I know basically nothing about these incarnations of Gregorio (Extraño) and Hugh (Tasmanian Devil) and I would like to.

In Apollo and the Midnighter, they have an adopted daughter, Suri, who has wings. There is some implication that Gregorio has given up or moved on from the life where he used the Extraño name, which sounds like Rebirth handwaving the pre-52 continuity where Gregorio was arguably (however badly written) DC's first openly gay superhero. Do you think that's true in universe? What would that have been like? Is this why Gregorio could collect the JLQ so easily? Has he been a mentor or friend to all these heroes? (A five times Gregorio helped a member of the JLQ/one time they helped him fic would be pretty cool.) He implies that he found it hard to forget the Midnighter -- how did they meet, as friends or foes? Does Gregorio also know Apollo? Why did Gregorio give up superhero-ing? Did he even give up, or just give up the name?

Hugh also has Rebirth continuity problems. Did Hugh still date the Mikaal Thomas Starman in current continuity and if so, what happened there? Did Hugh still die and get resurrected? What lingering affects would that have? How did Gregorio and Hugh meet? How did they start dating? What was their wedding like? How did they end up with Suri? Who is Suri? (If there is pre-existing canonical backstory, I have missed it. Gregorio says 'her current incarnation'. Is she Swift reincarnated? Some version of the Doctor or a Century Baby or a god?) What are they like as parents? How do they fit the JLQ in around raising their daughter? Do the team help? Apollo and Midnighter have been parents although, again, I have no idea if that is true in current continuity. DC really fucked up their own canon a lot. Pick and choose the bits you like!

I'd also be interested in learning more about the Sacrarium. It's clearly mystical in some way ala Doctor Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. What powers might it possess?

Thank you for this! I was originally thinking of a Midnighter/Apollo angle but now you've expanded my horizons.

DC

I would read both!
