Her parents had come home with Phantom, captured and beaten in a cage. They'd taken him down to the basement, preparing to do a few hours of tests before really ripping into him to look at his insides.
With shaking hands, Jazz dialed, the call jumping around several different signals to get around the media blackout.
"Justice League hotline, what's your emergency?"
She swallowed. "My parents have kidnapped a meta kid and they're planning on experimenting on him. They're holding him down in our basement and I can't get him out."

I understand not wanting your party members to walk into a lake and drown themselves but also Laudna has the fuckin WORST bedside manner lol. Yes, your much-needed long rest was just interrupted in a creepy abandoned town where you know weird charm-shit happened and the LAST thing you need right now is for anyone to lose focus. But also "Can you not wait? You can wait 5 minutes." talking to someone who has waited months and doesn't know if their loved one is even ALIVE and has confessed to you how much he misses them and how much it hurts and they could be outside breathing alive right now—
And on the surface, it looks like Chet is enabling a bad decision when he says "You probably heard Dorian. He's probably outside." and yeahh, okay, maybe he is a little bit. But right after that he's about to protest with something about Orym and it's like yeah. ORYM said he heard something. When has there been a time when ORYM heard something, and it wasn't real? How many times has Orym heard something and it's saved our asses? Before Chet is being hit with his own need to check out the lake, he's giving Orym the benefit of the doubt. And while he is an enabler by nature, he's keeping his voice soft rather than his usual, over-the-top "let's fuck around and find out" energy that he brings to dangerous situations like this.
You can't have everyone in the group treating a dilemma with the same amount of sympathy and care. What makes the BH so fascinating to watch is the variation in responses and different ways they interact with each other. You need a balance of someone who will take the cold, unyielding stance against something that is so obviously a trap, and someone that is aware of the risks but willing to speak up for that person and humor them when they're so clearly struggling.
I have a lot of feelings about Laudna and Chetney's instinctual responses and I think both stances are fascinating and they've both shattered my heart to pieces

"Sewing is supposed to be fun!" a youtuber just said.
I hear that, but what if sewing is just how I am getting clothes because getting clothes is hard and I have a strong personal sense of style? Does everything have to be fun? Yes, I enjoy parts of the process, mostly the actual at the sewing machine parts, and the picking out fabrics part. But honestly, I'm a production sewist not a process sewist and that's just going to have to be okay.
Video games are fun. Making visual art is generally pleasurable for me. Sewing is a thing I do to accomplish a thing I want.

Does Keya have a favorite food?
Well...
She does actually...
At new Year before the spiders minions being released to the city, the time Redson was just heating up the stoves while DBK was still on his way heading toward where his 'son' is (which is in a food atand he just prepared)
Mrs. Xing and the other caretakers are taking all the orphan to watch the new year parade and fireworks.
All the kids get to buy one thing each, and it's can be a meal or something else as long as it cheap.
It was Keya turn to pick things for her to bought, and Mrs. Xing were the one that accompanying her, as they stumbled upon Red food spicy food stand, and Keya ask Mrs. Xing if she can buy that.
Although Mrs. Xing is a bit hesitate at first on seeing the level of the food, but Keya have always been a spicy food lover so she bought her a bowl of inferno level spicy noodle (Keya pick that level) as the noodles was the cheapest menu there.
And well she took a bite, and immediately take another bite till she finished her bowl, even though she knows Red was the one that attack the city long time ago, she decided to thank him (cuz he's been acting nicely at them) and say that his food is so yummy that she actually wanted more but can't.
Red who's surprised seeing a 'mortal' child manage to finish a bowl of his inferno level noodles and thinks it's impressive, he also love the praise the child gave him, although seeing the child sad face cuz she can't have more, he decided to gave away a kebab sticks and a fried chicken (both on inferno level) to her for free.
So both Keya and Mrs. Xing thanks him before heading back toward the group while she ate her spicy meal happily.
He didn't tell his father anything about that customer of his.
And so...
After that day he often stumbled on the same 'mortal' child as she keeps on thanking him and praising his cooking, and start to intentionally appears near her with some spicy foods...
The traffic lights trio was just hang out after season three before chapter one of lotus and butterfly even started :
Mei : "hey Redboy what's that on your jacket?"
MK : appear behind red and looking at something that a bit pointed out from his jacket pocket
Red : "oh that's..." realizing something "OH... OH I forgot I have to do something for a bit!"
Immediately teleport with his flames
Mei : "what's up with him?"
MK : shrugged "dunno maybe he left something on his garage or something..."
On a different part of the city...
Keya : running away from kidnappers again her cloak flattering by the wind.
Red : suddenly appears way front of her while holding an inferno levels beef kebab on his hand.
Keya : ran past through him while also grabbing the beef kebab from his hand while saying thank you along the way, and continue running while eating it, and didn't even flinch from how spicy it is.
Keya : "Thanks again the Demon Bull Prince Redson!"
Red : "I'm only doing this cuz you're my loyal customer! And I told you to just call me by my name mortal!"
He's actually giving it to her for free...
Keya : "Got it! Sorry! Have a nice day!"
She keeps on running even while saying that not while eating the kebab.
He teleport back with his flames toward where MK and Mei was slurping their boba and act like nothing ever happened, he didn't even bother to help the girl with the kidnapper problem she's currently facing nor even saying 'you're welcome' back at the child.
