Clark is taking Kon and Jon out for a classic, super-style bonding flight. Just a quick jaunt around the US and back!

They don’t get far. Somewhere in Illinois airpace, they run across another family.

The three (a hulking man, a snarky teenage boy, and a cackling youngest girl, each a grayscale blur in the blue, blue sky) throw neon-lit beams of energy at one another, quips and insults flying almost as fast as they do. It looks like training. It looks like fun!

The boy of them looks like a younger version of the man. Exactly like, even. Clark is familiar with clones.

The youngest, a girl, looks like both of them, but not quite. Perhaps she will, age sharpening her childish features, but it’s hard to say. More likely, she’s the man’s daughter.

Interested, Clark introduces himself to Dan. He seems to be a hero in his own right, even if Superman’s yet to see him in action. And it’s not often Clark sees a family so like his own!

Unexpected Reunions

[Winx Club x Flora!reader x Genshin] (Very old draft)

Reader is flora

"How is flora?" A voice was heard over the holograph.

Bloom shook her head in defeat, "She won't come out of her room, not even to eat food, she only comes out for lessons but she doesn't even talk to us anymore. She also always locks the door that separates our room."

The Winx were gathered in the living area on the sofa as they talked to the holographic figures of the specialist. As of right now, Helia was not there with the other specialist as he was out with Krystal.

"She's been distancing herself ever since Helia and Krystal started hanging out with each other. I'm worried for her." Musa had huddled herself on the couch.

Stella folded her arms, "It's like she's so close to us but so far. This is not good. Can you guys try to talk to Helia about this?"

"We don't even see Helia nowadays. He's always out with Krystal." The holographic Brandon spoke.

Sky added, "Plus I don't think Flora would like us to talk to him."

Tecna sighs, "I guess all we can do for now is hope Helia realizes what is happening."

"There's no way he will notice! He's as dense as a rock!" Aisha looked frustrated.

Stella furrowed her eyebrows, "I agree with Aisha. That's it! I'm going to drag Helia to Flora and get this over with!"

Stella started walking out of the room but Bloom held her arm to stop her, "Stella no! We all know Flora wouldn't want this!"

"So what do you expect us to do? Sit here and do nothing while Flora is slowly distancing herself!" Stella said, anger evident on her face.

Bloom shook her head, "I'll go and try to ask her to come out and hang out with us again. Hold on." With that Bloom left before anybody could protest.

Musa sighed, "What shall we do? Flora is slowly getting more closed off..."

"Maybe we should just let her be." Riven sarcastically said. He looked at everybody who was now glaring at him, "Chill. I was joking. I'm sure Flora will be fine soon enough anyways."

"But what if she doesn't Riven! What if she distances herself even more than she already has!" Stella shouted. Riven was about to retort when they heard the door to the living room open.

They all looked to the door expectantly only to see Bloom look down sadly and shook her head.

They all sighed and remained quiet for a while before Brandon said, "We should end the call now. It's getting quite late and tomorrow we have school, we'll find a way to help Flora tomorrow."

They all nodded and the girls ended the call with the specialist. They all returned back to their rooms to retire for the night. ·········⋆༺𓆩❀𓆪༻⋆·········

The next day all the girls waited outside the door for Flora, expecting her to join them. Flora emerged from her room for the first time in a week since the last week had been a holiday. All the girls look at Flora and gasped, her usual hazel hair had turned [H/c] and her eyes had changed to [E/c]. Flora looked at the girls and asked, "What?"

"Y-your hair and eyes..." Stella stuttered.

Flora looked at them, clearly confused before her eyes widened, "Shit." Flora said in a language that none of the Winx understands. She didn't give them a chance to respond before she ran to the mirror in the living room, 'My eyes and hair... They turned back to when...' Flora sighed before walking back to the girls, "Don't worry about it." She said briefly before walking out of the dorm. The other girls followed her still shocked by her change of hair and eye colour. Flora walked alone while in thought, 'Why did they change color again? The only time they changed was when I was in... But that's impossible... I'm still in Alfea. Unless...' Her thoughts were stopped as she stood before the huge doors leading to the auditorium.

She entered through the doors without hesitation, chatters could be heard from all corners of the room when they suddenly quietened as they saw Flora. 'Great now everyone's staring at me.' Flora didn't spare any of them a second glance before walking to the last row in the auditorium. She sat down in one of the corners, the girls tried to look for her, thinking she sat in the front row. They were all confused before Tecna pointed to the last row at the highest point of the auditorium, the girls looked at each other before deciding to walk up the stairs and each take a seat near each other.

Flora held her right cheek with her right hand and rested her elbow on the table, 'When is headmaster going to come. It's so boring just waiting here.' While the girls were looking at Flora with concern they didn't notice the multiple pairs of eyes on them. The headmaster finally entered, "Hello my dear fairies. Today we will be doing something special due to the fact you just returned from your holiday. Today we will be joined by a few of our specialists."

The specialists walked into the auditorium, causing the Winx, except Flora to be shocked. Flora continued to stare at the headmaster with bored eyes, 'Why are they so shocked? Couldn't they sense them? But I do sense another presence that seems oddly familiar...'

"Specialist, you can choose where to sit for now." The headmaster said. The specialists, except for Helia, made a beeline towards the Winx. Helia looked around trying to find someone before he saw a familiar pink-haired girl wave at him excitedly, Helia waved back and decided to walk towards her.

The specialists looked at Flora in shock and looked at the Winx for answers. The winx shrugged their shoulders with a frown on their face. Once they saw Helia their frown deepened even more. The specialist and Winx looked at Helia and Krystal before looking at Flora.

They were shocked to see her yawning before going back to her bored expression, 'This going to be a long day...' Flora thought as she side-eyed the group who were staring at her.

"So today we will also be joined by another person. He is not a fairy or anything of that sort, but he does have powers. He is somewhat of an exchange student from a different academy, so please treat him with respect. You may now enter." A tall, attractive man who looked like he was in his late 20's came into the room, he had silver hair with streaks of white at the end of his hair, he wore a tight black compression shirt with a green cape. Flora immediately jolted up from her seat once she saw the glowing green trinket he wore on his shoulder, effectively making the girls jump too.

"Flora? Is there something wrong?" Bloom asked in a worried tone. Flora smirked and leaned back in her seat, "Not at all, Bloom." The specialists and Winx looked at Flora in shock, Flora always had a kind smile never a smirk. Headmistress Faragonda looked at the sea of students and asked, "Would anybody like to volunteer and show him around?" The auditorium was pin-drop silent until.... "I volunteer." Flora raised up her hand, the Winx and the specialists' eyes widened, everybody's head turned around to see who had volunteered. Helia didn't recognise the girl until he realised that she was sitting with the Winx, 'Flora?'

Headmistress Faragonda adjusted her glasses to check if she was seeing clearly, "Flora is that you?" Flora simply nodded and her lazy smirk remained as she saw the man turn his head. His eyes widened, pupils dilated as he let out a breathless whisper, "Y/n?" "Miss me? Haitham." Y/n gave a wink at Alhaitham and leaned back into her seat.

Headmistress Faragonda looked at the two of them, her eyes slightly narrowing before going back to normal, "I see that the both of you are already acquainted with each other. In that case, Flora I trust that you will accompany Al Haitham here at his stay in Alfea."

Y/n's smirk turned into a lazy smile, "Of course Miss Faragonda."

Headmistress Faragonda nodded her head before saying, "And everybody please do remember, Alhaitham will also be teaching here besides from listening to lessons, I expect all of you to be on your best behavior. On that note, everybody is dismissed." Headmistress Faragonda said something to Alhaitham which he nodded to before he left to the stairs.

Everybody started clearing out of the auditorium but not without a few glances at Y/n, she couldn't care less as she stood up and waited for Alhaitham to climb the stairs.

Helia was ahead of him and started to walk to Flora and the other Winx and specialists, just as he was about to reach them Alhaitham appeared out of thin air, a flash of green present as Alhaitham stood next to Y/n, "Out of all people I would never expect you to be here."

Helia was dumbfounded as he saw the man appear next to Flora. The Winx stood up as well as they introduced themselves one by one to Alhaitham, the specialists went next, including Helia. Alhaitham simply nodded and said, "Pleasure to meet you all, my name is Alhaitham."

Alhaitham then looked at Y/n, clearly not interested in the others, "So this is where you've been after defeating the heavenly principles..."

Aisha placed a hand on her hip and asked, "The heavenly principles? What's that?"

Y/n just waved dismissively then said in a teasing voice, "Oh it's nothing. Anyways... What are you doing here, Alhaitham? What could the acting grand sage of the Akademiya be doing here himself?"

The man went quiet, signaling that he couldn't say the truth in front of strangers. Y/n simply nodded, "Tell me later. Oh by the way where are you going to stay?"

"That's the thing. The headmistress told me to meet up with you then you'll bring me to her office and we can discuss my schedule there."

Musa's eyebrows rose as she heard that, "But we have classes now."

"Ah. You girls and the specialists can go on first. I have to accompany him for now. I'll probably see you girls later." Y/n said casually.

"What! You get to skip class! Not fair." Stella crossed her arms and turned away.

Y/n chuckled at her friends antics while Techna chided Stella, "She's not skipping lessons she's accompanying a very important guess, Stella." Stella pouted and stuck her tongue out, "Same thing."

The rest of the girls besides Techna giggled as she shook her head. Alhaitham placed his hand on Y/n's waist, "We've wasted enough time here, let's go." Y/n nodded and waved to the specialists and Winx.

Helia reached his hand out to Y/n but she was already walking away. The rest of the group stared confusingly at the two retreating figures.

"Hey is it just me or does that guy not like us? He didn't seem to be interested in us at all." Aisha said while placing a finger on her cheek.

“Yeah. At least he introduced himself but Flora didn’t look bothered by his behaviour so maybe that’s just his personality.” Bloom tried to reason with them.

“Or lack thereof.” Stella scoffed and huffed. “He took Flora away with him.”

Tecna looked at the retreating figures of Y/n and Alhaitham with narrowed eyes, realising that the man still had his hand on their friend’s waist. “Hey, don’t they seem quite close?”

The specialists and the Winx all looked back at Y/n and Alhaitham, Helia clenched his fists as he saw that the man still had his hand on Flora.

Just experimenting to see if yall would want me to continue this winx thing. This has been in my drafts for YEARS before I even started posting. It clawed its way out I swear. Also my writing style has evolved over the years so I swear I don't write like this anymore😭😭 I'll post a Winx x batsis!reader either in a few hours or tmr because I got basically 80% of the writing done but I need to rewatch a few episodes to see if everything makes sense

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

A random thing I sometimes think about because I can’t stop thinking about Transformers crossovers, but I feel like TFP Optimus would just be having the worst time

Not externally mind you, he’d be happy to be there and meet his other counterparts and probably see people dead in his universe still alive, or the war in better shape for them. I think the struggle would be entirely internal and about his own guilt and worthiness of his role

Because as far as I can tell, excluding the comics because I haven’t read them, I think Transformers Prime has it going the worst for the Autobots. Their Cybertron is completely dead, and with little/no hope of reviving it until the Omega Lock. His team is so small because they’re some of the only Autobots left, and most who are absent are so because they died. And his Megatron is probably one of the worst ones, despite their previous history and the significance he has to this Optimus

Like he’s super serious and stoic, and his team say it’s because he’s a Prime, they’re just like that. But then they all meet the other versions of Optimus, all of which seem to have more life and personality in them, and things are going fine for them. These other versions of him are allowed to be people, which TFP Optimus seemingly denies himself, and it proves that this isn’t a general Optimus thing, this is something particular to their Optimus, they’ve got the depressed one. And Optimus probably wouldn’t have a good time seeing that not only are they able to be more of people than him, but the war seems to be going better for everyone else as well, as if him doing this was for nothing, but it’s not something he can undo now

And then there’s Earthspark Megatron. He’d be happy to see a version of Megatron actually changed his ways, but you know it’d hurt him to see that yes, it actually is possible for Megatron to change, his just won’t. And even if the Earthspark versions assure him that it isn’t his fault, as Megatron’s change of heart was more spurred by Dorothy, though Optimus’ faith in him absolutely helped, there’d still be the fact that his Megatron refuses to change like this one. Not only that, but again, learning that his is probably one of the worst, and probably one of the least likely to change (at least without other factors). Which would be crushing because of his internal hope that maybe Megatron could change, or the significance he couldn’t help but place on him because of their past, basically all being for nothing

Edit: another related thought to the Megatron situation, I imagine it’d be incredibly vindicating for Ratchet hearing that he’s right, their Megatron is horrible and probably one of the least deserving of a second chance. And while I’m sure Optimus has always known deep down that Ratchet’s correct, he’s always held out hope that he was wrong and Megatron could change, only to see that he was the one wrong for thinking it. I mean Ratchet would probably eventually consider Optimus’ feelings on the situation, but at least in the moment he’s just feeling the vindication

And as stated, there’s the fact that seemingly everyone else is doing better than his universe. TF One doesn’t count as much, since the war hasn’t even officially started there, but the others still do. Yes Earthspark and Cyberverse have dying planets, but they’re still alive (presumably in ES’s case) and have clear ways of reviving them by obtaining the AllSpark, which was lost. And it’s probably going to hit everyone that the universe (excluding One) where Cybertron is at its best and still has a pretty functional society is also the one where Optimus isn’t the leader of the Autobots and didn’t fight in the Autobot-Decepticon War. Like things maybe would have gone better for their people if Optimus wasn’t the leader

Now yes, it isn’t his fault he’s in the worst timeline; technically that’s the writers’ fault and in universe that’s probably more on Megatron’s shoulders than Optimus’. But I can definitely see him blaming himself, as he sees that he is not only the worst Optimus in terms of personality (by which this definition is more actually being a person, not so much moral fiber), but in terms of actions as well, and what they’ve led to. Which again, is untrue, but that’s how he sees it

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’d lead to a TFP Optimus crash out, since I don’t think that’s how he’d react to it. It’d be more like an implosion probably. But it still would be interesting to explore I think

I do want a Camp Jupiter based prequel series, set during the Titan War. Five books, just like the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. Perhaps for thematic naming parallels, these five books can be called Jason Grace and the Olympians, or something like that.

But in any case, these five books would cover the events of each of the Percy Jackson books, just from Camp Jupiter's perspective. What was Camp Jupiter up to during the events of the lightning thief? The Sea of Monsters? The Titan's Curse? And so on and so forth, until we finally reach the dramatic conclusion, when Jason helps take down Krios.

And based on what I remember about how long each named Camp Jupiter character was at Camp, I'll lead in by saying: Octavian would be a main character in all five books, Reyna would be there from book three onwards (so from Titan's Curse to the Last Olympian), and Hazel might just make a brief cameo or something right at the end of the final book. Considering Octavian and Jason are the only characters I know who'd be there for all five books, that means they would definitely get plenty of time to form a friendship.

Also, since we never actually saw Koios during the pjo books or their side stories (we saw hyperion, krios and iapetus, but not koios), i'd want to feature Koios. He's the only brother of kronos that we never get to see! I mean, C'mon! Let's fix that! Also, let's see some of the other titans we never saw before. Give me the hidden side of the titan army.

moooore peter and norm swap stuff

I did not bring that up last post but the main idea was by @redtalics ^-^ yapping in tag. If you are curious. Hi

[evelynpr]

Might be a hot take as a bkdk and tgck truther here, but I find izuocha endlessly fascinating, beautiful, but also tearfully tragic.

I see their love for each other as something representative of their innocence and naivety when they only knew so little about who they were, and what was to come.

I think the main barrier of their relationship is that its rooted in how they see each other very idealistically, specifically that they're attached to the image of their Best Heroic Selves, and not the deeply selfish, destructive, freaky, and egotistical parts of them. To each other, they need to keep fulfilling that image or else that same person they looked up to would almost die in front of them, and that would be too cruel. Although that hero is still there, that same person they looked up to is not the same now because of...well...everything.

Izuku had barely even talked to girls when he first met her. She was Izuku's first ever real friend (Sorry Kats, everyone and him knows he was terrible), so he saved her in that entrance exam even if it was so dangerous. She gave a new meaning to his derogatory nickname just by being a friend that believed in him. After that, she saved him several more times (Blackwhip and Megaphone are the biggest samples iirc). It makes perfect sense that she is Deku's hero.

Ochako hardly knew what it meant to be a hero when she first got into UA. Just by reaching out to some kid tripping, she made a new friend who would then save her in that exam, then save him again in return. This boy then became someone who was always working so hard to save everyone in trouble, and she realized she wanted to be just like him too. "I want to save people"

But...Deku changes. The weight of One for All is on his shoulders and he needs someone to carry this burden with him. He continues to want to save other people at the expense of himself, still not letting his true selfishness and ego ever show- and it only grows more and more unbearable.

Then...Ochako fell in love with Himiko. Truly, relentlessly, selfishly and devotedly in love with a girl who then dies giving her blood to her- the greatest expression of love Himiko could ever give.

Not that they can't love each other because of this happening (and...so many other things oh god), I'm honestly not sure how to explain it- But them ending up together after losing that innocence and naivety? After Ochako will forever grieve the girl who showed her love in its most beautiful and ugly form? After Izuku changed so fundamentally as a person that the butterflies of a nice girl talking to you doesn't exist anymore? After that simple image of being a hero and being in love has completely changed for them both?

Even so, I believe they still love each other. There is no label I know of that can properly describe them though. They are each other's image of being a hero when it comes to saving people. Aside from Shoto, no one else can grasp the grief of the person you tried to save dying in your hands. They would no doubt try to cope with these losses together, and just try to get better together...but so much has changed. They've changed. The world changed. What are they now? Who are they now?

"What happened...to us?"
