His head lolled back, a smile on his lips for a moment as he gazed over the room. There were so many people, and had he been more sober he would have been trembling from the nerves that came with being in such a loud, cluttered place. 

But this was his place.  And for the first time in a long time, he really felt like it was. 

He stood up from the blush, soft pink sofa that was situated in his own section of the bar, and wiped his hands down white skinny jeans. It only took him a few steps before he was stumbling into another body, his own inebriated form landing firmly on his ass. “Ouch,” A soft whine as he sat on the ground, a pout pulling at his lower lip. “You need to watch where you’re going– do you know who I am?” His tone had meant to be more threatening than it was, but Bambi just slurred through it all. 

“ i have no idea what you’re on about. “ malia as honest as always, too honest but what could you do ? “ i think you might have had too much to drink, where are you headed ? perhaps you need someone to walk you home. “

The holding on tight, had certainly caused his mind to draw a blank. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d heard that sentence spoken to him.. Nor could he remember an exact circumstance where he was reserved to do so. It felt silly, and awkward, but the excitement in a new experience had him questioning the darker preserved thoughts in his mind; the ones that warned against physical touch. Though after an initial short grip, the death flashes were lacking. The young woman had a long life ahead of her, which caused Eric to smile and tighten his grip. He offered a meek and weary tone, “  O-kay.  Not too fast, I hope, just about half spee–?  ” His speech was interrupted by the effects and pull in the speed of light.

long before eric had gotten the words out of his mouth, rosella had been off -- not going nearly as fast as she normally would have alone, but all things considered it was still quick. it taking no time at all before they reached the destination and she skidded to a stop. a quick glance at her and anyone would have been able to see the look in her eyes, the one that said ‘god did she love running’ and she certainly did, there was nothing like it. the feeling the electricity racing through her body, the wind in her hair and how it never ceased to be incredible. she glances over at her companion. “ you alright ? nauseous or anything ? what did you think ? “

“Sir, your card has been declined.”

“What about this one?”

“This one, too.” 

“Even that one?”

“That one had insufficient funds.”

“But I come here lots and I’ve paid every time, maybe I can pay tomorrow?”

“I’m sorry, we can’t do that.”

“I just forgot to bring cash, it’s just a coffee and-”

“Listen, kid, you’re holding up the line here.”

The student was close to tears, his voice already bordering on whiny as the temptation to just use his power of persuasion to make the barista give him the coffee for free. It wasn’t like he wouldn’t come back later to pay for it, he just wasn’t used to not being able to rely on his cards. Being broke sucked.

(Not that he really knew what it felt like, even now that he’d been cut off by his parents. His boyfriend had enough money to his name to provide for the both of them. He just didn’t like the feeling of having to rely on his partner to pay for things that he used to be able to afford.)

With a trembling bottom lip, he turned around to look at the person behind him, eyes wide and pleading. “Could I borrow some money? I can give you my number and I can pay you back as soon as possible? I promise I have it and I’m not lying or trying to get a free drink, I just–”

Got recently disowned.

“Um… I have a problem with my cards…”

“ yes, of course. “ long before even being asked rosella was reaching into her crossbody bag and pulling out some money. “ believe me i’ve been there. “ and she certainly had, until she had gotten her nursing job; now money wasn’t as much of a struggle as before.“ don’t worry about paying me back, just pay it forward next time you see someone else in the same predicament. “ a warm but friendly smile on her features.

       “So…”

Robin flops on the seat next to the other, his fingers anxiously fiddling with something hidden between his hands and he bites his lower lip nervously, dying to tell someone about this so they could tell him he was just seeing things, that it was still part of the trauma, that this wasn’t real.

                       “…can you keep a secret?”

“ so.” luna repeats, with that of a teasing smile. “are you kidding ? of course i can ! is it like an exciting secret ? because that might be way harder. “ but to be fair, with her secret identity she’d say she was an okay secret keeper. “ go ahead, i’m listening but no pressure or anything.”

“ i’m sorry, it must be really hard to lose, but i don’t know what that is like, i am the best at everything i do. ” with a small laugh, viktor turned his attention elsewhere, found a garbage can a good distance away from them, atop of it, half hanging out, there was some subway wrapping. “ there, through the paper. i’m sure you can’t get that. ” he chuckled. with a tiny shake of the head, viktor stretched out his arm, yawned as though it was effortless. “ no need to sonic scream when i’m already the best person at shooting arrows in this city. ”

malia looks unimpressed, but in reality she is slightly impressed. “ yeah, whatever. “ she scoffs. “ don’t make me regret deciding to join you. “ truthfully if she CARED what people thought, she wasn’t sure she would have survived this long in life. it was annoying but she didn’t care that much. at the new target she lines up, and an arrow soars through the air landing in the center. then another arrow a second later. “ whatever helps you sleep at night, but i really don’t think anyone says that about you. i on the other hand have definitely been told that. fastest too. “

The ghost of the pains would likely follow Eric into next week. He tried to focus on her speech of morality, which was something he could admire. He nodded a long, sweetly to her responses. Though, he wanted to dispute her notions of him, he wouldn’t. Those thoughts were reserved for internal dialogue and were to be argued in his own headspace. A grimace would follow her words, as well as a courteous nod to express thanks for the comment.

“  Sometimes in my profession, I’m often the bad guy that speeds up the writing process.  ” he sighed. “  Those are wise words I needed to hear.  ” 

Revisiting her initial offer, a  lift in the eyebrows magnified the already budding intrigue. Did she perhaps mean to tell him that for a moment he could travel alongside and counter everything he’d just said about being speedy? It was quiet a bargain. In fact, in his mind, if the exact location was a hospital for check ups, the nurses could firstly cure any nausea that would come. “  I think… I’m willing to try anything once?  ”

“ sometimes it has to be that way. nobody blames you for it, i’m sure. i’m happy to help. “ rosella knew, herself what it was like.. as a nurse and seeing others turned away, or WORSE. “ okay ! just hold on tight and don’t let go. we’ll be there before you know it. “ a wide but confident smile on her features, as she offers her arm for eric to hold onto. it nothing out of the ordinary to her, and she truly was excited to show how it worked.

there’s something calming about the city at night, something that raven likes to call home. but it’s also dangerous and she knows that, part of what draws her out during the dark hours of the day. there’s not much out this time of the night but she finds people anyway, wandering up regardless if she knows them. “what’s something you want to do right now?”

“..huh.” luna ponders it for a moment, as her features light up with the resemblance of a light bulb turning on. “i’d love to go for a swim, but all the pools are closed. it’s been too long since i’ve done that.” it used to be something she liked doing but it had been ages. “how about you ? what about you ? “

“Yeah! I mean, I think so,” he offered. Rohan found his company in interactions like these–he didn’t have a clique, per se, but rather people he liked to bombard now and again with his nonsensical stories. “You, dear Luna, are a diamond in the rough. You should be put in some kind of clone machine so other Luna’s can be dotted around the place.” 

“ okay then, it’s a good thing.” luna is smiling widely, and that causes it only to further. “ stop ! i am not. but thank you for thinking so. i could say the exact same about you, and i don’t know if anyone would appreciate that. isn’t just one of me bad enough ? “ at that she’s doing a mixture of giggling and laughing, her nose scrunching up in the process. “i would get ton of stuff done and the other luna’s could make others smile. anyone ever tell you, you have brilliant ideas ? “

“I can do that. It’s just like being on a very expensive roller coaster that makes your ears pop. I think if we ordered an in-flight drink, you’ll be fine.” Iris laughed behind her hand. “I’d love to see the castles. I like all things creepy–we’d have to make a stop at Nessies’ Lake, too.”

“which is probably another reason i’ve never been on a plane.. because i dislike roller-coasters, love the slow rides and the ones without the loops. but we can do that order some in-flight drinks and some peanuts. do they still have peanuts ?” luna laughs, a wide smile across her features. bright enough too that the sun could be jealous. “same here, i love castles. and stop ! i love myth related stuff too and some creepy things, so of course nessie’s lake is a must.”

            “   is that a   REQUEST  to hear more   ?   “  she questioned,   a beaming smile replaced her previous expression as her head tilted with   CURIOSITY   .   lunetta   LOVED   people,   loved talking to them   -    and even more so,   loved sharing her stories with them.   she liked the idea of making people laugh,   or have a moment of happiness listening to them   (   which is,   quite often,   why they were more fantastical and   EMBELLISHED   rather than pure reality   )   .   “   but seriously   -   you can totally come with me next time   !    “ 

“why not ?” rosella truly didn’t mind and she was used to sharing stories about the ER with others, so why not hear some traveling stories ? “well, i’d love that. i haven’t been to many places but i’d love to. i’ll have to have some notice though so i can take some time off work, but you’re in LUCK because i have some paid days dying to get used up.”

“Of sorts, but I am no healer, not of physical ailments at least.” Atticus began to beam, finding himself to be quite excited all of a sudden. He was glad that someone here thought that he was being useful, at least. “Thank you, Miss Malia! Your enthusiasm serves to make me very happy. However, I must ask, what does cosmetology fully entail? It sounds fascinating.”

oh thank god. is the thought that crosses malia’s head at that moment, her guard somewhat more lowered than usual. but she’d never tell anyone that. “sounds interesting. you’ll have to tell me more of what you do sometime.” there’s somewhat of a shrug of her shoulders. “i never thought i’d hear someone say enthusiasm and my name in the same sentence. i’m not the enthusiastic type. but i’m glad to be of a service then. it’s pretty much hair, nails and skin but i specialize more so in hair. mixing hair dyes and creating a vision of what i think suits someone. is one of my favorite things.”

viktrkovalenko‌:

“ oh, please, ” his arrows were decorated, because of course, they were. red and painted with flames. a childish version of destruction objectified. he pulled them out of the quiver and played with it for a second, playing imaginary drums, getting used to the weight of it in his hands again. “ you are gonna have to change your name to worse than noir after this, ” — after he took the right stance, it took viktor, maybe a second or two too long: holding the bow, pulling the string until it touched his cheek, adjusting his aim until he was sure it was going to the right direction. — it had been years since he had held any bows at all and still, somehow, confidence engulfed every inch of his movement. “ i’m good at everything i do. ” he shot. the arrow pierced through the air, quivered in its movements. a slight nudge from his telekinesis made sure it stayed in the right track. less than a second later, it pierced right through the cup. “ goddamn ! am i good at this ! ”

"not happening.” malia shook her head, after viktor shot the arrow it had been her turn to do so-- it sailed through the air almost effortlessly and hit the cup dead in the side. years of PRACTICE and concentration. not in the slightest bit rusty, and it showed. a look of being unimpressed on her features as she turns towards him. “i call bull, no way is someone better at shooting arrows than me. find another target, this time I’LL go first.” was she suspicious ? no but didn’t think anyone could be better at her than that. and no way was she giving up, too competitive for that. “next, you’ll tell me you can sonic scream too. i’d pay to see that one though.”

YONGSUN  SCOFFS.  HE  SIZES  HER  up,  as  if  suddenly  he’s  realizing  what  just  transpired.  In  a  way,  he  is.  He  didn’t  expect  Rosella  to  be  this  enthusiastic.  He’s  hanging  out  *??  With  people  from  the  League after  hours  *??  Unusual.  He  eventually  rolls  his  shoulders,  a  visible  sign  of  lowering  his  guard.  ❝  So  how  do  you  want  to  do  this  *??  You  know  I’m  not  as  fast  as  you  *&&  even  at  my  fastest  —  ❞  He  nods  towards  the  street,  where  his  motorcycle  is  parked.  ❝  I  still  wouldn’t  be  able  to  catch  up.  You  got  an  annoying  power,  that’s  for  fucking  sure.  Should  I  wait  here  for  you  to  change  *??  ❞

“  you got an extra helmet ? “  rosella inquires, not normally something she’d suggest but.. life had told her to start LIVING a little. “ so i’ve been told, but as ANNOYING as it can be it’s helpful and a ton of fun for me. give me a few seconds and i’ll be right back, you’ll barely even notice i’m gone.” at that there’s another whoosh of air, lightning trailing behind her as she’s running feeling the wind in her hair and the ground beneath her feet it takes no time as she runs into her apartment and changes, and just like that she’s back. another gust of wind a sure signal she’d made it back. “ta-da ! told you it’d take no time at all.” a wide grin across her features.

the american flag cape swayed in the wind. nate stood outside the bank dressed up as captain awesome, his heart racing, eyes switching back and forth between the glass doors and the people inside. — the robbers had guns, that was the only thought in his mind. guns, bullets, powder, explosion. he hated how nervous it got him. how his hands started to sweat under uniformed gloves. “ we should have a plan, right ? before we walk in ? ” as if on cue his mind ran through thousand different scenarios, considered every horrible outcome to this situation. his heart spiked a beat. “ i could make their guns weight a tonne, they would have to drop it. then we could rush to make sure the hostages are safe ? ”

“ that’s probably a good idea. “ rosella admits, her mind trying to come up with a plan to help out as well. knowing running straight in wasn’t a good approach, even with her speed. “ i could also run in a circle around them and distract them. they likely won’t even see me coming. i can even tie them up ? if you captain and song can grab the guns or find a way to disarm them. “ if someone had told her years ago that she’d be speedy, helping civilians during a bank robbery with a trio she’d probably tell you, how CRAZY that sounded. but then again she was also content with this lifestyle.

“ or. “ luna butted in a second later waiting for her turn, a smile written across her features. “captain awesome and i we can be distractions, while you run everyone out. that’s the safest bet, you’d be done so quickly with your speed and that would ensure nobody gets hurt. it also probably wouldn’t take long either, what do you think is the best bet, captian awesome ?” which is truly what the blonde wanted, and they didn’t call her song for nothing. she thought she could make a good distraction. her powers could do that at least, or so she hoped at least.

hank had lost the habit of doing it. sunk into his sheriff duties, let go of his police officer ones. it almost passed by unnoticed, disappeared without a second thought. he wasn’t really doing rounds, he was mostly trying to clear his mind, driving in the police car with no intent or direction, except— he caught sight of her car at the corner of his eye, noticed the violation without really meaning to. old habits die hard. — a few moments later, and they were both parked at the shoulder of the road. hank looking over his aviators glasses, staring down at the young girl behind the wheel as he stood besides her car. “ ms, do you know why i pulled you over ? ”

luna had never been pulled over, not once in her life and seeing the lights had caused an overwhelming panic. tears in her blue hues even after she had pulled over in the shoulder, and seen him approach. blinking back tears, was she really crying ? maybe, more so because again she had never been pulled over. that of a small smile on her features. “ no sir, i’m sorry for whatever i did. had a rough day just trying to get HOME.”
