You probably know who this is-

darius cromwell , also known as the silver owl , is an acting hero within the bulletproof universe ( the universe that encompasses jezebel and my other oc im currently inactive on ). he and jezebel met during one of her escapades , engaging in combat when she became keen on knowing if she could beat him. spoiler : there was no winner. they were fairly evenly matched , with him having experience on her in comparison to her having raw power on him. regardless , she came to admire him after that and thusly , stuck around. she became very close to him and his daughter , tina , otherwise known as the titanium turtle.

upon learning more about the convent , darius offered his assistance in taking it down and killing birke moreau. upon execution of the operation , they discovered birke's new pet project --- a clone of darius named barnabas , son of consolation. birke had been working on cloning for a long time by this point , taking the project onto overdrive after the disappearance of his most prized assassin. jezebel took barnabas down , with intention to kill , but was stopped by darius. barnabas was knocked unconscious and taken home with them at the end of the mission , darius intending to raise the boy.

it wasn't long after the take down of the convent that artemiy died and jezebel went rogue. seymour and darius took it upon themselves to track her down , telling unit 002 to stay behind as jezebel was now a lethal threat. naturally , they did not listen. jezebel was their friend and they weren't gonna sit idly by when they could do something. their search ran parallel to seymour and darius' and they managed to find her only a short time before seymour and darius could. in the end , it was actually wren that talked jezebel into coming home. this also takes place far after wren saved jezebel's life and went through her own development on learning how to become a person. barnabas was her talking point --- he needed jezebel , just as jezebel had needed artemiy. barnabas needed someone who understood him and his suffering. he needed her , his sister , to be his lifeline to humanity. and jezebel couldn't argue with that.

the creeper can still  smell him,  and it drives it right mad, at that  –  the acrid stench of human existence, delivered from the crotch of darry’s underwear into the monster’s many lungs.

&   when it looks at him  …  oh, when it  LOOKS  at him, it only sees skin and dark brown eyes, eyes that belong in its  OWN SKULL.  a body like art.  inked belly.  intricate curve of hip.  little pieces.  little pieces it wants to carry forever.  and it only ever thinks about its hands around his neck.  delicate throat.  CRUSHABLE THROAT.  and their contrast, their brilliant contrast  –  big hands, milky skin, what  doesn’t  it like about darius  …?    THEY’RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER, ARTIST, SPECIMEN.    why did he run?  do those eyes deceive him?  does he not  UNDERSTAND?

( IT HAS ALWAYS WONDERED IF DARIUS COULD FIND IT BEAUTIFUL TOO.  WHAT DOES HE SMELL, WHAT DOES HE SEE, WHEN THE CREEPER LEERS AT HIM FROM TALL, TALL OAKS?  )
