Troy's blade glowed, an elegant, razor edge formed from quantum bubble-light. It aimed for Mr Mars' heart.
But then...
CLANG.
A hand.
An impossibly strong hand caught Troy’s wrist mid-swing.
The world paused.
STARMAN.
The sky dimmed behind his silhouette. His eyes burned crimson, but his face… it wasn’t rage.
It was grief.
Troy struggled. “LET. ME. GO!”
He pulled, twisted, popped bubbles hiding his presence and reappeared, only to find himself trapped in Starman’s arms, caught in a crushing hug.
Not one of war.
One of desperation.
“Troy,” he whispered, voice breaking cosmic silence. “Stop.”
[CHAT REPLAY]:
@ISCREAM4ICE: “YO STARMAN JUST SHOWED UP!!”
@HeroOfNone: “IS HE HUGGING HIM?! WTF?!”
@VoidFangirl: “I CAN’T BREATHE...WHAT IS HAPPENING??”
Troy trembled, trying to pull away, with his bubbles.
