WIP Intro | Tails & The Jade Bridge

It's time: Tails is leaving to start his own adventure. He's going to miss his big brother, but it's time to see what he's capable of alone. And what better way to start than by investigating an anomaly in his cutting-edge research into interdimensional space? But though Tails is ready to take on the world, is he really ready to take on two?

Tails & The Jade Bridge is an indie fan comic/passion project about siblings, coming of age, and the limits of what one person can do on their own, loosely inspired by Sonic Frontiers, the 1996 OVA, the IDW comics, the Sonic Riders series, and everything else I love about StH!

Will be released on tumblr, one page at a time, as I finish them.

yellow heart, green heart, black heart? - from coffeewritesfiction

💛: what is the title based on?

The Tales of Merlia series' title is based on the ancient mermaid kingdom that fell from grace. The kingdom of Merlia was the first kingdom of merpeople, stemming back to ancient times. It was also the first kingdom to fall. But not the last. So, the tales of merpeople are the Tales of Merlia.

The Nimbus Saga is based on the concept of how air and water form clouds, and eventually storms together. Take into account the powers the MCs possess, it makes sense.

A Tale of Moonstone and Heather is the most simple out of the two. Moonstone and Heather are the nicknames Aster and Orion gave each other.

💚: how long have you been working on it?

Tales of Merlia started out as small series of stories I wrote in 2010. I no longer have the files for those stories, I was probably in fourth or fifth grade at the time and the computer I wrote it on is long gone. I didn't really start developing it into the series it is now until I believe in the summer of 2017 (I am really bad at timelines and have an awful memory. It is by far my oldest WIP.

The Nimbus Saga was developed during lockdown, in 2020. So...it's my youngest WIP for sure.

A Tale of Moonstone and Heather was created in the summer of 2019 I believe.

🖤: what are your MC names?

In Tales of Merlia, the main character is Delilah Mathers, and her two best friends, Merlin Windsplash and Pepper Whippertail. They are under the care of Torrent Lazulite Winters.

In the Nimbus Saga, the main character is Aither Thorin. He works under the Monarch of Candos, King Caspian the Kind.

There are three main characters in A Tale of Moonstone and Heather. Aster Isadore Laroux Whelan, Orion Bram Whelan, and Aria Melrose Leonard.

Just realized in dms with a friend that Hero is Back SWK/Dasheng wears bright red lipstick as part of his war paint.

This is the face of a man who 100% has teasingly kissed an opponent solely to leave a big obvious red lipstick mark on their face ala Bugs Bunny. Now his opponent gotta face his homies looking like he got caught in a makeup testing room.

I feel like he saves that particular move for special opponents.

Jade Emperor: "So, how did the fight go?" Erlang Shen, covered in red lipstick marks and blushing furiously: "I don't want to talk about it." Dasheng, lazing on his nimbus: (*waves teasingly as he reapplies war paint*)

[adashofniallandasprinkleoflunacy]

those tags… WHY MUST YOU HURT US ALL LIKE THAT?!?! I WAS FINE AND HAPPY TONIGHT BEFORE THAT!!! NOW IM SOBBING UNCONTROLLABLY

what about demonrry being able to feel the exact moment Nimbus and Onyx die because of their telepathic bond, and it causes him to stumble as they’re running away because he feels all their pain and hears their last words.

The scars on his chest feel like they’re being ripped into his body all over again as fresh wounds, but he chokes down a sob and forces himself back onto his feet, wiping at his drenched face desperately as a new wave of tears fights against the back of his eyes. His voice is a raw croak, tight with emotion. “We have to keep going.”

Y/N is by his side, her arm wrapping under his and around his torso, her enhanced strength supporting his weight securely. He probably would have crumbled to the ground again without her.

She hoists him steady, glancing behind them to make sure they’re not being followed. Her eyes reflect the light of a distant fire, which envelops the windows and balcony of their apartment several blocks down. The sound of sirens can be heard echoing from the street, their red and blue lights casting colors around the corner.

Y/N whips her gaze back down towards Harry, arguing in sheer disbelief at his decision. “Harry, we can’t just leave them—!”

“We can.” He states in a low mutter, his eyes flitting between black and their usual jade as he struggles to keep his composure. He screws them shut, a new flood of tears escaping in the process.

She watches them streak down his cheeks, which are blotchy and red in the dim lights of the street lamps. It’s as if his entire nervous system is being overwhelmed. As if he’s feeling too many things at once. As if he’s feeling more than just his own emotions at once…

The realization hits her like a knife to the chest, causing the blood in her veins to freeze over. She can’t control the strangled cry that emits from her collapsing chest.

“We can.” Harry reiterates with a firmer voice, but she can tell he’s barely keeping it together— it’s evident in the tremble running under his words.

She knows that the repetition of the phrase is his way of breaking the news, because he can’t find the heart to say it aloud directly— it’d feel too real. It’s his way of begging her not to push the subject further, or he might completely shatter. They don’t have the luxury of time on their side; they can’t mourn properly right now, given the circumstances. The best she can do is simply oblige and push forward.

Harry had made a plan for this years ago and had walked his girlfriend through it many times. She always joked about how paranoid he was, but as much as he hated dwelling on it, he had a looming suspicion it would come in handy one day.

He’d built a safe house of sorts in a secluded area, which took after their regular apartment and included an arsenal of supplies that could wait out an apocalypse. He’d guarded it with warding against both angels and demons, courtesy of a spell made of his own devising. He’d cloaked and concealed it with magic, as an extra layer of protection. They just had to make it to the portal he’d created in the city.

Harry had the power to summon and close it whenever, so he’d willed it into existence the second he sensed what was coming. He’d opened it far enough from their flat to avoid detection, but close enough to reach during an emergency. The route obviously takes longer on foot, but it’s not impossible. If he or Y/N were to use their magic in any way, they’d be tracked down in seconds. His car and motorcycle are easy targets to follow. It’s stealthier this way, especially at night when they can camouflage into the shadows.

Once they arrive, he can seal the shelter from the inside by completing the last line of spell glyphs with his blood, right across the entrance door that’s identical to the one in their real home. The place should hold them for a while.

“Make this worth it.”

Onyx and Nimbus’ last message rings inside Harry’s head, incapacitating his senses and giving him vertigo as he charges forward blindly, confiding in Y/N to guide them to their destination.

He’d heard their final words right before he felt their life forces be torn from his own; the bond of a hellhound to a demon, being severed permanently by what can only be one thing. The only way to cut such a profound tie.

Death's unique type of pain was also familiar to him, from his first interaction with it seven centuries ago. First it’s sharp and searing hot, overwhelming your whole being, then it drops to an invasive numb cold, like being boiled and then plunged into ice water. Then comes a feathery, lightheaded ache at the base of the skull, as if your very soul is detaching from where your mind is anchored to your body, and then it feels like you’re floating away, being carried off by a swift draft. Then nothing. Just a vast emptiness, so hollow and desolate it’s suffocating.

From his experience, he’s found no other form of pain that could possibly feel that deep and condemning. The sensation is one of kind, and therefore undeniable.

He lurches forward with newfound energy, gritting his teeth through the pounding in his head, tapping into his grief for fuel. He won’t let their sacrifice be in vain.

Sun Wukong Inspired Character

This character comes from the sonic universe comics. In the accurately named “Journey to the East”

Name: Monkey Khan

"He is a Mobian Chinese Monkey."

He lived in a village of pacifists his original name was Ken Khan. he wears a power ring headband meant to look like the fighting band of JTTW. He wields a powerful staff and rides on a cloud which sounds just like another monkey we know.

He once had a boisterous nature and did not fit in with his pacifist village. He had a father Lord Lau Khan. He survived roboticization because of this he was sealed in a metal crate. He was then released by Sally Acorn.

Similar to Monkey King being sealed under the Five Faces mountain. When he became robotized he gained red glowing eyes like when Wukong came out of the furnace.

Abilities: Enhanced Strength, Enhanced durability, enhanced speed, lighting bolt direction, nimbus summoning, martial arts, staff fighting.

He has some burst of villance and anger. He has trouble controlling himself. With little care id he scored or hurt others.

He, Sonic, Tails, and Sally go on the journey to gather enough forces to go against the Iron Queen and King which are similar to Iron Fan and Bull King.

Iron Queen:

She is meant to represent Iron Fan as the antagonist. But she is different of course from the original as in there is no love between her and Bull King and she has an affair with Snivley.

But there are simularlities.

"The Iron Queen set Mount Stormtop on fire for over a hundred days and would not lift the spell until the villagers agreed to bow down to them. Sonic and Tails were told by Li Yuen that only the magical Fan of Fen Xing could blow out the flames on the mountain."

This is similar to the Firey Mountains story of JTTW except she made the fire.

Iron King:

A mobian ox who has an affinity for collecting weapons. He was completely, unaware of his wife's plans to cut him out of the picture and rule alongside her new love, Snively. Which I feel like this might be a reverse of JTTW's event of Bull King and Jade Face.

Extra Notes:

His name Ken Khan is meant to reference King Kong.

Sally During the Journey acted like Triptiak keeping Khan calm and being his conscious. But that is where the similarities end because the two became an item.

This is an old character design of him where there is more Wukong reference.

My favorite Comic Dub of this monkey.

Thank you for reading and enjoying :)

SWK DAD AU

Chapter one: The Mystery Criminal

It was another peaceful day on Flower Fruit Mountain, the monkeys swung from tree to tree, the sound of the waterfall rushing down, the coo and chips of the monkeys, echoing around the mountain forest, sun wukong is resting with his fellow monkeys, the little monkies resting on his chest, some clinging on his arm, resting on his shoulder all curly up,wukong hands behind his head, his eyes closed, enjoying the sunlight warmth in early morning sun, in his wonderful kingdom.

Until one of his monkey troops chips

"Look, it nezha! my king."

wukong his opens eyes and their was Nezha flying over to Wukong,nezha landed near Wukong, where the great monkey king rested, surrounded by his subjects, little ones, elder ones alike.

he speaks firmly "The jade emperor wants to talk, you have been requested to go to heaven for your crimes against heaven."

wukong never felt so insulted. How could Nezha say that! was the journey to the West for nothing!?, he felt offended by those words, he then got up and took off the monkeys on his body, and placed them on the ground, some stayed on Wukong shoulder.

he replied in a firm angry tone

"You dare say such a thing! That was eons ago. Have I not been forgiven for my crimes by Buddha himself!" he scoffed, he crossed his arms in displeasure, he wanted to know why the heavenly court accused him of such a thing, it wouldn't have been him, he had been staying with his subjects on flower fruit mountain, doing his kingly duties, taking care of his little ones, he has not done such a crimes since his youth.

Wukong continues before Nezha can utter a word "What crimes have I committed? since I have been accused by the heavenly court?, for I have been taking care of my kingdom and haven't laid a foot down on the heavenly Plane for Thousands of years" he then put his hands on his hips, he frowns at nezha wanting answers Immediately.

Nezha replied that the firm as a warrior spoke, Listing the crimes that the heavens thought the great sage had done, pulled out a stroll, and underrolled it. " 1. stealing from the heavenly armory

2. Stealing the book of life and death from the underworld

3. Stealing half the Immortal peaches from the heavenly garden

4. stealing heavenly wine

5. Immortal Elixir"

The great sage was more offended than before! he hasn't done any of those crimes!what proof did they have to incriminate him!, he became enraged by this, wukong reply voice thundering across the mountain "What evidence do you have against Me!, look through my house if you suspect me of such crimes!for I am not the one that it!"

Nezha replied, "We know what you are capable of simian, and your impulsive nature has led you to do rasher things in the past.” The Lotus Prince draws his weapon. “It’ll be better for all of us if you surrendered and followed. If you’re right, the Jade Emperor will clear you of these crimes, and we’ll find the true culprit.”

Sun Wukong signed and grumbled to himself, he pitched his nose in frustration, he put his hands up, he replied "Fine, fine, I will follow and surrender" The monkey king somersault, summoned his Nimbus cloud.

after saying goodbye to his fellow monkeys,the little ones and the elders we're sad about his leaving.

he fellow Nezha to the gates of heaven, as they approached the gate

Nezha called out loudly "Guardians of Heaven gate, lieutenant great and small, I have been assigned to take sun wukong in for his crimes against Heaven, I have been summoned by the imperial decree of the jade emperor"

The deva raja virudhaka and the various divine heroes immediately lowered their weapons and stepped aside,

Both Nezha and Wukong enter through the gates, going to the treasure hall of the divine mists.

Nezha and Wukong enter,nezha announced their present, "I nezha the thired lotus prince,have bring sun wukong, the great sage,equal to heaven,to your majesty,at you're command"

The jabe emperor glare at wukong with disdain,as he sat on his throne,in cloudy mist around it,Jade Emperor show him seated in imperial robes, embroidery featuring dragons,with strings of pearls from his crown.

wukong bow to the jabe emperor, the Jade Emperor speaks in a Firm,just tone,as he put his hand up "wukong,i have called you here,because of the crimes you have committed against heaven" and continues "Nezha has already told you"

Wukong reply "I know but it wasn't me,how could you accessed of such crimes without Evidence of me doing so?"

The jabe emperor glare at wukong,he risen one eyebrow,his arms on the side of his throne,he replied "we know what you're capable of sun wukong" he keep speaking "remember havco in heaven,the many crimes you did before"

Wukong reply in frustration "I know,you're highness,that was aeons ago,I haven't I proved that I am not that person anymore by Completing my journey to the west,with my old champions to get the holy scripture to India"

Jabe emperor signed,he put his hand on his forehead,he pitched his nose,he replied "you may have prove that you changed to Buddha but not to me,I will tell you are evidence,the kings of the underworld saw a monkey in the underworld,causing trouble about it,that monkey found the book of life an death and taken it,that monkey has the same fur color as you,then the monkey come to heaven and stole the Immortal peaches and wine,right under our noses" he moved his hand from his forehead to his throne side,it resting back on the throne chair side,he glanced at wukong with sense of anger,annoyance and disdain.

“The same fur as me? Is that all you have as ‘evidence’” finger-quoting as he remarked, “so youve assume it was me then?,let me investigate this that way we can find the real culprit."

He leaned forward unimpressed with the ccourt.

The jade emperor replied, “you will investigate on one condition, nezha will accompany you. We don’t want trouble.”

Wukong and Nezha when to investigate in heaven....to be Continued

[air-of-the-waterfall]

People in AOAS will literally call Nimbus agents anything but Nimbus agents, huh? "Nims," "Nimbos," "Thunderrhoids." It gets progressively worse. Everyone knows their profession is a joke. Can you even blame them for being jaded and snarky?

[storyspinner91]

A (late) snippet from The Flawless Five, Vol. 1 Issue 5: Franjean's Freedom Fighters! Dropping tomorrow (I sure hope)!

Just as the three of them turn to look, there's a *K-THOOM* from the closet. A burst of blue energy throws the door open and sends Kit sailing out into the room. She crashes onto the carpet and tumbles over to land next to the group. All three of them startle back as Kit groans and some of the bystanders scream and back away. Graydon's eyes widen in delight. "Hey, it's Kit! Hi Kit!! You came out of the closet," he babbles. Airk opens his mouth, considers. Closes it again. "Too easy," he mutters. "I'm in hell," Kit groans. She pulls herself up onto her elbows. "We got a problem." "What?" Jade asks. Kit points toward the closet. "Her." The others look up and their eyes widen. Elora floats in the closet door. The strange, mind-warped teens gather behind her, grinning unnervingly. Several of the students who aren't under Dr. Lobo's spell are backing away hurriedly. Elora slowly raises one hand like a claw, gathering a fistful of energy and surrounding herself in a nimbus of blazing azure energy. "Oh man, she's so cool," Graydon says fervently.

name: Sun Wukong age: Ageless immortal (1000+) pronouns: he/him series: lego monkie kid COUGH COUGH i mean journey to the west ofc canon point: post season 5 app triggers: monkey business

personality: (spongebob audio clip) OH BROTHER THIS GUY SUCKS.

Cheeky sarcastic monkey who loves a bit of monkey mischief. he is LAZY and a BUM- outwardly at least. he’s worked beyond hard for everything he’s accomplished, and continues to use his strength as it’s needed. he regrets many many many past life choices, but you know. He’s trying to do better. His self-confidence is as endless as his power is because if you can believe it, you can achieve it!!!!!!!!

something your muse struggles with: THE GREAT SAGE EQUAL TO HEAVEN HAS NO WEAKNESSES except maybe stage fright. your

muse’s greatest strength: physical strength. the blueprint for every op shonen character in history. his talent in senjutsu and combat is endless.

history / background: long long ago on the mountain of fruit and flowers, a monkey burst from a small stone, born of no family. for years, all monkey did was play with his fellow monkeys and live merrily, becoming the monkey king of the mountain.

but one day a horrible existential dread beset monkey, and he burst into tears, for fear of the day he would eventually die. so he became obsessed with learning the secrets of immortality. leaving his subjects behind, he traveled to the human world to find someone who could teach him. He found one (who gave him his name: Sun Wukong), he learned the 72 transformations, and then he got kicked out and left in tears with his sad little bindle back to his home.

then he started beating the shit out of everyone, gaining his famous staff and other artifacts, until everyone got so mad at this stupid monkey stealing their shit, that they told on him to the jade emperor of the celestial realm. as a measure to be able to watch Wukong and keep him out of trouble, he’s invited to live in the celestial realm and placed to work in the stables of the palace. Wukong was sooooo happy to finally be recognized for his might, until he learned that sweeping up after horses is a terribly lowly job. he gets so pissed off at the humiliation of it, that he starts beating everyone up again. he eats some heavenly peaches. he has the audacity to call himself the great sage equal to heaven and demands the Jade Emperor acknowledge it too. And then he beats up everyone the emperor sends after his ass. And you know what he sure as fuck tried to overthrow the jade emperor too, who then has the buddha trap him under a mountain 500 years repent you stupid monkey.

Lalala here comes a monk on a journey to the west (GASP) he frees Wukong in exchange for servitude. Wukong learns friendship and how to be humble or whatever. Classic hero’s journey shit. He reaches Nirvana and becomes the Buddha of Virtuous Fighting. Hundereds of years later he’s training (badly) some kid to become his successor #RETIRED

Pairing: Regulus Black x female!OC

Word count: 1.5k

Warnings: violence, angst, very brief mention of vomit

Note: I’ve always had this headcanon that after joining the Death Eaters, Regulus had someone to teach/practice with legilimency and occlumency. So here’s my spin on that with a return of Miss Iris! Let me know what you think!

Streams of garnet and emerald dart past one another. Faint cheers from the packed stands—Go, go, Gryffindor! Slytherin, Slytherin for the win! Sirius Black comes into view, guarding one of the circular goalposts. He’s yelling to a chaser.

Evan Rosier flyin past one of the snakes, who throws him a bludger. Rosier catches the ball and sends it hurtling towards Sirius. The bludger strikes Sirius’ side with a thwack, knocking him off balance. The Gryffindor recovers, eyes darting around to see who threw that damned ball, but Evan directs a Ventus his way, sending a strong stream of wind at his right side and throwing the boy off his Nimbus 1500 into the very thin air below. Across the pitch, Regulus Black and his fellow Slytherin teammates watch as a wizard falls through the air toward the very hard ground. He sees the unguarded goalpost opposite him. Regulus’ face drops, Siri. He takes off toward his older brother. So what if he saved the bloodtraitor, he’d face Evan’s wrath later—

           “Salazar!” Iris jumps, shaken from her vision. Her cat, Jed, steps over the witch’s bent leg and casually lays down between her and Regulus on the quilted leather sofa.

           “It’s Regulus, actually,” the wizard remarks.

Iris scoffs.

Moonlight shines down into the Black Lake, making the Slytherin common room appear more like the sea than the emerald-green dungeon that it is. A faint rumble of thunder startles a merperson that had stopped momentarily, watching the witch and wizard go at their mind games.

           “Alright, let’s try this again. We’ve got an audience now and everything…” Iris looks down at Jed. Regulus smiles at the cat warmly, passing his fingertips through her bluish-grey fur as he scratches the top of her head. His jade eyes meet the waiting girl. “Relax,” Iris tells the wizard. Regulus rolls back his shoulders closes his eyes as he takes a deep breath. As soon as he reopens them, Iris is back inside his head. She butts up against a set of memories, trying to read them, read him, but is only met with further resistance from the boy opposite her. She tries again. Nothing. Onto the next memory. Another block.

This continues for a few moments until a dark, inscrutable scene comes into view for Iris. The vision sharpens, revealing central London. It’s late. There’s no one on the streets save Evan Rosier, Barty Crouch, Jr. and Rabastan Lestrange circled together, wands already at work. 

Oh wait. She’d recognize that tall, lanky build and head of long, raven hair anywhere. Regulus stood about a pace back from the three Death Eaters. In front of him, at the middle of the circle lies a muggle couple, crying and screaming as the red sparks of the Cruciatus curse run from the dark wizards’ wands to them. Breaking bones. Burning flesh. Twisting, snapping veins. 

           “That’s the last time you’ll speak to me like that! Muggles…” Evan says, disgusted. Evan looks over to Regulus. “You’re missing out on all the fun, Reg.” Regulus stays silent, joining the three in the circle. He watches as Evan casts an “Imperio,” on the man, forcing him to undress himself. The bleeding, sobbing, sweating man now stands bare before them. Evan places his hand on Regulus’ shoulder. “Go on.” Evan licks his lips. “They deserve it.” 

           Regulus’s cold demeanor slips slightly, but he recovers quickly, not even raising his wand before shouting “Crucio!” The Muggle man screams in agony as the spell’s red sparks wrap around him like barbed wire, lifting him off of the ground. His eyes roll back as he falls to the ground in convulsions. The screaming woman looks on as her partner gurgles and thrashes and howls. The terrorized Muggle woman looks back at the four wizards whose eyes are bereft of all but crazed contempt. “Please!” She chokes out.

           “Might as well finish him off,” Barty chides. They all watch Rabastan raises his wand as the “Avada…” leaves his mouth.

The scenes blurs and fades to white. Iris almost stops, but swiftly shoves aside her thoughts. Stay focused. Regulus’ mind is like a library. The Bodleian to be exact. Shelves, tall shelves and endless stacks of memories. Most of them appearing like a book with a blank cover and empty pages. Damn, he’s gotten good at this. Iris goes to a new stack located way back in his library, the Restricted Section. Just let it flow. Iris strains, eyes burning into the wizard seated across from her. She shuts her eyes, eyebrows furrowing.

           “Stop straining,” Regulus instructs.

           “Don’t, Black…I was born doing this.”

           “Then prove it.”

Iris reopens her eyes, still trying to breach the mental wall. She can’t read it. In fact, it hurts quite a bit. Regulus doesn’t let up. A sharp, biting pain wraps around her skull with every attempt to break through his wards. Iris pulls backwards with a gasp.

           “Agh, Merlin!” Jed leaps out of the witch’s lap. Iris rubs her forehead, trying to soothe the pain. “Okay, I’m done for the day. Congrats, Reg, I think that you’ve got to be one of the best Occlumens I’ve ever met.” Regulus smirks. “Oh, don’t be all smug now!” She hits his arm.

           “Hey! Enough with the abuse, woman. You’ve already gone through my mind, quite literally. Or tried to…”

           “You’ve outsmarted the mistress, it seems.”

Regulus chuckles.

           “We can’t all be natural Legilimens, love.”

She doesn’t say anything. Instead, she just studies him. She’s back in the library.

           “Stop reading my mind.”

           “You put your guard down when you laugh.”

           “I don’t believe trying not to laugh will be much of an issue in front of him.

Iris lets out an amused humph.

           “Why the hell are we joking about this?” Regulus straightens. The couple sit in silence for a moment before Iris turns to the wizard.

           “Will you tell me?”

           “Why we’re joking?”

           “Reg.”

           “How am I supposed to keep it off-limits if I tell you?”

           “Oh, don’t play dumb with me! You wouldn’t have let me see Sirius falling during that match—”

           “Pushed. He was pushed!”

Iris looks at him impatiently.

           “What about Evan and Barty and Lestrange torturing and killing those Muggles? And you!” Her voice breaks.

           “No! No. Rabastan killed them.”

           “Like it matters! Who fired off one of the many Crucios that night?”

           “You’re not innocent in all this either!”

           “Has he made you kill anyone yet?”

It’s Regulus’ turn to frown, he doesn’t even attempt to meet her gaze.

           “Torturing that couple was, what? Last week?”

           “Enough!” he shouts.

           “Why them, huh? What are you locking all the way back in your head?”

           “They’re not worth it,” he mumbles almost inaudibly.          

           “What?”

           “They’re not worth it, Iris!”

She shudders slightly. Thunder reverberates above them.

           “Not Barty. Not Evan. And most certainly not bloody Lestrange!” His voice booms off of the stone walls. “You don’t know what it’s like...having this mark…this stamp of evil.” Regulus pulls up the sleeve of his jumper, revealing the serpent’s head of the dark mark. The raven ink wisps into the surrounding pale skin of his arm. “You don’t know what it’s like. Being right next to him. ‘A promising young man,’ that’s what he called me last.” Regulus’ expression darkens. He swallows. “Every time I step into that godsforsaken manor I want to vomit. The darkness and the…malevolence. It-it’s in the air.” His eyes glisten. “Sometimes I feel like I can’t fucking breathe. It’s like being paralyzed…when he stares at me—gazes into my soul. He crushes you, Iris! He will ruin you!”

Regulus is inches from the witch, shaking her by her shoulders. Tears roll down his flushed face. He’s trembling. Iris’s eyes dampen. Regulus gets up from his spot on the sofa, wandering over to one of the common room’s towering windows. Ripples of light bounce off the lake water onto his sullen face. He watches a trio of fish swim by and imagines being underwater, just like them. Enveloped in silence. Safe.

Iris sits still for a moment, shaken, before following him. At the window, she stands to his left, looking at the boy lost in the lake.

           “Look, Regulus…” He doesn’t shift his gaze. Iris sighs.

           “I’m sorry. I…um…you’re right. I don’t know exactly what this is all like.” She pauses, wondering if she should continue.

           “But we started this for a reason—”

           “You think I don’t know that?”

           “You and me. One and two. You read me and I read you.” Regulus’ eyes slowly move away from the window.

           “Even You Know Who can’t change that.” Iris reaches for his hand and brings it to her lips.

           “I just want to keep you safe.” He frowns again.

           “I know.”

           “No, Iris…there’s just so much more.”

           “I’m a big girl. And a pretty damn powerful witch.” The beginnings of a grin grace his face for a moment. He shakes his head, mind wandering to the locket hidden away in his dorm.

           “Shall we give it another go?” Regulus is lost in his head. The little prince burdened with inglorious purpose. Iris waves her hand in front of his face. “Reggie? Regulus!” He snaps out of his trance, focusing on the witch in front of him.

           “Once more and then we’ll give it a rest?” Iris searches his face. Regulus nods. There is no rest in sight, darling. Not if the Dark Lord can help it.

365 DC Comics Paper Cut-Out SuperHeroes - One Hero, Every Day, All Year…

December 28th - Star Man / Jack Knight

Jack is the younger son of Ted Knight, the Golden Age superhero known as Starman. In his childhood, Jack idolized his father and was fascinated by his heroism; yet he later grew more rebellious and jaded.  He ultimately comes to see the antics of superheroes with a degree of disdain, looking at them as grown men running around playing dress-up.  

In his adulthood, Jack parlays his love of collectables into a mildly lucrative career as the owner and operator of an antiques parlor.  Jack’s older brother, David, meanwhile never lost his admiration for superheroes and was quite eager to take on their father’s mantle as the new Starman.  Sadly, David was killed during his first outing as Starman, murdered by the son of Ted Knight’s old nemesis, The Mist.

This led to Jack reluctantly using his father’s cosmic star rod to track down the Mist so to avenge his brother and protect himself and his father.  

Although he refused to wear a costume, Jack ended up proving a highly capable superhero.  The cosmic star rod enabled him flight and the capacity to fire energy blasts.  The son of The Mist perished in battle against Jack and it appeared as though The Mist himself had also died.  

Jack would go on to have numerous adventures, becoming the reluctant protector of Opal City.  Later he helped to form the contemporary iteration of The Justice Society, serving as this new Society’s Starman.   During this time, Jack developed a friendship with the former super villain known as The Shade; he also entered into a romantic relationship with a young woman named Sadie. 

Meanwhile. Jack was secretly hunted by Nash Nimbus, the daughter of The Mist.  Nash drugged and sexually assaulted Jack, ultimately becoming pregnant with their child.  She gave birth to a son whom she named Kyle.  Nash revealed Kyle’s existence to Jack, vowed to gain the ultimate revenge on Jack by molding Kyle into a villain even more devious and cruel than her father.  

When the original Mist returned and threatened to destroy all of Opal City, Nash turned against him so to save her son’s life.  Both Nash and her father perished in the ensuing conflict and Kyle was left in Jack’s care.  Jack has since retired from super heroics to focus on raising his son along with his fiancé, Sadie.  He passed along the cosmic star rod to Courtney Whitmore who has since used it as the young heroine Stargirl.  

Jack Knight first appeared in the pages of Zero Hour #1 (1994).
