ANOTHER AU!? I know what you're saying... Gwen, you're nuts. But not only are you absolutely right, I think this one might be my most ambitious one yet. As a young nerd, there were two groups. The Marvel fans and the DC fans. And while the rivalry certainly has calmed down a bit, I was almost always torn. So, earlier in the week, I decided to do the one thing that every fanfic writer has tried at least once.
A Marvel/DC crossover.
But unlike the typical realm merger, to put it in Mortal Kombat terms, this is a universe where both properties coexist. For example, picture a group of people walking to a Big Belly Burger while listening to Just the Facts with J. Jonah Jameson. That's just a fraction. I have an ENTIRE starting cast as well.

Casino by the Falls
Character(s): Linh, Jaime
Suggested Music: Rose Hip
               Jaime’s dark blue car pulled into the casino parking lot. As it was a busy Saturday night in Niagara Falls, it only was only natural that the parking lot was near-full. It took him awhile to find a parking spot, but he lucked out when someone pulled out of their spot to leave. He swiped the spot and shut off the car.
               “We’re here. It’s time to put your knowledge and luck to the test.” Jaime said as he stepped out of the car. Linh stepped out from the passenger side, shutting the door and checking the window to inspect herself.
               “How do I look?” Linh asked.
               “I’ve told you four times already: Like a million bucks. Come on, relax a bit, or security’s gonna catch you at the door.”
               “You’re right; I’m just not used to dressing like this.” Linh took a deep breath and exhaled loud. “I’m ready, let’s go.” Jaime offered his arm and Linh took it before they both strolled up to the entrance together.
               “You remember all the rules?” Jaime asked.
               “Yeah, two dice, thirty-six combinations, I got it.” Linh answered.
               “That’s good, but don’t be afraid to play up your inexperience with the game. Apparently, the superstitious players love a female craps virgin. It’s where the term ‘Lady Luck’ comes from.”
               “Ugh, I can already tell this is gonna be a long night.”
               “Don’t worry, I’ll stand in between you and the other gamblers and act as your personal bodyguard for the night.”
               The two reached the entrance as their conversation wrapped up. A modest line of people stood in front of them with two security guards at the front checking people’s I.D.s. The line moved along at a comfortable pace and the pair found themselves at the front of the line.
               “Good evening, sir and ma’am. May I see some I.D., please?” One of the security guards asked. Linh reached for her purse and Jaime reached for his wallet in his pocket and pulled out the forged I.D.s that Linh worked on for the past few weeks. The guard inspected them while the pair did their best to conceal any signs of nervousness. The inspection took five seconds, but to the pair it felt like five minutes. “Okay, here you go. Enjoy your night!” The guard handed back their I.D.s and waved as the pair entered the casino.
As soon as they hit the floor, flashing signs and loud ringing and dinging bombarded them. Loud music blared through the overhead speakers. Rows of slot machines as far as the eyes could see. As Jaime and Linh pressed forward, they found themselves in the table games section of the casino. Many of the tables had all their seats filled and some even had crowds gathered around them.
“Dealer has 10, 13, 16, 23, too many!” One dealer called out from a blackjack table. All the players at her table cheered.
“14, red, even!” Another dealer called out from the roulette table. All but one of the players groaned as he scooped away their chips. The one remaining player was hollering with joy as he had stacked a tower of chips on 14.
“Alright, let’s find the craps table.” Jaime instructed. “It’s an ovular table, with three dealers manning it instead of just one, and a supervisor sitting at the middle overseeing everything. There’s usually a crowd—”
“Found it!” Linh interrupted Jaime and pointed to a well-lit section of the casino floor. What she pointed at fit Jaime’s description of a craps table. She also found a nearby information stand containing pamphlets on how to play the various tables games. She grabbed one called “How to play craps” and reunited with Jaime.
“I thought you said you knew how to play.” Jaime said, looking confused.
“I do. But you said to play up my inexperience.” Linh replied while glancing through the pamphlet.
“Good idea, let’s head on over.” With their arms still linked, the pair made their way to the craps table. They caught the glances at some of the dealers at the blackjack tables, and Linh especially was attracting the attention of other customers passing by. To everyone on the casino floor, the pair looked like a high society couple. Linh, not accustomed to this amount of attention, leaned in closer to Jaime for protection.
“Six, winner six, front line winner! Don’ts and field away, line to pay! Down behind, in behind, comes go to six! Six came easy!” The dealer working the stick, wearing a name tag that read “Dominic” called out the result as the players cheered and high-fived each other. The other two dealers took the losing bets and paid the winning bets, the grabbed the “ON” pucks on the “six” and flipped them to “OFF”.
“Just wait and watch until the shooter changes.” Jaime whispered. Linh nodded and the pair approached the craps table. Just like everywhere else, Linh had heads turning at the table. The pamphlet still in her hand gave her away immediately as a “craps virgin” and the players took a liking to her right away. Jaime stepped in between her and other gamblers, which earned him a lot of dirty looks.
“Dice out, hands high!” Dominic called out as he shipped the dicer to the shooter, who just happened to be standing next to Jaime. He picked up the dice in one hand and tossed them down to the end of the table. They hit the back wall of the table and showed a four and six.
“Ten, easy ten, field roll ten, mark the ten, down behind the ten!” Dominic retrieved the dice as the other two dealers marked the “10” with their pucks flipped to “ON”. It was then that the craps players started tossing chips and shouting orders.
“162 across!”
“All the hardways!”
“Twenty dollar horn!”
Dominic and the dealers, their name tags reading “Jennifer” and “Amber”, shuffled and slid all the oncoming chips to their correct betting positions, with the supervisor even helping here and there. Once the commotion died down, Dominic shipped the dice to the shooter. “Dice out, hands high!” The shooter once again grabbed the dice and tossed them down the table. This time, they showed a one and six.
“Seven out seven. DC, line, and field away. Don’ts to pay. Last come, get some, pay behind.” The players at the table grumbled as Dominic made his call. The dealers collected all the losing betters and switched the pucks “OFF”.
“Alright, we can buy in now.” Jaime pulled out his wallet and Linh reached for her purse. Both of them pulled out five one hundred dollar bills each and set them down in the “COME” area. “Four hundred in greens and the rest in reds, please.”
“Me too, please.” Linh chimed in.
Jennifer smiled and nodded. “Money coming in!” She shouted before laying out Jaime’s money first in a diagonal line, making it easy for her supervisor and the cameras to see it. With both hands, she brought out a stack of green chips and a full stack of red chips and broke them down into smaller stacks. “Money change five hundred for the gentleman in the pinstripe suit.” The supervisor verified the amount and nodded her head. Jennifer shipped the chips and repeated the process with Linh’s money. “Money coming in!” Another stack of green and red broken down. “Money change five hundred for the lady in the green evening gown.” Another approval by the supervisor before sending the chips to Linh. The other players already had their bets set. Jaime and Linh each placed 2 red chips on “Don’t Pass” with Linh still reading through the pamphlet. This single action made the other players mutter under their breath.
“Great, a couple of dark side players.”
“That’s the last thing we need.”
“I’m taking down my bets.”
Jaime ignored the comments and waited for Dominic to ship five dice to him. Once he did, Jaime picked two up and tossed them down the table as Dominic pulled back and locked up the other three. The two dice landed showing one and two.
“Three craps three! Line away, don’ts and field to pay!” The dirty glares intensified from the other players as Jennifer and Amber took their losing wagers and paid Jaime and Linh their winning wagers. The pair picked up their winnings and waited for the others to place their bets. Once preparations finished, Dominic shipped the dice to Jaime again. Jaime threw them again. Both dice landed and showed five and five. Linh kept reading and ignoring the action.
“Ten, hard ten, field roll ten! Mark the ten, down behind the ten!” Dominic retrieved the dice and brought them to the center while Jennifer and Amber marked the “10”. Again, the other craps players began setting up their place bets and hardway bets. Jaime and Linh just placed odds beside their “Don’t Pass” bets and each placed another 2 red chips in the “Don’t Come” box.
“Dice out, hands high!” Dominic shipped the dice to Jaime once again. The dice flew. Two and Two.
“Four, hard four, field roll four! Down behind, in behind, comes go to four!” Some of the players cheered as their hardway four bet just won. They parlayed their bets without a second thought while Jaime and Linh each put down four green chips quietly.
“Odds on our ‘Don’t Come’ bets, please.” Linh whispered. Jennifer nodded and swiped their chips to lay them behind their DC bet behind the “4”. It was time to throw the dice again. Dominic shipped them to Jaime. Through the air they flew. Three and four.
“Seven out seven. DC, line, and field away. Don’ts to pay. Last come, get some, pay behind.” A collective groan came from the craps players as, once again, they lost all their parlayed bets. Only Jaime and Linh came out the winners on this roll.
“Fifty odds and ten flat, two in a row.” Jennifer announced as she paid the pair’s “Don’t Pass” bets. She then moved on to their “Don’t Come” bets behind the “4”. She set them up fast and turned to the supervisor. “DC check!”
The supervisor glanced over for a second and nodded. “Send it.” Jennifer shipped the winning “Don’t Come” bets to Jaime and Linh who thanked her kindly before snatching up their winnings. Jaime’s roll was over and now it was Linh’s turn to roll. She was about to put another bet on “Don’t Pass” when the other players interrupted her.
“Come on, miss, you don’t want to play against the rest of the table, do you?”
“We can tell it’s your first time playing craps. Put down the pamphlet and we’ll show you how to play the right way.”
“You don’t need to copy what the guy beside you; He doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
Linh had to fight the urge to punch these fools right there. Instead, she put on her best smile and said “I’m not going to team up with guys who get one hard and blow their load after a single out.” Had the dealers and supervisor not covered their mouths in that instant, they would have erupted in laughter. The craps players went red with both embarrassment and anger. Linh set her “Don’t Pass” bet and Dominic shipped five dice to her while still snickering. She picked two and waited for Dominic to pull back the remaining three before tossing the dice. One and four.
“Five fever five, no field five! Mark the five, down behind the five!” The dealers repeated the motions of retrieving the dice to the center and marking the “5” with the “ON” pucks. The players tossed their chips and set their bets. Jaime and Linh were about to do the same when a waitress walked by the craps table.
“Anything to drink?” She asked.
“A glass of champagne for me and the lady shooter here.” Jaime answered.
“You got it, sir!” As the waitress left, the players told the dealers to turn their bets off. It was just one of the many superstitions they held that a seven out was coming. Jaime and Linh laid their odds and set up their “Don’t Come” bets as before. Dominic shipped the dice to Linh once more. She picked them up and tossed them. Three and three.
“Six, hard six, no field six! Down behind, in behind, comes go to six!” The craps players cursed out loud since they turned off their hardway six bets and therefore won nothing. Jaime and Linh gave each other a high five under the table. Just as players were about to turn their bets back on, another dealer walked up behind Dominic and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Hey Brad, the shooter is the lady in the green dress over there.” Dominic said before leaving his position and heading toward Jennifer’s spot.
“Ah, so Lady Luck has finally shown up on this table.” Brad replied as he flashed a welcoming smile.
“Brad, no flirting with the patrons.” The supervisor admonished Brad. Brad gave a quick bow as an apology. Dominic tapped off Jennifer and Jennifer tapped off Amber for her to go on break. Since the dealers just changed, the players changed their minds about turning their bets back on. Jaime and Linh passed off their chips to Dominic to lay odds on their “Don’t Come” bets as usual. Brad shipped the dice when he saw everyone was ready. Linh picked them up and let them fly. Two and two.
“Four, hard four, field roll four! Down behind, in behind, comes go to four!” Another hardway, another missed opportunity for the rest of the players. Once again, they were about to turn their bets back on when the waitress arrived again, this time with the champagne glasses that Jaime ordered. Jaime paid the waitress with a green chip as she passed their drinks to him and Linh.
Linh leaned back and chugged the champagne in one go, then stood back straight before placing her glass back on the tray and smiling at the waitress. “Another one, please.” The waitress nodded and left. The other players kept their bets off. The pair again laid their odds and Linh was ready to shoot again. Brad shipped the dice and Linh threw them just as fast. Four and four.
“Eight, hard eight, no field eight! Down behind, in behind, comes go to eight!” Linh had just managed to roll three hardways in a row and nobody on the table won money off of it because of their superstitions. They got fed up and turned all their bets back on. Jaime and Linh shook their heads as they laid odds on their third “Don’t Come” bets. Were they expecting that Linh would roll the fourth and final hardway? Total nonsense.  Brad shipped the dice to Linh and she whipped them across the table, knocking over some of the other players’ bets before the dice landed five and two.
“Seven out seven. DC, line, and field away. Don’ts to pay. Last come, get some, pay behind.” The craps players lost their minds as all their bets were scooped up. Jaime took a drink of his champagne as Linh gave him a loud high-five for everyone to see. Their “Don’t Pass” and “Don’t Come” bets paid out in spades. Linh’s roll was over but she and Jaime came out on top. Brad and the other dealers could not help but smirk at the free entertainment they were witnessing now. They were used to being blamed for any and all bad outcomes so it was nice for someone else to take the heat for a change. The fact that Jaime and Linh were doing it on purpose made it even better.
“We got the whole table on tilt. Ready to up our bets?” Jaime whispered to Linh.
Without even hesitating, Linh doubled her “Don’t Pass” bet. “Let’s keep tilting them.”

Un doble regalo
La cuarta temporada ha sido hecha con el único objetivo de cerrar hilos dejando abierta, como siempre, la posibilidad de un retorno. De ese modo, se dio el ansiado y extraño regreso de Julián (Rodolfo Sancho), quien se supone que murió en la tercera temporada, también se concretó en la relación de Lola Mendieta (Macarena García) y Pacino (Hugo Silva), Amelia Folch (Aura Garrido) hizo un breve cameo y Alonso de Entrerríos (Nacho Fresneda) lidió con el estrés de ser padre a la par que trabaja viajando por el tiempo. Asimismo, Salvador Martí (Jaime Blach), Irene Larra (Cayetena Guillén Cuervo) y Ernesto Jiménez (Juan Gea) vuelven a estar a la cabeza del Ministerio y también pudimos ver más excentricidades de Velázquéz (Julián Villagrán) y a Angustias (Francesca Piñón) reaccionando ante la locura de las misiones. Pensando en el futuro se adhirió a Carolina (Manuela Vellés) como una nueva integrante de la patrulla.
Tumblr media
Esta vez el enfoque estuvo nivelado entre el lado humano de los personajes de la serie y los personajes históricos que anteriormente parecían predominar el plot de los episodios. Una de las críticas que hice en la tercera temporada es que la serie estaba más interesada en el cameo de sus figuras históricas que en la propia evolución de sus propios personajes, pero uno no ve la serie para decir “hey, mira allí está X”, ese más bien es el plus. La cuarta temporada se encargo de que estos personajes históricos tengan su tiempo de brillar, pero también que los protagonistas se vean impactados a un nivel emocional por cada viaje en el tiempo. Los episodios “El laberinto del tiempo” y “El tiempo vuelta” son los mejores de la temporada exactamente porque, aunque es genial ver a la patrulla ayudar a Pedro Almodóvar de joven a producir su película “Laberinto de Pasiones”, es mucho más emocionante ver el reencuentro entre Pacino y uno de sus viejos amigos, del mismo modo, es alucinante ver a Albert Einstein, pero es mucho más reconfortante conocer la historia de amor de Salvador y su conexión con Emilio Herrera, inventor de la escafandra estrato náutica, porque explica el nivel de compromiso y cariño que le tiene Salvador al ministerio.
Tumblr media
Como siempre, la serie encuentra un modo de incluir alguna problemática social en los episodios, aunque no tenga tiempo de adentrarse en debates y posiciones. Por ejemplo, una de las exigencias de Alonso para volver al ministerio es la instalación de una cuna para los hijos de los agentes. La demanda de Alonso se siente como una broma porque Alonso es el prototipo de macho alfa, guerrero y patriota, pero no deja de ser un derecho laboral. La esposa de Alonso trabaja y él se ha quedado en casa cuidando a su bebé, tiene sentido que, si va a volver a laboral, su lugar de trabajo le tiene que ofrecer ese beneficio. Del mismo modo, en el episodio de Pedro Almodóvar, el amigo de Pacino muere de sida, pero no se hace mención que el amigo de Pacino tiene sida, pero vemos su espalda llena de manchas y su deterioro físico y sabemos que la canción que canta lo hace a modo de despedida. En ese mismo capítulo, se presenta a Carolina, quien ha escapado de su matrimonio porque era víctima de violencia doméstica.
