"How was I anything but straightforward with you?" demands Avalon, though he's quickly swinging from anger to sorrow. It's like an old foe has come to gnaw at them - it's been years since he and Henry had a misunderstanding of this magnitude.

"I was 18. It's not like I was all that much older than you," he then points out softly, "And I tried to tell you, to the best of my ability. I thought you understood well enough at the time.. I see that was probably a grand mistake on my part to assume and not make sure that you understood." Josh isn't the only one that has a headache, though it's more than just Ava's head that's hurting.

Henry stares at him for a long moment.

"Are you done?" he asks in a quiet tone.

Josh just stares. "Guys...c'mon," he doesn't know what to do and he's getting worried.

Henry's icy reply makes Ava's fists clench, and he draws in a deep breath before finally blowing it back out before he speaks.

"Yes. I am done." he then replies in just an icy tone, before turning and heading for the planet. Avalon really can't stand being looked at that way much longer, and he's far too confused right now to stick around and subject himself to Henry's coldness.

He isn't even sure where he's going right now, he's just putting distance between himself and the angry Earthling so that maybe he can sort out what is going on.

Henry sets his chin in frustration.

"Nice," he says quietly.

He turns to Josh. "I assume you'd like to go home?" he asks, starting to head back towards the planet as well.

"Ava!" Josh calls after him. The healer sighs and hangs his head. Henry just gets a sad look. "Home...JLA base...wherever we get to first..." he trails off sadly.

"I... need some space for a bit, Josh," Henry explains gently. "Wherever you want to be dropped off. I'm... going out for a bit."

"Yeah...I figured..." Josh murmurs.
