double-asking for the roadtrip au because *heart eyes emoji*

the roadtrip fic has hardly and solid plot or a working title yet but heck it's fun akskdjfhskfns

"Where's Jason?" Asks Duke, flat-out on a plush hotel bed that feels like a freaking cloud. Tim stretched out along one side of it, and if it doesn't say something about how big these beds are that the two of them, him and gangly Tim Drake, are both sprawled comfortably in the same one, Duke doesn't know what to say about that.

Tim doesn't look up from his laptop. "Probably pissing off Cass," he replies.

Duke raises an eyebrow, which Tim doesn't see, because he's staring at the computer screen. "On purpose?"

Tim shrugs. "Probably not, but also? Possibly. I don't think the whole thing with Steph is on purpose, though." Duke watches upside-down as a corner of Tim's mouth quirks up.

"Alright, I'll bite. How does Steph play into this?" 'Cause it's not like Duke hasn't noticed the rivalry between Cassie and Jason, they're not that subtle about it. He just hasn't asked. Not his monkeys, not his circus, right? He should use that one around Dick, see what the former circus kid thinks of that very appropriate saying.

Tim sighs. "I mean- you might get caught in the middle of it too. Cass is frustrated enough to stop pulling punches, at this point."

How Tim knows that, without a single word from the Batgirl in question for the duration of today's drive, Duke definitely won't question. If Tim is some kind of potential mind-reading meta, he's not going to be the one to out him.

Tim finally closes the laptop, looks at Duke. "Cass... does not," he emphasizes not, "Like Jay. I won't call it hate, because hate would have to have love to reflect from, but... it's close. It's the killing."

"I figured."

Tim nods. "And Jason hates being hated. They really don't get along in the best of circumstances, and, like... Cass can't turn off her abilities, you know?" He frowns. "Being stuck in an enclosed space with the entire family and all our emotional crap? Sucks for her and I don't think she expected it."

Duke remembers the excited, emoji-filled messages he'd gotten from Cassie about this trip the past few weeks. He doesn't think she expected it, either. "And Steph?"

Tim looks him directly in the eyes, which is freaking unnerving because Tim has those icy blue eyes like Bruce that look like he's staring directly into you sometimes, when he's not looking at you from behind messy-long hair. "Come on," he says, almost abruptly, then relaxes back against the cushiony headboard of the massive bed.

He sighs, loud and grating in the quiet of the room. There's a gorgeous view out the window, but the quiet, free of road noise and navigational conversational chatter, might be the best part. Duke stares out the window, overlooking a shockingly blue lake, watches a floating dock bob in the wind instead of watching the thinly veiled emotions crossing Tim's face. Tim is like a steel trap a lot of the time, expressionless as Red Robin but when he's himself, really, he doesn't hide so much. Duke doubts he really wants him to see all that, though, if he could even parse it all out.

Finally, after long enough that it almost makes Duke jump, Tim speaks again. "Steph has been spending a lot of time with Jason lately." Something about his tone, or maybe the words themselves, sounds weirdly deliberate. It takes Duke a minute to figure out why.

He pushes himself up on an elbow to stare at Tim, not upside-down. "They've got something going on," he fills in, and, yeah, that checks out.

Tim snorts. "Heck if I know. I don't think they're, like... dating? But there's... definitely something there."

"Mutual crush," Duke fills in again, because that definitely fits with what he's seen.

"Something like that," Tim says. "If my ex girlfriend, who's currently one of my best friends in general, and my brother have a thing for each other... who gets the shovel talk?"

Duke, to his credit, doesn't burst out laughing like he wants to do. "Hell if I know," he replies, then laughs because he just repeated what Tim had said a second ago. "So Jason is pissing Cassie off by hanging around with Steph?"

"Yep," Tim replies, popping the P. "I wonder if B is aware of this whole thing," he mutters.

Duke grins. "Tell him. Then he can handle the shovel talk."

Tim looks at him, startled and considering at the same time, then grins back.

La Mode illustrée, no. 40, 5 octobre 1873, Paris. Modèles de chez Mme Bréant-Castel; rue du quatre-septembre, 19. (Les explications des figures de cette page se trouvent sur la plance de patrons.) Talma en drap olive avec ornements en ficelle. Talma double en drap avec broderie. Mantelet en drap bleu-noir. Ville de Paris / Bibliothèque Forney

Talma en drap olive avec ornements en ficelle.

Oui, vous avez bien lu: en ficelle; ces plaques, ces glands sont faits en grosse ficelle pareille à celle que l'on trouve chez les épiciers. Au milieu des petites plaques, se trouve un disque en jais noir. Le contour est orné d'une large bordure exécutée en perles de jais et d'une guipure de même teinte que le drap employé pour le talma.

Talma in olive cloth with string ornaments.

Yes, you read correctly: in string; These plates, these tassels are made of thick string similar to that found in grocers. In the middle of the small plates is a black jet disc. The outline is decorated with a wide border made of jet beads and guipure of the same color as the cloth used for the talma.

[usotsuki-no-sora]

For some reason…I can see Time from LU maybe being voiced by Matt Mercer or Liam O’Brien maybe…I have no clue why…oh maybe Gackt?

For like Wind maybe Todd Haberkorn or VALSHE?(example:Hayato from FE:IF and nico nico doga singer)

Legend…Legend gives me Vic Mignogna? (example: Edward Elric and Suoh Tamaki)No clue why…

Twilight? That is hard…maybe Yuri Lowenthall(Example plw:Uchiha Sasuke)or Troy Baker? (Yuri Lowell ToV)

Warrior though totally gives off J Michael Tatum vibe to me…if it was Japanese totally Daisuke Ono

Hyrule? Totally Eric Vale maybe? Jay Baruchel?(Hiccup)

Oh man Four…where would I start? Hnng…so hard to think of someone for him in English but weirdly Takeshita Sakurai if Japanese (Example: Hibaro Kyoya (KHR) or Akasuna No Sasori (Naruto))….but that’s just me or wait Akira Ishida or Yuya matsushita.

Sky? Oh boy…for Sky can see Sam Rigel or mamoru Miyano.

Wild? Suguru Inoue…maybe Mitsuki Saiga? Kuroneko/96Neko?

Mind you, I am not talking about the grunts and yelps we hear in the games—but say if there was a voices series or they spoke to us. Imagination is the key or simp brain…

But what I mean is what we (individually) envision them to sound like in say our heads or in linked universe like when Four asks how Wild broke the sword and he said on a rock…that face Four made man. Dude may have an aneurism if he ever saw totk!wild’s inventions I think…makes imagining the voices more amusing in my mind and everyone else’s reactions.

My brain is weird….anyone got any thoughts or,opinions on this? Trying to go by how they seem via @linkeduniverse amazing comic as well as how to precise them a bit cannon and oh fuck I forgot about First and Fierce Diety…

I blame @trippygalaxy for the Out in the Woods little ficlet for this brain spiral…cuz fuck Time and that sexy voice he totally would have. *whispers* also them Forearms …and those back muscles…that tight black shirt aaaad spiraling i am. Dam rabbit hole.

Pics are from zerochan.net and/or pixiv or just google search as well as official comic. Minus one picture comic panel from @ovegakart adorable comic panel.

If you actually know who the artist is just say so/tell me, and/or link them (plz? Maybe?) Be nice to know actually since their work is amazing. More so if the pictures are really old as well and can only be found if you go down a rabbit hole.

I can’t even draw stick figures…I think? Would they even count as stick figures?

[zora-thesidecharacter]

Well, since I can't seem to actually write anything about my OC's nor can I write the story I've made with them, (my brain fucking dies whenever I try to get my story out of it and onto paper/PC), I'm going to post the list I have made over years now of all my OC's. Feel free to give thoughts and/or ask about different characters Because for some reason the only way I can explain anything about this shit is when I'm telling someone who is genuinely interested in it lol.

Here we go, it has some explanation on the sorting if it first, also it might be a little hard to read... Almost 70 of them.

Letter sorting meaning:

(L) originally created when messing around with lego minifigures

(T) yet to be used In the story. (non of them have this at the moment, however a lot of them used to and I put it on oc's I make that I don't plan on putting in the story. Sadly I don't end up getting attached to any oc I make if it's not in the story... So Ive kinda stopped making new ones so that I don't overflow this thing with characters.)

(C) colors/stick figure tournament battles I did when I was little and then somehow kept track the personalitys of. (The alignment for these is for there own story, not the main one, even though they are in the main one.)

(U) used in Story

Alignment:

Good:●

Evil: ■

Neutral and/or switches sides at some point: ◇

The Characters in order that I made them, (each category is how old I was when I made them. A lot of the old ones have names I don't like anymore and/or have changed a ton in the story since then, but I hate scrapping characters and would much rather repurpose.):

7: Blue robot (LU)◇[1]{new name pending}, red robot (LU)◇[2]{new name pending},

8: Sol (LU)■[3], golden guardian (LU)●[4],

17: King (U)■[65],

Number of characters I have that I've been working on don't have a name for yet and havnt fully fleshed out because they are side characters that only show up a few times: 9

That is my list. It big. I love these little creations and even more so love "The Talez Of Solar" as I have named the story.

Chapter thirteen

As Luna steps into her slightly older twin's room she feels and looks confused at the three seniors in front of her. That doesn't worry her, what does is the bruises on her brother and the mess in his bedroom. She gently sits herself on his bed, looking up at the males.

''What's going on? Your all seniors right?'' Luna questions.

''Yeah. We're friends of your brother though.'' Jay answers.

''Right. Your not the reason Niki's hurt are you?'' She responds.

''No they're not. Actually they are the ones always making sure I don't get hurt. I just kinda pushed them away... like I did with all of you.'' Niki replies.

''Okay. So please tell me what's going on.'' Luna said, looking at each of the guys.

''What your about to hear, you may not believe. But I'm trusting you with this sis.'' Niki tells his sister quietly. She looks at him in confusion and nods.

''Okay... wait are you in a gang?'' Luna gasps making Jake chuckle.

''No. Just as dangerous without being the criminal.'' Jake answers. Luna nods.

''You know Spider-Man.'' Niki begins.

''Yeah course I do. Zaria and Sunoo are obsessed with him and actually Jungwon's been looking into him lately.'' Luna responds with a nod.

''He has? That's odd.'' Niki mumbles but a throat clears, he looks up to Sunghoon.

''Off track buddy.'' He mentions, making the younger nod.

''Right sorry. Well you know him a lot better than you think, because.... I'm Spider-Man.'' Niki finally admits, a weight slightly lifted off his chest.

''Your... Spider-Man?'' Luna repeats.

''Yeah.'' Niki replies.

''Like for real? No lies? Like your not dressing up as Spider-Man for Halloween?'' Luna questions quickly.

''Honestly Lu. I'm Spider-Man and these are Blue Jay, Wild Dog and Cold Prince.'' Niki replies, pointing to the three guests.

''Did I forget about to part where he reveals our secret identities too?'' Jake ask, a look of confusion clear on his face. Jay sighs and sits next to the younger female.

''Luna we're the ones protecting the city along with your brother. What he's done the last few weeks was stupid but he's just told you his biggest and most dangerous secret. You know who we really are too. Our job is to make sure your brother is safe. We're not lying to you.'' Jay speaks softly, as if he's speaking to his younger sister.

''Okay. I believe you. Is this why you've been sneaking out?'' Niki looks down and nods.

''Yeah. I'm sorry Lu but now you know. But you can't tell the others.'' He answers.

''I promise I won't.'' He looks up at his twin and smiles.

''We'll leave you too it, call us if you need anything.'' Niki and Luna both nod as the three elders leave, the twins sit on Niki's bed together.

''So your really Spider-Man?'' Luna asks once the older ones leave.

''Yeah. Have been for a good while now. You remember those thugs we ran into a like a month ago? I was going to use my powers then but the Hyungs showed up.'' Niki answers.

''Oh. So aside from them only I know?'' She calls making Niki nod.

''Yeah. Honestly I'm surprised I've hidden that I'm Spider-Man for so long now.'' Niki replies.

''Your Spider-Man!?''

Both twins turn to see Jungwon in the doorway, a look of shock on his face.

''Ah shit.'' Niki mumbles as Jungwon steps into the room.

''I knew it! I knew you was Spider-Man! It all make sense now!'' Jungwon exclaims.

''What does?'' Luna questions.

''A few weeks ago I saw this old lady being mugged outside Jin's store. I saved her as Spider-Man. But as I was going back into the store, Zaria, Sunoo and Jungwon caught me wanting a picture. But I don't get how you figured it out from that meeting.'' Niki answers, turning to Jungwon.

''Niki your voice was the first, even with a fake accent. Plus you threw your Niki peace sign. Remember me asking to take a picture inside. You did the same sign.'' Jungwon said.

''Okay Scooby Doo well solved.'' Niki mumbles.

''I won't tell anyone. Plus me knowing will help cover you and keep Lu spilling the beans.'' Jungwon mentions.

''I don't even like beans.'' Luna pouts.

''No Lu... never mind. You see what I mean?'' Jungwon turns to the elder twin.

''Yeah. Just don't tell anyone okay.'' Jungwon nods zipping his lips.

Niki smiled slightly hoping that he can trust his friend and sister, but deep down, Niki feels relieved two people know his secret.

Thoughts on Big Mouth Season 5

I feel like I've had my thoughts on this bottled up for a while so I may as well just let them out.

I like that Jessi doesn't have a label. It could be because she hasn't fully figured out her sexuality yet but I think it's great that they're showing how you don't have to rush to figure out your sexuality. It takes time. If you don't wanna label yourself, that's also fine.

Speaking of which, I love that they're not even bothering to hide the fact that Andrew is attracted to men but not dedicating a whole arc to it. He's just Andrew. Him thirsting over men as well as girls is simply a part of him now.

Having said that, the Mr. Keating subplot was probably the worst part of the season. Maybe even the whole show. Andrew just straight up ruins a man's life and, despite his arc being somewhat dedicated to him being more sensitive and wanting to rise above hate, it's never brought up again.

Nick's arc was fine. I like the idea that some hate is valid and some isn't (with Nick's definitely being invalid) but the way it goes becomes a muted version of his arc from last season. It follows a few of the same beats but being more literal than metaphorical.

I feel like we haven't seen the last of Aiden or Samira. Matthew's choices may come back to bite him later on. Ali, on the other hand, seems to still miss Samira since her break-up was beyond her control so I'm not sure where this will go. But I am glad Ali won't be a glorified extra like Gina ended up being.

The Christmas episode was good (despite a few shoddy moments) but I feel like it should have been an extra episode like the Valentine's one was since it kinda disrupted the flow of the story.

I love Missy's arc and Ayo Edebiri's performance. I like her hate coming from jealousy and insecurity while Nick's just comes from spite. Her arc ends with her rising above it and trying to better herself and I'm really excited to see where else she goes.

Also, maybe it was because they kept making jokes in the finale about Jessi eating out Missy, but I honestly thought they were setting them up as a pairing at first. I'm glad they didn't because that would've been WAY too fast but I wouldn't mind seeing it in the future.

How the fuck did they get Hugh Jackman?

If we got Pillola, are we gonna get Bath MATthew?

I'm mixed on Matthew's story even though I'm glad he and Jay got together. They dropped the whole story with his parents to the point where they only have one scene. Does his mother accept him now? Is it just not brought up because he was single for 69% of the season?

But I love Jatthew. I like how Lola and Jay fell apart didn't feel all that forced. Couples fall apart and sometimes it gets ugly, no matter how great the honeymoon phase was. They had a good run but things change.

Rodney, just adopt Lola ffs

I'm starting to think that Gina's been forced into the background because the crew really doesn't want to give Gina Rodriguez a lot of screen time after all the shit she's said but they don't wanna make a big deal by firing her.

I kind of hope they do bring her back because I feel like the lid can't be kept on Charles Lu forever. I get Jay, Matthew, or even Andrew not outing him but Lola found out about it and she doesn't try to start more drama?

Also, where's Kat Dennings?

I wanna see an asexual kid whose Hormone Monster is Simon Sex. The kid doesn't experience sexual attraction so Simon doesn't try to make the kid horny. He just hangs around and chills with the kid. I dunno. It's funny to me.

Let Bernie be recurring. She's sweet and funny and I don't want Andrew to lust after is cousin anymore. No more incest please, even if the joke is that it's bad.

The lovebugs and hate-worms were fine even if the concepts don't make too much sense. Like, there's been plenty of love and hate before but they're just now showing up. I liked Rochelle and Sonya. Walter was funny at first but he ended up overstaying his welcome as both lovebug and hate-worm.

Mona's hot in a respectful way.

tl;dr I've just been murdered at EPCOT Center.

[little-eldritch-gremlin]

Okay, I just had a weird thought. What if after Nicky went missing, Jay and Luanne went to see a kind of psychic (Lu would not be into the idea, but even she would be desperate for answers and also the police could not tell them shit) and then when the psychic is trying to figure out where their child it’s suddenly like:

Psychic: Uhhh . . . I found where your child is.

Jay and Luanne: OH MY GOD WHERE?!

Psychic: He’s right across the street from you.

Jay and Luanne:

Princess

I’ve talked about this with a few people, but I just love it, so enjoy!

-----------------

With school out for the summer, Omega’d elected to stay at their tower. Milagro still leaves most days to work in the auto shop, Jon flying out to help Pa around the farm, but they keep to the tower. Training, patroling, catching up on paperwork. Needless to say, they’d run out of things to do within a week.

It’s been a painfully slow day for Omega. Colin stretches on the loveseat, dozing while the twins and Lian play a video game. Damian meditates in front of the open doorway. A summer breeze runs through his dark hair as he remains still. Jon and Milagro chat as they work on lunch. 

Non of them even flinch as a glowing portal opens behind Damian. Seven figures step through bickering amongst themselves.

“Ceridian, I swear to God--”

“People hated Jesus for telling the truth--”

“YOU LIVE IN ATLANTIS!!”

“OI!” Zachary glares at his teammates, “Unless you fuckers want demons joining us, shut yer traps!”

Ceridian and Matt ignore him as they continue arguing. Lucy skates passed them, Jania and Luca plopping down on the couch. Rolling his eyes, Zachary turns back to the open portal. 

“Nice quod et claude ostium aperuit stricta ad noctem.“ Bright blue eyes glow, the tempereature dropping for a moment as the portal closes. Damian had stayed seated, still in his trance. Lifting his hand, Zachary aims an ice ball at his friend’s back.

“Do it, Zatara, and your bloodline ends.”

To no one’s surprise, Zachary throws the ice ball, shouting, “Bloodline ends with me anyway! I ain’t having kids!”

“What are y’all doing here?” Jon asks, ignoring the fight by the door.

“Our universe is dead and we missed ya.” Lucy pushes Colin’s legs off the love seat.

“Lying’s a sin, Lu.” The redhead yawns.

“Even if I believed in God, alterboy, I’m Jewish.”

“I meant--Nevermind.”

“Epsilon’s coming over for dinner.” Mil looks at Connor, “In case you’re staying for dinner.”

“What are you making? Barbeque--”

“NO!” The lantern and half-kryptonian glare at Ceridian.

“Not until the diet southerner admits Texas style is superior--”

“Ma told me not to lie--”

“Says the kid of two reporters--”

“Hey!” Jai and Irey look back at Mil, “Leave reporters out of this!”

Matt snorts, “It’s what they get for using chicago style.”

The living area door opens before the twp sets of wests can argue....again. Mar’i fixes a sliver arm band as she strolls in, “Superbabe, can you help--”

“Woah!” Matt nearly falls off the couch.

Mar’i looks up and smiles at the other team, “Hey, guys!”

“What are you wearing?”

“Huh? Oh!” She runs a hand over the deep violet dress, Jon moving to her side, “New dress. Baby, can you make sure I’m laced up properly?”

“Of course.” Jon moves the cape as he finds the laces.

“What’s that for? Gala?” That’s all Luca or Connor could think of.

“No, bi-annual UN meeting. I’m the Tamaranean representative.”

“Why you?” Jania frowns, “Just being from Tamaran shouldn’t qualify you, right?”

“No, but being heir to the throne does.” 

YJL looks at Omega, expecting on of them to laugh. Instead...the team doesn’t react. Jon finishes the laces, turning Mar’i, “Perfect, Star. You look beautiful.”

“Thank you, Superbabe.” Mar’i giggles as Jon kisses her cheek, wrapping his arms around her.

Lucy blinks, “Wait. Ya not about walk past--What do you mean heir?!”

Damian slams Zachary into the ground, glancing at the others “Surely you know what an heir is?”

“She’s from Jersy???”

Rolling her eyes, Mar’i adjusts the silver armbands, “Just because I’ve grown up in Jersy. doesn’t mean I’m ineligible for the throne. Also I was born on Tamaran?”

“So...you have a tile?” Luca guesses.

“Yep. In tamaranean, it’s,” Her natural accent thickens as she says something none of them understand.

“...Translation?”

Surprisingly, Jon answers, “Her Royal Highness, Crowned Princess Mar’i, Daughter of Two Worlds, Child of the Stars, X’hal’s Protected.”

“Aw, you remembered.” Their teammates roll their eyes at the couple. Jania clears her throat.

“If you two get married, will Jon be a prince?”

“Yep! Pretty sure the Earth equivalent is Prince Consort? I’ve been trying to convince him to make his title ‘Prince Superboytoy.’“

Jon snorts, “Easy, Princess.”

Zachary shoves Damian off him, flipping him the bird, “She doesn’t act like a bloody princess.”

“Oh? Then tell me, Mr. Zatara, how does a princess act?” Something in her makes the room go silent. “Does a princess sing and dance around, not a thought in her head? Marrying a prince to live happily ever after? My responsiblites, which I have been trained since birth to carry out, include representing Tamaran in the UN. I have to hope I am representing my people and their interests, which I’ve done since I was 8. Do not tell me how a princess should act.”

Everyone, except Jon, has shrunk back. The Tamaranean holds her strong gaze until it melts into a bright laugh.

“I hate when she does that fucking voice.” Colin grunts.

“The fuck was that?” Ceridian asks.

“Her princess voice. Fucking hate it.”

“Humans are fun to mess with.” Mar’i grins. 

Shaking his head, Jon pecks her cheek, “Behave, Princess.”

“Make me, Superboy.”

Jon raises his eyebrow. Leaning in to murmur in her ear, his hand slides around her throat. Whatever he says makes her blush and look at him. 

“Well, that is making me I suppose.” She kisses his cheek before turning on her heel. “I will return soon.”

“Jon, what the fuck--”

Jon waves Colin up as he walks back to the kitchen, “Don’t ask any questions if you can’t handle the answer.”

HBO War Boys and their respective Hogwarts Houses

Dick Winters- Gryffindor, I had a hard time choosing between that and Slytherin but ultimately I think Dick embodies Gryffindor perfectly

Lewis Nixon- Slytherin, Nix would probably be one of those kids who tries to get out of his pure-blooded family by proving himself to be that one who breaks the mold

Harry Welsh- he and Kitty would both be Gryffindors. Harry would probably be the terror of the Gryffindor Quidditch team

John Basilone- SLYTHERIN!!! This boy just SCREAMS Slytherin!! John wanted to be with the best of the best but he’d do anything to make sure his boys were ok

Andrew “Ack Ack” Haldane- Ravenclaw, don’t tell me this boy doesn’t smell like a Ravenclaw 

Edward “Hillbilly” Jones- Hufflepuff, Eddie’s definitely got the persistent personality of a badger (see Ep. 5 that scene with the tank)

Brad Colbert- Gryffindor Head Boy, Brad doesn’t fuck around to begin with so keeping the rest of the fellow house idiots in line is one of his specialties

Ronald Speirs- Slytherin, he’s the student that appears calm, cool and collected on the outside but would probably willingly go joyriding on the broomsticks with the others

Carwood Lipton- Slytherin, I remember someone had the same thing and I could see why Lip might end up being a Slytherin (big shoutout to whoever it was I’m sorry I can’t remember your name)

Bill Guarnere- my favorite motormouth is a Gryffindor!! Him and Franny would probably be another case of double trouble

Edward “Babe” Heffron- Gryffindor, Babe would probably make an excellent chaser for the Quidditch team

Eugene Roe- Ravenclaw, his best subject would probably be herbology

Robert Leckie- Ravenclaw, everybody calls him Professor Leckie already, due to his advanced knowledge of magic

Chuckler Juregens- Hufflepuff, he’d bring all the weird plants back to the dormitories without any knowledge of where in the hell to put them

Runner Conley- Gryffindor, another chaser on the Quidditch team

Hoosier Smith- Slytherin, am I mistaken that Hoosier could easily charm the pants off of anybody whilst the others cause mischief behind their backs?

Ed Tipper- Ravenclaw, also a beater for the Quidditch team

Shifty Powers- Hufflepuff, he’d probably be another Newt Scammander

Floyd Talbert- Gryffindor’s most infamous ladies man

JP Morgan- Slytherin, like Nix I suspect JP would try and do everything to differentiate himself and the others from the sick, pure-blooded ideology. He’d probably even help train first years for the Quidditch team

Manny Rodriguez- him, John and JP would be the best students Slytherin has ever seen in a long time

Eugene Sledge- Gryffindor, Sledge would fit right in with the others

RV Burgin- Ravenclaw, he’s beauty, he’s grace but on the Quidditch field he’ll hit you in the face

Jay De L’Eau- Hufflepuff and seeker for the team, Jay might be unsuspecting but damn is he fast on a broom

Merriel “Snafu” Shelton- the Slytherin who roams about the castle with a black cat next to him at all times

Chuck Grant-Grant’s a little bit tricky to figure out, but my best guess is Ravenclaw, probably has Luna’s tendancies

Johnny Martin- a hard headed Hufflepuff some say Johnny’s a Slytherin but he’s as hard headed as they come

Bull Randleman- Hufflepuff, his and Johnny’s bunks are right next to each other which isn’t the best seeing as Bull snores

Joe Toye- Gryffindor, probably does really well with fire spells

Joe Liebgott- the Slytherin with a salty attitude

David Webster- the Ravenclaw that has read every known book in the library

Chuck Tatum- my boi is definitely a Ravenclaw!!! Would probably willingly go joyriding with Speirs and wave hello to the police officers as he flew on by

Steve Evanson- Griffyndor, but I’m sure that because he and Chuck are so tight with each other, they’d make Snape’s life a living, utter hell

Frank Perconte- short bean is a Hufflepuff but with Slytherin tendancies

George Luz- Hufflepuff, him and Chuckler would probably have the most fun putting spells on the plants

Donald Malarkey-Gryffindor, this kid’s got some guts in him, that’s for damn sure

Skip Muck- another Gryffindor, him, Luz, Malarkey and Penk would get into soooooo much trouble

Alex Penkala- Gryffindor, once more I sense a Ron/Harry/Hermione thing going on here

Ray Person- another motor-mouthed Gryffindor who does anything and everything on impulse

Walt Hasser- sweet bean is a Ravenclaw!! 

Nate Fick- Hufflepuff Head Boy, I mean hey, somebody’s gotta keep everybody in line right?

Spider Bites ~ Chapter seven

It was an average Saturday morning. Niki slept in for once in his spidey lifetime. Its been two weeks since he and Maddie started dating and things have been going well for the teens. The young teenager slips out his bedroom towards the living room where he notices his cousin and sister just casually watching the TV.

''Morning Hee, morning Lu.'' Niki greets as he sits down on the couch.

''Morning. Have you just woken up?'' Heeseung questions.

''Yeah needed to catch up on sleep.'' Niki responds, making the elder nod.

''You meeting up with your little girlfriend today?'' He asks with a smile.

''She's at her grandma's for the weekend.'' Niki answers.

''How about a twin day?'' Luna suggests.

''Sounds good to me. Where's May?'' Niki asks, noticing the lack of presence from his aunt.

''She's at work. I'm leaving in twenty minutes too.'' The eldest answers.

''Alright, so twin day?'' Luna nods at her brother. Niki nods with a smile, heading back to his room to get ready.

Twenty minutes later Heeseung leaves for work as well as the twins for their day out. The siblings walk into the city from their apartment, deciding to go grab some food. Heading to their favourite sandwich shop on the corner of Enha street, the twins day seems to just get better.

''Ahh my favourite customers! Niki, Luna, the usual?'' The store owner, Kim Seokjin calls as the small bell above the door rings and the twins walk in.

''Hi Jin Hyung, yes please, plus two soda's.'' The owner, Jin, smiles and nods at the teens request. The two take a seat at the counter waiting for their food.

''How have you both been?'' Jin asks the twins as he passes them their drinks.

''We're alright. How's the business going?'' Niki responds as Luna quietly pets Mocha, Jin's cat.

''Its good, busy some days, Mocha's here to keep the customers calm though.'' Jin answers, petting his cat as well. Niki smiles as he does and then their sandwiches come out.

''Eat up kids!'' Jin shouts as he goes to serve another customer.

''Thank you!'' They call back at the same time.

''What did you wanna do after this, Lu?'' Niki questions as they both eat.

''I don't know, head to the park?'' The younger twin suggests.

''Sure sis.'' Niki responds.

As the two finish up, making sure to leave Jin a tip, they continue with their sibling day. Stopping at the park to relax in the sun and chat about random things.

After a few hours the twins decide to head on home. As they walk down the back streets towards their apartment, as its a shortcut to home, Niki suddenly gets a bad feeling. Stopping dead in his spot, Luna bumps into his back.

''Riki, what's wrong?'' She calls, looking up at her brother. Before Niki could answer, footsteps approach the two, the twins greeted with a small group of older men, Niki notices the guns poking out their jeans.

''Well, well, well, what do we have here?''

Niki looks at the group, knowing these are why he's got a bad feeling.

''Niki... lets go the long way.'' Luna mumbles, holding her brother's arm.

''They have guns Luna.'' Niki mentions to his sister.

''That we do little boy, what you gonna do about it huh? What if I did this,huh?'' One calls, with a laugh, pulling the gun out, aiming it at the twins. His three friends laugh as well.

Niki looks down at his hands. He knows he could take them especially using his powers, but he also knows he can't risk his identity. Just as Niki's about to make his decision, three figures drop down from the building above. When the three land in the light Niki recognises them instantly.

Blue Jay, Wild Dog and Cold Prince, or as Niki knows them, Jay, Jake and Sunghoon, his superhero seniors.

The three older heroes quickly handle the situation. The guns destroyed by Jay's strength, the criminals knocked out by Sunghoon as Jake stands guard. Once the four criminals are taken care of, the three masked heroes turn to the twins.

''You kids okay?'' Jay asks, putting on a fake accent to cover his real voice.

''Yeah... thanks.'' Niki mumbles.

''Good. Well you kids get on home now.'' Jake responds.

Niki nods, gently pulling Luna along, but he knows he'll have a visit later tonight from his three hero hyungs.

Starting a new story about Ella and Azrael's friendship. Hope it turns out okay.

Sanctuary

The silence is broken only by the raspy panting of her breathing and the slow agonized squeal of one of the tires that was still barely turning. The sides of the old station wagon press close around her as she dangles upside down, held in place by her lap belt but unable to see to the front of the vehicle where her parents had been laughing just a moment ago.

"Mami? Papá?" Ella cries breathlessly, struggling to turn and see them. There is no answer, and she desperately tries not to think about why that might be. She can feel her rapid heartbeats pounding in her fingertips, and then a rushing in her ears as darkness wraps around her once more. When she wakes, the awful squealing has stopped and there's a girl with a sad expression below her, sitting on what used to be the ceiling of the car. She's confused for a moment, because she definitely hadn't been in the car with them before. She has short, dark hair, enormous glasses that magnify her expressive eyes, and is wearing a funky assortment of mismatched clothes that the eight-year-old Ella can't help but admire.

"Who are you? Where did you come from?" She asks groggily. Her head feels a bit achy and fuzzy, like that time Jay dared her to hold a handstand for half an hour and she threw up on his shoes once she stood up.

"Ummm, hi?" The sad-looking girl seems surprised to be noticed, looking around as though Ella might be talking to someone else. Ella thinks to herself that even her voice sounds a little sad, and wishes she could give her a hug. "I'm, uh, Az- you know what? Call me Rae-Rae. That's what my favorite brother used to call me."

"Rae-Rae's a funny name." Ella rubs her eyes tiredly.

"Oh, yeah? What's yours then?" she challenges. 

"I'm Ella. Ella Lopez." The girl twists to look toward the front of the car.

"Oh, hey Ella, dont turn around just now, okay? Just, um, talk with me for a little bit, huh?" She gives Ella a big smile and starts to reach for her hand but quickly pulls back.

"My head feels funny. I want my Mami." Tears start to leak from the corners of her eyes and tickle uncomfortably as they trace up her forehead and into her hairline.

"I know kiddo, but... She's not here. Maybe we can try to get you out of this thing, huh? I don't think humans are supposed to be upside down for this long. Can you reach the ceiling with your hands?" 

Ella's arms are already extended that direction, and with a little stretching, she finds that she can. Rae-Rae instructs her to brace with one hand, unbuckle the belt with the other and brace until her feet meet the ground.

"Almost like a cartwheel!" Ella declares proudly once she is crouching next to the older girl. Ella has been trying very hard to succeed in a cartwheel for months now. Ricardo has been relentless in teasing her for her inability to perfect it. She starts to launch forward to throw her arms around the older girl at her almost-cartwheel-success, but the other girl flinches away.

"Yeah, you nailed it, girl!" Rae-Rae applauds awkwardly. "Let's, uh, head toward the back there and crawl out through the window, okay kiddo?"

"My name's Ella." Ella reminds her, noticing that Rae-Rae has been very careful to keep between her line of sight to the driver's and passenger's seats, and diligently remembers not to think about why that might be. She turns quietly, waddles crouched across the ceiling of the car and squeezes out the shattered back window and into the ravaged grassy ravine where the car rests. Rae-Rae follows after her, and leads her a little distance away before settling down cross legged in the grass. Ella sits nearby with her knees pressed against her chest, tiny arms wrapped tightly around them.

"What do we do now?" Ella asks quietly, sounding lost. Her fingers worry the shiny cross around her neck that had been a gift from her parents for her eighth birthday, just a few weeks ago. Rae-Rae's eyes are drawn to the movement.

"Well, I guess now we wait for someone to come and help."

"My parents." Ella sniffles quietly, her eyes burning. "They didn't make it. Did they?"

"Ella..." The older girl hesitates. "I'm really sorry, but they didn't. They crossed over safely, and they'll be waiting for you in Heaven, but you can't be with them right now. They love you so much, but they were so happy that you were safe."

The tears are back now, and Ella sobs into her knees as she rocks herself. Azrael sits in silence and watches her, compassion lighting her dark eyes. Once the initial storm of tears passes and Ella's breathing has almost returned to normal, she peeks up from her huddled position to see Azrael leaning back, staring at the brilliant stars above. Ella copies her, gazing into that infinite velvety blackness sparkling with flickering pinpoints of light.

"My favorite big brother used to tell me stories about the stars, you know." Rae-Rae says conversationally, her voice still tinged with that ever-present sadness. "How they were created. How they burn, and expand, and collapse. We used to just talk about everything. And nothing. And it was amazing." 

Ella wipes her nose with her jacket sleeve. "You don't talk anymore?" Her voice is quavery, but she seizes the distraction from her overwhelming grief with both hands.

"Well...no." Rae-Rae shifts uncomfortably. "We kind of, can't talk anymore."

"Why not? What happened? Don't you miss talking to him?" Ella scoots closer to the strange girl, wanting to offer comfort, but unsure how.

"Jeez Louise, of course I do! But, I can't talk to him. Because... He had to leave home, and I can't go visit him." Her gaze is fixed on a blue wildflower in front of her left foot.

"Why can't you visit him? Or why can't he come visit you?"

 "He and my Dad don't get along anymore, so we just can't-"

"That's not fair!" Ella interrupts, pushing to her feet at the injustice. "You shouldn't have to lose your brother just because of a fight with your dad!" She starts again to offer a hug to the girl, who she is already starting to think of as a friend, but Rae-Rae flinches back again, more violently this time.

"You're... You're right, Ella, but... It's probably too late now anyway." The last part of that was quiet, probably meant to be aimed at herself.

"What do you mean too late? What happened?"

"Uh... I'm a ghost." The last words fall from Rae-Rae's mouth in a burst of speed. Ella's reddened eyes widen until they seem to fill her entire face.

"You're a ghost? How come I can see you, why can you talk to me?"

"I'm not sure. You must be special, Ella." A small smile flickers across the young girl's tear stained face. Shouting voices drift to them through the still night air, and red and blue lights start to reflect over the lip of the ravine. "I think your cavalry has arrived, Ella, so I've got to go. I'm glad I got to meet you. Smell ya later, Lopez."

"Rae-Rae?" The girl whispers, "Thank you for helping me." But when she turns, the ghost is gone.

************

The first few months after the accident were full of tears, nightmares, and arguments. The rescuers had launched a search for the girl Ella described to them, but she wasn't found. Abuelita moved into the house with Ella and her brothers and was slowly imposing a new normal over the household. There was a lot less laughing, and a lot more praying now.

Ella is playing in her room, setting up an obstacle course for the spider that lives in the top pane of her window. She hasn't figured out yet how she's going to get the spider to do the obstacle course, but she saw a movie once that said, "If you build it, they will come," so she wants to test that theory. She hears a soft whooshing noise, and looks up from the tiny balance beam

"Whatcha doing, Lopez?" A familiar voice asks quietly, and there is Rae-Rae sitting across the course from her.

"Rae-Rae!" Ella exclaims excitedly, "I was starting to think I wouldn't see you again! I told the rescue people about you, but they couldn't find you!" She launches toward her friend for a hug.

The girl is suddenly across the room, but gives her a warm smile. "Ghost, remember? You can't touch me. Nobody can see me, and I officially don't exist."

Ella looks offended. "You exist! You're my friend!" Her chin juts stubbornly. "I didn't care what those doctors said."

"Doctors? Why, where you hurt in the crash?" Rae-Rae looks anxious

"I wasn't hurt," her bright eyes darken a little. "But there were four of them. For therapy."

"Four?"

"Uh-huh. They kept sending new ones."

"Why?"

"I kept biting them." The older girl's eyes widen behind her thick glasses at Ella's matter of fact confession. "They kept telling me you weren't real."

"Wow, Ella, that's..." The ghost appears lost for words. "That really stinks. Since I'm kind of not real, I guess they're not completely wrong, ya know?"

"You are TOO real, or else how could you be here talking to me? You wouldn't have a brother if you weren't real."

"I guess you've got me there," Rae-Rae chuckles. "If Lu is real, then I must be, too."

"I was thinking about that," Ella leans forward and whispers conspiratorially. "If you want, I can write a letter to your brother for you! Just tell me what you want me to write and I'll mail it for you!" The little girl looks very proud of her solution to her friend's problem.

"Oh hey, Ella, that's super sweet, but," the ghost's gaze fixes on the tiny spider-size monkey bars in the course. "I don't know Lu's address. I'm pretty sure he doesn't get mail where he is, anyway. What are you building here?"

Ella's a little disappointed that her letter idea can't help her friend, but gladly launches into a detailed description of Frank the spider and his obstacle course. Rae-Rae asks good questions and pays close attention to the girl's ideas, even offering up some of her own. When Abuelita calls up the stairs that dinner is ready, Ella turns to answer her. When she turns back, a breeze fans her face and her friend has disappeared again.

"Bye, Rae-Rae. Thanks for coming to see me!" Ella whispers, then heads downstairs, her ponytail bobbing happily behind her.
