———

Rain covers the world behind her window in grey and for a moment, everything Adi can hear are the soft splatters of the droplets hitting the ground. It smells of earth and she sighs, closing her eyes and letting her forehead rest against the cold glass.

Jaime brings his own little storm inside the house and Adi glares at the trail of puddles he leaves in his wake towards her. Someone will have to clean that later.

“Couldn’t you at least close the door?” It sounds harsher than she intended, but it was that or letting nerves leak into her voice.

He runs a hand through his hair and steps forward, too eager to notice the way Adi’s eyes travel down to the shirt clinging to his chest. She feels her face heating up.

“Come on!” Jaime calls, his palms cold against hers.

“Wha-what?”

He tugs at her hand one more time, impatient. They rush out the door and

rain gives her an enthusiastic welcome, soaking her from head to toe.

She sees herself reflected in a big puddle, one of Jaime’s arms wrapped around her waist and the other cradling her face. For a moment, Adi hopes he leans close enough for her to smell his cologne. Her stomach does a flip and she squeezes her eyes shut.

“Even with all this rain, you’re hot,” Jaime whispers.

Adi opens her eyes to find Jaime’s focused on hers, noses almost touching. He brushes her hair back and licks his lips and Adi has to clear her throat to stop her heart from bursting out of her chest.

“This is my natural body temperature, I don’t see how rain can affect it.”

Jaime stifles a giggle and Adi joins him, her past cluelessness bringing good memories.

“Can I,uh,” Jaime scratches the back of his head and looks down. “Can I kiss you?”

The Truth about Ice Cream

Story Trade with @werewitchling

Summary: Adi has never tried ice cream so Gigi decides to show her what she's missing

Pairing: Jaime x oc Bart x oc :

Tagging: @royslittleharper​ @guns-n-lilies​ @the-shadow-of-atlantis​ @coffee-randomness​ @daisyboobear​

“Wait WHAT!?!”

Adi blinked as she stood there slightly unsure what she had said to offend the red haired girl. Next, to her Jaime tried to stifle a laugh.

“I have never had this Ice Cream thing, am I in trouble?”

Gigi paused from her over dramatics for a moment as she took in Adi’s comment, “Why would you be in trouble?”

“You seem quite distressed.”

“Well, I just feel horrible for you that you have never had the wonders of ice cream.”

“What makes this Ice Cream so wonderful?”

“It gives Gigi her powers,” Bart said glancing up from his video game. “It gives her the ability to stretch.”

“Really?”

“No, ” Jaime said but was cut off by the speedster who had put his game away and was how pulling Adi away from his best friend.

 “Yeah why do you think she loves it so much. Righ, Gigi?”

His girlfriend nodded a huge smile on her face, “Ice cream gives me joy which helps me stretch.”

“Will it make me stretch?” Adi asked unsure if she wanted that power. While she was impressed with the other red haired girl’s powers she wasn’t sure she wanted them for her own.

Jaime sighed rolling his eyes, “let’s just go,” he said taking Adi’s hand shooting the other couple a glare.

“They don’t really give me my powers…” Gigi whispered to Bart who couldn’t help but laugh.

“Yeah I know that,”

“Ok,”

The Ice cream parlor wasn’t packed but it had enough people to cause a small line. However, when they walked inside a middle-aged woman smiled waving “Hello Gigi!”

“Hey, Marta!” Gigi sang, “My new friend here has never had ice cream!” she added motioning to Adi who looked shyly around the small shop. The woman gave the other girl a sympathetic smile before slowly starting to scoop ice cream into a bowl.

“What types of flavors do you like Gigi’s new friend?” she asked while making the other red haired girl’s signature dish.

“I don’t know,” Adi mumbled looking through the glass at the tubs of colorful items.

“We let’s try something simple then.” the woman said scooping some white from one of the tins before getting a scoop of the brown stuff next to it. “Here you are,” she said handing the bowl to Adi as the others took their orders.

 Adi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous as she slowly took her spoon dipping it into the white creamy looking thing her eyes glancing back from her friends to her bowl. Gigi was already half done with hers.

Slowly Adi took a bite letting the cold sweet flavor melt in her mouth. Her blue eyes grew wide with excitement. “Oh this is delicious!” she cried before taking a huge helping.

“Wait!” Jaime said but it was too late. Adi’s face screwed up as she clutched her head.

“Ow, why is the food hurting me!”

“It’s a brain freeze,” Bart said

“Put your tongue on the roof of your mouth, ” Jaime said demonstrating. Nodding Adi followed his instructions until the pain subsided. “You have to eat it slow at first, we aren’t all pros like Gigi.”

 “Huh?” Gigi asked looking up blissfully from her bowl of the pink sparkly mess she called ice cream. Bart couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t bother talking to her when she’s eating.”

They all sat outside eating their ice cream. Jaime shared his flavor, mocha chip, with Adi and Bart, let her try his Neapolitan.

“Did you want to try mine?” Gigi asked holding up her bowl. Behind Adi both boys looked on concerned as Adi took a spoon full of the glittery pink.

“How does it glitter?” Adi asked looking over the ice cream.

“That’s super glitter, it makes everything look pretty and taste better.”

“Maybe you should wait…” Jaime mumbled but it was already too late as the boys watched in horror as Adi took a bit of Gigi’s famous overly sweet treat. Few had tried, none had survived the super rush.

“This is amazing!” Adi cried her eyes wide, “May I have another bite?”

“Of course!” Gigi said holding up her bowl a huge smile on her face, she had finally found a friend who would share her true love of ice cream.

Next, to them, the boys watched in horror.  

-Later-

Adi moved her arms around trying to stretch them while Jaime watched, concerned. 

“Are you ok.”

“Why can I not stretch?” Adi asked a small frown on her face. Jaime couldn’t help but laugh at the adorable frustrated look on her face. 

“That’s because Bart was just kidding! Gigi’s ice cream doesn’t really give her powers”

Pretty Persuasion (2005)

Plot: Fifteen-year-old High school girl Kimberly (Evan Rachel Wood) wants to be an actress, and is about to embark on a plan to find fame that starts by convincing her two friends to accuse teacher Percy Anderson (Ron Livingston) of sexual assault.

Review: In recent reviews, I have lamented the idea of basing your film around characters who have no redeeming features or characteristics; Pretty Persuasion does the same, although this time, that’s the point.

Kimberly (Wood) is essentially an amoral psychopath who has no qualms about who she hurts and who she has to step over to get where she wants to go; but cross her and you’ll feel her wrath. We’re introduced to her through the new girl at school, newly-arrived immigrant Randa (Adi Schnall), who is the perfect character through whom to observe her never-ending stream of vacuously self-interested opinions, and overtly racist ideas about how the world works. She ropes both Randa and her friend Brittany into her scheme, corrupting them both along the way.

But it’s not just her. Kimberly’s father Hank (James Woods) doesn’t take any interest in her and spews racist bile at the dinner table, while never telling her off for accusing her step-mom Kathy (Jaime King) of horrible sexual acts. The local news presenter is a promiscuous lesbian who thinks nothing of hopping into bed with the High school girl. The list of awfulness goes on and on. And that’s the whole point of the film, a black comedy with an obvious but not off-putting agenda. It’s just a shame it’s never really given the script it needs; in the right hands, these characters could be great.

And that’s the key point; the idea is good but the characters lack the kind of x factor that Tarantino’s rogues would. So while the idea is good and the film is well made, the story never reaches the heights it might have.

Adi was sprawled across Jaime’s bed hidden under three layers of large fluffy blankets. He wasn’t in the room as he had gone somewhere with Bart but Adi really needed the comfort of being somewhere familiar that smelled safe and would be the last place anyone would look if they knew Jaime was out.

The day before yesterday  was the anniversary of when Adi had been found and removed from a Cadmus pod; it was the same day she had been removed from their care but Today was the day she had awoken and been rejected by her genetic parents on forming a parent-child relationship.

Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, she would be around Anani and Marisol or she’d visit Marisol’s family or universe hop to visit Anani’s family and the X-Men. However this year, Marisol’s family was visiting relatives in El Salvador which she couldn’t just leave and Anani was off on a mission with the X-Men that was taking longer than planned.

She could have visited Ma and Pa Kent but she didn’t want there to be a chance of seeing her parents nor did she want the date to spoil the relationship she was building with them. It had taken a few months for Adi to even think about visiting the older Kents as she thought they wouldn’t like or accept her.

Adi was feeling at least a little better in the cocoon of blankets and the smell that was all Jaime though she doubted she could explain what exactly it smelt like beyond that. She could hear the sounds of the others that were in the cave but beyond knowing that none of them were Jaime or Conner, she didn’t know who they were as her hearing wasn’t yet that precise.

She wondered if Jaime would be upset she had hidden in his room. They were friends but things had been feeling off lately especially since she realized her feelings toward him weren’t completely platonic. She had kinda been hiding from him because of that but today she just was done.

She couldn’t hide or run away when she felt as if her head was made of lead and her chest felt like it was on fire from her mind running in circles repeatedly bringing painful memories to the surface.

She must have drifted to sleep though it hadn’t been very deep because the next thing she knew she felt the bed dip and the sound of two heartbeats that weren’t her own. She sleepily opened her eyes when she felt a warm hand lightly caress the side of her face to see it was Jaime and he looked a little concerned. She leaned into the touch and lightly grumbled to herself at how fast Bart’s heart was beating in the room.

“hey, is everything alright?” he asked once she had shifted a bit so she was sitting up slightly. Adi gave a small shrug as she didn’t feel awake enough to explain nor was she sure she wanted to. “Bad day? How long have you been here anyway?” he asked tilting his head at the question. “hmm” Adi makes an agreeing sound about his first question before adding “most of the day”

She could have lied but figured Khaji Da would tell him and besides that she would rather he know that she obviously found comfort in him even if she had messed everything up. She saw him glance over at bart who gave a mock salute before he was out the door and likely off to cause trouble.

“Want to talk about it?” He asked before moving to sit next to her in the space that she wasn’t taking up.That space left him lightly pressed against her side and she seemed to unconsciously lean into him. “dunno. You probably had a good day. Don’t want to wreck that more” she finally spoke after a few moments of thought.

“Adi, come on. I want to know what has you so down” Jaime said and Adi sighed still hesitant on whether to believe that. “today marks the day…. The day that Kori and Conner chose not to be my parents” Adi finally revealed looking rather unhappy to have had to say or think about it.

“oh” was all Jaime said before he gently wrapped his arms around her to offer some comfort. She doubted her knew what else to say to that. She had never hidden the hurt that the event had caused but she had never really spoken about it in front of him.

“on a different note… can I ask why you’ve been avoiding me?” Jaime asked carefully and he saw her face scrunch up into a grimace. “I do owe you an explanation for that” she admitted quietly looking toward her feet.

“would you be mad… if the explanation came tomorrow? I just… can’t deal with any of that right now” She said and was relieved to receive a positive answer though she could hear the resigned tone to it.

“sorry” she apologized before she tried scooting away from him but his arms were still around her and pulled her back. “it’s fine, Adi. Everyone has days when they can’t take anymore.Yours seems to happen a lot but your worst day just happens to be today” Jaime said and Adi felt herself starting to melt against him. She flipped herself so she could rest her head against him while facing him.

“just… don’t hate me… okay” Adi whispered just as she was falling asleep against him. she didn’t feel his arms tighten around her nor the kiss he gently placed on the top of her head nor even did she hear the faint sound of agreement he gave as he allowed himself to relax more so he could follow her to sleep.

Rodolfo Bonetto

Rodolfo Bonetto. Diseñador industrial autodidacta y docente.

Rodolfo Bonetto (1929 – 1991, Milán) fue diseñador y docente, y uno de los mayores exponentes italianos en el campo del diseño industrial.

Reconocido como uno de los padres fundadores del diseño italiano, con sus creaciones contribuyó al éxito internacional de el “hecho en Italia” después de la II Guerra Mundial.

Abandonó la educación secundaria, y una exitosa carrera como batería de jazz con el famoso “Sexteto italiano“, para dedicarse a la profesión de diseñador y trabajar en el área de bienes de consumo y de bienes de producción con diferentes enfoques.

La pasión del joven Rodolfo Bonetto por el diseño y el automovilismo se vio apoyada por su tío paterno Felice Bonetto -famoso piloto de carreras de los años cincuenta- y comenzó a dibujar bocetos de coches.

De formación autodidacta -una característica muy poco común en la escena italiana- pero dotado de un gran talento y gusto estético, así como de una gran habilidad para el dibujo técnico, comenzó a trabajar como colaborador para la compañía italiana Veglia Borletti (proveedores de la industria de la automoción).

A partir de esos años diseña los primeros croquis de carrocerías para las compañías Carrozzeria Vignale, Viotti y Carrozzeria Boneschi.

Trabajó desde 1951 hasta 1957 como consultor de diseño de Pininfarina S.p.A. -abreviatura de Carozzeria Pininfarina-, una empresa italiana de diseño y construcción de coches en Cambiano (Italia).

Pero realmente su carrera como diseñador comenzó cuando fundó en Milán su propio Estudio de diseño en 1958.

Durante su larga carrera realizó numerosos proyectos en diversos ámbitos de la producción industrial en serie, sobre todo en aquellos a los que no se suele tener en cuenta, ni se considera esencial la intervención de los diseñadores.

Electrodomésticos, máquinas, herramientas, equipos electrónicos, instrumentos musicales, televisores, maletas, equipos de música, muebles, equipos la iluminación, relojes, lámparas, botas de esquí, radios, equipos instrumentales en aviones, láseres quirúrgicos y carrocerías de automóviles.

De todos estos, siempre fue el componente técnico lo que más le interesó, una peculiaridad que lo distingue de la mayoría de los diseñadores italianos, que están tradicionalmente más cerca del mundo de los muebles.

Su relación con Olivetti fue muy intensa y estimulante profesionalmente, como por ejemplo la planificación de la sede y el centro de producción Horizon para Olivetti en Ivrea y el diseño de máquinas y herramientas complejas -como el número de control de OCN (1967)- que modificaban la apariencia del entorno de la fábrica.

Igualmente importante fue su colaboración con Fiat (desarrollando por ejemplo el Motor Fire, 1984) para quien diseñó muchos interiores de automóviles, como el diseño exitoso del interior del 131 Supermirafiori (1978), y que hoy son patrimonio histórico del Estudio Bonetto Design.

En diseño de mobiliario destaca “4/4” (1969) para la empresa B-Line, que representa el producto multifuncional típico que puede adaptarse fácilmente a la configuración y al uso. De esta manera, permite interpretaciones continuamente nuevas de los espacios en los que vivimos.

Las líneas curvadas, el plástico brillante y la unión fácil convierten los cuatro elementos en una mesa de centro redonda, una mesa serpenteante, una biblioteca modular, o incluso en una estantería de esquina.

Fabricado en plástico ABS moldeado por inyección, “4/4” es una solución inteligente para el hogar, el estudio o la sala de espera. Como dato anecdótico aparece en la película de 007 “Diamonds are Forever” junto a Sean Connery.

Aunque Rodolfo Bonetto se orientó de forma destacada hacia la praxis del diseño, también lo hizo a proporcionar a las nuevas generaciones una importante contribución a la enseñanza del diseño.

Desde 1961 a 1965 dio clases de diseño industrial en la Hochschule für Gestaltung (Universidad de Diseño) de Ulm, y de 1974 a 1979 en el ISIA Design Roma (Istituto Superiore per le Industrie Artistiche) en la ciudad de Roma (Italia).

Fue Presidente dos veces (de 1971 a 1973 y de 1981 a 1983) de ADI (Asociación de Diseño Industrial) y presidente del CIADI (Consejo Internacional de Sociedades de Diseño Industrial).

Fue honrado con ocho Compasso d’Oro, el último de los cuales se le concedió poco después de su muerte en 1991 como un tributo a sus treinta años de actividad.

Desde entonces, su Estudio de diseño está dirigido por su hijo Marco Bonetto, que amplió aún más la actividad del Estudio (Bonetto Design) hacia el sector del automóvil.

Marco Bonetto también fundó el Centro de Diseño Bonetto en Montecarlo como homenaje a su padre, un centro que revitaliza ideas y servicios hacia nuevas disciplinas de diseño.

Rodolfo Bonetto sabía aunar sus conocimientos tecnológicos con su sabiduría sobre los materiales de producción y con los aspectos ergonómicos, encontrando el equilibrio entre los avances en investigación y la estética. El arquitecto Vittorio Gregotti lo llamaba “El trabajador formado“.

Rodolfo Bonetto es el único diseñador italiano que nunca realizó proyectos de arquitectura y que estuvo constantemente enfocado en la producción de objetos y productos hechos en serie.

Warm wishes

A little late birthday present for the lovely and amazing @0hmydeku , hope the characters are accurate enough, happy birthday! 💕

—————-

Going down the wide, pattered steps Adi felt like a princess in one of those movies Anani had made her watch. The deep blue dress was long enough so that she didn’t have to worry about her feet staying on the ground in her joy. She looked down at the gold and white room, full of face so familiar and loved she didn’t feel out of place.

Jaime was waiting for her at the end of the stairs, offering an arm and a smile for Adi to take. Music filled the air the moment the fabric of his suit touched her skin, and Adi’s vision went slightly blurry.

In the back of her mind, she wondered if she was dreaming.

“What’s this all about?” Adi asked, bewildered at the sight of a finely decorated cake atop of a dessert table, a single unlit candle resting on the frosting.

“It’s your birthday, remember?” He said, confused at the tears streaming down her face.

“Girl, you’re going to ruin your makeup!” Marisol screamed, lunging forward and tapping Adi’s face with a handkerchief.

“Bu—but, that was days ago,” Adi managed to splutter. “I thought...”

“We know that you don’t like talking about your previous birthdays,” Bart said, holding a half empty bowl of nachos against his red dressing shirt, “so we picked the next best day.”

“Today marks the day you joined the team,” Lucy continued, “the day we met you.”

“Guys, I—“ Adi stood there, wanting to be able to grow arms long enough to hug all of her friends at once. She looked around the room and saw them smiling at her, and she didn’t need them to speak or explain to know what the look on their faces meant.

It wasn’t pity or pain, it was love that was written all over their eyes. And it wasn’t until she hear Jaime’s whisper in her ear that she realized she was not only floating a few feet from the ground, but she was also holding him up with her.

Flustered, she mumbled an apology and descended, being wrapped in a wave of presents and warm wishes as soon as she touched the floor.

Nobody compares

Here’s the thing.

Jen, Faith and Gigi all belong to @melyaliz Maia belongs to @royslittleharper Annabella belongs to @the-shadow-of-atlantis Adi belongs to @werewitchling and lastly, Lucy belongs to me.

Word count: 796

There’s a tingling sensation running through his skin when he sees her and thank gods, she’s too concentrated to even notice him staring from the other side of the room.

Dick’s chest feels heavy, so heavy it actually hurts. He hides his frown behind a sip of wine, nodding at something someone says, his eyes not leaving her figure.

Seeing her all dolled up always had that effect on him, he would just stare at her with the most tiny of grins for a few minutes and then compliment her with nonsenses for the rest of the night. That, when they were together. But now all he could do is look from a distance. And the knowledge of that makes his stomach sink.

Jen then does the worst thing she could have, as if she could sense his eyes following her every move: she smiles.

The pink lipstick suits her wonderfully, her lips part and arch and he catches a glance of her teeth and of the way the corner of her eyes wrinkle with delight. In another time he would have been there. He would have been the cause of her laughter and he would have laugh with her.

Dick’s breath hitches slightly and suddenly he just wants to walk across the ballroom and wrap his arms around her. 

He knows it’s stupid. He knows he can’t, at least, not in the way he wishes to.

Someone pulls the end of his tux and he fidgets, holding the cup tighter in his hands. The red liquid jumps with him, turning in the borders of the glass and spilling over his shoes.

“Grayson!” The voice demands and he looks down to find a furrowed Damian glaring daggers at him “I’ve been trying to establish a proper conversation with you all night, still your thoughts seem to be everywhere but here”

“Oh, I’m sorry” He manages to mutter.

Damian raises an eyebrow and Annabella pats him on the shoulder with a smile he can’t quite understand. There’s knowledge on her eyes and he averts his gaze from hers, no point in talking about it.

“You okay?” Kaldur ask, but he barely hears him.

His attention is traveling across the room again. He sees Faith, giggling at the way Tim awkwardly holds her while slow dancing, Jason, grinning as he whispers something in the ear of a very flustered Lucy, and Roy, lifting a finger to his lips, asking for silence when he catches him and Maia sneaking out of the party holding hands, shortly followed by Gigi and Bart, going out but in another direction.

He sees the dress she’s wearing. Tight in all the right places and of a blue so intense that he wonders how he had not noticed it before that moment.

Dick had always liked the way Jen’s skin makes contrast with blue. It makes her cheeks adopt a lovely pink tone, and her hair look darker. There’s the heavy feeling in his chest again and he realizes that truly, he would never be able to find someone like her.

She’s so beautiful, he thinks, and I let her go.

Nobody compares to her, not in looks nor intelligence. Not in the way she was capable of making his heart beat faster even without touching him, even without looking at him.

Annabella sighs and Dick flinches when she pushes his back.

“Just go talk to her, it’s not that hard”

His eyes go to his sister’s face and she rolls her eyes, pushing him again. Damian mutters something angrily and Kaldur answers him with a nod.

Richard takes a deep breath, perhaps she was right. He starts walking, perhaps it wasn’t that hard after all. Bruce raises his glass at him with the polite expression he adopts when talking in rich social circles and he returns the gesture without stopping.

With the corner of his eyes he spots Jason wrapping his arms around Lucy’s shoulders with frown, she seems even more flustered than before as Jason says something to a frightened man. But he doesn’t stop to see any of it.

He hears Faith laughing and Tim whining behind her as he chaces her around the ballroom, and he finds himself behind Jennifer.

She has not noticed him yet, too submerged in her conversation with Adi and Jaime.

He looks at her exposed neck and touches her shoulder. Jen turns around with a smile and Dick swallows the impulse of touching her lips with his along with the feelings he didn’t know he had catched and pecks her cheek lightly.

“Hey Jen” He says, trying his best to sound as casual and cheery as always.

“Oh, hello Dickiebird!” Jen greets and the nickname digs a hole in his stomach, but he smiles anyways.

Jaime held Adi’s hand tightly as they stepped inside the church. It was almost empty, except for a few nuns and a priest. Their footsteps echoed in the big walls and the high, vaulted ceiling, the silent and peaceful aura that emitted from the place taking over them for a few seconds. Until the girl's eyes fell on the statue of a bleeding man, nailed to a crux. There was sorrow in his expression and his mouth hanged open in what seemed to be a silent cry.

“I trust that is just a mimic of a human being?” She doubted and Jaime followed her gaze.

“Oh, yeah, that’s Jesus” He said “He’s basically a saver for the people that believe in him, he came down to earth, died for human sins and then resurrected at the third day”

Adi nodded but he could still notice the wonderings going through her head reflected in her expression. She took a couple steps towards the altar, frowning.

“That doesn’t sounds very logical to me”

“It doesn’t have to be. That’s just what some people believe that happened” He explained.

“And why would they do that? If that man supposedly died for their sins and then came back to life, he clearly wasn’t human. He had to be some kind of alien with really slow healing powers” Adi reasoned, her eyebrows almost meeting.

Jaime scratched the back of his head, averting his eyes from her curious ones to the ceiling, as if he thought he would find a simple way of explaining things floating in the air. Maybe taking a walk to Gotham streets and entering a church with her wasn’t as much as a great idea than he thought would be. They should have gone to Chinatown or somewhere else.

He looked at one of the nuns passing beside him, a lady with a couple of white hair strands falling out of her habit hood, and to a young girl ─perhaps too young to be wearing a habit too─  that bowed before climbing the few steps that separated her from the altar. He weighed the idea of asking for help.

Adi inspected the tablecloth and candles on the long altar table, fishing her hand out of Jaime’s hold to touch the petal of the flowers perched on the vases. They were smooth under her touch and she could tell they were fresh, recently cut. The girl smiled at her from behind the table.

“Do you want them? I could sneak some for you without sister Jazmine knowing” She offered, already taking the flowers out of the water and looking for napkins to wrap them.

“That’d be really nice of you” Adi smiled back at her, Jaime did too, but for a lot of different reasons.

“I’m Jaime and she’s Adi” He greeted the young nun “She had a couple questions that I hope you can answer”

“I’ll see what I can do” The girl said, handing Adi the improvised bouquet “I’m Lucy, by the way”

Adi’s face lighted up at the interchange and she nearly jumped in her place “Really?!”

Lucy nodded, her honey eyes shining with amusement. Jaime let out a sigh of relief.

Adi let out a cry as she fell backward, the blast from the large bad guy making her head spin as she tried to regain her senses. Eyes glowing blue bright with her power trying to defend herself against another attack. Her head was still spilling when something behind her caught her attention. 

A soft sob. 

Turning she saw a woman holding back two children trying to protect them from the battle before them. Three pairs of large eyes stared back at the red-haired hero, so scared, so helpless. Adi let out a soft growl of frustration as she pushed herself up slightly ready. No one was getting hurt on her watch. 

Rubbing her temple she pushed herself up further against the building she had crashed into the side of. The world was still spinning but she was slowly started to gain her balance. Her determination was strong as she wiped a trickle of blood from her mouth taking a defensive stance. Her hands glowing ready for the attack.

Taking a step forward she felt her ankle give way slightly. Letting out a soft grunt she stumbled slightly. The pain shooting through her body so deep that she thought she might throw up. The world around her swimming slightly. She couldn’t pass out, she couldn’t. Not with these people here. They needed her. 

The man turned to her an evil smile as he took a few steps closer to her, his teeth flashing in the light of the day reminding Adi of a shark ready to strike. The little alien winched trying to brace herself. Was there a way she could absorb the attack? Maybe if she tried to rush him? But with her ankle that didn’t feel very likely.

Fear. 

She was scared. For the three civilians behind her. For herself. That she couldn’t do anything about it. 

With all her powers she was powerless. 

His laugh echoed in her brain, filling her head so it was all she could hear as her heartrate picked up feeling like she was in a tunnel only able to focus on the man as he lifted his hand ready to strike with another blow. 

And suddenly all she could see was blue. 

“I got you,” Jamie’s voice having that bit of metallic twang coming from the suite, “Just relax. I’ll protect you.”

Friend Birthday

Summary: Adi never had a birthday before so her friends decide to fix that. 

Pairing: Jaime x Oc

Notes: HAPPY BIRTHDAY @werewitchling !!! Something small for you on your special day! I hope it’s as wonderful as you are. 

Adi @werewitchling

Annabella/Zen @the-shadow-of-atlantis 

Faith and Gigi mind 

“Birthday?” Adi asked cocking her head to one side as Gigi’s eyes got large. Probably larger than normal, which was normal for a girl who could stretch her body in ways that weren’t normal for a human. Not that Adi really knew much about “normal.”

“The day you are born, it’s the day people celebrate you being alive and you get to each as much cake and ice cream as you want. Also, there are gifts.”

“Oh,” Adi said looking down suddenly feeling sad. Because she was born in a lab she didn't really have a birthday.

“Or you can choose a day you want to celebrate.” Faith said kindly, “Like a day that is special for you, that marks another year of life.”

“I don’t know,” she whispered. Faith shrugged.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s ok some people don’t even like to celebrate their birthdays.”

“We should throw Adi a birthday party,” Jaime said pulling Faith, Gigi, and Bart aside.

“YES!!!” Gigi said jumping up and down, “Can we do streamers and games and those little things you blow in that make that loud whistling thing and have paper? AND GIFTS AND!”

“Shhhh” Bart whispered clamping his hand over her mouth “You can’t let her hear you.”

“We could get her a pony and…”

Faith giggled as her friend excitedly whispered more ideas. “I bet I could get a pony from Zen’s rescue.”

“Suprise!”

“We wanted to celebrate our friends birthday!” Faith said throwing some confetti on Adi while Gigi put a pointed hat on her, “Today is the day you can to the League and we are so happy you are part of our team.”

“And we have ice cream and cake and gifts!” Gigi said, “And Zen brought a pony from the rescue!”

Jaime took her hand and lead her through the party all her friends were there including a few new ones like Tim Drake and Jennifer who gave her a small pack of cards. “For when you just need some time to yourself,” she said smiling.

After playing a ton of party games and just spending time laughing with friends Jaime dragged her outside away from the crowds of adoring friends.

“I… I got you something” he said fighting with someone behind his back. Adi tried to peek excitement building.

“What is it?” she said trying again to see behind his back as he kept moving laughing.

“Hold on and I will show you” once she was standing still, well floating, Jaime pulled out a small felt box opening it with a beautiful small sapphire necklace. “It’s the color of your eyes” he mumbled. “Happy Birthday.”

I made this Lucy (x/&) Adi moodboard/aesthetic or whatever (i really made six but let the birthday girl choose which she liked best to post) for @coffee-randomness who is someone i love to bits (one of many but :P). It comes with a drabble which feels incomplete to me but all my things feel that way to me so *shrug* ~~~~~ Since the first time visiting the church with Jaime, Adi had visited the church repeatedly to learn more from Lucy. She only ever asked Lucy and if Lucy wasn’t around when she arrived she would shyly ask one of the older people there if they had seen her. Adi mentally wrote it down to her having quite a few lackluster experiences with the adults in her life, her worst were with her genetic parents who were young but she was constantly surrounded by other teens so she couldn’t really be wary of them as she could with adults. Beyond that, Adi felt safer asking Lucy even with the almost confused looks she received when she didn't know about something that was well known or an everyday common occurrence. Lucy had not yet asked her about it and Adi was growing to see Lucy as a friend just from her kindness when they saw each other. ~ “but how can you be certain? I doubt your god loves me. I am well aware that i am an abomination” said Adi with an almost careless shrug of her shoulders though there was a tightness around her mouth where she was pressing her lips together. “how can you say that? Adi, he loves everyone. No matter their circumstances, he loves you just as much as he loves me or any of the sisters” Lucy explained for what likely felt like the hundredth time. Lucy had come to get a better understanding of Adi just by the words she said. From what she had gathered, Adi had likely been an unplanned teen pregnancy where the couple kept her but through neglect and apathy had drilled so much self hate into their daughter that she couldn't believe anyone could love her. It made Lucy unbelievably sad for the girl. ~ “i have a secret i want to tell you that I probably shouldn't…” Adi said hesitantly before adding “i have something i can show you to prove it after… after i tell you,” She glanced over at Lucy with searching eyes as if to see if Lucy’s reaction to that would be negative. “well firstly, you know Jaime? He has been a great friend at helping me learn things after i was found in a lab. I wasn't born so much as created…” Adi hedged trying to explain it delicately but one glance at Lucy made Adi start to wonder if she should rush through it like Bart. “okay, here it is plain and as simple as i know how to make it. I was created in a lab called Cadmus. My quote unquote parents are the ones known as Starfire and Superboy. I have many of Starfire’s powers and only know a few of Superboy’s that i have. There might be more that i can do that is undiscovered as of yet.” Adi paused to take a breath. “Neither Starfire or Superboy were aware i was being made and when an anonymous tip came in to the Justice League that Cadmus Labs might have something that would interest them, Superman was one of the ones that went to investigate. That was when they found me, i was only ten weeks old and looked ten.” Adi took another pause to breathe. “I was unresponsive for three days and when i finally responded my quote unquote parents basically told me they couldn't be my parents but could totally be my siblings. I might have accepted that but when they were taking me to see some medical personnel, i stopped walking for a moment and saw them keep walking as well as how tense their shoulders were. That was when i knew i was a mistake in their eyes.” Adi finished taking another breath and hesitating to look at Lucy. As the silence stretched as Lucy digested what she had been told, Adi felt a growing desire to bolt away as she began fearing that she had made a mistake. Before Lucy had time to react, Adi's communicator went off signaling that she had to go to the Cave for a mission. “I have to go, i’ll come back… sorry” Adi said before she hurried to leave and reach a Zeta tube. ~ “can you show me?” Lucy asked when Adi visited again. Adi looked nervous but gave a nod before taking a deep calming breath. Adi's face was screwed up in concentration before she started floating and one of her hands started to glow blue faintly as she made a starbolt. She then slowly let the starbolt fade in her hand before she gently landed on the ground again. “oh wow” Lucy said barely above a whisper. Adi could almost see the gears turning in Lucy’s head as she digested this information. When Lucy seemed to finally make a decision, she grabbed Adi's hand and spoke,”So i want to show you something too.” Adi gave a not in understanding though she looked a bit startled. “look at the box on the table over there,” Lucy said and pointed to a small table nearby that had a box on it. Adi looked back and forth between the box and Lucy. Adi looked suprised when the box started to float. “is this the magic tricks that i have heard mentioned before?” Adi asked not rudely but curious and uncertain. Lucy shook her head as she lowered the box before saying “I have been able to do that for as long as i can remember. I have Telekinesis.” “Wow, that is wonderful!” Adi said both quietly and enthusiastically. Adi gave Lucy a warm smile that could be compared to the sun with how it lit up her face. It was a contagious sort of smile and Lucy found herself smiling back. ~ “i am not sure exactly what to believe. I mean two of my friends are goddesses of the norse pantheon and plan to take me to asgard. Another of my friends is an Amazon and i have gone to Themyscira where i met a few of the Hellenistic pantheon. I can't say which is more right or if neither are…” Adi said thoughtfully. Lucy looked almost skeptical about the truth in those words. Not that she didn't believe them possible so much as her having nothing to compare it to. Before she could form a reply, Adi was speaking again “I think i might just live in a state where i allow for the possibility of them all being real and equally likely in validity.” Lucy bit her lip but gave a shrug and a nod when Adi looked to her for her opinion. While Lucy wasn’t sure she would have been able to do the same, Adi's very existence probably gave her a bit of leeway in this sort of thing.

Gigi giggled as Bart pushed her up against the hard concrete of the wall in the dark ally. Her legs were wrapped around his waist as he buried his face in the crook of her neck his thick dark red hair tickling her face. She kissed his head as she ran her fingers through his locks then down his back.

“Well, it looks like someone is having fun” Gigi looked up to see Captain Cold and Icicle Jr. “Is this a bad time?” Captain Cold snickered pulling out his ice gun.

“Oh man! I keep striking out and even that guy got some!” Icicle Jr pouted as he took his position ready to strike.

Gigi felt her feet touch the ground as Bart sped around the two villains. “We were out here looking for you guys!” he laughed.

“We’re glad you came to us!” Gigi said stretching her arms up to an open window so she could get some higher ground. However, Captain Cold shot at her freezing her arms in place.

“Seems to me we caught you a little unaware,” he said taking another step forward before Bart landed a punch on him sending him back.

Gigi quickly tried to break her arms free of the ice as Icicle Jr lunged at her.

Suddenly an arrow hit her arm cracking the ice just enough for her to break free.

“Do I need to start throwing condoms at you guys?” Maia asked giving Icicle Jr a kick to the head as Roy helped Bart tie up Captain Cold.

“We were on a stake out,” Gigi said rubbing her arms trying to get some warmth back into them.

“So yes?” the archer said glancing over at Bart who was waving at the girls.

Bart had her pinned against the couch leaning over her. She smiled up at him as he leaned down kissing her. His warmth spreading over her body as he pressed against her.

“Nope…” Both heroes looked up to see Jennifer coming into her office. Her arms folded over her chest as she eyed them both warily.  “This is a session for just me and Gigi, Bart get out before I get the spray bottle.”

Gigi giggled as Bart bolted up giving her therapist a salute before quickly kissing Gigi one more time then dashing out.

“Maia keeps throwing condoms at us” Gigi giggled as she watched her boyfriend dash out.

“Do I need to have a sex talk with you?” Jen asked sitting down, “Because, from the sound of it, you guys might need one.”

“No, we are totally just in a normal relationship”

“That’s what I’m worried about” Jennifer mumbled pulling out her notebook.

“So wait, this isn’t real?” Gigi asked taking another handful of popcorn from the bowl, her eyes never leaving the screen.

“This is Star Wars,” Jaime stated as if that would clear up any confusion that red haired girl may have had. However, it didn’t as Gigi sighed slowly munching on her popcorn.

“I mean Adi’s mom is an alien from another planet, and you have a magic armor that talks to you.”

“You’re so cute,” Bart said leaning forward kissing her cheek. Gigi turned to him a huge smile on her face.

“Thanks!”

That was all the encouragement he needed. He was on top of her in seconds popcorn flying everywhere. Both Jamie and Adi scooted further to the other side of the couch watching them warily.

“Ese really?” Jamie mumbled glancing at Adi who just giggled her cheeks slightly red. They were in a new relationship and weren’t as… public about it as their two friends.

“Sorry”, Bart said picking her up, “We’ll be right back…” he added giving Gigi another kiss before whisking her away.

All Annabella wanted was a broom, Faith had tried to balance herself on a chair while reaching for a bowl on one of the top shelves. The problem was, unlike a normal human who would just stand on the seat of the chair Faith (being short) needed to stand on the head rest. Which she was (surprisingly) doing until she wasn’t. Annabella wasn’t even sure how it had happened as her cousin went crashing down breaking several bowls and plates on her way down.

Tim had taken her to the medial room while trying to stop her nose from bleeding while Annabella went to get a broom to clean up the shattered glass.

“Faith wasn’t joking” was all she could say as she found Gigi pushed up against one of the shelves while Bart peppered her with kisses. “Can you just hand me a broom?” she added. Gigi quickly grabbed it stretching her arm out to hand it to Annabella who took it and then shut the door again.

“Those two are worst than Maia and Roy.” she mumbled swinging the broom over her shoulder.

“Who is worse than us?” Maia asked

“Check the closet”

Have you gotten any asthetic requests? If its still open can i request one for adi, adi x jaime, or maybe something for adi&marisol&anani ? I am interested in what you would come up with and will be super happy with any of these if you do them.

No I haven't gotten any aesthetic requests. But I mean I'll gladly take all of those. I would just need a bit of a character description for each oc and their faceclaim. You can go ahead and pm the details.

Dealings between A’s

A Drabble between my DC OC ‘Adi’ and my (mostly) x-men OC ‘Anani/Ani’.

This is 100% more like the Adi i imagined in my head. i think that it also is like 90% a closer version of how i imagined Anani as well. 

though like mentioned they are a bit more lighthearted in this than they might be otherwise because: ’we feed off of each other’s positive energy’/emotions.

“Adi” Anani yelled with a grin as her best friend turned and started floating as she beamed in return. “Ani!” Adi flew over to her and gave her a tight hug. “the soups here giving you trouble?” Anani asked with a smile as she pulled back enough to look Adi in the eyes. Adi gave a sad smile at the inside joke before replying “no more than usual. My genetic parentage was found but they weren’t completely happy.” 

Anani raised an eyebrow and waited for Adi to continue. “my ‘father’ was very angry at Cadmus while my ‘mother’ was mostly in shock. ‘father’ tried being kind but he and his genetic parent were lukewarm at best. ‘mother’ was kinder but you could tell it wasn’t something she had wanted.” Adi admitted. Anani looked rather unhappy. 

“it is understandable to be mad at someone else for this but you didn’t deserve that” Anani said with a deep frown. “are you certain it was you they were being lukewarm to? You are rather sensitive to any perceived slight” Anani commented tilting her head. She didn’t want Adi thinking she didn’t believe her nor did she want to make her feel like her emotions were invalid but she felt Adi needed to at least hear these things if only so she could work through her issues a bit. 

Adi sighed looking a mix between very sad and very angry. “they didn’t even notice Ani. They had just gotten me to react after not reacting for who knows how long and … they didn’t notice me slow down or stop as they were leading me… I make them uncomfortable… I am no better than an abomination to them.” Adi vented and covered her eyes as tears slipped out.

“oh Adi” Anani spoke softly pulling her friend close. “I doubt they think that and if they do then they obviously don’t deserve you. But have you even given them the chance to know you since then? Or have you with-held yourself to protect your heart from any possible pain?” Anani asked resting her chin on Adi’s shoulder.

“the wrongs you believe were done to you… have you ever asked them if they felt that way? Whether you like the answer or not… you can’t always believe that they will harm you or you will never live because you will see the pain as too much to bear” Anani spoke and knew that her friend might never agree. Adi was well known for holding a grudge and the fact that it was her parents made it all that much worse. 

A child rejected by those supposed to love them would likely forever struggle to love themselves or forgive the rejection even as the parent struggled to make amends. “I just… I wanted them to like me… I wanted them to care that I existed… but they don’t… I am just a burden to them. Making sure my powers don’t cause problems…” Adi said with angry tears.

“sending me off to some therapist to talk out my problems but never coming to hear it themselves…putting me on a team where no one really even bothers to get to know me beyond knowing where I might be of the most use…” Adi was shaking as she struggled not to start sobbing or lashing out. She didn’t want to hurt her friend though she knew Ani could protect herself. They had drifted to kneeling on the floor.

Anani pulled back and lightly ran her fingers through Adi’s hair. “you, my dear, feel things very intensely. I am feeling the need to intervene and maybe threaten some Rents” Anani said and smiled at the small teary smile pulling on Adi’s trembling lips. “you’re a dick” Adi muttered and Anani gasped in fake offense. 

“Actually, no I am not. I know where to find two though” she teased and laughed when Adi turned red in embarrassment. “Who taught you such language anyways?” Anani asked with a raised eyebrow and an smirk. “Red Hood” Adi said and started giggling. She fell back to sit on her behind and Anani did the same.

“Besides that apparent questionable person and the Rents, you have any friends?” Anani asked with her head tilting in question. “I am mostly acquaintances but I am kinda friends with Blue Beetle and Impulse” Adi said with a shy shrug. Anani smiled replying “only kinda? Well I am glad you have some sorta friends at least”. 

Adi stuck her tongue out muttering “you Butt! I’d have more if you stayed”. “you know well enough why I can’t stay. My boys would be lost without me” Anani with a sassy wink. Adi rolled her eyes. “How do you survive them? I can barely stand them for five minutes” Adi said sounding fondly exasperated. “It’s like herding cats” Anani admitted with a gleeful grin. 

“One of them even purrs. I just put the other in a force field bubble and he pouts so much but if I don’t then I put the force field around myself to avoid the speedy fingers taking my snacks” Anani laughed a bit and Adi supposed she couldn’t fault her friend as she looked so happy speaking about them. “I wish I could do that to Impulse. I lose so many snacks to that guy” Adi commented and Anani Laughed.

“I missed you. You make things better” Adi mumbled looking a bit nostalgic. “I keep things light, you mean? I joke myself hoarse around you and then go be a grump around those in the X-Men. I am surprised they haven’t called for an intervention” Anani commented with a lightly teasing tone. “I meant that I feel less bottled up or like I might explode” Adi replied looking as if she might be offended. Anani just grinned.

“I suck all your negative feelings out like a leech or something” Anani said and ruffled Adi’s hair. Adi pulled away and shook her head. “stop that, you menace” Adi gave a fake growl and laid back on her back.  “we feed off of each other’s positive energy and then have nothing left to share with anyone else.” Anani said in a fake serious voice. 

Adi grinned and rolled her eyes. “Okay Doctor Phil, what’s your diagnosis then” Adi asked and Anani used her hand to rub her chin before replying “well obviously we need to take a field trip. I am sure everyone would think you are an alien if they could see you like this”

Adi raised an eyebrow before commenting “Ani… Technically I am mostly an alien”. Anani felt a smile tug at her lips. They had just glanced at each other before they started busting up laughing which made Anani fall over. They spent more than a few minutes struggling to stop laughing only to glance at the other and start laughing all over again. 

Anani started jokingly whining about her ribs and stomach hurting while Adi was struggling to cover her nose to hide the occasional snort that embarrassed her when she laughed. Anani finally started calming down enough to add “but seriously Adi… you should introduce me to your team mates. Let them know there is someone they can call if they need help making you feel more like yourself. You take too much weight on your shoulders, Lady B”. 

Adi quieted and gave a little sigh before sitting up. “as long as you never speak that nickname in front of them…. I can only imagine them asking what it means.” Adi said with an over dramatic sigh. “I’d say it deals with either Ladybugs or Ladybirds. Could be worse like how I sometimes call you gingersnap or sweet pea or jellybean or peppermint P” Anani said with a shrug and a teasing wink. 

Adi only groaned and fell backwards to land on her back to hide her embarrassed smile. “you, Sir, shall be the death of me” Adi said and then started miming being stabbed to death. “Ha Ha very funny” Anani said with as straight a face as she could manage as she tried to not start laughing again.
