OKAY also it's really funny when the dc/marvel spider-man-fall-into-dc fics work so hard around the idea of NJ people hearing a NYC accent. Bro. We know what New Yorkers sound like. NJ commuters have a looooong history with working in NYC but living in this state; the entertainment history and travel history of NJ and NYC are, like, permanently entwined. People move to and from constantly. The only thing that would make someone go "oh shit" would be a Texan accent or something else equally as distant. Midwest maybe. An NYC accent in NJ isn't really worth commenting on.

I wanted something unusual)

[dudethatsmyundeaduncle]

Jason Todd didn’t come back wrong…. he just came back with an extra passenger, you know, one that called itself Venom.

( for the record the Lazarus Pit symbiote was very polite, even if he did convince Jason to put 8 heads in a bag, and he had great opinions on pride and prejudice.)

So... continuing my thoughts on crossover ideas again, I had this thought after seeing some fanart... Devil May Cry/Marvel/Shin Megami Tensei crossover. Maybe have it be something like Nero is contracted a mission to test the Nahobino similar to how his uncle was contracted to test the Demi-Fiend, all while a different force, I'm thinking from the Marvel side of the idea, is looking to stop the Nahobino and/or take the Throne.

One idea I had for the Marvel side of things is maybe making Loki a sort of behind-the-scenes mastermind, maybe not in a bid to take the Throne but to find someone who can. Maybe he shows up to Lucifer and is like "Hello, old friend. Say... How about a little wager?" I only posit this idea because something tells me, even though I have not gotten very far into SMTV Vengeance, that Lucifer kinda likes that the Nahobino have returned. And going with Marvel's Loki, the God of Mischief is not above making things into a spectacle. Who would Loki put his bets into? I like to think he would bet on multiple horses in this race, as while not always the brightest, Loki can be pretty crafty. The ideas I have for who Loki would put stake into, and in all honesty most of my choices are some of the semi-known and some of the semi-obscure favorites of mine.

So far, for Loki's "champions," to put it one way, I'm thinking: Daken, Eric Masterson, Ben Reilly, Luke Cage and/or Iron Fist. Or maybe instead of those last two, I'll go with Victor Alvarez, who has taken on Luke Cage's hero name of Power Man but has chi-based powers like Iron Fist.

I also did just have the idea while writing this of maybe some Marvel characters are also now workers of the in-universe Devil May Cry business, so maybe they would tag along with Nero. I'm thinking that two of those Marvel characters that would are Robbie Reyes and Laura Kinney. Both have some experience with fighting demons, and I think it could be a fun dynamic to write for Nero, Robbie, and Laura. Maybe I could have it that they start by testing the Protagonist but as things go along start having some doubts and maybe start doing their own thing. I also had this idea of making Laura the Knowledge of Amaterasu, using her connection to the Uni-Power as a bit of inspiration. Also, thinking about it, Nero having a teammate who, unknown to them all, has the potential to take the Throne is a fun idea.

Another idea I had while typing this out is say making Nico Minoru into a Panagia, a Goddess of Creation, as the protagonist, with two Nahobino as the ones to sway her in choosing Order or Chaos. I don't know why this popped in my head, but I think it could be be a pretty cool idea to try writing.

My Marvel/DC crossover AU No One Asked for

Read the title. Here’s the layout.

This is an AU I’ve been sitting on for about two or three years now, and often revisit to make some changes. While this isn’t something I really shelved, I am unlikely to write any of the stories down. 

I still keep a lot of what I did write in my notes. From this AU I wrote down several prompts, some of which I already shared in other posts.

----

1. You'd think combining the Arrowverse and DCEU alone is gonna be a hassle, but when I wrote things down, the actual changes are pretty small.

The main events of the Arrowverse, DCEU, and MCU remain otherwise the same, there are a few small adjustments made here and there. Some suspension of disbelief is required. Birds of Prey was the hardest one to adapt.

Most changes are “Who plays what character ?”  

Of course, because this is a fanfic AU, we can just say "The Other Darin" trope is at play. Henry Cavill’s Superman ? Tyler Hoechlin’s Superman ? Same deal as Eric Norton/Mark Ruffalo’s Banner, or Terrence Howard/Don Cheadle’s Rhodes.

With that all said, this AU treats Grant Gustin's Barry Allen is treated as the “canon”. The indefinitely postponed upcoming Flash movie is disregarded entirely. We all know why.

Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor is also treated as his "canon" character, but he initially had the same traits and role as Eisenberg’s Luthor. I like to think Eisenberg!Luthor was fronting as “the eccentric young mogul” while Cryer’s represents Luthor going masks off.

Some fan casting is bigger issues. Mostly "casting" Diana Laurel Lance, between Katie Cassidy or Jurnee Smollett, for far reasons too complicated to discuss here.  

And finally, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is treated as canon.

2. “But where was X superhero during Y's events ?”

A lot of these events would have coincided with each other.

In this AU, Iron Man/2, The Incredible Hulk and Thor would have taken place between/around the first two seasons of Arrow. The present day events of Man of Steel would have coincided with The Avengers. Batman V. Superman and Suicide Squad would take place around the time of The Dark World and The Winter Soldier.

Age of Ultron would coincide with Zack Snyder's Justice League - also taking place between seasons one and two of The Flash, and before Supergirl's first season.

Up to speed, Barry ?

So, here’s some of the prompts I came up with for the AU.

1. Unlike Supergirl, Superman wasn't an active superhero when Kara came to Earth, but it was around the time Clark was wandering the world. During this time, Clark reached out to the Danvers family to help him understand his powers, much like the Arrowverse. 

As it so happens, Carol Danvers turns out to be Jeremiah's sister, which is how they help Clark understand his powers. Clark would build a bridge of trust with the Danvers' and brought Kara to them, as he wasn't in the right headspace to look after a child. As a result ? Kara grew up with Carol Danvers as an “Awesome Aunt”.

We’d also have a Superman prequel, also serving as a Captain Marvel crossover. For such as a story, I’d picture Ronan as the de-facto Big Bad, showing him falling out of favor with the Kree, before joining Thanos.

2. I wrote a post based on this AU, but I had this one idea of various WLW prompts for Diana/Wonder Woman. You can read the long version here.

It focused on what Wonder Woman was up to over the decades, especially those she romanced. The most prominent being Wondercarter, Wonderwidow and Superwondercorp.

In this version of Captain America: The First Avenger ? Wonder Woman was considered a battlefield urban legend, and a partial inspiration for the super soldier project. After the events of Agent Carter, Diana would become acquainted with Howard and Maria Stark, and ends up staying with Peggy and Angie as a temporary house guest on the Stark Estates.

How long Diana was involved with them isn't elaborated, but I see Tony having memories of an “Aunt Diana” babying him from when he was a little kid. Cuz we all know she would.

I don't see Tony reuniting Diana until well after he becomes Iron Man. Probably after Civil War or Infinity War. At the very least, Diana ends up another one of Morgan Stark's honorary aunts. Diana would totally be one of those aunts who’d tell Tony’s people embarrassing stories of him from when he was tot.

Another idea I had involved Sarah Rogers being Steve Trevor's sister, and her naming her son after her late brother. But I was pretty iffy about that. It came off as too nepotistic, and I felt Diana should have minimal, if any ties to Steve Rogers. Wonder Woman being the inspiration for the super soldier project should be enough, right ? 

3. This one's gonna get me fucking lynched...

So, it's come to my attention that The Batman 2022 was considered as a DCEU prequel early in development. At the risk of being mauled by both Battinson and Batfleck stans, I'm applying that here.

In this AU, an altered version of The Batman occurred, the main difference being it was set in the late 90′s to early 2000′s. Technology adjusted accordingly, and the Riddler’s platform is old web forums, such as IRC chat (or if set around 2003, MySpace).

Anyways, Battison would have represented Bruce Wayne in his early career as Batman when he first became a symbol of hope, while Batfleck represents his “Broken/Fallen Hero” stage. After all, you can't have a “Fall From Grace” period if you never had anything to fall from...

*prepares myself for the pitches and torchforks*

4. As I said above, the “present day” events of Man of Steel would have taken place alongside The Avengers.

Zod's attack on Metropolis occurs at the same time as the Battle in New York. Neither Zod, nor Thanos and Loki were aware of each other beforehand; it was just dumb luck their invasions occurred at the same time! Still, people initially thought Zod, Loki and the Chitauri represented the same threat. 

Any attempts by S.H.I.E.L.D or the Avengers to look into Superman yields the same results as this scene.

As with the DCEU, Superman was a controversial figure at first, with the Avengers having mixed thoughts about him. Unlike Batman, they didn't act on their suspicions, beyond a few cautious encounters.

Iron Man 3 would have taken place between Man of Steel and Batman V Superman. Superman tried to to look into “The Mandarin”, and teamed up with Steve and S.H.I.E.L.D to do so, but they kept running into dead ends. They were unaware of Aldrich Killian’s conspiracy until after the fact.

5. This is also something I covered in my Wonder Woman WLW prompts. 

This AU's Infinity War takes place alongside Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths. It's retroactively implied that recreating the universe is what led to this world merger.  

Certain members of the Justice League - Wonder Woman, Batman, Aquaman, and Cyborg - anyone not with the Paragons, join the fight against Thanos, though don't do enough to affect the outcome. 

Out of them, Wonder Woman is the only survivor of The Snap and she helps the surviving Avengers - especially Natasha - and what's left of S.H.I.E.L.D hold down the fort for five years.

WonderWidow ensues.

The Paragons survive the Snap because of their multiversal adventure; when they return to the recreated Earth, five years have passed. Agents of Shield is also canon to this AU, and its characters survive the Snap due to the time travel in season seven, returning to a Post-Blip world.  

The final fight with the Anti Monitor would have occurred at the same time as the one with Thanos. As with Infinity War, any members of the Justice League not fighting the Anti Monitor, join the fight against Thanos, albeit not affecting things in a significant way. The events of a Post Endgame/Crisis world remain unchanged, with minor exceptions.

But also Supercorp is canon here because I said so.

While I’m at it, let’s talk the Superwondercorp arc I wrote.

Diana settles in Star City for a short “vacation” after keeping the world together for five years. There, Diana starts a love affair with Kara and Lena. Diana has an arc about opening her heart again, so soon after losing Natasha; whenever she loses a lover, it usually takes years or decades for her to open up again. When she develops feelings for Kara and Lena so quickly, she feels like she’s “betraying” Natasha.

Diana would later get involved when Gorr the God Butcher steps into the picture, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

6.  Birds of Prey was the hardest to include in this AU due to how radical difference between takes on the characters in the DCEU and Arrowverse. 

Here's what I'm working with.

With Helena Bertenili, I lean to her DCEU counterpart as being her “canon” character. Since I place Birds of Prey in a Post-Crisis/Endgame era, we could handwave it as being her history changing when the world's restored.

With the Black Mask, I had an (admittedly contrived) solution. This AU would have two Roman Sionis' - Sr. (Peter Outerbridge) and Jr. (Ewan McGregor). 

McGregor's Sionis is written to be a decade or so younger than he is in Birds of Prey. Junior was far from Roman Sr's favorite child, alluding to his daddy issues Harley mentions. Following Roman Senior's downfall, Junior becomes obsessed with upstaging his father as the Black Mask, leading him to be the monstrous crime boss he was in Birds of Prey.

Then you got Dinah Laurel Lance, and her fan casting. I'm still flip flopping between Katie Cassidy and Jurnee Smollett, for reasons too complicated and distracting to go over here.

The solution I'm leaning to is having Smollett's Dinah being a multiverse displaced individual, and she's adjusting to this new world when her Earth was destroyed by the Anti Monitor.

7. Stark Industries and Wayne Enterprises had history. Stark Industries bought stakes in Wayne in the late 90's and early 2000's, when Bruce wasn't as active with the company, but that partnership slowly dissolved when Obediah Stane was in the picture.

When Tony went public as Iron Man, along Stane’s crimes being exposed, Bruce Wayne cut further ties with Stark. Such a relationship would bring unwanted attention to the technology Wayne Tech is developing, putting too many identities at risk. Afterwards the only ties they had was that many Wayne employees were former Stark employees. 

This becomes a problem when Quinten Beck enters the picture. 

Beck reaches out to a few disgruntled ex-Stark employees, many of which are working for Wayne. As part of the Mysterio conspiracy, they embezzle a billions from Wayne Industries, and steal its technology. As a distraction, they stage a heist on Wayne Tech, and frame the Joker for the deed.

Bruce isn't made aware of this until Mysterio goes public, quickly recognizing Beck as an former Stark employee he turned away due to him being a “flight risk”.

Come Far From Home/No Way Home, Batman is going into detective mode uncovering and dismantling the Mysterio conspiracy. This is part of what exonerates Peter, along with Matt Murdock’s own “investigations”.

During Peter’s case, Batman tries to reach out to him; but Peter knew Batman's reputation (which has become more sketchy following BVS), and became very defensive in their encounter, despite Batman avoiding his past mistakes. 

Even so, Bruce had to attend a number of legal proceedings, regarding the Wayne employees, and he'd have to go underground as the investigation got too close to exposing the identities of his associates.

As a joke, we'd have a scene where Bruce (Affleck) and Happy (Favreau) are both at a meeting with Matt (Cox) and Foggy (Henson). It really doesn't amount to anything but a throwback to 2003's Daredevil; “Hey, look! It's the old Matt and Foggy interacting with the new ones! Ain't that a hoot ?!”

While much of the Mysterio conspiracy was exposed by the trial and investigations, the only member to escape was William Ginter Riva. The last we see Riva, he's bound, gagged and being dragged through a warehouse by a couple of thugs towards the Joker, whose not amuse that Batsy hospitalized over something he didn’t do. 

The Joker then pulls out a crowbar and prepares to show Riva how he previously Batman off the deep end...

8.  As for this AU’s No Way Home. This one was a lot of fun.

Peter has a little more public support here than he did in NWH, with several members of The Avengers and Justice League publicly vouching for him. Especially after Murdock and Wayne’s investigations.

Coincidentally, Peter's identity is doxxed the day after Kara Danvers revealed her own identity to the public. When Peter is exonerated, Kara and Catco become Peter's most vocal supporters, countering Daily Bugle. Kara - as Supergirl - even interviews Peter and those close to him after his trial as a show of solidarity.

Jameson tries to interview the elderly Steve Rogers, hoping that an “old and wizened soldier” (who previously fought against Spider-Man) would appeal to his audience...only to hastily cut the interview short when Steve ultimately speaks in Peter's favor.

When Hardy’s Eddie and Venom are pulled into this world, they end up settling into Star City, working for Catco as a reporter. Mainly because, I just wanna see the dynamic Eddie and Venom would have working for and/or with Kara. Especially in a world where not only aliens are public knowledge, but are active members of society.

I wrote another post - “What if No Way Home Had More Visitors ?” - and while this AU had nothing to do with that prompt, I’d probably carry some ideas here; such as Topher Grace's Eddie/Venom being pulled into the MCU, as is Dane DeHaan's Harry Osborn, and possibly TASM's Gwen and George Stacey. Another thing changed is the villains (and Toby and Andrew's Peter) were trapped in the MCU longer than a few days. Let's say a month. Long enough for the Green Goblin to become a bigger menace than he already is. Throughout, I see the Goblin going about facing Sam, Bucky, The Defenders, what's left of Team Arrow, the Bat Family. He’s even prepping his weapons with kryptonite incase Kara or the Kents wanna throw hands.

Peter trying to cure and fix the villains also takes place over a longer period. If L-Corp had a branch on the East Coast, I can see Lena starting a partnership with Stark Industries following Tony's death. 

When word reaches Kara (one of Peter's most vocal public supporters) and Lena, they let Peter set up shop in their labs. Eddie and Venom would actually be part of the story, working for/with Kara. The fact that Lena is a practicing witch could be used to play her up against Steven.

I don't see the Avengers or Justice League helping with the Statue of Liberty fight, if only because (much like Peacemaker) by the time they arrive, Peter’s already beating down the Goblin. Hardy's Eddie/Venom, may have helped...preferably if Grace's Eddie/Venom was part of the Goblin’s squad.

9. Now you may be wondering how this AU affect the multiverse ? I had a few ideas. 

I had this one joke in mind were Toby and Andrew's Peter(s) remark Batman and Superman existing in their worlds too; it being implied that either Burton's Batman would be in the Raimiverse, or The Dark Knight Trilogy being in the Webbverse, etc.

Part of this joke is Toby's Peter doing some investigating in the MCU, and comes across Nelson and Murdock Law Office. It'd be implied that Daredevil 2003 is part of the Raimiverse. Seeing them at their offices, he briefly mistakes Happy (Favreau) and Bruce Wayne (Affleck) for Foggy and Matt, before being corrected. In another joke, Toby’s Peter would see a mugshot of Adrian Toomes, once momentarily mistaking it for his worlds Bruce Wayne before correcting himself.

10. My latest prompt for this AU involves Wonder Woman in Thor: Love and Thunder. And before you ask, I wouldn’t Diana and Thor aren’t rebounding off eachother here. Any relationship they’d have wouldn’t go past platonic.

Considered Diana having some involvement with The Eternals, but I couldn’t think of a way to write her in. With Love And Thunder at least, Diana has something to do, even if she doesn’t drastically change the story.

After spending some time in Star City, Diana goes on tourist travels, paying New Asgard a visit. It just so happens to be when Gorr abducts the Asgardian children. As Wonder Woman, she joins the fight with the Shadow Demons, before joining Valkyrie, Thor, Jane and Korg on the rescue mission. 

Besides rescuing the children, two things catch Diana’s attention. 1. The existence of the Necrosword, especially since as far as she knew, she was the “God-Killing Weapon”. And 2. The fact that Omnipotence City exists and her father, Zeus, is alive.

Zeus has a slightly bigger purpose, and the “don’t meet your hero” thing strikes harder for Diana. It goes without saying that the heroic stories of Zeus that Diana (and Thor) grew up had a few embellishments. But this Zeus is a little more nuanced than being a “Fake Ultimate Hero”. 

The heroic Zeus stories were broadly true, it’s just this Zeus is a foil to Thor and his arc. Zeus is what Thor could have become if he didn’t humble himself. And after driving off Darkseid, as well as Ares' fall from grace, Zeus is also what Thor would have become if he kept up his maladaptive coping habits post Infinity War.

Another change is that Thor and co wouldn’t leave thinking Zeus was dead; before they escape, Diana tells an injured Zeus off. Zeus tries to appeal to Diana as her father (and offers her her picks of men and women in the gods orgy). Diana rebuffs Zeus, declaring “I am going with them. I am gonna be what the Amazons were made to be. What you made me to be.” 

Diana leaves Zeus in his humiliation....only to become another target of his revenge.

Beyond that, I see Diana being “heart” of the team. With her history of love and loss, she would understand what Thor, Jane, Valkyrie are going through and have gone through. She even tries to appeal to Gorr when she learns how his god failed him. Even so, I don’t think it would affect the outcome that much.

Beyond the Zeus plot, Diana would ultimately be another voice to say what they need to hear, and the ear to listen to their problems. I did consider a Diana x Valkyrie subplot, but even that doesn’t drastically affect anything.

----

As of this post, the AU is currently on hold.

I’m still mulling over new ideas, but besides Black Adam I have nothing new from DC to work with, or to include in Wakanda Forever. Especially between seasons of The Flash and Superman & Lois. And especially with James Gunn apparently rebooting the DCEU.

So pending new releases, that’s all for now.

"He nevah takes a hint, does he...?" Harley huffs, fingers flying across the screen of her phone. Somewhat outdated, but it was a good price, worked better than her old stuff...and was relevant to the universe she was situated in.

Had been "situated in" for a few years, if anyone cared to pay attention! (She...sort of did. Not enough to sweat it anymore, anyways.)

Now, if only the costumed goofball she'd gotten attached to would reply to her texts...!! The world (and greater multiverse) would be better off for it.

[jokers-diamond]

{ For a peep of context on Harley's Adventures in Marvel... Have a snippet of our current spot in the RP. Cause I'm about to go back to idling for a bit- }

There was another moment.. Peter had a hard time not looking confused for a second, the way Harley powered through something she was about to say to change the subject as quick as she could.

He gave a smile back, though his eyes probably betrayed the fact that he was really trying to figure Harley out in that moment..

At the very least they had an incredibly comfortable place to lay their heads, what else? Who knows? Who even needed much else than this in life? A cozy place to rest, a roof over their heads, a great dinner just prior...

This was the kind of life that Peter thought about every now and again, wondering if it would even be possible.

"Yeah... Hey, Harley?" Peter had let things hang in the air for a minute or two, but he needed to ask something to keep his brain from scrambling with what if thoughts.

He just turned his head to look at her, "I-It's hard for me sometimes to really broach subjects and stuff, talking is... Well, we were already just talking, but like, talking talking can be kind of tough for me." He was really losing his tracks. "Okay... I sort of just do all my coping on the fly, and sometimes that makes it hard for me to remember to check in.. So, are you okay, Harley?"

"I mean, like.. Just okay, I already know you've seen your share of broken windows and explosions, but... I gotta ask.."

"Mm?" His call to her attention had her, immediately. Eyes opening again to watch him, smile slowly fading as she watched the troubled look in Pete's expression. Lots of thinking going on in that head of his… Did a metric ton of it- if not more- but always showed it… A feat lost on Harley, lest she was purposefully playing it up. Charming…and a little weakness of his.

She did love it, though. Would be impossible to reject any bit of him… Which made the clone situation trickier, but she was trying.

She waited patiently for Peter to figure it out. Put his words together, and all that fun stuff… Expecting it might be something a little close to the chest- maybe he'd pry about her past, after all?- only to be…shocked by where he ended up, by the end of it. Brain jumping ship and going blank, as Harley had to suddenly process…being cared about? Right now? A wellness check…from boyfriend???

Hello, outside of the wheelhouse! It's been a minute since she was put back outside and thoroughly stumped over basic kindness.

"I… Uh-?" Peter could practically hear her brain struggling to reboot; eventually just shaking her head a bit to force the damned thing to do something-!! "I'm…tryin' ta handle it?"

Partial honesty felt about right. How long she could hold that, on the other hand? …One could hope.

"It's…a lot. Certainly didn't deal wit' a whole lotta clones back in Gotham," she mused, with an uncertain laugh. "I heard we once had ta deal wit' a machine version a' Batman, but…" A pause. "This is pretty different. An' weird.

"Don't wanna go smackin' ya clone around, even with tha' shit he's pullin'. But he also… Seems ta take my prior abuse as a challenge ta fix my brain right, so-" It brought back a fleeting thought; eyes going wide and sitting up. "Wait, that's right-!! I wanted ta show ya how it worked! Or, I thought a' it, wasn't sure, kinda forgot-"

Shaking her head again, this time to move the thoughts away. More importantly-!!

"Pete. I wantcha ta slap me. Hard enough ta sting, if ya would."

Thankfully Harley responded well enough to the question, in that she actually responded and, after some hesitation, told what he could tell was true. It felt good to just- talk about things, even if they weren't great, and have that be a good discussion to have.

Couldn't exactly blame her for feeling that way about his clone, but the mention of him seeing her abuse as a challenge brought a bit of confusion before she shot up!

Now Peter was back to confused, and concerned. Immediately followed by-

"Wait what?!" Pete couldn't even begin to wrap around what was going on at this point. She just mentioned showing him how something worked and now they were somehow wrangled around to a request he was not expecting at all. "H-hold on, you want me to- Why?"

A whole lot of confusion bouncing around in his brain, and worries that somehow she thought she'd done something bad, and this was going to somehow make things even.. He didn't want things like that to even be considered, but the way she said it, it seemed so.. matter of fact.

"Okay- Say I do agree to this.. What exactly am I supposed to be shown out of this..?" He was super nervous, not that he'd hit Harley too hard, just that he'd be hitting Harley with intent to harm even a little bit.

How she didn't expect him to react this way was…. Well, it's only something Harley could pull off, is the short of it. Blinking at his shocked, concerned reaction before deciding that she just needed to explain more, is all! It would be good for them both! In a way! Peter gets an example of how the rougher parts of her romance with J effected her brain and… Maybe if she's lucky, a bit of bite to their relationship will ease the doubts the clone-Pete's put into her brain…?

Weirder things have happened. Her pain is tied tightly with pleasure, so anything could happen!

"Okay, so-! We talked about Kraven. First time? That's a big ol' my bad in thinkin' I coulda fucked around an' we'd get closah. Lesson learned," Harley said, sitting up into criss-cross. "Howevah… Both he an' ya clone clued in that I just…crumble at some roughhousin'. Too much like home… Like Joker." A heavy sigh on that one. Fuck if that breakup couldn't just…insta-heal, already…!!

"Now, Kravy don't work when I know he's a hyena killah. I might be odd, but I got my standards!! Ya clone, howevah… He seems ta know more. An' is dogged on usin' it against me." Harley straightens up a little, looking way too okay with the conversation that is happening, right now.

"So… Worst comes ta worst, first a' all, seein' fa' yaself how it works!! Consida' it, like…science." Not really how that works, but go off? "Secondly… Who knows! If he ends up scramblin' my brain a lil too hard or gettin' me ta doubt stuff I'd know are true… Whammo!" An acted, soft, but sharp enough for a crisp sound slap; her fingers hitting the opposite palm. "A lil pain does wondahs fa' tha' brain.

"…Mine, at least. Can't speak ta it workin' fa' anyone else…"

So... with Marvel, particularly X-23, on the mind a bit lately and wanting to get back into my SMT V: Vengeance playthrough, I kinda got to thinking of what would her role be in an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU. Taking some inspiration from the time she was Captain Universe, maybe she could be a Nahobino? Or maybe she could be someone like Tao or Yoko? Or maybe the Tao-like or Yoko-like role could go to a different character?

I do know if I write something for an SMT/Marvel Crossover AU, I would like to do something with Thor, both versions, where it's something like Eric Masterson is SMT Thor's Knowledge. Or maybe have it be Kevin Masterson, Eric Masterson's son? I also just had the idea while typing this of maybe writing something with Andi Benton, maybe making the Mania Symbiote like Aogami while Andi is the human who bonded. Maybe I will go with that instead, maybe so that I can try writing something with Andi meeting Nico Minoru and Laura and them going on a journey similar to what the Nahobino and company do in SMTV. Or maybe I could go with a combination of these ideas? Have Andi and Laura in roles similar to Tao and Yoko while whoever I make Thor's Knowledge is the protagonist?

Another idea is having Franklin Richards as the protagonist, with Rachel Summers as the one with a kinda similar role to Tao or Yoko. This idea popped in my head when mulling over the many possibilities for an SMT/Marvel Crossover. Franklin has cosmic power in the comics, the ability to create a miniature universe, while Rachel is one of the hosts of the Phoenix Force. Obviously, for this crossover idea, I will depower Franklin a bit, and I will probably try thinking of a mythological being for him to be the Knowledge of.

Without the added pressure of a classroom full of people locking their eyes on you, settling the whole weight of their expectations on your shoulders, Brandon realized it was easier to concentrate on one thing at a time. Sure, there were many factors added to this particular equation —like the fact that no bustling sounds were bombarding him from every direction or shiny things grabbing his attention— but, truly, he hated how many people were right about one thing in particular: if you set your mind to one task only, concentration won't be a problem. What they weren't right about was how Brandon's mind couldn't focus on one thing at a time for extended periods of time before it inevitably wandered, but he was working really hard now for Walter's sake.

Of course, the man had to go and put his determination to the test by pressing himself closer to Brandon, grabbing him by the wrists and basically kissing his ear. His concentration almost shattered the second he felt contact, but the younger man gritted his teeth and pushed through the distraction with difficulty. He could do this, right? He could focus on something that wasn't the warmth of Walter's skin or the sweetness of his smell. He could allow himself to be guided through the gentle dance the other was putting him through without breaking his concentration, without letting his rampant feelings get in the way, right? He swallowed hard, breathed through his nose, and pushed and pulled with the lull of Walter's movements. He even opened his eyes when instructed to and saw the slithering stream he had created.

"I-- I did that?" the question was rhetorical, of course. He could feel that tell-tale pull on his gut, right behind his belly button, that let him know it was his power controlling the elements. "Look, Walter--!" The younger man turned his head a small fraction of the way, momentarily forgetting how close the other was... and then everything stopped.

Their noses bumped. Brandon gasped and closed his fists. Instead of dropping back onto the stream, the small boa of water he'd manipulated froze mid-air, in time with the skipped beat of his heart. How he managed to do that, Brandon didn't know. As much a prodigy as he was, that had never happened before, but that was for a later analysis. Brandon stood still for a second or two, the tip of his nose still touching Walter's, and then he took a step forward, away from the man's embrace.

"Uh-- sorry. Sorry, I forgot how close you were. I uh--" but he trailed off. What exactly could he say in such a situation? "Thank you for helping me concentrate?" And yes, it was poised as a question because Brandon himself wasn't sure of what he wanted to say.

He remained close to Brandon in order to ensure that his presence would soothe him and help him block away any and all other external factors. He didn’t want for Brandon to feel pressured. They were not in a tight schedule that demanded students to master their abilities in record time. To master their gifts was not something that happened overnight. There were even some adults that had issues with their own powers, no matter how many tries they attempted to master them. That didn’t mean that they were broken - but it meant that there should be no pressure to achieve such a goal. Walter often liked to compare mastering their abilities with the flow of the water. It was a simple analogy really: if it was a small stream, one could direct the path by adjusting the flow. It was easy to make it bend or stop it on its tracks. But when one’s abilities were similar to the raging sea on a storm – there was no containment. There was no chance to push it away or make it cease. One simply had to ride it out. Way for it to pass.

“That’s it.” Walter kept his hands on Brandon’s shoulders, feeling his body relax as he slowly centered himself and became more attuned to his surroundings. Nothing else mattered now – just the sound of the water rushing down, the sensation of how the cold wetness would feel on their skin. “Keep breathing.” His hands slid down Brandon’s shoulders down to his arms, long fingers gently grasping at his student’s wrists as Walter did his best to guide Brandon’s movements. It was like a dance, really. There were no one, two steps but the elegant movements were incorporated. “Don’t lose focus on the water.” His lips brushed gently over the shell of Brandon’s ear as Walter guided both of the other man’s arms up and then down, left and then right. “Don’t resist. You are one with the water you now feel.” Again – up and down, left and right. Walter’s gaze turned to the stream – the water raising from its designated path to slither in the air like a snake enchanted by the musician’s flute. Up and down, left and right. The same pattern over and over again. “Don’t lose focus, Brandon…” Fingers gaze the other man’s wrists a gentle squeeze, reminding him that he was still there. Right behind him. “Open your eyes now – see what you accomplished.”
