Ultimate Escape Room

Sam, Danny, and Tucker are bored. Nothing seems to be a challenge anymore. Summer vacation is coming up but they can’t agree on anything . Themepark? What’s a better roller coaster than Jack driving? Scary movie? I’m sorry, nothing beats Fright Knight’s nightmare realm. Bungie jumping? Danny can fly. Then Tucker, who’s been typing on his computer, asks “what about an escape room?”. The others are about to shut the idea down because seriously? Easy. But Tucker just grins and shows them his computer screen.

“Ever heard of Arkham?”

Danny and Sam lean over to read the description and all three turn to each other and grin. 

Now, what’s the fastest way to get into Arkham?

…

So the chaos trio do ✨something✨ that gets them locked up in Arkham and then try to escape and they keep. You know, normal stuff for Arkham inmates. Except this trio? Keep. Getting. Out. Of. Their. Cells. So they are just passing by locked up rogues and waving at them as an army of prison guards chase after them. Sure they could get out the easy way (Aka powers) but no, this is a challenge so they have the normal rules of an escape room. Aka, you can’t break anything and an extra rule where if a guard catches you, then you can’t fight back (also, no one can get hurt). (They make fake identities and everything). So they need to go through the whole process. Figure out how to unlock cuffs. Could be learning to pick a lock with a spoon/stick/long nails. Then find the keys. Possibly having to crawl through vents to get in the warden’s office. Or making deals with prison inmates. Like, I’ll get this for you if you give me that (however they extract a promise that the rogue can’t kill anyone with whatever they help them with.) So they are in prison literally doing errands like find freeze’s weapons in exchange for him telling them the passcode to the gate or something. Or getting Waylon some meat from the cafeteria and he’ll break the lock on this movable vault that has materials to make smoke bombs they can use to distract the front guards. 

These kids are just going wild and it gets to the point where Arkham has to call the bats (like no Waylon, we won’t escape with you, we have to do it without breaking any walls!) So literally the only reason they are not escaping is because they want to do it ‘right’. But they are also aiding other rogues in their escape (at least certain ones. They aren’t helping joker no matter what he offers)

It’s driving the bats mad. They have vigilantes stationed in each hall, in multiple monitor rooms.

They aren’t even using anything clever to block the cameras. They’re using mirrors. Mirrors! Where did they even get so many handheld mirrors! 

They are running circles around the bats. The escaped rogues literally aren’t doing anything yet because they want to see how the three hellions will escape the entire bat clan. They have bets going. So there is a temporary truce.

Just imagine the conversations/interrogations the bats will have with trio, trying to figure out their master plan - because surely there's something more going on than three chaos young adults playing a game, right?

They trio each have a different story. And they are so passionate/convincing actors that no one knows which story is real. At least one of them told a sob story with legitimate tears.

Danny: (all mysterious) You shall never know our master plan….until it is too late. And just casually dropping hints that there is something greater or that the bats are playing right into their hands. Even using ridiculous scenarios like yesss the ketchup explosion in the cafeteria….We are one step further….Mwa ha ha! (Rubs his hands together)

Sam: (absolutely distraught with literal tears running down her face and ruining her mascara.) There is a terrible organization holding their parents hostage. They had been framed and forced to be in Arkham. If they don’t do exactly as they are told, their loved ones are in danger! Should we stay? Should we escape and help them!? No one will believe us and what if we make things worse? We don’t know what to do!

Tucker: (takes a long slurp of a smoothie. Where he got one? No one knows). Yeah we were bored and had nothing better to do than mess with you guys. (Sluuuuurp).

The bats are trying to figure it out. Is the black haired guy telling the truth and the other two are just manipulating them? Is it the girl and the others are only following the plot of the organization? IS THE BARET KID RIGHT AND THEY’RE JUST MESSING WITH US!? WHICH STORY IS IT!?

Under normal circumstances, Sam wouldn’t give a sob story because It’s not really her vibe. But Sam has the opportunity to pull one over on a bat. Do you honestly think she won’t take a chance to mess with them? Also, Dick is the one who is interrogating Sam.

He’s crying too by the end of the story.

Poor guy, Sam will play his heart like a fiddle. 

Also, their fake identities are Jordan for Danny. Mortica for Sam (or Macey for short) and Phineas for Tucker. The fact that they are using fake identities is the only thing they all agree on in the interview. But the bats find nothing on them and the identities are so realistic they wonder if they are even fake at all. If the three are faking fake IDs to throw them off their tail from looking deeper. Apparently their ‘parents’ having a missing persons report.

Damian is interrogating Danny. It’s just so easy to rile him up and get under his skin. It’s absolute drama in that interrogation room. 

Danny: ah yessss. Master plan.

Damian: you shall never succeed! Justice shall prevail evil scum!

And Duke is interrogating Tucker. He just…has no idea how to respond to this. He wasn’t trained for this response. Hostile, yes. Mysterious, yes. Scared, yes. Civilian, yes. Even Flirtatious! YES! But not…this. What does he do? should he take out his note cards?

Also, I’m adding a mix of home alone elements to this. They have to get past the bats somehow and it can’t be lethal. Poor Jason and Steph who are patrolling the halls fall victim to most of this.

At one point, both of them are tied up together and hanging from the ceiling. While the trio just casually walk by under them. 

It’s dental floss. Really strong dental floss.

Then the bats start taking sides. 

Jason? once he hears Sam's story, he's immediately willing to help her. He and Dick are searching for that missing person's report almost religiously.

Tim believes Danny's story. part of it is because it makes the most sense, and the other part is that he's slightly biased from becoming an evil megalomaniac in every timeline he's seen so he's subconsciously trying to stop that from happening here.

Cass believes Tucker because come on, it's Cass.

Steph is siding with Tim because her father was cluemaster so same reasons.

Bruce is trying to fact check all of them and is failing desperately.

Sam added some ‘clues’ in her interrogation and basically threw the GIW under the bus as the organization. So the bats do find a shady organization but so far no missing persons so the other bats still don’t know if what Sam is saying is true or not while Dick takes this as absolute proof and Jason feels like it doesn’t matter if she’s telling the truth at this point. It’s a corrupt organization. So he’ll still blow it up.

I think in this AU, the GIW isn’t a threat and more of an annoyance so Sam just plays them up as even worse. Like, she doesn’t say anything untrue just makes it sound worse out of context. Oh yeah, they opened fire on this random kid. (Gregory when they thought he was phantom) Oh yes, they have destroyed Danny’s house at one point. (The prank war with Vlad) Yes, the have an unhealthy obsession with dissecting people. (Even though they are too incompetent to actually catch anyone).

So again, they don’t know if Sam is telling the truth of the organization or they just used this random organization to draw their attention away from the three’s plans (as Danny implied). Possibly an enemy organization or a competitor.

I know everyone makes the GIW a big threat but I decided to change it up. They aren’t a threat but still get obliterated by a pissed off Red Hood and Nightwing.

And that’s  another reason why Sam gives the sob story. Danny and Tucker are great but they wouldn’t actually sick a crime lord on the GIW. Sam? Absolutely would. She does not care what happens to them. They tore up her garden one time with a stray shot. She wants revenge. And sure, she didn’t actually know what would happen to them after the bats find out but she still doesn’t care.

And through all of this, the rogues are sitting back and eating popcorn while Joker screams bloody murder from his cell.

I though I'd end up stopping at the Hotel babies but nnnope I saw Adam so I had to- and I had way too much fun??

He'd totally get the zoomies and knock things over on purpose XD (Lute would look like she's judging but would absolutely just join in)

[hoperays-song]

I've realized that there's this specific type of found family that I adore where it's just this one extremely concerning kid going around doing all this dangerous and reckless stuff and just summoning all these parental figures to them who all end up so stressed out and going "Kid, kid no. Go get some sleep, take care of yourself. Please, I can't keep doing this. Please just stop."

better be careful, that mic isn’t frank-proofed~🎃

[waterfallofspace]

Person A: tshhieew!

Person B: Bless you, poor little thing~

Not enough fics and headcanons where Levi is an agent of chaos (by accident). This man lived in the Underground for his entire life before being recruited by the Scouts and you're telling me he didn't have a single hiccup when acclimating? No this man gets introduced to vanilla bar soap and takes a big ol' bite outta it because he thinks it's food. It tastes like shit but Levi's had to eat gross food his whole life. He's just deeply disappointed that apparently Above has shit food too.

Cue the entire Scout regiment being fucking terrified of this 5'3 gremlin who won't stop drinking lemon scented cleaner because he can't tell the difference between that and lemonade. He licks a scented candle in front of Shadis and Erwin, makes unbreaking eye contact while doing it and then walks away.

Levi is embarrassed as fuck because he figured out it was a scented candle right AFTER he liked it and he's like "oh my god they think I'm DISGUSTING I bet Erwin thinks I'm GROSS NOW" but honestly Shadis and Erwin are like "what is he planning what does he know."

Husk: *traps a spider under a cup*

Niffty: *appears with two identical cups*

Husk: no-

Niffty: *sets them down and starts to shuffle them*

> In addition to Noah, who’d returned to his human form, Sung Hyunjae also came with us to see if he could find anything to do. Go away.

At this point, I'm not even surprised that Hyunjae just magically appears when Yoojin is going out somewhere. Now I just wait for this moment and every time it works like a Swiss clock. And this "Go away" is just👌

Wait, I need to do a few more Magnificent Bastard Dream of the Endless and Feral Chaos Gremlin Hob Gadling Headcanons:

a. We forget that Dream of the Endless is a King and he's ruled the Dreaming and dealt with politics and bullshit and diplomacy within the various worlds for countless ages. Just because he's a walking disaster in his personal life doesn't equate to his skills as a monarch and he has them. Queen Titania of Faerie and Lucifer can attest to Dream's utter ruthlessness and deviousness in outwitting them and they hate him for it.

b. Queen Titania especially has her panties in a twist because of this. Once upon a time, she wanted Dream of the Endless to be another one of her bedroom conquests, because let's face it, Dream is beautiful and can easily rival Desire in the attractiveness department. (That's part of the reason why Desire is also jealous of their brother too.) The Queen of Faerie has never forgotten that one time she and Dream had a Thing and she wants him back in her bed, but he's never indicated that he wants to repeat the experience and now she hears that the King of All Night's Dreaming had the gods-be-damned audacity to prefer some human over her?! The insult! This cannot be borne!

c. So imagine Queen Titania trying to come up with some Nefarious Plan™ to get back at Dream of the Endless, maybe using Puck to do some serious mischief. Just enough to piss Dream off but he can't completely pin it on her, not without dragging the Dreaming and the lands of Faerie into an all out war with the Dreaming coming out as the unfair aggressor in the eyes of all the realms.

d. But Dream isn't an idiot, of course and he figures out what she's trying to pull, but he has his beloved rogue of a consort by his side. Robert Gadling has been a courtier in the treacherous court of Queen Elizabeth I and survived that snake pit and come out the richer for it. He's perfectly happy to lend his Feral Chaos Gremlin skills to his darling husband and the two of them are going to revel in this. The Unseelie Courts aren't going to know what hit them.

(Fine, fine, fine. I'm going to write all this soon.)

This tiny bit from ep 7 of the The Truth S2 is a fine example of how every time the lights go out on that show Liu Yuning gloms on to someone, but very specifically how in almost every single episode he ends up holding Zhang Linghe's hand.

99% of Trad Pub: The goal of a good book is to use an easy to relate to character as a lens to explore profound plots and interesting experiences.

Me: The goal of a good book is to use interesting events to fully lay bare the depths of the souls of people who represent the weirdest little fuckers the world has to offer.
