Rating: PG
Spoilers: working in "Justice League Unlimited"
Warnings: strong language, established Vigilante/Shining Knight (and in my headcanon Greg is from the 1930s, just so you know)
Prompt/Fill: None
Word Count: 1831
Summary: Even knights need rescuing sometimes.
Note: Inherited surnames were not a thing in Britain until the Norman invasion around 1066, while Sir Justin is from the 6th century (500-something). There is something about Sir Justin in the comics being called "Shining Knight" back in the day, so I gave him a nickname of Anglo Saxon name elements -- ead, which means 'blessed', and berht, which means 'bright'.
In fact the name "Justin" is itself something of an anachronism for the period of the Middle Ages that Sir Justin comes from, so in my headcanon his original name is actually "Justinian" from Latin and was modernized like his nickname.
Word of the Day: usageaster (YOO-sij-as-ter), noun: A self-styled authority on language usage.
