#but who gives a damn about her as Kory?

[thesummerstorms]

... Made myself legitimately, physically sad thinking about Kory's place on Earth post NTT /in modern comics generally.

exes

prompt — dick grayson has a lot of exes. you don't want to be one of them.

tags —  just overall softness after a period of inactivity <3

you've seen them before. there's kory. she's tall and pretty with green eyes and golden skin and curly red hair that turns into literal fire. she's six foot tall and looks like a damn super model with her six pack and toned arms.

she's sweet and kind and understanding and forward. she's gentle with everybody, and treats everyone the same. she's a literal goddess, and you're sure that he would've chosen her as his future wife.

there's babs. now, if you didn't think he'd fall for kory, he would've definitely spent his entire life with her. how could he not? childhood best friends who've known each other since they could crawl. they've been out in crime together. you opt to stay in and not risk your life, and pray that he comes home safe every night.

she's got flaming red hair. she's not as tall as kory, but she's plenty tall enough. she could be a supermodel if she wants. you're pretty sure she's the toughest person you know. you know she's been shot by the joker and paralyzed for several years, and she's still never lost faith in her ability.

dick's often joked about his red hair-girl kink, and when you self consciously look at your own hair, which isn't flaming red like the girls he's adored, he wraps his arms around you and says, "aw, honey! you not having red hair is just proof i love you for you!"

there's bea. you've seen her only once. when he was ric grayson, and still trying to figure out who he is, she was there for him. she's beautiful, blue locs and sharp intelligent black eyes. she's refused to see him after finding out who he is, and he grows soft when he remembers what happened both.

and the huntress. god, the amount of women that have fallen in love with him isn't fair. helena bertenelli is savage, tough, quick, ruthless. everything you want to be. all the women who have fallen in love with him are unique in their own wright, a modern masterpiece.

but he loves you.

and you're sure he does, because when he comes home from patrol, he wraps his arms around your waist and kisses your neck to show you that he's here, he's real.

he does the dishes and the laundry even though he has vigilante duties that night. he kisses you and says "i love you" even when you argue. he never raises his voice.

when you're too tired to do things, he gives you cuddles, even if he deserves them more than you do. he holds your hand in public. he shields you from the invasion of paparazzi.

when you fight, he spends all night trying to figure it out. he makes sure you have date nights no matter what. he blushes when he speaks to you. he stumbles over his words sometimes. his pick up lines are so cheesy that they make your heart sore.

they're just exes. his past.

you're you. his future.

Voices: Jason Todd x reader

Dreaming was good.

Dreaming was nothing less of a perfect when she could feel his warm body next to her. The strong, protective embrace of his arms wrapped around her.

Or even if they got into a fight and were angry at each other - it was calming knowing that Jason was right beside, just a touch away. Even if he flinched and scoffed at the gentle move of her fingers on his back or shoulders. sooner or later he always relented and they worked through whatever shit was going on.

Together.

But dreaming was not always good.

Not when she woke up in the middle of the night, brutally torn from the very vivid and very real nightmare of Jason's dead, lifeless body in her arms. His blood on her hands and face. His empty, cold eyes. His emotionless face.

NO!!

The jolt was so sudden that even her cat, sleeping peacefully in the foot of the bed run away form her, leaving poor girl completly alone.

alone.

Going to bed alone. Every night.

Waking up alone. Every morning.

Deprived of his touch, his kisses, his love and affection.

Any affection.

And maybe she was acting like a whiny baby, but she needed him with her. Not out there. Not fighting crime lords or whatever villain might have shown his face at Gotham.

3 am....

Please come back home....

4 am,

5 am.....

Was he injured? Was he bleeding, hurt, scared? Maybe he took off running? Maybe he got back together with one of his exes? Artemis? Kori? Rose?

Maybe she wasn;t good enough for him? Maybe he realised he actually wanted some badass vigilante chick with toned muscles, sharp tongue, fiery attitude? Maybe he wanted someone hot?

She wasn't hot.

She was a wimp, shuddering in the cold, empy bed desperately craving her boyfriend presence. Be it bruised or in bad mood, but please --

Please come home.

I'll be better, I'll do better, I'll improve.

I'll be what you want me to be, just please don't leave me.

So far from what a modern woman should be, right? Codependent, fragile, weak, vulnerable, pathetic.

Or maybe just in love with a vigilante.

How did it happen that she got from worrying about him to questioning her whole lonely exsistence in 10 minutes?

He doesn;t want you.

You're ugly.

You're fat.

You're unnatractive.

You really thought he would stay with you? did you already imagine the real-life play-pretend with him? White dress? Picket white fence? Familiy?

You stupid little girl.

He doesn;t want you, he never wanted you, he won't ever want you.

"SHUT UP!!!" she cried out in frustration, tears rolling down her face as her demons started to prey on her like on a Goya painting "Shut up! shut up! shut up!" she shook violently.

"Are you talking to me now?" a familiar voice and the sound of discarded red helmet echoed in her head "Damn Y/N! If there's anything you learned during those years it's definitely developing a good hearing-- Baby?" Jason became alarmed the second he took in her state. "Baby? Y/N? What happened? WHO HURT YOU?!"

It was impossible for Jason to keep his cool when he saw her crying. The first thought popping into his head being someone did something to her. Someone caused this. And the fact that it was 5 a.m. and most people were sleeping and that there was no one but them in their apartment slipped his mind, clouded by the incoming wave of rage

"Give me the name baby.' he took a few step forwards, kneeling on the floor next to bed and cupping her chin forcing her eyes on him "tell me who did this to you."

"You did!" she sobbed

"I--" holy fuck! In his blinding fury and the sudden need for revenge he didn't realise she could be sheding those crocodlie tears because of him.

"Why are you leaving me?" she sobbed

"Why am I --?" Y/N was not making any sense right now "I'm not--"

"Liar!" the girl yelled with surprising strength given her fragile state "You think she's hot, don't you?"

"Who?"

"Your ex!"

"My ex? Y/N, princess, why don't you calm down and--"

"I AM COMPLETLY CALM!" now Jason was almost sure that the neighbours were already up, ready to impale them both on pitchforks and uncovering his secret identity.

"Ok, ok, baby..." he raised his hands in surrender, observing her every move and slightest change in face expression.

This was new. This was something he wasn;t entirely sure of how to proceed with. Out of all the opponents he had to fight never in his mind would he thought that his girlfiriend would be the most challenging.

Was this an attack of hysteria? A panic attack? An anxiety fit?

Jason was way too familiar with all that.

What if it was him? What would she do if he woke up in the middle of the night, jittery for no particular reason? What could possibly be helpful?

And then it dawned on him.

And it all happened at once.

Bed dipping, his weight on her, his hands on her body, his breath on her face and the all-encompasing smell of blood, gunpowder and cigatettes.

Soft caress of her hair.

Gentle peck on her nose.

Developing too fast to give her any time to object, not that she wanted to.

"I got you." he whispered pulling her closer to his chest, not caring about the bruise that was already forming on his right side and that cut on his forearm. She was more important now. "I got you, baby, I got you..." he kissd her forehead warming and calming her by the mass of muscles and bythe rapid but steady beating of his heart.

she was still shaking but the firm yet gentle grip on her refused to let go untill it all subsided. Steading her, anchoring her in reality. Helping her realise that whatever her traitorous mind suggested had nothing to do with actuallity. Even if it took days, weeks, years, Jason was not going to move, keeping her pinned to his chest until being full certain she was back to him, having her full attention.

"Do you think I'm ugly....?" she muttered causing him to laugh, the movement of his body causing vibrations.

"I think you should get some proper rest. Otherwise the next thing you're going to ask me is going to be that "if i was a worm..." question."

"Bbut if I was a worm would you--?"

"Hush, woman!" he cut her off with the cheesiest smile "I had a rough night and need to sleep. Which means you are stuck with me for as long as I please."

"are you--?"

"I said, hush woman." he tightened the hold on her, preventing her from squirming and moving too far. "you're my body pillow now, accept your fate."

"are you hurt?" she whispered

"I'm perfect." he whispered back, closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Making all the hateful voices in her head shut up. Bringing in the silence and peace.

But the talk he was going to give her in the morning would be a capital letter one.

Ugly.

Huh. She had no idea what measures he was going to resort to proving her wrong...

*whispers* Dick being jealous of Kori and Jason being so close but he can't decide what to do (especially bc its Kori and he kinda doesnt wanna admit his feelings for Jay)

Okay but let’s consider Dick having a crush on both Kory and Jason at the same time. What’s more, let’s throw in Roy having that same crush on these two busty beauties, lol. So it’s just Dick and Roy pining from a distance and heaving sighs that startle one another because, caught up in their moments as they were, they didn’t notice one another. And they’re content to mind their own business so they go back to pining. Only it happens again [with the simultaneous sighing] and Dick and Roy can’t help but laugh because, ‘oh damn, you too?’

Meanwhile Kory catches her boys staring after Jason and her and she thinks it's so delightful. Jason can't help but marvel at her because Kory's smile is the goddamn sun, he's been blinded! Which makes Kory laugh, but then she points out how Dick and Roy are checking them out and Jason sputters because Kory means checking 'her' out, c'mon.

Only, no. Not at all. Because with Dick, especially, Kory knows him. All his tells, his habits. She'd recognize that lovelorn look anywhere. The mirth in his eyes, the warmth in his smile - Dick is smitten. And Roy, well. He looks much the same. Just as dazzled, just as adoring.

Something something Kory and Jason's chests being smushed together, limbs all tangled (full fanservice experience here no shame). Maybe Kory and Jason spar and they trip and it's just a dream to these two men standing across the room who are simultaneously trying to be respectful and not look but are very blatantly staring and, oh. Jason sees that.

And he snickers because oh, Kory and him can have some fun with this, can't they?

Which leads to Kory and Jason playful shenanigans of flustering and sexually frustrating Dick and Roy so bad that they both get tongue tied and timid because these busty beauties on their own? Striking, gorgeous, so kind and compassionate it's overwhelming. Together? Fuck.

Roy gets the flustered giggles over being flirted at. Dick is just struck dumb by his own smittenness.

Ahhhhhh Kory leading the charge with Jason to woe Roy and Dick into a relationship with them //u///

The joyfire comes together easily enough, but Dick? Stubborn as a mule. He's wholly convinced he deserves none of them, let alone all of them. Which, hahah, the fool. Dick gets the full brunt of being courted by the joyfire trio. He doesn't stand a chance.

Dick pleading with Roy to give him a break and Roy quipping back on how Dick can have a break once he's helped Roy and Kory satisfy Jason. Yeah, Roy sees how Dick's gaze lingers there in particular it's cool they've all talked about it Jason is ready (just don't tell Jason that Roy told Dick that, he'd get embarrassed). (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Meanwhile Dick is left sputtering because hot damn what??

Fun fact: Once they all get to that point and Dick's attention is on Jason, Jason overheats and wakes up to being fanned by three very gorgeous people and he just about passes out again because flustered maiden vibes.

Well, I got some time on vacation, so I translated another chapter. I hope you enjoy it)))

Damian ran up the stairs into the house, no longer trying to convince himself that he was in a hurry to start sketching. And who did he really want to deceive, even if the Titans were whispering behind their backs, but carefully averted their eyes, pretending to believe in the "friendship" between Robin and Raven?

The bedroom greeted him with the smell of wood polish and crisp-fresh sheets, finally weathering the putrid smell of the cave. The coming dusk crept across the room like shadows, one of which fluttered weightlessly towards him, hugging his torso and breathing raggedly into his neck.

— Worried about me? — Damian smiled into the girl's hair.

— Not at all, — Raven replied calmly, her heart pounding frantically against his chest through layers of clothing and armor. — After tasting Kori's cooking, I'm pretty sure you're immortal.

— Why did you remind me? — The assassin groaned, releasing the demoness from his embrace.

—You smell... something similar," she lowered her eyes in embarrassment and took a half step back. — This is… Is it okay?

— That's fine with me, — Damian replied, knowing full well that Raven wasn't referring to the smell. — And you?

— I'm still getting used to it. It's unusual to give free rein to your own feelings. I'm not even sure I know how to express them properly. I've never had to be someone's... girlfriend before.

— So you haven't been with anyone in these two years...? — came out of his mouth before the assassin had time to think.

Damn, he wasn't going to ask about it, and if there was something, he didn't want to know!

— With my father's incessant voice in my head and unabated feelings for you? Raven raised an eyebrow skeptically, but Damian's scowl said he was waiting for a direct answer. And a short "No" swept through his body in a wave of relief.

— I didn't even think about it, — the girl added. — And you?

— I didn't go on dates with anyone, — the young man hastened to assure. — Looks like we're both new to this.

— Is there really something that Damian Wayne doesn't understand at the creator's level? — The demoness chuckled.

— Don't mock me, habibti, or I'll start practicing right now and we'll both smell like Kori's cooking, — an armoured glove tightened around her waist. — Maybe there are some rules?

— The rules of an ideal relationship? Raven snuggled closer. — I don't think there are such people.

— So we'll come up with our own, — he quickly kissed the girl on the forehead. — And we will bring it to perfection.

— Mh, are we going to have kisses on schedule?

—With tea breaks, — Damian nodded.

The mischievous lilac gaze caught the laughing green one, after which the bedroom was filled with laughter. The young man touched his lips to her hair once more, mentally thanking those unknown forces that brought Raven back to him, because, gods see, how he missed her!

Series Masterlist:

——————————————-

You walk into the cave and sense the tense atmosphere. Damian is glaring daggers at Dick who is scolding him for what you hear is about his lack of respect, and Kory is looking at both of them, taken back. Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Barbara, Cass, and Duke look uncomfortable as fuck. Bruce tiredly looks at the scene and then buries his face in his hands in exasperation. Alfred is nowhere to be seen. You walk closed and finally clear your throat, making them stop and look at you. "Bad time to arrive?" you say and Bruce has never been more thankful for the fact that you have appeared. "Not at all, we were just discussing the strategies and it got out of hand. Good of you to join us, Calvary. I have hope that you won't be making this a habit" says Bruce making you smile sheepishly as you walk toward them. You try to ignore the looks they are giving you. "Well then, fill me in on what has happened, the sooner I'm up to date, the quicker a solution can be found," you say as you go and stand next to Barbara. As Bruce fills you in, you can feel a few pairs of eyes set on you. To be honest, they were ALL stealing glances at you. Your new armor came as a surprise to them. It suited you. It hugged your body nicely and showcased your best features. Definitely a good look on you. "That would be about it, any suggestions?" finished Bruce and you hum. Finally, you speak up, "We need to go undercover. Selina is out of the question because she was already our main source of information and if they see her more than one night, knowing Penguin, he will start to grow suspicious. Harley is also out, last I know, they weren't in the best of spots and that takes Ivy out as well. We could always call Kate. She hasn't been working much with direct contact with the rouges so it could be an opening. A simple in and out. But it can't stop there, we need eyes everywhere. We should expand patrol routes so that we can observe all of Penguin's trade activity. Call in Harper and Luke. Ivy, Selina, and Harley can help as well. We need all hands on deck. Patrol the ports and the Gotham highway exits for any unusual activity. We can rotate so it won't look suspicious." Bruce stays quiet. He wasn't that fond of having missions extend away from the people present but they did need all hands if they wanted to stop it before it started.

Bruce nodded pleased by her suggestion. "I'll call Harper, Luke, Selina, and Kate. You make sure Ivy and Harley are on board. Remember to keep a low profile, too many vigilantes out can cause alarm and potentially give away that we are out for them. We will go on the usual patrol routes tonight and begin tomorrow with the new ones. Dismiss" and just like that he turned and headed straight for the Batcomputer. This gave freeway for the others to finally greet you properly. "I'll be damned, Yn swoops in and saves the day!" exclaims Steph with a laugh, pulling you into a hug. You laugh and greet her back. "First of all, EXPLAIN THE SUIT!" said Barbara excitedly and the girls nod. "Definitely cause girl you looking fired up!" exclaimed Duke and you smile. "Grandmother gave it to me, she insisted I should start to live up to my Amazonian status and mom insisted as well," you say and they all nod. You turn to Jason, who hugs you and lifts you up. "Well damn, Amazonian armor fits you well sis!" and you squeeze him back. Once he lets go, Tim walks to you, "Please do not make it a habit to leave so often, especially in the middle of a case." and you laugh as you ruffle his hair affectionately. "I'll try not to" you say holding your pinky, to which Tim wrapped his around yours and nodded. Hey! Pinky promises were sacred in this family. Finally, Damian steps forward, arms crossed. "Is that armor even durable for battle?" (translation: are you sure it will keep you safe?) he asks and you mimic his crossed arms and answer, "Of course Damian, it was made by the gods themselves and all of my adjustments are still there, so trust I will be alright." He nods and goes to stand next to you, leaving Dick as the only person left to greet you. You both stay looking at each other. Your gaze is challenging and his was a little starstruck.

My word, you looked heavenly. He would never say it out loud but he had always loved how your old suit looked on you. He always saw it as a shame when you had decided to drop your cowl and reserve it for emergencies only. He remembered one of the times he had come back from Bludhaven to visit and saw you. He had been 19 at the time and you 17. He had done a double take when he saw you. You truly had grown and blossomed through the years, becoming one beautiful young lady. He had always found you attractive, but that was always set aside and ignored because of your constant fighting. But then, as he saw you giggling with Babs as you both teased Bruce about the date he had with Selina, he knew that he couldn't ignore it anymore. You were mesmerizing. A sight that he never got tired of admiring. Sure you had your differences but fucking hell, you are one beautiful woman and your suit always highlighted that. Coming back to the present, nothing could prepare him for the moment you walked out of the Zeta tube. He quite literally felt his breath being knocked out of his lungs. From your ponytail adorned by the royal headpiece to the way, the suit hugged your body, to the knee-high boots. You were a sight. And when you took your mask off, those gorgeous (y/c) eyes that found him and challenged him to say something made his heart stop for a second. You were going to be his ruin and it scared him how more than willing he was of letting that happen. He was so ready to get on his knees, worship, and pledge allegiance to he-

"ehem"

his train of thought was interrupted by Kory, who was staring holes into Yn. "You must be Calvary, I am Princess Koriand'r of Tamara, also known as Starfire. A pleasure to meet you" she said, extending her hand towards Yn. Everyone noticed the slight snark in her tone as she dropped her titles. Thankfully, Diana had assumed something like this would happen and prepared Yn on how to respond when someone tried to intimidate her with status. Yn lifted her head and tightly grasped Kory's hand. "Princess Yn Prince of Themiscira, darling of the gods. It is a pleasure indeed" she said holding eye contact with Kory. Yn let go of her hand and said, "Now if you excuse me, I have some calls to make, hope your stay has been pleasant so far." and turned to walk away to her lab, turning the lights on, and sitting on her desk. Watching the entire thing, Damian smirked. Oh, how he adored Yn. Dick gulped and turn his gaze towards Star, who looked at him suspiciously as if trying to read him. He then turned to Damian, who crossed his arms once again, and walked away towards Yn's lab, "Not hearing it, Grayson". The rest had already left after Yn left aside from Barbara. Kory huffed and decided to walk upstairs. Dick closed his eyes, knowing he was in for another argument, and groaned. Barbara looked at him with pity, "Oh Dick, what have you gotten yourself into" she said as she placed a hand on his shoulder and walked past him. What indeed had he gotten himself into.

[ambelle]

The way Dick was staring at Kory so intensely, with so much adoration (& passion 🤭) at the dinner table and later on the bridge, really made my heart skip a beat.

Like some have mentioned, he rarely openly show's affection like that but of course Kory is the exception, as usual.

I know some ppl were bummed he didn't say "I love you" but I'd argue this whole damn season was him prooving that he indeed does love and is IN love with Kory without a doubt. Same for her. It was very clear in the final episode, that they were in love with eachother and both finally admitting it, even if those exact words weren't said.

Idk, sometimes it really doesn't need to be spelled out like that.

Although, I do think had we gotten another season we would've heard the explicit ILU's especially if we were supposed to actually get Mar'i 🥹.

Anyways, Dick was staring at Kory like she was the main entrée at dinner loll like damn your children are right there sir.

Then on the bridge when he oh so smoothly, strongly suggested they start making babies immediately. He was so serious he had our girl Kory shook 🤣. If they had kissed after that stare, I wouldn't have been surprised but the way Dick was acting it might've turned into some public indecency loll.

I also thought it was really cute they alluded back to season one when Kory bought Dick that alcohol to figure out his "secrets" and see his "moves".

Kory was so adorable being like "Hey let me buy you a coffee," but Dick really said nah buy me another drink so we can get hot & heavy 💀. The boldness, compared to his normal demeanor, was giving me whiplash in a good way. I'm just so glad they got to be together and happy in the end~💙💜

You know what I loved about Dick in the last few scenes is his intensity. He wasn’t flirting like earlier in the season he was being bold and straight forward. For one he was the one making her blush and giggle.

They show their love so loudly that I’m not super pressed about them saying “I thought I lost you” instead of ILY. But I do agree they’d say it in season 5 when they were settled into a relationship.

I wish we got a full season of them as a couple but I’m not holding that against the writers. They aren’t the ones who cancelled the show. What they did here is give us a clear glimpse into their future and showed us how far Dick will go to protect Kory. Like we knew it but seeing him be so open and concerned for her was beautiful. They way Kory was brought out of that spell in 4x08 because of Dicks feelings for her? Beautiful.

Dick asking Kory for a real drink + saying they should get started on Mar’i is hilarious. Like he went 0-100. And I love how Kory knew him wanting a drink means he’s propositioning her 😅

Like sure I want season 5 with Mar’i but season 4 with Dicks desperation to save her and Kory willing to give up her life for him and the world…it was epic. I’ll miss them.

Spider-verse, but Nightwing

OK I once saw a comment somewhere which went along the lines of...

"I wish Dc would give us a animation-like Spiderverse of Nightwing"

and at first i kind of ignored it- cuz idk, i don't really care about Nightwing- I mean, i love him! He's great, but not one of my favorite batfamily members.

BUT THEN I REALIZED THE OTHER CHARACTERS WOULD BE THERE TOO

so, here's what i think a Spiderverse movie would be like,

(If the plot was similar)

Nightwing- Obv he's Miles Morales, the main character!

Gwen- OK, the love interest. So we have three main competitors for fan favorite ships! Dick/Wally, Dick/Barbara, and Dick/Kori! Now one of them is already cancelled by default, because Dc is a coward, so we only have Barbara and Kori left! and well, Barbara fits Gwen's personality much more than Kori, and that paired with the fact that DC favors DickBabs in general, WE HAVE A WINNER!

SpiderVerse- okay, this is where it starts to lean a bit away from the movies and a bit from the comics; Spiderverse is now the Court of Owls! My headcannon is that for some reason all vigilantes (minus Batman and one other person, u will find out) join the court of owls thinking it has the right idea, and then BOOM its not actually that good (it kills people it can't control). BUT its not that wrong either. When it figures out what its doing wrong, it starts helping the vigilantes against the real evil, which is...

Spot- The league of assassins :)) YES I KNOW, IT ISN'T REALLY A MAIN VILLAIN of Nightwing's, but STILL, it's too good of a opportunity to give up seeing Ra's and Talia in the movie.

Miles Parents- Bruce and Selina, obviously. I think Jefferson's personality as a parent is PERFECT for Bruce-emotionally-constipated-dad! Selina is Bruce's wife, obv, BUT there is one change here...Y'know that scene where Rio gives Miles that 'your un-grounded" talk? I think it would be Wally giving Nightwing a super cool heartwarming speech (it won't be the same though) and then turned out Selina was listening to it all and at the end is just like "sigh, ok, you're ungrounded, come back soon, i'll deal with Bruce."

NOW FOR THE REST OF THE BATFAMILY MEMBER'S

Tim Drake- DRUM ROLL PLEASE, Hobie Brown! Hobie's smart, and while his personality might be a bit too much....It's still perfect for the role Tim would be playing. Hobie doesn’t trust the Court, and at the end he’s the one who had everything prepared for when they realise that the Court Of Owls is wrong!

Stephanie Brown- AND SHE'S GOING TO BE OUR FAV CINNAMON ROLL, Pavitr Prabhakar. And as much as it pains me as a Pakistani to remove his Indian heritage, it must be done. He's goofy, he ships the two main characters, and is just adorable, he's perfect for Stephanie, and will definitely give her justice.

Cassandra Cain- Sadly, Cass is going to have a less prominent role in the second movie, but hopefully she shows up more in the third; Margo Kess! the scene where she lets Miles go is perfect, because she can detect body language and would understand that Nightwing is right, and Miguel is planning on hurting him.

Damian Wayne- FINALLY MY FAV CHARACTER, but this one is more of a original character instead of a already made character in the movie; Damian is going to be the person Dick has to save. Because i love their dynamic. So, Damian is probably being manipulated by LoA, and idk maybe Ra's is trying to use him as a body vessel without Damian knowing, and the court of owls needs him dead because "HES A WILD CARD" but Dick just NEEDS to save him "BECAUSE THAT'S MY BROTHER, DAMN YOU, IM NOT LETTING ANOTHER ONE DIE" and cue everyone fighting LoA and then a wholesome Dick and Dami scene; Feel free to elaborate on it.

Jason Todd- I had to think a lot for this, but i have a PERFECT answer; Uncle Aaron. ITS SAD AND WILL BREAK HEARTS BUT ITS PERFECT, HELP- The relationship with Jefferson? check. Dies? check. What more do we need?

a happy and alive Jason

Hey! Maybe he comes back when hey go to save Damian! Actually, yes, that is 100% the plot. They find Jason revived at the league and save him :3

Duke Thomas- I CANT FIND A CHARACTER FOR DUKE BUT HE HAS TO BE HERE DAMN IT- please either come up with a original character for Duke or find a already made character PLEASE.

RANDOM OTHER CHARACTERS

Peter B. Parker- Must i explain why? No, no i do not. its perfect.

Mayday- Jon Kent :))) Because why not///

MJ- (Peters wife and Maydays mother) Obv Lois Lane.

Miguel- Random court of owls leader (any idea's?).

SpiderWoman- Can't think of anyone...let me know what you guys think in the comments!

Peni Parker- Kori!! She's perfect

Pig Spiderman- Beast Boy lmao

Black and White Spiderman- Meme version of Raven.

Roy Harper- Just another original character who i need in the movie.

King-Pin- Mr. Freeze! his goals match up pretty well with Kingpins anyway.

The rest of the villains Miles faces will be random Rogues from Batman's gallery.

The rest of the Spiderman's in Spiderverse will be random Justice-League members (OMG I LOVE THIS)

And, well, the first movie takes place when it's only Dick and Jason adopted (Before Jason's death, and then a bit after, when Dick is dealing with the grief)

Feel free to add more stuff in reblogs/Comments! Really want to see what you guys come up with :3

Dangerous Inquiries (ch.28)

"I already told y-"

"No. Tell me everything now or never." you repeated glaring at him dangerously. Jason looked taken aback by how serious you were acting and gulped nervously. He closed his eyes briefly before opening them and meeting your gaze again.

"It's not what it looks like...." he whispered. "I... I didn't kill him." he stated, struggling to speak clearly. He paused, closing his eyes momentarily, trying to gather his thoughts.

"Just tell me everything from the beginning." you said softly. He remained silent for several minutes before he took a deep breath and began talking.

"First of all I didn't kill him. Trust me on this please." he begged. You swallowed the lump forming in your throat.

"I need to know the truth." you insisted. He sighed deeply. He looked exhausted.

"As you know now about Rose... me and her..." he trailed off, glancing away from you.

"Yeah, I know." you muttered. He looked at you before continuing. He looked nervous for some reason. The rest of the crew watched the two of you carefully, waiting to hear what he had to say.

"And you know she's an..." he stopped himself. You nodded encouragingly.

"An assassin." you finished. He hesitated before nodding silently.

"Then you should know that she is also a bit... a psycho." he said slowly. You felt sick. You clenched your fists.

"She did it?" you exclaimed in anger. Dick and Kory gasped. Jason avoided your gaze. He wouldn't look you in the eye either. It was quiet, you stood there shocked, unable to process the events that had just played out before you. "Did she-" you started to repeat in disbelief. Three of them turned towards each other. Dick and Kory shared another glance. Dick shook his head and then looked at Jason. "What happened really?" he asked gently, but sternly. Jason glanced between him and Kory anxiously. He cleared his throat, his shoulders slumped and he seemed to deflate in front of all of you. He opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound nothing else came out.

"It's okay Jay." Kory tried to encourage him. He glanced over at her gratefully before looking back at you, his face pale. He sighed deeply, seemingly weighing his options.

"Are you Red Hood?" you suddenly blurted out. Jason froze, staring back at you incredulously. The whole room held its breath. The silence that followed was deafening. Jason stayed still for a second before shaking his head and answering you. "What gave you that idea?" he mumbled quietly.

"Don't lie to me anymore! You're the Red Hood I know!" you said angrily. You didn't give him a chance to respond. "You're my father's murderer!" Your words cut through the air harshly like knives. Everyone stared at you with wide eyed horror, especially Jason. You glared at him intensely. Jason's lips trembled slightly as if he were fighting against something inside him. You didn't realize it until a tear rolled down his cheek. Your eyes widened in shock as you realized you had made him cry. He quickly wiped away the tear and glared at you, his jaw clenching.

"Why are you crying?" you continued. You were desperate to find out why, and the more upset he was, the angrier you became. The tension grew thicker between you. "Answer me damn it!" you yelled, your voice breaking. Jason closed his eyes briefly before letting out a deep sigh. "Fine!" he shouted back. "You want answers? You'll get them!" he spat back. Your eyebrows furrowed together in confusion.

"What?" you asked. His gaze softened slightly as he met yours.

"I don't know who murdered your dad but I wish I never ever met you." he murmured under his breath. You glared at him, feeling hurt. He raised his eyebrows when he noticed your expression. He scoffed before looking away. Your heart clenched painfully.

"She's playing with you because of me." he breathed. "What?" you questioned confused. He ignored you, looking straight ahead of him instead.

"If I never came to your house and talked to you..." he trailed off. He glanced at you briefly before looking away. You frowned. Your heart broke when you finally figured out what he meant. "Oh..." you whispered softly.

"She thought..." he trailed off again. His gaze moved to meet yours. You waited for him to continue. "...that I am... having f-feelings... for... y'know." he stumbled over his sentence and flushed.

"Wait wait... you all told me how dangerous she was and then now saying she didn't kill..." you paused. They all gave you sympathetic looks. "But if she wasn't involved then..." you trailed off, unsure how to finish the statement. You could tell everyone around you understood where you were going with your question. Jason's lips formed a thin line. You continued "Tell me the truth Jason. Are you Red Hood?"

15 lines of dialogue: Ayden 🐾

1. “Umm okay sure. But, how exactly are you going to convince them to have dinner with us? They never do. They’re either at the office or in the home office or sleeping or— do they even eat? Did they used to eat before you guys adopted me?” He joked as neither of them really liked to talk about their parents or the lack of their presence.

2. “Please? They’re talking about firing me for leaving early everyday and I always get bored during the last half.”

“And that’s my issue… why? Quit leaving early!”

3. For the first time since being in here, Celia had finally laughed. “Ayden, you’ve gotten just a wee bit fruitier since the last time we’ve talked, haven’t you?”

“A little. But it’s growth. Girls weren’t really my thing I guess. What can I say? I’m growing with the times. Unlike you know who.”

“I’m standing right behind you.”

“Oh good, so you know I meant you.” Ayden quipped. He’d gotten much funnier since the last time they’d seen him.

4. “I’m 17. Not a kid. Celia, carry me?” Ayden pouted, giving her puppy dog eyes.

5. “We already know his,” Kori nodded in the direction of Greyson.

“Hard not to when you’ve almost burnt the school down on countless occasions.”

“Yeah and what do you know?”

“Oh I know a lot. Hinote ‘Greyson’ Takahashi. Graduated valedictorian with a 4.5 GPA much to your mother’s dismay. Would have graduated 2 years early had you not been suspended so much. Vandalism, pranks, bullying, so many fire alarms set off by your doing. The fact you might have given someone the clap. I could go on,” Ayden grinned ear to ear with a cheeky smile as if he hadn’t just disclosed Grey’s entire life story to the entire table.

“Please go on. But before you do, remember, I know where your sister lives and subsequently, I know where you live. And no, I didn’t give anyone the damn clap so check your sources on that one.”

“I know. I was the one who spread that rumour. You’re a virgin.”

“That was you?!” Greyson tried to grab Ayden had Summer not pushed him back into his seat.

6. “That’s because you’re money hungry. Ayden, just drop it. Don’t mention anything this weekend. Please?”

“Fine. 30 credits and I won’t say anything today. Just today.”

“I’m not paying my baby brother not to say anything. I live with you, remember? You say anything and I can make life hell.” She had a dark look in her eyes. She’s not joking. She knew all of his fears so the possibilities were endless.

“Okay, when I said 30 credits, I was kiddinggg! Of course, I was kidding. Your secret’s safe with me.”

7. “Any other questions before we leave?”

“What are we supposed to be eating tonight?”

“Ayden.”

“What! This is an important question.

8. “I should probably start breakfast since people are waking up now.”

“Really? Thank God, I’ve been starving since I woke up.”

“You should’ve said something earlier then.”

“Greyson, my priorities will always lie with seeing shirtless men before I ever consider eating. That’s a compliment by the way.”

“Thank you I think?”

9. I would’ve gotten up earlier but.. let’s just say yesterday was a mess.”

“That’s reassuring. So are you done being a moody aloof teenager then?”

Ayden rolled his eyes. “Something like that I guess. I just had some internal stuff going on. It hasn’t completely faded but, I’ve been granted with a gift not even Jesus himself could ignore.”

“Also reassuring.”

“I can’t say anything right now. But keep an ear out,” He slid out of bed and took his bag with him into the bathroom. The water cut on, signifying the beginning of a shower.

10. “Which one is mine?” He asked as he slid into the lone seat beside him.

Ayden gave a confused head cock to the side as one of his eyebrows raised as if it was ridiculous for Greyson to even ask him such a question. “None of them..? I’m eating all of this.. Go grab your own food if you’re hungry.”

“Really? You’re eating all of this? Right now?” Grey asked incredulously as he mentally counted the number of plates sitting on the table.

“Greyson, I’m a shapeshifter. My metabolism is 9 times faster than yours. I’m going to eat all this and still be hungry in an hour. Go, before the line gets any longer,” Ayden nodded off towards the breakfast line that had twice as many people now than when he sat down.

“Fine. Nice to know this is how I’m repaid after cooking you breakfast, lunch, and dinner for an entire weekend like a servant.”

“It’s tough being on the other side of things, isn’t it?” He asked as he chewed through a mouth full of eggs.

11. “She’s like a girl version of Ayden,” Celia said.

“What is that supposed to mean?!” Ayden exclaimed.

“Which part are you confused by?”

“I’m not confused, I’m offended you guys think I’m a brat.”

Greyson gave a scoffed laugh. “You’re kidding, right?”

“What was that huffing fit you were having for like two, three days?” Kori asked, finding that statement laughable even without outside context.

“I was coping with my losses.”

12. Greyson looked back for himself and closed the door behind him. “You wanna take a walk with me?” There was a quick whipping sound coming from behind him, an excited tail now attached. “That looks like a yes.”

“Don’t be demeaning, Greyson.”

“So you don’t wanna take a walk then?”

“..No I do.”

Grey laughed and ruffled the top of his head. “Cool then get your shoes on, I’ll meet you outside.”

13. Ayden had heard enough. He walked up to Celia’s side, breaking through the men that surrounded her. “Watch your mouth when you’re talking to her. Her spit is worth more than your entire existence.”

14. A: It wouldn’t surprise me. Bow was a major sl— Ayden deleted the message he was about to send.

15. “Don’t tell me you’re tired already. Tap into that animalistic spirit.”

“I don’t know what that means!” Ayden huffed, joining them finally. He took a moment to heave, his lungs already pushed to their limit. “How can you expect me to run with no meal?”

“Do you know what I have for breakfast in the early morning?”

“Don’t tell me—“

“My breakfast is the adrenaline of life. Chasing after the rush. It always fills my hunger.”

“Yeah well, ‘adrenaline’ isn’t a substantial food item that can be chewed and swallowed.”

[titans-thoughts]

Pre-Crisis, Dick really didn't give a damn about his secret identity.

Post-Crisis, he actually kind of does? So much so that he wore a blond wig and fake mustache when seeing Kory in public. But she was also dating Nightwing, who this guy obviously wasn't. Then the tabloids caught him in civilian clothes without the disguise, so they think Kory's dating three guys at once when it's all the same guy, and no, batstans (derogatory), this does not give you an excuse to call her a slut.

Also, it's canon that he's an alternate for Green Lantern if Hal dies. And at least in his Nightwing guise, he knows all kinds of H'San Natall hybrids. So how many aliens does Dick know? 👽

How public was the knowledge that Dick Grayson (not Nightwing) and Starfire dated? I remember seeing some panels with them meeting in public (somewhere at the airport?) but I'm actually not sure. Because now I remembered this:

It would be so funny if Dick, in his civillian life, got a reputation that he somehow knows all sorts of aliens. Someone spotting him talking to Superman (Clark) while out of Nightwing costume? Maybe someone saw him discussing something with Martian Manhunter? Figures, that Grayson kid got himself another one.

Fic Excerpt "The Carriage Held But Just Ourselves" (Jason/Dick)

"Trouble in paradise?" Jason asked. 

Dick took a sip of his lukewarm drink. "We don't…work. In some ways."

Jason raised an eyebrow at that. "What ways?"

Dick huffed. "Kinda personal," he said.

"Ah. Trouble in the bedroom ." 

Dick stalled his answer by taking another sip of his beer. Jason waited patiently and Dick was starting to feel even looser, so what was the harm in answering? His inhibitions were drifting up and away like helium balloons. 

"Bedroom trouble," he said. "She says she doesn't have any complaints. But I…do. Have complaints."

"Woman like that? What's to complain about?" Jason said, looking skeptical. 

Dick sighed and slouched on the table. "I know I sound like a jerk. You're right: she's great. Beautiful, brave, smart. She's a dream girl."

"But?"

"But she's got a weird idea about faithfulness."

Jason looked surprised enough that Dick wanted to laugh. He held his hands out, pleading for understanding or asking for forgiveness for gossiping about a teammate. Both. Who knew? The alcohol was doing a lot of heavy lifting. 

Jason ruffled his gray streak, then pushed it off his face. It was still wet enough that it stayed slicked back, a sleek look that made him look like a hawk. "It couldn't be such a surprise. She's pretty chatty about stuff like that. Her people don't do monogamy, right? Thought you'd be…accepting of other cultures and customs or whatever," he said.

"I'm plenty accepting," Dick said. He thought, then added, "Or I was. Not feeling like being so accepting anymore. I want someone to…bend for me. Does that make sense? Someone to make a sacrifice for me. Give up something for me."

When Jason said nothing, Dick let out a long, slow breath, like releasing pressure from a valve. "I know I sound selfish," he said. 

Jason lifted one shoulder carelessly. "Nah. You don't sound selfish. You sound like a guy who knows what he wants." 

"I do," Dick said. His tongue was just starting to feel clumsy. "Or I did."

"And now?"

"Now I'm just fucking horny," Dick said and laughed at himself. He laughed harder when Jason let out a surprised bark of laughter, too. 

"Damn," Jason said, shaking his head. "How long has it been, man?"

"Like three weeks. Wait, maybe four. See? I'm losing my mind here."

"Oh, poor you," Jason said and rubbed his eyes. He was looking a little loose himself, the beer making his features go soft. 

"I'm not used to sleeping alone, to be honest," Dick said. 

"I can believe it. You've got a reputation."

"Do I?" Dick said, still chuckling. "Huh. I guess I do."

Jason said, "A real heartbreaker, right?" and pulled a face. 

"Well this heartbreaker is this close to watching porn and jerking off. I never usually have to," he said. His tone was matter-of-fact, and only a little self-pitying, he decided. He held his thumb and pointer finger an inch apart to show how close he was to the unthinkable. 

"This is serious. This is end of the world talk," Jason said. He seemed to be enjoying playing along with Dick's joking, pity party moment.

Dick hiccuped and laughed again. "We're all doomed."

"All because you're randy."

"Yep: all because I broke up with Kory, and now I'm randy."

Jason leaned forward and he didn't look so soft and drunk now. In fact, the hawk look was more intense than before. "Well, I can fuck you better than she can, anyway," he said.

Dick stopped laughing. He went very still. Jason was watching him, green eyes dark and sharp. They regarded each other in silence. Thunder rumbled in the distance and the wind whistled through the alleys below. 

"Don't joke like that," Dick said at last.

"I'm not joking," Jason said. He put his beer down, tossed the ducky towel to the ground, and peeled his jacket off. He folded it loosely and placed it by his hip. His damp t-shirt clung to his body, a second skin showing off the lines of his muscles, the shape of his powerful physique. He licked his lips slowly, then his eyes traveled up Dick's body before locking with Dick's. "What makes you think I'm joking?"

Chapter 82: Deadhead, Pt 2

Emma and Ruby sped down the highway, as Killian directed them on the information he had received.

"We got a hit on the RV plates. They were spotted southbound on the highway…" Killian said.

"I love it when things line up like that. We are going northbound," Emma said.

"Thanks, Killian," she said.

"Actually, that's Lieutenant Killian," he joked.

"Yes, sir. Over and out," Emma said, as Ruby gave her a look and she shook her head.

"No. Uh-uh. Do not look at me like that," she said.

"I'm just enjoying things being back to normal. I didn't say anything. I was just appreciating some casual banter between two people who used to be engaged to be married," Ruby teased. Emma rolled her eyes and spotted an RV about to pass them.

"There. That might be them," Emma said, as she saw Jace in the window.

"Gotcha!" she said, as she had to swerve when the RV tried to shove them off the road. The brakes screeched, as she managed to turn them around.

"Look out!" Ruby called, as she swerved to avoid more oncoming traffic.

"You okay?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you?" Ruby asked. She nodded.

~*~

"Come on, Jace. This is insane," Kory reasoned.

"Yeah. Yeah, it is insane. We fell through the ice and made it out alive. It was winter when we went in the lake and spring when we came out. We should be dead now. I think we were dead. And we came back to life or something," Jace said.

"Like that plane," Pete replied.

"Like that damn cop and the kid," Jace said.

"Look, why don't we just stop running?" Pete suggested.

"And give up? What happened to you?" Jace snapped.

"The same thing that happened to you. I mean, this is a miracle and you know it. And I don't think that we should be beating people up and firebombing the cops," Pete said.

"I don't give a rat's ass about any of those people," Jace growled.

"You used to be the guy that took care of everyone. You remember when you spent all the money from your after-school job to pay for the high-tops for me and Kory? We had

the best kicks on the block," Pete recalled. Jace smirked.

"I hadn't thought about that job in years," he mentioned.

"Hey, maybe that's why we came back. To do things differently," Pete said.

"Maybe you're right," Jace said.

"Hey, Kory, pull over, man. I'm gonna drive," he said, with an evil glint in his eyes.

David approached Vance's partner at the Travel Agency front and he looked surprised to see him.

"What the hell? We're supposed to have no contact for three weeks," the man said.

"Yeah, well, and Vance was supposed to come home with us," David said.

"Now, look, I've put together everything I can remember. If we fly back into here, I think…" David continued, but the other man cut him off.

"Cuba? You're not serious," he said.

"About saving Vance's life? Dead serious," David replied.

"Nolan…you're a math professor. I spent my life in military intelligence, and I can assure you, we ain't getting him out on our own no matter how many maps you draw," he said sternly.

"Well, I'm not gonna just give up on him," David argued.

"Yeah, you are. 'Cause we don't have the resources, and Vance doesn't want to involve the government. It's a direct order," he said.

"Yeah, they're already sniffing around. I had a house call this morning. And, no, of course I didn't say anything. There's got to be another way," David replied.

"If there is, he'll figure it out. You need to stand down," he said.

"So, how does this work? How do I take this ring to Vance's wife and tell her that he's not coming home and that I'm standing down?" David asked.

"I don't know. I'm just glad he asked you to do it, not me," he replied.

~*~

Olive parked at the school and they began to trek onto the campus. Angelina felt the memories

"There. That's it. Those wings...those are peacock feathers," Angelina said, as she pointed at the stained glass window on the building.

"We're definitely supposed to be here," Olive agreed.

"This is...what's been following me. Last time, it was holding up its hand, the one that's holding the scales," Angelina said.

"Do scales mean anything to you?" Olive asked. But she shook her head.

"Not really. I mean, Archangel Michael uses them to weigh your soul on Judgment Day to see if you're worthy," Angelina mentioned.

"Okay, so the figure in your calling, right, it doesn't have a face?" Olive questioned.

"Neither does the archangel," she mentioned, as she motioned to the faceless angel, which was actually due to a broken piece in the window itself.

"I was here when that happened. My class made time capsules, and when we were choosing where we each wanted to bury them, some kids were messing around and a rock

sailed right into the window," she added.

"You buried a time capsule right around here?" Olive asked. She nodded.

"I know exactly where mine would be, but there's not much in that box," Angelina replied.

"Okay, the callings, they led us here, right? And the figure was faceless. So it means they wanted you to remember that day. I think the calling is leading us to the box," Olive

said. Angelina walked a few paces ahead and then pointed to the ground.

"Right here," she said.

When Leopold answered the door to his new home, the last person he expected to see was his daughter and two of his grandchildren.

"Margaret…you're here…" he uttered.

"David and the girls will be following…it's a long story, but I can explain everything. We just need a place to lay low for a while. Henry could be in danger," she said. He

nodded.

"Of course…does this have anything to do with the plane?" Leopold asked.

"In a way…but it's more than that and everything I'm about to tell you is going to make you question my sanity," Margaret replied.

"No…the whole world saw that plane come back. I believe we are beyond any of that now," Leopold said, as she sat down with the baby and started to explain everything.

~*~

"That held up pretty well, considering. Let's see what's inside, though," Olive said, as Angelina opened her box once they had dug it up. She held a keychain and smiled.

"This is from our first trip to Costa Rica," she recalled.

"Oh, my God," she exclaimed, as she picked up a photo.

"King Kone. They used to take me there on special occasions," she said, referring to the ice cream shop in the background.

"Your parents?" Olive asked. She nodded.

"They were almost normal then. I had no idea what they'd do to me one day. How they'd…" she said, as she trailed off. Olive put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a

sympathetic gaze.

"You know, I keep trying to find the right thing to say...to tell you how sorry I am for...all that you've been through. But the only thing I can think of is, "That sucks." Olive

said. Angelina smiled and laughed a little.

"It does. It does suck. It's hard to believe I was ever happy, but this picture is proof. I was," she replied. Olive smiled.

"Maybe the calling wanted you to have that photo...to remind you what it was like to be happy," Olive suggested.

"It's going to take more than a picture of a slushie," Angelina said.

"What about tasting one?" Olive suggested. She smiled.

"I just want to get rid of these visions. If a slushie will help, I'll have 12 of them," Angelina joked, as they headed for Olive's car.

~*~

David had arrived at Vance's house and received a welcome from his wife, Estelle and they proceeded to talk.

"Do the boys know that he's been in hiding this whole time?" David asked, referring to Vance's sons.

"Yeah. Only thing that's kept me sane is knowing that one day I'll be able to tell them that he's finally coming home. I suspect that day is not today," Estelle replied.

"Estelle, we were ambushed by the Cuban military. He's not coming home any time soon. I am so sorry," David said.

"No. No, he told me that, after this, he'd be done," she replied, with a sharp tone.

"Estelle, I hate that you and your family are going through this, especially since I was the one that dragged him to Cuba," David apologized.

"You're the one who dragged him into all of this. It's your fault that the world has to think that he's dead. And, yes, this is your fault. So if you're looking for absolution... get

him back. Do you hear me? Fix this. I don't care what it takes!" she said angrily.

"Uh, he... asked me to give you this," David said, as he gave her the ring.

"I swore that I'd never marry a man whose life was shrouded in secrets. Look what he put inside," she said, as David read the inscription.

"You shall know the truth," she said.

"And the truth shall set you free," David finished, realizing that he had heard it somewhere else.

"The truth shall set you free. Would...anyone else know that he used that quote?" he asked.

"Only the people who loved him enough to visit his grave. It's right on his tombstone," she answered.

~*~

"You really think the calling wanted us to get slushies?" Angelina asked, as she sipped at hers.

"Mmm. I have no idea, but, uh, I'm so glad that we did," Olive replied, as she enjoyed hers.

"You know, this might be the most fun I've ever had following a calling. So, thank you," Olive added.

"No, thank you. I needed this," Angelina said.

"Oh, and here comes a brain freeze," Olive replied, as they giggled and continued to enjoy their treat.

~*~

"What are we doing here?" Pete asked, as they arrived at the King Kone ice cream shop.

"You jogged my memory earlier when you mentioned how I used to be, back when I worked here. I'll bet Ron and Julie never bothered to change the combo to the safe in the back," Jace said.

"Hey, Jace. Let's just go, all right? Wouldn't it be better if everyone thought that we were still at the bottom of that lake?" Kory reasoned.

"You saw the looks on those cops' faces. They know we're back," Jace argued.

"Well, then, let's just disappear. I don't know. Go to Canada or whatever," Kory argued back.

"For sure, but first, we got scores to settle. Now, let's go," he ordered.

"We're gonna do a smash-and-grab and peel out in an RV?" Pete asked.

"We might have to improvise," Jace said, as he got out of the RV.

~*~

Emma pressed the call button on the steering wheel, as they raced down the highway.

"State troopers got a tip about three guys getting out of an RV. One had a knife.

They're at a fast food joint called King Kone," Killian said.

"We're driving on a damaged radiator, but we're going as fast as we can" Ruby said, as Emma smashed her foot into the accelerator harder.

"Scratch that, now we're going as fast as we can, slightly faster than we can," Ruby corrected.

~*~

"Think I'm crazy yet?" Margaret asked, as she finished explaining everything. He smirked.

"I'll admit that it's a lot…but I know it's the truth. It's all been very strange since that plane came back," Leopold mentioned.

"It has…but it gave back everything I had lost. I'm sure this is the trade off for that," Margaret said.

"But if you're right about this Death date, these men will be gone again in a few months?" Leopold asked.

"Yes…we're still trying to figure out how the passengers can defeat their death date, but four months is still a long time when there are possible maniacs looking for your son," Margaret replied.

"Well…you are safe here. All of you. I only hope David and the girls will be along soon," he said.

"Me too…" she replied.

~*~

"Go to her. Go to her. Go to her," the voice said in their heads.

"What the hell was that?" Kory asked, as he stumbled a bit.

"You heard that, too?" Pete asked. Jace snarled.

"Go to her," it repeated.

"It's the damn kid that died in the lake," he growled.

"What the hell's "go to her" supposed to mean?" Kory asked.

"It's the cop. She's close," Jace replied.

"Go to her," it repeated.

"That kid's trying to mind control us to turn ourselves in," Jace growled.

"We got to go. Pete, Pete, we gotta go, man," Kory called, as Pete knelt down to pick something up off the ground. It was a photo.

"What are you doing? We gotta go! Get in the RV!" Jace screamed at him.

"This girl...I think I'm supposed to go to her," Pete said.

"What you talking about, man? We gotta go, the cops are coming! Come on, we gotta go!" Kory pleaded, as they heard the sirens closing in.

"The cops are coming!" Jace called, as he saw the car and then sped off, leaving Pete behind.

"Pete! Put your hands up!" Emma demanded, as she brandished her firearm and got out of the car.

"Put your hands up!" Emma said, as he obeyed.

"Hey! Hands on your back," she ordered, as he cooperated.

"Where are the others? Where are they?" Ruby demanded to know, but Pete was silent.

~*~

"The truth shall set you free." Arthur said, as David arrived at Vance's grave.

"About time you figured it out. Been following you all day," he said.

"Estelle said only people who love her husband would come here and remember his epitaph," David said.

"I'm here a lot. It was sorrow at first, losing my friend, my mentor. Then guilt that I wasn't

there to protect him. Then it became something else," Arthur said.

"What?" David asked.

"A nagging feeling that Robert Vance isn't buried in this grave," Arthur replied.

"You're right. He's alive," David revealed.

"Oh, my God. Tell him I want to talk…" Arthur said, but David cut him off.

"I can't. He's being held by the Cuban military," he said.

"What? How did he get himself…" Arthur started to say.

"I'm more concerned with how he's gonna get out. I've gone around and around, I can't figure it out. What if the government could do some kind of...I don't know. Some kind

of prisoner exchange," David said. Arthur raised an eyebrow.

"The prisoner in question faked his own death, operated off the grid for a year-and-a-half, apparently in an embargoed country. Our government will classify him as a spy.

They're not gonna be interested in a prisoner exchange," Arthur replied.

"What if you go back and tell your people that Vance isn't the biggest news in Cuba, that there's something bigger? Much bigger. About 828?" David questioned.

"It would take something like that for me to move the mountains I need to move," Arthur said.

"Okay. But I need you to keep it under wraps. Vance's life is in the balance...and, in a way, so is every passenger's," David said.

"I promise, I'll do everything in my power to keep it a secret. But everyone on the planet is fascinated with 828, so it may not be in my power," Arthur warned.

"So, what is it? A piece of intel?" he asked.

"A piece of 828," David replied.

~*~

"As I said, you have the right to remain silent, but do you want to tell us what you were doing here?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, or where your lunatic brother went?" Ruby asked, but he was silent.

"Nothing? All right, in you go," she said, as she started to put him in the car when the photo fell from his hand.

"Wait, that's my photo," Pete said.

"Actually, it's NYPD's," Ruby replied, as she put it in an evidence bag.

"I'm gonna leave my card with the owner and tell him we're taking off," Emma said.

"Okay," Ruby replied.

"Aunt Emma?" Olive asked and the blonde turned in surprise to see her niece and Angelina there.

"What are you guys doing here? Didn't your dad tell you they're back?" Emma asked in alarm.

"Yeah, but Angelina had a calling," Olive replied.

"What was it?" Emma asked.

"The Archangel Michael holding scales. We dug up this box that she buried, like, a really long time ago," Olive answered. Emma sighed.

"Okay, but what are you doing here?" she asked.

"Oh. We lost something from the box. We're just trying to retrace our steps," Angelina replied.

"What was it?" Emma asked, as Angelina saw the bag in Ruby's hand.

"This," she said.

"No, wait, wait, please. That photo belongs to me," Pete said.

"No, it's mine. I dropped it," Angelina argued.

"How could you have a picture of me?" Pete asked. But she looked confused.

"This is a picture of me. Right there. I was ten years old," Angelina replied.

"In the background. That's my brother Jace working the counter, and that boy staring at the girl with the slushie, staring at you...that's me," Pete said, surprising them all.

"So, this is weird. What's the move?" Ruby asked. Emma sighed. Graham was counting on her going by the book this time.

"We're gonna go by the book. Olive, you need to go home. There are still two of these guys at large. Okay?" she insisted.

"No, I'm sorry. Uh, you can't take that. This is all I have," Angelina insisted.

"I know, but it's evidence. I'm sorry," Ruby replied.

"Aunt Emma, this is a part of a calling. Okay? You just saw what happened. All right? We have to keep it. Dad is gonna wanna see this, and there might be more clues," Olive insisted.

"I can't. I'm sorry. It has to go in the report. I'm sorry. Get home safe," Emma replied.

~*~

Hours Later

"That was a very thorough report you submitted. Nice work, Emma," Graham said, once they arrived back at the station.

"Trying to do the right thing," Emma replied.

"Well, it paid off. Pete Baylor is back in custody, and I'm getting the help of every law enforcement agency in the country to hunt down the other two. In the meantime, you think you can get this back to its original owner? Forensics is done with it, andRuby mentioned it had sentimental value," he said, as he handed her the photo.

"Thank you, Captain," Emma replied.

"Anything else you want to share? I saw that video. Where do you think they were for three months? In that lake?" Graham asked curiously.

"The truth is, Captain, I...I don't know. I have my theories, but I know that you...prefer facts," Emma replied.

"Yeah…let's keep a lid on that video. Good work, Detective," he said.

~*~

"Yeah…we should be able to head up there soon. I think Agent King is going to get him out," David said, as he talked to his wife on the phone.

"That's wonderful…I'll feel better when we're all together again," Margaret said, as he saw breaking news on the television and the words 828. He unmuted the TV.

"David?" she asked.

"Turn on the news," he replied, as she did so and they listened to the report together, both stunned at this turn of events.

"Good evening, folks. Our top story to tell you about now, leaked photos from a driver who was working inside Guantanamo shows what appears to be airplane debris bearing the Montego Air logo. This could be the biggest bombshell yet in the Montego 828 investigation," the reporter on TV said.

"Ready?" Olive said, as she and Angelina were all packed.

"Shh," he chided, as they came to watch the TV with him.

"Discovery is leading to new speculation about the plane and passengers who landed in New York a year-and-a-half ago. If the plane is in pieces in the Caribbean, are there

two planes? And what does that mean about the people on the plane? Who, or some would say what, are the passengers who landed?" the reporter purported.

"The press has the story…" he said, as he heard brakes screeching and commotion outside.

"News vans…we can't go. They'll follow us all the way to your father's house," he said, into the phone.

"Then we'll come home," Margaret said.

"No…we can't risk it. Jace is still out there and I have a feeling he is going to know that Henry is alive," David replied. She knew he was right.

"You need to stay," he insisted.

"But what about you? He could come after you and Emma," she said.

"I know, my love…but I'll keep us safe until we can find a way to get up there without them following us," he said.

"I love you," she said, as he heard her sniff.

"I love you too…I'll call you later," he promised, as they heard someone shout to them through a bullhorn.

"David Nolan! Vicky Smith, local news. Two minutes of your time, please," she called, but he would refuse to answer her call and he hugged Olive gently. They were facing a

whole new slew of uncertainty and danger…

[eristic-kaleidoscope]

Hope Never Learns || Byrne || Trial 5-1

Well, how did it feel? To be the first Chula mod OC out of 7 to make it to the final trial? The he who would never know the significance of that 14% chance that he, himself had created out of the sheer determination of the players to keep him alive and well. Or.... as well as he could be.

He made the trek to the lobby with Kori and Kenshin, and ultimately the trial room, where he made sure to stop by Erik A to give him a quick thanks for earlier, and... well. ATTEMPT to give Jae-min another hug, whether he'd accept it or not. This couldn't be easy on Jae-min, at the very least. Byrne had gotten a front row seat to that suffering earlier on, hadn't he?

Swallowing down his own nervousness, Byrne headed to his trial seat, eyeballing the now-empty podium between himself and Jae-min. He'd disliked being near her up until this point, but now it was just... Upsetting. To have that gap to close to him. Ah.... but it must have been worse to be Akito on the other side of the room, in its own way. Not that he felt Akito deserved the sympathy.

It also seemed that Byrne had changed into his usual fit since the body discovery, as well, compared to the previous button-up.

As Calluna began the proceedings, he decided to do something he more or less never did: begin the discussion. He had his own reasons to clear his throat and step up first to bat, though he'd keep those to himself for the time being.

"So, uh... I can't say I have a good alibi. I woke up at 6 when all that shit was going on, got up and got ready for the day. Kenshin went back to sleep before I left. Uh.... Left for breakfast in the eatery at 7 alone, but... I saw Adrik come in at 7:30, 15 minutes before I left. Spent the rest of my time in the movie theater before the announcement. Nobody saw me in there, was.... trying to make myself scarce."

He shook his head. Not much help he could provide there.

"But uh.... Dunno, what do you think we should talk about first. Erisu? Or the all the other bullshit we found in those rooms? Because hot damn that was.... heavy."

He paused for a moment.

"... Maybe Erisu, to give her the respect she deserved? Like.... about how she was killed. Since.... Dunno, it feels like the only possible weapon here is that velvet fabric stuff, right? There... wasn't a whole lot left behind for her case. Dunno if all of that was.... planned heavily ahead of time."

Byrne scratched his neck and looked down at his feet. It was easier than paying attention the his missing trial neighbor.

[plausible-possible-perhaps]

Gd the "women can be sexy and feminist at the same time!" crowd are so damn annoying-- and you're right, that argument is NEVER applied to male characters. Kory is a beautifully written character, but it's okay to admit that her costume(s) was, in fact, made for the male gaze. (And my gosh, that logic so easily slips into men's anger when female characters are portrayed as anything less than supermodels.)

Her outfit needs to be revealing because she gets energy from the sun, but Superman doesn't (and we all know why). Creators can say they dress her like that because of her culture, but that won't stop them from drawing illogical, oversexualized poses/perspectives and cringe dialogue. A free and confident female character surely needs to express it in a way that male readers can find acceptable or attractive. It's not to say that hot, smart women can't exist in fiction, but yeesh is it best if we give them to artists and writers who won't exploit the character's desirable physical traits to get sales.

In all, I HATE YOU PEOPLE THAT COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SHIT. IT'S A VALID CRITICISM TO AKNOWLEGE WHEN FEMALE CHARACTERS ARE DRAWN STRICTLY TO APPEAL TO MEN. STARFIRE IS NOT CLOSE TO BEING "DEYASSIFIED". GROW TF UP. That's all goodnight ♡

why does nobody ever talk about male characters like this? why isn't it ever detrimental to a male's character to be fully covered? why does nobody every sale male characters can be sexy AND feminist? why doesn't Nightwing's costume have a thong back?
