Reckoning and Rebirth

Aug 15, 2008 16:30

Undoing his tie, Zach grumbled to himself as he stomped towards his dressing room. "'Greatest magician you've never heard of'... how dare that crowd-warming buffoon..." He was seething over the intro that he'd been given for his act tonight.

He didn't want to be here. Some nothing down in the midwest. Zanna had told him time and again 'take whatever ( Read more... )

It looked like Zach had noticed Eddie. Eddie opened the door and gave a sheepish smile to his friend.

Eddie Bloomberg had met Zachary Zatara a while back while his Aunt Marla was filming a new movie, and they hired someone from the Zatara family to help with the special effects. That was around the time that Eddie had quit being Blue Devil's sidekick, Kid Devil, and his life went back to normal.

Then Aunt Marla died. It was a big blow to Eddie. She was always there for him, not like his mother and father. Eddie tried to make it in show business like she did, but he always failed miserably. He tried to become a superhero again, but no one can take 'former sidekick to Blue Devil' seriously. It seemed like it was all over for Eddie, that is, until just a few days ago.

"Hey Zach, what's up? Can you spare yourself for a minute.?"

Zach raised an eyebrow. Eddie.

...well, there were worse people it could be. At least it wasn't Zanna, come to poke at him over the dive he was performing in.

He tossed his tie and hat on the hat-stand and managed a lopsided smile for his friend. "What brings you here?"

Eddie breathed an internal sigh of relief. He usually got thrown out when he got this far.

"Well, I needed a little help. I know your family is magic..." Eddie fished around through his hoodie pocket. "So I was wondering if you could tell me what this thing is." Eddie pulled out a red stick from his pocket, with a bit of string sticking from the top and demonic symbols carved into its sides.

"Some weirdo gave it to me while I was, uh, visiting Metropolis." He didn't want to mention that he was homeless at the time.

Zachary's eyebrow twitched as Eddie reminded him of how well his uncle and cousin had done for themselves, but took the item. He turned it over in his hands a few times, examining the markings with scrutiny.

"I don't want to know what parts of Metropolis you were poking around to find someone carrying this Eddie... but it's definitely a demon-blood candle."
