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.

	Henry nods. "Yeah. The second Flash's middle name was Henry. And his last name was sorta close to Allanah's." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh blinks. "The other hero?" he asks, confused. "Umm...okay," he says. For a moment he considers something but waves it off. "I'd look terrible in a cape," he murmurs. "Cool," the healer remarks. "My name...doesn't have any ties to anyone in the super community as far as I know. Hell, I'm named after a prison guard," he laughs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Hey, Dad says he knew I was a girl, but mom wanted te name 'Allen.' They fell back and punted."

She gets herself some punch from across the room and continues talking. "Secret identities, josh. Sorry. Some people are cool having open identities. Others, like Uncle Batman...not so much."

"Prison guards are heroes, especially in places we put criminals. Want some punch? It's no trouble."

	Henry nods. "There's another hero who had the second Flash's first name, like I've got his middle name, and Allanah's got his last name. We'll let him tell you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Josh just looks more confused by what Allanah says. When Henry explains things, Josh smiles. "Okay, that makes sense," he says.

"I should really look into getting a costume to help hide my ID. Where does everyone get them anyway? I mean I know you've got the ring thing going on..." he looks to Henry.

When Allanah just stretches about, Josh watches her arm and his brows knit. "No thanks, I just finished and soda and..." he he shivers. "Okay, no offense is meant by this but that feels really weird," he says.

"I was trying to fudge the gender there, Jordan!" She knows she was making Josh confused, but rules are rules - and Josh isn't cleared yet even if Henry thinks he his. Henry can be a little...focused. "Sorry, Josh. I grew up with all this stuff, so sometimes it's hard to scale it back, y'know?"

"Mhm?" She finishes getting the punch. She's read up on Josh, but she wants to know what he tells her.

	"No confusing the new guy," Henry tells her, giving Josh a friendly elbow. "Don't mind Allanah. She's way too smart for her own good, and thinks everyone else is already on the same page with her." He pokes at her nose with his finger. "But she's awesome anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Josh tilts his head to the side. He gets this 'innocently lost' expression on his face for a moment and then nods slowly. "Okay," he says. The apology from Allanah and Henry's being Henry bring Josh's smile back quickly though. "Oh," he chuckles.

A sheepish expression offered. "Well, one of my powers is the ability to sense living things around me and figure out stuff about them like how close they are, their condition, and that kinda stuff. You're the first person I've ever sensed with powers like that and it's a bit...new," he explains. "Then again just about everyone here is registering as new...heh. Jai and his sister are registering really brightly."

	"The Speed when applied in the rightways can supposedly bend dimensional barriers and even time itself." She shrugs. "Haven't seen it up close, but I'll bet those powers are bright and shiny. Is Henry's ring readable to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry doesn't need prompting. He holds out the ring so Josh can get a good look at it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Josh blinks again. "The Speed? I thought he was Kid Flash...is that Iris' codename?" he tilts his head to the side. He seems surprised when asked about Henry's ring and looks down. The healer bites his lip as he peers at the little green object. "It's strange. I can feel...something...but it's not like a life signature. Really can't tell what it is," he shrugs. "The feeling gets stronger when he uses it. Like it's really faint right now. But I don't know much about space rings and all that," he chuckles.

	"She means the Speed Force... the energy field they all tap into. It's some sort of weird thing. Apparently, there's a mathematical formula that can help you tap into it, too, but I never really understood that." Henry shrugs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	grape_taffy 2010-03-27 06:42 am UTC (link)
	"Sorry, distracted. Yeah, speed force." Gah. Cute guys and parties screw with her. She actually seems surprisingly sheepish as his sips her punch and tries not to sink into he floorboards. Everything else gets filed away for later. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh blinks and looks towards the nearest speedster. He seems to stare off into space a moment and then jumps. "Woah," he says. "well, whatever it is, they're chock full if it and in great health," he says with a smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry wanders off to mingle. She favors Henry with a mixed smile as he leaves. To josh, she comments, "He's full of something all right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-27 08:00 am UTC (link)
	Josh blinks a few times and tilts his head to the side. "What?" he asks. "Who?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She swishes her drink around. "Henry. Don't get me wrong. He's like having brother; right down to the name thing. Brothers come with upsides and downsides." Her mouth quirks up some more. "Full of heart, full of beans, occasionally full of himself - but he needs that for the ring to work. The cup overflowth when it comes to Henry."

"But I can say that because I'm family and went to summer camp with him wy too often. Your mileage may vary."

	Josh shrugs. "I wouldn't know. I'm an only child," he says with a little smile. "Beans? I don't think anyone here is full of beans," he says, looking confused again. "He...has his faults..." Josh trails off, expression turning sad for a few moments before Josh remembers he's in public and forces a smile into place. "But he's a great guy. And I like him." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Uh...wow...I sound like I'm with the old JSA today. 'Full of beans' is a nicer way of saying full of -" She does look around first. "shit." Back to normal.

Do not lie to the detective. The effervescent attitude fades to something more caring. "Josh, whatever is on your mind, it's okay to talk about. Doesn't have to be here either. We can go make a soda run and I'll shut up and listen for awhile. Really."

Josh frowns again. He doesn't like such a thing said about his friend but he says nothing.

The healer is slightly surprised by the sudden change in the stretchy girl and pauses a moment. After some consideration, he sighs. "It's just...when I said I like him I..." he blushes a bit. "And he really doesn't even realize it. Lot just seems to go right over his head..."

"Ah." The budding crush goes bye-bye. "Well, Henry does like guys.' sh mulls over that a bit. "Kidding aside. Henry isn't clueless. e's..." She thinks a little more and starts shuffling towards a corner. "He opertes almost entirely on the idea that what he's focused on at any given time is completely possible to get if he's determined enough - and that can look like a lack of clue."

"I know," Josh's blush just gets worse. "No...he's clueless..." he sighs softly. "And what does he usually do when he gets what he's determined to?" he asked quietly. "I honestly thought it'd be different with Henry...how we flirted, how he actually seemed interested in me...wanted me..." he sighs again, blushing red despite the sad tone to his voice. "But after...it just turned out to be the same as the others. He doesn't know that I really do like him. A lot..."

	She hates to be the bearer of bad news, but... "Truth is," she admits. "I doubt if he knows what he wants most of the time. Beyond 'adventure,' I've been trying figure that out for years - and I'm a detective." "Do you take hugs? You look like you need one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-27 09:18 am UTC (link)
	Josh's expression sinks a bit lower. "Y-yeah...sure," he says. "Thanks..." he's quiet, looking in the direction he senses Henry. He glances towards where he senses Ava and considers going to see him soon too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	grape_taffy 2010-03-27 09:28 am UTC (link)
	"I just screwed your day," she says sadly. "And you're a really nice guy. I should make this up to you, huh? The problem is you'll have to tell me what you like to do first." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
