Drabble Repost

Inspired by Ben Edlund's little "Spoooooooon!" shout-out in this week's "Angel", I'm reposting my old sunday100 drabble.

Deep Down in the City of ...The City

Crossover: "The Tick"

"Nothing in the world is the way it ought to be, Connor. But that's why there's us. Champions!"

"So evil-doers, prepare! Because you know what Champions eat. They eat Wheaties! And it's time for us to drench the City with our milky justice, and make breakfast of the forces of Darkness!"

"SPOOOOOOOOOON!"

Connor silently regarded the blue stranger. He was strong, nigh-invulnerable, and tirelessly devoted to stamping out all forms of injustice. However, listening to his mixed-up, homily influenced blather was even worse than living with Angel.

And, he'd rather go back to Quartoth than wear a moth costume.

In the comics, and later the animated series, "SPOOON!" is the Tick's battle cry. For no apparent reason. It was very much a shout-out to that.

It could have only been funnier if it were Angel himself. Hee.

My desire for a Tick/Angel crossover began years ago, and was only made worse when they brought in the Groosalugg - who might as well have been Tick. I've always pictured one of those scenes where Tick just lectures while Angel stares dumbfounded. And then actually starts thinking about it. And stares some more. But, alas, this drabble was it.
