Keystone, 4 PM
Henry cut his last class today. He needs to make it out to Keystone by 4 their time, to be able to catch Iris alone. He doesn't want to talk to Jai right now... he'd be tempted to punch him in the face.

So Henry lands unseen behind the bleachers and steps out, dressed in normal clothes again, approaching the cheerleaders as they disband. Normally, he has a different motive when approaching a band of cheerleaders after practice, but today, it's business that brings him here. He stands nearby, hoping that Iris notices him waiting.

	"You got a minute?" he asks, looking around. He's hoping Jai isn't here to meet Iris after practice or anything. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He playfully tosses her hair with his hand, an affectionate "older-brother"-type move. "Thanks. I've got a story to tell you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She wrinkled her nose at the mussing of her hair. "What's up?" she asked, tilting her head to one side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I found someone who I think would be a great addition to the JLA. He's gentle, kind, it looks like he's already got some basic combat training, a really useful power... but I'm not sure if he'll be accepted." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's awesome! New team members are always AWESOME!" She raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you think he'll be accepted?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well... okay, he was raised by his grandparents. His mom was in jail. After his grandparents died, he started living on the streets, about 6 months ago, and he looked into who his father was." He frowns. "His dad was Cicada, Iris." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh." Iris bit her lip, and started playing with a loose strand of her hair. "Well....just because his dad was a crazy psycho killer, doesn't mean that he's going to be one too, right? I mean, if he was raised by his grandparents and didn't even know who his dad was...that doesn't really mean anything if he's a good person, right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think so," Henry nods. "I've spent the last couple days with him -- I let him stay with me until we can get stuff sorted out and find him a place. He's the most gentle guy I've ever met. But... well... not everyone agrees." He frowns. "Someone has already declared him about to go evil and betray us all without even meeting him first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris sighed. She had a pretty good guess who that someone was. "Would that someone be....Jai?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-23 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	He sighs. "Yeah. He's not even talking to me because I did this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2010-03-23 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	She let out another sigh of her own, giving him a small smile. "Do you want me to try and talk to him for you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-23 11:37 pm UTC (link)
	He sighs. "I don't know. I'm not sure I care. I mean... if he wants to be an ass, that's just his business, right? You're willing to give Josh a try, and that's what matters." He smiles, a little unconvincingly. "He's got healing powers... really helpful for a superhero team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2010-03-23 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	She put a hand on his shoulder. "He'll come around. You'll see. He won't stay mad forever. I'm sure once he gets to know Josh better, things will be fine." She nodded. "It is. Always useful in a dire situation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-23 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	"I don't think he'll give Josh a chance," Henry replies. "Iris... he's really fragile. He'll take any snide thing Jai says to heart, and it will hurt him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2010-03-23 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	"I see," she said, "Maybe...you could help me explain that to him?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-24 12:02 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe," he shrugs. "If you want me to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2010-03-24 12:05 am UTC (link)
	"I think it might help a little....he is being kinda unfair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2010-03-24 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Henry catches himself before he says, more than kinda... "Okay. I'll do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)
