Holmes and Watson. Achilles and Patroclus. Angel and Spike. Eleven and Amy Pond. That guy with the weird hair and glasses and his good looking friend who likes to blow up cars.

All great heroes (and some great villains) have got one. A second-in-command. A right-hand man (or woman). A "number two," if you want to start everybody making poo jokes.

Who is your second in command? What makes them the one person you can always trust to have your back? How did they become your partner/sidekick?

You can use this as a prompt for a short fic, drabble, poem, or other piece of writing. Post your creative efforts on your journal.
