These are my stories about what happened after James Jesse, The Trickster, was murdered.
OF COURSE he didn't stay dead! Too much to do! And he had to go back to Life and find Hartley Rathaway, The Pied Piper... because James had fallen for him.
Now, something like that, something that makes The Trickster fall..... that's something REALLY SCARY AND POWERFUL. But sometimes when anybody with a scrap of sense would run away...... well, nope, not The Trickster. Sometimes he's just gotta go find out MORE....
So James returned to Life and found the Piper and told him that he'd fallen for him.
And (Thank God!) Hartley caught him.
And now they're stuck with each other. Again. And this time they're gonna make it go RIGHT.
Right-?
Welcome to the aftermath of a long, strange trip from weird childhoods... to youthful mis/adventures in Supervillainy... to taking stabs at maturity and heroism... to dealings with Cosmic Entities... to stifling stints with the FBI... and terrified flight from the FBI and the rest of America and the rest of the World, being hunted down like rabid dogs for the murder of The Flash, which they DIDN'T commit, that they COULDN'T STOP.....
Welcome to this place beyond the fear and the pain and the blood and the tears... where two weary, skinny, plucky fiftysomething Reformed Supervillains finally have a little time to rest awhile... and to begin to see each other clearly, and find out who they really are.....
