Words: 22,985 Chapters: 3/3
Summary: Bart didn't know what he did to deserve this, because surely forcing a speedster to travel 1,000 the long way in a moving truck was nothing short than cruel and unusual punishment. Meanwhile Max struggles to keep the peace, and keep Bart inside the truck as he mentally prepares himself for an uncertain future between them. Bart Allen, fresh from VR, certainly always keeps him guessing.
Highlights include a guest appearance from Lobo, an emotional traffic jam, and crimes involving a Jukebox.
Excerpt:
“Are we really gonna drive all the way to Obama in this ancient thing?” Bart looked at the large orange and white U-Haul truck suspiciously as Max closed the hatch and locked it. 
“It’s Alabama , and yes. We are.” 
“But why?!” Bart asked under a flash of yellow and he was gone from Max’s side. 
“Bart?” Max looked for Bart - one side of the truck and then the other and found nothing. “Bart?!” 
“We can just run there in like less than a hundredth of a second!” Bart’s voice came from the top of the truck, he was holding a little red and white paper food tray piled with fried green tomatoes that he enthusiastically munched on - a souvenir from his rapid travel to their destination to make his point. 
“Bart, get down. And don’t just… Jump,” Max sighed as he watched Bart take a fantastic leap from the top of the truck to the ground. The way he landed made his knees hurt. Somewhere between Bart’s leap to the ground and landing he had devoured all of the tomatoes leaving little crumbs on his chin. “Come on, I want to be on the road in five minutes.” 
“But why Max? I’m serious! We can just take everything there ourselves and be done in less than a minute! Why do we gotta drive?!” 
Max was starting to wonder that himself. “Because it’s how people move, Bart. And my job is to teach you how.” 
Bart looked at Max, his thick eyebrows knitting together. “I already know how to move, Max.”

Closure - Wally West Imagine
Tumblr media
*Image from Amazon -- Link here
Requested by frostbite883 -  Can you do anything like this? YJ Imagine Request: Kid Flash (Wally West) sees for himself on whether or not an ex-super villain have turned over a new leaf for himself. When Kid spies on the former villain, he accidentally finds out why the guy had quit the villain game.
Author’s Note - Sorry that this took years and I hope it’s what you wanted.
***
“What do you mean we don’t have to worry about Bloodline anymore?” Wally spat out in the middle of the Batman’s mission briefing. Half eaten chips flew out of his mouth. “Bloodline? The one who shot the Flash in the knee?”
“Close your mouth, dude,” Robin hissed, eyes widened when Batman’s gaze narrowed into a glare. The rest of the team bristled. They were all in the main cove of the cave. The screen showed all Bloodline’s known associates, but Bloodline’s photo said retired on the bottom. The very thought had Wally nearly throwing up.
Batman crossed his arms. “Bloodline is out of the game and no longer your concern.” Batman turned away from Wally, ending the conversation. The briefing continued. 
Wally crumbled his chip bag in his hand, staring at Bloodline’s face. Their face in a permanent scowl. Wally remembered seeing that face in the shadows as he heard Barry screaming behind him. 
“Yeah, right.” Wally mumbled to himself, throwing his chip bag toward the nearest trash can before pretending to listen to Batman.
***
“Rob, just look up Bloodline’s location please,” Wally begged in the locker room. The mission was a success, but the entire team was covered in mud. Wally decided he wouldn’t think about this particular mission again. The mud was a good enough souvenir. 
Dick closed his shower curtain with a sharp snap. “Why are you disturbed, Walls?” Dick raised his voice to be heard through the curtain. Wally sighed, stepping into his own shower and stripping out of his suit. “Get turbed. Batman wouldn’t tell us they are out of the game if they weren’t.”
“Because Bloodline isn’t the type leave the game.” Wally turned on the water, shivering at the chill of it. He turned up the hot water. “Please Rob. I’d owe you.”
“You should leave it alone,” Kaldur said from somewhere else in the locker room. He had used the shower first. Wally snorted, putting his head under the water to ignore him. 
Dick sighed loud enough for Wally to hear through the shower wall. “Alright. I’ll take a look after my shower.” 
“Thanks Rob,” Wally said, grabbing shampoo for his hair. Dick laughed his creepy little laugh. Wally rolled his eyes, but smiled, glad he would solve the mystery of Bloodline’s supposed retirement.
***
Wally bit his lip as he walked through the visitor’s entrance of the Metropolis Mid-Town Hospital. “So apparently they’re a patient here,” Dick said, putting his hands in his pockets somewhat nervously. His sunglasses hid his eyes. Wally told him he didn’t need to wear those, but Dick insisted.
“Hopefully, they’re in a coma,” Wally muttered under his breath. They approached the front desk. Dick flashed them a charming smile and gave them Bloodline’s civilian name. Wally didn’t know what to feel. He felt dirty inside for hoping Bloodline was in extreme pain. Was he a bad person for hoping the one who hurt his uncle would suffer?
Dick grabbed Wally’s arm to tug him along. “Come on. They’re on the third floor in the Oncology ward.” 
“Oncology?” Wally blinked, glancing at the gift shop as they passed. “You mean they have cancer?”
“Probably.” Dick glanced at Wally worriedly. “What are you planning to do, Walls?” They stopped by the elevator. Dick pressed the up button.
“I just want to make sure Bloodline is gone for good.” Wally crossed his arms. “Dude, they shot Barry in the knee. Shattered his kneecap. He had to be in surgery for hours, having to recut tendons, rebreak bones because he healed so fast.” 
Dick paled slightly. “Yeah, that wasn’t pleasant, but if Bloodline isn’t suffering enough for you, what are you going to do?” 
Wally rubbed his chin. “I’m not going to do anything. I just need to know.” The elevator doors opened. Two older woman stepped out and the boys slipped inside. “You know what I mean.”
Dick looked at the floor, pursing his lips together. Wally’s heart panged slightly. 
“Sorry, Dick.” Wally patted Dick’s shoulder. Dick glanced at him, giving him a half smile. 
“It’s okay. I get it.” The elevator doors opened to reveal beautiful walls with flowers painted everywhere. A small plaque on the wall said it was painted as part of a donation. Wally’s jaw dropped. Dick had to pull him out of the elevator before the doors closed on him. 
In the waiting room, there was a person in paint stained clothing. They were working on the mural of flowers on the far wall. Wally noted it made the room feel friendlier at the sight of all the flowers. 
“Hey, do you know where room 334 is?” Dick asked the painter. The painter turned, blinking in surprise. They looked to be about Wally’s age. Wally lost his breath at the sight of them. They had paint on their nose, but it made them even more prettier. 
“It would be a great help to us, babe.” Wally grinned charmingly, unable to stop himself. The painter looked at him blankly. 
“That’s Mx. (L/N)’s room. They’re taking a nap.” The painter put their brush down. “They usually are here to watch me paint, but they’re going downhill fast.”
Wally’s shoulders dropped. “What do you mean?”
The painter sighed. They took a seat and grabbed their water bottle. “They had lung cancer, but when the doctors found it, it spread to their blood.” They bit their bottom lip. Dick shifted onto his heels. Wally felt a little weak in the knees. “They don’t have long left, but they donated money for me to paint the lobby.” The painter smiled softly, eyes focused on the far wall. “They said it should give hope instead of dread.”
Wally glanced around the room in awe. His head hurt. Maybe Dick made a mistake and found the wrong person? This couldn’t have been the same person that shot the Flash in the knee. Could it? Wally rubbed his temple.
“It does lighten the room,” Dick said after a moment of silence. He looked at Wally. “We’ll just go take a peek to see if they’re awake.” 
The painter nodded. “Yeah, go ahead. They’re down the hall. Left side, second door from the end.” 
Wally turned and started walking. Dick jogged to catch up with him. “You okay?” Dick whispered as they neared Bloodline’s door. 
“I don’t know.” Wally paused outside of the door and peeked through the window. It was Bloodline, no doubt about that, but it was a faded version of the person Wally remembered. Gaunt as a corpse, hair thin. They looked half in the grave. Wally swallowed hard. “It’s them.”
A weight lifted off Wally’s shoulders. He knew Bloodline was indeed out of the game as Batman said. A sigh escaped his lungs, taking away the fear and dread. “Is it bad I don’t feel terrible or sorry?” 
Dick stood on his toes to peek in himself. “I don’t think so. I mean, if the man who killed my parents was where Bloodline is...I would feel relief. He can’t hurt anyone else, just like Bloodline can’t now.”
Wally nodded, blinking back the burning in his eyes. “Yeah, you’re right.” He swallowed hard. “Let’s go.” 
“Closure.” Dick put his hands in his pockets as they walked back down the hall. “It makes everyone feel better for the most part.”
“I guess.” Wally felt lighter, so when he saw the painter again, he felt his charm turn on. “Hey babe, you taking a break anytime soon?”
The painter glanced at him, studying him carefully. “I take it they were asleep.” 
“Yeah, and don’t mind him, he’s a dog,” Dick said, elbowing Wally in the side. Wally winced. Dick always did have sharp elbows. 
“It’s okay.” The painter stood up and started to put away their paints. “I was about done for the day anyway and I suppose I could go for some ice cream. There’s a good place around the corner.” They looked at Wally. “If it helps, Bloodline is sorry for what they did.” 
Wally blinked, wondering if he was that obvious. The painter just laughed and waved their hand. “You weren’t the first one to come,” they said calmly. “Honestly, I came looking for them too. They killed my grandfather when they raided Star Labs ten years ago. Then we got to talking and I got the commission to paint this.” They gestured to the walls. 
“Hope,” Wally said, looking around. He blushed when he noticed the painter was watching him.
“Yeah, hope. I might call it that.” They looked around the room, smiling. Their eyes shined.
Dick looked at his watch. “Oops, I have to go home. Got a thing with my...guardian.” He sent a secret grin to Wally. Wally mentally noted that he owed Dick big for this. “I’ll have to take a rain check on that ice cream, but Wally here will still go. He’s boring.” Dick waved and ran off before Wally could protest.
The painter snorted, smiling at Wally. “So Wally huh? I’m (Y/N).” 
“(Y/N), pretty name.” Wally beamed and offered to take their bag. They allowed him as they slowly walked to the elevators.

dropping in birdflash for the ship ask meme
Bro the fact I was going to bed and I see this 😂 fuck my sleep birdflash comes first. What they're talking about btw (link)
1. What made you ship it.
Buckle up because it's a doozy, so I was big on reading things on DeviantArt art and I stumbled upon a birdflash from from the sonadow side by the suggestion box. I wasn't as well versed in DC at the time, I watched Batman movies, the teen titans angsty anime lol, and I had a Wally west Flash comic I stolen from my cousin... And I was a huge marvel fan at the time so I didn't know about young justice league but I knew of the justice league and I thought this was fanon team thing, anyways I knew Dick and I knew Wally, was a big Wally x jinx shipper at the time too, so I'm guessing the suggestion fics but that in consideration idk anyways... The fic is called Nothing to Be Sorry For by sixdimensionaldragon and this fic is about (⚠️ warning major death⚠️) the young justice league on a mission by Bruce to take down a drug dealer ring that is guarded by men with extra military grade machine rifles. Honestly Bruce probably something would do but also not. Anyways Robin gets poisoned and they got no antidote and kaldur doesn't know how to help not being familiar with this poison, and Megan can't stop it (mind you I only know Bruce, dick, and Wally so these characters are just voices to me at the time I didn't even give a face.) Anyways Wally pissed because Dick is dying quicker and even tells Meg off despite having trying to get her affection for awhile because everyone basically said he's dead so leave him and continue and honestly looking back yeah Wally would act like this because of trauma, so Wally picks Rob up and runs trying to get out of this ring only to alert the guards (meg is trying to stop him but not having it) well one of them got Wally in his leg and he's skidded across the hallway protecting Dick, Dick walks up and they do the "I'm sorry" "don't be sorry" "leave me and safe your self" "I'm never leaving you" thing, Dick knows he's stubborn so he ask for his mask to be taken off since they're not going to make it so Wally does and they're looking at each other knowing this is is and they smile before being killed, and the team was trying to follow Wally this whole time so they're hearing regular gunshots but stop at a series of short ones before continuing again to find out that Dick and Wally are dead hand in hand with a peace smile AND FIVE GUN SHOTS IN THE CHEST EACH BTW LIKE MA'AM THIS IS OVERKILL WITH FIVE and ends there. 13yo me ADORE it so then I went down a birdflash rabbit whole watch yjl pirated in Espanol dub eng sub, read more, and got familiar with DC. This fic started this all.
(also if I could continue that fic from where it left off, Barry and Bruce became revengeful and killed their sons murders this has stuck with me for years. I had a playlist for it and it's not my fic!? If Sixdimensionaldragon sees this know you started this beast and I was addicted to your fic for years.)
2. What are your favorite things about the ship
Their bond, their jokes, and the fact they are a package deal no matter what!
Fanon part, I love the amount of fics they're dating and we agreed that they'll forget to tell people and just get comfortable for shits and giggles.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have for this ship?
Not enough amvs about this ship, and Barry and iris would give out the scarier shovel talk, and that we collective don't talk about that fight scene in yjl that Wally was pissed Bec Dick was understanding he was worried about him then his souvenirs way too quickly.
(13yo me's unpopular opinion was make it canon, I thus retract that statement and will beat the living shit out of her for ever saying that. Baby DC fan or not that's stupid.)
Now I sleep.

Orbis Alius - Part 1
Young Justice is thrown headfirst into a world where the Justice League doesn't exist, the only heroes being those known as the Avengers. While investigating the strange portal that brought them there, they come across the Avengers who are not always so friendly. Will the heroes get over their animosity and work together to get Young Justice home? Or will they block the way of the young heroes, dooming them to forever be trapped in an unfamiliar world?
WC: 4460
"10 minutes till we arrive at the cave." M'gann's cheerful voice sounded through the mind link. "You know it, beautiful." Wally fiddled with his newest souvenir as he replied, his comment earning him a fond smack on the arm from Artemis and an amused look from Conner. Dick and Kaldur simply huffed in amusement. Zatanna enjoyed the sight of her relaxed teammates, laughing under her breath at their antics.
"So… the mission went well, didn't it? We killed it out there!" Wally said, placing his crossed legs atop the raised platform as he put his hands behind his head.
"If by 'killed it' you mean we caused millions of dollars worth of property damage while apprehending our target? Then yes, we killed it." Kaldur answered calmly, his eyes shining in good humor. Wally pouted at the laughter that received before letting out a chuckle himself.
"True, we did cause a lot of damage because of a certain someone." Artemis added while leaning on her armchair, looking at Wally not so discreetly.
"It's not my fault! If you hadn't iced the floor, I wouldn't have bumped into the detonator and none of the bombs would have exploded!"
"Keep telling yourself that, Wally." Artemis said lightly, feigning interest in her nails.
"Let's be grateful no civilians were injured. Plus, we caught our target, so mission success!" Dick stated with a crooked grin, satisfaction pouring off him.
"I doubt you would be saying that if you had to report it to Batman." Conner said bluntly, a faint smile on his lips. Dick gave him a sheepish laugh. M'gann quietly agreed. There were reasons she wasn't the leader, and that could be counted as one of them.
"I certainly wouldn't want to be on the other side of Batman while reporting this mission. The others? Not so much." Zatanna folded her legs, leaning back on her seat as she turned to look out the bio-ship. Her expression dropped in surprise, "M'gann! Look out!"
M'gann's focus snapped back to flying the bio-ship, jerking her to the side and dislodging her teammates from their seats. Confusion and alarm permeated the area, her teammates gathering their bearings as they prepared for battle.
"M'gann, what happened?" Kaldur asked, his tone becoming harder. She could feel his worry in the back of her mind but dismissed it, her attention focused on steering the bio-ship away from the sparking blue portal that suddenly appeared in their path.
"I cant—" M'gann grunted, urging the bio-ship to reverse. The bio-ship rumbled, conveying the fact that she couldn't turn around, the suction was too great. They were slowly being sucked into the portal, M'gann realized with dawning horror.
"I am so not feeling the aster." Dick stated, staring at the ever closer portal. Connor and Wally eyed the portal, their brains racing with ideas, some slipping unconsciously into the mindlink.
"Now is not the time for that! And you two, keep it quiet up there." Artemis shouted, clutching her extended bow tightly with one hand as she pointed at Wally and Conner. "We need to find a way to— Ack!"
Kaldur tried to grab Artemis when she fell forward, but he clutched his head in pain and fell alongside her. A disorienting feeling passed through their linked minds, thoughts and feelings melded together as a strange sensation clawed its way through them. The passage into the strange portal was rough, the bio-ship lurching at random didn't help.
M'gann's eyes widened in alarm as her teammates dropped in front of her, the pain between her brows growing steadily. She blinked rapidly trying to stay conscious, absentmindedly noting the bio-ship having the same reaction as the rest of them.
She snapped the mindlink, easing the painful feedback from her friends' minds and shielding them from the portal's assault. M'gann groaned from the focused psychic blast she siphoned from her teammates but she persevered, determined to stay conscious long enough to land the bio-ship relatively safely.
The bio-ship was spat out, hurtling through the sky at an alarming speed. M'gann coaxed the disoriented bio-ship to slow down, blinking dark spots from her eyes. The bio-ship shuddered, shaking off her dazed state to descend carefully at the beckoning of her bonded. The bio-ship skidded against the soft earth, uprooting trees and dirt. She finally slowed to a stop, surrounded by a destroyed field.
M'gann laid her head on the headrest, taking a moment to rest, her headache easing up from the departure of the portal. Thankfully, the bio-ship wasn't very hurt, just a few scrapes and scratches here and there.
Her teammates roused with groans, Kaldur waking first. He shook his head as he stood up unsteadily. M'gann rushed over, helping him up, "How are you feeling?"
"I just need a moment, I'll be fine." Kaldur said, giving M'gann a faint smile of reassurance. M'gann nodded, moving on to Zatanna and Artemis who awoke soon after. Zatanna muttered a simple spell that straightened out her clothes while Artemis collected her fallen arrows. She was thanked when she helped with the arrows before being pointed to the three unconscious boys.
M'gann put her hands to her temples, gently coaxing her last three teammates to consciousness. Zatanna and Kaldur spoke quietly, concern wafting off them in waves when Wally sprung upright, his eyes wide open. "What was that?!" He asked, turning to M'gann.
She shook her head, grabbing Conner's arm and steadying him. Dick sat crossed legged, tapping away at his gauntlet's holo computer. He frowned, curling over his wrist as he typed harder in agitation. Artemis laid a gentle hand on his shoulder and gave him a look. A chastened expression crossed Dick's face at the unworded admonishment. He straightened his back and restarted his search, "I've got bad news guys."
He captured everyone's attention, M'gann intervening to quickly state, "I'll link us up."
She gently grasped at their minds, engulfing them with her own as she'd done many times before. "Everyone online?" She asked. A chorus of affirmation sounded.
"I couldn't connect to any familiar satellites. And any search for the Justice League shows no results. Same for most major cities." Dick said. The bond was silent before it erupted into noise, a cacophony of questions assaulted the mindlink.
"Quiet! One at a time." Kaldur practically shouted. The mindlink quieted down, M'gann and her teammates sharing glances. Kaldur doesn't casually raise his voice unless they are in battle, but even then it was rare. Clearly, he was also grappling with the unpleasant news.
"Do we know where we are?" Zatanna asked, tugging on the loose threads of her vest. Dick quickly drew up a hologram globe, zooming in at his prompting.
"Long Island, New York." He answered.
"That's not too far off from the base." Conner stated, crossing his arms. M'gann glanced worriedly at him. Frustration oozed off of him alongside unease.
"True. Should we drop by? Check if the base is still standing in this world?" Artemis questioned. She shifted on her feet, resting her weight on either foot. Wally mimicked her unconsciously, paying rapt attention to the conversation. "In this world?"
"We clearly passed through a portal to another world, duh. Why else would some cities be wiped off the map? Or the Justice League not exist?"
"It is a good theory, however we need more evidence to be sure. We will check on the base, but we must be careful. There could be unseen enemies lying in wait." Kaldur said, "For now, we assess our surroundings and check to see if we landed in a secure location. Then, we will figure out how to return to our original world, if this isn't our world to begin with."
He relayed his instructions through the link. Wally zoomed away the moment the bio-ship opened, tossing "On it!" over his shoulder as he did.
"Well, there he goes." Artemis sighed, shoulding her quiver and re-extending her bow, stalking out after him. M'gann floated out of the bio-ship, instructing her to go into camouflage mode once everyone disembarked. They split ways, notifying each other whenever they found something interesting, which was rarely. It was usually a report of a startled animal or an unusual looking natural formation. They just landed in a regular forest, there was nothing special about it.
Just after Kaldur ordered them to return to the bio-ship, Conner chimed in tersely, "Aircraft approaching from the East. They don't sound very friendly." M'gann frowned and urged the others to regroup quickly. She would rather deal with the threat with her teammates than alone.
"ETA?" Dick asked. M'gann could imagine him pursing his lips like he always did when he asked that.
"10 minutes out. They'll be here soon." Conner replied. Suspicion colored his side of the link, Zatanna sending him a mental nudge to calm down in response.
M'gann arrived at the bio-ship first, flying there at top speed. Zatanna materialized with a burst of golden sparks as Wally blinked into existence beside her, a soft wind ruffling her hair. Artemis and Dick walked out the forestline while she fixed her hair. Artemis grabbed hold of Dick's cape and guided him over while he smirked at his holo computer. "These guys are good, but not good enough! I hacked into their mainframe and downloading their files now."
"Any trouble?" Zatanna questioned teasingly.
"Who do you think you're talking to? Of course I didn't!" Dick boasted, tacking on as an afterthought, "There was an attempt to counter hack but I shut that down quickly."
"Good work, Robin." Kaldur said, jogging over from behind them, Conner just a few steps behind him. "Be ready to engage, and stick to the shadows. They'll be here any minute."
"Got it." M'gann donned her hood, camouflaging herself as she flew into the trees. She felt her teammates do the same, each darting into a hiding spot.
Not even a minute later, the loud whirring of an aircraft sounded, rippling into existence. Five figures walked out of the aircraft, surveying their surroundings. M'gann examined them, one woman and four men. One was obviously an archer, similar to Artemis. He was fit and walked in step with the red-headed woman in a tight fitting suit. M'gann narrowed her eyes, that woman was dangerous, she could tell. Perhaps even on the same level as Sportsmaster.
The man in a simple suit and sunglasses exuded charisma, but her eyes were drawn to the large man with a strange hammer in his hand. He was dressed in unique armor, one she had never seen before. She sent the image to her teammates, questioning if any of them had seen clothing like that.
Wally did the equivalent of a wolf whistle in their mindlink at the sight of the red-headed woman, a barrage of annoyance from everyone but him permeated the bond before he hastily answered her inquiry. The answer was the same from all of them, that type of armor being unfamiliar to them.
"Any idea of who they are, Robin?" M'gann asked, keeping a close eye on the threats. She was too far away to hear anything but it was obvious they were looking for her team.
"And what they're saying? I can't hear anything from where I'm hiding." Wally interjected.
"Cross referencing the files I've downloaded with information on the web, it's safe to say that these are the so-called Avengers, a hero group." Dick answered.
"Avengers? What kind of name is that?" Artemis asked, bafflement coloring her tone.
"Who knows why they chose that name, but apparently, they're so far the only hero group in the world." Dick said, "They've done small missions here and there, but their introduction to the public was during an alien invasion."
"Any names?" Artemis asked.
"The red-head's Natasha Romanoff, codename Black Widow. Clint Barton, the one next to her, is Hawkeye. Both used to be assassins but were drafted into SHIELD, a shadow government agency. The one that looks like an American flag threw up all over him is Steve Rogers, Captain America. He was frozen in ice for decades and was recently defrosted. The one M'gann asked about is called Thor. The only information they have of him is that he is part of a long lived extraterrestrial race that call themselves Asgaridians."
"A shadow government." Conner remarked, unimpressed.
"Like, the gods vikings worshiped?" Wally said, confused sparking in the bond.
"As far as I can tell, yeah. The last one is called Tony Stark, billionaire named Iron Man. He controls armored suits he creates. There's one more Avenger but it doesn't seem like he came. Bruce Banner, turns into a giant green monster whenever he's angry. Huh, no wonder he didn't come. And… All their identities are public?! That's… unwise." Dick finished lamely.
"Thank you, Robin. Superboy, what do you hear?" Kaldur questioned. The strange group spread out to search the area, carrying small devices that they waved around occasionally. M'gann trained her senses on them, making sure not to lose them.
Conner replied after a couple of seconds, "They were talking about an energy spike earlier, in the ship. Said it was similar to the alien invasion Robin told us they faced." Agitation ran through him. "They were ordered to bring in whatever came through—us—with prejudice."
"Well that's not good." Zatanna shifted when an Avenger neared her area. She doubled down on her concealment spell, not willing to risk her teammates' safety.
"Would it be wise to try establishing contact?" M'gann wondered.
"I believe it would be if we at least attempted to do so. However, if it comes down to it, I believe we could best them in a fight." Kaldur projected, the confidence in his tone settled his teammates.
"Then we should do it soon, they're getting close to the bio-ship!" Artemis interjected urgently.
"Intercept them at the bio-ship, and make sure not to be seen. We don't want to tip our hand too soon." Kaldur announced, "Be on your best behavior. Making enemies out of this world's heroes is not the plan."
They quickly made their way to the bio-ship, avoiding this world's heroes along the way. M'gann paused when she flew over the one she asked about, Thor, thinking for a moment he saw her. She dismissed it when he looked around curiously, finally arriving at the bio-ship a moment later.
Her teammates organized themselves besides Kaldur, Zatanna giving her a quick nod before an Avenger appeared. The archer blinked at the sight of them, before he tapped the comm in his ear, signaling to his friends his findings.
"So, I'm presuming you're not from around here?" Artemis narrowed her eyes at Hawkeye's subtle attempt to grab an arrow from his quiver.
Kaldur stepped forward, "We are not. You are a hero of this world?"
"You could say that." Hawkeye replied, his grip deceptively loose on his bow. His eyes lingered on M'gann and Kaldur, the more obviously inhuman members. "Any chance you'll tell me why you're here?"
"Other heroes approaching." Conner stated, shifting his weight on his side.
"Stay sharp everyone. They're getting ready for a confrontation." M'gann announced, feeling her teammates subtly shift into battle positions. She transmitted the positions of the remaining Avengers.
"It wasn't willingly, I can tell you that." Wally said casually, crossing his arms. Zatanna and Conner nodded in agreement.
"So you wouldn't mind coming back with me, would you? Just a couple tests and you're good." Conner twitched. "We have regulations on this world that need to be followed."
"That's a definite no." Dick voiced, getting a chorus of agreements. None of them were willing to be taken in by the shady government that these heroes worked for. They had enough bad experiences with shady organizations as is. If it were an alternate version of the Justice League, however, that would be another story.
"I am sorry, but we don't have a guarantee that you would be true to your word." Kaldur said, a frown gracing his face.
"Well, I guess I'm sorry too." Hawkeye shot three arrows in quick succession, his teammates launching themselves from the treeline. M'gann threw two of the Avengers away from them and into the surrounding forest while Artemis and Conner dealt with the arrows. The man in the red and gold suit flew back quickly, forcing her to dodge an energy blast. She aimed, tearing the armor on his back and feet off, effectively grounding him.
Artemis' hands flew, arrows being shot in the span of a second. She forced the man with the shield back as he was focused on not being shot. In an unlucky strike for Captain America, Artemis managed to embed his foot into the ground with the arrow containing hardened foam.
Wally ran circles around Hawkeye, catching the arrows without difficulty and occasionally striking back. Whenever there was a chance, Dick threw his birdarangs, disrupting any shots that could land.
Kaldur fought with the former assassin, their blades clashing at every strike. It was clear that while Black Widow had more experience, Kaldur was more versatile in his attacks. He was slowly but steadily beating her back towards the forest line.
Conner, however, fought against the hammer wielding alien in a battle of strength. They wrestled, throwing each other into trees or pounding the other into the ground. Their fight was messy, and many of his teammates had to avoid being hit by the debris.
Zatanna assisted wherever she could, interfering in fights with handy spells, many of which gave her teammates an advantage.
Seeing that her teammates were handling themselves, M'gann focused back on her fight, redirecting any of the shots that were aimed at her. Surprisingly, he had miniature missiles stored in his armor. She easily changed their course, throwing it right back at him. He dodged with a shout, though uninjured from the explosion. His thick armor shielded him.
M'gann's eyes glowed bright green, her hands outstretched as her telekinesis held Iron Man in place. She was prepared to forcefully lull him to sleep when she felt a sharp pain in her back. She fell from the sky, her grasp on Iron Man fading.
"M'gann!" "Miss Martian!"
Strong arms held her gently before she hit the ground. A white shirt tucked into a yellow vest let her know Zatanna had saved her. She let out a groan as she tried to sit up, pain assaulting her at the sudden movement.
"M'gann, are you alright?" Dick asked worriedly, covering Wally's inattention by throwing a birdarang at the archer. Concern flooded the bond, her teammates distraught.
"I'm… fine." She gritted out. "What hit me?"
"Captain America's shield." Artemis answered coldly. Now, there was anger coursing through her end of the bond. She cocked an arrow, letting it fly towards the target of her wrath. He barely managed to dodge, breaking through the hardened foam in a hurry. A purple bruise colored the side of his temple, her intended target being his face.
Conner let out a roar, throwing Thor across the clearing. He landed hard on Captain America, rolling a couple times from the force of Conner's strength.
"We need to finish this. Now." Kaldur grunted, a kick from Black Widow knocking him back a step. He recovered quickly, whipping his water hammer against her side and sending her flying into her teammates. She landed in the pile with a gasp. Only two more left.
"On it, boss." Dick smirked, throwing an explosive birdarang to disorient Hawkeye. Wally quickly knocked Hawkeye out with a hand chop to the neck while he was distracted looking for Dick. He grabbed an arrow from the unconscious archer's quiver, chirping "Souvenir!"
"Dnib meht ot eht dnuorg." Zatanna chanted, shadows clinging to a struggling Iron Man and the rest of his teammates. The shadows forced them to kneel, and eventually secured the team to the earth. Despite their struggles and curses, they couldn't break free from the mass of shadows binding them.
"Good going, Zee." M'gann complimented. Her teammates echoed her sentiments.
"He's trussed up like a pig!" Wally laughed, zipping closer to tease the older man. Tony Stark glared at him but couldn't say anything, his mouth bound shut tightly.
M'gann stood up slightly unsteadily but straightened herself. She needed to make sure the Avengers wouldn't follow them, at least for the time being. She lifted her arms towards them and grasped at their minds. Gently, she sifted through them, plucking information her teammates would be interested in and letting it flow into her mindlink.
Once she was finished, she lulled them to sleep. The humans easily dropped, though Thor fought valiantly, thrashing against his bonds. She poured more energy into her persuasion and eventually, his movements slowed as his eyes drooped, finally falling asleep.
"You did good, but don't strain yourself, M'gann." Kaldur placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezing gently. M'gann nodded, sending her gratitude to him through their link.
"Now that they're dealt with, we should go. There's likely more people that were sent to capture us. I doubt it would be only them." Dick said, picking up stray birdarangs and placing them in his utility belt.
"If it was, I would be worried about this world's defenses." Conner spoke up, picking at the new tears in his shirt.
Artemis nodded, "Call the bio-ship and let's check Happy Harbor, if it even exists."
M'gann closed her eyes, reaching out with her mind. The bio-ship was not too far away, still in camouflage mode. She nudged the bio-ship, grabbing her attention with their signature call. The bio-ship knew how to differentiate her calls and answered in kind, taking off the cloaking as she approached them. Her scarlet hull opened, stairs forming before them.
They quickly entered the bio-ship, M'gann assuming the seat she was previously in. She set course for Happy Harbor, Rhode Island. The team took the flight as time to recuperate from the fight and eat some snacks stored in the camouflaged bio-ship.
The bio-ship circled above Rhode Island before landing behind the mountain, out of sight from civilians. They disembarked, and walked along the side of the mountain. Dick tapped furiously on his holo computer, occasionally looking up and frowning at the mountain.
"Nothing." He said, his hand clenching into a fist. "No servers. No systems. Not even the Watchtower's signal! This is just a regular mountain!"
"This really is another world." Zatanna wrapped her hands around herself. Artemis placed a hand on her shoulder, her expression determined. "We'll find a way home. We always do, right guys?"
"Right." Kaldur straightened himself, a driven edge in his voice. "We need to find a place to use as a base. Then, we figure out how to track the portals and who's behind them."
His team nodded, invigorated by their leader's confidence.
"We can try a nearby city. There should be enough abandoned buildings compared to the nearby town." Wally shared.
"Plus, we would be more anonymous in a crowded city compared to a small town, no?" M'gann stated, floating slightly.
Conner tilted his head, his eyes unfocused. "The closest city should be that way, not too far." He pointed north.
They filed into the bio-ship, shielding it from view once they were in the air, and sped off to the nearest city. The flight was fast, they arrived only 15 minutes later. Dick flew through satellite images of the city and noted the different boroughs. He steered them towards the outskirts of the city, near a warehouse district.
"We should probably change first." Wally said suddenly, turning into a blur before he appeared in his civilian clothes.
M'gann knocked herself on the temple, morphing herself to look like an average human girl. "Hello Megan! I knew we were forgetting something."
"Right, we don't want them tracking us through cameras and such." Zatanna quickly uttered a spell, changing her and Artemis' clothes.
Conner simply turned his shirt inside out, earning a few looks of appreciation in the process. Kaldur and Dick, however, had to grab their spare civilian clothing from the storage room of the bio-ship. They swiftly changed and rejoined their team.
Kaldur zipped up his sweater as he reentered the room, "Have you found a suitable building?"
M'gann nodded, "I've searched the area for any signs of life and there are no humans in the area. We should be safe here."
"For now. Who knows when those heroes will try to find us again." Artemis muttered, a scowl on her face.
"We will just have to ensure they will not." Kaldur said, "Dick, make sure to scrub any trace of us off their databases and any cameras. Zatanna, use your magic to make us and our base untrackable. Artemis, Wally, set up the perimeter of our base. Conner, alert us if you hear anything. And M'gann, redirect anybody who wanders close."
The team got to work, choosing an unoccupied warehouse and constructing a defense system as quickly as they could. M'gann moved the bio-ship inside the large warehouse, she couldn't risk anyone coming across her.
Soon, they finished their tasks, Zatanna warding the warehouse to be properly concealed. They piled into their current base. Wally zipped around, pausing to cough from the dust.
Besides how dust-filled the warehouse was, it was surprisingly well maintained. It held boxes of furniture and many types of supplies they could use. It was simple to create a small set up for Dick to connect to the internet, him and M'gann working together to scrap together a computer from random parts and connect it to a local network.
Artemis and Kaldur helped clean up the dust and dispose of it outside the building while Wally and Conner unloaded the supplies from the bio-ship. They cornered off a part of the warehouse to become the sleeping quarters and another as a makeshift kitchen. Zatanna meanwhile worked on small charms she was carving out on some wood she found, making one for each of her team members.
Dick called for the team to gather, holding a cobbled together device. It connected to his gauntlet through a wire extension.
"What is that?" Zatanna asks, tilting her head.
"I haven't come up with a name for it yet but it records the energy signature from the portal and scans for any matching ones that appear around the world." Dick pointed the device at Artemis, a blue light moving over her body once before disappearing. The device dinged, a green pop up emerged on Dick's holo computer. It read 'SCAN COMPLETE'.
"Neat!" Wally exclaimed, the girls humming in agreement.
Kaldur questioned, "How will we know if another portal appears?"
"Oh, that's simple. It will—" The device letting out a shrill, vibrating ring as it turned an alarming red, "—do that."

I would make one myself but I suck at editing

Batfam Reacting to S/O Turning into a Robin HC (Request)
Tumblr media
So this entire thing happens because you and Bruce were fighting Circe who just had to throw a spell at a civilian
You jump in front of the spell and catch it, taking the blow
This means that on site, you turn into a Robin
Wtf
Bruce is big mad now since now he thinks that you could be a Robin for the rest of your life and that’s just not cool
The moment that the fight is over, he calls in everyone from the league
Z, Constantine, Dr. Fate, Zatara, Wonder Woman, the whole lot
Once they find out what happens there’s a worry but eventually they find that it’s going to be alright and you’ll change back within the next 72 hours or so
72 HOURS
Bruce just simply cannot wait that long
he doesn’t know what to do with a bird like
ALFRED
They make sure to not try and feed you anything that’s too disgusting that you wouldn’t normally eat
No worms
That would be gross
Bruce does find it kind of funny that you turn into a Robin and not something else
So happy it wasn’t a bat
You’d get mixed and lost with the rest of them in the cave and that would be weird
Plus there’s a high chance that you’d just fall from the ceiling
Once you finally detransform from the entire debacle, Bruce is very happy to have you back
Gets special charms from Z and Constantine that repel bad magic back onto the user
Ensures that something like this doesn’t happen again
Dick Grayson:
Tumblr media
This man does not know what to do
It’s a run in with Witch Boy that causes this to happen
Z!!!!!!
That’s the first person that he calls
Wally is really the one that takes you back to him since Dick wasn’t on this mission but you and Wally were leading it
You jumped in front of one of the newer recruits and that’s how that happened
Does this entire experience count as a souvenir?
Like maybe he just takes a feather that you drop or something and like SOUVENIR OF THAT ONE TIME THAT Y/N TURNED INTO A ROBIN
After the initial freak out mode, he just thinks that it’s kind of funny that it was a Robin
Z said that the spell was the wrong spell (thankfully) and you’d only turn into something that you loved for a little while
RObin yOU TuRNeD InTO A RoBIn
And that makes Dick a blushing mess
Once you finally do turn back, he teases you
Your most important question is did you eat anything gross
The answer was no but still
Trust issues
he does mention what the spell was and that lead to some blushing
Jason Todd:
Tumblr media
This was the last thing that he had planned
The absolute last thing
On a mission that involved some weird magic stuff, you just happened to get turned into a Robin
What the literal hell is happening now
The first instinct is to see that it’s really you
Once you understand that you’re a Robin, you’re just like, oh, so this is happening now
And that’s just how it is, you fly up onto his shoulder and just run with it
Just sitting there like it’s no one’s business cause it isn’t
If anyone asks why there’s a Robin following, it’s just what’s happening now
He is concerned that you don’t turn into a human again
So he does make sure to ask and this time, it needs a counter spell
Z is the one to do this since Jason isn’t keen on trusting Constantine
Doesn’t take super long to do this since Z is already very powerful
We Stan a powerful helpful queen
So Jason goes to one of her shows and sneaks back stage still in the Red Hood uniform and explains what happens
Z just goes ahead, sets you on the floor, and does the transformation
It was really easy, not to painful, but it was weird to just be laying on the floor and not able to fly
You’ll only miss that part
Jason doesn’t miss any of it and still jokes about the fact that you were a Robin
“Babe at least you didn’t blow up in your time being Robin.”
JASON PETER TODD
Tim Drake:
Tumblr media
So you turn into a Robin on a mission with the team
He was on this mission and watched the entire thing go down
The funny part was that you could still talk since the magic was somewhat incomplete
There’s just this small voice “WHAT THE HELL!”
And then Tim knows that it’s definitely you
Tim was going to take you to one of the magic users in the league
but since Diana was right there when you got back, you stormed up flew up to her and just mouthed off
“DIANA LOOK AT ME! THAT ASSHOLE CIRCE TURNED ME INTO A ROBIN! THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH ROBIN BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE ROBIN! WATCHA LOOKIN AT BATS! I’M NOT UP FOR ADOPTION!”
Tim just died laughing
Cause it really was funny that you were just a little tiny Robin and mouthing off at the most powerful heroes in the world
Recorded it 100%
When Diana takes you to Themyscira in order to get one of the Amazon’s to help, Tim obviously couldn’t come
So it’s about a three day long trip and during that period, Timmy is a mess
He needs to know what’s happening at all times to ensure that you’re alright
When you do finally get home, he tackles you into a hug and checks you up and down to make sure that there’s nothing still wrong
Very happy when he concludes that there’s nothing wrong anymore and you’re back to the regular Y/N
Damian Wayne:
Tumblr media
His first instinct is to not let anyone touch you but him
He takes you everywhere and makes sure that you’re alright
You can’t talk but he’s helped birds before and has dated you for some time so he knows what no to do and what to do
That being said, he does want you back to normal ASAP
That means that he’ll call an emergency league meeting without Bruce’s approval
Although Bruce probably would have done the same thing since he really knows that Damian loves you and would make sure that you’re alright
That’s super important to him and the rest of the family since you are kind of family at this point
Damian insists that the magic users help turn you back very quickly
They call in Constantine since Z is off doing other things and he makes sure that he knows exactly what happens
Constantine has had some bad experiences with magic in the past and he wants to be sure that you’re not going to have anything really bad happen to you
Damian is the same way
Probably threatens John’s life if something goes wrong
Once you’re finally back, Damian also tackles you
Though Constantine has to hold him back at first since the shock of turning back and then having someone tackle you to the ground would be over whelming
But when he finally can, he does
Checks you over just like Tim and then doesn’t let you out of his sight for a week or so
It’s not that he doesn’t trust you, just not anyone else
He makes it a point that you’re too important to lose
Cuddles everywhere
Once he does step back and think about it though, he finds it kind of endearing that there are thousands of other things that you could’ve turned into but it was a Robin
It was sweet but didn’t need to last longer than it had to
Duke and Luke:
I’m putting these guys together since in my mind they’re pretty alike
Luke is the classical version of Duke and Duke is the Lofi/ alternative hip hop version of Luke
For these reasons they both have very similar reactions
And that would be to freak out
they take you to Bruce and get advice cause what is going on
They don’t have as much of a connection with the Robin deal since they weren’t ever technically Robin for Batman
Duke is a bit more of an arguable case but still
They do find it both suspicious and a bit comedic that it was a Robin out of anything else though
I have to say that they’re the most chill out of any of the Batfam when it comes to something like this since this kind of thing just happens a lot
Not turning into Robin, just weird outta pocket experiences
Like this is just another thing to add to the list of oh here we go again
Duke does think that you’re still really a pretty Robin
In the most non- weird way possible you’re just a pretty Robin
Luke doesn’t really pay attention to that and instead wants to get to the bottom of what happened so that it doesn’t happen again
They’re both really smart so they’ll figure it out but at different paces since one is more urgent than the other
Doesn’t mean that either care less though
Once you’re back they do make sure that extra diagnostics are run to make sure that nothing was effected and you’ll be okay long and short term
Once they’re satisfied it’ll all go back to being pretty normal
Sry this took so long, exams are running wild

What would be the Bendy cast's dream summer holiday?
Dream summer holiday you say? -cracks knuckles- I'll give it my best shot.
Joey Drew - Finally go to the Bahamas. Amazing islands with great beaches and spectacular coral reefs? This man wants to go scuba diving so bad it makes him look stupid... Also no one's going to find him when there's so many places to hide.
Henry Stein - Go camping with his wife and daughters. He knows some good spots up in the Appalachian mountains. Just them and nature... No weird machines that can summon inky devils. What more can you ask for?
Linda Stein - She's not picky when it comes to how she and her family spend their vacations. As long as everyone can unwind she's up for anything. Variety is a must tho, doing the same thing every year gets a little stale.
Sammy Lawrence - He never got to go to Coney Island so he'll likely look into finding the closest thing to it as possible. Maybe goes to Disney World out of pure spite. Overall just wants to have one day where decorum and appearances mean nothing. Deserves a break from being the guy with the stick up his ass.
Jack Fain - Traveling abroad is a big vacation goal for him. Call him cheesy but there's something about going to tourist attractions with the husband that feels really romantic to him. They're making memories together!
Susie Campbell - She's not one for big glamorous vacations. Just wants a couple of days to herself, maybe go to the beach to work on her tan, and overall just has a good couple of "Me" days. Might go to flea markets to get some goodies. She's treating herself!
Norman Polk - Look me in the eye and tell me he wouldn't travel to Paris specifically to sneak into the Parisian catacombs... Sends everyone the ugliest postcards he can find.
Allison Pendle - She'd invest to either go on an amazing tour of the Amazon forest, or a safari trip in Africa. As someone who appreciates the realm of the supernatural, Allison strikes me as someone who'd want to take a break through the natural.
Thomas Connor - Wherever Allison goes, he goes. All of their photos are mostly just Tom grumpily scowling at the camera while holding souvenirs, or laying in the hotel bed looking miserable because of mosquito bites. He's not a big vacation person but he'll endure it since his wife is really enjoying herself. He's honestly just glad to be away from other people.
Wally Franks - Disney World with the family. You can't tell me Wally wouldn't plan a massive trip for his entire family and all his friends. It's always a party with the Franks, and it's also likely someone's going to get arrested.
Shawn Flynn - Goes on a week-long hiking trip. Very big on photographing the journey, but the pictures aren't of the spectacular views or local fauna. Its just weirdly shaped rocks he finds that he thought were pretty neat.
Grant Cohen - Vacations are expensive. He'd rather just stay home and maybe sleep for an entire week or so. Seems like the type to turn on the radio and just get lost in cheesy radio-dramas.
Buddy Lewek - His family has never really had money for big vacations, so he'd do something like camping. Whether or not it's indoors or outdoors depends on how eager he is about the whole thing. Mostly he just wants to spend a bit of time reading and drawing without being disturbed.
Dot - She spends an entire month on a family trip to all the oddball tourist traps they can find. Writes about these family vacations and takes fun photos. Her favourite trip was to a UFO fanatic town. The people were quirky but polite and welcoming.
Abby Lambert - Travels to France to go see the Mona Lisa. Does some sight-seeing and ends up painting the view from her hotel balcony. Sends Henry a little Eiffel Tower statuette and a card with a charcoal illustration. Likely runs into Norman at some point.
Doc Hackenbush - Volunteers to do veterinary work at a zoo for an entire month. Gets up close and personal with some of the most magnificent animals the world has ever seen. It's a humbling experience for a vet like him.
Bertrum Piedmont - Is taken against his will on a fishing trip by Lacie. He's initially grumpy about it, but relaxes once he realizes how calming it is. Eating a big fat meal of fish has never tasted better, especially after catching it himself.
Lacie Benton - Goes on a month-long fishing trip with Bertrum. Inheriting her uncle's boat has it's perks, especially when she feels it's time she and her best friend need some time alone from the idiots at JDS.
Emma LaMonte - A trip back to England every year keeps the homesickness away. Spends that time with family and friends, and is very private about it.
Detective Sinclair - When you're an old detective like him most days are a vacation anyway. Work can be quite scarce. Doesn't really care for long frivolous trips anyway. Hitting the local bar or catching the latest baseball game is good enough for him.
Nathan Arch - Hasn't had a vacation in years and doesn't plan on it anytime soon. His health wouldn't allow him either way...
Nathan Arch Jr - Spends a maximum of two week in a cheap ocean themed motel, just to be alone with his thoughts. It's become a bit of a ritual and the motel owner always saves him the same room. Despite the tacky decoration it's the only time he ever feels relaxed and content in the entirety of the year.

DAY 88, 89. Oct 28 and 29. Crete, Greece 🇬🇷
Today we all took it slow after a long and busy day yesterday in Athens. It was raining quite a bit and it felt nice to stay in and be cozy. We decided to stay and enjoy the villa and spend time together playing banana grams and rummy and watching some shows and just being with one another. Later that day the Chels Kristie Nat Jess and Kathy went to Rethymno and just cruised through the shops and got some more souvenirs for friends and family. It was nice to just stroll and be out and about and then we stopped and had a sweet treat some crepes and they were very yummy!
Tumblr media
Back at home the boys and T were all hanging with Wally and also starting dinner the made pizza in the pizza oven and James made garlic bread. The ladies got back and kathy made a green salad and chels made a Cretan salad with toasted bread on bottom and cucumber tomato olives and feta on top. All the food was delicious! We ate together and finished my big fat Greek weeding!
Tumblr media
Day 89
Rainy day again today chels went for a rainy run and had a blast then we all ate a late breakfast and got ready to go and get covid tests for all of them for their flight tomorrow 😭 Sam found a pharmacy that did it and we watched as everyone got the qtip shoved way up there noses! Wally was a champ! Then we waited as the man wrote out everyone’s paper work for proof for the flight. We then headed to the grocery store because our fam wanted to get some last minute food souvenirs 🤣 then headed back to the villa and at some lunch!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We played more games together and some of our fam started to pack their bags for tomorrow. Tonight was our last dinner together and chels found a spot in Rethymno called 7 Thalasses and it was a lovely spot we sat outside with the view of the ocean right by us and the inside was so beautiful too! We all got delicious entrees and they even had sushi here! It was amazing food and a lovely atmosphere. We all went around the table saying our rose and thorn of the trip and it was so lovely to hear all the wonderful time and memories we had made together as a family. We are so thankful our family could come on this trip and experience a piece of the world with us and we loved sharing the adventure with them all!

Crime sorciere headcanons please??? At least one per character
I mean, maybe anon. Maybe, but you'll have to ask nicer than that 😘😉
Racer absolutely hates any mode of transportation, he refuses to get on anything that goes slower than him. He'd rather run everywhere even at the expense of tiring himself out from magical exhaustion. Getting him on any vehicle is hell.
He also refuses to wear any sort of loose or baggy clothing. Says it will slow him down and something else about wind resistance. God he's so extra.
Cobra collects snakes, mostly venomous ones of course since he's immune to the poison but for some reason the snakes are all real calm around him and never get agitated.
He has also, somehow, trained them which under the command of someone with his sense of humour has led to many heart attacks of others.
Richard mostly leads a comfortable home life after finding his brother Wally. Though he has started to chronicle his exploits from when he was apart of Oracion Seis. Whether or not he'll publish them is a different story.
Richard has almost completely stopped using his magic, really having no need for it most times. Only when he's gardening does he use it on occasion.
Sorano shows up randomly in fiore to whisk away Yukino to travel together. She is rather pushy about these trips but her heart's in the right place at least.
While on her travels she got another tattoo of angel wings taking up most of her upper back and shoulders. She is an angel and she will commit to the imagery.
Macbeth isn't prone to his bouts of randomly falling asleep anymore. Well as much. He can still fall asleep while standing which gets a bit awkward on his travels.
He searched high and low but god was he determined to find back another flying carpet and he definitely did.
After everything calmed down Meredy and Ultear moved in together. Jellal technically lives with them but he still travels a lot trying to fix things so he isn'f home much (just because he's officially pardoned doesn't mean he's completely pardoned himself. He still has things he wants to work out within himself before he feels he's ready to settle somewhere).
Just because she's elderly now doesn't mean she's lost her spark. She swindles vendors at the market to lower prices or give her stuff for free. Being an old lady has its perks indeed.
Meredy is also apart of the swindle because an old lady and her sweet granddaughter are a hard pair to deny at cafés and restaurants when they happen to be a little short on cash to completely fill the bill.
When Jellal drops by he always brings back a souvenir for them. He doesn't know when he picked up the habit but bringing back something from where he's been makes him feel happy because even though the three of them don't travel anymore carrying back a token with a story to tell keeps them included on his journeys. At least to him anyways.

My Complete List of DC Headcanons (mostly batfamily)
One of the robins once programmed the watchtower to play ‘cops’ whenever a lantern walked into the room.
No matter how badly the bats are getting along, everyone always goes to Cass’s dance recitals. (she either does ballet or breakdancing, take your pick)
Tim and Damian once teamed up to prank the rest of the family. The only reason they did this was to prove Jason wrong when he said they couldn’t work together.
The titans have had full-on battles over who gets to babysit Lian
Jason does community theatre.
Babs and kori get together all the time to hang out/gossip, kori will even take babs flying sometimes.
Selina and Damian have raided a puppy mill together at least once.
The justice league once made a PSA on everyday heroes such as nurses and firefighters. This video is regularly shown in elementary schools.
Dick teaches everyone he considers family how to fly. Cass is the best at it out of the bats.
The bats have a contact who travels through realities. This contact smuggled them a copy of the LEGO Batman movie.
Jason gets a dog and the amount of time Damian spends with him triples overnight.
Tim has a collection of cheesy souvenir mugs from places he’s been on missions.
Damian has the best singing voice of his siblings. Followed by Tim. Dick is good when he wants to be but is usually really off-key.
Dick and Wally have a YouTube channel as Nightwing and the Flash and it’s full of shenanigans. They do a lot of stupid stuff, pranks, and a couple of dance routines.
Jason eventually has to get hearing aids because of all the gunshots and explosions he’s been so close to.
Damian had a close-up magic phase.
Dick absolutely rocked his school talent show.
Wally will go to the central rouges for relationship advice.
When duke first moved in he stuck close to Cass because he thought she was the least chaotic, only to find out she was the most feral out of everyone.
All Red Robins in Gotham give Red Robin free food.
Bruce still visits Harvey Dent in Arkham.
The justice league once held a super smash bros tournament.
The young justice team has a karaoke night and invited Steph to join one time. She agrees and when it’s her turn to sing she announces she chose a song based on real events and starts singing He Likes Boys.
Damian has a flock of crows that follow him around since he feeds them so often. They follow him as robin too and it freaks criminals out. 
Alfred keeps a folder of the various birthday, father’s day, and even mother’s day cards he’s gotten over the years. 
One time Clark had to drive home a bunch of drunk teens hanging out in Pa’s cornfield. They claimed they were trying to be abducted by aliens.

Dc heros having a social media presence because of a slow crime night or nothing at all is just beautiful.
You got Hal over here with the younger heros just throwing shade at villains.
Joker is just a free targets for bats to talk that mad shit about it, and nobody except for Punchline would take up for the clown who brought shame to all in gotham.
Harley also join in with the bats.
Barry would show his science fanboy to millions, Hal will tease him and get a million "meet me at a denny's parking lot" from fans.
Bruce just fucks with his followers posting like "10035211" for no reason but see people try to find a meaning in nothing.
Bruce also tweets out random pics of his teammates with him all grumpy in the corner of the photo with captions being like in his famous picture of him in the corner of the pic and clark talking about something and the captions are "@/LutherOfficial can you build a mute button for the annoying alien..." And the like.
Diana has a low profile on social media but when she tweets the fans acts like she's water in a desert and they drink that shit up even if it's just "Batman where are you?"
Clark does goof around on his page but mostly he post about saving earth by going for more earth friendly ways, and he shows so passively aggressively shows people how easy it is to recycle... He also recycled lex once but we don't talk about that.
Damian only post about Animals and his demonic pet.
Dick post only basic bitch butt pics do not tell me he wouldn't because he would.
Tim be making threads about the shitty behavior people in power have.
Jason post one bathroom pic shirtless asking if his scars are ugly and gain a thirsty following. We are talking about him passing up batman himself and yes he pours lemon in those wounds.
Duke has a thread about burger chains he likes. He's is wholesome because he wants it to be, his official civilian account is where he goes wild.
Wally west i and ii both have souvenir tours
Bart and Thad share one account because Bart beg for it and Thad wanted it to be pretends he hates it.
Cassandra posted a video of spoiler saying she's a lesbian and a very tired Tim says the famous lines "lesbian I thought you were american" vine never died it just became Cass.
Stephanie lives to her name and spoils shit for that aesthetic brand.
Kon and Jon had a sibling fight between their account and Kara had to stop them.
Bats had a fight two but it's so often it's nothing special. Oh red hood called Nightwing a hoe, what's new?
Roy is just as much as a dad on real his account, he just doesn't mention her name.
Lex posted his plan to twitter and Superman retweeted it Saying "this is twitter not the dark web lex" in which embarrassed the villain.
Lex ask for Superman the childs support for their son.
Their "son" ask publicly for 20 bucks and got shot down by both of them, however his rich leather egg lookin' boyfriend lend him that 20.
Jon and Dami talking through twitter is so cute everyone talks about them.
Donna just tells everyone that Nightwing is an annoy prick and nobody believes her sadly and he annoys her with that. Sibling from another family bs.
Auther is that surfer dad.
Garth and kaldur just vibin' with their brain cells their teammates don't have because they took them.
Nobody knows if raven is mentally okay or just sharing some poetry that slaps.
Starfire is a target for how she dress showing... Skin... She is a bad bitch and savagely answer the sexism with replies that are facts. Her body her choice.
That's all I have for now but the ideas do be flowing

Smoke and Mirrors
Dramatis Personae
Wally West, the energetic, enthusiastic, and confident third Flash
Iris Allen, the wife of Barry Allen and a daredevil reporter
Mirror Master, alias Sam Scudder, a talented inventor and the de facto second-in-command of the Rogues
The Top, alias Roscoe Dillon, an arrogant elitist who is suffering from a mysterious disease
Weather Wizard, alias Mark Mardon, a rather dimwitted thief with an obscenely powerful weapon, the weather wand
The Trickster, alias James Jesse, a charming con man with no fashion sense
Script
Act I
(Enter Wally West and Iris Allen, who has just arrived to the Flash Airport of Central City)
Wally: Hi, Aunt Iris! How have you been? It’s so nice to have you back!
Iris: Hi, Wally. It’s good to be back. How’s your Uncle Barry been?
Wally: He’s been great. Really slow since he lost his super speed, of course, but otherwise, he’s fine. He even took down the Trickster all by himself!
Iris: I heard. It made a great story. (Pause) How have he and Bart been doing since I went on my trip?
Wally: Bart’s still really impulsive, and he scared Uncle Barry half to death when he ran to New York City and watched an off-off-Broadway show without telling anyone, but overall he’s been doing great. Uncle Barry enrolled him in sixth grade and he’s become friends with this girl named Carol and this boy named Preston, and he’s finally kind of adjusting to life outside the speed force. He’s still not crazy about Irey and Jai, though-he thinks they’re annoying tagalongs. Oh, and he discovered anchovy pizza for the first time, and, for some reason, he loves it! He’s eaten 45 slices in the past two days, and Uncle Barry says that he thinks he’ll single-handedly keep the neighborhood pizza place in business. (Pause) How was your trip?
Iris: I loved it! There’s nothing quite like the thrill of investigating the government of Kandaq.
Wally: But isn’t Kandaq led by Black Adam?
Iris: Yes. That’s why it was so much fun to investigate what he’s been up to! Before I did some snooping around, no one knew what he was doing because everyone was too scared to check, so I was able to write the biggest exposé of my career and take down a supervillain at the same time. It was awesome! I even got to interview Captain Marvel after he rescued me from Black Adam.
Wally: No wonder you won a Pulitzer. (Pause) So, besides risking your life, did you do anything else in Kandaq? I’ve heard it has delicious food.
Iris: (Laughs) Of course you would focus on the food.
Wally: Well, is it as good as Dick told me?
Iris: Actually, yes. The spices in particular are delicious-and unique to the country, too!
Wally: I’ll be right back. (Wally exits, then rapidly re-enters) That was delicious!
Iris: That’s my Wally. (Pause) And to finish answering your question, besides eating and investigating, I did a lot of sightseeing and even more souvenir-buying.
Wally: Sounds fun!
Iris: It was. (Pause) And in speaking of souvenirs….. (Pulls t-shirt out of bag) This is for you.
Wally: (takes shirt, reads) “I stood in the presence of the all-powerful Black Adam and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” (Laughs) Thanks, Aunt Iris! I love it!
Iris: I thought you might. I also got a doll of Isis for Irey, a book on Kandaq’s history for Jai, a longer book on the same subject for your Uncle Barry, a necklace for Linda, a fan for Joan, a scrapbook for Jay, and Captain Marvel’s signature and promise to visit our house for Bart.
Wally: Sweet! (Pause) Do you have all your bags?
Iris: Yes, I do.
Wally: Then let’s get you home! (Pause, then in “official” voice) The West Delivery Service will get you there in three seconds, or your money back!
Iris: (Laughs) Definitely my Wally.
(Both Exit)
Act II
(Top is onstage, sitting at table and talking on the phone)
Top: (on the phone) Greetings, my darling. How are you? (Pause) Excellent. I’m glad to hear it. How fares the mission? (Pause) What sort of complications? You know as well as I do that I haven’t much time. If you do not find a cure soon, my powers will quite literally be the death of me. We do not have time for failure! (Pause) I’m sorry, honeybunch. I did not mean to snap at you. I am simply anxious. Even I cannot come out on top in a battle with the grave. (Pause) Of course I trust you, sweetums. Remember though, my darling, if my calculations are correct, I only have a month left. We must get the cure! (Pause) Well that, at least, is good news. If Allen likes you, it will not be long before he is willing to trust you enough to help you find the cure. (Pause) I love you, dearest. Farewell. (Puts phone away and puts on earmuffs) And now to enjoy my meal in peace.
(Enter Trickster, Mirror Master, and Weather Wizard)
Weather Wizard: So, how’d you guys find me?
Trickster: It’s simple, Wiz! We followed the reports of snowstorms in July.
Mirror Master: You aren’t exactly subtle, Mardon.
Weather Wizard: Fair enough. I guess being able to control the weather doesn’t leave much room for subtlety. (Pause) So, what do you two want?
Mirror Master: Your help. If there’s anyone who can keep the Flash away from our heists, it’s you. You’re more powerful than all of us-even me.
Weather Wizard: I know.
Trickster: And you’re modest, too.
Weather Wizard: Hey, if you could control the weather with a flick of the wrist, you’d be a little arrogant, too.
Trickster: Fair enough. (Pause) Say, last I heard, your wand was busted. How’d you get it working again?
Weather Wizard: (Defensively) None of your business. I just did, okay?
Trickster: (Suspiciously) Oh, really? Then let me see the wand.
Weather Wizard: No! You can’t touch it!
Trickster: Why not?
Weather Wizard: Because it’s mine, and you aren’t gonna touch it!
Trickster: (Grabs wand) Too late! I already have it!
Weather Wizard: Give it back! (Tries to grab wand, but fails and falls on his face)
Trickster: All right, Mr. Weather Wand. Make it rain! Bippity boppity boo! (Waves wand, nothing happens) That’s funny. I thought you said you fixed the wand, Wiz.
Weather Wizard: (Gets to his feet and grabs the wand back) Okay, so I exaggerated about being able to fix it. I’ve used the weather wand long enough that I was able to do a patch job and get it to make some snow, but it’s pretty much useless for any other form of weather. I can’t even make it whip up a decent blizzard!
Mirror Master: All you can make is snow? (Trickster notices the Top)
Weather Wizard: (Weakly) Yeah.
Mirror Master: Well, that’s just great. Here I was thinking that we had tornadoes, lighting, and hail on our side, and all we have is a glorified snow machine! (Pause) And when were you planning on mentioning the fact that you can’t make anything but snow, anyway? When the Flash showed up to take us to jail?
Weather Wizard: Well, to be honest, I hadn’t really thought out that far. I was trying to save face, not come up with a battle plan.
Mirror Master: (Despondently) There goes my Ferrari.
Trickster: Don’t give up on the Ferrari just yet, Sam! I have a way to salvage our heist!
Mirror Master: James, I already told you. I am not going to use a “whoopie cushion of doom” to stop the Flash. Unlike you, I have some dignity.
Trickster: First, the Whoopie Cushion of Doom is high comedy, and you should be honored that I offered to let you use it. Second, that’s not it.
Mirror Master: Then what is it?
Trickster: It’s the Top! He’s sitting right over there! (Points to Top)
Mirror Master: (Surprised) So he is.
Weather Wizard: What’s he doing here? I thought he and Golden Glider were in Hawaii on the fifth anniversary of their first date or something.
Mirror Master: Who knows with those two. Maybe they came home early.
Trickster: Came home early ? They never went ! They’ve been in Central City this whole time!
Weather Wizard: They have? But then why did they tell everyone that they were on vacation?
Mirror Master: Probably so they could spend time together without Captain Cold breathing down their necks. Given how overprotective he is, if I was dating Lisa, I would probably pretend to be out of the city, too. It’s hard to have romantic moments when you know that her big brother’s watching and will maim you if you look at her funny.
Trickster: Nah, that’s not it. If Roscoe was afraid of Captain Cold, he wouldn’t challenge his authority all the time. I think they’re planning something, something they want to keep secret from the rest of us, and I want to find out what it is. (Taps Top on shoulder) Hiya, Top!
Top: (Takes off earmuffs; Aside) Why me? (To Trickster) What do you want?
Trickster: Well, Mirror Master wants a Ferrari, and I want some excitement, so we need your help to rob the jewelry store on Fifth and Main.
Top: I am afraid that you will be disappointed. I am quite busy, and am being pressed to the top of my bent. I have no time for frivolities, Giovanni.
Weather Wizard: Giovanni? Who’s Giovanni?
Trickster: Me.
Mirror Master: You gave the Top an alias when he asked for your real name?
Trickster: (“Offended”) No! I’d never do anything like that! (Pause) I didn’t give him an alias when he asked for my real name. I gave you two an alias!
Weather Wizard: Your real name’s Giovanni?  
Trickster: Yep! Giovanni Giuseppi. My family is Italian.
Mirror Master: Then why do you always go by James Jesse?
Trickster: Because Jesse was our family’s stage name from the circus. Since we used an alias in our performances, I got used to being called James, so I eventually decided to just start using it as my regular name. Besides, it’s easier to say than Giovanni Giuseppi.
Mirror Master: Well, whoever you are, clearly, your plan failed. Dillon doesn’t want to get involved in our plan, and so it’ll be a bust.
Trickster: (Aside) Oh, ye of little faith. (To Mirror Master) I’ll be able to get him to come around. Trust me.
Mirror Master: Forgive me if I’m less than convinced. (Trickster walks over to Top)
Trickster: (To Top) What if I told you that there would be something in it for you?
Top: I would still refuse. As I already told you, I am quite preoccupied. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going home.
Trickster: (Stopping Top) Top, old buddy, just hear me out. If you don’t like it, I promise you can leave, but you’ve gotta at least learn what it is.
Top: We are not “old buddies”, but, since you seem determined to annoy me until I listen to what you have to say, I suppose I will give in to the inevitable and allow you to speak. But be quick about it. I am giving you five minutes- tops .
Trickster: You know what? Never mind. It was silly of me to think you would be motivated by something as small as an engagement ring. (Moves out of Top’s way; To Mirror Master and Weather Wizard) Come on, guys, let’s go. I’m sure I’ll be able to come up with something else.
Top: What was that about an engagement ring?
Trickster: Oh, you wouldn’t be interested in it, I’m sure.
Top: You are mistaken. Do tell me what you think I will get out of this heist.
Trickster: Are you sure? If you really are busy, I don’t want to bother you.
Top: No, no. I am fine. Please, tell me what you mean.
Trickster: Well, if you insist…..A few months ago, Lisa told me that she saw the perfect engagement ring at the jewelry store that we’re planning to rob, and that she would be thrilled if you proposed to her with it. But like I said, if you don’t want to help us….
Top: (Quickly) If it will please Lisa, I would very much like to help ensure that you come out on top .
Trickster: Great! Glad to have you aboard, pal!
Mirror Master: (Draws Trickster aside) How could you have talked to Glider “a few months ago”? You spent the last six months on a cross-country swindling trip and didn’t get back until three weeks ago!
Trickster: (Aside to Mirror Master) That’s right…..but he doesn’t know that.
Mirror Master: (Aside to Trickster) Clever.
Trickster: (Aside to Mirror Master) I know, right?  (Aloud) So, what’s the plan?
Act III
(Enter Wally and Iris)
Wally: Is there anything else you need me to do, Aunt Iris?
Iris: Wally, you’ve already gotten me home from the airport, unpacked all my bags, put everything away, pulled everything out when you put everything away wrong, put everything away in the right places, delivered my letter to your Grandpa Ira in Florida, fixed my car, and repainted the garage. You’ve done enough.
Wally: Aww, it was nothing, Aunt Iris.
Iris: It wasn’t nothing. That was a lot of work, and I really appreciate it. (Pause) By the way, you haven’t eaten much since you brought me home. You should probably get some food.
Wally: Good idea, Aunt Iris! (Wally exits, then quickly re-enters) I love Japanese food!
Iris: Did you really run all the way to Japan just to get food? Wally: Why not? I can get there and back in three seconds!
Iris: (laughs) Oh, Wally. You’ve gotta stop doing that before it rubs off on Bart.
Wally: I think it might be too late for that. He’s already running to New York City to watch off-off-Broadway, after all.
Iris: I know, but now that Barry doesn’t have his super speed, we need to dissuade him from doing that again. We can’t be calling you all the time because we can’t bring him back when he disappears to another continent. Without at least one parent with super speed, he needs to stay close to home so that we can help him if he gets into trouble.
Wally: I don’t mind bringing him home.
Iris: Yes, but I’m pretty sure your boss will mind if you have to keep leaving work to bring Bart home from Namibia or Laos or Bithynia.
Wally: But he knows I’m the Flash! I have to leave work all the time!
Iris: True, but there’s a difference between leaving work to stop crime or save people and leaving work to track down your cousin who went on a joyride.
Wally: Yeah, you probably have a point there.
Iris: As soon as he and Barry get home from their trip to the park, I’ll have Barry sit him down and have a little chat with him about running off to other states or foreign countries-assuming that he can focus long enough to get the message, that is.
Wally: Hey, do you mind if I stick around until they get back? I wanted to talk to Uncle Barry about the Rogues’ latest escape from jail.
Iris: Of course you can stay here! (Pause) And why didn’t you tell me that the Rogues escaped? That always makes for a good news story!
Wally: I don’t really know a lot about how it happened yet, so I guess it just slipped my mind.
Iris: In that case, I’ll have to do some investigating to find out how….after Barry, Bart, and I have our little chat, of course.
Wally: Have I ever told you that you’re awesome, Aunt Iris?
Iris: Not lately.
Wally: Well, you’re awesome. (Phone rings) Sorry! I have to get that! (Pulls out phone) Hello? (Pause) Oh, hi, Mrs. Rowen. Why are you calling? (Pause) Suspension? Why? They’re only kindergartners! (Pause) They did what? (Pause) Well, yes, I’m sure that the school having all its windows broken by dual sonic booms would be problematic, but they don’t know how to control their speed. I know they didn’t do it maliciously. (Pause) $600,000? Wow….That is a lot of money. I’m really sorry. I didn’t even know they were moving at supersonic speeds yet. Did anyone get hurt? (Pause) Two teachers are going to need stitches? Oh, no. I’m really sorry. I’m really, really, really sorry. (Pause) Yes, of course I’ll come meet with you. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I’ll be right there. Bye. (Puts phone away) Looks like I won’t be able to talk to Uncle Barry. My kids shattered all the windows at the elementary school when they accidentally created a sonic boom, and now I have to meet with their principal. I swear, parenting super-powered children is a million times harder than fighting supervillains. At least with supervillains, I don’t have to pay for the damages that they cause. I’ve gotta run. Bye!
(Exit Wally)
Iris: It’s at times like these that I’m glad Bart stayed in the Speed Force until he was old enough to know how to control his speed. (Pause) In speaking of Bart, there he and his dad are now. Hopefully, Bart will cooperate with the limits he sets on his travel, because if not, I’m not sure that Barry and I will be able to enforce them. Even Wally wasn’t as impulsive as Bart is.
Act IV (Enter Top, Trickster, Mirror Master, and Weather Wizard. Trickster is wielding a fearsome rubber chicken and a kazoo)
Mirror Master: Did everyone make it through the Mirror Realm all right?
Top: I feel more than a little nauseous, but otherwise, I am fine, since we managed to arrive at our intended destination.
Mirror Master: What are you implying?
Top: Nothing. It is simply that I would feel far more comfortable if I knew that the realm through which we traveled so shortly ago was controlled by a man who had at least completed his secondary education and who hailed from somewhere other than the part of town colloquially known as “Skid Row”. In all candor, your credentials do not inspire confidence.
Mirror Master: Hey, I might not have your fancy education, but I’m just as smart as you. How else do you think I discovered an entire alternate dimension?
Top: My supposition would be that the goddess Fortuna smiled upon an unworthy candidate with the freakish caprice for which she is known.
Mirror Master: Are you saying I just got lucky?
Top: Indeed.
Mirror Master: You’ve got some nerve, Dillon! I worked for years to learn how the Mirror Realm worked! Just because I’m from Skid Row doesn’t mean I’m stupid!
Top: My experience, and the experiences of my father, would suggest otherwise.
Trickster: Girls, girls, girls . You’re both pretty. Now, let’s start the heist already! I already deactivated the alarms, but they’ll come back on eventually. And besides, I’m bored!
Weather Wizard: Trickster’s right. I already created enough snow to slow down the cops, but that won’t hold them forever, and it won’t hold our friend in the red pajamas at all. We need to hurry.
Mirror Master: Well, if the Top is ready, so am I.
Top: I was not the one delaying us, but I am quite prepared to proceed in our enterprise. (To Trickster, as Weather Wizard and Mirror Master start grabbing jewelry) Where is the engagement ring that my beloved desires?
Trickster: (Looks around at the various rings) Let’s see…..I know it’s around here somewhere ….. (Finds a particularly ostentatious ring and points at it) Oh! There it is!
Top: Are you certain that that is what she desires? It seems a bit gaudy for her tastes.
Trickster: Of course I’m sure! (Aside) And I’m not lying. I’m sure she’ll hate it, and I’m sure that learning that he got outsmarted by a circus brat will take Mr.Phony British Accent down a few pegs. He’s smart, but he’s not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.
Top: You have my gratitude, Giovanni. (Takes ring) Is there nothing that you are inclined to take?
Trickster: Not really. I’m here to put on a show, not to take money. (Pulls out bottle of paint) Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to replace the bathroom sinks’ water with paint.
(Exit Trickster; Top analyzes jewelry and slowly begins to select the sophisticated jewelry)
Mirror Master: (To Weather Wizard) I know I said that I was getting a Ferrari, but I’ve been thinking it over, and I think I might get a Lamborghini instead. What do you think?
Weather Wizard: Which one’s faster?
Mirror Master: I’m not sure. Except for a three-day period where I was in possession of W. W. Wiggins’s stolen Ferrari, I’ve never actually owned a car.
Weather Wizard: (Surprised) You’ve never owned a car? How’s that possible? Before I became the Weather Wizard, I was the world’s biggest loser, and even I had a car. I mean, granted, I crashed it into a tree, but I had one!
Mirror Master: (Defensive) I grew up in the inner city. Have you seen the traffic in the interior of Central City? It’s a nightmare! There’s a reason everyone takes the subway to work. The traffic gets so jammed that cars are basically useless.
Weather Wizard: But you still live in the inner city. If there’s no use for one, why do you want it so bad?
Mirror Master: (Angrily) Because I’m tired of being poor! I’ve spent my entire life either in jail or in tiny two-room apartments on Baker Street, and I’m sick of it! I’m sick of always being behind on rent, I’m sick of wearing other people’s cast-offs, and I’m SICK of Roscoe implying that I’m stupid! I want a car because it would be a sign that I finally have enough money to get off of Skid Row! People would have to give me some respect then!  
Weather Wizard: If it makes you feel any better, without the weather wand, nobody gives me any respect, either. The only reason that I’m here right now is to earn back the reputation I lost when it broke. I don’t really need the money.
Mirror Master: You don’t?
Weather Wizard: Nah. I won a $20,000 poker game a few weeks ago.
Mirror Master: But you’re terrible at poker!
Weather Wizard: (Shrugs) I was playing against an 18-year-old who had just inherited his daddy’s company and had never played a game in his life.
Mirror Master: And Dillon says I’M the one who gets lucky!
Weather Wizard: Don’t take it personally, Sam. He’s a jerk to everyone-except Lisa, that is.
Mirror Master: What does she see in him, anyway?
Weather Wizard: That, my friend, is one of the great mysteries of life. He’s not even that attractive!
Top: (Comes over) It is not so mysterious as that. Unlike the rest of you ruffians, I am a man of birth, breeding, and education. Our relationship is a great boon for her social status, especially given the “trailer trash” from whence she comes-to use a colloquialism, of course-and I am certainly better company than any of you could hope to provide. Her selection of me as a paramor proves that she, alone among you “Rogues”, has taste.
Mirror Master: (Sarcastically) Yeah, you’re a real prince, Dillon.
(Alarm goes off)
Weather Wizard: Oh, no! The alarm! We must’ve lost track of time, and now the Flash is gonna show up and make me a laughingstock all over again!
(Enter Trickster)
Trickster: Where’s the Flash? He should be here by now!
Mirror Master: Who cares? Let’s get outta here!
Trickster: Wait! I want to fight the Flash! It’s no fun if I don’t get to fight the Flash!
Mirror Master: Trickster, we got what we came for! Now let’s go!
(All exit quickly, Mirror Master dragging a flailing Trickster)
Act V
(Mirror Master, Weather Wizard, Top, and Trickster are onstage, sitting. Trickster is pouting)
Weather Wizard: We...we actually did it?
Top: Obviously. We are here and not in jail, are we not?
Weather Wizard: I know that, I just can’t believe that we actually did it! We never get away with heists this big!
Mirror Master: You’re right, Mardon. It’s been over four years since we had a heist that the Flash didn’t stop….and we got away with it!
Weather Wizard: So, what do we do now?
Mirror Master: I….I don’t know. It’s been years since we got away with anything, so I haven’t had a plan beyond “get away” in years.
Weather Wizard: I guess you can buy your car now.
Mirror Master: Yeah. I guess so. (Sighs) It’s so weird that we’re not in jail right now.
Weather Wizard: Tell me about it. I haven’t had a run of luck this good in ages!
Top: It is not so peculiar as you are treating it. After all, I accompanied you on this heist, something I have not often done. It is not, therefore, terribly surprising that you were successful-I enabled you to come out on top .
Mirror Master: Dillon, do the world a favor and shut up. I’m not in the mood for your attitude.
Weather Wizard: (To Trickster) Hey, James, why are you so upset? We just got away with a million dollars! You should be on cloud nine!
Trickster: I’m upset because the Flash didn’t show up! He’s what makes crime exciting! Since he wasn’t there and we did it at night, I didn’t have an audience, and it wasn’t any fun! Besides, escaping changes up the game. How are we supposed to start the game over if we don’t get captured and have to escape again?
Weather Wizard: Now that you mention it, I did feel like our heist was lacking in that rush. It’s hard to feel excited when there’s no danger that you might be stopped.
Mirror Master: Yeah. It’s not enjoyable to beat him when he doesn’t even show up. (Pause) But hey, at least we’re rich now, right?
Weather Wizard: (Without confidence) Right. And I’m sure we’ll be able to come up with something to do. It’ll be great!
Trickster: (Petulantly) No, it won’t. The game’s been ruined!
Mirror Master: How has it been ruined? You don’t need the Flash to trick people.
Trickster: No, I don’t, but it’s not the same. I came back to Central City to play the game, and now the game has been ruined because the Flashes won’t play!
Weather Wizard: (Too cheerfully) Hey, why don’t we go get some ice cream? That’ll make us all feel better.
Mirror Master: Sure, why not?
Trickster: I guess so. But only if I can get gummy bears and rainbow sprinkles.
Top: I will pass on that offer. I have fulfilled my part of the agreement and must get back to work.
Weather Wizard: Okay. More for us, I guess.
Mirror Master: (Mutters) Good riddance.
Trickster: I had better get two dips, too.
(Exit Trickster, Mirror Master, and Weather Wizard)
Top: Ahh. Peace and quiet at last. (Pulls out cell phone) Hello, Lisa, darling. This is Roscoe. How fares the mission? (Pause) Allen is willing to help you get the cure? Good. Good. Very good. You, my sweet, are a veritable Sarah Siddons. (Pause) Oh, my apologies. I thought that was common knowledge. Sarah Siddons was a famous Shakespearean actress who was renowned for her life-like portrayal of Lady Macbeth in the 19th century, and you are quite as talented an actress. (Pause) Oh! I almost forgot. I have pleasant news as well, honeybunch. I appropriated the engagement ring that you so desired! (Pause) Wait, you never picked out a ring for that purpose? My profuse apologies, sweetums. It seems that I was misinformed. (Pause) Don’t worry, my dearest darling. The pain has been quite manageable, and given what you have just told me, I have no fear for my life. (Pause) Thank you, darling. Your snuggle-bunny loves you, too. Good-bye. (Puts phone away) TRICK-STER!
(Scene change. Enter Wally, in jewelry store)
Wally: Aw, come on! I’m getting sued by the school district AND I let the Rogues get away? Man, this just isn’t my day! (Pause) Oh, well. If there’s one thing that Uncle Barry’s taught me, it’s that a true hero never gives up. I’m sure to find them eventually-especially since they aren’t exactly subtle. (Pause) And if there’s one good thing about all this, it’s that things can’t possibly get worse! I’ll go get a quick snack, and then I’ll find Aunt Iris and Uncle Barry so that we can take down those Rogues- in a Flash!

6 Underground ficlet Part II
Word Count: 1,315
Read Part I here
While yeah, it sucked you had to stay behind when the team went off on their mini mission to Sicily because according to One “someone has to watch the dog”, at least you got a phone call from Six about how well it went. 
You were dying to ask about Four. 
Did he say anything about you? Was he thinking about you? 
Did he miss you?
You were certain Six found you absolutely insufferable, but he took it all in stride saying he’d pass along a message for you. 
“Tell him to bring me back a souvenir. I will accept food or alcohol,” you joked. 
Six laughed. “Yeah, and do you want that with a bouquet of roses too?” he teased
“Haha. Shut up,” you replied flatly, rolling your eyes, fighting a smile. “Call me when you leave Italy.” 
 And then he never did. 
You waited. And waited. 
Surprisingly enough, Four called you. At first, you were exhilarated just to hear his voice. Then he delivered the worst possible news and suddenly you just wanted the conversation to be over. 
You didn’t sleep after that. You couldn’t. 
All you could do was wait for the team to return. 
As soon as the jet touched down you were there. 
One steadfastly avoided looking in your direction. He brushed right past you and headed straight for his trailer. There was work to be done...and he was determined to throw himself into it before he fell into a pit of self loathing so deep there was no escape. 
Fact number one: There was no body to bury.
“I didn’t even get to say goodbye,” you sniffled, curling further into yourself. 
Four pressed a wad of tissues into your hand which you gratefully accepted. 
He didn’t know what to say. 
Fact two: You hadn’t even known Six's real name. 
How were you supposed to mourn someone if you didn’t even know their name?
Your world had shrunk exponentially when you cut all ties to your old life. And it was still shrinking.
One stood in the way of you boarding the jet. 
You struggled to shoulder past him. He refused to budge. 
You bared your teeth in anger. “I’m not fucking staying behind again. Get the fuck out of my way!” 
The other ghosts stood behind you, not yet boarded, waiting to see how this played out. 
One's eyes scanned your own, the wheels turning in his head. “Who’s going to watch Wally if you come with us? Think about it Zero. If you leave him alone here for who knows how long, that’s animal abuse,” he tried to rationalize in that condescending tone of his. 
“I’ll fucking take him with me! Now move! I’m coming with you!” you shouted at him as frustrated tears streamed down your face. 
One had his arms around you in an attempt to push you back, but at this point he was basically hugging you to him. “You can’t come with us. You have to stay here, kid. Where I know you'll be safe.” He had dropped the condescending tone and if you didn’t know any better, you say he sounded a little vulnerable right then. 
Of all people, it was the new guy who convinced you to stay behind. 
Seven placed a hand on your shoulder, gave you one long hard look and said, “I’ll look out for everyone, don’t you worry. I’m a sniper. It’s what I do.” 
There was a long pause as a battle raged inside you. 
Begrudgingly, you nodded your assent and backed away from the jet’s entrance. The other ghosts parted to let you by. Four lingered behind while they boarded. 
It was just the two of you on the tarmac. 
You took in the sight of him as though it was the last time you’d have the chance to do so. He was so heart achingly beautiful. You didn’t want to forget for a single moment what he looked like. 
“I guess this is goodbye,” he murmured, smiling weakly. 
You roughly wiped away the drying tears on your face. “For now. Just for now.” 
He adjusted his grip on his bag. “I’ll call you when I can.”
You nodded, glancing away. “And I’ll be watching the news for when you finally take this bad guy down.”
He grew quiet. Shuffled his feet. 
“Hey.” He reached for you and you gladly fell into his embrace. 
“You better come back in one piece,” you mumbled into his chest. 
He pecked a kiss on the top of your head and smirked. “Who do you think you’re talking to? I’m a professional.” 
“Let’s get a move on! This coup isn’t going to d’etat itself!” One yelled from the jet’s interior. 
You both chuckled, letting each other go. 
“Two must be rolling her eyes so hard right now,” Four said. 
You punched his shoulder playfully, “Go break a leg already.”
The next time Four called you, he surprised you with four seemingly innocuous words.
“My name is Billy.”
There was no “hi” or any other form of greeting when you picked up the phone on the first ring. Just those four words you didn’t know what to make of. 
You had been completely absorbed in the news coverage on the Turgistan coup for hours, eyes glued to the computer screen. 
They had done it. One’s crazy plan had actually worked. 
Your chest glowed with pride. 
Then came the phone call. 
My. Name. Is. Billy. 
Billy. 
His name rang in your ears.
"...But what about the rules?" you asked, clearly flustered. 
Your face felt hot. Here and now you finally had his name. Here he offered you a secret you coveted and now it felt like everything about your friendship was changing. 
"Fuck the rules," he laughed breathlessly. 
Exhilarated, you laughed too. "My name is Y/N." 
...
You met the ghost’s on the tarmac when they returned from Turgistan and the first thing you noticed when you laid eyes on Four again was his arm in a sling. 
Your eyes bugged out of your skull.
"I said break a leg! Not break an arm!" you fretted. "Shit, are you ok Billy?" 
You watched his eyes light up with elated disbelief as the sound of his real name left your lips and then he was dropping his bag and surging forward to wrap his arms around you. 
“I thought I was never going to see you again,” he murmured by your ear. 
Your heart seized. 
“For a minute there I thought I was a goner. All I could think about was you. But I didn’t even know your name and if I died I never would. It was scary,” he admitted. “Before all this I didn’t have a lot of people in my life who cared about me…”
When he started to trail off, you couldn’t control yourself and you blurted out without thinking, “Do you want to go steady with me?”
Billy snorted before pulling away so he could look at you.
“Have you been watching those old shows One keeps around?” he teased. 
You glowered at him for a long moment before the expression weakened into something softer. He seemed a little taken aback by the change. 
You gazed at him from beneath you eyelashes. 
“Be with me,” you pleaded quietly. 
He cupped your face gently and met your gaze dead on. “I’d love to.”
“Hey! Get a room!” Five, or Amelia according to Billy, poked fun at them with a wide grin. 
“They grow up so fast,” you heard One say. 
“I think they’re cute together,” Seven countered. 
The other ghosts chuckled as they headed to the haunted house. 
Billy turned his attention back to you and cocked his head. “How do you feel about going somewhere warm until the next mission?” 
Your entire face lit up. “I’d love to,” you echoed his earlier words with a grin.

In the film The King’s Speech it all started when Prince Albert, Duke of York was unable to speak clearly or let out his voice because he stammers at every word he says. He and his wife Elizabeth have tried many treatments he is slowly losing hope that he will be able to overcome his defect, but his wife wanted him to go and see Lionel Logue a speech defect therapist that is not medically trained. As they start their first session Lionel prefers to call the Duke as “Bertie”, as that’s what his family calls him, Lionel wants them to be equal during the sessions. He wants Bertie to recite “To be, or not to be” by Hamlet while listening to classical music with headphones. As Bertie recites he grew frustrated and left but Lionel gave the recording to Bertie as a souvenir. After Bertie’s father, King George V broadcasts his Royal Christmas Message, Bertie made an attempt on reading the message but failed, at that night Bertie listened to the record Lionel gave him and was shocked that he barely stuttered after that he returned to continue the treatments. As Bertie’s father dies George V, his older brother David ascends the throne as King Edward VIII. The throne was later passed to Bertie for King Edward to marry Wallis Simpson he decided to abdicate. Then later on Bertie found out that Lionel had no formal training and was outraged but as Bertie talked without stammering they rehearsed. As the new king Bertie has to say a speech then and there Lionel helped him through his speech at the broadcasting room after it they bantered and then the Royal Family step onto the palace balcony and the crowd cheered.
From what I’ve seen in the film Lionel and Bertie they had a conversation on since when Bertie started stammering there was a bit of an argument since Bertie gets agitated easily but Lionel stayed calm until the end despite Bertie leaving. Bertie was a having a hard time talking with people because of his stammering and that was dragging him down and he grew frustrated, when he heard the recording of him, he knew he had a chance to overcome his stammering with Lionel’s help by doing what Lionel asks to make him calm down Lionel makes Bertie do gestures, sing, or curse to make the words come out without stammering. Even though Bertie managed to slowly overcome his stammering with most people but once he talks to his older brother David it all goes back to square because, as Lionel insists that Bertie can be the king instead but Bertie got mad and left Lionel. Later on when George V, died the throne was passed on to King Edward VIII, Bertie’s older brother but David wants to marry Wallis Simpson so he decided to abdicate the throne when Bertie tried to take as he was about to become the future king he stammered again, before his coronation he went to Lionel to resolve their argument and as they were about to rehearse for what Bertie was about to say for the coronation he found out Lionel never had proper training as a therapist. When Bertie was expressing his emotions he realized he didn’t stammer as they were able to resolve that they continued with the rehearsal. At the broadcasting where Bertie has to make a speech for British and the Empire about the war against Nazi, Germany Lionel was there with him guiding him in his speech and got through it with the help of Lionel. With Bertie’s stammering it was a big hindrance to him being a king since he had to do speeches stuttering/stammering was a big problem to him but with Lionel there with as a therapist and as a friend he managed to overcome it and become a great king despite having a speech defect that won’t stop a person from showing his emotions, that didn’t stop Bertie from speaking he communicated with Lionel regardless of him stammering he was still able to speak and Lionel was listening to him.
