And then... there was Hope.
Brother Avalon had been traveling for a long time, but he would have gladly traveled twice as far if it meant reaching Earth in time. The cry for Hope had reached Odym, and his fellow Lanterns had been quick to react. Unfortunately, things were so strained across the galaxy that they could only afford one Blue Lantern.. and so Brother Avalon had been sent.

Outside of the atmosphere, Earth is a beautiful blue and green planet. Avalon finds himself unfurling his wings, his breath caught in his throat because of it's beauty. He knows that this very well may be his last assignment - Saint Walker had made it quite clear that Avalon was to remain on Earth until hope could be restored to that sector of the universe. It could take years.. maybe even Avalon's lifetime.

The boy does not find that intimidating however, and instead of simply flying into the clouds, he takes a moment to consult his ring. Saint Walker has given Avalon another tip - the name of a certain Green Lantern whom he should seek out immediately upon arrival.

"Ring. Locate Henry Jordan." he murmurs, his voice soft and accented in a way that is almost musical.

<Green Lantern Henry Jordan is currently located in Coast City.> replies the ring, and Avalon nods his blond head to the thing.

"Take me to him." replies the Nalorian, his lips curling into a smile. Avalon can not help but feel excitement quicken within him; he is thrilled to meet this Green Lantern. Lantern battery in hand, Avalon wills himself to this place called Coast City, to wherever Henry Jordan might be.

	"That'd be nice," Henry replies. Best not to correct him on the mating thing. Close enough, really. "You pretty much shot my chances of getting lucky tonight, but that's okay. It's at least important, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Avalon shifts his wings, the sound of feathers rustling against one another as he nibbles at his lower lip. He is uncertain now, though he does his best to keep it from showing, as much as he can.

"I have been sent by Saint Walker and the other Blue Lanterns to help you.. Earth is in dire need of Hope, and I've been instructed to help Earth's people find it once more.." he pauses, then adds in a softer tone, "I have been requested to work as your partner.. if you are agreeable."

	"Partner, huh?" Henry chews his lip a moment. At least he didn't announce that when he showed up. Plus... at least he was something of some eye candy. "Okay," he nods. "I'm agreeable. But I need to set some ground rules." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ground rules?" echoes the alien, who then takes a step forward and offers Henry a bit of a shy smile. "Rules such as.. announce myself before interrupting you with another, perhaps?" he then asks as humor takes over his expression, and he can't help but flash Henry a wide and amused smile.

	"Exactly," he laughs. "Or at least offer to join in!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Oh my! That makes Avalon flush darkly, and he shifts a bit under Henry's scrutiny. With a flutter of his lashes, Avalon makes himself take a deep breath and then says softly "I wouldn't want to interrupt.. I shall.. mind your privacy in the future, I promise."

Now this is a wholly new development; Avalon did not expect his new partner to be.. so inclined. It certainly made things a bit more interesting.

	Henry laughs. "Remember," he adds, "I've got a secret identity. I don't want everyone to know I'm a Green Lantern." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-09 01:13 am UTC (link)
	"Right. Secret identity." replies Avalon, before he pauses and frowns a bit. "But.. how do you expect to explain me? You may be able to blend in with the masses, but I am not.. quite so easily hidden." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

That question just caused Avalon to blink a few times, before he then sighed out a deep breath and said "Well.. I don't think that any of that had been considered. I was just sent here to find you. And help." he then adds more softly, "I.. didn't expect to be intruding so much into your life."

Now, Avalon is having to consider a whole host of things. Things like where he was supposed to sleep, and how he might intergrate into this alien culture. But then he realizes - he's yet to even have introduce himself to Henry. Flushing a bit, Avalon offered Henry a bit of a smile and then said softly "I'm sorry - I didn't tell you my name.. I am Avalon N'turi."

Henry had missed it, too. Truth be told, he's only starting to get bloodflow back to his brain again.

But despite his deserved reputation as a horndog, Henry is not completely shallow. He moves to Avalon's side. "Hey, it's cool." He puts a soothing hand on his shoulder. "So you jumped in without thinking. I can understand that." He leads Avalon towards the couch. "I did the same thing when I got my ring."

"I didn't just get my ring.. it was more.. the sheer amount of need that pressed me to hurry." Avalon answers as he lets himself be directed to the couch. "That is one of my flaws - I admit - I always rush off before everything is realized.."

The couch brought up a whole new challenge, and eventually Avalon ends up crouching on the cushion, his wings curled as tightly as he can press them against his spine. Although it's probably a bit of an entertaining thing to watch him try and figure out just what to do with himself.

	"Excitement is excitement," Henry says. He puts a reassuring hand on his new partner's knee. "No matter how many times I've done it, flying is still a rush." (Reply to this)(Parent)
