Bat-stuff coming up on a blog I follow is fun cos I was discussing an old idea with a friend of mine set in this nebulous period where Bruce took Dick & Tim on a "Rediscover how to be Batman" holday.

Leaving Harvey Dent who had a couple of weeks training to defend Gotham and apparently just not thinking about Cassandra at all so she was surprised when she got back from her mission.

(No one else had been introduced yet, ala Damian or Duke)

In the fic idea rather than that being used to set up Harvey going evil again for "reasons" and Cass turning evil for "Reasons" which then got made into mind control, the fic goes another.

Namely, Jason :I am obsessed with Gotham" Todd looks at the city and says "its free real estate", swings a legal resurrection, a coup at Wayne Enterprises and plans to take over as Batman.

Unfortunately for him, Harvey is still there and was able to piece together his plan and he contacted Oracle who sent Batgirl so the situation very quickly became a stand off.

(Jason had the manor rigged to explode if he needed to bail)

So a truce is reached,

Cass becomes the new Batman, Jason moves into philanthropy and Harvey is their legal advisor and mediator. Hilariously, they actually do a really good job and Gotham starts making huge improvements.

A big part of this is because by focusing on specific areas over trying to "Do it all" they are both able to really focus and also cover for each other. A line used when discussing it was "Trying to fix Gotham was like pushing a boulder up a hill while people tried to shank you." Well now someone is helping push the boulder, but another is covering for knives and they all switch out who is doing what.

Then there's just stuff like Jason having a more bottom up perspective on addressing issues of poverty having lived it, over studied it conceptually. & Cass being indifferent to law related matters, canonical as she donated millions of dollars in evidence to charity with Steph. So the social programs are not just good but also backed with stuff like:

"Hi, Jason Wayne, I am bribing you to be a less garbage governor."

These elements are followed up with Talia dropping Damian off for safety reasons along with his new bodyguard. Namely, AllCaste!Stephanie Brown with magic fire swords! (Basically she got a Robin Resurrection after her death here too & Talia was just like "OK mine now" and took her to get some spiritual healing, & fire swords.

(It'd be cool if Duke got brought into this, Alt Robins Movement?)

All of this naturally gets the Court of Owls Feathers in a ruffle as they were trying to take full control of Gotham and someone using their methods is making it much harder to even retain what they have let alone go for more. So they broke out their Talon Army and their secret weapon, the pseudo magically scientifically ressurected Orpheus (From War Games) for a big final blow out cluster fuck.

Suffice to say they will lose and Orpheus will heal and things will improve still further. With the epilogue having Bruce Dick & Tim arriving at the manor, very surprised to see it so flashy and open. But Alfred probably just knew they were coming back.

Cue them walking in to find Alfred, Harvey, Jason, Cass, Stephanie, Onyx, Orpheus Damian, Duke & Barbara at the table, all very surprised to see them!

The Country’s Most Famous Houseplant Is Missing. What Did Trump Do With It? The Oval Office Swedish Ivy Was A Gift To John F. Kennedy.

— Stephanie Mencimer | March 8, 2025

Mother Jones; Barry Thumma/AP; Evan Vucci/AP

After The Washington Post ran a front-page photo of President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu sitting in front of the Oval Office fireplace on February 4, careful reader Thomas M. Sneeringer fired off a letter to the editor. “It appears the fireplace mantel in the Oval Office has been subjected to President Donald Trump’s Midas touch,” he wrote. Sneeringer observed that the spray of Swedish ivy that has adorned the mantle for more than half a century had vanished, replaced by what he speculated might be… golf trophies?

“I was instantly offended and instantly understood how it happened,” Sneeringer told me in an interview. “It was just so consistent about what we know about Trump’s taste.”

He knew that the missing ivy was no ordinary plant. Irish ambassador Thomas J. Kiernan had given it to President John F. Kennedy as a gift in 1961, and ever since it has been a consistent backdrop to some of the most famous White House meetings. Back in 1984, during the Reagan administration, Kurt Anderson wrote a tribute to “The Plant” in Time magazine:

“The Oval Office may be the headiest place in America. When the President, sitting in his desk chair at the southern tip of the Oval, stares dead ahead to the far wall, he sees The Plant. Anywhere else it would be a robust but unremarkable Swedish ivy. But there on the marble mantelpiece, day after consequential day, it basks in the power and the glory. No matter who has been inaugurated since 1961, The Plant has always stayed…The Swedish ivy, given its potential for leaks, is an Administration team player first and last.”

The hardy plant’s scalloped green leaves are center stage in photos of Ronald Reagan meeting Gorbachev, George H.W. Bush schmoozing with Bruce Willis and Nelson Mandela, and Jimmy Carter conferring with Yitzhak Rabin or having lunch with his wife Rosalynn. Nelson Shanks painted Bill Clinton leaning next to the ivy in his Lfficial Presidential Portrait.

The plant survived Trump’s first term, and it was even there to bear witness to that awkward meeting between Trump and Joe Biden after the 2024 election.

But no more.

So where is it now? The White House did not respond to several inquiries about the plant’s whereabouts or the gold statues that replaced it.

Like so many things that Trump and his DOGE team are heedlessly destroying, the Oval Office ivy has a constituency that may not be immediately obvious to those wielding the chainsaws. With its own Instagram account and generations of progeny that even Elon Musk can’t rival, the humble houseplant enjoys a cult following.

Not really an ivy but closer to mint, and native to South Africa, not Sweden, Plectranthus verticillatus grows like a weed, making it well-suited to sharing. White House staffers over the years have given away clippings to visitors, interns, and many other lucky beneficiaries. Those gifted with a clipping have in turn passed along clippings to others. I have one that came from the Clinton Oval Office, and now my daughter has its offspring.

Journalist Gabriela Riccardi got her cuttings by way of a White House official who convened a sendoff for her current and former staff at the end of Obama’s second term. As a parting gift, the official gave away cuttings from the Oval Office mother plant. Riccardi’s co-worker at the Atlantic scored one, and in turn shared clippings with two friends, one of whom passed a stem on to Riccardi. She told the story in Quartz in 2023:

“The staff gift came with legacy. It came with gravitas. And it came with just one request: Grow the plant yourself, then pass a cutting of it on to someone else. In that way, the ivy would spread from person to person, a symbol of the connection between a government and its people.”

During Covid, Riccardi’s small cutting had wildly proliferated, so she decided to do something useful with the excess. She raffled off five clippings to anyone who donated $10 to When We All Vote, the civic group started by Michelle Obama to increase voter participation. The plants were so sought after that Riccardi raised more than $2,200. She was unaware that the original plant had recently gone MIA. “It’s a heartbreaker to hear that it’s not there anymore,” she told me after I gave her the bad news. “I think it’s just such a beautiful tradition.”

Riccardi and Sneeringer hope that the original plant has not been abandoned but is only in exile, being nurtured nearby until a more tradition-conscious president returns to the Oval Office.

Back in 1984, Kurt Anderson had interviewed Dale Haney, then the Supervisory White House Horticulturalist in charge of spritzing and pruning the country’s most famous houseplant. Haney reverently dubbed his charge “amazing” for its resilience and resistance to pests. In 2008, he ascended to the job of White House grounds superintendent, and in 2022, the Bidens celebrated his 50 years of White House service with a photo with them and their dog, Commander. (A year later, Haney was immortalized in another photo when a tourist witnessed the dog bite Haney on the arm.) Haney picked out this year’s White House Christmas tree, but the press office did not respond to an email asking whether he still works there.

Sneeringer hopes he does, as Haney seems like someone who’d orchestrate an ivy rescue mission. “Wouldn’t it be great if he was keeping it somewhere?” he asked hopefully.

With all the terrible things happening in the country right now, Sneeringer admits that complaining about the missing ivy may seem “sort of petty.” But he sees the plant as much more than White House décor. The ivy, he told me, “symbolized to me continuity and stability and all the things we value about how we change power in the country.”

For him, the plant’s disappearance is emblematic of Trump’s assault on the federal government. “He’s completely unconcerned that this represents a break from tradition,” he said. “Or maybe no one bothered to tell him.”

Hello yes, new favourite character / OT3 / family headcanon.

This is Olivia. She was a named swing in several productions in the 2000s - in the case of these photos, in the Australasian 2010 tour - and her actor will usually cover roles like Cassandra, Bombalurina, and Demeter. If she has the operatic register for Jellylorum/Griddlebone, and the tap training for Jennyanydots, she could cover those roles too!

The first of these photos is Erin James, and the other three are Melina Joy Charles. And, purely on the basis of the photos above (Stephanie Morrison as Demeter and Emma Lee Clark as Cassandra), I’m going to ship her with Demeter and Cassandra. A beautiful little OT3.

But also look at this. She has a gorgeous and perfect daughter! And Electra, she who can suit almost any parental headcanon, now has another possible mum.

aren’t they perfect I love them

(Sophie Shanks as Electra)

@demandra​ is this acceptable?

✨THE ONE WORD PROJECT✨

Evolution is an inescapable force in our world. Not only are the fauna and flora around us constantly evolving, we as human beings are changing too, and the world with us. It is inevitable and occasionally terrifying, and the idea of change has different connotations for different people. A few months ago, Circa Verne contacted some very talented folks to ask them to draw, paint, sculpt, photograph, or digitally create a piece of work which encompassed the idea of change to them, particularly in the world of 2017. We've combined them all into one post here for your viewing pleasure!

 Celeste.

 Statement: As a human, in some moment of our life, we dare to change something about ourselves through pain, so we grow. I believe that it's when you find yourself, and I find it truly beautiful. I drew mother nature in her own beauty, because for me, nature is one of the most perfect examples to the process of changing and growing without seeing it (full of patience and slowness). She call’s us all, tending her hand almost saying "I'm like you". The hole in her body, represent the emptiness that we feel when we have to change and move on in life. That's why I left that innocent, basic stem in the middle, a symbol of growth waiting inside of an empty, but necessary hole. 

Jessica Estrada.

Title: The Tower

Medium: Ink, mixed medium on paper

 Statement: Change is inevitable, but it's not always beautiful. I chose to depict my feelings on the changes I've seen in the world around me, growing like mold since late 2016, and seeming to spiral out of control in these first few months of 2017. People are sloughing off their skins and extruding these ugly monsters -- brightly colored, loud, a warning sign declaring their venomous nature. Insect-like, they're displaying the basest of mentalities, "us vs them", mistrusting the different, the nuanced, the subtle. No tolerance for the individuals branded "scapegoat". But of course, these mentalities were always there. They were concealed and whispered, lurking beneath the surface, but they were always there. 

 Jessica Estrada is a 24-year-old artist living in the central valley of California. Their preferred medium is simply pen and ink. They live at home with their cat, Nacho, and their family. Their website is estradaart.tumblr.com

Lynn.

Statement: My piece shows the different moon phases above a mountain range, surrounded by stars. I’ve always been fascinated by how much changes in nature can affect the human mind and emotions. The changing of seasons, the tides, the moon phases, everything has a deep impact on my thoughts and mood and I feel like change in nature always has a great symbolic meaning. I decided to draw the moon phases for this project because the night sky has always been my biggest source of inspiration and I just love drawing anything space-related.

 I’m Lynn, a 17 year old digital artist from Germany. I create minimalistic line art of nature, space and witchy things. Drawing is a way of finding peace for me and it has been my biggest passion for years now.

Rachel Bennett.

The Future: Pt. 1

 Statement:This piece depicts the fear of the unknown, the impending changes we face in our lifetime, and the difficulty of knowing how to proceed. Above all, I hope this piece represents the resistance to going backwards; that no matter how fearful we may be of what comes next, we must walk forward into the future, not backwards. 

This image is one of a four part series that I will be showing at Chapterhouse Cafe & Gallery in Philadelphia as part of their Spring show, which will run from April 14th to July 13th. You can view my work online at rachelbennettdraws.tumblr.com or on instagram @rachelbennettdraws. You may contact me with questions or comments via my portfolio site at www.rachelbennett.net.

Stephanie.

 Statement: For my piece, I represented the word "change" in an illustration of a phoenix because it is a creature that is always changing forms, from life to death, flames to ashes, and reborn again. However, this ever-changing cycle is always constant and its spirit never dies. The phoenix is housed in the Greek letter delta, the mathematical symbol for change.

 Swathi.

 Statement: My artwork for the word “Change”, encompasses the thought of slow changes. Changes need to be gone through slowly, but they reap rich rewards. It might take time, but it will certainly be beneficial to an individual, a country and the world.

The word “Change” in my artwork goes through seven colour changes. Each colour transition in the word signifies the meaning behind the colour used. The lettering starts off black, which is a colour associated with death, power, and unrest. From black it moves to brown, a colour symbolising nature, warmth and support. From that we move to green, a fresh colour denoting harmony, balance, greenery, and peace. From green we move on to a blue, a colour associated with serenity, trust and calmness. We then move to yellow, a bright joyful colour and finally to an orange which is an extension of the yellow; a colour filled with life and energy. This transitions in colours, can be synonymous with change; making small changes as an individual, as a leader or as a nation can lead to a better and richer lives for people, nations and in turn, the world. 

Making small changes can be as simple as being kind and helpful to the people around you, spreading love, and making peace with the next person, protecting the rights and beliefs of people and making their voice heard, putting together ideals to make the world a peaceful and better place to live in, safeguarding the environment from harm and making it a safe place for future generations. As they say changes can be hard at first, messy in the middle but they will result in gorgeous benefits at the end.

My name is Swathi and I am an Designer and Illustrator from India. I am a UI designer at my day job and by night I am an artist and illustrator. I enjoy exploring new mediums, and experimenting with different styles. I love working on/with typography and lettering, inked illustrations, pattern design, watercolours, and gouache painting. I am a strong believer in hard work and patience and how important the two are to become successful at work and in life.  

Travis Marks.

 Statement: This piece signifies that even though our bodies don't stand the test of time, we'll always be that young kid at heart.

Travis Marks is a freelance Story Artist, Character Designer, Illustrator and 2D Animator living in Los Angeles, California. You can view his work at:  www.travismarksportfolio.squarespace.com

Now that you’ve viewed these brilliant pieces of work, we’d like you to take the time to sit back and recognize how all of these pieces represent change, in their own special way. Even though they are all uniquely different, one way or another, they all represent beautifully what ‘change’ is. In such a hectic society, we often lose sight of what is right or wrong, and routinely choose the most cliche answer to every question. Through these art pieces, we hope that you realize that no matter what you decide is right, or wrong, you always have the right to express what you think is right in any way you’d like. No matter how different or varied it is from anybody else’s view on the matter. So please, don’t ever let the elevator get you down.

A big thank you to all of the artists involved in the One Word Project, for their creating their genius art works and doing Circa Verne the honor of collaborating with them!

All rights of the artworks remain with the original artists.

This project was run by the head of art, Joëlle den Toom, at Circa Verne.

[Eveline's POV]

Almost immediately upon closing the door and taking a few steps down the hall, I ran into Stephanie, the PA with the kind brown eyes and round face. I coordinated with her about the fan, “If you can bring her backstage and just come get me when she arrives? I don’t want to hover or anything but… just in case.” She nodded. With that, I headed off to the green room, far down the hallway and around the corner, to hang with the rest of the gang. Riley was slumped in a lounge chair, ratty converse propped up on an upholstered ottoman. Dani sat on the arm of the long leather couch, Travis was perched comfortably on the opposite side. I planted myself between them.

Things felt back to normal again. More or less. I at least didn’t feel like I had to tuck my tail between my legs every time I noticed their eyes on me. Travis offered me his flask and I drank, gratefully. “What a fucking day, huh?” That broke the ice and they all laughed and groaned in agreement. “You know… as much as I hate to say it… all three of you are entitled to a big I told you so…”

“Awww, well that takes all the fun out of it! You suck!” Riley threw a wadded up napkin at me, I batted it away to the floor.

“Look, you’ve seen me through some SHITTY red flag relationships, so I feel like I don’t have much high ground to stand on… we just want ya to be happy Ev…. Truly.” There was a pause. I knew that look on her face… there was a but, “But... watching Sam get the shit shanked out of him by Penn was pretty fucking amazing!” All I could do was shake my head and sip on the flask. That little man really had done so much to shake up my life. Who had rescued who?

After swigging the drink, I bit my lip. Dani, ever observant and never reserved, caught it immediately, “Uh oh! There it is… the Signature Lancaster Lip Bite! The dead giveaway!” My face flushed bright red.

“Shut up Dani!” I tried to hide my face behind my hands.

“You’re thinking about him aren’t you??? Don’t lie!! Honey, I don’t blame you… he’s cute as a button.. but goddamn when I see him on those screens, all up close and personal…” she waved her hand in front of her face. I gave her the finger. It felt just like college again, when we had nothing, drinking on the floor of our dorm room, playing for pennies in bars and Chinese restaurants. We were two young women gossiping about boys and dreaming of our future.

Now, almost 10 years later, and those dreams were becoming a reality. Sticks and Stones were becoming something big now. I was so proud of them, and delighted to watch it unfold. To think of where they had come, from just a bunch of college age idiots with a love of music, to playing packed houses, it was astonishing. Earlier in the day I had felt searing guilt for the loss of that deal with the two elderly creeps. But now, I knew the band would manage to find something just as good if not better on their own. They’d be alright. And now that I was free to chart my own path, I’d be right there with them for the ride. My heart thrummed in my chest. What a gift just to be here.

“Welcome back to the dark side, Ev.” Travis smiled, gingerly taking back his flask for a sip. His joke obviously pertaining to Sam’s negative view of the lifestyle. I thought I’d be more devastated by losing him. I had clung so desperately to that relationship for so long, at the detriment of my friends, after all. But having seen him behave the way he did, treating Penn with such disrespect, I finally saw the monster behind the man. I could never love someone who treated Penn, or any pet, that way. I felt a sharp twinge of shame that it had taken the little man’s desperate act of violence to get me to spring into action. It was my job to protect him. I had promised myself I would always look out for him after I’d rescued him that fateful night.

I was so glad the little man had stood up for himself, because I had been so slow to save him. Why was that? If I was honest with myself, it was because I was scared. Scared to hurt Sam. He’d always had such a strong hold over me. I was so grateful to feel his grip on my life slip away. I was free to be myself again for the first time in two and a half years.

And Penn… he would never ask me to change a thing. He loved me just as I was. To be loved wholly and completely like that… it was probably the best feeling in the world. My sweet little cowboy, what would I ever do without you?

*************

I stood in the drafty silence of my dressing room, looking at myself in the mirror just as I had done all that time ago in San Francisco. Hello, me. I adjusted the hat on my head and rolled my shoulders back, taking in the man who stood before me. His spine seemed a little straighter and his chest a little loftier than it ever had been before. He smiled back at me behind his messy hair hanging over his eyes, his white hat bouncing light from the vanity. His loose fitting, olive green jacket with sleeves rolled up and his dark, tight jeans framed his body in a flattering way. He may have only measured five and a quarter inches, but for the first time in his life, he didn’t feel so small. He was just… him. Me. I took my hat off, and held it in my hands.

This stupid thing. I loved it with all my heart. I’ll be your cowboy, Eveline. Holding it over my chest, I stepped forward to the mirror, and just like in San Francisco, I stretched out my palm and placed it to the glass. My signature. I, Penn, exist and I was here, against all odds.

No sooner had my hand collided with the cool surface of the mirror, than I heard the door over my right shoulder open. That must be Morgan, the super fan. I beamed. I couldn’t wait to meet her. I placed my hat back on my head as I turned around.

The dark, harrowing figure that loomed above, casting a long, black shadow over me, was anything but the girl I’d interacted with in the audience. I gasped, horrified. I knew exactly who this was.

[skywalkersolos-blog]

Carina

Nickname:  Rina (given to her by Shanks and later on Ace uses the nickname as well), Shanks daughter (by Luffy), Servant of the Moon (by the World Government), Servant of the stars (By the World Government), Servant of the Original Joyboy (Basically her people and race served Joyboy in the past), Bringer of storms (by Blackbeard), Star Tattoo (By tattoo on her arm and is called this by several people), waterbender (By everyone once they see her powers), Red Hairs daughter (By Mihawk), Mother Bear, Mother Bear Mode activated (When children our involved)  

Appearance:

One Piece Anime: Carina (when she was a kid before she met Luffy) had dark blue hair that she keeps in a hime-cut of different lengths. It was cut just above her forehead akin to a bowl-cut with chin-length strands framing her face. Even wearing a cream-colored hooded-jacket with the Red hair pirate symbol on the back with fur around the cuffs and hem. She also wears navy blue pants and black boots on her feet.

By the time Carina is 19 and seen again by Luffy on Drum Island she’s grown her dark blue hair out to the point where it reaches her lower back and the framing strands reach shoulder-length. She dons a lavender and cream hooded-jacket with lavender cuffs over mesh armor. She also wears navy blue pants, black boots.

After the two year time-skip her hair extends beyond her hips and would at times tie it into a ponytail. Her attire is a light lavender, sleeveless kimono-style blouse with vertical lines, tied with a dark purple obi around her waist. She wears a pair of short dark navy shorts with thigh-high stockings and has black high-heeled boots.

She always wears a teardrop necklace across her neck which holds spirit water to heal, even though she used the majority of the water to bring Ace back to life and heal Luffy after the Marineford war, she still has some left over. (It wasn’t until Wano was she able to refill the water completely)

Looks Like: Hinata Hyuga from Naruto (Younger), Hinata Hyuga from Naruto Shippuden (Older)   

Voice Actress: Stephanie Sheh (Sounds like Hinata from Naruto)

Live Action: Her skin was pale and seemed to glow white in the moon making a white glow form around her body. On Carina’s right arm she has a tattoo of six pointed stars from being one of the few remaining people of the stars and consider the servants of both the sun and moon. Her eyes are a deep once blue that was consider to rather inhumanly for a human to have in this day and age because of how ancient they seem to be according to many that meet her.  She wears a crystal blue teardrop necklace around her neck.

Actress: Kaya Scodelario

Age:

20 (At the start of One Piece, introduced during Drum Island)

22 (After the two year time skip)

23 (After the conflict with Big Mom)

Blood Type: O

Personality

Feeling Useless (After of Carina’s water bending ability works better around water, she is unless when in environments without large bodies of water nearly. Even though Carina stores water in an easily caring water jug, she isn’t able to use at lot of her powers when in battle)  

Shy (When she was a child and was consider shy by looking at the group and stuttering a lot around people. Even though as she got older she stopped stutter but began to blush red when around Ace, who she had a crush on and even stuttering in conversations with him. It wasn’t until after the Time skip did she become fully confident)

Friendly (Carina was consider the most friendly person besides Luffy within the group. She got this kind of personality from being around Shanks for the majority of her life.

Kind (Carina is kind to everyone she meets until they give a reason for her not to be)

Independent (Carina was consider the most independent member of the Red Hair pirates because she once admitted that if she couldn’t take care of herself and handle herself in battle without any help, then she shouldn’t be a pirate. This was why many didn’t expect her to join a crew)

Brave (Carina showed her bravely during Alabasta to protect Vivi and also during Marineford. She got in the middle of fights and protected Luffy during the majority of Marineford so that he could free Ace)

Self-sacrificing (Carina knew the risk of joining Luffy in rescuing Ace from Marinford and Impel Down and didn’t even think once about it. For she just agreed. She even knew the risk of bring people back to life and knew it could kill her in extra change when healing Ace. Carina later on admits she would do it again if it meant seeing Luffy never lose that smile.)

Sarcastic (Even though Carina can be sarcastic usually it’s just saying what she see which makes the person feel insulted. Rather she means to insult them or not.)

Occupation: People of the Stars (Also called the servants of the sun and moon)

Red Haired Pirates (Adopted family and first crew, even though she was a kid at the time and was consider a member of the crew. She later on left the Red Haired Pirates to go on her own journey)

Spade Pirates (She joined briefly mainly because Carina didn’t believe that Ace was Luffy’s brother. She stayed with the crew after Ace meet Shanks due to believing Ace was reckless when it came to him taking on Whitebeard in a fight.)

Whitebeard Pirates (Carina consider joining the crew only to stop when she discovered Whitebeard didn’t allowed female to fight in battle. Because of this she left without even telling any of the Spade Pirates or Ace the reason. Carina later on admits that she doesn’t what to join a Pirate crew that would look down on her because of her gender. Only for it to be revealed that was Whitebeards old rules and not current ones)   

Straw Hat Pirates (Carina joined the pirates crew on Dream Island and later on left the group after Skypiea, only to rejoin Luffy at rescuing Ace from Marineford and fight in the war. After the time skip Ace and herself join the Straw Hat crew officially)

Relatives: Shanks (Adopted father, alive), Uta (Adopted sister, fate after film Red is unknown), Birth family (Unknown), Buggy (Adoptive Uncle, alive), the red hair pirates (family)  

Power:

Waterbending (She was born with this ability and showed she could bend water to her will without any devil fruit needed. She could cause water to take form of simple water moments. She even had the ability to break and control ice (sense it’s a form of water). She’s capable of "pushing and pulling" water, streaming small amounts and manipulating it into basic forms and movements, and was beginning to gain some control over the ability to change its physical state, freezing it into ice.)

Healing (Carina’s waterbending abilities made her a rare case to naturally have access to the incredible ability to heal by manipulating the chi paths in a person's body, including herself. In her teardrop necklace is spirit water, which would enhance her healing ability when used and was able to bring people back to life or heal them from near death regardless of the injury.)  

Bloodbending(An advanced ability to manipulate the water within the body of all living beings, controlling them like puppets, which was consider dark and immortal. Though she accidently used the ability at Marineford on several people. When using bloodbending she is consider emotionless and feels a burn to hurt anyone that wronged her or hurt those she cared about.)

Observation Haki gives Carina a sixth sense of the world around them, allowing them to sense the presence (she was able to sense when Shanks arrived at Marineford, knew that Luffy was on Amazon lily when traveling nearby), strength (When bending water her water blast seemed to be able to send people flying 12 feet), and emotions of other people. It also grants limited precognitive abilities, allowing the user to sense their opponent’s intentions and predict their actions and attacks before they happen.

Armament Haki allows the user to use their spirit life force to create an essence of an invisible armor around themselves. (Carina needs to bend water over her body which creates a water like armor which basically turns her into a water logia, allowing blade to go through her without leaving a mark) 

Weapon: Knife (Though it’s rarely ever used. It is a blue blade with a water droplet at the end of the handle.) 

Bounty: 5,000 Million Berries (After the Battle of Marineford, this is her first bounty given to her by the government), 10,000 Million Berries (After Fishman island after time skip), 25,000 Million Berries (after Wano)

Favorite Food: Kimchi fried rice and lobster (Just like her adoptive father Shanks)

Love Interest: Portgas D. Ace

Like(s)

Water (Due to her ability to bend water)

Being out at sea (Carina had advanced around all of the oceans across the world and has lived on a Pirate ship for as long as she can remember. So she considers the sea her home and not an island)

Swimming (Carina is consider a great swimmer, even like the Fishman. The female revealed on Drum Island by swimming through, along with traveling on sea creatures. It doesn’t matter rather the water is hot or cold she is able to stay a normal temper because of her body)

Traveling the Grand Line (Visiting new islands and sailing on the sea. Plus adventures)

Candy (she loves sweets and even use to eat a lot of candy when she was a kid living with the Red Hair Pirates)

Music (Carina loves listening to music and songs. Especially when Uta sang and when she heard Binks Sake)

Clowns (Only because of her uncle Buggy)

Finding new islands or location  

Reading (Favorite book is rainbow mist. She use to listen to Shanks stories about Roger when she was younger)

Children (She always seems to have a soft spot for them. She would never allow a child to be endanger or anyone hurt them in a battle. Which causes many to call her; mother bear (mode.))

Dislike(s)

The World Government (Since they are the reasons her people have been killed many times over the years)

Desert (Carina doesn’t like getting sand all over her clothes or body. Nor does the female like the fact that water seems to turn into gas when it comes to the desert heat.)

Her powers (formally, back when she was a kid she disliked the fact she could bend water without eating a devil fruit. But after Shanks and Luffy called her ability cool she ended up finding it incredible)

Perverts (Whenever the boys of the crew act purvey toward females or any female. Mainly Sanji)

Marines (only when they are the bad and terrible kind that harms anyone)

Pirates (Only crews that have been in conflict with the straw-hats or Red Hair Pirates. Thought she’ll always hate the Blackbeard pirates most of all)      

Dressing up Fancy (Carina seems to dislike dresses or tradition women’s clothing, but the only time she is willing to wear dresses is at parties or celebration. Other than that she will complain like in film Gold)  

[onwardmotley]

also i LOVE the new girls’ costumes? like! Steph has her classic purple, simple but good, and i want that split-cape hood thing to wear, just, generally. Thirteen’s costume looks easy to closet-cosplay, which is its own appeal, and I am wondering how it’ll tie into her background or powers. and I am in love with how Arrowette’s costume echoes Artemis’ - she saw Artemis save her dad, after all, so her wearing Artemis’ arrowhead is really sweet. And then just the lines and design of the mask are Artemis’, but remixed! I really can’t wait to see them interact onscreen.

[artxyra]

So, me and @ThatWeirdPepperMint were wondering if you could do this request. Jason one day sneaks out and goes to a nearby ally where he finds Marinette not knowing that the fam was following. He asks Mari about buying mini guns and she gets them out of her heels, he ends up with gun-heels and wears them as as Red Hood. In that week all the fam got something from her. Tim got usb-nails. Dick got jetpack heels and retractable zip line watch. Damian got infi-purse. And Bruce got a tiara-shield.

Note: I totally did not look up Totally Spies gadgets for inspiration for some of the weapons.

It was Dick who suspected that something was up with Jason. The second oldest Wayne had been disappearing more often than usual only to return with a weapon he has never seen it in the stores. He tried to get information out of his brother about where he was but was only meet with the usual stream of threats or a careless shrug before disappearing for days on end.

The next to figure something was off, was Damian. Though for the youngest Wayne he had little care for his second oldest brother. Damian had run into Jason holding his newest weapon that was completely out of character for him. It was some kind of belt that had an expandable cable bungee. The belt did not go with his Red Hood outfit at the time, but before Damian had the chance to interrogate the male about the item, Jason had disappeared.

Then there was Tim and he had actually found out by going to get a late-night coffee and somehow ended up bumping into his predecessor, who was coming out of an alleyway with a bracelet in hand. At first, the coffee addict didn’t think much of until the idea that Jason had a secret lover pop into his brain. Instead of letting that idea down, he ended up entering a constantly dead-end investigation.

It was no shock that everyone else involved with the Wayne family's nightly activities was also intrigued by Jason’s newest additions of weapons. However, what shocked them all was when Stephanie (Steph) returned with Jason with a pair of diamond earrings. Of course, speculations began to grow among everyone, but when Spoiler ended up using the same new pair of earrings as a cutting tool they knew that whoever was making these weapons just so happened to include Steph as a client.

For half a year, they have tried to find this unique weapon dealer that Jason (and sometimes Steph) happily order from, only to be met with more dead ends. Fortunately for them, their search will soon come to an end.

Jason had broken his latest gadget, a wristwatch, on his latest mission. Dick managed to gather the immediate family (i.e. Tim, Damian, and Bruce) to follow the person behind the Red Hood anti-hero. However, Jason was streets smart. He zigged through the city; they had nearly lost him until the anti-hero had reached an alleyway just blocks away from crime alley. The family watch over the scene on the rooftops staying in the shadows.

Jason had entered from the alley’s opening and is immediately greeted by a shield of fog. The anti-hero doesn’t seem deterred from the scene before him.

“Arme chanceuse.” He states in the direction of the fog. Jason was no idiot; he knew his family is watching him, but he just couldn’t find any fucks to give at the moment.

The Batfam is shocked by the appearance of a female, looking no older than Damian. This female has long dark hair curled at the end with a mix of pink and red highlights. She was wearing in a two-piece dress, the top being a long sleeve laced with an intricate design as her skirt had a waist-high slit showcasing a pair of dark leggings and black heeled combat boots with pink and red shoestrings.

“You’re not alone, Jay-Jay.” She says crossing her arms and taking a sit in a chair that was behind a red and black table.

“Don’t care enough, Pixie. They’ve been trying to find this out for six months and at this moment, I don’t have any fucks to give. So, can you help?” Jason states causing the infamous weapon dealer to smirk.

“What you need.” She sasses back to her client.

“Miniguns the best you got.” He says giving her a knowing look.

The dealer sighs and puckers her lips. “I was saving these for Steph, but you apparently need them more.” The fog grows around the dealer and it fades away, in her hands are a pair of black heels.

“Uh, what the fuck?”

“Do you want the guns or not? The heels are the barrels, there is a safety mechanism outside the heels that you can access to minimize unwanted triggers. The magazine is on the shank. Not my best work but these combat heel boots can get the job done.” She explains gesturing to every area she talked about.

Jason picks up the heels and examines them. “Now I understand why these were meant for Steph. Thanks, Pixie, I’ll take good care of them.”

“You better!” She cries out before continuing with, “The amount of material and thinking to make them work took ages, Jay, ages!”

Jason chuckles before wishing his dealer a goodbye.

Before the Batfam could incept the two, the fog blocks their vision and suddenly it was just Jason alone in an alleyway looking the same expect the newest addition of a pair of heeled boots on his feet.

They did not see Jason again until the patrol as Red Hood.

“So, Hood, where did you get the heels? They’re looking pretty nice.” It was Nightwing that would ask first.

“Like you don’t know.” The anti-hero grunts and struts away from his oldest brother. Nightwing stares aghast and somewhat offended.

At first, the boys thought the heels were nothing but a bad joke but to see Red Hood in action, taking down each of his opponents, they knew this for real. Maybe, just maybe, they should talk to whoever this Pixie is that Jason gets his weapons from.

It was only a few nights later when the bat family corner Jason, place him in a dark room (tied up of course) and stood over him. Jason glares at his family and mentally thinks of ways to get rid of them all. The option of murder was high on his list of suggestions. 

“Who’s Pixie?” Dick’s voice pipes causing every muscle in Jason to just give up. Seriously all of this just to get information about his weapon dealer.

That night led to the family officially meeting the person Jason calls Pixie the next day.

Pixie stares at her favorite customer with an eyebrow raised and arms folded against her chest. The greetings were stale only met with grunts and an awkward smile from Dick.

“Hi, I’m Marinette, you don’t have to call me Pixie, but I have some rules when it comes to doing business with me. I don’t make standard weapons. I only deal with those who deserve it, and money is the least of my concerns though it is welcomed.” Immediately, they knew they had just entered a business. A business that Jason, and in extension Steph, has been familiar with for months.

She gives them the secret word that would “summon” her for business. She only deals at night and at various alleyways. They also found out that she has a life outside of all this and sometimes would have to cancel if that was the case Jason would tell them. Wrapping up this tremendous moment, she gives them a week to figure out what they would like before disappearing in the fog that brought her there.

Throughout the week, each of the bat members tried to convince Jason to give them Marinette’s current location, and then go to Steph when Jason wasn’t bothered to be around them. 

Tim went to Steph for Marinette's latest location. He ends up placing an order for a USB drive; what he got was beyond his coffee-addicted brain. 

“This USB nail is the perfect disguise for quick transfers, it works just like any USB out there and looks and feels like a fake nail. You can transfer up to 128 gigabits. Though be careful, the nail can break with an excessive amount of force.”

Since that day, Tim has been using the nails for hacking or work assignments. He begins to swear by them.

On multiple occasions, Tim swears he had seen Dick wearing Red Hood’s gun boots and a longer version of his nails on a couple of occasions. Dick denies it every time, but they all knew the truth. 

It took a while before Dick had come up with his ideal first weapon from Marinette. He wanted something grand and out of this world.

“You want jet pack heels and a zip line wristwatch,” Marinette states slowly trying to wrap her head around her newest order. It’s not something she isn’t used to, but the way he had explained it to her with this silly look on his face just creeped her out. “Okay.”

That night when Nightwing was on patrol, he was having a ball showcasing his new weapons. Batman had yelled at the male upon realizing that he was wearing something that was impractical. Nightwing flies away with his jet pack heels activated. Batman could only sigh and wonder how this even happened.

The next person to receive their Marinette original was Damian. The youngest Wayne had met with the weapon dealer in secret hoping that his family didn’t catch sight of him. He could only imagine the horror that would come with them finding out.

If it wasn’t for that fact that Marinette looked around Damian’s age, it looked like a drug-dealing going on as Damian was dressed in all black and a hood covering his face. Upon seeing him, Marinette managed to hold in her laughter.

“You want an infinity purse, should I even ask why?”

“It’s better for you not to know.”

Marinette accepts that answer and disappears into the fog. She comes out with a tote with Robin’s emblem in addition to her own. She hands the bag over to the Wayne and explains the limitations the bag carries.  

It is said that Damian has pulled various weapons on different people when they make fun of the bag. Some make it out without a scratch while others don’t even speak of the incident anymore.

The most shocking of appearances came from Bruce Wayne, himself.  He had come alone to meet with Marinette. At first, she thought it was a gift for the girls or a really bad joke with some hidden scheme behind it. Once she thought of it, it wasn’t a bad idea.

“Are you sure? This could ruin your bad boy aesthetic.” Marinette says giving the tall man an out.

“Yes.” Short and simple. Marinette nods and disappears into the fog.

When she returns, in her hands is a solid black tiara along with it are diamonds in the shape of bats. Sliding it across the table Marinette begins to discuss the weapon. The tiara can turn into a shield with a twist of a diamond. Bruce graciously accepts the weapon before testing it out. Upon seeing it in its shield form, Bruce begins to wonder what age the dealer is and how can he get her to join the family officially.

After everyone in the bat family received weapons that aren’t usual apart of their list of gadgets the league members begin to question their sanity. They thought Bruce was joking when they saw him with the tiara, but once it dawned on them that he never jokes, it was Flash that went around screaming his head off.

“You can rule the world, Pixie,” Jason says joining the small female in the darkness as she watches the bad guys being taken down by her own weapons.

“Eh, we knew this day would come.” She says with a smile on her face.

“Damn, Pixie, you know B-man is already in the process of trying to adopt you. You fit all the Wayne requirements to being adopted.”

“I think he already has. He’s been visiting more and more often with Steph under the pretense of getting new weapons. Damian also comes and goes as he pleases, he’s like a cat.” Marinette says glancing at the second oldest Wayne.

“Welcome to the family, sis."

[batfam-rewrites]

Batfam During Quarantine: 27 Minutes

Dick: Good morning adopted dad!

Bruce: *grunts*

Tim: Bruce is so stressed out. Yesterday I watched him stare at a page load for 1 second and he screamed his head off. He almost destroyed the computer.

Jason: I literally saw him counting grey hairs the other day. Whatever it is it must be Tim’s fault.

Tim: Don’t you blame this on me....

Dick: *speaks over Tim* Okay so anyway, here’s the challenge, *speaks a bit lower* first person to make Bruce smile gets to drive the Batmobile on their next patrol.

Cassandra: Awesome, how do we decide who.......

Jason: *walks over to Bruce*

Cassandra: Never mind.

Jason: Hey Bruuuuuce.

Bruce: *glares at Jason while slurping coffee*

Jason: Want some breakfast? *turns on stove* How about some eggs!

Bruce: What do you want?

Jason: Nothing! Just to see my *pauses a bit* old man smile.

Bruce: I will shank you.

Jason: Loving this new color on you? You should be pissed off all the time.

Bruce: Go away.

Jason: Okay......d.....d...da...

Alfred: Don’t burst a blood vessel Jason.

Jason: No, I can do this. Da......d.a....dad *sighs and puts his hand on the stove* AHHH, FUCKER!

Bruce: Jason, are you okay!

Jason: GET AWAY FROM ME, I CAN DO THIS BY MYSELF BRUCE! *quickly runs to the bathroom to run cold water over his hand*

Duke: Well that was entertaining!

Cassandra: *lays head on Bruce’s shoulder and hugs him*

Bruce: *hugs Cassandra back but no smile*

Damian: Father, I brought you a gift. *pulls out a picture of the entire batfamily together*

Bruce: *Bruce smiles* Thanks Damian, that’s really thoughtful of you.

Damian: *turns towards everyone and points* YES SUCK IT LOSERS!

Daily Briefing

Dick: Okay, so we have reached a low point of criminal activity for Gotham City which is a good thing.

Cassandra: A bit funny how it took a pandemic to make Gotham a bit peaceful.

Dick: Exactly my point. Now, with that said, we will still be doing patrols starting at 11. Tim, this is your week on sanitation duty. Throughout the day we will train a bit harder than normal. There will be scheduled times and you will each have partners. Try to train no less than two and a half hours a day. Training should include sparing, cardio, strength, and tumbling. Try to spar with someone new every week.

Dick: Also Jason, you remember when you said you wish you could fall like me.

Jason: I was being sarcastic.

Dick: I will finally be teaching you how to do pommel horse 1 hour a week like you asked.

Jason: I will kill you.

Duke: Being honest, I’d like to try high bar and floor. I feel it will be very beneficial for me in the long run.

Dick: Awesome! You got it. Now everyone has until tomorrow to pick their partner, I know my partner will be Jason. 

Jason: Fuck you.

Dick: Also, last thing before I make the training schedules and routines, I need to address something. There are quite a lot of people in Gotham City still refusing to wear mask. During the day lets try to hand out mask with our own designs on them to everyone who we come across during the day. I already ordered them and they should be here by Saturday, so that is something we will be doing starting next week. 

*alarm sounds off in the batcave*

Alfred: It would seem there is a fire at Wayne Tower on the thirty-second floor.

Dick: Alright, Duke, Jason, and I will go to check it out. Everyone else do what you would normally do.

Tim and Bruce

Tim: Hey Bruce, I brought you some coffee!

Bruce: How many cups have you had?

Tim: Three large cups.

Bruce: After......

Tim: *mumbles* The five cups I had with breakfast.

Bruce: There we go.

Tim: Okay so what are we doing?

Bruce: Someone is trying to hack into my server. If they do so they will have unlimited knowledge of the companies upcoming projects, along with the identities of our persona’s.

Tim: How long do we have?

Bruce: 27 minutes. Try to locate the hackers location.

Nightwing, Red Hood, and The Signal

They all rushed to the thirtieth floor to help out and find that the firemen are ready to head to the floor. The three heroes turned on their oxygen tanks and they charged in with the firefighters. Half of the entire floor was covered in flames. They noticed a conference room with a few people inside and Jason rushed to the door, pulling out his guns. He shot the door several times before kicking it down and escorting the people out. After that there wasn’t much left for them to do so they went back down. 

Fire Officer: Nightbird, that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen anyone do.

Jason: *laughs*

Dick: Thanks.

Fire Officer: Lets get you all checked.

Jason: The mask stay on though.

Alfred and Julia

Alfred: What are we watching

Julia: Well, I thought that with both of us being former spies, I thought we could watch an American film franchise called Mission Impossible.

Alfred: And tear it apart by it’s inaccuracies!

Julia: Yes!

Alfred: Sounds wonderful!

Nightwing, Red Hood, and The Signal

Time- 19:37

Medic: They seem fine, no way of telling for sure though without their mask off.

Duke: So we’re good to go, awesome!

Fire Officer: The fire upstairs has been put out.

Dick: Good.

Tim: Dick, are you still at Wayne Tower?

Dick: Yes, what’s up?

Tim: We’re dealing with a hacker trying to get into the server at Wayne Inc. The hacker is inside the building. We have 16 minutes and 55 seconds......

Dick: Say no more! We’re on it!

Fire Officer: There’s been another fire across town. Lets move out!

Dick: Duke, investigate the fire upstairs. If I’m not mistaken, it should be arson.

Duke: Got it.

Dick: Jason, stay here there is a hacker inside the building, You have 16 minutes to find the person or else Batman is doomed.

Jason: I guess I’ll look. 

Dick: GO! NOW!

Jason: Got it Nightbird!

Nightwing

Dick follows the fire fighters down to the floor and tells the guard to let no one in or out of the building. He rides his motor cycle, tailing the fire trucks to the scene of the next fire. He runs into the apartment complex, turning the oxygen tank on. He notices the first floor is clear so he rushes up the stairs to notice the flames stretched out across it. He dives through them and hears pounding on one of the doors. He sees the other residents and grabs two children, takes out his grappling hook, and shoots it towards the ceiling. He leads them down and has them run out of the building. He gets back up to the scond floor and takes the parents and lets them run out as well. When he saw them leave, he jumped back up to the second floor and ran into the door 3 times before finally breaking it down. The flames were now getting closer. He get back up and saw Barbara giving him a hand up.

Barbara: Need some help?

The Signal

Duke: What do you smell?

Fire Marshall: Alcohol.

Duke: Exactly.

Fire Marshall: So.... why did you ask?

Duke: Just wanted to check. Red Hood, Red Robin, Nightwing. Our hunch was right. We have an arsonist inside the building. Some witnesses have said they saw a maintenance worker carrying bottles of vodka in his cart. If I had to assume, both fires are a distraction from finding the hacker meaning there is an accomplice to whoever is in the building.

Jason: Good, now I’m pretty sure I speak for Nightbird when I say this, start helping me search for this bastard.

Duke: On it.

Tim and Bruce

Time- 10:17

Harper: I came as fast as I could.

Bruce: Good, set up your computer.

Harper: Why isn’t Alfred helping?

Bruce: Shut up and get to work.

Harper and Bruce try to fight off the hacker as well as they could. 

Harper: Awesome!

Bruce: Not good enough though.

Tim: What’s up?

Harper: We bought ourselves a few extra minutes.

Tim: Nice.

Time- 13:38

Nightwing and Batgirl

Dick: Damn, you’re a sight for sore eyes!

Barbara: Come on! We have one more floor!

The two rush to get the last residents out of the building. The flames were starting to be extinguished by the fire fighters outside of the building. Parts of the ceiling began to collapse as they made it to the top floor. Grabbing the residents they set them down on the floor and rushed to the exit, only to find it blocked by parts of the ceiling.

Dick: Stand back! Batgirl, help me clear the exit.

The two move the rubble out of the way and the residents flee the building. Both ask the authorities if they needed help, but were turned down. When the fire was put out, both walked in, and under the heavy smell of smoke, was also the scent of alcohol.

Red Hood and The Signal

Time- 8:47

Jason was on the twentieth floor, searching, when he got the announcement.

Tim: THE HACKER IS ON THE FORTY-FOURTH FLOOR!!!

Jason: Signal, where are you?

Duke: Fortieth!

Jason: I’ll see you on the forty-four! 

Jason rushed up the stairway and ran up to the forty-fourth floor to see Duke there taking on three men. Jason then pulled out his pistols and shot all three with non-lethal rounds. 

Duke: Had to take away my fun, didn’t you?

Jason: Yes! 

Tim: Did you guys get them?

Duke: All hostiles are taken down.

Tim: Awesome!

Alfred, Julia, Stephanie, Cassandra, and Selina

Alfred: Why would he choose the safe house. If this were reality Ethan would have already been arrested.

Stephanie: Alfred, we love you to death, but your ruining an amazing movie.

Julia: The movie ruined itself by it’s inaccuracies. Plus this is our bonding time, you guys weren’t even invited!

Selina: Yeah, but you guys took the only copy and once we saw you watching it, we just really wanted to watch it, too.

Harper: Oh, cool! Mind if I join?

Alfred: *sighs* The more the merrier.

Nightwing and Batgirl

Dick: Alright, our guy lives in apartment 22 on 1807 Zics Street. Let’s head there now and see if we can find him.

Barbara: Lets head there. Want to get something to eat after?

Dick: Definitely.

Dick and Barbara get on their motorcycles and drove to the apartment where they found the arsonist. They tied him to a lamppost and Barbara informed the GCPD the location of the arsonist.

 Dick: So, how has your dad been doing?

Barbara: Not too bad. He’s been a bit under pressure but he’s doing fine. How is it being a dad at the mansion?

Dick: Ohhh god. I had the thought once and decided to leave that duty to Alfred. 

Barbara: *Barbara laughs*

Dick: I help him a bit. It’s been so difficult acting like a grown up. I had to seriously step in when Alfred called Jason “Master Todd”

Barbara: Please explain further?

Dick: Well, because Jason is, well, Jason, he lost his shit because he’s “not a snooty ass rich motherfucker, Alfred!”

Barbara: Damn, I could so see that.

Dick: Yeah, and it doesn’t help that Bruce totally lost the ability to interact with other people. The other day Damian was acting up and Bruce picked him up and shouted “WHERE’S THE OFF BUTTON!”

Barbara: *laughs harder*

Dick: *laughs himself* You should have been there, it was funnier in person.

The two stare at the sky for a bit as they watch the sun set. Barbara leans her head on Dick’s shoulder and they both relax. 

Dick: I love you Babs.

Barbara: I love you too, Dick.

Dick

They both left the rooftop they were sitting on at around 8:30. Dick had missed Barbara so much and was glad to have been able to see her. He didn’t care he broke one of Bruce’s rules. It wasn’t like Bruce was going to remember anything from the first week anyway. He got into the batcave and began creating workouts for everyone. He then went to the bathroom and took a shower in the batcave, and then went upstairs. He walked into the media room to see Alfred and Julia spending time as a family.

Dick: Aw, isn’t this sweet!

Julia: Get the fuck out Dick!

Dick: Damn, okay.

Dick then walked into the kitchen to see everyone in there.

Tim: Someone took long getting back to the mansion.

Stephanie: What happened.

Dick: I met up with Babs.

Everyone: WHAT!!!!

Damian: No fair. If I knew I could have been with Jon this entire time I would have!

Selina: You’re not able to Damian, and you knew you weren’t suppose to interact with anyone outside of the mansion.

Dick: Chill. Everything is fine. We’re more likely to get sick on patrol then by hanging out with each other. What’s up with Alfred and Julia?

Jason: They got tired of everyone ruining their family bonding time so they kicked us out.

Dick: That makes sense.

There was a knock at the door, so Dick goes to open it.

Dick: Helloooo...............

Helena: Hey Dick, you look great!

Dick slams the door shut and covers the door.

Jason: *shoves Dick to the side and opens the door* Hey, Helena! It is so awesome to see you! What are you doing here?

Helena: I’m here to stay and help. Where should I put my bags?

Jason: You could put them in Dick’s room for right now! You remember where that is, right?

Helena: Yep!

Dick: coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool. *starts falling to the floor*
