Scent of Rose Petals, The (Short Story)

*The Scent of Rose Petals* is a short story in the Just Cause Universe. It appears in *The Good Fight 4: Homefront*and *JCU Omnibus Vol. 1*. The story is told from the point of view of Stanley, reflecting on his brief relationship with Lady Athena.

## Summary

*February, 1946*

*New York City, New York*

Six men attempt to rob the First Federal Bank and Trust on Bleecker Street. Stanley, a bank guard, is unarmed at the insistence of the bank manager. He lies on the floor with the others when the robbers order him to. Lady Athena arrives and orders the robbers to give up their firearms. One of the robbers fires his machine gun at her and she deflects the bullets into the ceiling so that a piece of masonry falls upon his head. The others surrender without a fight.

Stanley asks Lady Athena to the movies and she accepts. The two go on several dates and their relationship stretches into the summer.

*Next* *Summer*

Lady Athena introduces Stanley to her "family", by which she means American Justice (Dr. Danger, Colt, Flashpoint, Kid Crash, White Knight, and John Q. Public). They are interrupted by a request from the mayor to help with a situation. Stanley listens to the radio broadcast of the incident. American Justice fights a giant robotic dinosaur in the diamond district. The heroes manage to defeat the robot. At the end of the fight, John Q Public pursues a man who's stolen a case of diamonds. The thief shoots and kills John Q.

The robot, constructed by The Tyrant, was a diversion. While American Justice fought it, he and his cronies stole two million dollars worth of paintings. The FBI investigates the heroes, suspecting they may have been involved.

After John Q's funeral, Athena admits she loves Stan, but that they can't be together anymore.

## Notes

* Apollo and Flicker are members of American Justice mentioned in passing. They die before this story takes place.

* The story is printed as taking place in 1946, but that's an error. It takes place sometime after *Arrowheads*.

* Note now has a fold/crinkle at his side.

## Personality

Note is a very nice, friendly, and enthusiastic contestant, but unfortunately, is viewed as annoying to everybody around him as people see him as annoying, obnoxious, and loud. Keen on making friends, his excitement often causes him to act insane. Due to his overzealous behavior, other contestants tend to push him away-namely, Sharpener. Despite his supposed stupidity, he seems to have at least a shred of emotional intelligence and sense of righteousness, as he warns Smartie about the repercussions of her constant carping in Concealed Conundrums. Note is very confident in his beliefs and will call out others if they’re doing the wrong thing, emphasising his caring side.

Note is also shown to be very rejection sensitive, and does not take it well when others do not enjoy his company. This is shown predominantly in Find The Beginning, where he whines about Sharpener's rejection of his alliance idea and tries to follow Mug after her refusal to work with him.

## Abilities

* **Levitation:** Note has been show on multiple occasions that he can hover off the ground, like in the Nonexistent Living intro.
* **Teleportation:** Note can teleport, as shown in Find The Beginning!, when he was able to teleport to the button.
* **Superhuman Agility/Reflexes:** Note is shown to be very agile. In Find The Beginning!, Note was able to jump to reach Sharpener in just a few seconds, as he was already very far away from note.

## Coverage

### “Find The Beginning!”

In Find The Beginning, Note is first seen talking to Sharpener, squeezing out his excitement for the show. Although he is met with apathy, he asks Sharpener to make an alliance with him, but is immediately declined.

Twig is a sarcastic character towards his rivals and playfully towards his friends. He looks bored all the time but is aware of his surroundings. Additionally, he can be caring towards the people he likes, even taking this too far, being biased towards Medal and Toilet Paper as seen in Find The Beginning, where he blames Medal for being rude to Toilet Paper even though Toilet Paper was the one who challenged Medal to a race.

Twig also seems to like getting involved in situations he is not a part of and gets affected by other people's actions easily. However, his involvement in Medal's situation may not be centered on him enjoying getting involved in other people's endeavors, but harboring a grudge towards Medal himself.

## Trivia

**Smartie**: See, Lampshade? Aren't you curious about Picture Frame and what her plan is to win?

**Lampshade**: I stopped listening when you mentioned the name "Picture Frame", I assumed it was a weird and pointless question. So, no.

**Smartie**: Whatever, I'll go ask Ruler because I know that he'll listen.

**Lampshade**: Okay, yeah. You do whatever you said.

**Ruler**: Alright, take care of Speech Bubble!

**Lampshade**: Hey, what's up, Ruler?

**Ruler**: Oh god, what? Oh uh hey, what's on your mind?

**Smartie**: So, I was wondering if you knew what Picture Frame's plan was.

**Ruler**: Nope. She said, and I quote, sorry, I work alone.

**Smartie**: Well, that's fantastic.

**Ruler**: Maybe you could just ask her yourself? I mean...

**Smartie**: I guess. I could where she is.
