known connections to
Paulie
(Valkyrie#1 (fb) - BTS) – Paulie worked in the Pierogi Restaurant and was part of a band, the Junk Food Junkies. He befriended local Barbara, who survived a suicide attempt. Barbara began to confide in Paulie about her dreams. Paulie concealed the fact that he’d contracted AIDS from his family and friends.
(Valkyrie#1) – Barbara came in to the restaurant and spaced out, and Paulie talked over her dreams with her. The two took a walk and saw a deceased homeless woman, and Paulie was shocked when Barbara, with a flash of light, claimed to have set the woman’s soul free. They soon arrived at band practice, and Barbara went rushing from the room without explanation. Later, Paulie and Barbara found Alice in a heap, having overdosed on drugs. The demonic D’Spayre taunted Barbara until she stood revealed as Valkyrie and saved Alice’s soul. After taking Alice to the hospital on winged horse, Aragorn, Paulie heard Valkyrie tell of her Asgardian connections, and he confided in her about his AIDS. She took him on an inspiring flight over the city, allowing Paulie to feel that his soul was free.
