#nightcreeper is the best detective

[kurtty-drabbles]

Amalgaverse au(part 1?)

N/A: What am I doing? this is a huge AU of another AU that is canon(lol) anyway, Kitty in this au is a mix of Constantine and the questioner or maybe not this is a huge au after all, bottom line, Kitty is a magical detective.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling

The Justice League X is in peril, in fact, the New Gotham is in peril. Wavelengths of magic are changing bits of reality in the city and the heroes are powerless to stop. Dark Claw and the others know who is to blame, Crimson Witcher, but, a woman who can´t delete or rechange reality is hardly someone that can be easily defeated.

Nightcreeper is the only one who is not in despair. Giggling madly as the others mentioned that the Statue of New Gotham now is alive and talking, to Nightcreeper this seems more exciting than a bored statue.

"We must kill the witch, maybe...Jean, you can throw a firebomb in their hideout? She is a reality wrapped but she is still human if we nuke the place, she´ll die" Scott suggested and people are considering this solution carefully, a bomb made by Jean will cost part of the city.

"Hey! who is talking about nuke the city?" a voice echoes in the headquarters. A figure wearing a trench coat and a fedora. No one can make the face of the person, is a blur and the voice is too unisexual to pinpoint if belongs to a male or female.

The others are in a mix, Dark Claw and Scott seem to reconize the figure as they are the oldest members, however, others are not familiar. Sparrow is confused by who is the intruder and Nightcreeper is upside down trying to see the face of the new welcome.

"I thought we had this conversation before, we deal with magic sources, not the JLX, got it?" the person points to Logan and then to Scott ignoring the others.

Nightcreeper is still upside down and Sparrow is regretting to the side to him at the moment as the man is almost completely naked.

"Who are you?" Sparrow asked as Nightcreeper is now sit normally or as closer it can be.

"I´m the magical guardian of this confuse city, I´m the Constantine" the figure replied not looking at any members.

"Crimson witcher is destroying the city, what you can do?" Dark Claw speaks in a barbed tone.

"My job, now, don´t worse your case by nuke the city," the person said leaving the JLX behind.

___________________________

The crimson witcher is in her headquarters, an improvised one in the last minute, to complete her spell, the woman forgets about the world. Completely.

The man in front of her opens his eyes once again and starts to breathing. In and out. In and out. Until the man roses from the ground looking at his new hand and at the woman in front of him, who in turn in ashamed and gleefully.

" Wanda? You brought me back?" the man replied in awe and careful. "How are you?" his tone is full worried as this type of spell has consequences "how is the rest of the world?"

"I don´t know...I didn´t care, not now, I just wanted to bring you back, I´m that selfish" Wanda replied as she holds Vision´s hand looking down.

"Hey!" the magical guardian phases through her spells and walls "there are you Crimson Witcher and hello to you Vision" the figure take the fedora and show her round face and brown eyes.

"Kitty" Vision and Wanda greet back nervous. The reality of what brings someone back means is now looming above their heads.

"Wanda, you know the rules, I have to report this and you need to know the damage you inflicted on the city, people are scared" Kitty respond and Wanda swallow and nods her head now looking at the vision, her husband.

"Wanda, I know reality can be harsh, I know how it can be tempting to just stay in our bubble, however, we can´t live like that, you´re a powerful heroine, a woman many admire."Vision holds her face with his hands "I know this will be an obstacle we´ll face together, ok?"

Wanda smiles grateful and nods one more time now looking at Kitty.

"I did something incredibly selfish and I don´t want to get off the hooker because of my name, so, please, I want to make amends, I can´t control their fears, but, I can control mines" Wanda respond.

"Thanks to the right answer, now, there´s an alive statue that is talking you need to fix"  Kitty replied smiling in relief now, deciding to not tell how the JLX was ready to nuke them.

_______________________

As the Crimson Witcher starts to fix her mistakes and apologise for the confusion along with her now alive husband, something Dark Claw does not need the gore details, the heroes feel relief at the situation be under control once again.

All thanks to that Constantine person.

Nightcreeper and Dark Claw watch as Constantine is helping Wanda and Vision, scowling and helping at the same time, and how the famous Crimson Witcher take the figure´s words as is sacred.

"Once again, Constantine saved our butts and we know nothing about him" Dark Claw drink a beer, they are inspecting the restoration, not only to make the citizen feel secure but also to try to understand the situation and Constantine.

Nightcreeper giggles madly and adds.

"We don´t know the gender of this person, so I´ll use them, anyway, this person is new. They are nervous " Nightcreeper speaks and Dark Claw stops drinking his beer to look at his friend, Constantine has no face to be seen how can someone tell if they are nervous or not." their hands" Nightcreeper smilies like a lunatic and Logan sighs tiredly.

" Always opening and closing, as they only direct to Scott and Logan, the oldest members of the league, asserting their dominance" Nightcreeper adds on "they seem to be new in the city as I saw back then Constantine looking lost in the Central Park of New Gotham as Crimson witcher and Vision had to guide them"

Oh, Logan didn´t notice that.

"They also feel more comfortable dealing with Vision and Crimson than us, we can speculate that this Constantine or they know the couple well enough or they are comfortable dealing with magical people than regular people"

Logan would like to point out that Nightcreeper is nothing come close to regular people.

"My guess? They got this title recently and they are unsure on how to proceed. As magical accidents happen in New Gotham all the time, but this Constantine talks as if this is the first time"

"You realized all that because of their hands?"

Nightcreeper responds by giggling madly once again and mentioned he is a really good reporter.

____________________________

Kurt Ryder is called by his superiors to an important reunion. J.J. Perry decides to hire, out of the blue, a new person to assist Ryder with his show, You´re Wrong, is not a bizarre occurrence. Is just a bit too soon, as J.J.Perry already hired this person quicker.

Arriving in the room, people are a bit confused as well as how fast the process was, normally, J.J.Perry is way too meticulous, but then again, is not an abnormal situation.

Vera Sweet and J.J.Perry are holding a purple paper, explaining is the resumé of the new candidate and now an employee.

"Ryder, she´ll be great to your show, she used to work for the Canadian show called You´re right" Vera speaks amused with herself. Kurt Ryder never heard of this show, sure, he never is in tune with Canadians shows, but this one seems fishy.

"I never heard of this show, who is this person?" Kurt asked and is glad that Cord is agreeing with his question and feelings. The door is open and a smiling woman wearing jeans and a white shirt with sunglasses(it was a really hot day) put away reveals herself.

"My name is Kitty Pryde and I´ll work here now" Kitty speaks with confidence but Ryder saw her hands open and close way too similar to Constantine.

Cord takes Kurt´s plight as his own and makes several questions to the new employee(Kurt suspect the man´s ego is hurt as it did take a lot to make Cord be hired and this woman was hired in the first go) while saying how cute she is.

Her only reply?

"Look at my resumé" the woman answers crossing her arms and looking affronted but Ryder still sees her fingers flex as her eyes look away. Cord looks at the purple resumé and suddenly has no more questions.

"I´ve never heard of your show. What´s about?" Ryder asked refusing to see the resumé saying he trusts on Vera and J.J.Perry judgment(and also, following his guts here)

"A wholesome show about how you are right" Kitty explained and Ryder nods still looking at her and her fingers. Her body language. Her eyes still avert looking at him, instead, watching the window.

"Good, I like it, welcome aboard, Miss Pryde" Ryder shakes her hand and notice how petite the woman truly is. Cute indeed, but, Kurt Ryder is also looking at the bigger picture here.

Some from the meeting also make themselves noticed by asking why they should hire her if she only works in one show in Canada. The sentiment change once looking at the purple resumé.

"Because I work in a Canadian and Australian show" Kitty replied.

"I never heard of this show" confessed Ryder smiling at her.

"Because is a Canadian and Australian show" Kitty wits back.

"Well, I need help, so, Miss Pryde, help me with the show" Ryder smiles not wanting to sound too intimidating as he is next to the petite woman "I look forward to seeing your experience in my show"

"Me too, say, how about we go first see that famous anonymous line?" Kitty asked trying not to seem too interested but in Ryder´s eyes failing.

"No, first we have many things to do" Kurt Ryder holds her hand and guide her to the studio. Not looking to the purple resumé as the others are sure Kitty Pryde is the new asset to the New Gotham´s News.

Kurt Ryder loves a mystery.

Nightcreeper found a pastime.

And Kitty Pryde has no idea what she put herself into.

[kurtty-drabbles]

Amalgverse au (part 2?)

N/A: This is a cute idea. I want to make clear is Kitty not dumb, she is not accustomed to this environment but she is not dumb. I really don´t want to make Kitty into a born sexy yesterday. She does not know anything on the TV and media´s business but she is not dumb.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling

The Gotham News is famous for many things, one of them is the sheer amount of technology for each of their program or their needs. The Studio is a clear example of this equipped with the best resources to make each show in the TV channel(Gotham News has the news and the talk show for now as their primarily shows but there talk in expanded) and the show You´re wrong is a fine example of many things.

Many interns would have a similar reaction. Working in the New Gotham´s studio is a place where they can be closer of their dreams of being a professional.

Kitty Pryde is looking at the extended lines and cameras with childlike awe as she noticed the lines, the lights and people working in each little detail. Kurt Ryder is watching her, such glee in the eyes is not uncommon, many would feel this way when getting the chance to work here.

Of course, Kurt is not that arrogant to think the attention is for him or that he is the best in the entire world, however, even the newest interns never show not even a fraction of the same emotion as Kitty is giving so freely.

Ryder thought about Jessica Jones, a woman sent by their rival company to spy on them, she was...not a good actress to say the least and they manage to change the tidel in their rival´s schemes by giving Jessica false information.

But...something on Kitty does not seem to belong to a spy. Especially as she didn´t even question about the plans of the show or any other program linked to Gotham News.

"Miss Pryde" Ryder calls her out and her eyes are shinning in fascination with the different lights being throw, or she is the best actress or...there´s something really fishy going on.

"I want to discuss the schedule with you" Ryder offers still analysing her moves.  She is acting more and more like someone that never put a foot in a TV studio and this makes the situation even more mysterious.

Her doe eyes look at him and as much she is really cute Ryder won´t let his guard down until he gets the full story.

"Schedule?" Kitty asked tittling her head to the side slightly and showing a clear signal of confusion.

"For the show, do you know anything about ''you´re wrong''?" Kurt asked expecting any answer at this point. Kitty, surprising the man once again, only shakes her head.

"Is your show, you can do whatever you want, right?" the question is made with uncertainty as now she is bitting her bottom lip and maybe she can pick up some social cue and a few clues that this is not the typical answer. Ryder plays along.

"I wish, no, the idea is to reveal all the secrets my interviewee are hiding and expose the truth to the public" Ryder explained feeling proud of said explanation and by extension, himself.

Kitty claps her hands together as if now she understands the situation, and her eyes show a fierce determination and Ryder wishes it wasn´t that cute as it can be extremely hard to focus.

"You´re an inquisitor" Kitty explained now calmly and Ryder knows people compare him with many things, such as : evil Dr Phil, if Voldemort has a talk show , if Snape has a talk show, if Sauron has a talk show and his favourite don´t ever come to this show thinking you can deceive Ryder or you´ll make company to the devil.

(The last one seems way too dark for his like but sometimes, such reputation helps in his case, sometimes)

Now, Inquisitor is a new one. What´s caught his attention(aside from the comparison) is how that´s was the first thing that pops in her mind. No one mentions the inquisition, except the ones who joke with the famous line of Mounty Pynton.

Yet, she makes this comparison as if something natural...for her. For where she comes from. Ryder put this in his mind and proceeds as nothing happens.

"An Inquisitor? how so?" Kurt Ryder asks calmly not giving any negative emotion nor how craving for information the man is.

"Oh, Inquisitors do this, they have to extract the truth from people, and my old job was to protect people from any interference" now Kitty´s eyes widen and she is bitting the nail of her thumb, realizing that this is not a proper response for the cover and then smiles (the corner of her lip shiver slightly and Kurt is paying attention to everything) "fool you, I mean, inquisitors aren´t normal for us, mere citizen of this lovely city, you´re wrong, so...what I should do?"

She is making this too easy. But Ryder has no clue on what´s her endgame is.

"Well, J.J.Perry hire you too quickly, Bertha was the responsible for the light" Ryder points at the camera and notice her awe again, like a child that never saw such thing in her entire life "but the editing can wait, I suppose as your first day, you can chat with the interns and get the ropes of the situation"

Kitty nods and then asks looking determined.

"Can we put tons of different lights with this machine?" Kitty asked and Ryder knows this is really fishy.

"I hope not, as tons of light in the camera means no one will watch us, which will be a bad thing for the show" Ryder explained and Kitty nods saying there´s a moderate number of lights to use(not wrong) and she´ll do her best.

One last test, to see what´s her intention(a spy?)

"Today, I ´ll interview James Patrick, the man is allegedly accused of stealing tons of money from the health care to rich his pockets" and the said man has several friends who got rich in the process at the expenses of others.

Kitty frown at Kurt and now her hands are completely relaxed.

"What a nasty fellow. Those who steal must deal with the consequences" Kitty explained in a more serious tone and Kurt nods.

"The man even says something absurd every week, last time, the man said he saw the headless knight walking freely by the city at the night" now Kitty´s eyes are wide again, her lips are in a thin line, as her hands are in the famous opening and closening.

"Yeah, what absurd thing, where he said he saw the headless knight?" Kitty speaks trying(and failing) to be natural.

"On the residence of Chestnur" Ryder explained and Kitty nods and thanks him as she is about to leave, Kurt having a good idea of his own strength and how people perceive certain scenes, gently touch the sleeve of Kitty´s shirt gaining her attention.

"Where we are going? The show is there, I may need your help after you " now the man whisper on her ear "you did the famous Canadian-Australian ''you´re right'' and I´m always up for new points of view" Ryder smiles at her and notice she does not use perfume.

(but her smell is too unique. No woman in the city wears such scent. She is not from here, that´s a given at this point)

_________________________

The situation of the headless knight was dealt in Chestnur with easy as the knight himself appears to be really lost as Kitty feels sometimes in this new place. A nice talk and the man was back to his dimension, someone summons him by accident and the man was rumoured ever since.

(And she also dealt with the summoner of the knight and that person won´t do careless summon in the future)

Now, she has one last thing to do for the night. She must deal with the troll in the Grace Park´s garden. Which has a few problems and one of them is that Kitty has no idea where the place is.

"Ah, I shouldn´t have accepted this promotion" Kitty used to her own distorted voice thanks to the magical fedora and spells as right now Kitty is looking at a map that is not helping her case "Ok, I´m here and I need to go there...."

"No, actually, you are there and you need to be here" Nightcreeper shows up doing a pose that Kitty has no idea of what´s all about, however, due to the man wearing little to nothing, Kitty has no time or desire to guess what the pose is.

"Nightcreeper" her voice is tentative as she is afraid she got the name wrong and the lunatic only giggled maniacally as a reply "What are you doing here? Is the JLX is trying to meddle with magical affairs?" there´s a dark tone in her voice and Kitty knows she can take down at least half of the members and can cause serious damage to the rest and if the worst comes by, the council has no problem in resorting to extermination.

(Come to think of, is a bit ironic they choose Kitty to a job that basically ensures the peace among magical communities and humans as they see no problem in extermination. Then again, sometimes, sacrifices must be made but...she hopes the JLX gets the memo and don´t start meddling)

A green fuzzy hand is waving in front of her face snapping Kitty back to reality.

"Lost in thoughts, Kinder" Nightcreeper speaks don´t mind the dark tone or the subtle implication. Nightcreeper is too insane to follow a magical guardian and Kitty wonders why? "I was just doing my patrol" Kitty, having her identity hide, seems bemused by the explanation and somehow she has the feeling Nightcreeper seems to get and is amused.

"Are you trying to go to Grace Park´s garden?" Nightcreeper asks and Kitty didn´t reply, how did he know? "you are going on the wrong way" the lunatic giggles and point to the other side "the garden is there"

Oh, Kitty is chewing the nail of her thumb again and Nightcteeper seems amused by this gesture.

"You´re so cute" Nightcreeper speaks cooing at her and Kitty would say how she is not cute, maybe using a non-lethal but scary spell when then the lunatic speaks again "it makes me want to watch the show you´re right"

This makes the woman stops on her tracks and the lunatic laughs, the makes a proposition.

"Let me take you to the garden, I´m not breaking any rule here as I´m merely taking you to the Garden, whatever happens there it happens" Nightcreeper suggested and Kitty thought for a moment.

"Are you not afraid of magic? Why help me?"

"You´re lost and I´m the gallant hero who will escort the brave magical guardian to her destination" Nightcreeper replied and Kitty ends up accepting the deal.

_________________________

The garden is really pretty but sadly, Kitty is not here to enjoy the garden. Nightcreeper is jumping and bouncing like an energetic child.

"Shush, be quiet, he knows we are here" Kitty explained and Nightcreeper just smiles widely now.

Kitty walks near a bridge and chants a few words and suddenly, a huge troll shows up destroying part of the bridge and looks in a foul mood.

"I´m Butch" the troll replied. "I´m a troll"

"Hi, I would ever guess, my turn? Ok, I´m Constantine and you´re in a serious problem" Kitty explained and Kurt can even see her smiling at the big troll, smiling in victory as she is about to do something.

(So relaxed and in control, way different than in the TV studios)

The troll seems afraid for a moment, the name Constantine obviously has some weight, but, Butch immediately calms down and tries to attack Kitty. Which, of course, it was a terrible idea.

Nightcreeper teleports Kitty out before his huge fist could have caused any damage.

"Magical guardian, ok, does not mean I want you to be a pancake" Nightcreeper explained already imagine the expression on her face.

"Nightcreeper, trust on me, I´m the Constantine for a very good reason" Kitty speaks and phasing from his embrace the woman goes back to where Butch is.

Kitty uses one finger in her hands creating a golden line. Butch tries to step away, run, anything, but it´s was useless.

"Wait, I´m the son of the great Jim, the king of trolls, you can´t touch me, I have diplomatic immunity" his tone is desperate as the man is walking causing more damage to the garden.

"Yeah, but according to the laws of the troll´s state, no troll will harm a human or be on a human´s territory, you violate two of those rules and who do you think to ask to put an end on this?" Kitty speaks as now Butch realizes he is in the circle of the golden line as Kitty controlling the circle starts to erase Butch, the troll.

The troll is no more.

No words are needed as Kitty starts using magic to restore the garden, however, Nightcreeper waves at Kitty.

"There´s someone here" Nightcreeper points to a woman who is far too scared who is under the bridge tied up, it was not all the bridge that was destroyed, only the support, so the woman is fine.

A survivor never crossed into her mind during this whole exchange.

Kitty goes to the woman who is crying in fear.

"Is ok, is over, This is Nightcreeper he is a hero from the JLX and I´m a magical guardian, the Constantine" Kitty speaks and the woman didn´t move. "Are you in pain? I can help you, we can help"

Now the woman rose her eyes to her saviours and only speak in a low tone.

"That monster wanted to eat me, how can I live my life now?"

Kitty has no idea. Survivors are hardly on her mind(usually there are no survivors)

Nightcreeper then speaks gathering their attention.

"Live well and longer which is something that troll won´t do ever again." Nightcreeper gives this as an answer and the woman accept, for the lack of better term, this as an answer.

Healing the woman and send her where she will be safer was a night that Kitty did plan. To be fair, lately, nothing is what she expected.

Nightcreeper can see how she is sad(can imagine her doe eyes looking down, her lips shiver slightly as her hands are out of his view)  and is never the one to let sadness win any battle.

"Hey, magischer Wächter" Nightcreeper speaks poking her shoulder to get her attention like the real lunatic he is "are you hungry?"

"Food, now?" Kitty asked feeling confused and a bit angry, how can she think of food after what she saw.

"Yes, because you won´t accomplish nothing by looking sorry for yourself or for that woman, I know that sometimes even I can´t save everyone" Nightcreeper now stops poking her shoulder. "All you can do is try your best to save the others, you can´t change what this woman went through, however, because of you she is alive and that´s something to celebrate with churros"

Kitty can´t help by chuckle a little. This man is crazy.

"I don´t know where we can eat churros" Kitty replied.

"The horror, I know we can eat, and I can show you the city next time as you won´t look so lost"

"I feel like you want to be my partner in this crusade"

"Nah, I feel like we work together already"

"You´re crazy"

"You´re right"

Kitty accepts his offer to eat churros, the other is still being debated. The man is crazy enough to deal with her job, but, Constantine always works alone. Then again, maybe a change of pace can be good(uhm, as long the JLX does not meddle in the missions...why not?)

[kurtty-drabbles]

Ocean au (Harvey Dent part 5)

N/A: This is the last chapter, no, there´s one last but I can count that one as epilogue so in a sense, this is the last one.

@dannybagpipesarecalling @djinmer4 @bamfoftheundead @muninandhugin

Cheating is not exactly a novel concept and New Gotham has its fair share of cheating- as much in the love department as in every other section of life- even Felicia Hardy was cheated by an ex-lover before joining into the masked club of New Gotham-a case that makes her laugh as she´s the wife of a billionaire and is living more than well- but the point remains, everyone was cheated in New Gotham at some point, nonetheless, only MJ took such drastic changes once it happened to her.

In a way, MJ thought to flip the coin with a coy smile, this is all thanks to Columbina...what if my ex decided to sleep with another woman instead of Kitty? Would I have been here today?

The most likely scenario would have been a divorce and heartbreaking-she knows still a very good lawyer-but, the thing of what-ifs -all its beauty and ugliness aside- no matter what she conjures in her mind, she still has to face with reality.

"MJ" the woman stop flipping the coin and press the comcon to communicate freely- no one in New Gotham would bat an eye if she starts talking seemingly to no one, but, she´s a good actress and like to be prepared to every ridiculous situation-and take her cellphone, already turn off, to pretend to speak with. "You´re getting like a stalker, little boy" MJ teased and her eyes flick to the nearest skyscraper with a smug on her pretty face.

"MJ. I´m not a stalker" SpiderBoy states still nervous and she can sense the tone in his voice and can even imagine his expression. "I´m not a fan of this plan...I would prefer if we used Columbina for this...she´s the one with experience with creepy things" there´s a hint of malice here and MJ bites her inner cheek for a moment and let's go as she starts walking.

"Well, tiger...the thing is...I offer myself to the job, and what you think or approve doesn´t really matter right now. My last husband...always tried to control me in some way, MJ doesn´t do this...don´t wear that" she pauses to exhales. "Wanna know how this story ends?"

"You found someone much better? I know a guy who works in the News Gotham who has a thing for red hairs his name starts with Peter.." SpiderBoy jokes and MJ chuckles at that and even if he couldn´t see- no, he can see her just fine. She knows it and for the time being, won't see this as creepy, only for tonight. She wonders about his powers that sometimes are too based on spiders and not based on spiders at the same time.

"No, tiger...he cheated on me. The woman found out he was married warm me and together we take him down" and MJ adds softly. "that woman is Columbina"

"Don´t you hate her?"

"At first...a little, but, my anger and the blame is direct only to my ex. So, when I say I chose to do this, tiger, you listen and offer me support and not criticism or nagging, got it?"

"Yes, madam!"

________________________________________________________________________________________

Dark Claw prior to delivering the coin to MJ was sure the said coin was magic or has some eccentricity about it-yet, the coin has no SCP´s abilities and nothing magical of the sort, just a regular coin that is held with affection by a new killer- and now watches on his screen- installed on his batmobile- as MJ is doing her round and tossing the coin in the air and doing all she can to show the object.

"So, this is the batmobile? Cool, can I drive next time?" Columbina asked looking around -Sparrow is not present as she´s leading the Young Blood, Polaris is helping in some mission regards T.I but still considers herself a neutral part- and Dark Claw only groans as his answer is curt as possible. "No, only I drive the batmobile and ...I saw how you drive, that´s a big no"

"Would be amazed if I told you Ryder said the same thing?"

"How long you knew he is Nightcreeper?"

"For a long while. I like to troll him here and there...he has no idea who am I, right?"

"He has a theory that you´re either a fae" Columbina chuckles at that and Dark Claw offers a ghost of a smile. "and another theory is that you´re trickest who never tells the truth about its origin"

Columbina blinks at this. Her eyes are owlish and she even takes off her cowl. "Is he always superstitious?"

"Always! but I think knowing the SCP allows some justification to his fears"

________________________________________________________________________________________

Nightcreeper is fully changed now. Watching MJ on the other side - SpiderBoy is very obvious about his feelings towards MJ and Nightcreeper is many, many things, but, not a hypocrite so he´ll not mention this or rather, he doesn´t have the mind to mention- his golden eyes inspect the surrounders as he´s jumping from roof to roof, to gothic structure to another and while giving off a very annoying and dangerous laugh.

The type that makes SpiderBoy want to shoot a web into his mouth- and Nightcreeper came up with several dirty jokes about such idea- the man is still somewhat sane-a a bit debatable- to spot a man with a scarred face approaching MJ with clearly bad intentions.

So bad intentions even a lunatic as Nightcreeper can see it.

"Spidey...our guest arrives," Nightcreeper said and didn´t wait to see his reaction or the others as Nightcreeper is contacting Columbina. "Scarface is here...Columbina"

Her voice is soothing- the situation is not warrant something soothing, but, Nightcreeper needs to say, at least in his own mind, how her voice is firm, yet, peaceful...so similar to a certain someone- "Got it, Kurt stay out, for now, keep watching"

"Sounds kinky...wait, what did you call me?" he asked and Columbina passed the conversation to Dark Claw who is giving the instructions.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

Two-Face is pissed, maybe even more than in his nights of cleaning the city, and his movements are erratic and unhinged as humanly possible until he spots MJ tossing his coin- there´s no doubt this was his coin, what better coin to flip than his own?- and all the man can see is red. Literally in this case.

"You stole my coin?" he gets a knife- MJ is more than happy, guns are hard to deflect and not her specialty, but, knives? Oh, she knows how to deal it-"give me back or die?"

"Uhm, finders keepers, my friend" and MJ toss the coin again and asks one question. "but I´m more than willing to return this to you if you answer me this: Why you need this coin so much?"

"What good killer would I be...without my coin? I need it to clean the city" and the conversation is deemed over as Two-Face is charging at MJ, however, knives are her thing and she managed to dodge and with few good moves and hits manages to get rid of his knife.

Two-Face now draws a gun. And now Nightcreeper and SpiderBoy show up and the fight begins. Columbina arrives as well and it wasn´t needed to protect MJ at well.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Dark Claw observes the subdued Two-Face and isn´t needed to be the best detective to see who he really is. "Harvey Dent?" Columbina asked and her eyes meet with the insane pair of golden eyes of Nightcreeper. "So, Ryder was right this whole time?" SpiderBoy scoff and says is nothing but a mere lucky guess.

Nightcreeper is trying to pay attention to Columbina.

"I run the test, the beauty of technology" Dark Claw muses fondly "it seems Harvey Dent was poisoned by one of Hyena´s old venoms" Nightcreeper is piping in the conversation. "So, that´s why the Hyena is so silent?"

"Maybe, maybe not. He´s not very careful with the poison he makes...still, how Harvey Dent enters in contact with it is something I need to know." And Dark Claw now inquiry one thing from Columbina. "You were in his house, did you saw anything suspicious?"

"Aside from him having a painel with photos of now dead criminals and another where he give horns to Ryder? Is pretty normal, typical place in New Gotham"

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Columbina and Nightcreeper are away from the police and the media- Dark Claw is merciful to not let people know Harvey is behind the murders because it seems the man wasn´t in control of his actions- MJ and SpiderBoy are also there- Spidey seems a bit reluctantly in accepting the credit for a job MJ did(but, the best spy is the one no one would ever saw coming) and MJ is a great actress to pretend to be a hopeless victim Spidey saved.

"You were much needed in this plot" Nightcreeper speaks now with a big grin on his face.

"Yeah, I help a little but you heroes can do the rest without me...Kurt, don't you want to let people see you as Nightcreeper?" Columbina asked and Nightcreeper is about to laugh- a louder one and one that would make all eyes be on their figures- when Columbina tap his mouth with her hand.

He still laughs and she can feel the vibration. "Ryder...who do you think is behind this mask?" she points to her own mask.

"Who is Ryder?"

"You, your face is the same. The face is the same and I know you´re Kurt Ryder for a long while...wanna know how? Because I´m a fae!"

"REALLY?" Nightcreeper asked with fear and awe in his eyes laced with his usual insanity.

"No, just regular detective work..." and she removes the mask to show her face. "Hi, Kurt...I´m not a fae. Just Kitty"

Ocean au (Pool of Blood part 3)

N/A: Magneto makes his entrance. Lorna is confused. Kitty and Lorna are sis. And a new Heist is in the making. Ryder is on the case about Kitty and makes a connection about Columbina and Kitty.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @bamfoftheundead

Jump City is a city who is too alike to New Gotham to the point people consider them to be sisters, and in any other situation that would be a nice compliment, however, be compared to New Gotham is not something Jump City takes well.

And the Young Blood can´t argue with the comparison, even less so as a monster made of clay is attacking the city, once again. How this creature arrived? Good question and so far, Jubilee does not want to ask the monster as the creature is rather focused on eating. The menu? Humans.

"Where that thing comes from?" Korandrir sneered as she shoots another laser at the creature. Strong enough to keep at bay, not strong enough to kill it.

By the sheer amount of dumb luck, Jubilee found out the weakness of the monster, water, and a plan was made to finally put into action and the monster is no more.

"Does anyone knows where those things are coming from?" a question without an answer.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Cosmo is playing with his toy as any normal dog should, however, Cosmo is using his powers to lift the toy with his mind and re-moulding as it pleases him.

Jupiter is doing the same if you ignore the tentacles and the screams of lost souls coming from the void in his mouth. And those are Kitty´s pets. And those are Columbina´s bosses.

"So...Tell me more about this Pool of Blood?!" Kitty has still some sanity to ask inwardly what´s her life lately. The tentacles are back to where they come from, and no Kitty does not want to know, as Cosmo stops using his powers, but, remains with the chewing toy on his mouth...is not like he really needs his mouth to speak.

"Is a manifestation of Mother´s desire for monsters. Our mother" Cosmo speak, again, no need of a mouth. Jupiter, deciding to be against his notions, speak again and this time no tentacle. "Your mother" and Cosmo is bemused.

"She´s our mother. You found her. Why are you denying that?" Cosmo asked exasperated as Jupiter is being his lovely chaotic self and Kitty watches such interaction silently pondering how long those two know each other, in fact, how old are those two? And this is a question that while seems innocent enough...is one of those questions you´re better left not knowing.

"Just to piss you off" and this makes Kitty chuckles as Cosmo is bemused at this response. "In all honesty, our mom loves to make monsters and well, her monsters tend to be benign or neutral...but our dad" and now Cosmo scoff.

"You mean your dad!" Cosmo states and Jupiter rolls his eyes and continues. "my dad loves to make monstrosities that.....are not very nice, let´s leave at that"

And indeed is the best outcome here and Columbina is not one to try to change it. As she looks at Cosmo´s eyes, glowing brightly and proudly, as a gem materialized in front of Cosmo and Kitty´s eyes. "Kitty, do you know what this gem is?"

"Shinning?"

"Well, yes, but, this is an infinity gem and I´ll lead to you for the heist" Cosmo explains and now Kitty is confused and could and did named the mage heroines of JLX who would know how to use the gem properly.

"Yes, they would and you have little aptitude in magic, however, this gem is a present and will help in your quest and to save Lorna" and now Kitty has her attention on the shinning stone. ______________________________________________________________________________________________

Jubilee and the other Young Blood plus Nightcreeper are discussing why the flow of monsters and all the possible sources, and even Nightcreeper gave some solid options, but, in the end, Jubilee has no visible lead.

"Birdie, ignore the monsters...we have a grampa problem now" Nightcreeper speaks as Magneto, out of his retirement as what seems, and is using his power and has no qualms in facing the Young Blood.

But, to their surprise, a young woman with green hair seems to be the one Magneto is completely focused. "You, Polaris!" and how the Young Blood didn´t notice her presence? Oh, she was with an invisibility cloak. A gift that no one seems to have the right mind to inquire. "Talia gave you this cloak...at my command and now you have finally got the chance of meeting the master of magnetism" Magneto states as if this is something to be proud.

Lorna blinks and has one response to such line. "Who the hell are you?" and Magneto chuckles in his trademark way and soon a fight begins. In his words, is a fight to see who is the true master of magnetism and well, Polaris is no position to say no.

The Young Blood watches the scene for a moment. Sparrow relates this fact to Dark Claw and they continue to watch, in their mind, they hope each magnetic user would tire the other enough to make possible to arrest one of them. (through Jubs would give more preference in arrest Magneto than Polaris)

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Polaris is experient in using magnetic fields and control metal, but, Magento is a new field for Polaris and Magneto then decides to treat Polaris as a battery charge and just as he´s about to do it so, someone, out of blue punched his face right on the nose.

Polaris´s right eye side to Columbina for a moment. A chill moment as Polaris asks. "Are you glowing?" she asks a bit amused. Columbina, still showing, goes to Polaris to help her as Magneto is a foe that even she, the amazing Polaris and great oracle, couldn´t have as an equal...yet.

"Sis, what the hell is going on?"

"Long version or short version?"

"Short version"

"My dog power me up temporarily"

"Long version, please"

Magneto recovers from the punch and is now furious. "How dare stay between me and my daughter" and would attack again, but, again, Columbina glowing did some trick with magic and Magneto is not in Jump City.

Young Blood missed some parts of the conversation. The part where Polaris calls Columbina her sister is lost for them, however, when Magneto shout Polaris´s parentage...that certainly did the trick.

"Wait, you´re his daughter?" Nightcreeper is insane, but, even a wacko as he can´t ignore such revelation. Polaris is not amused and neither is Columbina.

"Don´t be a Mr Noisy Reporter" and with that Columbina teleported leaving the young heroes plus Nightcreeper behind. Nightcreeper is insane, but, that nickname is very familiar. ________________________________________________________________________________________

Kurt Ryder is still reeling on the memories of Magneto showing up and claiming Polaris is his lost daughter. Dark Claw gives a summarize about Magneto´s obsession with prophecies and missing daughters. "So...you think Polaris is his long lost daughter?"

"Look, the main question we should all do here is: Does she want to be anything like her supposed father?" Dark Claw asked back and subtle look at Sparrow, who in turn, is avoiding the gaze.

And the day went on. Kurt worked on his TV Show and in his free time manages to continue to track information about Kitty Pryde. Another article, a private one that no one needs to know is missing, relates a curious case.

Columbina strikes the famous museum of Ruritania. No victims were made and one of the witness Kitty Pryde informed how Columbina teleport out of the place so easily.

"Teleport?" Ryder remembers the glowing Columbina, but, that if Ryder can bet, did appear to be a one-time thing than a regular power for her...."Mr Noisy Reporter? Ohhhh what´s the connection between Columbina, Kitty and Polaris?" and now Ryder feels as if he´s getting someplace.

Arriving at his house the man notices two women walking together. One if Kitty Pryde, with his chestnut hair and the other, has green hair and a Frozen merchandising. Is Kitty dating a new girl? Well, he can´t judge nor should he feel disappointed.

"Kurt, this is my sister. Lorna Dane Pryde" Kitty introduces and Kurt is savvy enough to not let a sigh of relief escape his lips. Greetings were exchanged and before Kurt could say what is obvious, the two women don´t look alike thanks to the hair.

Ryder noticed something different. "The hair makes you two seem different, but, you two have the same eyes...so I can see the resemblance here"

"Wow, usually people never believe we´re sisters" Lorna states and Kurt shrugs off saying he´s a good detective. Kitty seems to be impressed, but, for some reason, her impressed face change to something saying "I know what are doing" and this make Ryder even more intrigued.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

(A few moments before Ryder show up)

"So...let me get this straight" Lorna is speaking once Cosmo and Jupiter gave the longest explanation for the entire situation. "Magneto thinks I´m his long lost daughter because of a prophecy?"

Cosmo, Kitty and Jupiter nod.

"And this infinity gem will be used to steal a Pool of Blood?"

Cosmo, Kitty and Jupiter nod again.

"And the Outer Gods have a master plan for everyone here?"

Again, the trio only nod.

"...Are you really going to do this?"

"Lorna. I´ll steal that Pool...and now I have to ask you, do you want to join the heist?"

"....Sure, why not? Who else will be in the heist?"

"Me, you and the encore"

"I like your confide"

"Thank you" and Cosmo takes the infinity gem by swallowing it and now Columbina is out of any shinning gem.

“‘Aight wanna bet? I will phisically fight you for little spoon rights!” (Amalgam!verse)

@djinmer4 @sailorstar9 @dannybagpipesarecalling @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336 @bamfoftheundead

N/A: Kitty has no idea who Creepy is. I´m taking this as a continuation from the last Amalgam! Verse.

After that night, Kitty Pryde/Columbina manages to see a lot more of Kurt Ryder and Creepy. Is true that Kitty wants to know who the Creepy is, and goes as far as to fly all around New Gotham to see if she could spot the Green wacko, but, there´s nothing indicating he is there.

Columbina is flying one more time tonight, just to make sure she didn´t miss the Green Wacko, once again, she didn´t spot him anywhere, yet, she notices something different.

A typical villain of the week who is threating to blow the building, Columbina overheard that the detectives don´t understand what lead the calm Dr Sanders to went insane, which to be fair, should be something that would be pretty obvious by now.

Columbina is not a hero and could leave, but, she is bored tonight and decides to do something. Poor crazy Dr Sanders he never got a chance against Columbina.

"Columbina!" Kurt Ryder speaks amused and Columbina wonders where this man pops up, then again, she only notices the huge crown now.

Really? An insane Dr has a gun and people are here to look? Only in New Gotham indeed.

"Well, you´re not Wrong" she jokes and Kurt Ryder chuckles at this. "How did you find out Dr Sanders´s plan?"

Columbina is still hovering in the air and let the man wait in curiosity until she confesses. "I didn´t know jack shit. I look at him and notice he look as is girlfriend break up with him and lol behold is what happened, just that"

Kurt Ryder ponders for a moment. "Are you the greatest detective alive or a seer?"

"Well, if you are the greatest detective alive...maybe I´m a seer, who knows?" and winks at him and flies away. Missing the fact Kurt Ryder is smiling way too amused.

____________________________________

Kitty Pryde does not have to worry about the program now. They are in well-deserved vacation time and people don´t seem to mind the reruns and Kitty could use that time to do anything else...but her curiosity is too much.

"Uhm, who are you, Creepy?" she said biting her nail and looking at the photos in front of her.

"I´m me, dear Katzchen!" Creepy peak climbing in her window and once again wearing almost nothing. The man has an insane smile on his face and greets Kitty in his usual way.

Kitty is not afraid of the man, even if the rest of the neighbours are more than ready to kill him if he so much makes Kitty sherd a tear(yeah, she is strangely well-liked by ex-villains and ex-vigilant here)

"Creepy! Why can´t you enter like a normal person?"

"Katzchen, I´m Nightcreeper I don´t do doors" and laughs maniacally at his own joke and Kitty covers her ears, her neighbour told to Creepy to shut up.

"What are you doing?"

"Trying to see who is you, Creepy!" she exclaims and the man only smiles wild "but no success, oh, Creepy...can´t you just tell me who you are?"

"NOPE"

Kitty is bemused at that. "Then, can I show you off to Ryder? Oh, he would be so jealousy...and he would feel so dumb, Creepy he thinks you are not real"

Creepy snickers "someone will feel dumb indeed"

_____________________________________

Columbina manages to find his house pretty quickly and she thanks the social media and Ryder´s sluttiness to allowed her to find this place, his place, and Columbina is looking at his fancy house.

He has a good life.

"Columbina, funny to see a heroine at this hour" Ryder is there drinking wine and is offering a goblet to Columbina. "What I can do for you?"

"I..." he is taking this too well and Columbina needs to assert dominance here. "I need your help, you´re arrogant, but, also one of the best detectives ever"

Kurt Ryder is smiling and his eyes do resemble a tad bit of Creepy, which is odd. "If that is about.. your imaginary friend the Creepy..."

"I need your help to find laboratory 23" and with her reply this makes Kurt Ryder stop smiling and is caught on surprise, thankfully, the man did an article about the lab...said lab was set on fire under mysterious circumstances.

And once Ryder gives the information Columbina leaves and Ryder was sure that this is not how he was planning.

______________________________

"Why you don´t believe me?" Kitty said to Ryder once they are together eating a nice pastry to celebrate the new season Kitty´s show got, she is a hell of a good comedian and Ryder can´t deny that.

"What? A hunk man enters into your apartment?" Kurt said bemused

"And he is always wearing a thong, a red thong"

"Right...A red thong, look, Kitty, if you have your kinks is fine, no need to announce to everyone else" and then he adds "unless...this is a subliminal message you are sending to me?"

"You jerk, shut up"

_________________________________________________

Columbina is looking at model photos, well, male model photos and is forming a theory. Creepy is jumping around and in a moment to make him be less crazy. "You know...you would make a great model"

"Oh...Like Ryder?" he said amused now and giving that smile that all the criminals in New Gotham fear, which is great, cause a member of a gang was hoping in sneak upon Columbina and fight her but think again and decides to go home.

"Ryder was a model?"

"If Ryder was a model, I was a model too"

"Did Ryder ever wear thongs?"

And Nightcreeper laughs amused at that.

____________________________________________

"Good morning, kitty" Ryder speaks as he completes his show, is still morning, and the woman is blushing once she sees the man.

"Ryder...are you, well, were you a model?"

"And this ties up to your investigation how?"

"Your build is so similar to him...is equal to him"

________________________________Columbina shows up in Ryder´s house and tries to lift him but fails and on the next night, she tries to do the same with Nightcreeper as well. And she couldn´t help herself by proving her strength by lifting the printer machine with easy.

"Oh no!"

________________________________________

Kitty concluded the Sketch TV´s episode and is marching to Kurt Ryder´s cabin and closes the door, the man is not afraid. "People will think we have an affair if you keep this up"

"Well, you haven´t slept around for a while, if they jump to this conclusion ...this would help too" she said and looks at him stronger "Ryder...I think I know who is Nightcreeper, but, first, I need to know, are you into men?"

"...NO"

"Then the only explanation for that is that you are Nightcreeper"

"...." Kurt Ryder looks at Kitty as she crosses her arms "Well, it took you long enough and really you thought I was interested in Nightcreeper?"

"You two would make a powerful couple"

"....I don´t know if this is a joke or not, but, I think you and I would make an even powerful couple"

"Careful, I´m still mad at you for being a jerk"

"You´re a seer then"

[kurtty-drabbles]

Amalgaverse au (part 4?)

N/A: This time is to show the non-magical part of New Gotham. They have mobs and crazy criminals too.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @discordsworld

Nightcreeper was using something similar to this.

Constantine is not a name that usually attaches in a group. The magical community is too aware and afraid to be linked to someone as higher up as Constantine. So, Kitty never really work in a group before, at least, not in a magical one.

Therefore, Kitty is a bit at loss on what to do once Nightcreeper of all heroes, decides to ask Constantine to know his friends, Dark Claw and Sparrow.

"UHm, hello" Kitty speaks feeling her heart beat faster. She is not very social as Constantine(and is slowly getting used to the routine of her "job" with Ryder) as she looks at Nightcreeper who is smiling in his usual way.

This time the man is wearing a purple shirt with boob widow and tight pants.

"Oh, Jojo Bizzare adventure" Kitty speaks remembering where she was such similar outfit, Nightcreeper is pleased and asked if she liked it, Dark Claw and Sparrow would like to not be invited to this narrative "It´s cool, much better than you go all Nick Minaj, but, why am I here?" Kitty asked unsure of what to say next.

"Ah, Kinder, I like to spend time with you as I like to know the magical community and "now the green fuzzy man pale for a moment "I won´t forget the bloody Mary´s case, however, I want to show a bit of my world"

Dark Claw and Sparrow have some reservation on this.

Now Nightcreeper teleports closer to Kitty and lifts her up as there´s this insane smile on his face.

" I guess I want to show off to you" Nightcreeper does not need to see her face to know what she is feeling. He can picture her lips parted delicately, her doe eyes focused as analysing the situation and that soft pink hue that only Ryder can notice.

"Creepy, we talk about boundaries" her voice lacks any anger or revolt but Nightcreeper puts her down nonetheless " But yes, I would like to see how JLX deals with their villains" she looks away as Nightcreeper can see her fidgeting her hands.

"You look very cute when you are shy, but then again, I think you´re cute even when you´re mad" Nightcreeper stated and bounces off like a lunatic.

Dark Claw ignores this and proceeds to explain the mission.

"Calendar man has taken some hostages in the shop and no one knows how to handle the case as the man is crazy enough to kill hostages and himself" Dark Claw now looks at Nightcreeper "so, why not send crazy versus crazy?"

Sparrow then takes the lead.

"We did catch all his henchmen. As Calendar man is alone with 3 hostages and there´s one exit, the plan is to distract him as Nightcreeper takes out the hostages" Sparrow explains and Kitty only nods.

The plan went without a stalling as Calendar Man is having a discussion on what day is today with Dark Claw that gives a performance worthy of the oscar.

"Yeah, but what day is today? Sure you must know" Dark Claw asked again confused and Sparrow agrees saying this must be a holiday they aren´t aware of it.

"Today is Tuesday, there´s nothing here" Calendar Man replied angrily at this point and then turns around to see his hostages saw there´s no one and only the smell of brimstone.

"Oh, I think is an important day, the day you´ll go back to jail" Dark Claw speaks again and now Calendar Man hears the maniacal laughter of Nightcreeper fills the room and Calendar Man resolves the matter in the only way possible. Shooting at nothing.

"It tickles"Nightcreeper shows up from the shadows and opens that lunatic smile for his "my turn" And Calendar Man run from the shop screaming and begging to be arrested.

The police noticed that his outfit is in a bad shape. The visor is on his chest and his hood is covering his face. As his shoes' laces are tied up together.

"He´s maniacal, take me out from here, please, the Hyena was right, THE HYENA WAS RIGHT" Calendar Man speaks and no one knows what to think of this situation. Dark Claw sedated the criminal and let the police take him to the Arkham.

Constantine watches the scene and wonders about the state of normality in this city.

"Sparrow, is always like that?" Constantine asked referring to the Calendar Man.

"No, sometimes is weirder" Sparrow offer this as an explanation and Kitty takes.

Meanwhile, Nightcreeper and Dark Claw talk about the case.

"From what I gather, no one was hurt, scared to death from this occurrence, but no one is hurt" Dark Claw speaks in a relief tone " you did good, Nightcreeper"

"Ah, I knew we are best friends" Nightcreeper speaks to a bemused Dark Claw " can I ask something? When I should tell Constantine I know who they are?"

Dark Claw is not surprised by this, of course, Kurt Ryder is the best detective the man ever met, even better than him.

"Look, I know nothing about magical communities, so, the only advice I can offer is...don´t be a dick, that´s it"

"Thank you, Logan, that helps a lot"

"Anytime"
