Henry heaves a deep sigh. "I grew up around a lot of superpowered kids. I've got a best friend who's a yellow half-alien prince of tiny people in the Amazon. I've got several good friends who can bench press a bus. Powers are so common..." He stops and thinks. "Keith takes his power for granted so much that he doesn't even want anyone to know about it, because it embarrasses him." He shakes his head. "All I ever wanted growing up was to be a hero. I wanted to save lives and help people. I wanted to prove that I had what it takes. And I finally got what I wanted. A green ring." His ring glints as he shows it to them, but he doesn't smile in the least as he shows it.
"You three have become very close to me in a very short time," he says. "A week? Two weeks? A month? You should be practically strangers to me. But you're not. I... trust you. All three of you. Which is why I can do this."
He slides his ring off his finger and places it on the coffee table.
