Hal bent down as the little girl approached him. Even then, he still managed to tower over her with how small she was.
"Hey there little lady," he said. "Anything I can help you with this fine evening?"
The little girl looked at him anxiously, fiddling with her hands. Ok so not a nervous fan. Hal immediately switched to serious mode, scanning the crowd for anyone who could be her parents. He didn't see anyone running up to the two of them or even so much as keeping a watchful eye from a distance.
"Is something the matter?" Hal questioned, making sure to keep his voice even and calm.
The girl continued fidgeting, her big blue eyes scanning from side to side. Finally she spoke. "You wiff da space po-eece yes? Not da am-ear-ree-ca one?"
Hal smiled at the girl. "Yes, I'm with the space police." Honestly that was oversimplifying the Corps a little but he had long since gotten to citizens calling him a space cop.
The girl offered up a small nervous smile of her own. "So you won't tell da gov-ment what I tell you wight?"
Hal was on high alert now. Just what was this little girl trying to tell him? "I won't tell. I promise," he said after a second.
The girl broke into a big smile at this. "Really? Dis way den." She started tugging Hal along and he began to follow.
"Where exactly are we going?" he asked.
"You see," was all she replied.
Hal was led down a couple different alleyways and was beginning to think he was walking into a trap when they reached an abandoned building. The girl dashed in and up the old rusted stairs, with Hal following closely behind her.
If this really is a trap, I'll never hear the end of it from Batman, he thought morbidly as he cleared the last step. Instead of finding himself facing an ambush however, he saw a boy curled up on an old mattress. The girl was already by his side as Hal approached.
"Don wowee Danny, I got help. Like I said I would," he caught the little girl whispering as he knelt down next to the boy. He had to have been older than the girl. Three years older maybe? Yet he was still so small. Hal took sight of his condition. He was in pain. That much was certain by his little face scrunched up in agony and his quiet moans. He was also sweating profusely. His raven black hair sticking to his forehead. Fever maybe?
Hal continued his observations as he scanned down the boy's body until he got to his stomach. The boy was clutching it and Hal could make out blood bleeding through from underneath. Oh no.
He quickly yet carefully removed the boy's arm to get a better look at the wound. The kid let out a groan as his arm was peeled away. Hal couldn't help but thank Oa for all his training that helped prevent him from letting out a gasp.
The boy's chest was covered in blood. Dark red mixed with flecks of green soaked through his shirt and there were bandages that had been amateurishly tied around the wound.
"How did this happen?" Hal asked, turning back to the girl. He did his best to keep his tone as gentle as possible.
Her smile was gone now, and her eyes welled up with tears. "He pwotected me," she said. "Dey wanted to huwrt us. Dey shot at us. Danny pwotected me."
Anger boiled within Hal. Who would shoot at these children? They were only little kids. If what the girl had said earlier was anything to go off of, the answer had something to do with the government. He would have to take care of that later though. For now, this boy needed medical attention.
"Let's get Danny to a hospital," Hal said resolutely, as he got up.
"No!" the little girl screeched. "No has-pee-tail. Too dan-er-us!"
"But he needs-" Hal started but then he met the girl's eyes. There was abject fear in them. As if going to the hospital would be a death sentence for both children. Where else were they supposed to go though? The boy- Danny needed medical attention stat. That much was certain.
Hal paused. There was one place. He sighed. Batman was going to kill him for this.
"Okay okay. No hospital. But what about space?"
"Space?" the girl repeated.
Hal nodded.
The little girl smiled. "Danny lobes space!"
"Well then. That's perfect."
Hal constructed a new bed for the boy, carefully easing him onto it before putting a protective dome around both children. The little girl giggled as he lifted them up. He then turned to the wall where he created a giant hammer to knock it down. Then they were off. Flying higher and higher, towards the atmosphere. As the Watchtower got closer in sight, Hal couldn't help but groan. Taking civilians to the Watchtower? Oh yeah, Batman was definitely going to kill him.

The batfam meet Jarro
Ok so this isn't dp x dc but I just needed to share this coz I made myself laugh a lot with this.
So a little context, Jarro is an alien "Star Conqueror" that was veryyy briefly made robin in Justice League Vol 4 #10. He was grown, named and adopted by Batman. Jarro even calls him dad (it's really cute):
Tumblr media
Anyway, I'm pretty sure he's never mentioned again after that.
So yeah, with that in mind I had the crack idea of the batfam meeting Jarro and just being really jealous (while everyone around them is just: "That... is a literal starfish")
So a few lines I've got:
“Of course, dad!” Jarro says.
Jason jolts at that. Once upon a time, he used to call B that. He'd been the only one to do so. Not anymore.
Damian: I am the only blood heir.
Jarro: He was with me my whole childhood. He litteraly grew me in a jar. He named me.
“His bio father was a villain,” steph says caustically. “A global one, too. But get this, his dad flipped sides in the end and sacrificed his own life.”
Harper stays silent and Steph sighs.
“It just. It makes you think. What do you think I would’ve been like if my dad had been more like Starro?”
“More like the giant starfish from space?”
“Yeah.”
Roy: He looks like Patrick from Spongebob?
Jason: Oh, I see how it is. Fine! If you like Jarro so much maybe you should hang out with him, then. How about you join B to play catch with him while you’re at it?
Roy: He- he doesn’t even have opposable thumbs.
Jason: Urgh. That just mean B probably has the glove custom-made.
Cassie: He is the size of my literal palm.
Tim: I know! He’s pocket-sized. I bet B loves being able to carry him around.”
Cassie: Um
Tim: He rides on B’s shoulder! His fucking shoulder, Cassie! 
Cassie: Do. Do you want B to carry you on his shoulder?
Tim: That is so not the point! And B has the gall to say he doesn’t have favourites.
“Good at hiding.” Cass observes. “Small.”
“He’s- he’s a starfish, Cass.”
She nods gravely. “No tells.” Then her brow furrow. “Can read minds. Better than reading body.” She hunches a bit. “Better than me.”
“It’s just I thought I was the only one with powers, you know?” Duke starts. “Not that I don’t like him or anything. It’s just. That was my thing you know? Or like, it used to be.”
Claire just looks at him blankly.
Dick sighs as he looks up to the ceiling, his head laying on Starfire’s lap.
“It’s just.” Dick halts, hesitant and his voice quieter than usual. “I thought I was the pretty one.”
(Ok, I'm done)

You know what? I’ll just go ahead and outline my thoughts on why I think getting called “her father’s daughter” could be a potentially devastating insult for someone—likely an enemy—to call Earth.
Again: This is not me saying I think any of this is necessarily true of her character, just that recent events and how certain actions she’s been taking lately could be seen, especially from an outsider’s or enemy’s perspective (at least—her actions given what I’ve gleaned from summaries and what others have said about what’s been going down).
The Creator takes a forcible approach to changing things to fit the worldview he desires. And when people no longer fit that worldview? When the façade cracks and people refuse to play along with his vision? He disavows them. Throws them away.
And… what did Earth do to Nexus? Before they even directly attacked her, and it was completely reasonable of her to feel the need to step back a bit since her actual life was now in danger?
She disavowed them. She threw them away.
Nexus was too caught up in their grief and their very real problems, was no longer being the doting older sibling, said a few mean things about her not being a real therapist—which she’d already said early on that she didn’t even want for that to be her role in the family, before going back on that for some reason later on—and was no longer playing the role she wanted and was used to. Nexus was no longer in a stable headspace to clean up everyone’s messes, and was, apparently, supposed to be “more mature” than Lunar when it came to dealing with trauma and people who hurt them, their family, and trillions of uninvolved innocents—even though Nexus has never had their very real traumas addressed or given aid for or had the chance to heal the way the rest of their siblings have—so when they finally, inevitably broke under the grief and pressure?
Earth didn’t like that, and went by the Creator’s example of dropping the façade of care and throwing them away. And then immediately switching her attention over to something supposedly "better" in the current iteration of Moon.
…Though, at least she was different in that, at one time, she did care about Nexus, while the Creator never cared about her. But that also just might make the pain worse. Because it is one thing to learn that you were never loved at all, and the whole thing was just a lie or a mask someone was using to get what they wanted. To learn that you were always just a tool, or a means to an end.
It is another thing entirely to learn that the love existed, but was shallow and conditional and depended on you lying and putting on a pleasant mask that hid your pain. A mask that only you needed to wear—because your position has always been the scapegoat, and everyone else was already good enough/fulfilled enough in their assigned roles to never even ponder stepping out of them to see if they would be happier doing something different/their assigned roles included messing up and making mistakes or acting "childish" or "spoiled" as a matter of course.
And, on the note of assigned roles…honestly, as others have said, Nexus never should have been considered the older brother to begin with—to any of their siblings—since they were younger than her. And younger than Lunar, by certain metrics, since even though Lunar technically was “reborn,” they didn’t have to contend with any memory gaps and just picked right back up where they left off. To the point that it could be argued they didn’t even “die” so much as just get put in a coma for a long time, especially with how nanomachines were and are implied to work in the TSAMS universe.
…Anyways…
This ended up a bit harsher toward Earth than I’d intended (probably because I decided to stay up and write this after I should have been in bed and asleep), and is probably meaner toward her character than she actually deserves… But, as I said, this is an exploration of why calling Earth "her father's daughter" would be the sort of insult an enemy would sling at her. One of the ones who like to pick at sore spots, use psychological torment, and twist things like memories and actions around to make them appear more sinister than they were in reality.
Do I think Earth reacted badly, and should have handled the situation better? Especially since she had tried to put herself in the role of a therapist? Absolutely I do. Do I think there was any sort of “evil machinations” or deeper meaning behind her actions on par with why the Creator tried to uphold that genial façade for so long? Absolutely not.
I genuinely think she was just overreacting/mishandled the situation/lashed out in her own sense of anger and sadness, and is now just doubling down with how crazy things have still been for her family lately. Especially now that there is a “new” Moon to deal with and Nexus is both out of sight and out of mind... as well as possibly genuinely out of her reach, both physically and emotionally. And she also might not want to reconcile given the whole “they almost killed me” thing. Which… yeah, after that point it is fair that she would be upset and angry and want some physical distance, and I wouldn't blame her for not forgiving Nexus for that specific thing.
It would have been fair for her to want some physical distance after their earlier harsh words, too… it’s just that isn’t what she said she was doing. Had she said/expressed by her actions something to the tune of “I need to take a step back from this for my own mental health so I can have some space to process,” it would have been fine. But she didn’t. She and Lunar immediately jumped to what was essentially disownment, and then didn’t clarify in the next lore video that those were just the harsh words they were saying in the heat of the moment and that what they really meant was they were upset and needed their own mental health breaks/weren't equipped to deal with the severity of the situation.
…Honestly, though, with Lunar it hurts… not exactly less, but at least in a different way when it comes to how they handled things, because they’d always been combative toward Nexus. The only time I remember them genuinely expressing concern or love for them as a sibling was after the daycare got exploded thanks to Ruin during the second October takeover--and that wasn't even expressed directly to Nexus--and then when Nexus and Sun found their way back. Yes, they did run immediately for a hug from Nexus after being rebuilt and getting rescued by Puppet… but then they immediately admitted it was because they’d briefly forgotten that Nexus was “New Moon,” not the original one.
So while their reaction to this entire situation was and is still massively disappointing, I can’t really say it was too out of character for them. At least not the same way it was coming from Earth.
…Hope this made at least some sort of sense.

Okay actually fuck this.
8 years ago today was the worst day of my life and I really thought for a while after that i was all done for.
But. I wasn’t, I kept pushing that fucking boulder up hill. I graduated. And then I graduated again.
And despite my near constant complaining, I actually have built a life im grateful for.
So here are some thing about my life that I love.

Open note: Feel free to pressure me into writing on my Backhoe sequel snippets. Putting this into the universe. It takes a village. Send me asks about the characters, what I'm writing, requests for snippets or threatening telegrams.
I'm open. I have some plots drafted, I just need people to yell at me to write the thing. Backhoe pictures below the jump
Or read Backhoe and yell at me in the comments. This is the fic. No obligation, it just keeps coming up.
I need to re-do a bunch of the pictures I made for Backhoe as well, as I had had the html pointing at discord which no longer allows external image hosting (I hate that I know this, I hate html)
I'm traveling for work this week, so I will have time in the evenings...

Danny just wanted to enjoy the stars. Was that too hard to ask? Evidently so by the fact that he was currently dragging six foot two man in green into his room.

Fic idea
So I have an idea that might get me back into writing but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested first (if no one’s interested the story will just continue in my head and I won’t bother any of you with it).
So the reader is a writer who grew up in the Netherlands and went to school with Martin Garrix. She knows and is friends with Max through Martin. She has also met Lando through Martin but they’ve never spend much time together.
Readers writing career is taking off and she’s now also writing film scripts/one of her books is being made into a film. This means that she has to start selling herself as much as her books, because people think she’s boring and her agent/publishing company believe she could benefit from a PR relationship with someone high profile to make her seem more interesting.
Which brings us to Lando. He has been building quite a reputation and McLaren thinks he needs a PR girlfriend to clean up his image. They want someone who has nothing to do with the party scene and who won’t cause any drama.
So Lando and reader are put together by their respective management. Lando has to make reader seem more exciting/interesting for the Hollywood world she’s stepping into, and reader is supposed to make Lando seem more serious and put together. And it’s perfect according to their teams because they’ve already been spotted at the same events because they’re both friends with Martin.
What do you think? Would anyone be interested in reading this?

Random vulnerable moment: people sometimes ask why I’m so sensitive about body hair or about how it feels to post my body hair on here freely and getting so much positive support.
There’s plenty of examples but literally in 7th grade ON MY BIRTHDAY, my crush brought me a present. I was so fucking surprised and happy I couldn’t contain it. He told me to open it in class and guess what it was. A pack of razors. I soon as I opened it everyone started laughing :-)
So um yeah it just means a lot to have people on here that remind me that body hair is okay and that it’s SEXY. And also middle schools boys are the worst.

So, maybe this is a rude post but, if you're going to tell me to add you to the tag list on my multi-part fics and then not even reblog any of it, or not say please, or not even remark on what you enjoyed about it or what you're looking forward to in the next part?
I'm sorry but I'm probably not going to add you to the tag list moving forward.
Again, apologies if this makes some of you upset, but it's a little ridiculous to just consume a writers work like this with no acknowledgement when I do this for free and for fun.
I'm not a writer on a TV show, this is a Fandom space and that means there needs to be some sense of community and not consumerism.
Sorry everyone, just needed a vent...feel free to ignore this.
