How an OTP Starts, Illustrated
Jun. 12th, 2008 09:38 pmEspecially given the events of this week, I would not be one to deny the power of Booster/Beetle, at all. But before they were pals, Beetle was pals with someone else; The Question.
Although it isn't their first meeting, it was Americomics Special: The Sentinels of Justice #1 that the slash part of my brain began to suspect that something was up.
It's not the best story in the world, notable for this; the second Question shows up, he and Beetle are pretty much inseparable. It's also the first time I noticed Ted totally brushing off his girlfriend.
Somebody forgot that Ted and Vic had already met back in the 80's, so there are two 'first meeting' stories. And the Question actually was created in Ted's first Blue Beetle; as a back-up feature, so it's not so surprising that they become fast friends. Vic never has a lot of friends... but he counts Ted as one almost immediately.
And so it begins.
( We make a good team, don't you think? )
So. Evidence of sweaty hot man-love? Well, no. Not that slash goggles really care about that sort of thing. But Question is really not a people-person, and although he does irritate Ted now and then... the only other guy Vic Sage ever really gets closer to is Aristotle, who watches Vic twist himself into a pretzel-shape in his tighty-whities on a daily basis.
Yeah. Ted is an acrobat and Vic can twist himself into shapes I haven't seen anyone but a contortionist pull off. It helps.
