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.

Out for his daily flight, Avalon couldn't help but find himself being drawn towards a certain tree and a certain very drunk young man. His sorrow was almost something that Avalon could taste - it made his head hurt in a way.

"Uhm. Hello there." he said as he landed, and carefully folded his silver feathered wings against his spine. "Are you okay?"

Eli gives the other winged fella a look of 'what are you? Stupid?'.

His own wings are sprawled out 'messily' and are probably in need of preening, for lack of a better word.

"Yeah, I am. I'm just getting drunk out of my mind for shits and giggles."

Avalon just gives the other winged guy a half annoyed look, as he crossed his hands over his chest. "First of all, I know that you're not alright, you're very upset and you are wallowing in your misery. You drew me over here, you're so miserable."

He then draws in a breath, his expression offering a shy smile as he says "So, I came to ask you what was wrong.. Obviously you wouldn't be drinking yourself to a retarded state if there wasn't something."

Taking a chance, Avalon comes forward, standing at the base of the tree as he says "My name is Avalon.."

"I am Eli. Killer of aliens, blower upper of stuff, and a terrible angel." He laughs, off kilter. "Good thing I'm only half or I'd have to worry about being turned into a demon. Not that they haven't tried, demons I mean. I've been kidnapped several times because they wanted to turn me."

Clearly, he's hit the rambling stage of being utterly drunk.

All of the rambling strikes a chord in Avalon, and he brightens visibly. "Oh, you're half angel? That's fantastic!" he then says.Not waiting to see if Eli minds or not, Avalon slides into the tree, surprisingly nimble between the branches, even with his wings.

Once he's up a bit closer, he grins at Eli and says "When I was sent here by the Blue Lanterns, they told me that my wings were a consideration in their choosing of me because I resembled the Earthling angels." he presses a hand to his chest, "I am from Naltor - many sectors away in space. I never expected to meet one in person, I am honored."

He doesn't seem to mind Avalon joining him. In fact he offers him a sip from his current bottle. It's cheap vodka.

"Oh, Blue Lanterns... yes... hope and burning." He laughs again. "I met a Blue Lantern once. She went PFFFFT EEERRRCRUSSSHIK and then splat."

Frowning he then goes, "I think they ate her ring."

Avalon just eyes the bottle and then takes it to be polite, though after he takes a drink it's obvious he's never had the stuff. He does his best not to sputter.

"Yes, not all Blues are quite as hearty as I am." he then agrees. "I've tried to get them to teach the new recruits a bit more tactics but.." he sighs and then shrugs, "But they don't need to listen to me, I suppose."

He finds a crook of the tree to get comfortable in, his eyes turning skyward as he asks softly "Who were they? The demons you mentioned?" he glances to Eli, "I also bet she didn't have a Green nearby.. Without a Green all of us Blues are pretty helpless."

The bottle is taken back and a good gulp is chugged. He then will pass it back, if Avalon will take it.

"Oh... demon demons. From like Hell and stuff. All corrupting the innocent and stealing your soul."

He tilts his head up and looks into the sky, though it's hard to tell what he's seeing. "Always thought that was stupid. She had a Green. He went splat too."

Then his voice drops to a hoarse whisper. "They took out Superman, you know? The Aliens. One shot."

The burn of the vodka makes Avalon crinkle his nose idly, though he doesn't deny it when Eli offers it once more. He simply listens to Eli, not judging or speaking till Eli seems to have said his peace.

"Yea.. it sucks, but you can't have Hope without Will.. and Will can never reach it's highest potential without Hope." he murmurs.

As Eli speaks again, Avalon takes a long swig on the vodka and then offers the bottle back, his eyes on the half-angel. "All men - even Superman - are mortal. All mortals can and will one day fall. I suppose that I am fortunate that I know my death already, so I do not worry about what comes between then and now."

He tilts his head to the side, and asks "This time that Superman fell.. When was this?"

"That's stupid," Eli says. He clearly has no issues with judging anything Avalon says. "I don't know why, but it is."

He has nothing to say about the whole knowing when he dies thing, because he doesn't particularly care.

"Vaporized. He was vaporized. Poof! In 2017." Eli ruffles his wings. "Can't come back from that."

"Oh.. so this was somewhere else?" asks Avalon. He's feeling quite heady from the vodka, and it's making his questions steer away from the usual restraint he might use.

"Yea.. a lot of the Lantern stuff is corny.." admits Avalon, "Until you become an agent for this stuff, and have to live what you embody.. It's really hard to take with a straight face."

Eli shakes his head and then looks like he's about to fall out of his perch. He manages to catch himself though. "Nah... future. FUUUUTURE. I'm from 2019. I'm only nine years old now. If I'm here. Never checked. Don't wanna check."

Then. "Rayner was an ass. Stupid, stupid ass."

"Ah, okay I see." replies Avalon then, smiling to Eli. He seems ready to try and catch his new friend when he almost falls, but none the less he doesn't move any closer.

"Rayner? As in the Green Lantern?" he asks. "I've not met him.. He's spoken of in high regard though among the Lanterns. I take it that he's the one that causes all this terrible future?"

He laughs then, his expression taking on a smirk as he says "I have some information that you may or may not wish to know..."

He chugs, yes chugs, another bit of Vodka.

"No. He's the only one who survived... of the big ones, you know? Superman Pffft. Wonder Woman Pfft. Batman Pffft. Jordan Pfft. Martian Manhunter pfft. All dead." He takes another gulp. "He sent me back here."

Eli tilts his head, which briefly makes him go cross-eyed. "What?"

Sliding up some, Avalon gives Eli a bright smile as he takes the bottle after the half-angel's chugging. He takes a pull, and then says "The people or my mother's world are precognitive, and when she foresaw my death, it was in the defense of the Earth. I try to not say much about that time, but I will say that the future that you came from is not the fate of this Earth."

He takes one last swig and then offers the bottle (however empty) to Eli. "It seems something changed to make your future different." he then says. "But thankfully, you are here. And not there. I am glad to have met you."

Eli looks at the empty bottle and tries to get the dregs before absently tossing it down. It clinks against the other bottles on the ground.

If Avalon's words were meant to comfort him, they don't work.

"You mean I fucked up and ended up on the wrong Earth? And now I'm fucking stuck here and can't get back and save mine?"

[info]bluelantern
2010-04-13 04:36 pm UTC (link)
Avalon just shrugs a bit, his expression apologetic. "Maybe you didn't fuck up. Maybe something happens between then and now, that causes you to save the world from that fate. There is still time.. Still almost nine years. Anything can happen in that time."

He then looks up and away to the sky again, sighing as he says "I am not precognitive.. I am not fully Naltorian. So I can not say what happens between then and now."

"Yeah, I could be dead," he says morosely. Looking around he realizes that he's out of drink. Damn. "Need more drink..."

"What are you then?" he asks, "I mean your other half?"

"Oh. My father is from Starhaven.." replies Avalon easily. "He's where the wings comes from - though he can fly in space where as it takes me using my ring to be able to do the same."

He grins some, and then looks to Eli as he asks "If you need more drink, then why don't you get it?" he pauses then, and says softly "I'm glad that you are not dead now. You are quite an interesting person."

"That would require moving! And if I move I may fall. And if I fall, it'll hurt, specially since there's broken glass at the bottom of the tree." Eli's logic is impeachable.

"Am I? I thought I was a horrible horrible horrible horrible person who was horrible."

"it's too bad that my Green isn't closer, or I could keep you from falling." says Avalon with a grin. He then shrugs a bit to Eli's protests about himself, his expression growing more into one of amusement.

"You are not a horrible person." he states simply, "I can tell. You may be tortured, but that does not mean you are horrible."

"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.
