Houseguests Hanging Out
The prospect of going back to school has Josh a bit nervous. He's not worried about grades or anything like that, confident he can handle the material. It's all those people. But thankfully, he doesn't have to go yet.

Instead, Josh is staying at Henry's place while the Green Lantern is at school. And since he doesn't want to be a complete mooch, the healer's in the kitchen cleaning. He hums a little tune while he finishes the dishes. "There..." he trails off as he completes the task.

	Henry might as well have seen them eating a sandwich and warned them about getting crumbs on the couch for all that he's acknowledging it. He fills a large pot with water. "Good to have my dad back," he tells them. "He's a little annoyed that I didn't tell him about you, Josh, but that's my own fault. I totally spaced it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He seems really nice," comments Avalon as he flops onto a stool, and then makes a low noise of surprise, "Oh, so I learned something today." he announces. "I learned that I sound like I'm more from the UK than from France." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He is nice," Josh agrees. He then jumps slightly. "He's annoyed? I can go if he wants...I don't mind sleeping in the backyard or..." he trails off nervously. He really does have issues. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry rolls his eyes at Josh. "Knock it off, man. He's annoyed at me, not you, and it's because I was a dumbass and forgot to let him know." He puts the water on the stove. "And yeah, my dad rocks. I lucked out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hrming a bit, Avalon grabs a banana and starts to peel the thing as he watches Henry and Josh both. "Quit that, Josh!" he then quietly says, "Seriously, we're not going to kick you out.." He then pops some fruit in his mouth and chews it up, all the while shaking his head a bit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh winces and looks down for a few moments. "Sorry..." he says quietly. "So um...what strings did you pull?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-25 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, I talked with a couple members of the Young JLA," he answers, retrieving a loaf of bread from the pantry and setting the oven. "I'm pretty sure you're in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avalon raises a brow, and then starts to frown a bit but then doesn't say anything. He really doesn't have room to say anything, so he doesn't. "That's good." he then quips, before mildly asking "SO when will I get to meet all these members? I'm still confused as to how I'm fitting into things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Josh jumps in surprise and stares a moment. "Woah..." he trails off. "Thanks, Henry!" he declares with a grin. He then turns to Ava and nods. "Looks like I'm gonna be on the team with you guys," he says, assuming Ava's already a member. "I'd like to meet them too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-25 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	"I'll set up a meeting," he nods. "I mean, I was hoping we'd meet more when we went to Warriors, but... yeah, I'll call a meeting. And you're in too, Avalon, obviously. I mean, you're my partner." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	Looking between Henry and then Josh, Avalon raises a brow again, and then says "The way you're talking, you had to do quite a lot of convincing to get Josh in. I guess I'm wondering what makes me any different from Josh. Is it the ring?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I can't wait to meet them all," Josh says. He's nervous but excited. The healer then frowns when Ava speaks up. "No," he says. "I think...it has more to do with my father being a psychopathic murderous supervillain and my mother being a non super psycho..." he trails off sadly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-25 10:15 pm UTC (link)
	"Look, I'm not going to lie to you Josh... you're going to need to convince a couple people. But I've made sure you'll be given the chance to do it." He shrugs. "You're my partner, Ava, and that also makes a difference." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Avalon just nods his head quietly, his eyes on Henry. "I trust your word, but I am not sure how I feel about this. Josh should be the one they trust.. yet they trust me more? It's just all very confusing, Henry. Especially since I don't think I've ever really had words with anyone in the YLA."

Josh is the one who knows me the best on this planet. he thinks to himself.

	Josh smiles sadly and nods. "I'll give it my all," he says. "I never expected easy," he sighs. The healer then gives Avalon a wide eyed look. "Ava, dude...what're you talking about?" he asks. "You're a hero! A blue lantern! Someone great and good and amazing," he says. "That's more than enough reason to trust you," he says. "I'm just the street kid spawn of evil."

	"You're both being stupid," Henry tells them, putting the bread in the oven and leaning against the doorway between the kitchen and living room. "You're both awesome, and anyone outside of this room who doesn't realize that is a dumbass." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm an alien, Josh. You're from this planet. It's just odd to me is all." replies Avalon. Hrming some, Avalon then asks Henry, "Do you think that it will take long to get either of us into shape for going to school?" he then glances to Josh, smirking a bit as he says "Lazy days spent floating around are fun, but.. I'm restless." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	Josh shrugs. "Why should being an alien matter? There have been alien heroes here on earth for a long while," he says with a shrug. He remains silent on the matter of school though. He's still nervous about that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Superman was an alien, Blue," Henry points out. "As for school... that depends on where you end up. Dad's exhausted right now, but he's often out in space, so I think he'd be willing to let you guys stay here. I mean, we've got room, and you need a place to be." He shrugs. "Or if we set you up at the JLA Headquarters, you could end up almost anywhere, with the teleporters and all."

	bluelantern 2010-03-25 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, well that really didn't reassure Avalon. He blinks at Henry, uncertain of how to take his statement. "I.. I really don't have any interest in returning to school if it's not your school, Henry." he murmurs, "Also Superman doesn't count. He's Superman." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-25 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	Josh shifted slightly. "I'll stay wherever you think is best," he murmurs to the Lanterns. "As long as it's not anywhere in Central or Keystone city..." he trails off. "I know it's a longshot but if someone there figured out who I was related to I just...I'm not ready for that," he says with a shudder. "I'm not sure Superman would agree about not counting."

"Superman wouldn't," Henry agrees. "He's the last Kryptonian. And... it's up to you, Josh. I mean, I'd need to talk to my dad about it, but I seriously don't mind you staying here, and he's willing to talk about it. With Dad gone so much, having some company around the house has been great. But if you want to stay in the YJLA headquarters, that's totally cool too."

Avalon just eats his banana and tries to not read too much into things. Like how Henry had company before Josh showed up, but that didn't stop Henry from doing his usual thing and chase tail. In fact, since Josh had shown up, Avalon had been a lot less lonely; he spent a greater part of the day alone in the house, sometimes till late at night if a girl or "homework" kept Henry out late. That thought was one that Avalon grasped onto and smiles a bit as he considers it.

"I like you being here." he says shyly to the other blond headed boy. "Especially if they try to send me to school in China or something, I'd just rather hang out with you all day than do that."

Josh nods and goes quiet. He glances at Ava and the banana and blushes furiously as some less than G-rated thoughts pop into his head and quickly looks way.

"I think it might be good if I limit my time at the base. At least at first..." he begins. "So no one gets nervous or paranoid," he explains.

Avalon's shy statement brings Josh's blush back and he nods. "I umm...okay," he says with a smile. "Looks like you've got one more guy to add onto the company Ava already gives you, Henry."

	Henry hadn't meant anything, of course -- Ava was also pretty new to staying with Henry. "Awesome. That means you'll be at school with me, too." He smirks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
