understood completely then. Partner. Oh... "And I cannot abide your heart being broken either." She turned away in shame. "I will set things right."

"Katima, please.." murmured Avalon as he reached out, drawing her back to him, to turn back around and face him without shame. The Nalorian drew in a deep breath, and then offered her as big of a smile as he could muster, very careful to let her feel every bit of his truth as he said "Katima, this is not your fault, and I do not wish for all of us to end up hurt. Henry seems to have made his choice, and there is no reason for us to go and meddle with that."

Long fingers reached out, pushing some of her hair back as ocean colored eyes searched her face. "Please Katima. Don't tell Henry. I don't exist to him in that way; he doesn't understand because my translator is broken. There is no reason to cause more pain or to resist happiness for yourself. I was the foolish one. There is nothing to be set right; all is as it should be."

She rest her forehead to his and embraced him.

"He does not love me, either, Avalon. I understand that now. I must tell him, not of your pain but of how he has used me. And Josh. I must tell him so none more are hurt."

"Katima, please do not." replied Avalon softly. "He does feel for you differently than the others.. Please just.. let things be. There is no reason to start a fuss over this - me especially."

He then paused, and said softly "Let me speak to him about Josh. I know him best, and I should at least try.. You do not need to become involved, Katima."

There was no anger in his voice, just pleading. Avalon didn't want to offend Henry and overwhelm him, even though Avalon himself was suffering in plain sight every day.

She sighed.

"Okay, Avalon. For you I will hold my tongue. But if he brings things up, I will speak my mind."

"Thank you, I know that it pains you to have to do so, but I thank you." murmured Avalon before he crushed her with another hug.
