There are more than several bottles of hard liquor at the bottom of the tree. Up in the tree, cradled in one of the branches is a drunken half angel. He's staring out into space waving the bottle of vodka around not quite able to get it to his mouth. While he isn't looking at anything, in his mind's eye he can see the aliens as they fell under his sword. The fear in their eyes.

The thrill he got as the they died and the ship went crashing down.

He didn't see them. He saw only the aliens from his time. They were attacking him, therefore they had to be destroyed.

They had to be killed.

But when he finished and smelt the scorch of blood on his skin and in his feathers, he felt sick. He wanted to forget it all. 

Not having a telepath at hand, he did the next best thing, get completely and utterly drunk.

"I was tortured, yes. I was." Eli wobbles. "I am a horrible person.

"I don't want to help people. I want to hide away. I am a coward and don't want to fight. I'm a drunk and a druggie..." He's going to list all his faults.

"Those are only excuses." replies Avalon softly, his eyes on Eli's face. "I am empathic.. I can feel your emotions and I understand your pain. It's a cross to bear, but it is not what should define you. You want to be more, yes?"

"No. I don't want to be more. I want to go home."

He hunches over, wings over his head.

"Well. From what you've told me, there isn't much home to go back to." replies Avalon. It's a harsh, stark truth.. but there's no use sugar coating it in Avalon's eyes.

Looking out to the stars, Avalon says idly "I'm sorry that you are so homesick though.. I can never go back to my home either. Though I did not get slung into the past such as you, I am thousands of sectors away from Naltor now." he then smiles to Eli, "My home is Earth. If I like it or not."

"I want to go home before everything went bad."

He looks up in the stars. "Can't you just fly back with your ring or hitch a ride on a space ship?"

"I wouldn't survive the trip if I tried to fly it myself - I'm too vulnerable out in space." replies Avalon, "And besides, to leave Earth would be to go against my vows to fulfill my duty as a Lantern. So I can not leave."

He pauses, then asks softly "So what happens when 2019 comes and the end of the world is averted? Then what? Will you go back to your time line or stay here?"

He snorts. "Vows. Vows are only words. Words aren't anything, just sounds and noises, air being compressed and decompressed in meat and flesh. They don't mean anything."

Eli doesn't answer the question. He doesn't know.

"They may just be words, but they are my words, and I do not give my words unless i mean it." replies Avalon simply.

He hrms a bit, and then stands up, slinking so that he can look Eli in the face, in the eyes. "You have lost all hope." he then says softly.

He can look at Eli in the face but the half-angel won't let him look him in the eyes.

"You're assuming I had hope at all." Which is a complete and utter lie, he did have hope. When he was little and everything seemed wonderful.

"Everyone had hope at some time, you have to have something to loose it." replies Avalon rather reasonably. He grins widely then, his expression turning mischievous as he says "You need a bit of help, for you have lost your way.. not that it's really your fault; anyone would have lost their way, given the trials you have been through.."

"Superman wouldn't have. Dad wouldn't have." He's talking into his elbow right now, completely missing any expressions on the other winged boy's face.

"Well, you are not Superman, and you are not your father. You are you - and you should at least have a sliver of hope for your future.." replies Avalon in a breathy tone. He shifts up, his fingers Reaching out to draw Eli's face up so that the half angel could see Avalon's smile. If Eli looks closely, his pupils and iris are no longer their usual ocean blue, but transposed with a certain symbol.

"I hope that you will find what you are looking for Eli, and that when you find it, it will be what you always wanted it to be.." he then murmurs as he leans in, expecting to kiss Eli on the forehead. Avalon can't create constructs without Henry near, but he can extend his aura.. and he hopes that maybe he can help Eli see the blue light.

Eli jerks his head up just enough so that the kiss moves from his forehead to his mouth. He tastes like sweat, drink and salty tears. He's also quite firm with his kiss.

Okay, so touching other people is hard enough for Avalon - by touching another, he creates a physical connection with them that links him into their emotions with his empathy. He was expecting such a empathic connection to start when he touched Eli, but kissing on the lips is something that causes the connection to hum especially quickly and loud.

There is a muffled sound of surprise from Avalon, but he doesn't pull away. Instead he just pushes his aura over Eli, letting the half angel be bathed in blue.

Encouraged, as he's not being shoved away, Eli leans forward into the kiss, his wings spreading to keep his balance.

If Eli feels it or not, Avalon's blue aura comes flowing out of him, enveloping the two of them and starts to lift them into the air, out of the tree.

Of course, that's nothing compared to what kissing Avalon is like. Hope - pure, unadulterated, selfless Hope - pours into Eli, fed to him by Avalon's own lips. Of course, the winged alien's empathy makes it hard for him to do much more than return the kiss as long fingers press through Eli's hair, holding him close. As the blue light lifts them out of the branches, Avalon pulls himself to Eli, his silver wings curling tightly against his spine and sides, the stiff primary feathers brushing Eli's flank.
