Healing Process
Josh shifts slightly on his perch and sighs. It's dark out but he doesn't care. The healer's in Henry's backyard, up in a tree and in a relaxed position. He's got the hood of his sweatshirt up and is just staring up at the stars through the leaves. He can sense who's inside and he fights the urge to tear up again. He's just thankful his powers got rid of the telltale signs that he'd been crying earlier.

"Maybe I should just go tonight. What do you think?" he asks a cat that's perched in the tree with him. The feline yawns, stretches, and then walks away. Josh just sighs again.

	Josh hugs Katima and chuckles quietly. "No...you didn't do anything wrong," he says. "No need to apologize. You gonna be alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, Josh. I do need to apologize. I didn't realize what my presence was doing to you or to Avalon. And then the Sapphire did what she did...I feel responsible for that as well. You all have suffered and I did not help. I did nothing to stop it. I failed you. When Henry returns, I'm leaving. I'm resigning my staff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Stop it!" Josh speaks up suddenly, looking at Katima with a faintly annoyed expression.

"It's bad enough Ava is rushing off to the Blue Lantern HQ to try giving up his ring. You shouldn't give up on being one of you Indigo Lanterns just because you made a mistake any person could make. I swear, if Henry starts talking about giving up his ring when him and Ava come back I am going to hit him!" he rambles a bit. Of course he doubts he can ever hurt Henry but saying it makes him feel a little better.

"You're still able to do great good for people everywhere and for me, Ava, and Henry."

"Josh," she sighs. "I'm an Indigo Lantern. I'm also an empath. My entire duty is compassion. Where was my compassion the other night? When I did not realize the pain you and Avalon were in?" She shakes her head.

"I love you both too much to permit myself remain in a position of duty when I am clearly not up to the task. I just hope that when Henry returns the three of you can be happy. I want you all to be happy."

Josh frowns. "I don't know much about any of these crazy space rings," he begins. "Other than the fact that the black ones apparently make my head hurt a lot and my skin crawl...but I've been hiding how I feel for a long time," he glances away. "Not your fault for not knowing. "And Avalon's an empath too. He was blocking out his emotions from broadcast. He told me so himself," he says. "And none of us will be happy if you leave."

	She sniffles and looks at him, a little confused. "You would be unhappy, too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-31 03:10 am UTC (link)
	"Yes!" Josh says, resisting the urge to flail a little. "You're a friend. I would miss you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Katima cannot help but laugh and hug him tightly. "You are adorable. I want to make a big pile of you and Avalon and cuddle myself into it just for the pure adorable of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Josh goes red and squeaks a little. He's not sure how to react beyond just hugging more. After a moment he glances at Katima. "So you're not gonna leave?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-31 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"I will stay, Josh. I will find a place to stay here on Earth if you wish me stay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-31 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"You have a place to stay," Josh says. "Here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-31 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"I love Henry, Josh. I can't be around him as he does not want me. But I will be nearby." She smiles. "We can get...pizza?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-31 03:24 am UTC (link)
	Josh gets that annoyed little expression on his face again. "He wants you. He mentioned you outside...trust me," he says. "Pizza? Sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't look at me like that. I have a staff. I can make constructs that will tickle you until you flail." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-31 03:27 am UTC (link)
	Josh squeaks and his eyes go wide. "P-please don't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-31 03:28 am UTC (link)
	"Ah. Now I know your weakness." She winks and gets up, offering him her hand. "Let's go find pizza." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	healingbug 2010-03-31 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Josh just blushes more and accepts the hand up. "Yeah. I know where we can find some." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2010-03-31 03:37 am UTC (link)
	Katima uses her ring to make herself look 'normal' and then she leaves the house with Josh. "Ok. Lead the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)
