Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Derek Powers 

A corporate shark of the highest order, Derek Powers would stop at nothing to become the most successful businessman out there.  He ran Powers Technology and attempted on numerous occasions to take over Wayne Enterprises.  Bruce Wayne had long since stepped away from the company and once Luscious Fox retired, Powers finally had the votes needed to orchestrate a merger, creating the conglomerate, Wayne-Powers with Powers himself as the chief executive officer.  

Wayne-Powers would go on to branch into multiple fields, absorbing numerous smaller companies and making Powers incredibly wealthy and powerful.  

In his unhinged efforts to augment his wishes and influences, Powers began to focus on weapons manufacturing, specifically biological agents to be sold to overseas entities.  Herein, Powers had his scientists cultivate a deadly, mutagenic nerve toxin.  In order to test this toxin, Powers arranged for an employee to be infected, making it look like an accidental leak.

Dying from the infection, the employee managed to smuggle out information on what Powers was up to, passing it along to Warren McGinnis.  Powers was aware that McGinnis had this information and he had his agent murder McGinnis and stage the scene so that it appeared a random crime perpetrated by the street gang known as The Jokerz.  

Warren’s teenage son, Terry, looked into his father’s murder, an investigation that ultimately led him to Bruce Wayne and resulted in the youth taking on the mantle of the new Batman.  As Batman, Terry was able to break up Powers’ scheme and prevent the sale of the biological weapon.  In the ensuing fracas, Powers was exposed to a lethal dosage of the nerve toxin.

Powers was rushed into treatment and bombarded with mutagenic radiation in hopes of counteracting the toxin.  The process succeeded in saving Powers life yet left him gravely transformed.  He was changed into a living dynamo of radioactivity with translucent skin.   Somehow he was able to evade prosecution and remained the CEO of Wayne-Powers.  Yet his condition continued to worsen and his efforts to reverse it all failed.  He slowly descended into madness and the super villain known as Blight.

Actor Sherman Howard provided the voice for Derek Powers, with the nemesis first appearing in the debut episode of Batman Beyond.

Sai Barrajandro Narong/Shdwkyz a.k.a The Phantom Slasher belongs to my amazing Rp partner @demon-blood-youths

Terry McGinnis belongs to and is from the cartoon series Batman Beyond but also me due to rping as him as a muse. Venom batman belongs to me as well.

((Note: Their will be grammar mistakes and errors in this drabble as others have this warning. But like I state before, this is written for fun. So I hope you like it and my friend too. Enjoy))

"What do you mean you have given me old information!? Your told me the folder you had was current!"

"I'm sorry Shdwkyz, I thought I gave the right folder to you that night. But look at the bright side, at least it's not someone boring. And, I figure he would be in good hands knowing your good at hunting down criminals."

Shdwkyz's eye twitch hearing his officer police chief Ink tell him in a nervous tone over the phone.

"You thought!? Damn it Ink, why can't you at least ask Navarro or Hellmare to help you with this type of stuff?" he said.

"Ummmmm...because I tend to forget?" she laughed nervous only for a vein to pop on his forehead. He was trying his best not to be angry but she was his commander office in chief so....

"Ughhh...just...nevermind. I should be fine dealing with him. Next time, just ask Navarro for help with documents." he said.

"Okay! XD" she said before hanging up. Shdwkyz said nothing but he face slams on the desk groaning.

~~~~~~~

That phone call was hours ago but Shdwkyz didn't leave the office. He knew he got the current file on his prisoner but reading it, it was true. Terry was a turned or spliced with a demon bat DNA. That explains the bat canine fangs he had. However, they looked pretty sharp that got Shdwkyz thinking.

'Of course Ink would forget to ask for that and now I figure this out. Why me?' he thought shaking his head with one hand covering his face. No no calm down, he should be fine. He just needs to work on this and stay calm for now. It shouldn't be too bad. As long as he stays away and only checks on him he should be fine.

Right?

Though, seeing Terry having canine teeth like that was....something. He wasn't expecting to even hit him due to the sudden grab and touch. Maybe he really was different than when he was human and he didn't mind that. It made the snake remain still for a second.

'Just calm down Shdwkyz, you got this. He's just trying to play games with you is all. I'll be fine as long as I don't let him provoke me.' he told himself but focusing on the camera in case. So far, it was quiet after that afternoon but he was checking on the document now.

He read up a bit more seeing he was indeed some what part bat given the canine fangs and such. Great. Just great. He sighed to close his eyes only to look seeing that it was getting late. Maybe he should check on him again to see if he is sleeping. But he will have to keep a distance from him.

"You can do this Shdwkyz..just check on him and move on.." he said getting up and heading to the door. He stood in front of it but already reaches to take the door knob and turn it. The door opens showing the cell once more. He looks to see it was pretty dark in this room. Didn't they fix the lights in here?

He ignored it and goes to check. "Hey, are you still awake or did you finally go to sleep?" he waits for a response to hear nothing. Maybe he was sleeping. He only looks to see that but noticed some slight movement in the cell.

"Huh?" he sees Terry laying on the side now like he was resting up. Curled up as he rests up. "....Maybe I am over thinking this. I'm not to be afraid or nervous over such a thing. It's silly. I'm known for who I am so this shouldn't bother me." he said even if he was quiet from before. The thought only made him unsure about it. Even now, he was still sorta nervous being in the same room with this criminal.

".....Though, seeing that he's resting. It should be fine. I should be fine...." he said. He wonders if he should go closer to see-no no no! He said he would stay away from the cell after what happened. However, he just grew curious. Maybe a peek will be fine?

Shdwkyz slowly walks forward to look at the prisoner who still remains still. He sees him not moving and yet, he was looking quiet for now. "........"

Yeah, he's over worried over nothing. It's fine. Sighing, he looks away from the other.

"Yeah, I'm just freaking out over nothing right now....." he said now heading back to his office. As he was getting to the door, the lights suddenly went out!

"!?" he tenses looking around in the dark but he reaches to find his flash light and turn it on. "Damn it, the power went out? Ughhhh I don't need this right now.." he said going to check and see what might have caused it. However, Terry opens his eyes to see that but a small smirk was seen.

In the other room, Shdwkyz saw the power in some parts of the prison was out. Maybe some weak wiring was the blame? He'll have to speak to someone in fixing that. "Stupid thing. It's always the old generators they never fix now a days. You just had to go out, you rusty bucket of bolts?" he growls hitting the generator but sees it did nothing. Shaking his head, that means the power is out for this night.

"Maybe their some candles somewhere.." he said heading back in the office to look. He flashes the light around to check the cabinet and see some candles to light them. Right away, he got some light but sighed.

"Okay..that works." he said. "I better see if he is fine though..I don't need to be blamed for him doing something." he said going to check on Terry. The door opens to look inside.

"Hey, if your still sleeping that's great. I don't need you waking up on me.." he said flashing his light up. "Or worse, you better be-" as he shines the light, his eyes slowly widen.

The cell door was open and the prisoner was gone.

'What the fuck!? Where did he go?!' Shdwkyz rushes to the cell and look inside seeing it was empty. Even the baby bat was gone. How was that possible?! He was sleeping right? So how did he get out!? He looks around using his flashlight but saw nothing nor a struggle of him getting out. "Tch..." he had to find him before he had the chance to escape.

"Damn him..I have to find him before he gets out." Shdwkyz said hurrying to the front door but when he did, he saw it was locked. "Huh?" He tries turning the handle seeing it was locked! How!? How the hell did the door get locked.

"...Oooooh officer....looking for something?"

A voice said behind him right by his ear that Shdwkyz tries to quickly turns to try flashing a light . However, a hand covers his mouth and a hand grabs his wrists.

"Mfffmmmm!!!!!"

The light only flickers slightly from overhead that Shdwkyz slowly opens his eyes to be held in some tight hold by someone.

"Well, well, well, and here I thought you were good at hiding in the dark..seems your not." A familiar voice for the snake's eyes to widen. It was the prisoner! How did he-

"Hello there.." he said but Shdwkyz started struggling for him to get pressed up against the door again. "Now now, don't struggle. I won't hurt you........but It's nice you came to check on him." he said against his ear seeing it flush pink now. He struggles again for Terry to growl against his neck making him stop.

"Don't struggle..you'll make this worse but...lets not fight hmm?" he said slowly lowering his hand from Shdwkyz's mouth to let him speak.

"Let me...the fuck g..go.." he growls back but Terry chuckled to smile.

"Not a chance....I don't think I will given the fact you're pretty tasty. I wonder if you would be kind to let me have a little more hmm?" he asked as Sai looks shocked.

"What are you talking about my blood? Have you gone crazy?!?" he said only for Terry to sigh, tightening his hold but not to hurt him.

"I'm not crazy..but..given the fact that I got a taste..I want more of it. Besides, you wouldn't mind sharing would you?" he said against his neck but Shdwkyz grits his teeth ready to punch him.

"Damn you. Let me go!" he begins trying to get Terry to let him go even leaning his head back to bash it against Terry's face. He heard a grunt from the other as Shdwkyz held his head wincing in pain. However, he tries to get out only for him to get grabbed again.

"HEY!! I SAID LET ME GO-" As soon as he says this, Terry pulls him close and lowers down biting down on his shoulder deeply. Shdwkyz winces with wide eyes from the sting feeling him drinking some of his blood. What the hell was he doing?! He grips his prison uniform trying to get away but Terry presses up against the door while drinking from him.

"What the fuck are you doing!? Let g..go of me!" he shouted with eyes shut tight from the bite. He feels the fangs sinking deeper into his skin drawing more blood but something was being given to him before Terry moves him from the door and lets go. He panted heavily showing the snake's blood on his lips as Shdwkyz falls on his knees covering where he bit him.

"D..damn it....w..what did you do that for!?" he said glaring at the other as Terry licked his canine teeth to look.

"Nothing..but you'll find out soon." he said confusing the snake till Shdwkyz got nervous. What did he mean by that. As he tries to stand, suddenly he couldn't move. His body felt hot and he was shaking looking down as he covers where he got bit.

'M..My body...what the hell?? I can't move....and I feel..hot all over...' he thought slowly panting but he growls to claw the ground. Terry noticed but chuckled to smile.

"Seems it's kicking in.."

"Haaaa...w..what the f..fuck...mmm..did you d..do to me?" he said for Terry to get on one knee to hold his chin by his hand.

"Easy, I injected some of my own venom into your blood but it won't kill you...maybe heat you up to make you want something else..I assure you, it will be fine.." he said.

"I..Injected? What did you-"

"Shhhhh..it's nothing deadly....it's just something to make you ready to be mine.." he said as Shdwkyz tries to back away from him but he grabs his arm to pull him close while holding him.

"L..Let go....let go of me, damn you!"

"I don't think I will..right now. I am going to claim what is rightfully mine..and you'll be mine forever you snake." he whispered as his black eyes changed to green glowing to make Shdwkyz tense up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Terry was able to lock the cell door so Shdwkyz couldn't run. Even if he could, he had the keys. Right now, he was twitching feeling him feeling him sucking him off, seeing the other shaking on the cell room bed. He was trying to get away from this guy while hissing from the heated licks of his tongue. His mouth was way too hot as well but he didn't stop he just went harder.

"Haaaa...haaaa....E...Enough already...enough with the damn tongue..get o..off of me!" he growls leaning his head back but Terry chuckled still keeping him spread open seeing he was wet thanks to the bite. His lips were against his cock looking up at him.

"But your all wet now. You must like this if your shaking from what I'm doing." he teased even holding his hips down to keep licking him.

"But that's not the-Nugghh!" he twitched trying to get free from his ropes but Terry only keeps him still even fingering him deeply as the snake hisses. His mouth was wrapped around his cock again, making the snake throw his head back growling.

"Stop it already! I said st..stop!!" he groans out, even if it felt weird and already tightening around him, it was hot. How in the world could this be happening right now!?

Shdwkyz moans leaning his head back, panting heavily as one of his eyes were glowing from the bangs from his dark brown hair covering the other. Why did it feel good all of a sudden? Was it due to the bite? It had to be. Now, he was shaking biting his bottom lip trying to ignore the feeling. Even if this man was pleasuring him, he was shaking feeling his hips buck.

'N..No, this isn't happening right now..I can't be l..losing like this. It's..it's insane. I have to get him off before he does something else weird.' Shdwkyz thought trying to thrash again in his hold. Even if he felt that, Terry's grip was strong only forcing his legs apart and pushing his head down more making the snake moan out even worse.

"Well you g..get off of m..meeeeeeee!! Naugghhhh aahhhhh..st..stop licking under t..the......hhhaaa..." Terry keeps on going but he didn't stop already growing excited himself. This snake was stubborn but it was worth it.

He only went harder trying to make him feel good that he was already feeling close to cumming. 'Oh no, your throbbing down here...and dripping more. Your close to cumming again..so go ahead and let it all out. I'll catch it.' Terry thought hearing Sai's moans throwing his head back. He curls his toes trying to thrash more.

'Damn it, i can't take this any more! I'll...I'll cum if he don't stop..he has to get off before I..'

"Grrr...c....cumming..g..get off. Get off!" he said but Terry went faster bobbing his head that made Sai scream again. With a buck of his hips he feels his fingers thrusting into him on the spot. Feeling this, he moans cumming accidentally into his mouth. Terry feels the load but he only keeps his head down feeling the twitching from the snake warden.

In a moment, he pulls his head up only to chuckle as Sai panted heavily falling back on the bed shaking. "Not bad snake. You sure came a lot. Was it that good?" he teased even is Shdwkyz glares at him.

"It....didn't. Get the hell off of me or I'll fucking cut your head off." he hissed but Terry looks to smile.

"Such a violent little thing. You could if you wish but I rather have more fun.." he said as he sees him trying to get away, he was grabbed by Terry again and pulled close. He gasped feeling his fingers rubbing against his hole feeling it open and close.

"Besides, you seem hungry for more anyway....so I'll give you that." he said but Shdwkyz was shaking looking away from him even if Terry smiled.

"I'm not hungry for this you....you bat. I'm n..not a....Nuggh!" he feels his fingers pushing in and out slowly as Sai shook with his lips parted moaning out.

"You say your not but your moaning just to my fingers.....you really must love it now. Even now, your aching for it. I can help you feel better if you like.....I can give you what you hungry for." he teased against his ear feeling Shdwkyz shaking and feeling his body aching. Even so, he felt so wet down there but his body ached even worse.

"Haaaa.....haaaaaaa.......st..stop...p..please..."

"But I don't want to..don't you wanna feel good at least? Don't you want some relief?" Terry said but he only begins grinding against him that Shdwkyz panted gripping the sheets. Terry heard the sweet moans from him but he only got more and more excited that he only held him down.

"!?"

"So..how about I make you feel better hmm?" he teased now grinding against him but Shdwkyz shook drooling as his body was betraying him. He only grips the sheets to look down before he heard some shuffling and hands on his hips.

"H..Huh?" He looks seeing him pick him up to sit on his lap but he sees his cock throbbing ready to go inside. "H..Hey hey hey w..wait don't! NO!" he shouted trying to move but Terry lifts his hips and slams him down on his cock.

Shdwkyz screams throwing his head back as he came again feeling full. He shook from this only for Terry to laugh holding his legs up side by side in a V shape.

"Damn you really are a tight snake and you took me in so well too." he laughed but Shdwkyz shook drooling but he feels him being so full. He tries to move but Terry wouldn't let him go. "Then..shall we have more fun?" he said.

"D...don't mo..move....damn it..I....it's b..big...." he panted softly before he feels Terry thrusts up into him as he cries out looking up in a daze. He was being forced to bounce on his lap while taking the bat's cock. It felt hotter even when he moves.

"Haaaa...hhaaaaa.....nugghhhh....mmmmmmm..."

"That's it. Feels good right? Your tightening around me again." he teased thrusting into him that Shdwkyz moans clawing the sheets while bouncing.

"I..I don't feel good! I don't like this you pervert!" he shouted panting but Terry only goes faster making Shdwkyz moan out loudly.

"It's not my fault I find you interesting, my snake. Besides, if you didn't like it you would have cut my head off wouldn't you? I could let you but why? Your body seems to be more honest with me than you. So why not submit to me already??" he said.

"I won't surrender! I won't!" he moans out that Terry laughed still moving his hips to go faster now.

"Then keep taking it till you do!" he said hearing more squeaks, moans, and cries of pleasure from him but it only got worse and worse feeling him tightening around him while being touched. His hands remain on his legs to keep them apart while thrusting harder into him.

~~~~~~~~~

Shdwkyz lost count to the many times he came but he was shaking trying to get away from Terry but he wouldn't stop! Even if he bit him as a warning, that only turned him on more. He was now held down on his front taking in more brutal thrusts, his eyes dazed and biting into the pillow.

"Haaaa....seems like your taking me even deeper. You must love this now." Terry teased now gripping his wrists to bite against his neck from the last time.

"MMMMMMM!!!!!"

"Though, you look so arousing like this." he laughed pounding into him as Shdwkyz was screaming behind the sheets in his mouth.

'Ahhhhh I can't t..take anymore! Why won't he just c..cum already?! I came more than he did but h..he is a beast in bed!' he moans in his thoughts before he yelps from the thrusts getting faster and faster.

'No not again! Damn not a..again!!!' he screams in his thoughts feeling his own hips bucking back into his. It did feel really good but he was only trying to fight it off only to sink deeper into it. Terry noticed only to pant heavily to lay on top of him still thrusting deeper.

"Heh..that's it..just let yourself go..it's too good for you to fight back anyway. So just accept it." he whispered into his neck as Shdwkyz was looking up with his yellow serpentine eyes glowing in the dark as he was drooling feeling too close.

"MFffmmmm!!!!!!!" He tries to fight it back but Shdwkyz only lets the sheets go moaning out worse in the cell while having his own neck teased.

"Ahhhh I...I c..can't t.. take it a..anymore!! P..Please!! Please!!" he begs but Terry smiled holding his head back seeing his body shaking.

"Please what?"

".......M...More..g..give me more..." he said that Terry smiled to give him what he asked. He heard more sweet moans slipping past his lips while moaning out. "ahhhh Yes! R..right there please! Right there!!" he begs but Terry keeps going wanting to feel more and more.

He quickens his hips still going while Shdwkyz kept screaming in the cell but Terry sits up holding him down by the wrists. "Fine then..I'll give you another load to have..." he said as Sai shook under him.

"Y..Yes fill me up. Fill me up more with more cum! Please let me have more! I'm gonna c..cum!!!" he cries before Terry snaps his hips down cumming inside as Sai came as well. She shook twitching under the bat drooling but he feels some squirt out while twitching.

When he was done, he lowers to turn Shdwkyz's head kissing his lips. He only returns the kiss back while shaking under him. Even if he felt full, he had his eyes covered by Terry while he was making out with him. When he breaks the kiss, he smiled seeing Shdwkyz panting.

"Don't worry..were not done yet......lets keep going." he said before changing positions. In the cell, Terry had Shdwkyz trapped against the wall as he was moaning out with some cum running down the wall. Yeah, seems he was losing it too.

Now, it seems the bat has claimed the snake.

~~~~~Meanwhile in a office building~~~~~~

A male was standing up looking out from the window tonight. His red eyes only remaining cold before hearing a phone call. Looking to the phone, he reaches to pick it up.

"Hello......."

"Hello sir, I hope I'm not bothering you tonight. I got some news to give regarding your baby brother.." the other said on the line.

".....I see. Are you able to find a lawyer for him and his friends to get out?" he said.

"Yes. They will be there in a few days or a week to speak with Warden Kinie. However, giving the situation she's pretty strict sir. How are you going to-"

"Don't worry about it. I can 'speak' with the warden so she won't be a problem. Just be sure you do your part in getting that lawyer there sooner." he said.

"I understand but how? You know she has a strict prison and their are other police headstations in New York so-"

"Believe me I know. I do have some hidden help in the prisons so you don't worry....but what of the other? I heard he was also in her prison."

"Y..Yes, he's there but it seems his team was separated because they would have gotten out. Each member is in a different prison in New York."

"I see....well, I'm curious to see how this works in our favor. Be sure you keep me updated." he said.

"Y..Yes..Mister Ryomen." the other said before a click was heard. Standing up, Sukuna looks but he smiled already thinking about the warden. Kinie was it? He always took a liking to her so this should be fun.

~~~~~~~~~~

In a cell in Warden Kinie's prison, one male was sitting in his cell looking at the window. His blind eyes were looking ahead but he was only thinking to how this would go. His dreadlocks were up in a ponytail but he sighed to relax then look to his bloody knuckles after beating up a idiot earlier that night.

"............." Rex Oxford mills was annoyed but he looks ahead like his eyes were glowing in the dark of his cell.

'Just wait my fallen maidens...we will get out of here......just wait.'

Star Wars

Luke Jade Skywalker

sun of the son

"She had always loved Anakin Skywalker. When he was the mirage of the desert dunes, sands of lies set to keep her safe. When he was a collection of war stories harshly sewn together by bloodied hands. When he had a heart singing the song of hatred, composed in the name of her death, metal hands bruising her skin, tearing her apart. She had loved him as a monster and man.

She had held him as he died a free man, alive once again. She saved him once, and now she's going to do it again."

The problem Luke Skywalker was currently facing was the fact that she didn't know she was Luke Skywalker. Instead, her mind is a mess of memories she doesn't remember living, and, unbeknownst to her, she is as far from home as one could get.

There are few things does know: she is a Jedi, and she would do anything to get back to where she was from, but as time goes by, Luke remembers and is faced with a mess of problems to solve that might save the galaxy.

Nancy Drew Rewatch

Season One - Episode One: Pilot (Continued)

So Nancy finds Tiffany’s body and yells for help. The only people who come are George, Bess, Ace, and Nick from across the street. Ryan and the guys he’s meeting with don’t respond. 

I realize this is for fully Doyleist reasons: we want the shot of our gang of five circled around the body, not cluttered with the husband and some anonymous dudes. But… it *is* odd. They’re sitting right up front, at the window, and they’d be able to look over and see this girl is standing beside Ryan’s car screaming for help. Oh well! Meeting continues uninterrupted! 

Come to think of it, they didn’t even react to the lights going out, just pulled out their phones for light and continued on. I’ve been in restaurants when the power goes out. People tend to react. I’m not saying get up and run around but - people do tend to sit up and pay attention, look around, check to see if other businesses are affected. (Ace does call out that the whole marina is out, but Ryan and the guys he’s with aren’t the type to take someone’s word for something like that, generally.)

Again, it’s all for show reasons, not in universe reasons. But things like that definitely lend to the subconscious impression that Ryan doesn’t give a shit about his wife, even before we’re given more concrete evidence.

And boy those cops arrive fast. Maybe one of the earliest examples of Horseshoe Bay’s time jiggery!

When the cops question the gang and everyone offers their whereabouts, it’s Ace’s that’s the noteworthy one. He’s the only one with an alibi: he was delivering food to Ryan and his friends. (Also, as he tells us/the cops this, he’s sitting at their table, eating leftover food.) But it’s his “since the waitresses were nowhere to be seen” comment that sticks out. 

Episode one Ace isn’t quite dialed in as a character - far more than the others. Of course, he’s also quite literally informing for Chief McGinnis, so that quick volunteering of info isn’t that wild. Still, it’s hard to imagine the Ace we come to know later being so quick to offer such a comment. “Not that I think they did anything wrong.”

Once Nancy, George, Bess, and Nick are all taken to the station, it’s Nick who spells out that the cops are trying to come up with enough to charge them. 

“Charge us?” George asks. “With what?” Well, future lawyer, George… I’ll give you a minute to take a guess. Starts with an ‘M’… ends with ‘urder.’

McGinnis lists off his assessment of their characters, we get one of my favorite exchanges in the episode.

McGinnis: I’m looking at a decent four-pack: town screw up, ex-con, city girl, and Nancy Drew.

Bess: Why does he say your name like that?

McGinnis: She used to complicate my job.

George: You mean do it for you?

This quick back and forth further establishes that McGinnis is an antagonist, has Bess’s comment about his tone (which just tickles me for some reason), and has a very George-like rebuttal. It’s surprising, giving the animosity between George and Nancy but, especially when McGinnis responds with, “Ah, Ms. Fan. I haven’t thrown your mom in the drunk tank this month. How’s she doing? Say ‘hi.’” It’s easy to see why he ranks higher on her shit-list than Nancy does.

It’s also interesting to note that Bess outs herself about the shoplifting but Nick is outed by McGinnis despite the information being in sealed records. 

I think the pilot does an excellent job of keeping that finger of blame and recrimination spinning. They all look to Nick after the ‘ex-con’ revelation, then Nancy’s “You never told me you went to jail” gets her noticed. George and Bess must be wondering why he would have told her, which is answered quickly when Nick responds, “One of the many things you never asked about.”

Nancy is quick to sidestep the issue and redirect the conversation by pointing out Tiffany’s husband, Ryan Hudson, is a far more likely suspect and it’s concerning that McGinnis doesn’t seem to be interested in him. 

McGinnis takes Nancy into his office and she suggests a medical condition could have killed Tiffany and he responds by playing her the 911 tape. (This guy just doesn’t care who he shares what information with, does he?)

When Nancy mentions Tiffany’s ring - there when she delivered the food, gone when she found her dead - McGinnis suggests Nancy could use it to pay off medical debt from her mom’s death.

Sure, I guess? But wouldn’t it be odd for her to be the one pointing out the ring was missing if she stole it? But that’s applying a level of reasoning McGinnis is woefully shy of.

Karen - sorry, Detective Hart, while we’re in the station - has called Nancy’s dad and he shows up to play concerned father, a role Nancy was happy leaving unfulfilled. They trade tense words and we see, Nancy doesn’t seem to have many people in her life that she’s letting in anymore.

Nancy storms out on her own, walking down a bizarrely uninhabited street where she hears the charming ‘Dead Lucy’ chant: Lucy Sable once was able to look upon the sea but someone got her in the water now that’s where she’ll always be.

We know that ‘Dead Lucy’ is a thing in the town. (When Nancy later shares her not-fireworks-but-instead-lurking-shape-in-the-mist-just-before-Tiffany-died video with the the others at The Claw, Ace mentions she’s blamed for things as varied as baseballs through windows and another woman’s jewelry in someone’s marriage bed.) But gosh, were post Y2K kids making up poems like that about local legends? 

Amid the echoes of phantom children chanting about a dead girl, Nancy sees her reflection in a shop window, her face above a pink dress, and more mysteriously, Sea Queen crown on her head. Is this the first example that this isn’t the ‘Carolyn Keene’ Nancy Drew we might have expected?

Nancy goes home, watches her terribly framed for fireworks but perfectly framed for watching Tiffany’s last moments phone video, and sees our next and far more solid (though ‘solid’ isn’t the word for it, is it?) evidence of the supernatural.

She shows it to The Claw crew as mentioned above and Bess is quickly Team Ghost. Nancy dismisses it, takes back her phone, and George lets Nick in. Nancy didn’t bring him coffee like usual. (Come to think of it, we did see a lot of paper coffee cups amid those shaking books when Nancy was, uh, ‘delivering coffee’ to Nick at the garage the day before.)

He gets her to admit they’ve been involved. (While Ace drinks the coffee he brought out for Nick who Bess points out no longer seems interested in the beverage. I do kinda like this running bit with Ace.)

When Nancy tries to remind everyone there’s more important things going on than acknowledging she and Nick have been having coffee, like that they’re all murder suspects even though the real culprit is probably Ryan Hudson, George is quick to defend him. Bess also thinks it’s unlikely. But Nick aligns himself with Nancy on Team Look at the Husband. (Team name might need work, I’m not sure it’ll fit on the t-shirts.)

Nancy goes on to explain how she’d investigate Ryan - if she was doing that sort of thing, of course - and Nick seems very interested in what she has to say. 

Before we cut to the next scene where Nancy is, in fact, doing that sort of thing, Nick wonders if she’ll change her mind. George tells him that Nancy’s been different since her mom died. Another little crumb of information about Nancy falls into Nick’s hands.

Nancy sneaks into the home of Ryan and not-killed-by-a-ghost Tiffany Hudson, rushing under the closing garage door after Ryan leaves. She creeps through the house, an open window makes curtains flutter complete with creepy passing shadow, the bedroom door slams shut behind her, startling her into a tiny table with a big glass vase which she just catches before it falls, and a motion detector blinks, summoning security. They drive up and are witnessed by Nick, who’s sitting in his truck nearby.

Inside, Nancy finds a hidden compartment in a drawer and steals a necklace and a note. Nick comes to warn her and the two run across the wide open back lawn while security guards wander the house oblivious to the pair. The only sacrifice: Nancy’s knit cap was caught on a tree as they escaped.

They get to Nick’s truck and Nancy doesn’t seem too thrilled by his help. Nick points out that he was worried and, as the one with a record, had a lot on the line by helping. When Nancy asks why he did, he tells her, “Because it was worth it.”

He drives her home, sees her mom’s car (“Doesn’t run or I’d be driving it,” she explains) and tells her if she ever wants to talk about her mom, he’s there. Nancy’s surprised he knows about her mom. He tells her he likes her, he’ll tell her his messy past and she can share hers. She pulls back, says she’ll be in college soon so there’s no need for them to start anything serious. Nick takes it as implied insult - she’ll be gone and he’ll still be there fixing boats and going nowhere. 

Their one step closer, two steps back dance continues as Nancy yells at his departing truck, “See? This is why it’s better not to talk!”

At work the next day, Nancy asks for George’s help in the limited area of ocean-themed jewelry. George explains what the mariner’s good luck charm is and how it works, Nancy admits it was Tiffany’s, George is shocked Nancy broke into Ryan’s house, and Bess… Ah, Bess is shocked that Nancy stole Tiffany’s jewelry. What a funny thing to focus on, Bess. So weird.

Bess and George are impressed. (Ace is impressed, too!)

The three (not including ‘hey-can-I-come-with-you’ Ace) head outside to dissolve the glue holding the necklace closed and reveal what’s inside. Inside is the seahorse logo from the Sea Queen crown and an address to a medium. The three head off together (to Nancy’s reluctance) to talk to the medium. (After a quick change out of their uniforms. So maybe they wait until after their shift is over instead of ditching Ace completely.)

The medium’s pitiful little show is interrupted by a bang on the table and her croaking out “Find the dress! Find the dress! Find the dress!” She tells them to leave. “That wasn’t supposed to happen. I heard a voice. From the dead.” George: “You’re a medium! Occupation hazard!” Nancy: “Who’s voice? Who’s dress?” Medium: “That wasn’t Tiffany.” Bess: “That was Dead Lucy.”

Meanwhile back at Nancy’s house, her dad and Detective Hart - wait, they’re out of the station, maybe she’s Karen again - are discussing Nancy’s hat. She found it at Ryan Hudson’s house, took it from the crime scene, and brought it to Nancy’s dad to destroy. Karen doesn’t believe Nancy is involved and is trying to protect her. They kiss which of course Nancy walks in on. 

She’s not exactly throwing a party for the couple. She and her father butt heads, she grabs her hat, storms off, tells him she’ll reapply for school and get the hell out of there. Then she takes off.

And goes to Nick’s.

Nancy admits how out of control her life is and that pretending it wasn’t hasn’t worked. The only thing making it any better, she admits, is Nick. She tells him she wants to get to know him and they kiss.

Nancy stays with Nick at the garage and he drives her home in the morning, telling her about the abrupt and early end to his football career and she asks him about the jail thing. When he doesn’t immediately answer, she backs down, telling him he doesn’t have to tell her now. Nick: Why? Because girls love mystery? Nancy: Because I can wait until you’re ready.

This time, instead of an argument and yelling, they kiss before she gets out of the truck. She goes inside to find her father waiting. He saw Nick dropped her off and he tells her that despite the problems between them, he’s concerned about her and wants her to stay away from Nick. Nancy: Oh my god, were you his lawyer? Her dad: You know I couldn’t discuss it even if I was. Nancy, internally: That’s totally a ‘yes.’

Cue Nancy heading into his home office with a screwdriver, going for his file cabinet.

(Sidenote: I’ve been calling him ‘Nancy’s dad’ because I don’t think - or just haven’t caught it - that he’s been introduced as Carson Drew yet. The ‘Drew’ is implied of course, but still…) 

She gets Nick’s file, finds out his charge was manslaughter and that he was found guilty after Tiffany’s testimony.

So that finger of guilt swivels again just as Nick pulls up with the tow truck to get Nancy’s mom’s car so he can get it working for her. 

Nancy realizes everyone at The Claw really is a suspect and begins setting up to investigate everyone and we get a montage of everyone else being shady: George going to Ryan’s, Ace recording George at Ryan’s and sending it to McGinnis, Bess with Tiffany’s ring, and Nick finding something hidden in Nancy’s mom’s car.

And then, as Nancy sits at her desk compiling her notes on the case, the power goes out just like it did at The Claw before Tiffany died. She wanders the house with her flashlight and the attic stairs drop open, beckoning her up. Nancy goes.

In the attic, she finds a loose edge of wallpaper. As she tears it away, she finds that creepy Dead Lucy chant  carved into the wall beneath it, this time with the ending ‘Count to five and hope the killer doesn’t get you.’

And then, just like in that memory from when she was a kid, the one her mother had told her was a dream, Nancy finds a chest.

Inside is a pink dress, blood stained dark across the front.

“Why is it always the ones you love most, who have the most to hide?” Nancy wonders to herself, unaware of Dead Lucy appearing behind her.

I think the pilot does a great job of setting up all the characters. (Again, I still think Ace needed to be dialed in a bit more but his character isn’t that far off and he’s definitely got some fun quirks that make him memorable.) It also juggled a LOT of character relationships and did a good job of see-sawing the trust/suspect balance with them. It was solid! And it’s a lot more fun on rewatch when I’m not so puzzled by the supernatural aspects. I’m also surprised by how warmly I still feel about Nancy and Nick even though I’m very much a Nace and… is there a ship name for George and Nick?

"FAILURE OF GUARDS TO RAISE AN ALARM IS COMMENTED UPON," Vancouver Sun. November 15, 1912. Page 5. ---- Story of How the Convicts Mutinied in Provincial Penitentiary Graphically Described. ---- REVOLVERS TAKEN BY THE PRISONERS ---- Marched Custodians in Front of Them With Hands Above Their Heads, Is Evidence. ---- NEW WESTMINSTER, Nov. 14. - Slackness on the part of guards and their neglect to raise an alarm at the early stages of the attempted jail break were points emphasized at the trial of Convict Smith today by prisoner's counsel, Mr. F. W. Hansford. That the deceased convict, Wil- son, was the chief aggressor in the affair, counsel also endeavored to establish.

Chief Keeper W. H. Patchell identified revolvers in court as belonging to Guards Morrison, Craig, Rounds and Joynson. Most of these contained empty shells, that of the murdered guard having all chambers discharged. Guard Craig's weapon was unloaded. Those belonging to Joynson and Rounds each contained six empty shells when returned to the armoury after the affray, testified witness.

Deputy Warden W. J. Carrell testified to having heard the commotion and to running to the assistance of the guards, armed with a Winchester rifle. Upon arrival at the scene of the scuffle he saw Joynson lying upon the ground, while at little farther on Guard Rounds and Convict Smith were struggling, the convict being armed with two revolvers, one discharged and the other loaded. When threatened with the warden's rifle Smith gave up the struggle and was secured.

Struck by Hammer. Guard Craig stated that he had occasion to rebuke Smith for leaving his box and for talking to the convicts, notably to Wilson. As he was returning to his box Smith struck witness a severe blow on the head with a hammer. Wilson rushed forward and seized Craig, who fell. The convict possessed himself of the guard's revolver, turned it on the officer and pulled the trigger. As the revolver was not loaded no serious consequences followed.

Reaching McGinnis he asked him to fire his revolver, and then followed the men to the entrance, only to find the door closed upon him. Looking through the poop hole he saw Smith running across the outer yard, with Guard Rounds in front of him. He then returned to the main building to get his head dressed, feeling weak from loss of blood.

Mr. F. W. Hansford, counsel for prisoner, to next witness, Guard McGinnis "Can you explain why you neither fired your revolver, blew your whistle or in any way raised an alarm?" "I was surrounded by forty or fifty convicts, and thought it safer to keep my revolver in my pocket."

Peter Thompson Williams, a convict, gave evidence that he saw the fight and ran to the officer's assistance. Wilson turned the gun on him and told him to get back. Other convicts also told him not to interfere, so he turned back.

Guard Rounds stated that at 2:50 he unlocked the door to pass a convict to the blacksmith shop. Just as he closed the door a voice behind him demanded that he throw up his hands. He turned and saw Convict Wilson pointing a revolver at him. Convict Smith, who was beside him, took his loaded revolver from his pocket and also his keys. Marching Rounds before them the convicts next came on Guard Morrison, whom they similarly disarmed. Marching the two guards before them they then went to Tower No. 12, where Guard Elson was also forced to throw down his rifle and give up his keys.

These were in the watch tower and he was told to fetch them. Re- turning with them he threw them upon the ground toward the convicts. As Wilson stooped to pick them up Guard Joynson approached and opened fire from his revolver.

Smith Fired Revolver. The convicts returned the fire, Wilson with the rifle and Smith with the revolver. Joynson fell, and Wilson also dropped, with the remark It's all up. Smith, I'm wounded." Wilson was shot by Guard Elson.

Smith then came toward Rounds, who fired one shot from the rifle, which he had secured when Wilson fell. He then protected himself behind Wilson, but later when the convict approached closer sprang on him and held him until the arrival of Deputy Warden Carroll.

Although several shots were fired Rounds could only swear that he actually saw Smith fire one, and he could not swear that that one struck Joynson.

Guard Morrison stated Wilson fired one shot, with the rifle, and Smith fired at least three, with the revolver. These shots were fired toward Joynson.

Similar evidence was given by Guard Elson, who also testified that both Smith and Wilson fired at Joynson, but that only one shot was fired by Wilson. When witness threw down his rifle it contained three rounds of ammunition, when he next saw it one shell had been fired. Elson stated that before he fired Joynson was lying wounded upon the ground.

Court then adjourned. Witness will be cross-examined by the defense tomorrow.

The Tuskegee Airmen were a group of African-American and Caribbean-born military pilots who fought in WWII. They formed the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group of the Army Air Forces. The name applies to the navigators, bombardiers, mechanics, instructors, crew chiefs, nurses, cooks, and other support personnel.

All African American military pilots who trained in the US trained at Moton Field, the Tuskegee Army Air Field, and were educated at Tuskegee University. The group included five Haitians from the Haitian Air Force and one pilot from Trinidad. It included a Hispanic or Latino airman born in the Dominican Republic.

Nancy Drew, Ep1x01 - Pilot

Nancy Drew is interesting because I did watch the first episode when it came out.  I think I even watched some of the second episode.  However, I really didn’t like any of the characters and didn’t watch beyond that.  That being said I have been told by several people that, quite frankly, the series did have quite a rocky start; it does start to get better after a few episodes; and becomes really interesting about halfway through season one.  I probably am going to rush a little bit through the the episodes until I start to get more interested.  In other words, for awhile, this will probably be less of a recap; more of a glorified list of events in the episode.

The show starts with this unsolved murder of this beauty queen who the town calls Dead Lucy.

We also get a quick recap of Nancy’s life:  how she was this girl detective with a bright future ahead of her; how her mother got cancer and died; and how her life derailed after that.  And Nancy has sworn off mysteries.

So, for now, she works at a local restaurant with George, Ace, and Bess.  She is also sort of seeing this guy Ned Nickerson, or Nick; their relationship is complicated.

It’s the night of the Sea Queen parade and the restaurant was going to close early.  But then Mr. Hudson (local rich dude) and two other men show up.  George, the manager, decides to stay open for them.

Nancy is asked to bring food to Mr. Hudson’s wife, Tiffany, who’s waiting in the parking lot; which Nancy does.

Nancy goes back inside and suddenly the power goes out all over the town. Nancy goes outside again, to find Tiffany’s dead body.  Nancy calls for help and her coworkers and Nick run outside. But here's the strange thing. Not more than mere seconds later, a bunch of police cars pull up to the restaurant.

So, the chief of police, McGinnis, (who’s a dick and hates Nancy because she’s more competent then him) interviews everyone.  Turn out everyone was alone at the time of the murder.  The one exception is Ace, who was serving Mr. Hudson and his friends at the time.

So, everyone but Ace is brought down to the police station.  Turns out Bess has been caught for shoplifting before and Nick is a felon.  But McGinnis really seems to want to pin this all on Nancy.

We also meet Detective Karen Heart at this point.

It turns out that, just before she died, Tiffany was able to call the police for help.  

Nancy realizes that when she went to bring Tiffany her food, Tiffany was wearing a giant ring.  But the ring was gone, when Nancy found the body.

Nancy, walking home from the police station, has a creepy moment where she hears (?) children singing about the dead beauty queen.  Nancy looks at a storefront window and sees a crown on her head.

Nancy looks at a video she shot earlier that night of the fireworks.  But what she sees is Tiffany and a ghost-like figure behind her; just before the video cuts out.  Some of her coworkers thinks it’s the ghost.

Nancy thinks the husband may have killed his wife somehow.  Nancy breaks into their home to see if she can find anything unusual.  

Nancy finds a strange neckless in a hidden compartment.  Knowing it’s something of a nautical nature, Nancy asks George about it.  George tells her that women used to put secret messages into the neckless and sailors would melt them in water to get the messages out.  

They break open the neckless and find a figure of a seahorse.  But it’s also a figure that’s on the Sea Queens crown.  Also on the neckless is an address to a Medium.  Perhaps Tiffany was trying to contact or protect herself from a ghost?

The three girls go see the Medium, who tries to contact Tiffany.  However, the Medium seems to contact Dead Lucy who tells them to find the dress.

Nancy accidentally left her hat at the Hudson’s but Detective Heart found it and brought it Nancy’s father to protect Nancy.  Also, it seems like something’s going on between the father and the detective; something Nancy has just found out about.

Ace seems to have an interest in Bess, which she does not have for him.

We find out that Nancy’s dad was Nick’s lawyer and her dad wants her to stay away from him.   So Nancy breaks into her dad’s files and finds Nick’s case.  Turns out he was convicted of manslaughter based on one witness testimony; Tiffany Hudson. (And this is a small town, so why hasn’t Nancy heard of this?).  But this makes Nick a suspect.

Bess says she’s living with a rich aunt, but we find out she’s sleeping in a camper van.

Apparently, George seems to be having an affair with Ryan (Mr. Hudson) and Ace snaps a picture of the two together and send it to the Chief of Police.

Nick finds something in Nancy’s mom’s old car (drugs?); which he’s preparing for Nancy.

Bess has Tiffany’s ring or what looks like the ring.  Also, it was mentioned she was caught shoplifting once.  I’m guessing there’s more to that story.

At the end of the episode, the power goes out at Nancy’s house and the stairs to the attic come down. There, behind some torn wallpaper, she finds a rhyme about Lucy.  She also sees a trunk that she saw her parents dug up in their backyard when she was a child.  Inside the trunk, is a bloody dress which seems to be Lucy’s. Behind Nancy a ghostly form appears.

You’re always telling me I should have more friends over.
