It's Friday Night: Do You Know Where Your Superhero Kids Are?
Henry grins as he makes certain the bowls of chips are filled. Sodas are available. He's got a hidden stash of beers in his room, but... it's an underage superhero party. They're not visible to most. Those who want one will know to ask him.

People will be arriving soon. He's got tunes, he's got snacks and drinks, he's got games set up to go, and he's got superhero kids coming from all over. While the primary purpose was to make certain the YJLA got a chance to meet Avalon and Josh, the Titans and others have all been invited, too.

This party will rock.

	He returns the gesture, and offers over the box. "Not sure where you want these. Glad I could get out this way though. Looks like just about everyone's here." Other than Petra and Eli, he notes gratefully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry's ring creates a hand that takes the box and delivers the pies to the food table. "Just about. Petra's not here yet, but it's a party. She won't miss this." He leads Jon in and shuts the door. "I think you'll like the guys." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Josh jumps in surprise when someone calls his name. He resists the first idea to pop to mind mostly because he's sure diving under the nearest table would draw more attention to himself than Henry calling his name.

Putting on a smile, the healer looks around quickly and shuffles over to Henry and his friend. He looks from the Lantern to Jon and smiles a bit wider. "Umm...hello," he greets. "I'm Josh," he adds, offering a hand.

	Jon shakes his hand readily. "Jonathan Kent, nice to meet you. Henry says good things." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You guys chat. I need to get more drinks in the cooler." Henry heads off for the kitchen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He does?" Josh asks, blushing slightly. "What's he been saying?" he asks curiously. Of course as Henry heads off, Josh gets a little more nervous but he does his best to keep it from showing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He does. Not a lot, just a little of what you told him, and that you're interested in helping out. We always appreciate what help we can get." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-26 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	Josh smiles again when helping out comes up. "You're one of his teammates too then?" he asks. "I really would like to help out. Any way I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-03-26 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "Yeah, you could say that. Most of his teammates are here, or will be here. And you'll get your chance. The League is a big commitment, and it will require an approval vote and all, but if you're sincere about lending a hand, we'll make sure you get your chance somewhere. He says you have healing powers?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh perks up a little and looks around the room quickly. "That's cool..." he trails off, nervous little edge to his voice. He nods, not afraid of any commitments. "How many people are voting?" he aaks, more out of wanting to know how many teammates Henry has than worrying about the vote. "Oh, yeah. I can heal people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"A lot, honestly, will be up to the adults. We're still using their resources and operating under their names. But they'll be fair... history suggests they lean towards giving people a chance. Then it'll come down to us. Henry has been talking to people and bringing up the idea. Right now, don't worry about it, enjoy the party, and the rest will work itself out later. That is a useful ability though."

	"That...that includes the Flash, right?" Josh asks, a bit worried. The Flash and his family are a source of great concern for the healer. "I'll try. This is the first party I've ever been to actually," he admits. "It is useful. My other powers are too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I haven't heard about those. But yes, that includes the Flash... but his whole family, really, are good people. Give him a chance, and some time. If you prove yourself to him, you're not likely to find many people more loyal, or who'll go further to help a friend. Most of us have our enemies. Ties to those, however tenuous, can be a tough thing to get past sometimes."

"Oh. Well...I heal automatically too. Like when I got shot at Warriors, I just healed right up. Not even a scar. And I can sense other living things and if they're hurt or not and what they are. Really, sensing all these new and different life signals is pretty strange..." he admits.

The healer then nods and looks down. He knows things will be difficult but he's still worried. "I just...don't want anyone getting in trouble over hanging around with me."

	"For just hanging out with you? Look, joining the Justice League's training team is one thing. I can't make any promises there. But as long as you stay out of trouble, you shouldn't need to worry about just hanging out with people. If anyone gives you too much trouble about that, let me know, ok?"

	"Well, my dad is a psychopathic cult leading murderous supervillain. I don't imagine most non-super parents would want their kids around me..." Josh trails off. He's surprised by Jon but nods. "S-sure. I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-03-26 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	"And last I heard, you're not your father." Jon answers with his usual self-assurance when he gets set on something. Its a family trait. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh smiles a bit. "No...I'm not," he agrees. "Never even met the guy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2010-03-26 05:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Then I don't see any reason to link you to him. And who fathered you shouldn't have anything to do with who you hang out with. Henry seems to like you, and while he's trouble now and then, Henry is a good guy." Deep down sometimes, but still. "I've learned to trust his judgment most of the time when he's serious about something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I hope the rest of your team thinks like this," Josh admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not necessarily, but they should come around given some time and a chance to get to know you. Meanwhile, stick with Henry. He shouldn't get you in too much trouble til we have some time to sort things out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh chuckles a little. "Henry's not gotten me into any trouble yet," he says. "Atleast not any trouble I know of," he adds. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
