Flash-forward to a possible future - Summer 2020

"You coming, LifeForce?" Henry asks, removing the rings from Malicors fingers and smashing them with a ring construct. He moves to Josh's side to let the healer also help fix him up.
Josh smiles and pats Avalon's shoulder once he finishes healing it. The healer cringes as Henry smashes the rings, his own awareness of them heightened over the years as well as his odd connection. Shaking it off, he turns his attention to Henry and starts healing him all over. "Sure."
Avalon is just glad the rings are smashed and Malicor can't keep using them. Every new ring that asshole gets means another Lantern lost their life. After a while, you have to make yourself stop thinking about how many had been smashed over the years.
He waits till Henry's go, and then uses his blue aura to envelop Josh, taking him along. Since Henry has Malicor, Ava seems content to make sure he gets their boyfriend.
A cage envelopes Malicor as they take to the sky, but Henry soon is by Josh's side, taking his hand as they fly. Josh has gotten better about space-travel over the years, but he's a far cry from comfortable out there in the black. He figures Blue can take his other hand while they go. Malicor, unconscious, floats behind them in his cell-construct.
Josh takes both the offered hands and then takes a deep breath. He doesn't like space. Atleast he's not in a state of near panic anymore.
Traveling has never been the same since Avalon came around. As soon as his and Josh's fingers touch, they're already almost all the way to Oa. Hopefully Josh and Henry have gotten used to that lurching jump by now - they've certainly done it enough.
Once nearing Oa airspace, Ava smirks a bit and glances over to Henry as he asks "You wanna take care of this and Josh and I can wait? Well.. unless.." he looks to Josh, "DO you want to see the planet surface?"
"You can see if Kilowog or Arisia are around," Henry suggests. "I won't be long."
He heads down towards the surface, bringing Malicor's cell with him. "See you guys in a bit?"
Joah closes his eyes a moment and then smirks. "Kilowog's around and hard at work by the sense of things. Arisa's not on planet," he adds. His senses have improved significantly.
He just nods in reply to Henry and glances to Ava.
Grinning to Henry, Ava nods his head and says "Sure thing, Green."
Looking to Josh, he gives the other man's hand a squeeze and asks "Wanna go see Wog? I bet he'll be happy to put me through my paces and give you some strife. Wanna go?"
"Sure," Josh remarks, going with Ava to see Kilowog and his recruits. The recruits got a quick lesson in working with a blue from Ava and Josh gets into another arm wrestling match with Kilowog like he usually does every time they're in the same room.
It's easy for the recruits to get overwhelmed with the aura of a Blue Lantern nearby. Thankfully, Avalon has started being a bit more present during bootcamps in the past few years, letting the White Circles get a taste of what it is like to fly with their cousin color. Not only does Avalon feel it's part of his unspoken duty to the Greens, but also, Avalon does it because he likes Kilowog and enjoys spending time (when he can) with the other alien.
Josh's wrestling match requires a second round though - Wog demands one after Josh wins - just like he always does.
Henry grins as he lowers in front of the wrestling match.
"Having fun?" he asks.
Josh laughs as he struggles against Kilowog. "I always do!"
Avalon just sends Henry a quiet little smile for a greeting, and then steps over to stand near Henry. While he is not a member of the Greens, he tries to stick close to Henry or Arisia or Wog when on Oa so that he doesn't offend anyone by being there. Not that he would but Ava's just like that.
"You're goin' down this time!" Kilowog says with a big grin, struggling with Josh over the wrestling match. |
