#Hunter and Fang

[greenshadowsinthesky]

Introducing . . .

You may have read the previous story, and wanted to know more about the new characters mentioned, well fret no longer!  Here they are, in full picrew glory!

Orion (he/they) is a vigilante by the name of Hunter.  Orphaned at a young age by a bank robbery gone sideways, Orion started off as most vigilantes do, learning combat, sneaking around in the dark, trying to stop petty crimes, and eventually getting themself tangled up in something much bigger than he could handle.  Before he got himself killed by his lack of experience, they were saved by ex-Leaguers Huntress and Question, who took a liking to this teen who could use their help and wisdom if he was to survive the life of a vigilante.

Selene (she/her) is a werewolf, born and raised.  She lived with her pack for most of her life, until she met Orion, who was training in the woods where she lived. Fascinated by the idea of vigilantism, she decided to stick with Orion and help them with their goal of stopping crime.  Orion eventually gave in, realizing that Selene was here to stay and wouldn’t leave him alone no matter how hard he tried to be a lone wolf (pun intended!).  Now she helps him fight criminals and villains with the hero name of Fang (she found the idea of needing a hero name to be a bit silly at first).

On one particular mission, Hunter and Fang accompanied Huntress and Question to the Watchtower in order to team up with some of the official Leaguers.  Since they weren’t allowed to stay and talk with the adults (much to Orion’s irritation), they began exploring the Watchtower, eventually coming across a training room wherein a girl was shooting beams of green energy at targets with varying degrees of success.  The trio got to talking and became quick friends over their love of the stars.  Nowadays, it is quite common to see Hunter and Fang aiding the local Green Lantern against any villains that try to do wrong in their city

A thing I've never heard talked about but is so down right poetic as a wyllstarion concept is that the park right outside Cazadors was the one Wyll played in pretending to kill monsters when he was a kid...

Idk why but this was so funny and cute 😂 Tails is just happily working on the doohickey (with his tongue sticking out 🥹) and Sonic is just bored out of his mind

And Tails, the baby brother, this 4 or 5-year-old child, says with such parental energy, "Do you wanna go take a nap"

The dynamic never gets old 😂💙💛

Running Into Their Arms prompt, part 2

Space, a beautiful thing.

Many people love to look at the stars far above, and marvel at what it's like up in the galaxy.  As a Green Lantern, Jess had the rare pleasure of flying through the void, and seeing alien constellations with her own eyes.  Some friends of hers got her into constellations, actually, and she had long ago been taught the various stars and constellations that make up the night sky.

This is how Jess knew that one of the constellations she was seeing right now wasn't in the right place.

"Don't get up, the doctors said that you're going to be physically weak from the poison that you got injected with," said the constellation sternly, walking towards her and waving a gloved hand in front of her face, checking her responsiveness, "you're going to be out of it, too, so don't try anything goofy, or I will tie you to the gurney."

It was around that moment that Jess's mind cleared up enough to get a bearing on her surroundings.  The stars she was seeing were in fact stars, albeit outside a very thick window in the Watchtower medical wing.  The lost constellation, however, was not in fact stars, and instead just a depiction of Orion's Belt, on none other than the suit of the local vigilante, Hunter.

"Oh, Hey Big O, fancy seeing you here!" The lantern replied, feeling only a little dizzy.  She tried to wave but found her arm felt like lead, so instead smiled at her friend.

"You really need to learn to call for backup before your opponent starts to sweep the floor with you."  The masked fighter moved to one of the chairs beside the bed, continuing with an exasperated tone,  "You wanna know when I learned you were in danger? When I got a breaking news alert from the news that there was a fight going on. I can't just will my suit into existence like you can, some of us need to get dressed to fight!" They emphasized their point by gesturing to the various belts and harnesses on his own suit.

While her friend talked, Jess found a workaround to the numb limbs situation, and conjured up a green arm to wave away her friend's concerns.  "I don't know why you're so worried Orion, I'm alive, aren't I?"

"Yeah, because Selene and I arrived before that alien bit off your head," he said, handing Jess's phone to the glowing hand for her to see.  Before she unlocked it, she could see 17 missed calls and 39 unread texts from the contact "My Beloved 🖤", accompanied by a notification that Vikka’s bracelet was detecting no life signs.  Seeing that grounded her very quickly, and she turned to the fighter next to her.

“Where’s Vikka, is she alright?  How long was I out?  Does J’onn know?  I need to get home and find her!  Help me get ou-” The lantern was asking questions at a fast pace, panicked by the idea that Vikka had been harmed while she was out, but she was cut off when the door to her room opened, and in walked two familiar faces.

The taller of the figures, a muscular woman with fangs and wolf ears, smiled widely and began wagging her tail at the sight of Jess sitting up in bed, and turned to say something to the other person entering the room, too slowly, however, as the second figure nearly slammed into Jess within half a second of being in the room.  Wanting them to have time alone, Orion got up and joined Selene, standing guard outside the room, making sure the pair wasn’t bothered.

“You’re alright! You’re alive and you’re okay and you’re alright!” Vikka managed to say, her voice giving out at the end, holding Jess in a tight embrace, her body shaking with sobs of relief.  The lantern was holding onto her partner just as tightly, grabbing onto the edges of her clothes, as if she might disappear at any moment.  “Yeah, I’m here, I’m not going anywhere, nowhere you can’t come with,” was all she was able to say to reassure her partner, before she too broke down in tears.

The pair held each other for a long while, neither one wanting to let go.

I made a taglist of everyone who has read this stuff so far, let me know if I shouldn't put you on the taglist
