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.

	"He wants to make up for what his dad did. And if you think someone earns all the karma of their dad, then you've got one hell of an ego about you... and that's coming from me." He shakes his head. "Besides, he was raised by his mom's parents, who were perfectly law-abiding citizens, and there's records of that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, let's just say I've seen enough of the apple not falling far from the tree between you, me, Irey, Terry, Corrina, Jon, Cait, Petra and Traya to believe that maybe...just maybe...I'm not wrong." Jai says.

"But you do what you want, man. You've made up your mind, and I've made up mine. I'd ask if we can agree to disagree, but I don't see that happening, so how do you want to handle this?" Jai asks.

	"I'm trying to get him into the League, Jai," Henry explains. "He's got useful powers, and he's a good guy. It's not right that you're going to hold his dad's crimes against him!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You know, I'm watching your back too, on this. If the situation was flipped, and this was Black Hand's kid wanting in after all the times he's tried to kill your dad, are you telling me you'd be willing to let that slide if he says he's trying to clean up his father's name?" Jai asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, first of all, I'm not sure if Black Hand ever was able to have a kid, since it usually requires a living partner," Henry points out, "but if you promised me that he was a good guy, and told me you'd checked him out? I'd give him a chance. You know, because I trust you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"It's not YOU I don't trust. It's HIM! I've trusted you on a lot of crazier things since we've been friends. Besides, I gave Avalon a chance because you vouched for him. You said he was cool, and I heard you out." Jai says.

He's got a list of examples he could bring up, but he won't just now. Henry's will is made of iron, and trying to change his mind would be about as easy as trying to make the Earth spin backward. Jai's pretty sure he could get the Earth to budge on this before he'll get Henry to change his mind.

He sighs. "Who else have you told about him?"

	"Jon," he notes. "And Jon's willing to give him a chance. I called Allanah, too. Her first words? 'What do we know about this guy?'" He shakes his head. "Neither one wondered how I possibly could have fucked up so badly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Well, they aren't exactly affected by this like I am. He gets on the team, I'm going to have deal with him all the time, and I don't know how cool I am with that.

But...I'll make you a deal. I'll meet this guy, once. If I don't like him, you leave off of me about it, and I'll keep my personal objections about this whole thing to myself. I won't run him out of town, but I'm not going out of my way to welcome him, either." Jai says.

"Meanwhile, we can let bygones be bygones on this one and not talk about it anymore."

	"Giving him a chance is all I wanted, man," Henry replies. "If you'll meet him and give him a chance... that's good enough for me. And if you want to see what I dug up about him... I'll e-mail you the records." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I want to see everything, Henry. But I'll give him a chance, if only because you believe in him so fervently." Jai says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry smiles and claps his friend on the shoulder. "Thanks, man." (Reply to this)(Parent)
