Happy Halloween!
17 years ago, a zombie invasion of New York City led to Hal Jordan to find an abandoned infant. Eventually, this infant was adopted by Jordan.

While Henry's exact birthdate is believed to be October 24th, he generally celebrates on the day his father found him... and this means he doesn't hold back when he throws his Halloween parties.

He's dressed as a zombie Hugh Hefner as he carefully checks over the snacks and drinks. People should be arriving soon. The decorations are all in place: black walls, different colored lights in each room, a strobelight by the dance floor, balloons and streamers, corpses and skeletons...

People should be arriving soon, and Henry is thrilled. He's got some cute people coming, both superhero-kid and civilian, and he's looking forward to seeing people mingle.

	Hal steps into the room, smiling at his son looking over the last few details. "Henry, you got a second?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Yeah, Dad?" Henry asks, pausing to come up to his father. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I know I usually give you your birthday gift tomorrow..." he smiles. "But... I've got something for you." He tosses a small box to his son. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Henry catches the box out of the air, and gives it a confused look. He begins to open it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I was away last week, you might remember... I was fighting Malvolio, who stole my original ring year ago. And I got it back. But I can't use two rings, Henry. So yesterday, I was on Oa, explaining who I thought should have the ring that used to belong to me... that used to belong to Abin Sur. And I told them about how my current ring was borrowed to save the lives of every hero on Earth recently."

He places a firm hand on Henry's shoulder, even as the young man stares into the open box, a look of complete astonishment on his face, a green light emitting from the inside and illuminating his face. "The Guardians agreed."

He squeezes his son's shoulder. "Welcome to the Green Lantern Corps, Henry Jordan of Earth."

	Ty is at the door in his Peter Pan costume. It was a bit of a flight, but that just made the whole thing that much more fun, taking anyone who wanted to come along for a telekinetic flight. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Flying was never fun, but Cait was mostly okay as long as she held onto Ty. It was one of the few times she needed his support and not the other way around. She was dressed as Wendy. Of course Wendy and the whole Peter Pan had to be explained to her as she had never read the story or seen the movie. She held Ty's hand as they waited for he door to be answered.

	And Iris is floating in the air above them, in full Tinkerbell attire. Telekinesis? Totally cool? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While he was at the TK, Ty also gave her a nifty little glowing aura, so for as long as he pays it a little attention, Tink actually glows. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Phone's ringing, Henry! You might want to take this in a less populated room, though. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Henry steps into his dad's room -- the one room to remain sacrosanct during a teenage party, by house rules -- and picks up. "Din! Come on over! Room's clear! And I've got something awesome to show you!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2009-10-28 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Please don't tell me it's regimental," Henry replies, and then he flashes Din the green ring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait wasn't exactly the type to mingle at parties. She was more of a wallflower. It was from a life of growing up in the Atlantean court and not wanting to be noticed. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	all_powerfull 2009-10-29 05:30 am UTC (link)
	At least she's not lonely. If there's a bigger wallflower here than Cait, its her boyfriend. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-10-29 05:37 am UTC (link)
	Cait was glad Ty came to the party. He needed more exposure to groups of people and learn not to be nervous in public. She took his hand and gave it a small squeeze. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A young woman dressed as a bespectacled witch approaches. "Hey, you must be some of Henry's cousins or something, right? He said he'd have some relatives here..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In the sky, the clouds boil yellows and reds, making it look like the insides of a glowing jack 'o lantern. For a brief moment there's a yawning ear-popping feeling in the air before a shooting star starts to plummet to earth. It's pretty. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	first_son 2009-10-29 05:29 am UTC (link)
	He sees it from the upper atmosphere, a flash of light. As he zooms in his vision, he sees his return can't be uneventful. And the shooting star is followed by a streaking comet heading right toward it, trying to intercept the falling half-angel before he strikes down too hard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2009-10-29 05:33 am UTC (link)
	At least he's not on fire? He's just tumbling in a free-fall. His wings trying to spread out and slow him down, but Eli's falling to fast and too out of control. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris raises an eyebrow. "What did you eat when you were away that dehydrated stuff for astronauts?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"There's dozens of starfaring races and the like. Some of them are even friendly. I love Tamaranian food especially... though the dinner company is a little... uhm... interesting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Her eyes nearly bulge out of her head, "Did you eat like alien animal tentacles or something?!" Yes, Iris may have seen one-to-many sci-fi movies. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2009-10-30 04:05 am UTC (link)
	"Actually, yes. And they weren't that bad. Not real different from octopus." he replies, matter-of-factly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
