Is Demo Lucien in Love?

by Terry B. L. Paine, Paragon Tattler

STEEL CANYON - Ok, so I know I’m his biggest fan, but I still can’t believe what I saw. Demo Lucien, one of the greatest scrappers of all time is dating Kitten with a Whip! Can you believe it? Well, I couldn't either -- and wouldn't have, had I not witnessed it with my own eyes.

It was a rather hot end to another long working day, and this reporter was just climbing the ramp at the Yellow Line station in Steel Canyon, ready to head home.

That's when I saw them - our two heroes were standing along the railing together, watching the sunset, which by now had bloomed into gorgeous hues of reds and oranges.

I was so excited. There they were, two of my favorite heroes, sharing what seemed to be a tender moment. My keen instincts aroused, I casually moved closer, pretending to read my paper.

I couldn't quite make out what they were saying, but I know I heard something about him being her daddy. Well, after I retrieved the gum that had just fallen out of my mouth from sheer shock, I heard a "smack!".

I rounded the corner, only to see Kitten disappear behind the metro doors that had just sealed shut. I asked a witness if what I thought I'd heard was indeed what happened, and she confirmed it, laughing "girl, that must have hurt!"

This reporter did manage to catch Demo Lucien before he could escape the gathering mob of fans.

Terry B. L. Paine: “Demo Lucien, this reporter has heard rumors that you and Kitten with a Whip are, shall we say, having relations. Can you confirm these rumors?”

Demo Lucien: “I neither confirm nor deny these rumors, but I will say that Kitten and I are part of the same supergroup, often working on the same team. I would do nothing that might compromise our working relationship.”

TP: “What about the handprint on your cheek?”

DL: “I work in a dangerous line of business and if a handprint is all I walk away with I consider myself lucky.”

TP: “What about the persistent rumors that Kitten with a Whip has called you ‘Sweetie’ on more than one occasion?”

DL: “If you’ve ever been around Ms. Whip you will know that she calls everyone ‘Sweetie.’ It’s part of her charm.”

Our hero refused to give anymore comments and refused pictures as well, waving to the fans, jumping the station railing and sprinting away.

Well, at least his fans have a new topic for the online chat groups. This is Terry B. L. Paine, number one fan and future sidekick reporting the truth as we know it, right here in Steel Canyon.
