"His mom's been captured by her evil sister. She's bad news." Henry frowns. "I've got a message out to Sodam Yat to contact me as soon as he's able, so we can get a team together to go save her." He looks to Ava. "I know it's out of our sector, but..."

Josh blinks several times and then runs a hand through his hair. "Not what I thought was about to be said," he mumbles. "Alright. So we go as soon as he gets back to you?"

Avalon just crinkles his nose some and is silent for a moment. After thinking things over, he gives his head one firm nod and then says "I understand the need - plus the Titans are in our sector, are they not? I want to help Starfire - even if I do not trust her son yet." he replies.

"I don't fully either," Henry replies. "...he doesn't like root beer." He shoots a grin to the two guys. "Seriously, Kat trusts him. I don't see a reason not to trust him right now, though I'm still skeptical about releasing that one captain." He drops his voice. "But if it's some sort of trap, we might need to be ready... and we'll need to plan for Kat trusting him."

"I don't know enough about him to trust him or not," Josh admits. "Just wanna know why he kissed me all of a sudden," he mutters, blushing.

"I hope it's not a trap..." he trails off, letting the Lanterns handle planning and the like.

Avalon stands up and comes over to Josh, patting him on the back as he smiles at the boy. "I hope it's not a trap as well, but even if it is, we'll deal with it. One can not be surprised when they are expecting it."

Henry grins. "But you can't be prepared for everything," he replies. "I taught Batman that one." He turns to Josh. "Oh, and I learned what that kiss was about. It's how he learned the local language. Apparently, Tamaranians absorb languages that way."

Josh blinks. "That's...kinda weird. Atleast it was a nice kiss," he says. "What did you do to Batman?" he asks curiously. There's then a nod. "Well, at least I'll sense an ambush coming unless they use robots or zombies..." he shudders. "I hate zombies."

Avalon just gives a bit of a snort, and then shakes his head a bit as he sighs. "I can't help but express my hope that this is not against our best interests. Alerron is not why I do this, but because I honor his mother. As much as I trust Katima's judgment of him, I also think she is a bit blinded by her love and may not see him as he is now, but instead how he once was."

Henry shrugs. "Maybe, Blue. I dunno." He turns to Josh. "I don't think Blackfire has any connections to the space vampires. As for zombies... zombies were how I met dad. And as for what I did to Batman?" He grins. "Well, he was telling me about how he was prepared for anything. So I did this."

He grabs Josh, pushes him somewhat back, still holding him, and lays a deep, passionate kiss on Josh's lips.

"I just hope Katima doesn't get hurt," Josh says quietly.

"Space...vampires?" Josh blinks. "Why not?" he shrugs. "And I thank the zombies for that but otherwise they just hurt my head," he says.

Any other thoughts or replies coming from the healer stop as he melts into the kiss.

Ava blinks a bit as Henry pounces Josh, and then flushes and shakes his head in idle amusement. He just drifts back a bit, giving them space to .. do whatever.

Henry breaks the kiss and puts Josh back on his feet.

"And then he punched me," Henry explains. "It was totally worth it, though."

Josh is a bit dazed at first. "Oh..." he trails off. "Batman is ungrateful then..." he trails off.

"I think that Batman doesn't like kissing boys is more the answer." replies Avalon with a smirk.

"Either that, or he's a terrible kisser," Henry replies.

He turns to Avalon. "Oh, and Avalon? You're going to be the drummer."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Josh stays quiet on the matter of Batman. He knows little of the guy. When Henry brings up the drumming, Josh goes red.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Avalon blinks once, then raises a brow at Henry as he asks "Drummer? For what?"

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

"For our rock band," Henry replies. "Josh'll sing, I'm guitar, I figured you'd be drums and Kat can be bass!"

"You'll be great, Ava," Josh remarks.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Chuckling some, Ava just shakes his head a bit in amusement and then shrugs and says "Yea.. okay.. why not?" he snickers some, "Though I'm used to hand drums.. not the stick kind that the game takes."

"You'll learn," Henry replies with a smile. "It'll be fun! We'll have to design our guys, though." He ponders. "I think I'll have a green spiked mohawk."

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Josh blinks a few times. "I'm gonna need some help figuring out how to do that design thing," he says.
