— Espave —

Wave’s laugh was inherently abrasive.

Frequently throwing her head back, she’d cackle at someone else’s expense.

Espio, though much quieter in his amusement, was often present for these takedowns, and found them utterly irritating.

“Really, this is what Bean lets you get away with? Remind me to cuss him out later…” she jeered, kicking the tailpipe of the Marvellous Queen.

Fang flew into rabid hysterics, trying to land a hit on Wave, even as she kept him scruffed and held away from her body like he was roadkill.

Espio rolled his eyes, though he held back a snort: she might be rude, but she was always right.

Kneeling and dropping the jerboa in the same swift movement, the swallow looked up at Espio through her long lashes. He couldn’t tell if she was batting them at him or merely glaring.

“My oil pan, grabbyhands…” she commanded, and the detective felt his face flush in both anger and arousal.

Wave giggled, immediately sliding down to change the bike’s oil, working efficiently despite the odd angle she was backbending at.

“Shouldn’t you lay down for that?” Fang growled, trying to regain some of the dignity Wave had strangled out of him.

She arched back up, still balanced on her heels; “Shouldn’t you be out of the closet by now?” the swallow immediately replied, cracking her back before lowering again.

But then, there it was.

Wave fully folded backwards as her legs gave out beneath her hips, all from the abrupt force of her laughter, not even needing to see Fang’s baffled and offended expression to amuse herself.

The crude shrillness of her nasal cackling was grating, but Espio found himself amused, albeit for different reasons.

He loved the way she awkwardly plopped down, and how her arms never knew where to fall. She’d always pop her hip between her prosaic pacing, which would result in her opposite collarbone cracking each time. It didn’t matter how exhausted she could be, she’d find a way to twist herself into a ridiculous pose as she worked, like a postmodern art installation.

Her eyes glimmered like the cresting sunset sea when the chameleon managed to catch her attention, yet he failed to realize that her irises only did that when she looked at him.

Wave huffed as the oil continued to drain into the pan, and childishly held her arms out to Espio, long purple feathers splaying out around her on the concrete.

“Hey… grabbyhands…”

He hoisted her up with a scowl, but kept his hands on the swallow’s tattooed forearms as she rebalanced at his eye level.

Wave, in their heightened proximity, glanced down at his lips, nostrils flaring softly.

“You got one left for me…?”

Curse her sense of smell.

Espio retrieved a cigarette and placed it in her beak, grabbing his lighter and doing the honours. She melted with the inhale, and rested her greasy palms on his chest with the exhale. (She was kind enough to angle the smoke out of his face for once.)

“Thank you…” she eventually admitted quietly, her voice different this time around.

Espio met her shiny gaze as her body relaxed in his arms, necessitating that he’d pull her closer.

“You’re obnoxious…” the detective growled. He didn’t expect her to falter, and for a second, the chameleon thought this was another one of their games…

Until he saw her eyes glaze over.

“But, I mean,” he immediately started to correct. Espio knew the damage had been done, but Wave was also clever enough to hear the rest of his unspoken justification, some of the life returning to her stiff torso.

There it was again, actually.

Wave giggled gently; no nasal tones, no screeching or jagged movements, just the soft exhale of her breath on his cheek, cigarette tucked to the corner of her mouth, burning itself out.

This is what he always felt, but rarely saw.

Espio let one if his hands slide down onto her exposed hip, angling her closer. The swallow didn’t protest, mesmerized by his sudden tranquility.

She found herself leaning in, face heating up despite her giggling, least likely due to the lit flame between them.

And the cigarette too.

“Can you get me some fucking oil?!?” Fang sputtered out, glaring at the two in disgust and horror.

Espio could have thrown a kunai between his eyes.

Wave retreated and reverted, resharpening her edges as she flicked ashes onto the jerboa’s snout: “Only when you stop being a miserable little cunt!”

He lost her. But that just meant he’d have to wait around for Wave to come back into orbit.

Laughter doesn’t travel in space, but at least her bright eyes were his north star.

Stella Ridens.

Yo

I really wish people would stop using Jet as Sonic's ex and etc while talking about sonadow

They hate Jet more than Jet's haters themselves

Espave tag feels a bit empty lately, so I'm fixing this

[regrat1704]

I need to vent about a cartoon hedgehog after I've seen countless of stupid posts on Twitter/X about this subject. It seems like it's a stupid thing to talk about, but honestly I think it is good to spread this fact:

No, people are not wrong about Shadow lately. He's getting too much spotlight, even after his "Year of Shadow".

No, people are NOT wrong about asking to see more Jet The Hawk in Sonic Racing Crossworlds' marketing. He's THE rival when it comes to drive Extreme Gears or any other vehicles.

Look, at the end of the day Shadow will have many more chances to appear as co-protagonist in mainline Sonic games comparated to the 0% chance of Jet doing so. I'm afraid Jet and the rest of the Babylon Rogues will always be locked under the racing games and I don't think they will ever use these characters outside of these spin off games, as much I think this idea sucks! With that being said, I think Jet merits to stay in the spotlight for this new racing game, not Shadow. Give obscure characters a chance to shine and get new fans. If you keep shoving Shadow down their throat, then of course they will never to get to know about the rest of the cast.

I KNOW Shadow is the second most popular character in this franchise, I KNOW Shadow brings in lots of money to SEGA, but you can't rely on this cow everytime a new project is in development. It will get stale and people will stop being intrigued. Just look at Twitter/X in the past days. They are tired of Shadow.

SOJ is at least trying to make Jet the third mascotte of Racing Crossworlds, unlike SOA which keeps pushing this Shadow propaganda as "Sonic's legendary rival". Japanese fans get a Jet keychain as bonus preorder too. Western's Limited Run's Collector's edition of Crossworlds gets a statue about... Sonic and Shadow again! Was it so hard adding Jet with the Type-J Jota as well?

Last thing I want to add is this: there was this one post on Twitter from a vocal Sonic fan that said something like this: "Jet has got his own Riders arc in the IDW comics, so he had some place to shine."

Are you even serious? Do you even read these comics? Until the very last issue, Jet, Wave and Storm were sidelined in their own arc to give space to Surge & Kit and all the Sweepstakes Inc. thing. They did nothing to the story. If you tell me this is a way to celebrate the Babylon Rogues as characters, then you understand nothing! Just admit you do not care about these birds and do yourself a favor: shut up.

Vent's over. Agree or disagree with me, I don't care. I just want the Babylon Rogues to have some place to shine once in a while.

(P.S.: Sorry for my poor english, I'm not american/british).
