The Boy Named Sue
Rating: T
Characters: Middleman, Wendy Watson
Disclaimer: I do not under any circumstances own the rights to these characters or the fab show or comic and I'm not getting paid.
Summary: Johnny Cash and the Middleman
Spoilers: Refers to some information in the Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse
Author's Note: I'm still working on a longer fic, but had this fun song-themed drabble which came up while I was working on it. Edit: I put in an extra generation for the name, then took it out when I realized she could still make the comment I wanted and stay closer to canon, also. Takes place (or will take place) after Doomsday Armageddon Apocalypse.
Song: Boy Named Sue (Johnny Cash)
Location: The Middlemobile. Always 3 miles below the speed limit. Couples Time.
"Clarence."
"What, Dubbie?"
"I was just thinking out loud. Colton's okay, but - Clarence? Just warning you, I am so not yelling, 'Harder, harder, Clarence.' Ever."
"But you do call on the Almighty quite frequently, I have noticed. When you're coherent."
"Har. Seriously, how much did your parents hate you?"
"I told you I was named for my father."
"Multi-generational name torture. Kinky. Any kids at school ever try to beat you up because of your name?"
"One doesn't get to be a CO-punching hothead without practice. But nobody tried twice."
"So, you were like the boy named Sue, huh?"
"Johnny Cash was a man of many truths as well as talents, Dubbie. Speaking of which, pass me that CD."
"Oh, [bleep]."
