Happy Birthday to my main man Jason Todd!! 🥳🎊🎉

Our lovely Lady Vapira who will some day make an appearance in my comic...

STRIKE Issue #1

*Panel shows a riot of civilians in front of the city hall. SPECTRE is not yet a hero.*

SPECTRE: Please everyone!

Calm down please!

CIVILIAN ONE: We don't want to be saved by your vigilantes!

CIVILIAN TWO: Are we training our children to send them to their deaths and call them heroes?! That's just wrong!

SPECTRE: Please calm down!

Our cities heroes are only trying to help you!

CIVILIAN THREE: We don't want their help!

CIVILIAN FOUR: They're just freaks the government's using as soldiers!

*OBSIDIAN makes their way through the crowd and to a place everyone can see them.*

OBSIDIAN: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

CIVILIAN TWO: Oh dear god!

CIVILIAN FOUR: A villain!

OBSIDIAN: Now I would recommend that you all skedaddle. I have some business I need to attend to.

*The crowd all fearfully run away.*

Now we wait for The Actor.

MEANWHILE

*CREAMPUFF, who is not yet CREAMPUFF is heading towards her dance class when she sees THE ACTOR in civvies being suspiciously in a rush.*

CREAMPUFF: Hey Mars!

Where are you off too...?

*THE ACTOR doesn't notice CREAMPUFF and keeps running, CREAMPUFF, suspicious, follows unseen. THE ACTOR runs to the city hall and changes into their uniform before entering.*

THE ACTOR: Obsidian.

OBSIDIAN: Ah, you made it, hero!

I was starting to think you wouldn't show up.

THE ACTOR: Well of course I would show up.

I'm the one who needed to talk to you.

See STRIKE #0

OBSIDIAN: Oh yes, I remember.

Now, what was it that you wanted to discuss?

*CREAMPUFF catches up to THE ACTOR and hides behind a door and watches everything.*

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Wait...

Thats The Actor and...

...Obsidian?

Where did Mars go?

THE ACTOR: You'll actually be surprised.

OBSIDIAN: Oh?

THE ACTOR: I want to recruit you. To reform you.

OBSIDIAN: Recruit me? Reform me?

THE ACTOR: Yes.

OBSIDIAN: Now, why would you even want to do that? Hm? Do you think I can really be trusted?

Hero, I'm the bad guy, in case you forgot.

THE ACTOR: Listen, Guy has gone missing.

I didn't have much connection with him after his retirement but I know he wasn't the most social person.

During his hero days you were who we fought against the most.

I don't know...

...I thought you would know something about him or where he might go after studying him for so long.

*Panel shows shock on both OBSIDIAN and CREAMPUFFs faces.*

OBSIDIAN: My...

CREAMPUFF: *Whispering, to self* Guy...is...gone...?

OBSIDIAN: Well...

...That is certainly some interesting news.

THE ACTOR: So...

...What do ya say?

OBSIDIAN: I don't think the public will be very happy if I were to play hero.

THE ACTOR: If you help me with a missing persons case as big as this I'll see what i can do about getting you pardoned.

OBSIDIAN: I doubt you'll do that.

You don't even trust me, do you?

THE ACTOR: I do trust you.

OBSIDIAN: Then prove it.

THE ACTOR: How about I make you a deal?

If you join me, I'll tell you who's behind the mask.

*OBSIDIAN smiles.*

OBSIDIAN: Alright, hero.

You've got yourself a deal.

*THE ACTOR and OBSIDIAN shake hands to seal the deal.*

OBSIDIAN: So now tell me, who are you?

*THE ACTOR slowly takes off their mask*

CREAMPUFF: *Gasp. Whispering, to self.* Oh my god...

The Actor is...

THE ACTOR: My name is...

CREAMPUFF AND THE ACTOR: Mars!

*CREAMPUFF was a little to loud and was heard by THE ACTOR catching their attention. THE ACTOR suddenly looks toward the door, CREAMPUFF covers her mouth in fear.*

THE ACTOR: I'm sorry, I thought I heard something.

OBSIDIAN: *In awe* ...Your beautiful.

THE ACTOR: Hm?

*THE ACTOR quickly turns back to face OBSIDIAN who is slowly reaching their arm towards THE ACTOR who takes a large step back.*

OBSIDIAN: I thought you trusted me.

*THE ACTOR leans forwards to show trust and OBSIDIAN tucks a few strands of hair behind THE ACTORs ears, holding their face.*

OBSIDIAN: Heh, I didn't know you had freckles...

...They're cute.

*THE ACTOR smiles. OBSIDIAN takes off their own mask and leans in for a kiss. THE ACTOR pulls away.*

THE ACTOR: Well, um uh. Good to know your on the team...

...I've got a uh, few more people to talk to so um I'll stay in touch...

*THE ACTOR puts both of their masks back on to hide the fact that they are currently a blushing mess as they head toward to window and pull out a grappling hook.*

OBSIDIAN: But...

THE ACTOR: Good bye!

*THE ACTOR grapples away. OBSIDIAN throws their mask down and sit on the windowsill.*

OBSIDIAN: Stupid!

Ugh! what is wrong with you that was a stupid move!

*CREAMPUFF looks back at her dance bag and thinks hard while staring at a dark blue crop top with a heart logo.*

LATER

*Panels show THE ACTOR arrive at a cabin house on the outskirts of town and an apartment door, both residents answer.*

THE ACTOR: Hello...

...V.

...Bug.

I am putting together a team to search for a missing persons and I am well aware of your abilities.

BLURRY FACE: My abilities? I-I don't know what your talking about...

...You must have the wrong person.

SPECTRE: Missing? Who's gone missing?

THE ACTOR: V, I am well aware that you have been following Guy and I for the past few years.

I know very well about the powers of your incense and crystals as well.

Guy has gone missing, I need your expertise to help find him.

SPECTRE: I'm not so sure if I'm the right person for this, don't get me wrong I would love to help but...

There is nothing special about me.

BLURRY FACE: And all this time I thought I was being sneaky.

Ok, I'll help!

THE ACTOR: Nonsense. I've heard about how you can calm a crowd and that you are incredibly handy with a computer.

We could use a tech expert on our team.

SPECTRE: Wow, thats really an honor...

...I would love to join you! Thank you so much for this opportunity!

THE ACTOR: Perfect!

*THE ACTOR hands them both a card.*

THE ACTOR: Meet me at this address on saturday next week at exactly 4:45.

Don't be late.

BLURRY FACE: Will do!

SPECTRE: Thank you! I'll be there!

LATER

*OBSIDIAN is stopped in an alleyway by CREAMPUFF in a makeshift uniform made from her dance clothes.*

OBSIDIAN: And who might you be?

CREAMPUFF: I'm no one.

But...

*CREAMPUFF threatenly leans in toward OBSIDIAN.*

CREAMPUFF: If you dare hurt Mars.

I'll kill you.

*OBSIDIAN nonchalantly pushes CREAMPUFF back with one hand.*

OBSIDIAN: Calm down, creampuff.

You got nothing to worry about.

*OBSIDIAN walks away.*

CREAMPUFF: Sure.

But I'll be watching.

Here is my current DnD character too, Valentine, at some point I'll draw a pride piece for my asexual bard.
