Lyla was resourceful that was what surviving M.idway C.ity and finding her dad had taught her. So the wound had been a surprise. "Thanks." She said softly to Alice. "It's merely a graze so at least there's that. Bullet wounds are a bitch." She'd had a couple of them.

Rick didn't particularly like the fact she edged him behind her. "I've had worse." He said. "And been through worse." The Squad and Army had taught him plenty of survival techniques.

A huff from him. He knew she was right, but he didn't like hearing it. "And I can't leave you alone. You think if I come back without you that Alfred won't rip into me?" He asked. Alfred would for sure have something to say. "And what about Lyla? She actually likes you and that says a lot about my kid." Lyla had a bond with some of the Squad, but she also liked Brianna.

Rick listened. "I am aware, but you don't take an asset out of play." Rick said. "So we can argue about this or you and I can take care of business and go home."

Rick gave her a look. "You have got be kidding me right?" He asked. "I can still be of help." He might be a bit beat up, but he could still fight. "Besides I can't just leave you here."

The billion heiress edges him protectively back even as he glanced at her. His annoyance is almost as palpable as the thread of her heartbeat inside her chest. "In your condition?" She skeptically prods. She doesn't have to take her eyes off the target to know that he can scantly move without being in agony.

"Don't be ridiculous." Her oaken orbs turn to him briefly. "I need you safe." Sure. Safe was a relative term when dealing with a pit of vipers. "After Alfred, you are my right hand--" It sounded better than saying she had feelings. Didn't it?

Briefly, she pries her eyes away from the enemy and lets them linger upon Rick. "I was left alone in Ra's Al Gulh's Bhutanese prison with a bunch of League of Shadows mercenaries. This should be far easier." Perhaps, she was over-crediting her skillset.

How To Make Kids Understand World Culture and Diversity? A Guest Post By Lyla Morris

How To Make Kids Understand World Culture and Diversity?

  ‘Why does this man look like that?’ asked your kid (maybe pretty loudly).

  Have you ever got publicly embarrassed with such a question?

  Well, this might be a quite common scenario for all the parents out there, especially those who love to travel. In such a situation, a typical parental reaction could be an attempt to quiet the child and move fast. However, you should do exactly the opposite.

  C’mon! They are children and being ignorant at times is acceptable from them.  They are not yet conditioned to avoid sharing what they think or ask what is intriguing to them. Moreover, it is a proven fact that children become aware of the difference in the way people look and behave faster than adults.

  According to Phyllis A. Katz, a professor at the University of Colorado, studied that babies who are as young as six months of age keep on staring for a significantly longer at pictures of adults who look different than their parents. This research underpins that children are capable of noticing differences in race, ability, family composition and a multitude of other factors much more than you and me.

  Therefore, as a parent, you should culture this attribute in your kid and enlighten them about varied and unique cultural diversities present around the world.

  How can you make it happen?

  Get Your Kid Introduced With A Passport:

Any international travel can’t be done without a passport. So, boost up the chapter of foreign adventure for your kid by creating one first. However, before you begin travelling with them, address the reasons to your child why we should use a passport and how does one look like.

  Next, let your child maintain a small booklet to serve as a passport of his/her own. Its pages should be blank on the inside. Now, when you travel with your kid, ask him/her to draw what he/she observed, use a sticker or paste the country’s flag where your child has visited etc. This way, your kid can stamp the pages of his/her passport as he/she ‘travels’ from country to country. This could be one of the most creative ways to let your kid learn about world cultures.

  Encourage Them To Celebrate Others:

  Children have their books as wonderful resources for developing his or her sense of identity as well as for understanding people who are from different race and religion.

  Thus, make use of them to keep your kids updated. You can visit your book library and start reading copies of The Skin You Live In (depicting acceptance), Same, Same But Different (depicting culture and geography), Where Does God Live (depicting religion), The Family Book (depicting family configurations) etc. to your child. Don’t forget to describe every bit of detail written in such books to keep your kids updated up to the utmost level.

  Shop While Being Culturally Inclined:

  When you travel to a foreign land, make sure you are taking your kids along while shopping. And let such episodes be influenced by the culture of that specific country where you visited.

  Suppose, if you are in Bangkok, you can opt for buying things like religious amulets, pet squirrels etc. which denote that land’s culture. Look for jade or haggle for smart electronics in the markets of Hong Kong. When it comes to Ireland, stick to horse-drawn delivery carts.

  And while you shop for such products, let know your children how your purchase is influenced by the lifestyle and philosophy of the place. Also, you need to ensure that such family shopping sessions are different from the typical ones from malls. You should sit with your kid, learn about the marketplace of each country, read articles, watch videos and so on.

  The more you explore, the better your kid will learn about cultures.

  Cook Authentic Recipes At Home:

  Food is one of the best ways to explore any culture. As different delicacies from different countries will make your kid drool, he/she would be more excited to know about which country it comes from.

  So, try cooking different dishes which you will find in a typical menu of various countries around the world. Ask your kid to accompany you while you are in the kitchen and make the cooking episode and interactive, fun, and informative one. Let him/her know how the dishes (that you are cooking) from different countries relate to the culture of those lands.

  Help Your Kids Find A Penpal:

  Yes! Go back to the old days when technology was not that smart but communications used to be warmer. People used to write letters to their pen pals who belonged to certain foreign lands.

  Let your kids practice this approach and it will definitely act as a hidden yet smart lesson in terms of language, arts and social studies. Look for a penpal in the country about which your kid is inquisitive to know.

  Fortunately, there are many free websites which might help you to match your children with their pen pals from around the world. This pen pal primer can skyrocket your idea of making your kid culturally enhanced.

  Teach A Foreign Language:

    Learning a language which they don’t know is often an interesting feat for kids. If you want your child to explore world cultures, it’s smart to let him/her learn foreign languages.

  This way they will be more interested to know about the country which the specific language belongs to, people who speak the same and so on.

  So, might be just a couple of weekly foreign language classes for your kids and they will be more updated about the world.

  Simple!

  Right?

  Celebrate Foreign Holidays:

  To keep your children updated about different cultures around the world, celebrating holidays of foreign countries is a great trick. For instance, Boxing Day is famous in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. If you are living somewhere in the US, do your bit to celebrate this day with your kids.

  All that you need to do is just think in a smart and creative way and that’s it!  Typically this holiday is all about donating money and charitable donations to people and organizations which/who are needy. What you and your kid can do is pack some canned foods for the local food bank or donate old stuff to any non-profit organization.

  Make sure that you are explaining the significance of any such foreign holiday to your kids while celebrating the same. Thus, he/she will become aware of the culture of that particular country.

  Summing Up:

  What are you waiting for?

  If you want to give your kids a good global cultural exposure, keep the aforementioned tips in your mind. And follow them practically to keep your children learned about the world.

Lyla's arm outstretched the gun not shaking in her grip. "I'm R.ick F.lag's daughter." She said. "You do not want to test me, but if you want to play then let's take a chance."

Personals do not reblog

@goddamnmuses from here

Lyla glanced at him. "Well when you loose everything at three and then have to loose it again it seems like it just wants to be my enemy." She didn't have any powers and wasn't special, but Rick had taught her to defend herself. "But you're not sitting here to listen to me complain." She said with a small shake of her head. "What can I help with?"

GLASS ONION: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (2022) SENTENCE STARTERS| ACCEPTING

A shrug and a small smile. "Hell if I know." She said. "I've been trying to figure it out myself honestly." Lyla said. "I've seen some weird stuff, but it's a mystery."

[legends-and-savages]

A pained noise in the back of her throat. Hands pressing to her side as she bled. "It's nothing." She said. That was maybe a bit of her dad in her tone. "Give me two minutes and I'll be ready."

[legends-and-savages]

She had maybe gone a bit overboard.  She could feel it with all of the blood drying on her.  She wiped the blade off carefully with her hand.  “That’s for my dad asshole.”  She said as she stood.  “Don’t touch me.” She said as someone approached her.  “He deserved it.”

[legends-and-savages]

@petalshot​ liked for a starter with Lyla

Lyla sighed and half turned.  She didn’t often accept outside jobs.  She was a West Point graduate after all, but sometimes you have to do what is necessary.  “You sure this is good?”  She asked.  She had a code, and that was from her dad because of course it was.

[legends-and-savages]

“Just so you know he’s busy with a meeting.”  Lyla said looking up.  “And then you’ll have to wait because he and I are going to the range.”  Her dad had promised it would be an all day thing, but then Waller happened as usual.  “So if you have a message for my dad I can tell him or you can come back later.”

[legends-and-savages]

Open to Rick Flag

Lyla let out a small excited noise as she read the letter in her hand.  She had worked hard in her academics and her ROTC programs to get here.  Was there a tiny part that hoped the Flag last name helped sure, but she wasn’t his biological daughter.

“Dad!” She called as she started running down the hall. “Dad!  Daddy!” The last one she hadn’t called him in years.  Not since she was much younger.  She stopped in front of him.  “I did it.  I got into W.est P.oint.”

[legends-and-savages]

A slight tilt of her head.  “Wow that is sure a terrible plan, and I grew up with Task Force X.”  Lyla said.  “Though considering how often they saved the world not that bad.”

[legends-and-savages]

“You have three seconds to tell me what you want or I pull the trigger.”  Lyla said.  Shooting first wasn’t usually her style, but they had broken in.  So they were a threat.  Dad had told her to take care of threats and so had Aunt Harley.

[legends-and-savages]

Lyla was born Lyla Emilia Velazquez Gonzalez.  She was born and raised in Midway City until she was three.  It was then the whole Incubus thing happened.  She had ended up wondering out in the street after it was done which is how she bumped into Rick Flag.  Who adopted her and she became Lyla Emilia Flag Velazquez.  Lyla was often around the Squad and picked up on calling them Aunt and Uncle, unless Rick is in a relationship with a member of the Squad, Lyla loves her dad.  She doesn’t like when he goes on missions, but understands it.

Following the canon events of The S.uicide S.quad Lyla is devastated upon learning that her father was killed.  Her Aunt Harley took Lyla in and she was raised by Harley and Robert.  Lyla would follow in her dad’s footsteps and end up going to West Point and graduating near the top of her class.  On her eighteenth birthday Harley had told her that Peacemaker was the reason her dad wasn’t around.  So it became kind of her mission to take him out.  Her notoriety in the military caught Amanda’s attention and she herself got recruited to keep Task Force X in line.  Amanda isn’t any the wiser that she’s waiting for her shot at Peacemaker, and she’ll make it look like an accident.

If there are threads that deviate from the canon ending of the new movie.  Rick and Lyla go away for a while.  She’s told much sooner about Rick’s fight with Peacemaker, and while she still doesn’t like him.  She isn’t as driven to take him out.  She is still going to make his life difficult, but less likely to outright get rid of him.

[legends-and-savages]

"Good." Lyla said. A chuckle from her and a nod from her. "Probably. Don't know when they have a mission." But in reality Rick could and probably would just drop by when he wanted. The two had a close relationship after all. "Have to ask you hungry because I can make something when we get there or order takeout."

that would make sense. her dad was army too, she just hadn't had the same experience lyla seemed to have had. she was happy for her having not gone through that. "i feel very welcomed." and she did, she didn't entirely know how to cope with it, but she did feel welcomed. she didn't want to get too into that so she deflected, grinning and saying "so what i'm hearing is, i get to meet your dad."

[legends-and-savages]

"Think it's an army thing." Lyla said. "So in a way your kind of my people." Lyla said. "Granted it was one thing, but my dad didn't have to take me out of the ruins of Midway but he did." Lyla said softly. Had taken her and given her a whole new life. She looked at her. "Well I can't force you, but it's open if you want it. Just know that sometimes my dad and Task Force X stop by sometimes."

"that's really sweet," she didn't know what it was like to have a familiar figure that cared so much about her or others. "really? that's- wow." lyla was being nicer to her than she deserved. she'd done one good thing, something she usually didn't do and she was being offered a place to stay for it. "i will keep that in mind. you're good people, i'm gonna be so real with you here, i'm not really used to this."
