BATMAN BINGO MASTER POST 2020

1 "I thought you were dead.": I Still See Your Ghost 

Today was just not Dick's day. First he overslept his alarm and was late to work. Amy had been less than impressed at his tardiness... Then He had bungled what should have been an easy take town... But the straw that broke the camel's back was Tim. Dick had forgotten to call Tim. 

2 Friendly fire: Fratricide 

Jason was pissed. No, Jason was enraged. Yeah, he was enraged at the whole mess his family-- if that’s even what they were to each other anymore-- had gotten him in. It was meant to be a simple night. Break in. Torch the drugs. Maybe shoot a couple of people and go home. But no, Batman heard about his plans and decided that arson was too extreme. “Someone could get hurt.” Well someone had gotten hurt, a lot of someones. 

3 Hypothermia: Weekend Commute 

Dick Grayson makes his way home during the first snow fall of the year, when he finds himself confused and cold, miles from home.

Chapter two Bruce's perspective.

4 Superman: Bringer of the Dawn

The Aftermath of when the Joker shoots Dick.

or

Where do you go when your family tells you to get out?

5 Shot: The Gratitude Trap

Bruce finds himself in the dark, a place he never thought he would be when it came to Clark Kent and Dick Grayson. Yet here he is digging for answers, because he is too scared to pick up the phone and call. 

6 Two-face: The Better Choice 

How do you reconcile the man who was once your friend with the monster he has become? Bruce reflects on how the man he once called his best friend changed. How could the man who helped him foster Dick, hold that baseball bat? 

7 Drowning: Omori’s Law

Deep in the sewer's under Gotham, Batman is trapped. There is no back up, no Robin. He is faced with the single truth that he tried to teach each of his partners... You have to save yourself. 

  8 Found Family: A Restoration from a Resilient Heart

Dick just wants to not be alone with the shadows in the house. Bruce doesn't realize he has lived with them for far to long, and maybe he doesn't have to anymore.

9 Adoption: The Irrefutable Truth

When he reached the reception, he found himself looking around a fairly empty room. There were a few call girls in the corner filling out forms, an older woman holding a dog, a kid that looked about twelve and a middle aged man who looked like he was ready to cry. He knew no one. Dick was about to turn around and head back to his desk when the on duty officer called out to him. Officer O’Conner was one of his fellow rookies, he had a thick accent. Dick thought he might be from Louisiana. “Grayson! Why didn’t you say your brother was coming to see you?” Dick looked at him with his mouth slightly open. There was no way he heard that right. “My what?” 

10 Bruises: Mr. Wayne

Tim is new to this. He's only been Robin for a little over six months. It was going well. But now he was going to be fired. Batman wouldn't want a partner who got caught at school with a black eye. Would he?

11 Bruce is dead: You Have One Saved Message 

Gotham gossip columns spread lies and smear good people's names. But yet Damian can't help but think maybe this mornings article was true.  That despite all his claims of being the true son of Bruce Wayne, he was in fact the only unwanted one.

12 CPR: Vital Signs 

Robin wakes to find him and Batman in an exploded factory. With Batman injured and the building burning around them, Dick struggles to get them both to safety.   

13 Dad:  Storge 

Bruce could have sworn his spirit had left him momentarily.  The sudden hollowness that filled him couldn’t be explained in any other way. 

 “Your dad must have his hands full with you.”  Elizabeth Ribbons leaned forward and patted Dick’s shoulder, as he reached for yet another slice of cheesecake from a passing waiter’s tray.  

Bruce fixed his eyes on the ice sculpture that hid him from view.  It suddenly seemed like the most interesting design in the world.  The soft lines of the ice on the otherwise insignificant over sized swan seemed like a lead shield...  Because Dick would read it easily in his expression. He wanted to be Dick’s dad.  But he wasn’t. 

14 Stealing the Batmobile: T-Minus Six Hours

Some days Tim is sure that he’s gonna be killed. Usually it’s some luck shot or near miss that made his life flash before his eyes. Not today though. Today he was positive Bruce was going to kill him. Yes, today was the day that Timothy Jackson Drake was going to be put down. He’s not sure that even Nightwing could save him. He was going to go down in history as the first sidekick to be murdered by their mentor. Because the Batmobile was definitely not where he’d parked it.

15 Wayne Enterprises: Amidst the Absence of Meaning 

Bruce is worried. He's running on less than three hours of sleep, and way too many cups of coffee. He had messed up. That much was obvious. The question was would Dick forgive him?

A gruesome night on patrol bleeds into Bruce's work day and now all he can wonder is if this is the thing that will push Dick over the edge? Had he finally seen to much pain?

16 Ransom: Sum of My Worth

The ring of the phone seemed to echo through the manor’s still too quiet long, winding halls, and everyone present collectively held their breath. Bruce lunged for the phone.   

17 Secret Injury: Hiding in Pain Sight

“What?” Dick asked sharper than he meant to. He was tired.

“Nothing.” Tim said with a small smirk. “Heavy is the head.”

Dick closed his eyes, glad that Tim couldn’t see them. He was so sick of this. Tim, Jason, Damian and Cass all didn’t think he was good enough, well Cass hadn’t said that, but Dick could read her. They didn’t think he was up to the job. Well they didn’t need to tell him that. He knew it.

18 Superboy: An Interlude in Breathing 

Tim looked out over the water in a daze. Bruce and Dick had gone somewhere below deck and he was alone. Well there were strangers on the ship mingling and talking excitedly--but Tim gave them no notice. Instead he watched the water lap up against the hull and crash down back to meet the dark, cold waters. They were far enough out that he could no longer see the shore. It was just endless expenses of sea and sky. Something tickled his neck and he started, only to realize he had been crying. It was only a tear slipping under his collar.

The days after the battle of Infinite Crisis

19 Betrayed: Smother

She took another drag of the cigarette, letting the smoke roll in her lungs for a long moment before allowing it hiss out between her teeth. The screams from the warehouse weren’t completely muffled by the distance, or the walls. Perhaps she was only imagining them. But then, sounds like that, she didn’t think she could dream up. She jumped after a particularly high pitched yelp. “Get a grip.” She dropped the cigarette and pulled out another. Her hand shook as she lit it. “It’s just some random kid. He’s not--” She bit back a sob. She didn’t deserve to cry. She had no right to tears, not when it was her fault.   

20 Crowbar: Breaklights

The mail fell to the ground and the paper smacked the tiles hard.  The sound in reality couldn’t have been all that loud, but it seemed to echo around the entryway.  Bruce didn’t look at the dropped bills and the invitation to a fundraiser for the new Gotham women’s shelter.  He was too fixated on the small stamp with the queen of England's head on it.  Wolverhampton.  

The large envelope was far heavier then it should have been.  Bruce could feel bile crawling up his throat.  

He had forgotten.

21 Deathstroke: Debts and Dues

There were some things that were never pleasant, getting caught in the snow without socks, losing your keys, and not being able to remember the name of a song. Having a gun pointed at your chest, Dick felt, qualified as extremely unpleasant. He stood stock still. The barrel of the gun was still hot, it burned slightly as it dug into his sternum. Even with his uniform he could still feel the heat left over from previous rounds fired. He didn’t flinch. He couldn’t flinch. “Move.” “You know I can’t.” Dick wondered if Slade had the guts to do it.   

22 Mission Gone Wrong: Murmur in the Quiet Hours

Superman? Clark froze. He knew that voice. But-- he had never heard it sounding so sad. Was that-- no. Clark dove for his phone, still on the counter from when he got home last night. The screen was black. Dead. Clark swore and dropped it. He was in his coat and shoes before it hit the counter top.   

23 Kidnapped:  Chum 

Dick trumped through the leaves, stopping his feet roughly. He relished the sound of the crunch beneath his shoes as he tread on the brown, dead leaves before him. He felt rather justified in his satisfaction. After all the world had taken so much from him, why wouldn’t he do his best to crush it in return. The woods were cool and as he went deeper into them they grew darker. The sun had long set, and the sky was quickly vanishing as the trees grew thicker. Wayne Manor was far behind him. He was never going back. He hated those pristine walls, those old floor boards. He hated the quiet. He hated the stuffy furniture and the rules and the vases and pictures. He hated his new guardian and that… that… Dick couldn’t remember what Alfred was called, but he hated it. The bag on his back felt heavy. It had everything Dick owned in it. Well and a toothbrush that Alfred had given him. But he didn’t think that was really stealing. 

24 Riddler: Seeking Silence on Shortwaves

Normally Dick would be happy to listen to Tim talk. In fact, Dick thought it was one of his favorite sounds in the world. Tim rarely allowed himself to be excited about things. Hearing him speak so freely and openly to Bruce and him about his plans was refreshing. Dick only wished it wouldn’t be at the cost of his life.

Batman hadn't always been so strict about talking unnecessarily over comms. When it was just two of them it hadn't mattered, their walkie talkie system had always worked. But now that Nightwing and Robin were in Gotham, it seems insane that they never realized: if only one person can talk over the radio at a time... how could they call for help?

25 Mr. Freeze: Glimpsing the Sun While Trapped in the Rime

He almost called Bruce between his fourth and fifth class. He pulled his phone out, leaning against his locker, and half dialed his number when a warm hand fell on his shoulder. “Hey.” Dick spun around and blinked back black spots as his body protested the sudden movement. A blaze of red hair filled his vision and Dick felt a small fire build in his chest. His face split into a wide smile.

After a run in with Mr. Freeze Dick finds himself feeling odd at school, but he can't go home, not when Barbara's asked him to drive her to Betty's party after school.

Shadamy Swordland | Ch 2 | Sacred Arts

“I’m going to remove my hand from your mouth on the count of three, but you’re not to make a sound! We wouldn’t want to draw any attention to us, now do we, lass?”” The stranger now held a dagger dangerously close to her throat. Amy felt the cold steel against her skin and didn’t dare exhale too deep, terrified it’d cut into her flesh. Unable to nod in agreement, she could only widen her eyes in good hopes the other understood. “One… Two… Three.” She felt the gloved fingers slide away from her now dry mouth. Automatically she gasped and panicked, the sharp lines of the dagger pressing into her throat with every shallow breath. “Good girl. Now, let’s have a chat.” The other said, stepping in to face her, still holding the dagger in place. Amy looked up in astonishment to a creature with a sensual vibe over her. Their manner of speech aligned with the smug grin on her face. She wore a dark coat with fabric that seemed to hug her body in a way that barely left anything to the imagination, her sharp shaped wings the only thing uncurved about her physique. How could she have missed her when she scanned the place? “Then talk!” Amy snarled.

She tried to keep her voice down. The woman pulled back the hood of her coat onto her shoulders, revealing her white skin and big ears. Her lips were full and her two sharp canine tooths drew Amy’s attention.

“Why so rushy? Oh, that’s right! You have to get back to your dorm in time so they won’t notice you’re gone. Imagine all the rumours you’d cause!”

“If you’re so worried about my reputation, you could let me go, you know?”

The bat suppressed her tendency to mockingly laugh in her face and shifted the dagger to her slightly press into Amy’s muzzle.

“You’re too naïve. Ah, where are my manners?! I haven’t introduced myself to you yet.”

“I’ve been wondering about your manners as well.” Amy angrily hissed at her.

“You don’t want to go down that road with me, dear.” Her voice turned dark and serious. “On the topic of manners: it is wildly indecent that a member from a low-rank family such as yourself is in a romantic relationship with a high-ranked knight, who happens to be your trainer as well.”

A cocktail of frustration, fear and disgust roared inside her, sending tremors to her limbs. If she weren’t tied up, she’d teach this woman a lesson.

“…And quite a passionate one I must say.” The bat lowered her eyelids and locked eyes with her, clearly trying to get under her skin. Amy felt her cheeks redden in both embarrassment and anger, feeling exposed and violated by how much this stranger knew about her and Shadow. “H-how much do you know?”

“More than enough to offer you a deal.” “Let’s hear it.” Amy said unwillingly. She added scepticism to the tone in her voice.

“Rouge!”

Shadow rushed in without warning and knocked her over with force, taking both of the females by surprise. He pushed the bat down, one of his hands clenched around her neck, the other pointing out his magnificent sword at her. She struggled to escape his hold and failed, but still managed to cock a smile, unnerving Shadow and Amy.

“So, you’re coming to save the day after all, my lord.” ‘They seem to know each other,’ Amy quietly muttered to herself. “Cut it out!” Shadow yelled angrily. He increased his grip on her. “Are you hurt?” Shadow asked his student. She shook her head at him, never been more relieved to see him. His courtesy towards her sent a rush of adrenaline to her chest. She watched how he confidently moved to master his opponent with his muscular arms. Amy loved how strong and masculine he was, but was suddenly alarmed when she saw this ‘Rouge’-woman seriously struggle to breathe.

“H-hear me out, Shadow!”

“You’re unreliable and corrupt to the core! Give me one reason why I would listen to you!”

A series of coughs and grated voice followed from her almost clenched shut throat in attempt to get him to listen to her. They turned into background sounds when his girlfriend called him to order, afraid he’d push it too far. The grip on her neck reduced at once, grasping both of her wrists instead now. Shadow then lost his balance when she suddenly disappeared underneath him and he tumbled unto the floor. That darn bat with her endless number of spells!

“My, my. It seems you have forgotten how well I know my ways around the sacred arts there, knight.”

Rising to already to lash at her again, he was dumbfounded when he turned around. His girl gasped and let out a high-pitched squeak, seeing how the dagger of the woman lightly scratched her neck. He sighed and lowered his sword. “Put it in the sheathe!” Rouge ordered. Reluctantly he obeyed.

How things could become this ugly in so little time?

“Talk.” He sneered at her, crossing his arms.

“Here’s the deal: you two are going to help me out. I’ve had enough of being an outcast! My clan is on the edge of perishing. There’s not enough food, we’re poor and being used as a doormat, looked down upon and being abused way too long now!”

“How is that our problem?” “I’ll tell you: It became your problem the minute your self-discipline failed you and ya couldn’t keep your hands of this one here.”

Shadow’s eyes narrowed, disgusted by the way she portrayed him, but didn’t bother to go against it. “But of course, that all depends on how determined you are on keeping this a secret, Shadow.”

“That’s dirty! You are just loving this, aren’t you?” “You think you know me so well! I wished I wouldn’t have to do this, but I have no choice. I have to find the gemstone!” “It’s always been about luxury and prestige with you. If you’d ask me, you got what you deserved.” “Well, I am in fact not asking you, so keep your rude opinion to yourself. This isn’t about jewellery! I’m at the point where I can’t even feed my children properly anymore!”

His eyes widened in shock. He didn't know that she had kids now. “If I had simply asked for your assistance, you would’ve for sure rejected my request- that is IF you even were to hear me out in the first place. There’s no other way for me to get what I want but to blackmail you. Am I wrong?” Rouge’s bright blue orbs glistered even more brightly through the tears that filled her eyes. Amy couldn’t help feeling a little sorry for her. “Probably not.” He scratched the squills on his head in discomfort. “There’s someone who can help me and my clan to get out of this horrible situation. I need to bring him the infamous turquoise gemstone for his plans to work and the two of you are going to help me, seeing how you’re able to perform special skills and all…”

Shadow seemed to understand what she was talking about.

“What gemstone?”

“Oh, you haven’t told her? This ought to be even more interesting than I thought.”

“The special skill I performed earlier is only a sacred art spell. It’s no big deal.” Amy stated in confusion.  She did not understand what was so special about it.

“And what do you think is the source of the power allowing you to do so?” “I haven’t given it much thought actually.”

“Well then, I’ll assume you are familiar with the legend of the gemstone that was used by greedy men with a thirst of power to let destruction befall our realm in the past. The one they tell you scary tales about in kindergarten, the one which’s tremendous power is a great taboo and the use of it a violation of the law.”

Amy nodded. “That’s the one.”

“That makes no sense! It’s supposed to be sealed away in a faraway kingdom. There’s no way that could be the source of power providing us the magic of the sacred arts.”

“That’s what they want you to believe.” She pointed in the direction of the academy. “Wherever that blasted stone is located, its’ range of power has an enormous scale. Its’ influence reaches our realm, providing a mysterious power, a power all the sacred arts are based on. In fact, you’re not that different from me, a dark mage.” …

“Especially him. He seems to know his way around spells I can’t even decode, let alone perform.” “Nonsense! Shadow would never use dark magic!” “It is in fact true, Amy.” Shadow heaved a sigh. He grunted and let out a soft curse under his breath, shifting his gaze away from Amy when he saw the painful look on her face. This was not the way he wanted her to find out about this.

“And you didn’t bother to tell me?!”

“I didn’t exactly have the time, now did I? Tonight’s the first time I have ever performed a sacred art spell around you. It’s complicated…”

“I’m listening…” “As much as I’d love to listen to the two of you argue, the sun is about to rise. Once your secret is out, you’ll be useless to me,” Rouge interfered. Shadow and Amy shared a glance, silently admitting they did not have a choice but to help her. He unfolded his arms and held out his hand to the bat.

“Wonderful! We’ll meet again here tonight an hour past curfew. Don’t be late.”

Shadow ignored her, hating to be ordered around by anyone but Amy and long wishing for this nightmare to be over. He walked up to Amy and untied her to rub her sore hands, only shifting his gaze up to hers once. She kept eyeing him in a mad way and he knew that look on her face meant trouble for him. “Now warp her back to her dorm so she’ll be back in time, will ya?” “Just because we’ll be working together does NOT mean you are to interfere in our relationship. Stay out of it!” “Heh!” the bat cocked a self-complacent smile. “Relationship…Who would’ve thought?” She nonchalantly shrugged her shoulders in disbelief and closely walked past them to the ladder, briefly touching Amy’s shoulder. “You’re his weak spot, lass. The only one I could ever find,” Rouge whispered.

The bat spread her wings and flew off into the distance leaving a beaten, chagrined Shadow behind with an upset Amy. Shadows hopes on a calm, peaceful day evaporated like snow on a sunny day when he realized he yet had to spend the day practicing swordfights with her. Reading someone wasn’t one of his qualities, but her offended mood was so evidently present, there was no doubt he misunderstood this time. She brushed off the dust and straw, dressing herself in her cloak. Arms crossed and boldly making him catch her gaze before she left, she made him a wordless promise: she would not go easy on him.

Fire and torments, this is not happening!

Camp Unus Annus: The Author (Part 1)

              The bonfire had finally settled down into a pile of glowing embers at the center of camp when Counselor Amy peered around at the circle of campers. Empty marshmallow bags and chocolate bar wrappers littered the ground, and everyone had smears of marshmallow and chocolate around their mouths. The full moon which had been casting a soothing bluish light over the camp and its inhabitants disappeared behind a thick bank of clouds driven by a sudden chill breeze leaving only the ruddy glow of the fire to light the night. Somewhere out amongst the trees she heard an owl hoot mournfully into the darkness.

              “Hey Mark, did you and Ethan remember to tell the campers why it’s so important for them to always remember their buddy?”

              Counselor Ethan leaned forward to look past Counselor Mark, “Of course we did, Amy,” he mumbled through a mouthful of s’more spraying Mark with graham cracker crumbs in the process. “We went over it on the first day of camp,” he continued, ignoring Mark’s frustrated glare when more crumbs landed on his lap, “We’re not idiots, you know.”

              Mark quickly brushed the crumbs off his white camp uniform before placing a hand on Ethan’s chest and pushing him backwards off the log they were sharing. “Seriously Amy, you were there when we filmed the whole thing about how dangerous it is to be in the wild without a buddy. You had to get in the tent because of that bear, remember?” Mark snorted and rolled his eyes as he turned to Ethan while pointing at Amy with his thumb. “Can you believe she forgot that we went over the buddy system?”

              A muffled thump sounded as Amy smacked Mark over the head with her clipboard. “No, I didn’t forget that stupid video,” she huffed, “and if you’ll remember there wasn’t actually a bear it was just Evan with a branch in his hand.” Noticing that neither Ethan nor Mark were paying attention she grabbed each of them by an ear and pulled them in close, checking on the campers over her shoulder before whispering in their faces, “I’m talking about you know who.”

              Mark took a deep centering breath and Ethan rubbed at his ear as Amy let go of them. Ethan looked at Amy and shrugged unconcernedly then stared at Mark. Mark glanced at Ethan out of the corner of his eye then pushed him backwards off the log again before turning to face Amy with a sigh. “Amy, we talked about this. No one has seen or heard anything about him for years. It’s probably fine.”

              “It’s probably fine. It’s probably fine? It’s probably fine? Really?”

              “Yeah! It’s fine! Probably.”

              “If it’s so fine, why haven’t you put your writing workshop on the schedule yet?”

              “I…”

              “If it’s so fine, why don’t you ever tell stories around the campfire?”

              “I…”

              “If it’s fine, why do you make one of the campers do the Camp Chronicle instead of doing it yourself like you said you would?”

              Mark put a finger to his lips and pointed at the campers with a tilt of his head. Amy turned to look in the direction he’d indicated and caught the concerned looks on some of the campers faces. She looked back at Mark and a mischievous grin quirked the corner of her lips.

              “Amy, don’t.”

              “Hey campers! Who wants to hear Counselor Mark tell a scary story before we hit the sack tonight?”

              As one even the sleepiest amongst the campers began to cheer excitedly at the prospect of a story from Mark. Amy stared pointedly at Mark with a grin on her face as he glared at her.

              “Thank you so much, Amy,” Mark ground out through a strained smile as he stood up.

              “You’re welcome,” Amy replied sweetly, resuming her seat on the log.

              Ethan slid over to fill the gap Mark left on the log next to Amy and leaned toward her conspiratorially. “Are you really sure this is a good idea, Amy?”

              “It’s fine,” she reassured with a wave of her hand. “Probably.”

              Mark took another deep breath and let it out slowly. “I don’t know that you guys really want to hear this story. They say there’s power in a story and that it grows every time someone tells it. So, I’ll leave it up to you to decide whether it’s worth the risk.” He refused to look at the campers’ faces and stared instead into the remains of the bonfire. Before continuing he picked up a big stick and poked at the dying embers, coaxing a few tired flames back to life. Instead of making the clearing brighter the fire seemed only to deepen the shadows surrounding them. Not a single camper moved as they waited for him to continue. “Well, if there are no objections,” he trailed off with a sigh. “Okay,” he stabbed at the fire to punctuate his thought and sparks flew into the air causing a few of the closer campers to jump then laugh at themselves for being frightened.

              “Did you know that a best-selling author used to live not too far from here?” He paused as the campers looked at each other before shaking their heads. “I didn’t expect you to, but I’d be willing to bet you’ve probably read one of his books. Well, a few years back a couple young men came staggering out of the woods near the cabin the author lived at and told the police this crazy story. They said that the author had been using his writing to control them and the world around them. Now one of these young men, Daniel, had told this same story to the authorities before and had been placed in a mental institution as a result but had recently escaped. His friend, Ryan, said that the author had kidnapped him and taken him to his cabin.”

              Somewhere in the woods a branch snapped loudly startling everyone around the campfire. Some of the campers fell over with a yelp then started laughing when they saw how big their neighbor’s eyes had gotten in the darkness. Mark stared out into the darkness trying to pinpoint the source of the sound, unconsciously gripping the fire poking stick tight enough to turn his knuckles white. Amy kicked a rock at his ankle, bringing him back to the moment and nodded reassuringly at him when he turned to look at her.

              “Anyway,” he continued, “the two friends told the police that Daniel had shot the author in the back to protect Ryan who he had been looming over with a baseball bat. They said that when the author was controlling them, they could hear his voice inside their heads like he was narrating their lives and that they were compelled to act accordingly.” Mark paused and looked out at the campers and the firelight reflected in their eyes. “Can you imagine it? One moment you’re living your life and then suddenly an unfamiliar voice invades your thoughts and forces you to play out a scenario beyond your control. Like a puppet with invisible strings guiding your every action and reaction? Being at the mercy of a madman who cares nothing for you, only how your suffering will enhance his work?” With every word he spoke Mark’s face grew darker and his eyes began to take on a haunted feral glow. Some of the campers began to fidget uneasily when his gaze would brush across them. “Can you imagine trying to fight against that kind of mental assault? Fearing what that voice might make you do next? Will it force you to run, fearing for your life, from unseen monsters? What if it decides to turn you into the monster? What would you do? What could you do?”

              “Mark.” Amy leaned forward and tried to get Mark’s attention by swatting at the back of his leg to no avail. “Mark.”

              Mark continued to speak as she tarted moving among the campers, pitching his naturally baritone voice even lower. “The author’s control was far from total. With effort you could go against his wishes, at least for a little while.  But he would always find a way to get what he wanted. He would find ways to make you cooperate. And the longer you could manage to resist, the worse he would make things for you in the long run.”

              Amy tried again to get Mark’s attention by calling his name. “Mark!” This time Mark spun around to face her across the fire. “It’s getting late, why don’t you finish up your story,” she prompted him.

              “Right, the story,” he muttered smoothing his hair back from his eyes as he moved back around the fire to stand in front of the log Amy and Ethan occupied. “The story… Where was I?”

              “The two friends had told the police about shooting the author,” a teal haired camper sitting close to the fire chimed in.

              “Thanks. So, the two friends told the police their story and, naturally, the police went out to the cabin to investigate. They found the room where Ryan had been tied to the chair, the baseball bat, the gun, and a shell casing. But they didn’t find any sign of the author. No blood. No body. No sign that the author had even been there recently. On his desk, they found a piece of paper with just three words written on it, “To be continued.”

Sonic Movie Series Casting

Tags done and 11:24 pm including that first tag deleted three times and put it back and just whatever. Basically I made this and not using the long intro from Deviantart including standing now I'm rambling.

Zac Efron(Neighbors 1 and 2, The Greatest Showman, 17 Again, Baywatch) as Sonic The Hedgehog.

Some thoughts on this I do really like Ryan Reynolds yet I worry because he's been casted for some reason as Detective Pikachu and I've been thinking would they allow that since Pokemon is a Nintendo property and this is Sonic from Sega. Yet I don't know it's not like Marvel and DC where certain actors can't be in each other's franchises or shit like that. Their are other choices and this worrisome idea about age. Yet I think he's perfect and fits the job.

JK Simmons(The Sam Rami Spider-Man Trilogy, Zootopia, Whiplash, Justice League 2017) as Dr. Eggman/Robotnik.

Some thoughts got this idea from a comment on a video and I think it's perfect it's a comment deep within comments on I'll find the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JSQhho0hjRw the name is The Real Delphox 616 checked that three times okay got that.

Collin Dean(Over The Garden Wall, The Loud House) as Miles Tails Prower.

Anna Kendricks(The Pitch Perfect Trilogy, Trolls 2016, The Accountant) as Amy Rose.

John Boyega(Attack The Block, Imperial Dreams, Star Wars The Force Awakens, The Circle, Detroit, Star Wars The Last Jedi, and the upcoming Pacific Rim Uprising) as Grant.

Some thoughts almost left s behind Grant, this character was revealed in the supposed leak of the story a human character. While originally KJ Apa was the casting choice. I've decided to change it to this. Including KJ was up in another casting choice.

Alan Tudyk(Star Wars Rogue One, Moana, I Robot, Frozen) as Orbot.

Liam McIntyre(Gears Of War 4, Spartacus, Pulse) as Knuckles The Echidna.

Scarlett Johanasson(The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Lucy, The Jungle Book, The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Her) as Rouge The Bat.

Some thoughts to be honest this is indeed type casting because the way it is. Yet it's basically perfect and fits and glad that comment on YouTube agrees with me.

Brie Larson(Kong Skull Island, Room, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World) as Madonna.

Again going by the supposed leak story and that comment really mainly it's a casting choice I'm not worried about and I like Brie too as an actress.

Zac Efron as Metal Sonic.

Some thoughts an original casting choice was of Dane Dehann but to make it easier because Metal is basically Sonic in way a more darker version. Including the idea that Metal thinks he's the real Sonic. So it's Zac doing a more kind of disguised by sounds of machine. But basically a darker and serious voice compared to Sonic's actual voice when Metal develops to talk. To become the real Sonic.

Sebastian Stan(The Captain America Trilogy, The Martian) as Shadow The Hedgehog.

Talitha Bateman (Annabelle Creation, Nine Lives) as Maria Robotnik.

Jeremy Irons(The Lion King, Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice, Assassin's Creed 2016, Justice League 2017) Gerald Robotnik.

Ben Affleck(Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice, The Accountant, Justice League 2017) as GUN Commander/Abraham Tower.

Some thoughts well looked on the wiki his name came from the comics. Including other casting ideas were William Hurt and Idris Elba. No offense yet decided to choose Ben Affleck considering in a way the look and him close to maybe his age or....I like Ben Affleck yet I feel my ideas of race bent might bother people and just Been Affleck is perfect okay.

Aulii Cravalho (Moana) as Tikal The Echidna.

Catherine Taber(Star Wars The Clone Wars, The Loud House) as Blaze The Cat.

Some thoughts this was basically a last minute decision as of now. The other choices were Emma Watson and Lili Heinhart but decided to go with Catherine because that Star Wars one and also the idea of The Loud House. Hey at least she's done serious roles. Including she was a casting idea for Amy but decided to go with Blaze so we now have our Blaze in this universe.

Cole Sprouse(Riverdale) as Silver The Hedgehog.

Danny McBride(This Is The End, The Angry Birds Movie) as Vector The Crocodile.

Martin Burke(Sonic OVA) as Classic Sonic.

Some thoughts just yeah honestly it's a personal casting and I do wonder of how his response would be if he was ever approached to even voice Sonic again. Including you can laugh at it if you want.

Jessica DiCicco(The Buzz On Maggie, Adventure Time, The Loud House) as Marine The Raccoon.

Some thoughts can she do a Australian accent in some way. Including almost forgot to mention this before the next casting of a character I wasn't gonna put but might as well since I put Marine. Now remembered this was seriously last minute casting. Might of had thought of her but today I was thinking well might as well go with her she fits.

Nev Scharrel(Despicable Me 3) as Cream The Rabbit.

Chadwick Boseman(Captain America Civil War, 42, Get On Up, and the upcoming Black Panther) as the president.

KJ Apa(Riverdale) as Buddy The Wolf.

Some thoughts yeah this is where KJ is at. Including this prediction if Buddy was ever gonna be introduced in a movie. People making jokes or actually complaining their character isn't canon. Along with the idea how a custom character is gonna work. Including I keep thinking the whole Buddy The Wolf is the canon part. Or Gadget The Wolf or Rookie The Wolf you may go with. Yet what I know no offense the Buddy The Wolf name seems canon.

Adam Driver(What If, Star Wars The Force Awakens, Patterson, Logan Lucky, Star Wars The Last Jedi) as Infinite The Jackal.

Some thoughts this casting choice I had thought of when seeing The Last Jedi a 2nd time and also the jokes and comparison people make of the two characters Kylo Ren and Infinite. It was a surprise Mzimmer made that casting choice of Adam as Infinite. While at first before seeing the cast was trying to imagine it. Yet when thinking about it more makes sense and is perfect.
