Ranking DC Pride 2024

8. Phantom Rodeo (Jules Jourdain/Circuit Breaker, Jay Garrick/The Flash)

Dead last because 1 - it's not self-contained. 2 - it has nothing to do with anything Pride related and 3 - it's the return of the complete rando from last time. At least before the incredibly cool couple of Jess/Flash and Andy/Aquawoman featured heavily but no, because of detractor 1 Jay is here instead. Personally, I don't care about Circuit Breaker and I really hope someone else gets their spot next year.

7. "Hello, Spaceboy" (Starman/Mikaal, Komak)

If I knew who either of these characters were, this would probably be a lot higher. But the competition this year is steep so at 8 they go. Komak and the blue-purple warp zone 80s color pallet is REALLY slick. I thought I was familiar-ish with Starman but clearly there are multiple people running around with that name who have nothing to do with the JSA.

6. "Lessons in Astral Projection" (Nia Nal/Dreamer)

I stopped watching the CW shows that weren't about Black Lightning or Batwoman a looong time before Dreamer was intro'd (or after? I know I wasn't watching Flash way before she came along) but I knew of her and thought her powers and connection to the Legion of Superheroes was cool. I didn't like that there was no confrontation with Maeve in the story but it definitely would have gotten in the way of the feel-good affirmation vibe of the story.

5. Spaces

I'm 99% sure I've seen mention of Phil Jimenez across various DC fan spaces, so the only surprises here were that he was LGBT and that they were bringing back the real-person issue-ender like they did Mr. Conroy. It was nice seeing his journey, and it being so well-told is a real plus. No superheroes anywhere in sight though, save Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman.

4. Marasmius (Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy, Janet-from-HR)

Now THIS one was a ride. The opening left me a little rudderless and I'm not the biggest Harlivy fan so I thought I wasn't gonna get much out of this but if there's one thing I can believe, it's that if we had interplanetary travel the 'phobes would preach their nonsense across the galaxy. Ivy being an anti-villain is used to great effect here. No hand-wringing about morals, no reasoning with hate. Just do unto others as they would do unto. VERY cathartic.

3. Bros Down In A-Town (Jon Kent/Superman, Jay Nakamura, Ray Terrill/The Ray, Miguel Barragan/Bunker)

This one 3rd because I relate heavy to feeling weird about being openly LGBT out and about in public. I thought it was a surprising feeling that doesn't get touched on a whole lot because people generally don't like to see that type of real queer struggle being depicted in media that's supposed to be heavy on escapism. This artstyle though. I follow the artist on twitter because it fascinates me how one person's character can bleed through so transparently in the way they draw.

2. The Rivers and the Lakes that You're Used To (Jackson Hyde/Aquaman, Ha'Wea, Orion)

My bias for Jackson Hyde is showing but this story was also incredibly cool on its own merits. Orion being stone-facedly het for half of it was a choice but my boys showed up and officially got together - which I was surprised to learn hadn't happened long before now - so of course it shot up further in the rankings than it otherwise may have. Him saying he feels like himself when he's around his boyfriend is just *chef's kiss*.

1, Steeling Time (Natasha Irons/Steel, Traci Thirteen/Traci 13, John Constantine, Xanthe Zhou)

Natasha and Traci's appearances were the only things about this I got spoiled on, but after reading this they've instantly shot up to join Jackson and Ha'Wea in my pantheon on ships. I do like how it showed the steps to reconciliation and they were both still clearly open to the idea of rekindling things eventually. But this artstyle makes me want to see a webtoon of these two YESTERDAY.

They decide to work together to get the Avengers home. But not not everything is instantaneous, so the Avengers need a place to stay. The only place available is Wayne Manor.

Que Batfamily shenanigans!

Multi-chapter fanfic, with some one shots that go along with the plot thrown in.

Notes:

This is my first time writing anything with the Avengers - especially a deaf!clint - and the Batfam, so I apologize if anything is doc. Constructive criticism is appreciated!

This is mainly comic DCU with Movie Avengers (Set after the first avengers movie, plus Spiderman, cause I can ;-)

Crack! Bang! There was a flash of blindingly bright light, followed by a huge explosion.

"Wha- where are we?"

Tony Stark looked over to Peter who had been the first to speak. Crap, the kid had come here too. But wherever here was, he did not know.

Tony, Steve, Hulk, Thor, Clint, Peter, and Natasha stood in a loose clump at the center of a smoking crater. The sky was cloudy  and dark, and they appeared to be at least five miles outside of a big city, judging from the buildings in the distance. There was also a highway filled with streaming cars a couple of miles to Tony’s right.

“This isn’t right,” He muttered, opening his faceplate. Where were the sunny tropical trees that housed the compound of Anagnorisis - weird name, he knew - who was some D-list villain who thought some slightly advanced tech made them a world-conqueror. But Tony was beginning to think that those guns were a bit stranger and more advanced than he had previously believed.

“Tell me about it,” replied Steve. “Any idea where we are? Was it some sort of teleportation gun that was shot at us? This looks nothing like the Amazon.”

Before anyone could speak, Tony received a notification. Multiple incoming objects were approaching, fast . With the exception of the second fastest, they seemed to be airborne. “Multiple incomings, perhaps hostile. Most are flying. And they aren’t missiles. I think people ? But -”

“Who are you?”

Suddenly the first object arrived, and Stark was right. It was a black haired man in a blue skin tight suit with a red “S” on it and a flowing red cape. It would look ridiculous if he wasn’t glaring daggers at the group while flying .

He was joined almost immediately by another man, this time wearing an all red bodysuit with a lightning bolt on the chest and cowl. He was not flying though. He stopped in front of them swinging his arms as lightning dissipated. He had run there.

Next came a woman dressed in the colors of the american flag, with golden cuffs, tiara, and lasso by her side. She came with a man in a green, white, and black skin tight suit with some sort of symbol - perhaps a lantern? - on his chest. He also wore a green ring and black domino mask with white lenses on his face. They were both joined by another, a split second later. This was by far the strangest arrival. He was completely bald, with green skin and red eyes. He wore navy blue pants and cape, with only a red “X” over his chest. All three were floating.

“Who are you?” The blue and red man repeated.

Tony scoffed. Was this guy serious? “We’re the Avengers, obviously.”

The group shared a look. “Is that some new kind of villain group? I swear to all that is good and holy if I need to deal with another group who think they can rule the world, I. Will. Quit.” This time the man who spoke was the runner.

Steve replied, confusion clear on his face. “We’re not villains! We’re the Avengers; Earth’s mightiest heroes!”

Instead of coming to their senses, the strangely dressed newcomers laughed .

“You do realize you are speaking to members of the Justice League?” The woman spoke, her lips pursed.

“The who now?”

“Be quiet Kid, we don’t know what we’re dealing with.” Tony spoke to Peter. He was getting more worried by the second. Something was seriously wrong.

“Dealing with?” The green dressed man frowned, clearly suspicious of the Avengers. He started to fidget with his ring. “Well, since you don’t seem to know, let me enlighten you.” He gestured to each of his companions. “Superman, son of Krypton. Wonder Woman, Amazonian Princess. The Flash, fastest man alive. Martian Manhunter, well, a martian. And Me, Green Lantern. Member of the Green Lantern Core.”

Well, that explained everything. Not.

“We do not know you, strangers.” Thor spoke this time. “Perhaps you leave us be, our green friend over here gets frustrated easily.” He pointed to Hulk, who was breathing heavily.

The green man - martian, apparently - spoke for the first time. “Not until you tell us who you are and why you are in a smoking crater near His city.”

“His?” Clint clearly did not like the way the martian spoke of this character. To be honest, Stark didn’t either.

This got the most surprised reactions from the five. They looked at each other, and Tony could have sworn there was a hint of fear in their faces.

“Oh, He is so not going to like that.” Green Lantern said.

“Combined with the fact that we ditched Him.” The Flash cringed. Then looked worried again. “Yo, green grape, you okay.

The Hulk’s breathing was growing heavier, his face contorted into that of utter rage.

“Uh-oh,” Steve said.

“I . . . Not . . . GRAPE!” Hulk roared as he charged the The Flash who nimbly dodged. Superman went down to intercede, and just got punched by the Hulk. Though it did not seem to physically bother him, he was clearly angry.

Tony shut his face plate and moved forward, intending to stop the fight, but he only got attacked by the martian. Peter jumped forward to help, and soon everyone was fighting.

Thor was pitted against the Wonder Woman, and they seemed evenly matched.  Black Widow was against The flash, and despite his incredible speed she seemed to be almost winning. Both Hawkeye and Captain America were battling Green Lantern.

No one seemed to have the upper hand, which worried Tony. These people were tough. If they couldn’t beat them . . . he didn’t know what would happen.

Peter didn’t seem to share his worry though. He instead seemed to be having fun. Tony could tell the kid was smiling beneath his mask, and his body language screamed hyper and happy. He seemed to get that way whenever they fought together, and a small part of Tony was filled with a sense of parental pride.

The fight seemed endless, no one gaining traction. Until something incredible happened. Thor threw Mjolnir directly at his opponent, and instead of being knocked down like everyone else, she caught the hammer. Every Avenger - even the Hulk - immediately froze, catching the attention of the newcomers.

“This is a very well crafted weapon, though a bit clunky,” Wonder Woman said as she tossed the hammer from one hand to the other. She paused, seeing their reactions.

“You are worthy.” Thor spoke with disbelief and a tint of resignation in his voice.

“Pardon?” Superman spoke, his frown apparent.

“Only those worthy can lift Mjolnir - my hammer. She clearly can, which means that you are trustworthy.”

*****

Five minutes of somewhat confused conversation later, they had reached an uneasy truce. Neither spoke much at first, but they soon began to compare notes. Apparently They both believed themselves to be the protectors of Earth, which brought on a bout of argument before Peter stepped in.

“Woah hold on, calm down. Something is clearly up, so there’s no need to argue!”

Wonder Woman looked contemplative. “How old are you boy, you seem young.”

Peter bristled. “I’m 15, and I’ve been a superhero for a while now, so I’m not inexperienced!”

Green Lantern laughed. “That’s not what she met, kid. We aren’t going to tell you how old you need to be to fight crime. The amount of we work with, and some even younger than you . . .” He shook his head and laughed. Then he realised how he had sounded. “I mean, we don’t force them, it's up to each individual to make that choice for themselves. Well, with the mentor’s approval of course.”

Natasha furrowed her brows. “How young are some of these kids?” Tony knew she had a thing against child soldiers, so he wasn’t surprised she was disapproving.

Green Lantern looks to the Flash. “How old is Robin at this point? 9?”

Flash laughed. “Naw, that little devil is 11. He was very adamant on that fact when he threatened me with his katana.” He shook his head.

Green Lantern laughed. “Yeah, most of the others are teenagers. Robin is the youngest, and I’d say most deadly, but Red Hood . . .”

“The Dark Knight really does have a problem,” Flash said.

His last comment made Green Lantern freeze. They both looked at each other then turned to Peter.

“Kid, stay away from The Dark Knight.” Green Lantern says.

“Yeah, if He sees you, there’s no way you’ll ever leave.”

“He’s the most dangerous man on earth,” Green Lantern adds.

“Guys, stop. You’re scaring him.” Superman looks disappointedly at the two heroes who Tony pegged as the trouble makers of the group. This idea was further cemented in Tony when they started laughing. Despite this, he decided to keep Peter as far away from this supposed Dark Knight as possible.

“Speak of the devil, he’s on his way.” Superman says this with a smile, then he cringes. “And we’re going to get an earful alright. Ten minutes ahead of him is a big deal apparently.”

In a moment. Tony got an alert that something was approaching. Fast. Soon he saw a large black military type armoured car fly down the highway from the city and off the road. It zoomed toward them.

It was a sight indeed to see the menacing black car swerve and expertly stop a few yards from the group. The top opened and a dark form shot straight up before landing in a kneeling position in front of them. The figure rose, and Tony got the first good look at him. He was a tall man with a broad chest and shoulders, dresses in complete black. There was a bat-like symbol on his chest, also in black. He wore a cape that flowed around menacingly. His face was covered by a cowl with pointed ears, like that of an owl, or perhaps a bat. The only part of his costume that was not black was the dark gold utility belt at his waist. Altogether, he was utterly frightening.

Tony took a step forward, effectively blocking Peter, who scoffed.

“Batman,” Superman said, a smile on his face.

Batman fixed the most impressive and terrifying glare upon the man that Stark had ever seen. “You broke protocol by going ahead of me. You are in my territory Superman. And you know that I cannot fly or run at the speed of sound.” He fixed his glare on the rest of his group who all reacted with either flinches or sheepish shrugs.

Batman grunted before looking at the Avengers. He sized each of them up, staying longest on Stark. Tony felt as if his entire being was being stripped away under the scrutiny.

“Alternate Dimension jumpers, not by choice I’m assuming.”

He spoke so simply that it took a minute for Tony to react. Even then, the man was already on his way back to his car.

“We’re near Gotham, let’s regroup at the Cave.”

Tony didn’t know what this Cave was, but he wasn’t sure he liked it. “Are you the Dark Knight?” He asked, before he lost his nerve.

The man looked immediately at the Flash and Green Lantern, who looked both scared and amused. Their sheepish smirks and chuckles dissipated when Batman looked away and back to Tony.

“The Dark Knight, The World’s Greatest Detective, The Caped Crusader, The Batman. All are titles I have earned. See you at the cave.”

And with that he hopped in his car and sped off back toward the gloomy city beyond.

THE FINAL ACT —

The second the lights were down, there was the unmistakeable sounds of a scuffle on stage. Yelling erupted in the crowd as the men guarding the door were overpowered by numerous audience members, vigilantes and civilians included.

Rising above the commotion came a voice that did not belong to the Joker: “Owww, I thought stage floors were supposed to be soft!”

The lights came back up, revealing the puppeteer face-down with Detective Dick Grayson’s knee in his back. It was Chuck Brown, also known as Kiteman, and he was promptly handcuffed and hauled to his feet.

“Well hey Kiddo, normally I’d be happy to see you but I’m kinda in the middle of something right now, so if I ca - ARGH!”

Before Chuck had the opportunity to finish his sentence, Jason Todd’s fist connected hard enough with his nose for him to feel it give. “Where is he!” He hauled back for a second punch but it never had the chance to connect before Kiteman was hauled backwards and out of his reach. 

“Stop!” Dick pulled Chuck back to block him from further injury. “Handle the men with guns. He could still be here.”

Chuck tried to speak again, croaking out a ‘hell yeah’ as a dribble of blood dripped from his mouth. “Heeeeeeey.” He grinned weakly. “You fight good. Think Ol’Chuck’s gonna be seeing stars for a’week.” He chuckled a little. “No Charlie.” He waved his hand feebly. “M’good. Mr. Joker said he rented a theatre so I could put on a show for my boy. He loves puppet shows, are you all here to watch too? Or did he forget to pay the fee?” he asked, blinking a little more, vision clearing as he tried to look around, “He’s usually real good at paying people back?” 

The gravity of the situation was clearly lost on him, even once Dick started reading him his rights.    

As Chuck rambled and Dick went through the process of arresting him, the very vigilantes named by Joker searched for the clown. Instead, they discovered only another piece to the puzzle backstage. It was a recording of Joker reading the script that the puppet show had been following, which made one thing painfully obvious: they’d been had.

SCPD Officer Chris Gates, District Attorney Foggy Nelson, and civilians Roy Harper, Wally West, Bryn Delacroix, and Jon Kent were reported to be suffering from gunshot wounds. No casualties have been reported and all victims have been transported to Star City Memorial Hospital. Multiple vigilantes and civilians responded to the scene and were able to overpower the assailants, distracting and subduing them long enough for responding officers to apprehend all suspects on the scene.

Josh Foley, Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Loki Laufeyson, Scott Summers, Foggy Nelson, Roy Harper, Emma Frost, Gar Logan, Jamie Madrox, Kurt Wagner, Pepper Potts, Wally West, Wanda Maximoff, Jono Starsmore, Pamela Isley, Bryn Delacroix, Chris Gates (COP, SCPD), & Jon Kent.

Beginning- Previous- Next

-----------

You woke with a start- your door getting burst through a few seconds later.

“Thor?” You asked sleepily, raising your head from bed to stare at him.

He came over immediately and jumped onto your bed, squirming around. “Awaken, my lady- it is my turn to take you out again and I plan on using the whole day!” He shifted around, grinning at you.

“Uhm- there was another vote?”

“Pointbreak- you were supposed to wait.” Tony popped in the door frame, “Sorry about him.”

“What exactly is going on?” You asked, propping yourself on an elbow while rubbing one of your eyes.

“I figured it would be more of a surprise if you got out of one of the meetings. That lasted all of,” He checked his watch, “Two and a half minutes.”

“Go away metal man, this is my time with Y/N.” Thor pouted a little.

Tony rolled his eyes dramatically and walked away from the door frame, clicking a few things before he finished walking down the hall. A camera flew in a few seconds later as Thor was staring at you.

“Alright- let me go shower and change.” You yawned, sitting up.

“I will go prepare you the drink of the gods.” He bounced once on his knees before running out of the room.

You snorted, moving into the shower- it seemed like Thor enjoyed coffee almost as much as you did and before you knew it you were humming and then belting out lines from the Coffee Song by Frank Sinatra while washing your hair.

“Lady Y/N, your voice is great!” Boomed from the other side of your shower.

You shrieked a little and gasped as you cleared a peephole from the steam. “Get out!” You shouted, hearing some voices from the other room- multiple people coming through the door.

“What’s going on?” Natasha asked, and you saw at least two heads behind her as she opened the door.

“Everyone, out!” You shrieked again, slipping a little. You saw Thor’s head droop a little as Natasha shot him a look before pulling him out by his ear. You rubbed your face with the warm water and tried to hurry out.

After getting dressed you walked out into your bedroom and saw Thor waiting on the bed.

“I apologize for my interruption. Lady Natasha explained to me what I did wrong. I just-” He stood, grabbing a cup off your end table, “I was bringing you a drink and then I heard your voice and…”

“Came in to hear it?” You sighed, biting your lip. He nodded, holding his hand out with the cup of coffee. You took it and gave him a small smile, “You’re forgiven- this time!” You clarified.

A large grin came over his face and made you giggle a little.

“Well, for all the bad my manners were- one good thing came out of it.” He smirked back to you.

“Oh…?” You tilted your head, taking a sip of coffee.

“Yes! I found a place we can go- as soon as you are ready.” He waited and stared as you took another sip.

“Right.” You said after another minute without him moving or looking away. “Let me put my shoes on and we’ll go.” You grinned, putting your cup down. After finishing, he took your hand and led you excitedly down the hall.

Natasha, Bucky and Steve were sitting down in the living room and someone whistled as you passed- your eyes narrowing into a glare. They all broke into laughter as Thor continued, barely letting you keep up.

Once outside, he turned around to see if there was a car to take.

“Why don’t you just take us again?” You asked and he met your eyes.

“You enjoy it?” He looked unsure until you nodded and he grinned, coming up to you and sliding a hand around your waist. “Ready?”

“Yes!” You grinned, bracing yourself for the ride.

Before you knew it he was placing you on the ground again and you were trying to catch your breath.

“Do you ever get used to it?” You asked, looking up to where you both just were.

He smirked and shrugged, “Somewhat. It’s always more fun with a beautiful woman at one’s side.” He offered his arm and you snorted but took it anyways.

You both walked up the street where you and him walked into a clothes shop together.

“I want you to pick out something.” He grinned.

“What for?” You questioned back, looking around.

“Something comfortable.” He held up a dress with a pattern and stuck his tongue out, putting it back immediately.

You giggled, “I’m already comfy.”

“I want you to get something new! Don’t you like shopping?” He looked over to you and held up a hat with a large bow on it, which he plopped on his own head.

You cracked a grin and shrugged, “It’s fun I guess! I don’t know what’s in style or anything.”

“Hmm..” He tapped his chin, spinning around, “Which color don’t you own?”

You thought for a moment, “I guess I don’t have a lot of pink or purple.”

His eyes widened and then creased into a teasing setting. “May I pick a few things out for you then?”

You gave a nod and he made you wait in a dressing room as he picked out three items. The first was a ridiculous cha-cha dancer costume which you put on and laughed when you saw him holding a set of maracas and in a glimmery hat.

“You look perfect.” You laughed over to him and he took you and spun you.

“You look like a giant ruffle.” He laughed back, spinning you back towards the room.

The next outfit was a white and purple blouse with a black skirt and a pair of heels. You came out and he was wearing a different hat and a scarf, making you burst out again.

“Hmmm-not quite… groovy enough.” He grinned, winking and pointing back into the room.

“Thor, are you sure about this?” You giggled, wheezing a little.

“Of course I am.” You could hear him stifling a laugh.

“Okayyy.” You sighed and blushed, putting on a sequined pink gogo dress with white boots.

When you came out, he was wearing circle glasses and a head scarf and his eyes widened. “Yes- this is it!” He spun you around and nodded. “Perfect.”

“Perfect for what? Are we time traveling?” You laughed, looking down and biting your lip.

“Something like that.” He chuckled, calling the lady over to pay for what he picked out.

--

“We’re going where?” You asked after walking out of a store where he picked out a plaid blazer and opted for another open button on his white dress shirt underneath.

He grinned, pulling you with him inside a building.

“I have a room reserved.” He walked up to the front desk and after giving them his name you followed the man back towards a room.

“We’ll be back shortly to ask if you need anything.” He grinned before shutting the door behind him.

You looked around and saw the mics and equipment around the room. “A karaoke room?”

“I do not know many songs from here but I will follow along to the best of my ability.” He smirked, flipping open the song list book. “Where shall we start?”

“Well I’m guessing from our outfits you want something upbeat and from the 50s or 60s.” You snorted with laughter, helping him go through. You bit your lip, seeing one you liked.

“This one?” He asked, going over to the machine and figuring out where to type in the song number.

Shout by the Isley Brothers started blaring out of the speakers and your face grew red as he picked up two mics and threw you one.

He looked over to the screen and tried to figure out the song. After about thirty seconds of his voice getting louder and more confident he pulled you in and insisted you sing with him, which you somehow found easier and easier as the night- and the drinks- went on.

Hours later, you both fell against the booth, completely exhausted.

“This is so much fun!” You giggled, grabbing a bottle of water off the table.

“Agreed! We should do this again.” He chuckled back, looking through the menu. “Shall we continue here or do you want to leave?”

“Up to you.” Your cheeks were hot and you fanned yourself to try and cool down.

He leaned over and brushed some hair from your face, his touch lingering. “It is nice to see you again. I wish this wouldn’t end.”

You gave him a smile, reddening under his attention. “I like spending time with you as well, Thor.”

After another hour or so, you both decided to grab food elsewhere- still clad in your newly acquired attire. People turned and looked at you both but neither of you seemed to care, you were busy humming songs back and forth trying to get the other to laugh.

--

“I enjoyed our day out.” He turned to you after you both stepped back inside the tower.

“Me too. It was fun time traveling.” You giggled, “Thanks for the dress up as well.”

“You look gorgeous, as always.” He grinned, stepping closer to you. “Are you sure the night has to end?”

Your eyebrow quirked, “What are you suggesting, god of thunder?”

He paused, looking into your eyes, “Maybe we’ll save that for next time. I’ll have something extra in store for you.”

“Oh really?”

He leaned in, his face just in front of yours, “Really.” He winked, making you laugh. Then his expression turned serious, his face leaning even closer- hot breath nearing your mouth. Your eyes closed slowly as his lips met yours, softly. Then he pulled away, “Goodnight, Y/N.”

“Goodnight.” You barely found your voice as your eyes reopened, feet carrying you away from where he stood. Your eyes then met the very red face of Peter. “Peter,” You breathed, trying to process what just happened.

“Y/N, I swear-” He shook his head, “I wasn’t trying to spy on you guys or anything-”

“I get it, Peter.” You bit your bottom lip, looking over his expression. “Will you do me a huge favor?”

He nodded, still flustered.

“Don’t tell anyone about this?”

“Wh-why not?” He asked and then added, “I won’t, of course, if you don’t want me to.”

You nodded, “Good- it’s starting to get hard to determine if everything is for the show or if this is real.” You gave a small smile, “Just trying to process everything.”

“Oh-” He gave a smile back, “I think everyone likes you- if my opinion helps.”

You ruffled his hair, walking past to your room, “Of course your opinion helps, silly.”

         ☆*. IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN. TIME WHERE I HEAD TO THE TAGS TO FIND SOME PARTNERS for specific plots / ships and faceclaim matches / faceclaims. So, hey, hi, give this post a like if you’re interested in any of them or comment which you are on the post or in my ims, and I’ll figure things out from there. P.S. if you want to do a sort of trade system, and pick up two 1x1s, but one where I play a guy for you while the other you play a guy with me, I’m fine with that, I’m just super picky on dude’s faces I like to play, and need to make sure it’s with a plot I feel playing a guy for, and currently I don’t have any of those available. However, I’d look at your wishlist! Anyway, hit me up, guys. Let’s have fun!

SPECIFIC { ISH } PLOTS

DO I MEAN NOTHING TO YOU? This plot { x } has basically killed me even before all the ideas we could think up together. I’m feeling playing Danielle Campbell and would love to see KJ Apa or Nathaniel Buzolic or someone else you see fit as the other if neither of those suit your fancy OR having this be a Sarah Hyland x Dominic Sherwood ship because I love them and I’m REALLY REALLY feeling that match here. But please, hit me up for this. In the specific plots right here, this one's my favorite. #angst

THE PRINCESS AND THE BODYGUARD. Based off of this gif set { x }. I’d play the princess, I have no FC decided for it, so I’ll likely pick based on what you want for yours or something like that. Anyway, She’d be a minx and tease him just like that, and we can figure out other specifics together!

FEMME COSTARS IN LOVE. This plot right here { x }. The FCs are more or less up for thought, but I do want to keep them below 25 in age. I think it works better when they’re younger, so as long as they can pull off 18 - 24, you would be golden. I’d probably want to use Danielle Campbell... Maybe it could be Danielle and Dove. Or Sofia Carson and Dove. Or something else, I’m open to any ideas you have just fill me in.

EXES AND OHS. Following this plot right here { x }. I want all the angst of it as my girl and your character just refuse to acknowledge you never wanted the end or maybe the relationship had been toxic and they both know it so they can’t be together until that changes, et cetera. Bring all the ideas, I’m open.

DIRTY DANCING. I just straight up want the actual plot and era of Dirty Dancing because I love it so so much. I don’t know what face I’d use quite yet { I do like the faces from the tv movie even though that wasn’t great :P }, but yes, I love Frances and Johnny so much, so if you’re interested in playing Johnny, let me know!

SPECIFIC SHIPS

BATCAT AKA CATWOMAN AND BATMAN { PLOT ONE }. I miss playing my Selina Kyle more than words can say, so I want to bring her back in a 1x1 where it’s set in Batman’s world, nonspecific canon, just ideas we have and maybe an amalgam of all of them / how we view it since Selina is how I view her when I play her. Catch? I have specific FCs I want to do this with and those are... Nina Dobrev as Selina Kyle for me and Daniel Gillies as Batman for you. Bring me the BatCat angst. Please. They’re OTP. { CAN BE WITH THE SAME PERSON AS PLOT TWO }.

BATCAT AKA CATWOMAN AND BATMAN { PLOT TWO }. This one is a college AU, I just wanted to put BatCat in college basically and try out my Selina muse there. Which means these faceclaims need to be able to pull off being in college. In my case, I’ll be using Danielle Campbell. Batman is up to you, but remember they have to be able to pull off his doom and gloom, dark, mysterious persona. Good luck! { CAN BE WITH THE SAME PERSON AS PLOT ONE }.

BELLE X ADAM. From the movie. I already have a Modern AU of these two, but I want to play them as they are in the live movie so so much, so bring me a Dan Stevens Beast to go against my Emma Watson Belle. I’d love you for it. A lot.

DIMANYA AKA DIMITRI AND ANASTASIA. No not an AU, I want to do the plot of Anastasia and then on for them more or less where they are who they are, not a plot based around it. And I plan to play Anastasia with Kat McNamara, Dimitri is up to you, but some suggestions are Nathaniel Buzolic, Dominic Sherwood, and Tyler Blackburn in case you need any ideas!

HARLIVY { PLOT ONE }. I’m really interested in a college age / young women out of college age AU for these two. I want to play Poison Ivy / Pamela Isley with a Madelaine Petsch FC, and I was thinking some good matches for Harley would be Carlson Young or Cara Delevigne, but it’s up to you. Either way, you’re free to be Harley. And we’ll have fun with a younger them. { CAN BE WITH THE SAME PERSON AS PLOT TWO }.

HARLIVY { PLOT TWO }. This can be regularly set in a sort of amalgam universe of however you choose to play Harley because I'd prefer playing Poison Ivy in this one as well. And you can definitely stick with Margot Robbie here, I definitely do not mind, and am open to suggestions for Ivy but the ones I have in mind at the moment are Sophie Turner or Bridget Regan { sp? }. I’m open to other suggestions depending on ages and etc, but let me know! All is well. { CAN BE WITH THE SAME PERSON AS PLOT ONE }.

KOLVINA AKA KOL AND DAVINA. Davina is a character I’ve wanted to play for awhile and I do enjoy their ship. I need to hecka catch up on The Originals, but I really love them and I kind of really need this in my life so, come on down and do it with me? We can even play with Caleb!Kol on your end if you like!

MIA THERMOPOLIS X NICHOLAS DEVERAUX. This one can either be an AU where they met younger or we could just do things with the Princess Diaries 2 plot and then on, I just love their dynamic a lot and want to play Mia. FCs are negotiable and we can figure them out should we do the plot together. I have no real ideas for them, just want to play these two out since they’re a favorite.

PETER PARKER X GWEN STACY. I love their ship a lot, even if they’re not my top Peter ship and I miss playing Gwen ( with a Dove FC because I love that match ). So come play Peter against me for it. I’d love it greatly and we could play around with universes maybe lead my Gwen to be Spider Gwen and they could fight crime together. Cool, right? Right. At least that’s what I think.

PETER PARKER X MARY JANE. I just love these two together A LOT and want to play Kat McNamara as MJ, and you could definitely use Tom Holland for Peter or someone else should you see fit. Either way this classic ship is something I want to play with so gimme ‘em. Please?

WADE X VANESSA. I love Deadpool. I love Deadpool so much, so please come play Wade Wilson / Deadpool against me while I play Vanessa Carlysle. Same FCs as the movie because they were perfect. Ryan is the only Deadpool and I love Morena Baccarin. And who doesn’t love Deadpool. Come on. Okay. Give me this. Please.

MINI GROUP { PREFERRED WITH ONE MUSE PER MUN BUT COULD DOUBLE UP }

AVENGERS COLLEGE AU. I want to play a college aged Natasha Romanov / Black Widow with a passion right now, and I’d love to do it with all of the Avengers { well, the mains from the original Avengers movie -- Tony, Steve, Bruce, Clint, Thor, and Natasha }, but I would also do a 1x1 ship with any of her ships there to be honest. I love all of them for different reasons not gonna lie, hell, I could even ship her with Thor. I just love the character. If we do this with three muns instead of one per one, I’d play Nat and mayhaps Steve. Anyway, I’d probably play her with Madelaine Petsch { and Steve with I don’t know who yet }, but I’m open to others and yours are up to you. Let me know!

DESCENDANTS-ESQUE PLOT. I love the idea of playing children of my favorite Disney characters and I miss doing that. I already have one MuMu of them, but I’d like another since I don’t want to pile too many in there. I, however, don’t want the descendants. Nothing canon to it. I’ve never watched, and I’m not too interested in it further than the premise { don’t hate me omg }, but yes, let me know if you’d like to do this!

FACECLAIM MATCHES { BOLDED IS WHO I WANT TO PLAY }

Ranking DC Pride 2023

9. Love’s Lightning Heart (???, ???)

Starring The Flashlight and The Flash, I think? When he called the dude “Ray” in the beginning I thought it was gonna be The Ray, you know? This only scores so low because I’m not at ALL familiar with anything Multiversity and this story especially seemed to be absolutely thick with that corner of DC lore. I get there’s a Parallax type of thing happening but... this was kind of hard to follow for a payoff that’s pretty lukewarm if you’re not well-versed in who this story’s about.

8. My Best Bet (Jon Kent/Superman, John Constantine

This is hit especially hard in my ranking because it’s the last story in the book and the only thing DC Pride about it is that it stars two Bs. They’re popular queer characters but I’m here for stories that are specifically ABOUT LGBT stuff, not about LGBT people doing stuff. There’s nothing to really talk about here.

7. Found (Xanthe Zhou, Batwoman/Kate Kane)

I’ve been meaning to read Spirit World, and since I hadn’t gotten around to it Xanthe being LGBT was a surprise to me, but not as much as Kate Kane showing up was. It feels like someone threw a dartboard at WLW women and plopped in whoever came up, cuz I guarantee if I flip the newest Batwoman issue open to a random page she’ll have a girlfriend-slash-situationship that won’t be too happy about her seeming receptive to some flirting. But hey, I like Xanthe more now so there’s give-and-take.

6. And Baby Makes Three (Xiomara Rojas/Crush, Harleen Quinzel/Harley Quinn, Pamela Isley/Poison Ivy)

I like Crush. I can’t claim to have read much of her, because for now that means enduring way too much Damian Wayne, but she seems like an incredibly interesting character. But I could not tell you why she’s here with Harley and Ivy. This, moreso than anything else, has a less than negative chance of being referenced again and it’s giving me even more of that dartboard feeling the last story did. Plus if there’s one thing Harlivy can do, it’s carry a story by themselves. I wish we’d gotten something about JUST Crush, is what I’m saying. I feel like this was a status update for Crush, like her washing ashore was meant to bridge the gap between this story and whatever she was doing the last time she showed up.

5. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Natasha Irons/Steel, Nubia)

Listen, I will always have space in my heart for the Irons family. I love Natasha, and I love John Henry, and when DC lets either out of the ether every other year I’m front and center. That, and the recent super-push Nubia has been enjoying made this story one I was pretty excited to read when I realized who it was about. But THIS ART. These faces are TRASH. Even without looking it up I feel like there’s a 0% chance DC would give a nonblack artist this story, so it makes it especially confusing as to why the characters look like THAT. The actual content was fun and even though Io needs to come up off our queen posthaste, I didn’t have any (other) complaints. But it’s SOOOOO UGLYYYYY.

4. The Dance ( Minhkhoa Khan/Ghost-Makes, Thomas Blake/Catman)

I knew Ghost-Maker was bi prior to reading this, somehow. I’ve been meaning to read anything about him because his design is so awesome but I was only really guessing this was Catman alongside him. I really don’t know anything about him, so this ranks so highly just because of Ghost-Maker. I don’t really have anything else to add here since this story’s ultimate purpose seems to just show off muscley dudes post-sex.

3. Anniversary (Lucas Trent/Midnighter, Andrew Pulaski/Apollo, Alan Scott/Green Lantern)

These showcases tend to have like, one story that directly addresses inequality if you’re lucky. This is that story, and it’s such a good one. Midnighter and Apollo’s fame as the canon gay Superbat sort of eclipses anything else about them, but that reputation is put to excellent effect here. Plus, Alan Scott, one of my favorite Green Lanterns, finally shows up. Revitalizing that old slogan to make it clear the LGBT isn’t going anywhere was fun, too.

2. Subspace Transmission (Jules Jourdain/Circuit Breaker, Jess Chambers/The Flash, Andy Curry/Aquawoman)

Jess was an extremely fun and memorable character from the start like, half a decade ago and that holds true here. I was super uninvested in the Circuit Breaker part of this story. I don’t know who that is, and even after reading this I genuinely don’t care. This made my heart hurt for more Teen Justice and Future State stuff in general. That Jackson Hyde cameo at the end was also perfect.

1. Hey, Stranger (Connor Hawke/Hawke, Tim Drake/Robin)

I was definitely in diapers the last time these two characters spoke to each other. When there’s been THAT big a gap in timeframe I can’t be sure how emotional a reunion can be to a modern readership. None of that matters to my enjoyment, because Connor Hawke is far and away my favorite Arrowfam member and his recent resurgence (even if too much of it is attached to Damian Wayne for my taste) has been such a blessing. DC only trots this guy out three times a year but god do we eat good each time. They just need to do a LITTLE more with him.

Summary: Avengers enter the cave, and meet the batfam!

Notes: In sorry if this chapter is a bit boring, I tried to keep it light. (I know the techie stuff that I glossed over bored even me) But now that I’m done with the first introductory chapters, I can move to some - hopefully - more fun scenarios!

“Woah.” Peter looked around at the giant cavern that the Green Lantern guy had flown them into. His ring had formed some kind of platform to carry them, and Peter was still theorizing how it worked.

They had flown toward the city - named Gotham apparently - following the mysterious “Batman”. Then reached a waterfall, which had a huge mechanical door system that parted the water. They had gone through a long pathway lit up on the edges before emerging in the cave.

It was huge, with multiple platforms built into the rock. Peter first found himself on one that was clearly meant for vehicles, as there were multiple motorcycles parked beside where Batman’s car stopped. There were other levels that held gym equipment, a sparring ring, weapons stations, and some sort of lab. There was weird memorabilia too. Peter spotted a giant penny, dinosaur, and a Joker playing card. A few more levels had cases for suits, not unlike that which Mr. Stark had. Though some of the suits were strange. One was clearly bloody and ripped. One of the most prominent platforms held a huge computer with a dominating black chair.

However, Peter could have sworn it was playing … The Dinosaur Game? That was weird.

Batman got out of his car the way he had before and made his way over toward the Avengers, where they had been set down by Green Lantern. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could, a very loud voice called out in the cave, startling everyone except the Batman.

“Bruce! Where the F*** is my AK-47?!”

The Hulk, who had since transformed back into Bruce Banner, frowned in confusion.

No one got the chance to question it, however, because a young man in a skin tight black bodysuit swung from another level, and was now hanging upside down from a support beam near Batman. He had a blue bird on his chest, Peter thought it looked a bit like an eagle. He also had on a black domino mask.

“Hey B!” He said cheerily. “ I should probably warn you that Hood is on a rampage ‘cause he can’t find his gun. And also Robin is threatening everyone as per usual. ” The Dark Knight sighed. “What about Red Robin, Spoiler, and Oracle? ”

The new comer grinned. “Dinosaur Game Championship. Oracle is in the lead.”

There was a sudden shout of disapproval from where the apparent game seemed to be held.

“And Signal?”

“Taking weapons stock while muttering about how insane we all are.” He shook his head. “He seems to forget he’s one of us, and therefore crazy by association.”

The Dark Knight sighed once more, this time with his fingers on the bridge of his nose. “Thank you Nightwing. Would you tell Red Hood that his AK-47 is in the Med Bay where he left it when he was doing his stitches? And tell everyone to meet in the conference room in uniform. Code 27G.”

Nightwings eyes - well, lenses - widened. He glanced at the Avengers. “Huh. Sure can do B.”

He swung up from his perch, flipped onto the platform above him - Peter was pretty impressed at how casually he did so - and ran off, seemingly melting into the shadows.

An awkward silence followed, with the Avengers all huddling protectively together. Peter really wanted to explore - that T-Rex looked awesome - but he saw the worried look on Mr. Stark’s face. This was an unfamiliar situation. They must be cautious.

A moment later Peter had had enough of caution. “Excuse me sir, is that a dinosaur?”

The Dark Knight turned toward Peter and glared. Out of the corner of his eye, Peter saw Mr. Stark tense up. But a split second later the glare softened. “Yes. Animatronic. From one of my early … endeavors.”

Peter grinned under his mask. “Cool!”

Batman lifted his head, and began walking on a path up. “Come, I’ll show you where we can talk.”

*****

They entered a meeting room that was off to the side of the cave. There was already a group present. They were clumped loosely in a corner, boredom and intrigue apparent on their faces. They all stood to attention when Batman walked into the room, all except for Nightwing from earlier. He was currently in a handstand in the center of the conference table, shifting from one hand to the other. He collapsed onto the table at the sight of the arrivals, before quickly jumping to his feet and saluting with an embarrassed grin on his face. Batman rolled his eyes and they all went back to what they were doing, except Nightwing who slumped into a chair.

The group of teeneagers were dressed in more skin-tight suits. Peter was slightly taken aback by how young they were. The smallest seemed to be around ten - perhaps he was this “Robin” mentioned earlier - and the oldest in his early twenties. Most seemed to be about his own age though, in their mid teens. It felt weird to not be the only kid.

The closest was a young man sitting in one of the chairs with his feet on the table. He seemed to be taller than Nightwing, with a broader chest. He wore gray cargo pants, some sort of utility belt, an armored shirt with a red bat on it, a leather jacket, and a red helmet that looked a lot like Tony’s. Peter could already imagine the copyright complaints from their resident billionaire. The man also had gun holsters on each leg, and was stroking a - newly returned - AK-47 in his arms.

The first teenager had black bottoms and red top with a black and gold “X” over his chest, joined by some symbol that looked vaguely like an “R”. He also had a black cape and smooth cowl. He was standing in the corner, leaning against a wall with a tablet and mug of coffee in hand.

A teenage girl stood beside the teen, dressed in a mostly purple with hints-of-black bodysuit and a purple hooded cape. She wore a full black mask over her face, with only white lenses. It was a bit freaky, but she was mostly non-threatening, due to her easygoing posture and laugh, which was directed at the teen with the cowl.

The kid was dressed in black leggings, green boots and gloves, a red and yellow tunic with an “R” on it, black and yellow hooded cape, and green domino mask. Though the strangest thing about him was the huge Katana he was sharpening while sitting at the table. He also had an unimpressed glare on his face. Peter decided that he and Helmet-Guy were the scariest in the room. Aside from Batman.

Another teenaged boy had a tired look on what Peter could see of his face, as he looked slightly disapprovingly at his companions. He stood in more heavily plated bright yellow and black armor with a bat symbol on it. He had a utility belt, and a helmet which looked to be shaped like a bat.

What was with these people and bats?

Peter didn’t get to ask, as at that moment a new person joined the group. Flying down a ramp was a red headed young woman in a wheelchair. She expertly slowed to a stop in front of Batman, who had not yet entered the room. Peter noticed that she had hastily applied a black domino mask, leaving a pair of glasses in her lap, along with a laptop.

“Sorry I’m late B, I forgot where I had put my extra mask. These things keep disappearing!” She said the last part while glaring at the kids.

“It’s fine, Oracle. Now that we’re all here-” He paused, then looked around at the group. “Where’s Black Bat?”

“Handling a Robbery downtown. She’s finishing up. ETA 20 minutes.”

Batman nodded. “Very well, we’ll continue without her, she won’t mind.”

He entered the room, ushering everyone else to do so as well. With a quick glare, all the kids sat down. The Avengers joined them, as there were plenty of seats. The only one who did not sit was Batman.

He spoke once everyone was ready, mainly directing his words to the kids. Peter briefly wondered what it would be like to actually be respected like that, but shook off the thought. Batman quickly and efficiently summarizes the events, including several readings of the energy sources, which only the red and black teen seemed to understand as he nodded along, looking fascinated. Once he was done, Batman turned to the Avengers. “Names. No need to share personal identities if you are uncomfortable. Though since we are from different earths, I doubt it would matter.”

“Everyone already knows our identities on our earth,” Mr. Stark said, receiving several weird looks from the teens. “So it’s not a problem for us.” He removed his face plate. “Tony Stark, I’m Iron man in the suit, which I built myself.” He gestures to Steve Rogers next.

“Captain America, Steve Rogers. Our resident super soldier and senior citizen.” Steve frowned at the last comment.

“Bruce Banner,” Mr. Stark said next, “Alter ego is the Hulk. Anger Issues and Gamma radiation galore.”

Red Robin perked up. “Cool! How did-” He was cut off by a glare from Batman.

“This is Thor Odinson, named… well, Thor. God of lightning, has a hammer. You can call him Sparky Sparky Boom Man.” A pause. “Yeah, maybe just stick with Thor.”

“Clint Barton, codename Hawkeye. Our long distance weapons specialist.” Mr. Stark gestured to Clint’s bow for good measure. The kids giggled and whispered something to each other that sounded like ‘Green Arrow knockoff ’, though Peter didn’t get it.

“Black Widow, Natasha Romanov. Intelligence expert, and ex-assassin.” This got a bunch of whispers from the kids.

Peter was the last to be introduced. He pulled off his mask while Mr. Stark said “The kid’s Peter Parker, our rookie, also known as Siderman ”

“You sure it’s Spiderman,” Helmet-Guy said.

Peter glared. “Yes.”

“Red Hood,” Batman said, frowning. “No antagonizing the interdimensional visitors.”

Red Hood just shrugged and went back to stroking his gun.

The Avengers just sat around awkwardly. The Woman jabbed her elbow into Superman’s ribs, which got him talking.

“Oh… It’s only fair we introduce ourselves, since it isn’t really official earlier.” This time it was Superman who spoke. “I’m Superman, known as Kal-El, a kryptonian. Human name is Clark Kent.”

Huh, he didn’t look like an alien.

“Here we have Wonder Woman, an amazon, demigoddess, and princess. Secret Identity is Diana Prince.” He gestured to the woman, who, despite just being called a princess, looked very threatening indeed.

“Martian Manhunter, a martian known as J’onn J'onzz. Civilian name is John Jones. Yes, quite original.” The Martian nodded in greeting, and Peter was seriously freaking out. A real martian!? Cool!

“Flash, a speedster also known as Barry Allen.” The man pulled back his cowl as Superman spoke.

“S’up?” He asked with a smile.

“And Hal Jordan, one of the Green Lanterns.”

“The best Green Lantern.”

Batman grumbled something that sounded suspiciously like “keep telling yourself that.”

Superman turned to Batman, but before he could, the Dark Knight spoke. “I can do it myself Clark.” He lifted his hand and removed his cowl to reveal a handsome man in his early to mid thirties with black hair and blue eyes. “Batman, also known as Bruce Wayne.”

He turned toward the kids. “These are my kids, as well as partners.”

He started with Nightwing. “Nightwing, aka Richard Grayson. My eldest.” Richard grinned and removed his domino mask. He too had blue eyes.

“Call me Dick,” he said.

“Red Hood, aka Jason Todd, my second eldest.” Jason pressed some button or something on his helmet and took it off to reveal… a domino mask. After a quick glare from Bruce, he sighed and took it off. Revealing black hair and blue eyes.

“Red Robin,” there was a soft ‘yum’ that came from the corner, though Peter couldn’t tell who said it. “Aka Tim Drake.” Tim pulled his cowl back and grinned. He had black hair and blue eyes.

“Over there is Signal, aka Duke Thomas, my ward.” The teen took off his helmet, revealing yet another black-haired kid. Though Duke was clearly african american, and had brown eyes.

“Next is Robin aka Damian Wayne, my youngest.” Damian sneered as if he were above everyone around him.

“Spoiler, aka Stephanie Brown, is a family friend.” Stephanie waved.

“I’m also his ex,” Stephanie said, jutting her thumb at Tim.

Tim groaned. “When will you stop introducing yourself like that?”

“When it stops getting under your skin.”

Tim sank back in his chair and flung an arm over his eyes.

Batman sighed once more. “Oracle, aka Barbara Gordan. Also a family friend, and our tech specialist.” Baraba nodded in recognition. “Now that introductions are out of the way, we must discuss how you got here, and how you’ll get back.”

Everyone nodded and began the discussion. Mr. Stark started off the explanation, going over Anagnorisis, the compound, the gun that they got hit with, and how they ended up in the crater.

The other adults - mainly Batman - popped in, talking about the calculations for such an interdimensional jump. Peter listened intently, as he found it utterly fascinating, but didn’t add anything. Then Tim spoke, listing off a series of numbers and variables, that were received with nods. Peter was a bit jealous that he spoke so easily. So Peter decided to add something later on, a small comment about energy sources. When he did, the conversation stopped. Peter thought he was dead meat for interrupting, but then Bruce - Wayne, not Banner - spoke.

“The kid’s smart.”

Mr. Stark smiled proudly.

A moment later the conversation continued. They went on for almost a half hour, and even Peter was getting a bit bored. He could tell the other kids were too. The girls seemed to have gotten back to their Dinosaur Game championship, and there were small cheers and groans coming from their corner every so often. Jason and Damian had yet to set aside their weapons, though they had begun a small conversation too quiet for Peter to hear. The only people who seemed to be paying attention were Dick and Tim, though Dick clearly didn’t understand half the words that were being tossed around.

The adults seemed to be disinterested as well, namely Barry and Hal, who were in the middle of a thumb war. When they inevitably got too loud, Batman sent a glare their way. The other members of the Justice League seemed to only be listening out of courtesy. As were Thor and Clint. Natasha seemed to be focussed more on the kids. She had a small frown on her face, as if something about them bothered her.

Everyone paid attention when Batman spoke next, however. “It should take at least a week to charge up the energy sources and prepare a device to send you home.”

Peter perked up. “That’s not that long. Have you dealt with interdimensional travel in the past?”

Several of the kids groaned. “Don’t remind me,” Stephanie said.

“Worst twenty-six hours of my life!” Dick agreed.

Then Jason spoke, and Peter was speechless.

“It was almost as bad as that time I died. Now that wasn’t a fun evening.”

“You died?” Natasha said, clearly confused and worried.

“I’m better now,” he said as if referring to a common cold. Jason had a small smirk on his face as he shrugged.

“Back to the discussion at hand,” Batman said, glaring at Jason. “Yes, Peter, we have dealt with the multiverse before. It should be fairly simple to locate your dimension and send you back. The only problem is powering the device. It requires Superman flying out to the sun and placing the energy core inside to fuel it. It needs to remain there for over a week.”

“You can fly to the sun?” Mr. Stark asked. “How do you survive?”

Clark shrugged. “I have impenetrable skin, and a very high melting point.”

No one questioned this, though Peter was quite intrigued.

“Where will they stay?” Dick asked, which caused a sudden silence.

“Does the Watchtower have enough rooms available?” Barry asked.

“What’s the Watchtower?” Peter asked.

“Our space station,” Diana answered, much to Peter’s delight, “and no, we have those visiting Green Lanterns, remember? Hal has been grousing about it all this week.”

“I was not!” Hal said, then sighed. “Okay, maybe I was, but that’s beside the point. What about your farmhouse, Clark?”

Clark shook his head. “Under renovation. Speaking of which I need to head over there after this. Lois will have a cow if I’m late.”

There was silence after that, as everyone was thinking. Then Stephanie got a - slightly evil, Peter thought - smile on her face. “What about the Manor? God knows we have enough space.”

“You don’t even live here!” Tim said.

Bruce glared at Stephanie for a bit then sighed. “The Manor would work. Though why anyone would want to stay with you rabble rousers is beyond my understanding.”

Jason snorted. “Says the guy who adopted us all willingingly.”

Batman grumbled, but was saved from replying as a sudden noise came from the door.

The meeting room had a wide glass window next to the exit - which was open - so Peter had a good view of the sleek black motorcycle that entered the cave, upon which rode a figure dressed all in black. The motorcycle was parked and yet another costumed teen - this time a girl - strolled toward the conference room.

She was dressed in head to toe black, in the form of a skin tight suit. She also had a yellow utility belt, and outline of a bat on her chest. She wore a black cape and cowl which had pointed ears and covered her whole face. There seemed to be some form of stitching across her mouth, which was quite creepy.

She walked forward and entered the room quickly. Bruce smiled upon seeing her.

“Ah, Black Bat. How was the robbery?”

She motioned with her hands in a way that Peter didn’t understand. It seemed vaguely like that sign language which he’d seen Clint use.

Whatever it was, Batman seemed to understand. “Very good. These are our visitors. Code 27G. They’ll be staying at the manor till we can send them back.”

Black Bat reached up and took off her cowl revealing an asian girl around eighteen year old with a black bob. “Good,” she said. “Names?”

“We’re allowing them. Over there we have Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Thor Odinson, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanov, Peter Parker, and Bruce Banner.”

“Bruce?” She asked with a smirk.

Batman sighed. “Yes.” He turned to the group. “This is my Daughter Cassandra Cain. Alias is Black Bat.”

Everyone muttered small hellos, except Jason who said something with the word “favorite” in it. Cassandra didn’t seem bothered by the lack of enthusiasm. She just smiled and walked over to Damian.

“Seat. Mine.” She spoke simply.

Peter thought the kid would just sneer, but instead he quickly moved over. He could have sworn the kid looked scared. Perhaps the kid was all bark and no bite.

“Well, if that’s all, I really should be going,” Clark Kent said as he rose from the table. “Good luck with staying at the manor. See ya kids.”

“Bye Uncle Supes,” The kids chorused

“I should be going as well,” Barry said. I’m needed at the station.”

Soon the rest of the league left, and the Avengers were left alone with the bats and birds.

Expanding my superhero plants with a pair of kalanchoe succulents! The one that flowers red is Wanda, and the one that flowers white is Pietro. ♥

They obviously won’t be flowering all the time, but I thought the colors were perfect and having a pair of the same kind of plants for the twins was appropriate. :D

I’m currently painting a custom pot for my English ivy (Natasha), since she’s big enough to finally need a decide sized one, and I’m also in the process of pre-painting a T’challa pot for a future plant project.

When I’m done those two I’m going to move on to a Harley Quinn pot (Suicide Squad version) and probably a Stephen Strange one as well, for my two polka dot plants.

(My pink polka dot plant is Harley and the white is Stephen; Harley goes with my heart vine, Isley, whom I will post pics on soon once I finish touching up the pot I painted for her. ♥)
