Your fav JL members meeting cryptid Hal for the first time? :D
What would their reactions be?
“Oh dear,” Billy kept his distance from the skittish… Hal, a skittish Hal. “Hey, it’s okay Hal I promise, it’s just me.”
Transformations were never fun the first time, and with Hal there was just the only time. Your body isn’t the right size, your balance is all off, and everything hurts. Billy remembers how much his skeleton seemed to sing as it resonated with his lightning for the first time and how everything felt like growing pains, he imagines it has to be about 50x worse for Hal right now.
Billy lifts his hands up to show he’s not a threat, having no idea what running through Hal’s mind right now with his situation. “It’s okay, I promise I’m—”
He doesn’t get to finish when Hal bolts from his spot and take Billy up in his arms, clinging to him like a lifeline or a stuffed toy after a horrible nightmare. Billy hugs back, hearing his friend weep choked and misspoken sobs into his shoulder.
