Summary: Eddie's twenty now.
Zachary Zatara crept silently into the burned out church and tried not to shiver. He wasn’t going to show fear, not in the face of this. He wasn’t afraid of Eddie.
He was, however, sorry that he hadn’t bee there for his friend’s twentieth birthday. Maybe, if he’d been there, Eddie wouldn’t be lurking in a deconsecrated church.
Unless he’d moved on during the time Zatara had spent arguing with the Titans to let him try and reason with Eddie.
The scorching hot hands that closed around Zatara’s throat and over his mouth told him otherwise.
“Hiya, Zat,” Eddie hissed in his ear, his tongue flicking out to trace the cartilage. “Surprised to see you here.” Zatara tried to speak, but the hand on his mouth clamped tighter. “Nuh-uh. Not a word, Zat.”
Eddie’s tail wrapped around Zatara’s waist, pulling him flush against the demonic man’s body. “Why’d you come here? Did you think you could save me? I’m damned by my own hand, and my own choices. And I’m so fucking tired of living by that hypocrite’s rules. No more. I’m done being nice.” He spat the word out like it tasted bad.
“Nobody can save me, Zat. Can you save yourself?”
