Creeper the mechanic

"Darry."

"Yeah?"

Darrius asked as he was sitting out on the porch swing, cradling his daughter in his arms as she was asleep. Her webbed face was buried into his chest while her tiny wings were spread out all relaxed.

The Creeper and Darry had been staying with Trish on her former farm, until they could move into a new lair. Trisha sat down next to him and gazed down at her little niece, smiling softly as she stroked her hair. 

"Your um, your…" She still couldn't bring herself to say it, not after all the trauma she had been through. "Your partner is in the barn fixing up the car, you know the…" Trish sighed as she leaned her head against Darry's shoulder and watched the child below yawn. If only she was brave enough to confront it all. Darrius wrapped his arm around her and pressed his lips against his sister's forehead. "You're still a huge brat." 

Darry rolled his eyes before his attention was turned towards the Creeper, suddenly standing right before them with a grin on his face and covered in grease and motor oil. "Y'all, I fixed up that old thing and made it all right again. Just need to spit shine it tho, anyone willin' to offer up a good, juicy tongue for it?"

He darkly chuckled, unaware of it making Trish deeply uncomfortable as flash backs went off in her head. Darrious stood up, giving Creeper a slight glare and mouthing 'shut up' before turning to his sister and helping her up.

Creeper was a bit confused from Darry's reaction, usually he found his black humor hilarious. But he simply shrugged it off and lead the pair of siblings to the old barn, cracking open a door as he motioned them to go through. Trish was hesitant, and for good reason. But once she heard Darrious call for her, she sighed and peered in to see her car restored. With a shocked grasp, Trish took a step inside. "Its beautiful! He-he, how?" 

The Creeper answered by whistling softly, before getting inside and starting the engine with ease as it roared to life. Every dent, tear, and rusted spot was gone.

Of course it needed to be shined, and a few touch ups with the paint job, but the Creeper had brought it back to life. "Well Trish, the car wont get stuck on yah for a long, long time. It also got some new modifications that you'll find mighty handy, but I'mma have to show yah around them before you to her out for a drive."

Creeper said as he stepped out and patted the roof softly. He took Ash from Darry's arms, kissed and licked his cheek before purring their daughter was still sleepy. He gave a quick nod to Trish before climbing up to the hay filled loft where he was staying, putting himself and his child down for a nap. 

"He's changed Trish, just need to give him a chance." 

"Ball sniffer."

"I think you mean monster ball sucker." 

Darrius snickered as Trish sighed heavily, before both froze as they could hear Creeper growling. "You both stop with dem dirty words! Ash dont need to be repeating em."

Trish rolled her eyes, as if Creeper needed to be worrying about cuss words when his and Darry's daughter was exposed to corpses everyday. 

Later that night, Trish took her car out as she had nearly forgotten what the Creeper had told her. She had a date with a tall, blond and handsome and he was nowhere near her ex.

But when he walked her back to her car later that night, he must had touched or pulled a trigger, for a pair of spikes drove right through him, barring him from Trish for a moment from the passenger door as his neck was stuck in the window. The Creeper was expectantly waiting when she got back, and helped her figure out her vehicle and where the booby traps were located while she ranted and raved at him until sunup.

Dream Show

I heard about the Dream TV Show challenge from @incendiaglacies​ and entered in the event a little late. Thankfully @singledarkshade​ still let me in and gave me the following cast list: Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Legends of Tomorrow), Malcolm Barrett (Timeless), David Tennant (Doctor Who), Ming-Na Wen (Agents of SHIELD), Lou Diamond Phillips (Prodigal Son), Freema Agyeman (New Amsterdam), and Beth Riesgraf (Leverage). And from that, I created.....

Colby

Summary: The town of Colby is average by American standards, peaceful, and only noticeable during election season. Just like any other American town up until an earthquake and tornado strike the town on the same day within hours of each other. The resulting aftermath brings attention to the town and its residents as they work to rebuild. Every step forward brings out not only the best and the worst from its residents, but suspicious events that might indicate more to the disasters than meets the eye.

Cast:

Freema Agyeman as Valerie Spencer, principal of East Colby High School. She’s held the job for three years and puts her heart and soul into it. Valerie has become engaged to her girlfriend Nicole Gray recently, but sharing the engagement means coming out of the closet publicly and bringing a lot of attention to her. Following the disasters, she becomes a driving force in the town motivating people to rebuild and return to normal.

Malcolm Barrett as Ulysses Spencer, an ER doctor at the hospital. He is Valerie’s younger brother and is aware of her engagement. Ulysses goes through a trial by fire the day of the accident when the ER is flooded with injured and is forced to make several tough calls. One such call puts a strain on his long-time friendship with Kenneth Brenner. Following the disasters, Ulysses is faced with the ire of the community and becomes a pariah.

Beth Riesgraf as Nicole Gray, a local police officer. She is used to being on her own as a woman in the police force and being openly bisexual doesn’t help much either. With Valerie, she has started to learn how to be more open towards others. The quake and tornado put her department into action to help her town and her actions to save senior citizens bring her into positive spotlight for the press. But with the spotlight come attacks on her “life choices”, straining the engagement.

Maisie Richardson-Sellers as Handel Morgan, a first year English teacher at East Colby High School. A newcomer to Colby, Handel has been thrilled with her new life and loves the place she’s settled into within the community. Then the disasters strike her school and she is forced to witness unimaginable tragedy in her classroom. The aftermath pulls her into a situation she never would have expected, throwing further trauma her way. Handel is faced with the healing process, but also a mystery about the events she went through.

Lou Diamond-Phillips as Xavier Engle, co-owner of the XO Coffee and Diner that he shares with high school sweetheart and wife Olivia. Xavier is looked up to by many in the community for his calm attitude and incredible coffee. He and his wife grow close to Handel in the wake of the disaster due to her lack of family and frequent visitation of XO. Xavier is a calm soul but refuses to let anyone push him over.

Ming-Na Wen as Olivia Engle, co-owner of the XO Coffee and Diner with her husband Xavier. With her husband, Olivia is viewed as a valuable member of the community. She’s known Xavier since they were children and has loved him for just as long. Olivia is the first to grow close to Handel after noticing she comes to grade her papers at the coffeeshop in the evening. With that connection, she becomes pulled into the peculiar events happening around town with her husband.

David Tennant as Kenneth Brenner, an accountant. Both him and his wife Paula become injured in the disasters that impact the town, but Paula’s injuries are far more severe. She dies on the operating table after Ulysses makes a call to take a different patient for treatment before her. The loss of his wife, becoming a single father, and finding his business destroyed plays havoc on his emotions and erodes his friendship with Ulysses. Kenneth lets the worst in him come out towards everyone but his son. He knows he needs something to pull him out, only he doesn’t know where to find it.

A few notes

·        Valerie has several items in the background of her office and apartment that indicate she is a Wonder Woman/DC fan. Ulysses has a Deadpool lanyard and tends to wear Marvel shirts off duty. However, they also say ‘Live long and prosper’ to each other in place of goodbye.

The XO Coffee and Diner gets its name from the owners- Xavier and Olivia.

·        In Setback, Xavier becomes alarmed when he sees the symbol graffitied on the back of XO Coffee and Diner. At the end of the episode, he is holding a wooden box, the contents not shown to the viewer. Carved on the lid of the box is the same symbol. Olivia is in the background, leaving it up the viewer to decided if Olivia knows of the box or not.

·        During Lend a Hand, Handel hears her captors refer to a General. In The Third Disaster, Darrius kidnaps Handel to take her to mines under the town. He reveals the tornado was natural, but the earthquake was manmade as she suspected. For an unknown reason, he blames her for everything he became. She ends up killing him in self defense when he tries to take her away somewhere. As he dies, Darrius calls her the General and the device he had been holding activates after his death in a flash of light. Handel finds herself standing in the same place and makes her way out of the mines between shots of Kenneth, Nicole, Olivia, and law enforcement coming down. The latter group find an empty cavern as Handel walks out to discover a ravaged future Colby.

The Creeper answered by whistling softly, before getting inside and starting the engine with ease as it roared to life. Every dent, tear, and rusted spot was gone. Of course it needed to be shined, and a few touch ups with the paint job, but the Creeper had brought it back to life.

"He's changed Trish, just need to give him a chance." 

"Ball sniffer."

"I think you mean monster ball sucker." 

Darrius snickered as Trish sighed heavily, before both froze as they could hear Creeper growling.

"You both stop with dem dirty words! Ash don't need to be repeating em."

Trish rolled her eyes, as if Creeper needed to be worrying about cuss words when his and Darry's daughter was exposed to corpses everyday. A baby wouldn't even remember, would it? Trish thought as she sat in her car. Emotions she was holding back were bubbling to the surface, causing tears to roll down her cheeks as her brother climbed into the passenger side. He was different now…something within him had died long ago and Trish knew it.

Why couldn't she had been one that was taken instead of him? Better yet, she wished that they had never encountered the Creeper at all. Darry broke her train of thought as he reached down and played with the radio, twisting the knob until he came to a station he picked up.

Every breath you take

"Trish…." He spoke, his dark eyes dull. There were wrinkles around them now. Trish looked up before suddenly hugging him, closing her eyes as she sobbed.

Every move you make

Darry held her instantly, stroking her hair as he gently murmured. "I'm here now…and I won't ever leave you again." He promised, but he knew deep down that it would be hard to keep...there was still something inside him that feared being killed by the Creeper. 

Every vow you break-

Suddenly, Trish got up and started the engine. It roared to life as the engine purred smoothly. She wanted to drive through the barn doors, taking her brother with and not look back. But suddenly, the Creeper landed in front of the vehicle and leaned forwards with his palms on the hood. He growled deeply, his eyes glaring at both siblings as if he knew what was up. 

I'll be watching you.

"Yah think I'm stupid? I know what you're planning and I ain't gonna see it go through-"

Trish wondered how the Creeper read her mind. Darrius on the other hand seemed unphased as he was about to open the door when Creeper suddenly did it for him. 

"Trish yah need to wait before you can take this thing out on the road, I said I'll show you how to use it when I'm done sleeping." 

He rolled his eyes before taking Darry into his arms, purring at the man. Before Trish could reply, the Creeper was already gone to where he was napping now with Darrius. She groaned, before going back to her home to get ready for her evening date.

It was 7:00 PM, and Creeper was still asleep along with her own brother. Trish had no time to wait, she was already running late. Her other vehicle was an old rusted pick up truck...of course she wanted to make a good first impression on the guy she started seeing. Trish climbed in and started the engine, praying that it wouldn't awaken the Creeper as she drove off into the night. 

"Hopefully this goes well." Trish muttered to herself as she pulled up beside the large country house. A well dressed, sharp looked man walked out to the car as was wearing a western hat that made him look ridiculous, it also reminded Trish of the Creeper- no, he's not going to spoil this night.

She reached over and rolled down the window, grinning at him with her red lips. "Hey, thought you'd never get here." 

John said as Trish nervously chuckled. "I would have been here sooner but my brother in law needed help with something."

That was partially true, more or less that Trish needed help with something. But for what she wasn't sure. He reached down to open the door, pulling up on the handle which tonight was one of his biggest mistakes. Ivory stakes drove through his arm as they burst forth from the door, impaling him to Trish's car as he screamed out in agony. He fell to his knees as Trish rushed over to his aid.

"What the fuck?!" 

He snarled at her as she worked feverishly to pull his arm off. John shoved her back as another fresh wave of pain crashed through him and through his right arm. "I am so sorry! God damn it Creeper!"

Trisha cursed, digging for her phone through her purse to call an ambulance. John cussed and screamed at her while she was dialing 9-1-1. 

Trish returned home at five AM, her murderous car seemingly having self retracted its spikes out once the paramedics arrived. There was blood still stained to the door with Trish now being a newly single woman.

Of course, the Creeper was waiting. But instead of giving her shit, he draped a blanket over her shoulders and laid her on the couch as she instantly fell asleep. 

"Hopefully soon she begins to trust me." 

Creeper growled softly.
