Dead Man's Diner pt 2

Danny had to admit, Lunch Lady was an excellent teacher.

Sure they were blitzing though a cook book thst was more tape and hope the paper, but Danny was for once actually understanding and enjoying being taught.

Cracking an egg into a bowl, Danny held it close while whisking quickly, not fully incorporating the flour in his pancake batter before dumping a good sized dollop on the flat top, smiling from the brief sizzle that he heard.

There was a sudden cacophony sounds from the front of house (which was the dining area? He never knew that before) putting the flat top on low, Danny looked over to where Lunch Lady was floating only to find nothing.

Blinking a bit, Danny wiped his hands off OK his apron as he poked his head out, frowning at the diner car, "What was that..." his words were cut off by one of the blinds slats bending as if pried open, and as he squinted, Danny saw two figures watching from a distance ontop another rail car.

Vigilantes

Danny felt his heart flutter with excitement, while not as cool as maybe Martian Manhunter or StarFire (since y'know...fucking aliens, Space) the Gotham caped community were interesting, if only since Batman and his Flock were Sam's low key obsession, she had even gone out as Robin for multiple Halloweens, and don't even get him started on the fan theories about them all.

Smirking he tapped the bar, allowing thr blinds to snap closed, "Sam is so going to flip that I saw the Birds before her." Letting out a little giggled, Danny quickly swore as he smelt a bit of burning and rushed to flip his pancakes.

---

Tim was, in Dicks opinion, the most concerning member of the family, sure most days he gives of "miserable wet cat" energy but even then Dick had seen his little brother easily take down guys that even Bruce had trouble with.

That wasnt even touching on his um...mental quirks

The less he speaks of the time period between Bruce's and Kons deaths till their eventual return, the better.

Putting down the binoculars, Dick stole a glance over at Red Robin, who was frowning deeply at his wrist computer, scooting a little closer Dick leaned over to see what was happening, "Whatcha do~oing?"

So entranced by what he was reading Tim jumped a little, an elbow flying out to where Dicks face had been a second ago as he turned and glared.

"Don't...! Do that Wing! Ugh..." shaking his head as he let out a huff Tim took his eyes off the small monitor and looked up at the diner car, pointing at it as he spoke scornfuly.

"That place does not exist."

"Like, legally? I am sure Batburger doesn't either-"

"No." Tim said, cutting the older vigilante off, "It doesn't exist physically."

"Timmy..." Dick said as he ran through the protocols for when RedRobin got a little too many insane things in his head.

"Get that look off your face Wing, it really doesn't exist, like..." letting out a sigh, the teen tried to put his words right "Don't look straight at it but a bit to the side so it's to the side of your eye." Pointing to a middle distance a bit away from the diner cart, Dick sent a small frown at his brother but did as he was asked.

"Holy leaping lizards..." Tim, somehow, was right, since when Dick just looked about a few feet away from the diner, it started to waver turning...transparent? And a little blue? But when he looked at it closer it was just a normal, abet run down looking diner.

"Exactly, no need to bench me till Agent A stuffs me full of anti-psychotics!"

"That was one time Tim, and you were having a mental break down."

"I am not lying when I say we killed Santa Claus Dick!"

"Sure Tim...sure"

---

Danny drummed his fingers on the breakfast bar, nursing a cup of coffee as he waited for something to happen.

He knew thst he was being watched, he had a vague idea who was doing the watching, but was starting to get a bit bored waiting for them to get closer.

Pausing mid sip, a grin spread across Danny's lips, "Hey cart? Can you do something that might draw those guys over here? Let's get some customers!"

Some how, Danny's grin only grew at the rumble of the cart, and he xould hav sworn he heard a sound that was a mix between a train horn and a chuckle.

---

Tim shot his brother a stinging glare, swatting at his arm as he blushed, he did every much indeed accidentally killed Santa Claus and took an impromptu trip to Apokolips to give DarkSeid coal.

His next rebuttal to Nightwing was cut off as the diner cart shuddered as if it was in an earthquake before it stilled, and the banner that was across it suddenly gained a new line.

[JUST NOW! VIGILANTES AND HEROS GET ONE FREE SIDE OF FRIES! COME ON IN BEFORE THE OFFER ENDS!]

Tim was silent for a moment, watching the cart to see if there was any more changes before turning to Dick, who had lost the joyful energy that he always seemed to have.

"RR, plans changed, we are going to investigate inside."

Tim gave a sharp nod, his bo staff elongating as he grappled down to the train tracks below, his boots crunching gravel underfoot as he slipped from shadow to shadow, getting closer to Big C's diner.

---

Danny was in the back, flipping through his cook book as he heard a bell ring, jolting up, Danny could see through the service window and see who came in.

He had never met a real hero before, not like the two that had just came in, feeling nervous, Danny fumbled with a small notebook as he came out from the kitchen, grinning at the two Birds.

"Heya! Thanks for coming to Big C's! Names Danny and I am kinda the only one in today, what can I get you both?"

His eyes flickered between the two vigilantes, noticing new things each time he looked at them, like how Red Robin's cape had buttons instead of being sown on, or how Nightwings suit wasn't slick but actually textured.

---

Dick looked at everything he could as he stood in the diners door, it looked like a typical 50s styled mom and pop kinda place, an old radio buzzed with songs of a bygone era while the seats were cracked pink leather vinyl.

He could hear someone moving in the back, resting a hand on his eskrima sticks, Dick stalked further in, it felt real enough...

He could feel Red Robin knock into his back as the person from the back came into view, it was a teen, and holy hell did he look like Bruce Wayne adoption bait, raven hair, blue eyes and a cheesy looking grin.

He couldn't be older than Damian, who had turned 16 a few months ago, the teen was just so...tiny.

Danny, that's the name given to them, and Dick can see it, he looked like a Danny.

Pausing to look to Tim, Dick smiled back at the teen, "Well...can we see a menu?"

Injustice 2 au:Batman's Regime continued

In May, I made an au where Batman loses Gotham, nearly all of the Batfamily and Selina and it lead to Batman going down a dark path and founding the Totalitarian Regime.

Now I will continue in the events of Injustice 2.

It's basically the same story. Only it's about Clark and the Justice League trying to restore the world after Batman's defeat.

After Lex Luthor was locked up for funding and supporting the regime, he was locked up. Lena Luthor took over Lexcorp and it became L-Corp and she promised to right her family wrongs and help Superman repair the damage done by the Regime.

Supergirl lands on earth after the Brainiac destroying Krypton flashback and instead of being found by Black Adam, she's found by Clark.

The flashback instead of Batman trying to stop Clark and Diana from executing Arkham inmates. Bruce, Cassandra and Damian go to the underground of Arkham to find the escapees that managed to survive the bomb with Clark on their trail. Clark thinks Bruce is out to kill them. He's wrong. He's after something.

Instead of showing Damian's betrayal(which why the fuck would you when it's shown in the comics) we see Cassandra's first sign of reluctance and Clark believing she can be saved.

The New Titans. are the new heroes instead of just Firestorm and Blue Beetle.

Batman(Cassandra)

Supergirl

Donna Troy

Blue Beetle

Firestorm

Starfire

A lot of the events of Injustice 2 plays out similarly. Oliver and Dinah hunting Grod, Harley against Crane, Ivy and Swamp Thing and Brainiac's invasion.

The Regime loyalists lead by Lady Shiva, and Black Adam are planning a break out.

Bruce has been carefully planning behind bars in new Arkham. Able to send careful instructions to his followers who are still on the loose and those imprisoned with him. He has been carefully coordinating with Damian on what to do when they break free. "Does it have to do what we did when we found those Arkham escapees?" "Yes my son, the time has come to activate the Nightmare protocol."

As they come to New Arkham to stop the breakout. Superman realizes we can't do this alone and does something he truly hopes he doesn't come to regret. Batman is freed and the two former friends call a temporary truce.

Lot of the story beats remain the same, however instead of Wonder Woman stabbing Harley, it's Talia.

We'd get a chapter dedicated to Cassandra and Damian. Both of them hating each other, but still neither can kill the other. Damian resents her for becoming the Bat and Cassandra pities him for following father's corruption. They accomplish their mission, but Cassandra senses he did something else..

Cut to the ending.

Batman and Superman have defeated Brainiac and Superman begins the process of restoring all of the worlds imprisoned by Brainiac. However, Batman is noticeably missing for a brief period and returns.

Batman declares his plan to kill Brainiac, it's the only to save everyone.

This causes the clash. and we get the two paths. Absolute Justice or Absolute Vengeance.

Que to the fights we got in the game.

The Justice League chases Batman and Robin to the Batcave.

When they see Bruce...he's changed.

"Bruce, what have you done?"

Bruce comes out as the Nightmare Bat. Infused with Kirk Langstrom's Man-Bat formula, Crane's fear toxin, the blood of Waylon Jones, Bane's venom, and the lazarus pit's liquid injected into Bruce's veins. The Nightmare protocol has been activated.

He also has

Freeze's Ice gun

Mad Hatter's mind control tech

Joker venom

and of course Kryptonite

Bruce has found the formulas and arsenal of his old enemies, he has altered and perfected them and with Brainiac's technology he took from his ship, he has ensured that Bruce will keep his humanity.

I was inspired by the Batfeed's Batman analogue horror video.

If you chose Absolute Justice, it ends with Bruce's defeat. But the victory is not easily gained. It takes the combined might of Clark, Kara, Cassandra and a unforeseen redemption from Damian to finally stop the Nightmare Bat. and the only way to stop Bruce is to remove Brainiac's technology. Bruce screams like a demon out of hell. "CLARK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? NO!' "If you want to become a monster so badly, then a monster is what you'll be"

Bruce has become a shell of his former self, nothing but a nightmare. He's locked away in the phantom zone.

The Justice League and the New Titans vow to stop him should he ever return.

Ends with Lex Luthor returning to attack his sister. We see Supergirl saving Lena and Clark stopping Lex and with a tease of Supercorp(shut up let me have this)

Absolute Vengeance.

Ends like Absolute Power. Bruce defeats Clark and his former allies rejoin him out of fear and those who do not stand with him? He gives them one chance. Join him willingly or he'll make them join him, just like Clark and then we see Mad Hatter's & Brainiac's tech twisting Superman into his thrall.

> @datanexus   …  like thee starter.

brisk  tuesday  afternoon  &  there  was  a  flash  of  pink  barely  seen  through  a  surveillance  system.   motion  detected  flickered  on  computers   &   inward  toward  safe  have  came  koriand’r,   just  as  shimmering  as  ever   ——     of  course,   wearing  plain  clothes  down  to  the  daisy  dukes,   flannel   &   converse,  as  if  her  nearly  seven-foot  stature  wouldn’t  give  her  in  any  crowed  room.   she  knocks,   she  stands  still &  waits  for  an  inviting  voice  that’ll  never  come,   eyes  wanting  about  the  cobwebs  that  littered  the  corners   -----—     intercom  scares  her  enough  to  take  a  step  back  so  she’s  somehow  properly  in  frame:   it  repeats  her  name,   species   &   origin  right  back  to  her.   it’s  almost  neat..   if  not  invasive.    

VISITOR  IDENTIFIED as  PRINCESS  KORIAND’R.   TAMARANEAN  OF  STAR  SYSTEM:   VEGA.  CO  -  LEADER  OF  THE  TITANS.  PUBLIC  STANDING:   GOOD.  THREAT LEVEL:  PLANETARY.  SEEMINGLY UNARMED.

extended  camera  comes  out  to  inspect  for  weaponry,   right,   state-of-the-art  security  should  be  wary  of  any  threat  but…    no!   nothing  on  starfire’s  person  was  a  weapon  per  say..    unless…    anyway!   joy  bent  down  to  show  the  bag  or  three  in  her  hand   &   waved.     she  came  baring  gifts..     earthly  custom!    cheeseburgers,   fries,   onion  rings,   fried  pickles,   cheese-sticks,   jalapeno  poppers…   the  works!   serving  as  a  peace  offering  of  sorts,   or  rather  bribe     …    something  like  that.   her  words  are  muffled;   something  about  her  not  knowing  what  barbara  might’ve  wanted..   so  she  got  a  little  of  everything   ———   (    also  earthly  custom   )   the  buzz  from  the  door  told  her  she  might’ve  followed  protocol  correctly.

there’d  be  a  change  in  scenery:   starfire  in—closed  corridors,   walking  beside  barbs’  chair  in  the  gloomy  comfort  of  oracle’s  den.   it  was  only  now  that  she  realized     …    no  one  on  her  team  had  exactly  been  in  this  new  place.   odd.   it  was  almost  nice  in  a  sort—of—lacking  neon  flare,   but  positively  terrifying  sort  of  way.   not  exactly  star’s  taste  but  she  could  respect  it’s  uniqueness…     but  interior  decorating  isn’t  what  she  came  for.   she’d..   make  a  failing  attempt  at  cutting  to  the  chase.

“   i  don’t  mean  to  disturb  you…   i  know  you’re  very  busy  with  your  family.   both  of  them.   how  are  they?   “     although  this  isn’t  what  she  came  for,   obviously     …     normal  check—ins  were  reserved  for  those  she  was  certain  wanted  to  see  her.   not  that..   well..   yeah.   star  was  almost  certain  not  many  were  welcome  within  oracle’s  den:   she  wasn’t  exactly  sure  if  she  made  the  short—list.   speaking  of  the  short—list,   she’d  offer  up  something  else  before  oracle  got  the  chance  to  speak,   “   ———or  the  birds.   i  heard  that’s,   they,   your  endeavor  is  coming  in  nicely,   do  you..   do  you  like  it?   them?   “   two  minutes  in  &  it  was  very  clear  that  compassion  was  going  to  steer  her  away  from  her  goal.   if  only  someone,  anyone,  could  keep  her  on  track…

[prism-empurress]

so here's something I've put some thought into...i'll try to put words to it. When Ganthor is first introduced, he's introduced as a teenager with a bob cut, and he crashlands into Lady Greenfyre's backyard like KRRRSSCCHHHH -smashes a model ship onto the ground- and its like, bloody. he needs medical help. Neither Greenfyre or PegaKitty are licensed doctors, but injured folk happen to find the cabin all the time so it's fine. Clean up the wounds, bandage it up really good, kiss the booboos....and PegaKitty remembers she has healing powers. Maybe I'll like, have her do that at the beginning. The thing is, it's protocol at the cabin to stitch everything up first THEN do the healing magic. Because PegaKitty's healing powers don't always work. Don't worry, it does for Ganthor. Who's mute until the next day, speaking broken english. PegaKitty's like WOAH WHAT?! And Ganthor explains he and his people can learn languages almost instantaneously with physical contact. That's a nod to Starfire from Teen Titans. But Ganthor doesn't english very good so...he grabs her hand and says "language...touch. gain language" or something among those lines. What's important is; touch + language = yes language. Speech increased to 2. Skyrim skill increase jingle.

Anyway, PegaKitty asks where he comes from, what happened, what caused his asteroid shaped ship to come crashing down, Ganthor answers...as best as he can. He can only speak very simple, very broken english.

He answers...as best as he can. With a lot of gesturing and pointing and...even more hand holding to absorb more language. He figures that as long as he holds PegaKitty's hand, he'll be a fluent speaker in no time. And teenager Ganthor is tall, he stands at 7 feet tall. He hasn't reached his adult height yet. So throughout the day, and the days that follow, he's always seen holding her hand, at least until he can speak sentences. PegaKitty figures it helps him to be holding her hand, so she allows it. And it's nice. Since there's little to no material involving teenager Ganthor, the only Ganthor even MENTIONED on my "about my ocs" page, I briefly considered getting rid of those paragraphs all together! Cutting out the middle man! Being like, "fuck it, have them meet as adults??" Ganthor was originally intended to be a one-off character for a piece of NSFW fiction. But the more i rewrote it and rewrote it again and again I got attached to the character concept and thus fleshed him out to be an actual character, instead of him being this perfect like, prince charming guy to whisk the female protagonist to her happily ever after.

Yeah I was raised on disney movies. Back to...what I originally have planned. When Ganthor fully recovers from his crashlanding and gets to know the cabin folk, he explains he's actually a prince, and abandoned his throne in the middle of a war on his homeplanet.

the whole war thing is...well it's messy, there's nothing set in stone yet. bad stuff is happening, so he was like 'fuck this place' and left.

There's also ANOTHER reason why he left...and that deals with parental abuse. I'll go more in depth on that later.

So one of those ideas...might be thrown out the window. I don't want to seem like I'm taking inspiration from real life events. And I'm really sorry if it comes across that way.

to put an end to this really long post...I think Teenager Ganthor will be here to stay. I really need to update my oc page on tumblr to include his adult age as well.

[girlballs]

really hope the changes to armor stats are enough to bring some currently underwhelming exotics up out of obscurity, like. Ashen Wake immediately comes to mind as an exotic that might be more fun to use at 100+ Grenade stat (Fusion Grenades with a 60% damage buff from Roaring Flames and another 65% from 200 Grenade could be pretty scary). the changes to Starfire Protocol letting you get grenade energy while radiant might actually convince me to use it in Real Content
