《Interwoven ✔️》i. Worst Year Ever

✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧⋄⋆⋅⋆⋄✧
2020 was the worst year the world had ever known.
January kicked off with World War 3 threats. Then there were the fires in Australia. If that wasn't a big enough F-you from mother nature to humans, there were the earthquakes in Turkey and Caribbean, volcano eruption in Philippines, devastating floods in Indonesia, locust plague in Africa, Murder Hornets spreading to America, and the list went on.
Oh, and speaking of plague, there was the infamous COVID-19 that caused global chaos and imprinted the traumatic two words: 'social distancing' upon everyone's minds. Nations were shut down and leaders' true intelligence were exposed, or utter lack of intelligence thereof.
Yet if all that wasn't enough, Earth was rocked on its very foundations in late November of 2020 when hundreds— and I mean hundreds— of large spaceships entered the upper atmosphere and touched down on earth.
Aliens.
Or what we called Outworlders. They weren't green, bald creatures with black eyes. In fact they looked very much like us humans save for one thing: the Marks. All the extraterrestrial beings had crisscrossing colorful marks that interwove across their skins; like glowing abstract tattoos. It was more cool than weird, at least in my opinion.
It was all pretty anti-climatic really. A lot of people weren't even surprised when the spaceships landed because 2020 could not have gotten any worse or weirder.
Sort of like the movies the Outworlders had come to infiltrate our world. But in the name of good and in the name of peace. They even found the cure for COVID-19. Not just a vaccine, but a cure. So if someone decided eating a coronavirus-infected raw bat soup or whatever was a good idea again there wouldn't be another global pandemic.
There was an attempt of humans going to war, but well... it didn't really work out since these beings had the ability to morph into anything. Anything. Including your beloved morning coffee pot if they wanted.

In just three years, the aliens had infiltrated all continents and countries. Treaties and agreements were eventually made and soon the Infinity Council was formed—a council of both Outworlders and humans— and Earth became united under the New Order (very originally named, I know).
I was born almost a decade after the Infinity Council was formed; so all I'd ever known was the New Order. My grandparents and my parents— who were both about 15 when the New Order came to existence— still remembered a world free of Outworlders and were disgruntle about the extraterrestrials 'invading' our planet.
I didn't mind the New Order. I'd grown up seeing the Outworlders and their children all around me. I'd even befriended some in the past. That is, until my parents shooed off the alien children and told me to stay away from them.
However, no matter how much my parents resented Outworlders, they couldn't stop Order #327 which stated that whence a human turned 18, they were assigned an alien to live together for six months in efforts to raise a generation where both species coincided peacefully.
Sharehouses were set up everywhere: residences designed to support both humans and Outworlders for the six month duration of living together and learning about each other.
My Sharehouse was a simple, but surprisingly lovely, two story house. The interior was homey with clean wooden floors, large open windows, and basic furnishings sprawled everywhere.
I'd placed my move-in backpack and luggage by the door and immediately began exploring the Sharehouse. Upstairs there was only one bathroom and, to my further surprise, the rest of the floor was just one large bedroom.
Loud noises downstairs alerted me that my extraterrestrial partner had arrived. My heart immediately skipped with both excitement and nervousness. I was finally going to meet her.

I lingered a couple extra seconds upstairs and listened at the sound of footsteps pattering around downstairs. Then I took a deep breath and skittered down the stairs, ensuring my feet loudly clattered to give my alien partner enough warning that I was here.
The footsteps downstairs stopped. I hopped down the last step. My assigned Outworlder was leaning against the far wall. I halted. We stared at each other.
Two things sunk in at once. Each one sending an incredible shock wave down my spine.
One. My assigned Outworlder wasn't female specimen as I had thought. She was a he.
Two. I knew this alien.
And from his blanched face he recognized me too.
We both pointed at each other.

8 2567The Adventures of BLUE EAGLE
"Herald City. A great American metropolis, with gleaming towers and bustling streets. Never before has there been a safer place to live and work, because the citizens know that when disaster strikes, they can count on the protection of BLUE EAGLE. Blue Eagle--also known as David Dufraine--was born with incredible strength, powerful eyebeams, superhuman senses, and the amazing ability of flight. Possessing a strong sense of justice, he seeks to protect the city from criminals who prey on the innocent. Having taught these values to his son Jack, who possesses similar abilities, they protect Herald City as Blue Eagle and Switch the Blue Eaglet! Together, the Father-Son Duo wages a war on crazy criminals and notorious ne'er-do-wells, including the powerful perverter of plant life, QUEEN VENUS. These are the adventures of BLUE EAGLE and SWITCH THE BLUE EAGLET." Welcome, everybody! This superhero adventure is a nostalgic return to the good ol' days of the Filmation and Hanna-Barbera superhero cartoons of the 1960s and 70s. With Super Friends, The Adventures of Super Boy, and The Adventures of Batman and The New Adventures of Batman as inspiration, I hope to take you back to the olden days of wacky stories jam-packed with superhero action and excitement! This is actually a leadup of a much larger project I'm working on (which will be played straight, have a darker and more serious tone, and will be a multi-season serialized epic). I've been itching to publish something with my characters for some time, and this 8 episode miniseries just scratches that itch. So while my main series is being written, I hope you find some enjoyment in some good old fashioned superhero fun.
