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.

	"Not that I can detect..." Ty replies, reaching out to take his girlfriend's hand comfortingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Listen, you seem like a very nice girl, but I..." Jai is back towards the deck, trying to get away from the ravenous blonde in front of him.

"But what? Henry said that we'd look so great together...." the Playboy Bunny in front of him coos, coming at him.

Damn, if only he could run his way out of this one. "I'm really busy right now, with school and other activities, otherwise, I'd take you out to dinner or something....Rebeca?"

"Call me Becki...."

"Becki, look, I-"

CRASH.

Seeing his moment, Jai holds up a finger to the girl, "I'll be right back. Just stay here."

And he makes his way as quickly as he can to the stairs, going straight into superspeed once he's away from the party.

	Henry had been on the deck, making out with one of the girls from the swim team dressed as Marilyn Monroe. But he shoved her back in before two superpowered guys could come crashing through where they were standing. "Wait here," he tells the people in the party before going out to investigate.

	Eli is a tangle of wings and arms. Flailing wings and arms. He manages to extricate himself and wobble to his feet. He lasts five seconds before collapsing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jon is up a moment later, lifting out of the shallow crater into a hover just in time to partly catch the half-angel. "Easy, you'll be alright." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait wasn't going to stand by and watch. She grabbed the ice and water out of the huge tub of drinks and went after Henry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And Iris is out the backyard five seconds after hearing the crash. And sees two shirtless-make that one shirtless, one nude, boys. She can't help it. Her jaw DROPS. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And....Jai nearly ran right off the now busted balcony. "Oh shit." In two seconds, he's out in the backyard, rushing over to the boys to give them a hand. "You guys okay?" He turns his attention to his sister. "Shut your eyes, Iris." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine, but I think he could use some medical attention, some clothes and a place to lie down." As usual, unflappable, right until the situation dies down some. Right now, there's still a person who can't stand on his own, could well be hurt. "I'm sorry about the balcony... and the yard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2009-10-29 07:35 am UTC (link)
	"We'll fix it," Henry replies, moving to the other guy. "Good to see you, Jon. WOAH. Okay, well, we know he's not Jewish..." He uses his ring to put some clothes around the newcomer. "Any idea who this is?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	young_swimmer 2009-10-29 07:37 am UTC (link)
	Cait jumped off the balcony and landed in the crater next to the two guys. She put a shoulder under the one who couldn't stay up right on his own on the opposite side of Henry. "Let's get him inside first," she said. "Then we can worry about names and introductions." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He flaps his wings and tries to stand muttering hoarsely, "I'm fine." One of the wings is at the awkward angle of not quite fine. He's a bit too dizzy/buzzed to comment on anything in regards to pain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

X-Ray vision works wonders. "You're not fine, there's definitely some bone damage there, friend. These people will take good care of you and you can tell us where you come from. My family usually limits itself to rescuing falling reporters." he adds, looking back to Henry, just now putting where he is together, seeing as faces and voices have changed a little.
"Its good to see you, Henry. Like the lady said, we should get inside."

	"Uh, none of my Worst Case Scenario Guides covered setting broken wings," Dinadan says from the doorway. "Remind me to write in and complain. I think I got everyone away from the windows, but yes. Inside is definitely a good plan." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Henry's already going inside and calming the partygoers. "No, no, it's okay. Don't worry about calling the cops -- it's covered, really. Trust me." He shines his winning smile to his friends, and gestures, getting a path between the door and his dad's room cleared.

He'll have to come up with some story later, but he's sure he can handle it.

"See you in a few minutes, Megan, and we'll pick up where we left off," he mentions to the Marilyn Monroe swim-team girl as he passes her by.

	Jai knew he recognized him from somewhere. "Hey Jon," he says, before surveying over Eli, "I could take him up to your parent's room, Henry? They wouldn't even notice me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lantern_kid 2009-10-29 07:52 am UTC (link)
	"They already know someone's here," Henry mutters. "I'll probably pass it off as someone taking some bad shit or something later. I'll handle it. Let's not compound things, man, okay?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris blinks, just staaaring. "I um, that is I could, er, I could help?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2009-10-29 08:04 am UTC (link)
	"Of course you could. How about we get some..." x-ray vision scanning... trying to forget that in looking through the wall he ended up x-raying a group of girls... oops. He won't be explaining the blush. Ah, there. "Get some punch, and you can catch me up on what's happened in the last year or two?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris beams. "I can do that!" Jon was...definitely as cute as she remembered, that was for sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He offers an arm. He didn't have a costume, and there's probably plenty of rumors about him descending from the skies and all - and a hole in the balcony, and a crater in the yard, and that mini-quake, but Henry would figure something out, and Johnathan didn't really have a secret identity. No way he really could. So the main explanation might just be Henry having to explain why Superboy was at his party. In the meanwhile, catching up was good.

"Thank you, I'm sure I've missed a lot."

	Cait helped the one with the wings...ugh flying...inside. It was slow going, but the slower the better. She ignored the stares as they walked through the party and to the stairs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Iris takes the arm offered to her, beaming. "I think the punch is over there," she says as the make their way back to the party, "Are you hungry? I'm pretty sure there's pizza and stuff too." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Eli's gone limp by now, leaning on whoever it is that's carrying him. "Fucking Rayner. Fucking bastard... show him good idea..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	first_son 2009-10-29 08:11 pm UTC (link)
	"Pizza? Oh man, you have no idea how much I've missed Earth food, I'm starved." he replies, briefly picking up Eli's muttering, arching a brow. Strange. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
