#then HE made a move

[broodwolf221]

happy friday and welcome to DADWC!! A prompt for solas/varric, if it suits: insouciant - casually or smugly indifferent; nonchalant

ahhh this one was fun but tricky! took me a while to figure smth out for it uwu @dadrunkwriting 560 words

Solas entered the main hall, planning to go to the garden, when Varric waved him over instead. After a brief hesitation he joined the dwarf at the table in front of the hearth. “I keep telling everyone that I’m going to beat you one of these days, Chuckles, and you wouldn’t want to make a liar of me, would you?” Varric pushed the parchment he’d been working on aside and pulled out a deck of cards while Solas smirked.

“One cannot make you other than what you are, Master Tethras,” he countered smoothly, watching as Varric dealt out the hand. “If you wish to stop being a liar, there is a simple solution.” Varric paused to hold a hand against his chest in mock injury.

“I am wounded. I never knew you thought so lowly of me.” He grinned as he returned his attention to the cards, Solas picking his up to examine his hand.

“I do not believe acknowledging the reality is the same as thinking ‘lowly’ of you.” He made the first move and Varric frowned at the play. Or perhaps the words.

“A storyteller and a liar are not the same thing, y’know.” Varric sounded distracted now as he focused on his hand before making his own play with a smirk. Solas hummed quietly in approval and Varric’s smirk grew.

“Certainly not,” he agreed, noting the arch of Varric’s brow. “A storyteller is a far more loquacious liar than most.” Now the dwarf snorted and Solas played the next move.

“You’re calling me loquacious? I’m sorry, am I forgetting who waxes poetic about the Fade?” Varric barely considered before making his move, but Solas wasn’t buying it. He always had a good strategy planned.

“I don’t wax poetic,” he pointed out sourly. “I answer questions and explain things in the depth required for understanding.” Varric rolled his eyes and Solas grinned. As always, the rapport was a pleasant distraction. And when he made the next move Varric’s face fell and Solas’ grin widened.

“Shit. Okay.” Varric focused on his hand for a few moments while Solas made a point of settling into the chair, eyes lidded as he watched Varric. “Anyway,” he began as he made his move, Solas frowning as he saw the other man’s play beginning to come to fruition, “I have never in my life heard someone talk about the Fade as much as you do. Much less the way you do. Most men would save that sort of language to describe a lover.”

“Hm,” he managed as he glanced between the table and his hand. “At least I save my poetic descriptions for a place worthy of them. You talk about your crossbow the way most men would talk about a lover.” He made his next move, but he was beginning to think Varric might take this game.

“Bianca? Well, she’s worth it. She likes being flattered.” He laid down his final card and Solas sighed, setting down his hand. “And see? I’m no liar.” Solas flapped a hand at him, although they were both smiling.

“Spare me your crowing, Varric. You won this time, but you won’t always be so lucky.” He got up as Varric began gathering the cards, nodding at the other man before making his way to the garden.

He supposed they’d keep dancing around each other like this.

Where is my Portal?!

So! Heroes have a bad habit of stealing Technology when they need it.

The Flash usually stole from Star Labs or any of the dozens of smaller Labs in Central City. Batman was suspected to steal Tech from Wayne Enterprises to build his gadgets. Even Superman stole from Lexcorp every once in a while, although that was more understandable considering their history.

Heroes, despite their main job being to stop people from stealing, were not exactly paragons of The Law. They committed crimes on occasion to stop Villains, and most people just agreed to ignore the tiny crimes every now and then.

Now the Big Crimes, that was a different story. Taking the big important pieces of Tech from these Labs was definitely liable to get people made at them.

All this to say, Danny was not amused when he walked into his Personal Lab one morning only to find his Whole-Ass Portal missing from it's spot in the Wall.

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

Daniel Wayne, the younger toddler brother of Bruce Wayne and the son of Martha and Thomas Wayne had been kidnapped the night their parents were murdered.

Daniel had been snagged the moment their killer heard people headed to the alley and Bruce in his state of shock didn't realize it until it was far to late and could only scream in horror (from everything) as his baby brother is crying his name. (If you wanna make it even more heart wrenching, make it Danny's first time being able to say Bruce's name right and/or Bruce had said some mean things to Danny earlier after he accidentally broke something of Bruce's, something like 'I wish youd go away' or 'I never wanted a brother, you're such a bother!')

Bruce is being held by Alfred as some police officers are chasing down the Wayne's parents killer while some stay behind to see if they could do something.

Minutes turn to hours and as they wait, praying the police at least found Danny, Bruce is ridden with guilt. From his parents death to allowing his brother to be kidnapped.

Eventually the police return to give Alfred and Bruce the news. And it's not good.

The killer escaped and Danny was nowhere to be found.

And it would take many years before he would be found.

Bruce gets a call from Damian during school hours one day. When he answers he is greeted with Damian demanding him to get to the school and explain himself.

Confused Bruce asks what does he mean and Damian responds with

"The two new students in class today are the spitting images of you and I father! Either they are poorly created clones or you have more hidden blood children!"

-x-x-

Meanwhile the very students being discussed are calling up someone too

"Ellie? Dan? What's wrong? You better not have made too much chaos already, I just paid for the uniforms for that place."

"DAD! I THINK ANOTHER ONE OF THE FRUITLOOPS FAILED CLONES SOMEHOW SURVIVED!"

"What?"

[dcxdpdabbles]

Bruce: How many children do I have?

Alfred: Have you honestly lost count?

Bruce: I know I should have about seven, give or take.

Alfred: Give or take?!

Bruce: But I just counted, and I swear there is an extra teenager in the left wing. *shows cameras on tablet* See? Who is that, and why do they have a fully stock bedroom?

Alfred: Sir that's Master Tim

Bruce: No, Tim's bedroom is on the first floor of the left wing.

Alfred: Ah, my eyes aren't as they used to be. I mistook Master Jason for Master Tim-

Bruce: Jason changed his room to the right wing, by the libary.

Alfred: Master Damian-

Bruce: Is shorter than this person and also in the right wing.

Alfred: Master Dick perhaps-

Bruce: He doesn't even live here anymore. Also who ever this is not a female so its not Cass or Steph and he is definitely too scrawny to be Duke.

Alfred: .......Who the bloody hell is this?

Bruce: I don't know! He called me Dad and asked me to sign his school trip permission slip, so I did, but I have no idea who this kid is!

Alfred: Good lord, I think I made his bed this morning. I didn't even realize it wasn't one of the children's rooms!.....he would make an excellent spy for the crown :D

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
