JENNIFER-LYNN HAYDEN/JADE & DONNA TROY/TROIA in GREEN LANTERN (1990)

Were Jesse and Sandy members of Infinity, Inc. now? That’s pretty cool actually.

what the funk?

Todd Rice. Jesse Chambers. Rick Tyler. Damon Matthews. Brunch. Double Dates. Babies. Dramatic DMs. 1407 words. (ao3.)

Todd Rice was smiling from ear to ear. 

Which to the blond attorney sitting across the restaurant table was a common occurrence, but to the couple joining them for brunch was certainly not. 

Nonetheless, Jesse and Rick were happy to see that bringing their infant son on a double date was a fantastically good idea. 

As Todd held Johnny Tyler on his lap and cooed over the little one’s every action, Jesse sat beside the pair and couldn’t wipe the grin from her face. It was always nice to see which JSAers got along well with her son, doubly so if both parties seemed to adore one another. 

On the table was a spread of food fitting for a group of yuppie twenty-somethings in New York — eggs benedict, smoked bacon, everything bagels, and enough avocado slices to justify the hefty price tag. 

And on the other side of said table sat Damon and Rick — i.e the other brunch participants who could only watch as Todd poured all of his attention to the baby on his lap. 

“Well, Todd, you did always have a thing for blonds…” Damon quipped. 

Todd shot his boyfriend a brassy look as a smirking Damon poured cream into his coffee. 

Fortunately, little Johnny hadn’t much time in his life for petty comments. Instead, his priority had become the contents on the table in front of him. Todd and Jesse watched in amusement as Johnny reached his tiny hands outwards and grasped his stubby fingers around the first thing he could find. Hopefully Todd wouldn’t mind the boy stealing the remains of his bagel. 

Curiously, Johnny wasted no time in taking the object and learning more about it in the only way he could — by stuffing it into his mouth and pressing his gums against it.

Todd remained playful as he gently pried the morsel away from the little guy. “Careful, buddy, you don’t have enough teeth for that yet.” 

Jesse nodded along. “Yeah, we’ll work on it later.” Smartly, she found a different piece of food on the table — one that Johnny was more accustomed to eating — and quickly placed it into his hand. 

Despite the dull look in his baby blues, Johnny had no complaints about being handed a strawberry slice and lifted it up into his mouth. 

Just as Johnny did so, Rick looked up from his meal and reacted the way that most fathers did when their child did something adorable. 

“Oh, hold up, I gotta get this!” the Man of the Hour said in a lively, excited tone. 

From his pocket Rick pulled out his smartphone and held it up. Recording little Johnny eating a strawberry while sitting on Uncle Todd’s lap was too good of a photo op to miss. 

The second Todd saw Rick documenting the scene for future generations to see, he grinned. He just couldn’t find it in him to spoil the joy of a father who wanted to remember every good memory of his son’s upbringing. 

Instead, Todd let the moment be recorded and even gave Rick’s camera a cheeky grin.

Once the short clip was recorded, Rick gave it a quick look over before glancing at Todd. 

“Mind if I post this?” he asked. “My mom likes to see… everything, basically.” 

Todd nodded. “Go ahead.”

Rick went ahead with his request as the remaining brunch attendees continued to enjoy their meals. 

As they dug into poached eggs, croissants, and arugula salad, the sun above shined a ray of warmth onto the patio. It was one of those days in May that was either late spring or early summer — one could never truly tell — and what mattered the most was that the remains of winter had finally melted away. 

As Todd watched Jesse feed her son a few more dainty strawberry slices, he felt his phone buzz in his pocket. Judging by the duration of each vibration, he guessed that someone was texting him several times in a row. Upon retrieving his phone and looking at the screen he realized that he was right, but not in the way he expected. 

As he read the barrage of all caps messages inside of his DMs, Todd furrowed his eyebrow. 

“Jeez, Jennie what the…” 

Jesse shot Todd a cautious glance. 

“...funk,” Todd soon corrected. He held his phone up to the Speedster sitting next to him. “I think Jennie’s jealous.” 

Curiously, Jesse adjusted her glasses and looked over the messages. For the sake of the two himbos sitting across from her, she read the words out loud. 

“Todd, what the funk? You and Damon and Jesse and Rick are going to brunch at some bougie patio cafe and you didn’t even invite me?” she recited in a comically dull tone, which had the effect of downplaying the message’s intensity yet emphasizing the absurdity. 

The message timestamps and the nature of the social media platform confirmed that Jennie was responding to Rick’s newly uploaded clip, the one depicting baby Johnny eating a strawberry while lounging on Uncle Todd’s lap. Whether it be the cuteness of the situation or the sight of the picturesque Manhattan cafe that spurred the dramatics, no one could tell. 

Damon chuckled and Rick rolled his eyes at Jennie’s usual theatrics, whereas Todd let out a sigh. Judging by his exasperation, things like this were common in the life of being Jennifer-Lynn Hayden’s brother. 

“Maybe I should’ve invited her…” Todd bemoaned, running his hand through his hair. 

“Why?” Rick shrugged off. He cut himself a piece of eggs benedict topped with the right amount of hollandaise sauce and speared it with his fork. “So she could be a sixth wheel?”

“I mean…” Todd started, then sighed. “...she likes to be included in things.”  

“Yeah, I can tell,” Rick said, putting the morsel of food into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he continued to speak. “Come on, man, just like… buy her a treat or something, she’ll forgive you eventually.” 

Damon let out a laugh as he took another sip of his coffee. “Rick, she’s a person, not a dog.” 

Rick rolled his eyes as most of the brunch table — sans Todd — laughed at him. “Still, you get what I mean.”

Jesse gently nudged Todd. “Maybe tell her that sometimes you and Damon want to do things with other couples,” she explained calmly, handing Todd’s phone back to him with the softest touch. “I’m sure she’ll understand.” 

Once more, Todd nodded along. For all the talk he had about being able to communicate effectively with Jennie, some things were slightly more difficult to get across. Todd’s general introversion and Jennie’s tendency for theatrics did not help in one bit. 

Perhaps he was overthinking things. Surely, Jennie — who had been in more relationships than him — could understand a couple’s desire to do things with other couples. 

In fact, he and Damon had been looking for friends to double date with for the longest time. Having his sister third wheel them to a movie or an art gallery lacked a certain kind of connection that could only be fulfilled by another couple. 

What made the situation ideal was that everyone seemed to get along — Todd and Rick bonded over their favorite Sondheim musicals while Jesse and Damon discovered that they went to the same school for their undergrad. 

“Exactly, what she said,” Damon added, clicking his tongue and pointing to Jesse in the way that only attorneys with expensive educations could. 

In times like this, Todd would quip about whether this was the stuff that Carnegie Mellon grads paid $60,000 to learn, but now he wouldn’t dare do so in front of another alum. Clearly, the only education he was comfortable insulting was that of his boyfriend’s and no one else’s. 

With newfound confidence in his little brunch crowd, Todd gave a gentle smile. Internally, he decided to tell his sister his thoughts in a few minutes, knowing that given some time Jennie would calm down from her antics, as per usual. 

“You’re right,” Todd said, feeling more grounded with the encouragement given. “I’ll tell her in a bit though.” 

Rick continued to cut into his meal as he spoke. “And… maybe remind her that only one of you knows how to hold onto a man and it’s not her.”

And to that, the entire brunch table burst into the kind of laughter that one didn’t want to give into but let out anyway.

Well it took a year and a half, but the new JSA book from this past week is explicitly about the Infinity, Inc. kids! Jenny and Todd, Rick, Beth, and Yolanda, with Jesse and Sandy along for the ride!

Ay! They let her out of the fridge! It's so nice when DC consents to doing the bare minimum as a comics company.
