Snowflame (singing): Oh Harley!
Harley Quinn: Not this guy. Roy, stand back.
Roy (Arsenal): Can you not say my government name out here.
Harley: Yeah, yeah, stay behind me.
Roy: Why, what is going on?
Snowflame: HEY I'M BEHIND YOU!
Jason to Roy: Get ready for this.
The trio turns around, the shorter Harley using herself as a shield to protect a confused Roy. They spot Snowflame... The cocaine powered super villain.
Snowflame: I AM SNOWFLAME! COCAINE IS MY POWER! COCAINE GIVES ME LIFE, ENERGY, POWERS MY SOUL! SNOWFLAME!
Roy: Am I high or is there a guitar riff in the background?
Harley: We haven't figured out where it comes from.
Snowflame: Harley, Helmet man... Ginger man I've never met before, how dare you return to my jungle! I sell COCAINE to give others the euphoria that COCAINE provides! They can never be as powerful as I, but the world needs-
Harley, aggravated: Stop, stop, stop! Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I get it! He gets it. You say this speech every time we have to deal with ya and turn off that guitar riff! I can't hear my thoughts!
Snowflame places his hands on his hips annoyed then snaps his fingers. The music stops.
Roy's eyes widen as he checks that the music actually stopped?
Roy: What?
Snowflame: You're no fun. Typical freaks like you who can't handle the true power that the life giver COCAINE provides!
Harley: Oh my God, Roy are you okay? Do you need to go a good distance. I know all the toxic talk is probably clouding your mind?
Roy, looking around confused: I'm fine.
Harley: You sure? I get if you need to be away from this walking drug dealer.
Roy, offended: OH FUCK YOU!
Snowflame: Have you deprived the follower of cocaine the sweet nectar as well? Red head join me and we will rule the world with the power of COCAINE!
Roy: I was never on cocaine! Harley you don't seriously think- Of course you do... of course you do!
Jason, rubbing his forehead: I'm getting a headache being around him again. Roy if you need another job he's hiring and pays in cocaine.
Harley: Hood! Stop it. Roy-
Roy: Stop calling me that! Is the name Arsenal that difficult to remember?! I was never on COKE, you jackasses!
Harley: Yeah but I know how those gateway drugs work. Snowflame, keep your distance from us we don't want your coke crack.
Roy: Those are different drugs.
Jason, trying not to laugh: You're not helping your case.
Roy walks a few feet away begrudgingly agreeing with his friend.
Snowflame: You may attempt to inflict pain on me, for I will not give up my magical powers that are provided by COCAINE! I feel no pain, freaks!
Roy: Is he ODing?
The guitar riff returns.
Roy: Seriously, how does he do that?
Snowflame: I don't know the meaning of that word for weaklings! I crave any excuse to burn brighter! I burn with thought, accelerated thought! Always moving. Always on! I never sleep!
Jason walks sits on the ground and rubs his eyes and laughs.
Jason: Okay... I can't every time... he's like an escaped mental patient.
Harley: J- Red Hood, you are insulting your boyfriend!
Roy: I'm not insulted... We're not dating! I'm embarrassed for this Snowflame nutjob and pissed off.
Harley, turning to Snowflame: See what you done? He's mad.
Snowflame: Hahahahaha! Weak! Another freak who can't handle the true flame to life! I will never give up my COCAINE! COCAINE is my God, I am its vessel and I am- am the human instrument of its will!
Guitar riff stops.
Harley checks her invisible watch.
Harley: You done?
Snowflame crosses his arms waiting a second then nods.
Harley: Goodie… can we have a moment to chat?
Snowflame: Yes, I will prepare over here! Precious COCAINE let's get started.
Snowflame sits down on the ground where a cutting board is with a large pile of white powder. He starts chopping it up and treating it as if he was eating a fancy meal.
Jason stands chuckling at the insane come addict. Harley walks to Roy and yanks him by his arm. Maintaining a safe distance from...the cocaine powered super villain.
Harley: We got about a minute, look at that man's smile. There's only one thing runnin' through that coke fiend's mind and it's snortin' coke. What’s your plan, Jason?
Roy: What if-
Harley: Nuh-uh, R- Arrow man? Nah that's not it... I forget your hero name. Red head, I can not sleep in good faith having you close to him. I don’t want you relapsin'. Sit this one out.
Harley turns Roy the other way, snaps her fingers like a parent and points the other direction. Jason chuckles.
Jason: I hate that she does have a point... But she has a point. I got a contact high punching him once, so yeah sit out.
Roy: But-
Harley: Nuh-uh. Over there.
Roy: Man. It wasn't even coke I was addicted to, it was heroin and I've been clean for years! Damn it!
Roy takes a few steps away and sits down annoyed.
Harley: Jason, plan?
Jason: Can I shoot him?
Harley: Yeah, but he’s strange. He can take a bullet so I’m not sure-
Jason shoots Snowflame five times as the man bounces around after doing his boogar sugar. Snowflame falls to the ground. Five seconds pass. Snowflame jumps to his feet.
Jason: I forgot he could do that… okay that was kind of awesome.
Snowflame: FOOLS! You think your measly human bullets can stop the COCAINE that flows through my blood! I am a TRUE GOD! Fueled by sweet co-
Roy, at his breaking point: Would you shut up!
Roy shoots Snowflame with an arrow. The guitar riff cuts off, but the former addict pays it no mind.
Roy: I didn't go through withdrawals, one relapse, custody battles and losing my father figure for some 80s villain rant!
He shoots another arrow and another, and another. Totaling to four. Snowflame topples backward. One arrow in his arm, one in his stomach, one punctuating his hip, and the last in his thigh. Snowflame remains hyped up but severely injured.
Snowflame, weakly: Snowflame ... Will tap out.
Jason claps as Roy seethes.
Roy, angry: Such an asshole. I hate guys like that. I’m going to the car!
Harley nods, appreciating Roy's resilience, at least that's what she thinks. Jason could spot how aggravated he was at a coke addict bragging about something Roy struggled with and dug himself out of that dark hole.
Harley: I'm proud of him. High-five?
Jason walks past Harley to get Snowflame.
Jason: You’re lucky Arsenal got pissed off.
Harley shrugs and high fives herself.
Harley: My years as a rehab counselor paid off.
Jason: You were a drug counselor too?
Harley: I was a psychiatrist, duh. Who did not sleep with her teachers.

Jamie and Roy spending ridiculous amounts of time together and Phoebe knowing about it definitely means that Jamie’s around Phoebe a lot more in the off-season when she’s off school and Roy’s off work but still being Jamie’s personal trainer for free (and she definitely likes bossing Jamie around just as much as Roy does and finds the ridiculous shit Roy makes him do hilarious)
And you know that thing where kids love to randomly go watch this, I can do a somersault or want to see me do a cartwheel? and then you just have to awkwardly stand there and be like wow whether they actually can do them or not (and sometimes several times in a row have to try to think of something new to say the fifth time they do the exact same thing and then look to you for a reaction)
I’m just saying at some point they’re in some park and Phoebe definitely pulls a look how good I’m getting at cart wheels, Uncle Roy! around Jamie at some point and while Roy just stands there like 🧍♂️ and gives compliments that gradually get more and more deadpan and debates turning it into saying how much more impressive that is than anything Jamie’s done all morning but he doesn’t because he’s 90% sure that would just lead to Jamie getting all indignant and competitive and proving he can cartwheel too as if Roy isn’t already annoyingly aware of that from when he was dying trying to keep up with Jamie in Amsterdam while he was cartwheeling and practically skipping
But obviously Roy not saying anything doesn’t matter anyway and Jamie turns it into being like watch this to Phoebe and cartwheeling too and turning to Roy after like well go on, tell me how good I am at that too
Roy deadpans somehow it’s far less impressive watching a grown man cartwheel for attention. It’s just sad, really
But Jamie isn’t offended at all and just shoots Roy an obnoxious smirk and insists you’re just saying that because you know you couldn’t do one. Even trying would probably end with you needing a hip replacement or something
But before Roy can even properly argue or say something bitchy back, Jamie’s turning back to Phoebe with a how about this then? But even though it’s her he asks, it’s Roy he looks to the moment he finishes running a few steps and doing a one-handed cartwheel
And Jamie’s like well now are you impressed??? And god, Roy resents that he is and he could make a dig about how useless of a skill it was as an adult and how that wouldn’t accomplish anything on the pitch and he’d just look like one of the kids that picks flowers on the pitch instead of playing or even paying attention to where the ball is, but instead he rolls his eyes and says yeah okay
And Jamie beams but he doesn’t have time to properly gloat and give Roy shit because Phoebe’s already bossing him around telling him that he has to teach her how to do that too

Okay hear me out: DC 10 Things I Hate About You AU. (I guess really it's a Taming of the Shrew AU but honestly fuck The Taming of the Shrew. Leave that shrew alone.)
No capes (although working capes into this somehow would be hilarious).
Bruce won't let Tim (freshman) date until Jason (sophomore) dates. He let Dick (senior) date as a freshman and it was a mistake, mostly because he had to listen to so. Much. Drama.
No one will date Jason because he is terrifying.
Kon (who has no money) wants to date Tim so Bart comes up with the brilliant idea that they get Bernard (who has money) to pay Roy (Dick's weird ex-junkie ex-friend who went to rehab for a while and isn't afraid of anything and also there are RUMORS about his BIG SECRET) to date Jason.
(The BIG SECRET is Lian. Roy is a Teen Dad.)
Bernard isn't the villain in this or anything he just has money.
Tim doesn't even particularly want to date anyone anyway. He's busy mousing around the linkfarm.
Maybe Kon and Bernard wind up dating???
Anyway then the plot of 10 Things I Hate About You happens, I don't have to explain this to you.
Damian is like 9 and a turbo brat to everyone all the time.
The "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" scene is exactly the same.
