Quick headcanon that at some point, the Justice League makes a time-off calendar for every time a leaguer is busy and needs someone to keep their city safe while they’re gone. Maybe they have a work trip or a family thing or even some vacation they planned.

All a hero has to do is request time off, and another member will sub in while they’re gone. The only problem is that it creates a pattern. It would be suspicious if Green Arrow is only replaced when Oliver Queen is on a business trip, right? So to keep the public on their toes, JL members are encouraged to take a random day off each month or so and switch out with no rhyme or reason. Just any random day, any random hour.

The outcome is complete chaos.

Clark Kent has the pleasure of interviewing Wonder Woman at the scene of a car chase she just stopped in Metropolis.

Some muggers in Star City are scooped up into a giant glowing cage while Green Lantern riddles off bird puns to an exasperated Black Canary.

A team of robbers hit a bank in Central City but get roasted by Plastic Man for their poor their safe-cracking skills as they’re taken into custody.

Black Manta uses his high tech weaponry to wreak havoc in the Atlantic only to be hit with a torpedo as the Bat-Sub dives towards him at full speed.

Cyborg is lecturing a group of teen vandals in Fawcett City when Captain Marvel just waltzes up, says, “I’m tapping back in,” and continues the lecture where he left off.

Complete. And. Utter. Chaos. No one knows who will show up at the scene now, not even the cops, but criminals are scared shitless.

The JL decides to keep the calendar. If only for entertainment.

Dani gives the sidekicks and heroes a trauma

Dani:" My mentor's arch villain is worse than your mentor's one."

Robin: "Bullshit!"

Aqualad, who most of the time was silent about such things, said, "Yeah. You didn't yet see our mentor and arch villain."

Dani:No, I can without a doubt say mine is worse than yours."

Wally:" Yeah, I don't believe it. Superman has Lex Luthor, Batman has the Joker, and Aquaman has Black Manta or Flash with reverse Flash."

Black Canary:" I have to say, they aren't wrong."

Dani glared at her team and said, "To explain Plasmius, is it true that Black Manta/Joker/Lex/Recverse Flash kills Queen Mera/Catwoman/Lois/Iris and then marries Aquaman/Batman/Superman/Flash and tells you to call him Mom and so? Yes. Danny's archvillain wants to make him his son by killing his father and marrying his mother. "

At the same time as the Justice League watched it, the sidekicks got goosebumps down their spines.

This will give them nightmares and trauma for a long time.

Nemesis Swap

As the Nemesis of the Heroes talked, they chose to swap for a week. They would attack the hero of the lottery. The Joker, Luthor, Cheetah, Reverse Flash, Vlad Plasmius, Black Manta, and Sinestro So Joker left to hunt; same with the rest. 

Vlad at least warned the other Villian, while Phantom is a child. He would attack ferals, and if they were not careful, they would lose a body part. He doesn't get that normal people break like sticks. So while Vlad was fighting against Green Lantern, Joker against Green Arrow,  Cheetah against Superman Lex Luthor vs. Aquaman Black Manta vs. Batman and Reverse Flash against Wonder Woman + Sinestro was actually doing pretty well with Plasmius enemy; he was confused about who he was, and as he learned, he was an alien.  The boy didn't even try to fight him and only wanted to hear his stories and similar ones.

sorry if this pisses anyone off but aquaman & black manta is the one big-name superhero-archnemesis dynamic that i cannot see becoming an enemies to lovers situation

[fancyfade]

No one is braver than human aquaman villains I would nooooot be committing sea crime if I had to breathe air and the guy I was fighting didnt.. literally starting every fight giving the other guy the home field advantage but they do it anyway. Truly inspirational
