Author POV:

After the credits rolled on episode two of *Agatha All Along*, a wave of disbelief washed over the viewers; with only Steve and Wanda remaining composed, the shocking demise of Sharon Davis left many teens and kids in tears, rushing to their parents or guardians for comfort, grateful to be held tightly in their protective arms. The emotional turmoil was palpable as the younger audience members processed the gravity of the storyline. Whispers of "Why did that happen?" and "Is she really gone?" filled the room, underscoring the impact of the narrative. Parents gently stroked their children's hair, offering soothing words and reassurances, while the screen flickered with the credits, a stark contrast to the emotional chaos unfolding in the living room.

In the wake of a sorrowful episode, parents find themselves in a delicate dance of consolation, striving to soothe their children's tender hearts. Their hearts are heavy with the understanding that more heartache is on the horizon, lurking in the narratives that will soon unfold. They wish to guard their innocent souls against the looming specter of grief and loss, to create a buffer between their children and the harsh realities of life. Each gentle word and comforting touch is imbued with the hope that they can delay the inevitable, allowing their little ones to bask in the warmth of childhood just a little longer before facing the world's inevitable sorrows.

A profound sadness filled the air, wrapping around the adults like a shroud as they absorbed the weight of the story that had just unfolded. Among them were heroic figures who had faced their trials and civilians who carried the burdens of everyday life. Many craved the continuation of the tale, their imaginations ignited by the possibilities that lay ahead. Yet, others found themselves reluctant to rush into the next chapter, wanting instead to share their reflections on the powerful scenes they had just witnessed.

In a warm and inviting corner of the room, Agatha and her coven were casually enjoying each other's company. At the same time, the rest of the crowd was captivated by the episode's thrilling final scene. Lilia, filled with excitement to introduce her father to her friends, took his hand and said, "Dad, I can't wait for you to meet my coven! This is Agatha Harkness, the one in purple, and behind her is Teen. The woman in pink is Jennifer Kale, and the one with the vibrant red highlights is Alice. And this is my adopted father, Jason Blood, who is bonded with Etrigan the Demon, which grants him immortality. He raised me during the times when my coven was often busy with their magical pursuits. Jason has been an incredible mentor, teaching me so much about magic and the rich tapestry of history. He's always been there for me, providing guidance and support. Every year, he leaves me a special gift that serves as a reminder of his love and the unique bond we share, showing that he cares in his special way."

Teen, filled with exhilaration, crouched behind Agatha, unable to contain his joy as he replayed the moment in his mind! He had just experienced the unforgettable thrill of being hugged by the illustrious Jason Blood, the Knight of Camelot, a figure who seemed to embody the very essence of heroism! This remarkable man has roamed the earth for centuries, gathering stories and wisdom along the way, each tale a testament to his bravery and resilience. The thought of all the history he has witnessed, from epic battles to moments of quiet reflection, left the teenager in awe, his imagination ignited by the possibilities of adventure.

After introducing her father to her coven, Jason quietly stepped away to chat with the members of the BatFam, Teen Titans, Justice League, and Dark about having a daughter who shares his long lifespan. "Hi, everyone. I know this might come as a shock, but I'm Lilia's father, and yes, I'm older than her—old enough to be her son," he said. John's eyes widened in disbelief. "Jason, I've known you bloody long, and this is the first I'm hearing about you being a dad! You're usually a man of few words," he exclaimed, his tone a mix of surprise and curiosity.
