The “Hayden on Ice” Series:

“Coach Hayden vs. The Tiny Terror League”

Husband! Hayden x Wife Reader

1 — 2 — 3 — 4 — 5

One whistle. Zero sanity.

Saturday Morning – 8:45 a.m.

The rec center rink was chaos.

Half the kids were upside-down in their gear. One had already lost a skate. Someone was eating snow.

And in the middle of it all stood Hayden. Clipboard in hand. Leafs jacket zipped to the chin. Whistle already in his mouth.

You stood on the bleachers, sipping coffee and watching him try to give a pep talk to seven tiny hockey players with the attention span of goldfish.

“Okay team! Today’s game plan is: have fun, try to skate in the right direction, and—uh—y’know—believe in yourself, yeah?”

A kid raised their hand. “Coach, can I fight someone?”

Hayden blinked. “Uh—let’s maybe save that for junior league, buddy.”

9:02 a.m. – The Game Begins

Team names were drawn from a hat.

Hayden’s team: The Frosty Pucks.

The opposing team: The Ice Bananas. (They did, in fact, have banana stickers on their helmets.)

Referee: A 17-year-old with AirPods in and the haunting look of someone who just wanted volunteer hours.

First Shift

Barron fell three times before reaching the puck, then got tangled with another kid and somehow accidentally scored in the wrong net.

Hayden shouted, “That’s okay! Good hustle! Just… wrong direction, champ!”

One kid sat down mid-play and made snow angels in the ice.

Another tried to use their stick as a horse.

Hayden blew the whistle. “REGROUP, GUYS! STRATEGY HUDDLE!”

They skated directly past him and started chasing each other in a circle.

You snorted into your coffee.

Second Shift

One of the Frosty Pucks stopped to hand Hayden a crumpled drawing mid-game.

“It’s you. As a robot.”

Hayden stared at the stick-figure sketch. “This… this is incredible.”

“Coach, I peed,” said another, skating over.

“…Okay! Time-out!”

Mid-Game Interview (That You Absolutely Filmed)

You pointed your phone at Hayden from the stands.

“How’s the game going, Coach?”

He looked directly into the camera, eyes hollow.

“I’ve aged ten years. I gave them positions, and they made a conga line. The goalie’s doing pirouettes.”

A whistle screeched in the background. A child shouted, “VIVA LAS BANANAS!”

Hayden sighed. “I don’t think I’m winning the Jack Adams this year.”

Final Minutes

The game was tied 1-1, entirely by accident.

Hayden dropped to one knee beside Barron. “Okay, buddy. This is it. One shot. You got this.”

Barron nodded seriously. “Can I hit the banana kid?”

“…No. Just the puck.”

❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

Final Play

Barron skated. Tripped. The puck somehow ricocheted off his helmet and slid straight into the net.

Hayden went feral on the bench. Arms in the air, Leafs hat flying. “GOOOOOOOAL! THAT’S MY BOY!!”

The Ice Bananas coach clapped politely. A toddler nearby cried because “the puck didn’t say goodbye.”

❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

Post-Game Locker Room

Hayden handed out orange slices and congratulated every single kid with the seriousness of an NHL postgame speech.

“You all played with heart, grit, and confusion. That’s what hockey’s all about.”

Barron tugged on his jacket. “Daddy, can we get ice cream?”

Hayden nodded. “You scored the winning goal with your face. You get two scoops.”

❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

Later That Night

You and Hayden curled up on the couch. He was still wearing his “COACH” badge sticker.

“I don’t know how actual coaches do it,” he said. “My team tried to eat their mouthguards.”

You kissed his cheek. “Still the best coach I’ve ever seen.”

He smiled. “Thanks, babe. Next week we’re working on stickhandling. And maybe, y’know… basic physics.”

Tell us about the top three sports in oblivion. And also which one you'd play if they were real

Hayden and I are both giant nerds so sports are not really something we've touched on. so here's just all the sports since there's not much substance to most:

The biggest one is EASILY @erezar-zaral-rezanova's Planet Dusting. It's racing taken to the furthest extreme, building a ship to go as fast as possible, with the only limit being how fast you can go before your ship is ripped apart from the speed. It gets its name from the tracks of the big leagues, where racers are going around entire planets. Smaller leagues have smaller tracks, but when you think of Planet Dusting you think of ships circling the entirety of a barren planet in mere minutes. It's pretty popular in both the Court of Trifalla and the Zion-Itan Alliance's space.

Merzen has a few that we've really only touched on a bit- being such a cold planet, they're big on "winter" sports. They have one that's essentially hockey-football, though we haven't done much with that. They do have a full-contact soccer too, played with a solid ball because the ferocity would destroy a normal soccer ball. Magic is also allowed, the only rule is that you can't kill the audience. Killing other players is allowed though, and they usually don't go a season without at least one death either on or off the field. Percentage-wise, they have the same death and dismemberment rate as unregulated factories.

Lots of Solraine societies, Especially Zion, have a really healthy coliseum/sparring culture. Unlike Merzen, you're genuinely not allowed to kill your opponent, but watching some of the big name spars is a Real show. Especially when king Grisvaldt steps on the field.

If you permit Nerd Sports in here then Ita is (probably, waiting on a response) rife with all sorts of competitions. Battle bots, engineering competitions like rocket design, large-scale science fairs, etc. Most interesting to me personally would be the existence of something like FIRST Robotics, where teams compete to complete tasks faster than the other with robots they build at the start of the season. Each season is different and requires use of a different robot- partially because those are the rules, and partially because the tasks can be wildly different every year. (Though maybe I'm biased because I used to compete in FIRST)

The Hayden Young Project - Skill Variations, PM1

Unlike the personality variations, Hayden's skills are additions rather than an integral part of the story. This means that if you chose a particular skill, there is often no specific variation if you don't have it - the scene just goes on without any reference to said skill. Wherever there are significant variations as a result of the lack of a particular skill, I will add the same to the post on that scene.

I will be following the same pattern for PM2 that I followed for Book 1 - two skills in a playthrough each - in a separate masterlist.

Stolen Hope - Also on Ao3

Fandom: Legends of Tomorrow, Arrow (TV 2012) Rating: Gen Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Sara Lance/Ava Sharpe Characters: Ava Sharpe, Sara Lance, Team Legends Additional Tags: Season 3, Crack, A little bit of hurt Summary: If she's lucky, the Legends won't notice her, but when has Ava ever been lucky.

Ava hears them before she sees them. Sara, Nate, and she guesses a miniaturized Ray enter into the museum atrium outside the Hope Diamond exhibit wearing the most absurd fashion. Nate is wearing a black t-shirt that is both too tight and with sleeves too small, while Sara is wearing a bright blue suit jacket, complete with shoulder pads and teased hair that Ava is pretty sure she’s the only one that can pull off. They can make fun of her pantsuit all they want, but at least it is discreet.

Any idiot could spot them in a ten mile radius.

Her eyes narrow when Sara spots her, a manic grin on her face as she waves goodbye to Nate and strides over next to Ava.

“If it isn’t my lovely fiancee.” Sara calls a little too loudly.

“Shut up,” Ava hisses out, “What are you doing here? And we are not fiancees. We can’t even be married in this time period.” Can’t she have a little bit of respect for the timeline? Did she forget she traveled to 1989?

Sara clutches her chest, “You wound me. You accept my marriage proposal and then try to deny it ever happened.”

“Do you want to create another anachronism?”

“Oh relax, people will just think we’re joking. No one pays attention to anyone else.”

Ava huffs, “And why are you here?”

“Did you fall down a couple flights of stairs recently? Obviously we followed the anachronism here.”

“But why this one?” Ava hates the whine in her voice.

“I thought you’d miss me,” Sara grins. “Don’t want my fiancee running off.”

“You’re impossible.”

“But, I can be impossibly in love with you.” Sara says and then flushes red, “I mean, we can work together on this one since we’re both here.”

“Fine.” Ava grits out, “Only because I don’t want you and your team completely screwing this up. This is an extremely delicate situation.”

“It’s only a level 3,” Sara bristles.

“The anachronism is from the future, we have limited information on what capabilities they possess, the only known is that they possess a gas that knocks people out, and in some cases kills them.” The anachronism had only registered because the only one killed had been some random actor who was still a child.

“We’ll be good,” Sara promises.

Ava had her doubts, “Where’s the rest of your team?”

“Amaya and Zari are on the ship,” Sara confirms, “Firestorm is working security, Mick is lingering around the entrance, and Ray and Nate are trailing Hayden.”

“Hayden?”

“The actor that dies?” Sara frowns.

“Right,” Ava nods. “That guy.”

“Are you sure you didn’t fall down some stairs?” Sara takes a step closer to her and Ava feels her face flush.

“I’m fine,” she insists.

“You didn’t read the target’s name?”

Ava scoffs, “Like you guys read, you just have the robot tell you everything.” And so what if she’d skimmed past the actor’s name, it wasn’t like that was really relevant. It was obviously a random attack.

“AI,” Sara corrects, “And it’s name is Gideon.”

“Whatever.”

“This is why she doesn’t like you,” Sara says, “I know you know her name.”

“Gideon.” Ava repeats as she rolls her eyes. “Happy?”

“No-” The rest of Sara’s retort was cut off by what Ava figured was someone talking through the comms. “Thanks Jax. Stay in position and let me know if there’s anyone else weird. Mick, trail him.”

“What?” Ava bumps her, “What are they saying?”

Sara’s eyes dance, “Hmmm.”

“Lance,” She bit out.

“It’s Captain.”

“Captain Lance, what did your team say?”

Sara smirks at her, eyes dancing across Ava’s face, “Suspicious person just entered the museum, Jax and Stein tagged them during the security check. Mick’s following and Nate will meet up with him.”

There’s a maintenance hallway through that door,” Ava nods towards the white door just to the left of them.

“Okay, so lead them there. I’ll follow your lead.” Sara relays their plan over the comms.

“Come here,” Sara then drags her against the wall.

“What are you doing?” Ava hisses.

Sara rolls her eyes, “We need to get into position. And look inconspicuous.”

“Oh right, two women, it’s totally inconspicuous in this time period.”

“Ava, gay women have existed forever and it’s 1989 in Vancouver Canada, we’re not exactly in Salem. And, no one is going to be paying attention to us. Which is the point.”

Sara adjusts Ava’s hands so one was just above her butt and the other was wrapped around Sara’s shoulders. “Now, act like you enjoy spending time with me.”

“I’m not a professional actor, Lance.”

“Ha ha,” Sara deadpans.

Sara’s body presses into hers, fitting smoothly despite their height difference, and Ava feels her face burn. It wasn’t hard at all to stare into Sara’s bright blue eyes and pull Sara into her.

“The man will be here soon.” Sara whispers into her ear, hot breath cascading a shiver down Ava’s spine.

Sara leans back, and Ava sees her eyes dip down her face. She absentmindedly licks her lips. Her wrist buzzes and Ava slams her head against the wall.

“He’s here.” She mutters.

“Where?”

Ava glances at her Time Courier, the readout displaying the presence of future tech in the direction of a man with a bulky backpack and bizarre looking sunglasses. “There.”

Sara nods first at her, and then at Nate who was hovering in the hallway that leads away from the Diamond. The man took two more steps forward and Sara spun.

In one moment, Sara was leaning up against her, and then next she was twirling towards the man and putting him in a headlock. Ava barely has time to open the door and Sara shoves the anachronism inside. Ava lets the doors shut behind them.

“The fuck?!” A man’s voice sounds.

“It’s over,” Sara says. “Come quietly and you won’t get hurt.”

He kicks out, a leg connecting with Sara’s knee and she releases him with a forced whimper. Ava reaches out to grab him, when he pressed a button on the side of his glasses. A metal mask slides down and covers his face, and he points his fist at Sara.

A cloud of white gas hisses out, and Sara falls to her knees, holding her neck as she begins choking. Ava comes on the other side and punches his jaw. The mask crumples like foil and he drops his hand. Immediately, the gas stops and he runs, sliding underneath Ava’s attempts to grab him and races out the hall.

Ava catches Sara as she falls face forward, and turns her over. Her skin is rapidly paling and her breathing is raspy and hollow as one of her hands claws at her throat. Ava places her hand on her chest, and after a moment feels the dull thud of Sara’s heart. Each beat gets progressively slower.

“Fuck,” Ava mutters.

Ava picks a twitching Sara up, noticing for the first time the museum alarm was blaring. The man had disappeared. Ava peers through the doors, and nods for Nate.

“She’s out cold,” Ava says as he runs over, “We need to get her back to your ship. The suspect-”

“Ray’s tailing him, he got the diamond.”

“What?!”

“Um, yeah, not important, let’s go.”

Not important? Ava held back the urge to yell at him, because they need to get out of there. “Let’s go through here,” Ava says, nodding at the maintenance hallway. The atrium was quickly filling with security guards.

“Let’s go.”

Ava hardly remembered getting back to the Waverider, but suddenly she was standing next to Sara as Professor Stein hooks her up to the medical bay.

“How’s it look, Gideon?” Jax asks.

“The gas is shutting down her lungs,” Gideon comments, “I am counteracting that and will push it out of her system.”

Everyone nods with an air of relief.

“That’s it?” Ava asks as she stares at the screens on the wall. She wasn’t sure where she was supposed to look to address Gideon.

“That’s it, Agent Sharpe,” Professor Stein says sharply.

Ava bit back a huff, “Alright, understood.” Sara looks so small where she rests in the chair illuminated by a faint, blue light. The twitching had stopped when she’d first been strapped into Gideon’s system and now her chest slowly rose and fell.

“Ray’s trailing the guy,” Nate says, “He’ll come back once he knows where the guy’s holed up.”

“Good.” Ava mutters, “We won’t be able to memory flash everyone who was at the museum, but once we get the diamond back we can replace it.” Everyone but Mick nodded, “And then the museum can scramble for an explanation.”

“Is that okay?” Zari asks, “Aren’t we supposed to fix it?”

Ava sighs, “We lost the chance for precision. The museum can take care of the fallout.”

“Sounds good.” Amaya says.

“Now what?” Mick grunts.

“We wait for Ray to return.” Ava answers. Mick nods and exits the med bay followed by Amaya and Zari.

The screen above Sara starts to rapidly beep. “Gideon?! What’s happening?” Professor Stein commands.

“Captain Lance’s heart accelerated as I purged the last of the toxin from her system.” Gideon answers. The beeping stopped.

“Is she alright?” Jax asks, a touch of panic in his voice.

Sara’s eyes twitched open and everyone held their breath, “Aww, did you guys miss me?”

“You know we can’t do this without you, Captain.” Professor Stein’s hand fell away from his heart.

“Captain Lance, the toxin is purged from your system.” Gideon announces.

Sara grins at Professor Stein. She still looks a little pale as her eyes roam the small crowd that was in the medbay. She frowns, “Ava, you’re still here?”

“Your fiancee was just organizing us.” Jax adds.

Ava froze as every eye trunks to her, “Glad you didn’t die.” She settles on.

Sara shoos the rest of the Legends away from the medbay, “Me too.”

“The anachronism got away but I damaged the mask he was using. I don’t think he’ll use the gas again, but we should be careful.”

“We?” Sara repeats.

“Well, I, um,” Ava sputters.

“You can go back to the Bureau, we have this handled.” Sara says, fiddling with the chunky wrist strap, “I’m fine, Gideon said so. No more toxin.”

“But-”

“Go.”

Ava’s jaw clenches, “Goodbye.” And with a snap of her wrist opens a portal.

She paces around her office as she checks the anachronism map again and again. It was now a level five, but hadn’t changed since she’d arrived. The Legends hadn’t blown up anything.

Yet.

“Ava, hi,” Gary pokes his head in, “You seem really tense, can I get you anything? Coffee? Juice? Water? A massage?”

“No!” Ava yells at him, “I’m fine!”

He quivers back, “Okay, sorry.”

Ava massages her temples. “Wait, Gary, sorry.” She sighs. “You know the Legends, they just make me so, ugh-”

Gary nods, “angry.”

“What?” Ava frowns, “No. They can never do anything cleanly! Did you know they were at my anachronism today?! Sara gets hurt and then kicks me out of the mission!”

“She can do that?”

“No,” Ava grit her teeth, “I just let her do that! How could I? That undermines everything the Bureau stands for!” She fiddles with her Time Courier, ready to open a portal back onto the Waverider, and takes a deep breath.

No, she wasn’t going to go crawling back to Sara fucking Lance.

The anachronism map beeps and Ava races over to, cursing to herself when it is just a notification about a situation in Japan.

“You know,” Gary says, “I have some paperwork I forgot to complete.”

He backs out of her office.

“Okay, fine Gary.” She restarts her pacing.

The door opened again not long after.

“What is it Gary?” Ava grumbles.

“Do I look like Gary?” Sara laughs.

Ava whirls around and frowns, “Who let you in here?”

“Gary.” Sara smiles as she rounds Ava’s desk and takes a seat in her chair. “Comfy.”

“What do you want?” Ava asks, fingers itching as Sara picks up one of Ava’s pens and begins to twirl it around her fingers.

“I was going to ask if you wanted to join us on our mission? Ray’s back with the ananchronism’s hiding spot.”

“Are you allowed to go out?” Ava asks.

“Why do you care?”

“I’m not having someone die on my watch due to medical negligence.”

“I’m fine,” Sara says, eyes rounded, “Gideon gave me the all clear.”

Ava frowns, that wasn’t convincing at all. “Fine, I’ll come.”

If she didn’t then the Legends might end up killing their Captain.

“Excellent,” Sara grins and pulls Ava over. She grabs the wrist with the Time Courier.

“Hey!”

A portal is already opening and Sara motions in front of her as if to say, ‘after you.’ Ava bites down a growl and walks through.

It leads to a dusty warehouse, with fading sunlight barely illuminating it. The rest of the Legends crouch against some rotting wood and tarps.

“She came.” Mick grunts out. “You owe me twenty bucks.”

“Later,” Jax hisses.

“Alright Legends, let’s get hope back.” Sara says.

“Ugh,” Zari says next to Ray, “That was terrible.”

Nate grimaces next to Ava, “He’s in that room.” He points at what Ava could only assume used to be a breakroom.

Sara nods at Jax, already merged with Stein, to stand next to the door. “I’ve got your back fiancee.”

Ava doesn’t mean to yell, “I am NOT your fiancee!”

There is a beat of silence.

Whoops.

The door bursts open, the man holding a gun and his arm up. The mask is still extended down his face, but there’s a stripe of duct tape where Ava cracked it.

“Great.” Sara sighs.

“Sorry.” Ava mutters, though it was doubtful anyone heard her as gun fire peppers through the air.

The group ducks down, as Mick and Jax return fire. Ray takes off flying and adds some barrages of his own. Ava peeks out, as the man swung his gun up to try and hit Ray, and sees that he was beginning to fill the room with the white gas.

“He’s risking the gas.” She says to Sara.

Sara nods, “Firestorm, fly up with Ray, continue firing.”

Ava and her creep around to cover his exist, and with two well placed volleys, Firestorm and Ray had him on the ground. Ava races over and secures him, pulling out the Time Bureau issued handcuffs and handing them to Sara. She clanks them on without ceremony.

“Um, good work Legends.” Ava says.

“Did she just say good work?” Nate mutters.

“Always happy to provide our services,” Sara says with a smirk.

Ava drags the man up by his collar and nods as Sara pulls out the Hope Diamond from his backpack. “I’ll take him back, you can return that,” She gives Mick a hard look and then salutes them, opening a portal to the Time Bureau as she turns.

The portal snapped closed behind her. A salute? Ava groans to herself and shoves the man towards the holding cells.

“Are you against marriage?” The man asks.

“What?”

“You hated being called a fiancee-”

“Oh shut up!” Ava says as she passes him off to another agent and memory flashes him.

Please, she prays, let the Legends never show up at one of her anachronisms again.

Comics I Read in 2024 Part 2

1. Chicken Devil Vol 1: Under Pressure by Brian Buccellato, Hayden Sherman, Hassan Otsmane, El Haou

This was a random recommendation from one of the comic shop vendors at Heroes Con this year. He saw me flipping through the trades and was trying to make me recommendations. At first he picked a generic one that women comedian wrote with bras in the titles. I wasn’t impressed and passed over it, but then I think I piqued his interest when I pulled out a Sandman universe comic so he recommended this. And for how dark this story really is, I found this comic hilarious. It’s about Mitch who runs a successful hot chicken chain in LA. His partner gets caught up stealing drugs from a local gang and chaos ensues, where part of Mitch’s warehouse burns. Then out of panic they plan an escape on Antonio’s yacht and being shady, Mitch convinces his family to join them, but then the yacht blows up as soon as they board. Mitch is devastated, losing control of not only his partner’s actions, but his life and so he starts wearing his restaurants mascot costume and taking matters into his own hands to get revenge. Only, he sucks at it. Most of the deaths aren’t him killing people (except rigging one of his pressure cookers up as a bomb), they are accidental and Mitch keeps digging himself deeper and deeper into trouble. Plus, turns out his family didn’t die so now he’s pissed this gang off for no reason. But at least the detectives that have been following him, decide to team up with him, citing they like what he’s doing, but that he sucks at it. I’ll admit, I’m curious enough to see what happens next.

2. 2-Land Issue #1 by Jay the Teller and Dr Inx

These guys approached me at Heroes Con this year and invited me to learn about 2-Land, a masked vigilante superhero of a teenage tiger who tries to do good for his community. The story itself is very much like a typical coming of age superhero story where DJ is learning how to fight with his two robot friends? (Can’t tell if they are real people on coms or not). And he gets in a little over his head fighting off an underground boss who is tired of him messing with his local supply. It almost ends disastrously but DJ prevails and continues to fight another day, even though his action is drawing attention of more villains. When I talked to Jay, he mentioned that the goal of the comic was to give kids a superhero to look up to and teach moral lessons to its readers. They even were developing a TV show, video game, and stuffed animal merch. This being the introductory novel, we didn’t get a lot of a deeper story, so it will interesting to see if they achieve their goals in the later issues, but I think its worthy that this is what they are trying to develop.

3. 2-Land Issue 2 by Jay the Teller and Dr. Inx

So in this next issue we learn that DJ has an uncle who knows about his vigilante justice and that the two people on coms seem to be real people who are helping DJ out with his uncle’s guidance. Still, DJ is naïve in thinking he can solve everything and gets into more trouble dealing with someone who is dealing war weapons in the city. This one also tried to push more of the morals that I was told it was going to and don’t get me wrong, I think its great that they are doing it and I think the story is okay. I just don’t feel like its deep enough or intricate enough for me to get into. And for kids its good, except for the violence and the themes surrounding the villains, so maybe older preteens/teens would be the target audience.

4. Zero Ghost (Ashcan Edition) by Justin Jordan, Brian Ching, Wil Quintana, and Micah Meyers

Got this at a panel at this years Heroes Con and it was cool to be interested in the concept of an Ashcan which is a free comic to promote a new series. And this one seems really cool. It’s like a touch of Kill Bill with a supernatural element and all set in a futuristic Hong Kong with its seedy underbelly. I would love to read the rest of the series once its ready to be released. It will be cool to see where it goes and I love that it is indie comic by Asian creators who can provide their own take on tropes like this.

5. The Samurnauts: The Curse of the Dreadnaughts by Fishman, Gnepper, and Wright

I got this comic at Heroes Con because one of the promoters liked my Doctor cosplay. As he tried to sell me on the comic, boosting that it had samurais, ninjas, pirates, cyborgs, and mecha suits, what ended up catching my eye was the actual art. This story tells a crazy tale of these samurai warriors throughout the ages and in different parts of the world/space and that’s reflected in the past eras because the art is different. In the early 15th century Japan, the comics are drawn and colored with pencil and its beautiful even if its about zombies and cyborg pirates. Then it gets a little more polished, but is still hand drawn in the 18th Century England. But present day storyline, which takes place in the future, it’s the typical high color, digital prints that is present in comics today. I find that pretty cool. And also the story was highly entertaining with a good mix of that power ranger like feel.

6. Saga Volume 7 by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan

The family is all together and Alana is pregnant again, so when and how will it go wrong? Don’t worry that happens very quickly. The group has to land on a moon to refuel and get stuck there for six months, but become friends with an otter family who they help feed. Still trouble is coming as a planet who has a face is coming to devastate the moon. The group finds out after Izabel gets killed, which one is impressive for a ghost but I hope this isn’t the first real death in the comic for one of the mains, and they go to find her and see the threat. But she is also killed by the new bounty hunter who is after Alana and Marko and they seem a bit more intense which is why the comic ends on a cliffhanger when they attack and knock out Alana, making it look like the second baby is lost. Meanwhile, the side story of The Will trying to track down Sophie continues and we see that even though he loses his license and is losing his senses. And then he gets captured after they kill his dog.

7. Saga Volume 8 by Fiona Staples and Brian K. Vaughan

Well, picking up from the horrifying end of the last comic, we end up on one of the Wings back planets called Abortion Town. Its interesting because the comics have tackled hard subjects, but the way they discuss and show abortion is actually great because Alana isn’t seeking one at 8 months because she suddenly doesn’t want one, her fetus has died and is causing her real harm. Plus cool magic spells that only Land Dwellers have. But Abortion Town won’t help her because she is too far along and so they have to risk going to the other side where the real monsters are. And it looks dicey and scary. Not too mention while Alana is dying, her powers get stronger conjuring a fictional version of a son they might have had. But it seemed like a healthy thing for Hazel to experience. They then arrive on the planet where they left Squire. How his royal highness will explain his new lover will be interesting. But we also learn that Will’s capture is suddenly more interested in the family so the hunt will only continue.

8. House of Whispers Volume 1: A Power Divided by Neil Gaiman, Nalo Hopkinson, Dominike “DOMO” Stanton, John Rauch

It was interesting to step into the Sandman Universe via a side story rather than the original saga. And while I got slightly spoiled about the Sandman comics, I was deeply engrossed in this collection just as much as the original comics. Instead of following the adventures of Dream, we learn that the goddess Ezrulie Freda who lives on a houseboat in Louisiana is suddenly torn away from the world and sucked into the Dreamworld, which is dying and missing a book from Ezrulie’s Nephew Shakpana. The book falls into the hands of two teenagers who accidentally unleash some of Shakpana’s powers of famine and pandemics into the world, cursing both of them with a death disease where they are alive, but merely just walking corpses. While Ezrulie and Uncle Monday try to find a way out the Dreaming to help and stop her nephew, bad things unfold in both the dreamworld and the living world and I can’t wait to see where more of this story goes.

9. Doctor Who: Eleventh Doctor Adventures Year 1 Vol 1: After Life by Al Ewing, Rob Williams, Simon Fraser, Boo Cook, Gary Caldwell, Hi-Fi

I have read the first issue of this series which is how the Doctor meets Alice, but boy am I glad to read the whole first volume because it answered so many of my questions about who John Jones was and how he joins the TARDIS, how they pick up Arc, and also how the Doctor falls victim to the Talent Scout (which I thought would be darker, but wasn’t that bad). So it was great to finally fill in the blanks. I love Alice and I like to see starts to get out of her depression and become awesome. She really is a rock for the Doctor and I really like the presence of an older companion with the Eleventh Doctor’s kidlike fascination or tantrums sometimes. Once I collect the full set I can’t wait to read these front to back and see the evolution naturally. But I also like how John Jones goes from terrible musician to star child of the pop world because he snuck away on the TARDIS.

20. Doctor Who: The Girl Who Waited and The Boy Who Lived Volume 2

I decided to reread this collection because as I was moving, I couldn’t remember the stories. Some of them came back to me like the football match against the Vikings to determine the reign of the area. Others, like the Jack the Ripper story, not so much. So it was fun to dive back in. This is a good collection of stories with The Doctor and the Ponds and I always appreciate that the stories can go in directions that the show can’t. Either with over the top and a crazy mix of storylines. Or the darker stories that you couldn’t necessary have on the show (though much milder than the Big Finish). Plus its nice to spend time with the Ponds and the Doctor without the larger plotlines and just enjoy the three of them working together.

Small sub-group mercenary team working for Status Quo, specifically the Annex building like we see in MP:N Arena. Team was originally founded by Andre Karter Santana, also known as K-9 who was a mercenary working for the Nevada Central Militia before ultimately settling to working under the Status Quo faction, later hiring an agent called William Fletcher, self-nicknamed B-Dog, as his sidekick.

Shortly after B-Dog, they'd later find a rogue experiment during one of their missions. He was later adopted to the group and named Otto (in reference to a tag on his ear that read O2). Otto was unstable, but oddly tame despite his appearance and pure raw strength. He was of course, handicapped in a way, relying on a makeshift mask as his breathing modules were unfinished alongside being partially blind.

In search of hiring more firepower, K-9 meets Hornet. Not much was known about him, being often bitter and avoidant. Hornet would later be hired but their ways of leading a mission would often clash between him and K-9, even after hiring more hirelings. Speaking of said hirelings, the following were added to the team:

Juito, a past NC Asylum patient who was let go for unknown reasons. Though one would think he wouldn't be the best fighter, unable to wield fireweapons or any guns for that matter. He can swing an axe pretty well.

8-Ball, ex-Vandevice mafioso. Said to have family ties within the faction, left abruptly due to personal reasons he rather not say. Classified as a brawler and skilled fighter for the team.

Hayden, originally an SQ trooper that eventually got tied up into the team. He'd die constantly, causing his body to slowly degrade each time he was re-cloned and put back together. His memory was affected, unable to recognize themselves, but that never got in the way of his lighthearted goofy personality.

Cap'n, joining couple years after the team was settled. A retired MERC captain who'd travel all the way from Nexus City to Nevada Central in search of a nicer life for him and his wife (who at that time was in hiding deep within the nevadean wastelands), Cap'n would work under SQ in the team as additional support.

Viky, ex-MERC scientist/engineer. In means to pursue her own projects in robot engineering they'd have made a lot of enemies within Nexus City and the MERC faction specifically. Meeting their now husband Cap'n shortly after his retirement due to an incident that crippled him, she'd take the opportunity to build aiding prosthetics which during those times they'd gotten close. (had this in the drafts for a few days, figured i'd share it now to give more info about them)

Hornet's Team art dump over the years and a quick rundown of their dynamics. Few things to get clear first before working on a proper description for each of them: - K-9 and Hornet are co-leaders of the team, K-9 originally founded the team but due to Hornet's more strict leadership the hirelings tend to listen to him more. They'd also constantly argue and bicker due to past events that permanently stained things between them. - Hirelings Juito, 8-Ball and Hayden are in a polycule. - Cap'n and Viky are married. - During a time where Viky lived in the nevadean wastelands, she adopted a teenaged bandit named Moss. - B-Dog is Otto's caretaker, Otto doesn't seem to respond as well with the other members other than him. anyways theres a whole lot more to add later, so have this for now :)

Other End of the Line - Damien x MC

Summary: After the late night search with Nadia, Kai feels scared and alone, so turns to the only person they know will be on their side— Damien.

Pairing: I wrote this as Damien/MC (I used the generic name, Kai, and no pronouns) but this could technically still be Gen

Warnings: some strong language I guess?

Word Count: 1,626 oops!

Author’s Notes: Ahh! This is the first time in 6 years I’ve posted any writing online and the first time ever on Tumblr! I couldn’t get this out of my head, and it’s part of the reason I made this sideblog haha. Even though I’m drakewalkerstan, I still LOVE Damien, so this was born! 

"Hello?" Damien blearily answered his phone, half-awake and blinded by the glare of the screen.

"Damien," he heard Kai hiss on the other end. "Shit, Damien, help..."

Damien was now wide awake, he sat up in his bed and switched on the lamp on his bedside table, jamming the phone against his ear nervously.

"Kai, are you okay? What's going on?"

"I... I sound fucking crazy. I think... I think Hayden's a robot. Steve too. I swear to god, Damien, please."

"Okay, what happened," Damien asked. He was half afraid that Kai was on something right now, but he didn't want to laugh the call off just in case. Kai was silent for a moment, concentrating on the sound of Damien’s breathing on the other end in order to calm down.

"Okay, I don't know if Nadia told you, but we were in a car crash an-"

Damien’s heart stuttered for a moment, then raced back to action double-time.

"WHAT? Okay, hold up! A car crash? Are you okay? Jesus, Kai, oh my god!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine, we're all okay."

"Thank god,” Damien mumbled under his breath, his eyes squeezed shut in relief. “What happened?"

"We were driving back from the waterfall- Nadia, Steve, Hayden and I- and a deer jumped in front of the car, so Steve swerved and we crashed."

"Oh my god..."

"I’m fine, but... but Hayden tore open the car door and pulled me out."

There was a moment of complete silence, and Damien could only hear the sound of Kai's soft breathing on the other end of the line.

"What?"

"Yeah. I came to and I tried to get out of the car, but the door was totally smashed up and I just couldn't open it. Hayden was able to pry the car door open and get me out of the car. Nadia said it was adrenaline, but..."

"No, yeah, that's weird."

"Plus I asked about it, and Hayden has no memory of it because of a concussion."

Damien turns over this information in his head, but no matter how he approaches it he can’t think up a logical explanation for the insane feat of strength. Kai, silent for a moment, can almost hear the gears in his mind turning on the other end of the line.

"Okay," Kai begins, "other weird things: the fact that Steve has no memory of how to get around his town?"

"Huh?"

"We asked him to take us to the local waterfall where he used to hang out as a teen and he had absolutely no idea where to find it- he was barely able to comment on anything unless we prompted him."

"What do you mean prompting?"

"Okay, so originally Steve just talked about the tourist attractions in town, and didn't even bring up the waterfall until Nadia mentioned that someone told her about it. And then he didn't know how to find it- even though he said he'd been there a few times- until Nadia had to remind him again."

"Kai, it was a while ago, maybe he honestly forgot about it."

"Okay, get this, we visited his house today and he was acting super weird."

Damien, though now more skeptical about the conspiracy theory, opens his mind once again to Kai.

"Weird how?"

Kai takes a deep breath and tries to recollect exactly what was so unnerving about what happened in that little farmhouse.

"When we got there, his dad Robert was joking around about how he was a rascally kid and he used to ride his horse Moonlight. Steve laughed and told his dad to stop messing with us, and he honestly didn't remember that he'd ever mentioned- or even had- a horse named Moonlight!"

Kai waited for any sort of reaction, but was once again met by Damien's silence.

"Okay," Kai snarked.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking," Damien murmured. "Wasn't he concussed?"

"If he was, he didn’t mention it. I don't think that's how concussions work though!"

"Hmm, okay. Is there anything else?"

"So his dad went to the kitchen and Steve showed us a picture of him as a teenager at a football game. When Robert got back-"

"Is Robert Steve's dad?"

"Yeah, sorry." Kai said. "So Robert walks back in and sees us with the picture and gets really mad. He calls Steve into the kitchen with him, so I eavesdrop-”

“That’s my Kai,” Damien interjected proudly. Kai could hear the grin in his voice, and chuckled for a moment before continuing on. In fact, while Kai was deciding whether or not to listen in on the conversation, Damien was a key factor in motivating the eavesdropping, but that’s definitely something Damien would get cocky about, so there’s no way he’s being told that.

“Robert is really mad at Steve for showing us this picture. He tells Steve, and I quote, ‘Our personal lives are our business.’ This is apparently a regular occurrence between the two of them, too.”

“That’s strange, I’ll grant you that, but maybe Robert is really private, or senile or something,” Damien said

Despite everything, Kai snorted at the suggestion.

“I doubt he’s senile, but it gets worse. Okay, fast forward to like an hour or two ago. We are all in the bed and breakfast and I wake up and hear Nadia shouting. Steve’s fucking gone.”

“WHAT? He left?”

Damien is filled with righteous anger on behalf of his friend and it makes Kai feel stupidly warm inside. Even though, both Kai and Nadia know that their friend is a little standoffish and cynical, but any show of caring from him never fails to put a goofy smile on Kai’s face.

“His suitcase is gone,” Kai continues, ignoring Damien’s outburst, “and neither Robert nor Steve are picking up their phones. Hayden calls the police then instructs us to stay in the bed and breakfast instead of joining the search, which…is weird?”

“Kind of, yeah. Hayden insisted you stay in the room instead of all searching together?”

“Yeah! Before even trying to call Robert or the police, it was just ‘I’ll search all of Cedar Rest, I won’t stop until I find him.’ So then Nadia and I say ���Fuck it,’ and we decide to go searching too. We head out to the waterfall, and we decide to split up-”

“Dumb.”

“-to search for clues. It’s a dinky old town, what’s dangerous about splitting up?”

“...Robots?”

“Shut up. So I find the picture that Steve showed us, which for the record is of him and his dad standing together at a football game. He also doesn’t look any younger than he does now, but whatever. You know what I notice?”

Kai waits for Damien to chime in with a ‘What?’ but he is silent.

“Okay… The matchmaker from Eros is IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE PHOTO.”

“What? Are you sure?”

“Positive! This is the exact same lady, sitting in the crowd at the football game, like… at least 5 years before he’s even supposed to be connected with Eros!”

Damien is, again, completely silent, but Kai can tell that he’s thinking about the new information. On the other end of the line, Damien runs his hand over his face, trying to think of any logical explanation of this connection, but his mind is blank.

“Yeah, that’s fishy. I believe you, something’s not right there,” Damien concedes.

“So I showed Nadia the picture, and when we came back to the bed and breakfast, I found a goodbye note from Steve right by the doormat of their room!”

“So he left of his own volition,” Damien said.

“Allegedly! Nadia went back to her room, she’s freaking out, and Robert, Steve and Hayden are all MIA.”

“So what’s happening now?”

“I’m in my bed, in case Hayden comes back,” Kai says, lowered to a whisper after realizing that the conversation had gotten way too loud. “It’s just- they’re both so perfect, and they’re both exactly in line with what we told to Eros, and with Steve’s weird past and Hayden’s fucking superstrength? Something’s not right and I’m freaked out.”

"Okay, everything’s extremely suspicious. I still don’t think they’re robots, but I’m honestly leaning towards them being a cult or something. I’m going to do some more digging into Eros, and into Steve and Hayden, okay? I’ll use some connections, try to find out how far back their records really go. You just need to stay safe and take care of you and Nadia for now.”

"Yeah. Thank you for believing me. I didn't know what else to do."

"It's no problem, I'm always here for you, Kai."

Kai sighed deeply and flipped over on the bed.

"I know I should have listened to you about Eros. Ugh, I'm so stupid..."

"No. Just because I was paranoid doesn't mean you should have been. It's good that you-"

"Shit shit I think Hayden's coming shit bye Damien"

"Wait, Kai, I-"

The sound on the other end of the line cut out and Damien pulled the phone away from his ear. Shit. He knew he wouldn’t be able to sleep now, so he got out of bed and opened his blinds, letting the early morning sun in before turning on his computer and starting his search.

On the other end of the state, Kai was stuffing the phone under the pillow and pretending to be asleep, as Hayden pulled back the covers and snuggled into bed. Kai’s heartbeat was racing, and the only comforting thought was that Damien was back home, looking for an answer. Kai felt kind of guilty, thinking about Damien like this while Hayden was curled up in the same bed, but Damien would not leave Kai’s thoughts or heart, no matter how much Kai tried.

[thedaredevilsgirl]

The dagger team overhearing a phone call from the r’s mom or dad and hearing the childhood nickname only to call the r the nickname teasingly during training or at The Hard Deck or anytime. I think it would be cute if the nickname was like cricket or something, maybe from a movie.

I love ur writing and I hope u have a fantastic day!

Little R2-D2

A/N: this is by far one of the funniest and cutest Headcanons I have ever written, I loved every part of it.

I guess everyone would have been in the break room when your parents started calling you by video call.

The rest of the squadron wouldn't be paying much attention to the conversation as your parents were just asking routine things, but everyone's attention is turned to you within seconds when your mother lets something interesting slip:

"I hope you are eating right R2-D2" the second your mother says this you realize that they are all looking at you with wide eyes and Hangman flashes a long mischievous grin before he frames himself next to you and starts talking to your parents.

"I'm Hangman, you've probably heard of me, but just to confirm, did you just call her R2-D2? Like the robot from Star Wars?" He would ask while you and Fanboy would say loud and clear that he was not a robot but a Droid.

"Yes, it's her nickname, she was obsessed with Star Wars, she has thousands of plush toys in her room, we ended up nicknaming her that" your mother tells not caring that she is embarrassing her own daughter in front of your second family.

Phoenix is next to enter the conversation and make your parents tell every little thing about your childhood, but your father ends up letting something even more embarrassing out:

"You must be Phoenix, she's always talking about you, I think she has a little crush on you" he says causing you to widen your eyes.

"Not just on her, she's also always sighing about someone named Bob" Bradley and Javy laugh as soon as they hear that "She thinks he's super cute" your mom completes and Bob looks at you shocked and also a little blushing.

"I guess that's a big improvement since she spent her whole teenage years having a crush on Anakin Skywalker" your dad says in closing.

"Ok, that's enough" you say ending everyone's fun "I have to go, bye."

"Bye R2-D2, we'll talk soon" they say before hanging up.

"I hope you know we are going to tease you about this for the rest of your life" Bradley says still laughing.

Bob and Phoenix still looked shocked that you had some crush on them while Javy and Jake laughed.

"Okay, I'm glad to hear you love Star Wars too, but a crush on Anakin? You had a crush on Darth Vader?" Fanboy asks half shocked.

"Have you ever seen Hayden Christensen? Of course I had a crush on Anakin" you say as if it is a valid defense.

Bradley was right, they start calling you R2-D2 every chance they get.

Sometimes Javy even makes robot sounds as soon as you enter a room and Mickey would call you Anakin's girlfriend.

Although a little embarrassing you still found it funny, and they would definitely stop the jokes if you felt uncomfortable.

And even though your mother saying in front of everyone that you liked Nat and Bob was embarrassing, it sort of helped the three of them to become even closer, maybe even evolving into a romantic relationship in the future.

At Christmas that same year everyone would be gathered at the Hard Deck for a small celebration.

Nat would say that they had a surprise for you and would tell you that everyone had gotten together to give you a special present.

Fanboy would put the big box on the table and when you opened it you couldn't stop laughing.

It was a blue helmet with glitter and strict R2-D2 in white, right below it would have a shirt saying 'officially married to Ankin Skywalker'.

"I hate you all" you would say but you had really loved those presents holding them carefully as you drove home with Bob and Phoenix.

Lightyear Special Look Reaction

           Pixar has given us a look at the new film about their intergalactic hero. What did we learn? This film will be a lot heavier than expected.

           We get a quick but detailed look at Buzz’s suit at the start. I think Pixar did a good job of taking the design from Toy Story and making it look like something realistic but also hi-tech.

           Is this film going to be a fun sci-fi movie for kids? Hell no! It’s going to be a gut wrenching look at what it takes to be a real hero. Buzz is the reason why his crew is marooned on the dangerous planet. He refuses help from his copilot and crashes the giant ship when they try to get off of the hostile planet the first time.

He acts very arrogant which hurts both him and everyone else. Then what happens when he tries to save everyone again? He jumps forward in time, leaving the fates of everyone he marooned unknown. He becomes a man out of time where everyone he knows is most likely dead. Pixar is not playing around with this sci-fi story.

Buzz helping Izzy and her team stop Zurg and his robot army will be his third chance at being a hero. I bet he’s going to be learning a lot more tough lessons in survival, ego, and comradery over the course of the movie.

I like how everyone on the team gets their own Star Command suits and that they each have their own colors. Not only does everyone get new suits but they also get an arsenal of cool looking guns. At the 2:02 mark, the old lady picks up a gun called MR-8OOM, which I can only assume will be the BFG of this movie.

Overall the special look gave us more plot details and showed us more of the action. With each new trailer I get more and more excited for this movie. If you want to get caught up on all things Lightyear, stay here on A7.

Choices 22 and general 32 for both of you! :3

(Tammy vc é perfeita, entenda, sdds de falar contigo mas a facul ta foda kk)

22. Choose five of favorite ships and tell us one headcanon you like best for said ships.

Logan and RoD MC would keep tabs on each other regardless if they choose to be together or stay apart after MC went to college;

Kenna and Raydan's heir was raised one of the best rulers of the Five Kingdoms because they have excellent diplomatic and combat skills, but they were also a compassionate leader that helped their people to thrive and turned Cordonia the rich country we see in The Royal Masquerade;

Hamid and Desire and Decorum MC's firstborn child ruled Edgewater many years before MC passed away. MC chose to give her title to her child sooner to she could travel with her husband;

Bloodbound MC encouraged Jax to reach out to his family;

Raleigh and Platinum MC eloped in a private island and the information was leaked after they ended up in a hospital in a small city of Puerto Rico because MC had an allergic reaction to a Puerto Rican dish. Her photos with a swollen face went viral, but she didn't mind and even made jokes about herself.

32. You can have one superpower – and only one. What is it, and why did you pick it?

Teleportation. Because a life with no traffic jam, motion sickness or getting lost (I have zero sense of direction 😅) would be amazing.

-cfwcadm

22. Choose five of favorite ships and tell us one headcanon you like best for said ships.

Drake x MC: They didn’t accept the duchess and duke title and they got back to NY.

M!Hayden x F!MC: Hayden was not a robot and they and their friends defeated Eros since they were conducting mind experiments without the victims consent.

Bryce/Raf x F!MC: They’re together and in love and everyone knows, MC reported the boss for harassment, and they finally could have a real mentor/teacher/boss to the team. 

Ben x MC: Ben is the most known artist and they are travelling the world going to events about comic and mc is working on her blog covering all the news and comic events they’re going.

Ian Kingsley x MC: He was not her professor, they don’t have to hide from anyone, they have a kinky relationship, and he helped MC to be a better student and to not care about mindless people as Poppy.

32. You can have one superpower – and only one. What is it, and why did you pick it?

Teleportation too. Because a life with no traffic jam, could sleep more in the morning... all I see is benefits... 😂😂😂

aight new things about Doom from the recent QuakeCon interview with Hugo and Marty

1. Swords and spears we keep seeing (the demonic crucible, the slayer’s crucible, sentinel’s weapons) are pretty much the same thing, but made from different sources of energy: sentinel weapons contain Wraith’s energy, demonic crucible is fully made of Argent energy. More often than not those are combined together, but blades that mostly consist of Argent energy are bright red. 

2. Dev team would love to show us what happened between Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal in a form of DLC or even a brand new campaign, but it’s too difficult and expensive to make because it requires new levels, weapons and character models. They will probably tell us about it in codex entries or comics. 

3. As we all remember, Hayden was the one who sent Slayer back in Hell. Not only Hugo hinted at the possible Seraphim reveal (something along those lines: ”...maybe he [Hayden] is a robot, maybe not”), but he also said that we MaYbE have a chance to confront Samuel about what he did to us in the end of Doom 2016.

4. We will definitely see the CEO of Hell in the upcoming DLC. 

5. Hugo promises to tie every lose end from Doom 2016. He also said that “if Doom is the Star Wars universe, then the DLC is a “Return of the Jedi”

DC: The High-School AU: The Series: The Staff (the musical)

So I finally cast the school staff and teachers for my DC High School AU, which I thought some of you would have some fun with! I took the subject list from a fairly fancy looking private school, because only schools you have to pay for have their subject lists online, so I’m probably offering way more classes than your average state school, but hey, it’s my AU and I wanted to cram in as many supervillains, obscure heroes, and bad jokes as possible.

Admin & Staff

Principle - Amanda Waller

Deputy Principle & Treasurer - Noah Kuttler (the Calculator)

Nurse - Myra Mason (she was Dr Midnite’s nurse and love interest in the 40s & 50s, then got fridged, but I’m unfridging her and giving her a job with much better survival prospects)

Councillor - Ethel Peabody (she’s a psychiatrist from the Gotham TV show, and also in my headcanon, Amanda Waller’s sister)

Librarian - Stanislaus Johns (The Librarian. I considered bookworm for this job but he’s literally called the Librarian, what was I supposed to do, not use him?)

Admin Staff - Laura Conway (Superman supporting cast and occaisional vampire), Mabel Martin (Riddler’s secretary), Theresa Collins (Goldstar, also Booster Gold’s secretary)

Business

Loren Jupiter (aka Mr Jupiter the richest and therefore most thrustworthy man in the world) - Business 101, Business Law, Entrepreneurship

Wesley Dodds (Sandman) - Business Communications

Annabeth Chamberlain (Brimstone) - Marketing, Hospitality & Tourism (she doesn’t work in tourism, but I figure anyone who can waitress while also having the power to set people on fire and damn them to hell and keeps her job probably knows a whole lot about customer service)

Family & Consumer Science

Miss Tribb (Lobo’s childhood teacher who inexplicably survived the extinction of their species) - Childhood Developement, Early Childhood Education

Neil Richards (The Mad Mod) - Texiles/Sewing, Fashion

Tenzil Kem (Matter-Eater Lad) - Food & Nutrition

Finance

English (the fancy private school called this ‘language arts’ which is so prentious it makes me feel slightly nauseous)

Wesley Dodds (Sandman) - English Language, AP English Language

Rac Shade (Shade the Changing Man) - English Literature, AP English Literature

Nick Scratch (officially his supervillain name is just Scratch, but I refuse to consider that a code-name, looking at you Drake) - Communications 102: Public Speaking

Harlan Graves (The Underbroker) - Stats, Algebra 1, Algebra 2

Angelo Bend (Angle Man, becuase I know I’m funny) - Geometry, Trigonometry

PE (I realise this is probably too many PE teachers but there are a lot more caonical althetes than just about any other job in the DCU except maybe scientist)

Lisa Snart (Golden Glider) - joint-coaches Cheerleading, coaches the Drill Team, Wrestling

Mary Louise Dahl (Baby-Doll, from B:TAS) - Film Studies, Video Production

Betty Bates (Lady-at-Law, who is technically owned by DC now due to corporate buy-outs) - Debate

Science (do you have any idea how hard it is to pin down areas of specialisation for comic book scientists? TNT is on this list entirely because he’s the only actual honest-to-god professional chemist I could find)

Kirk Langstrom (ManBat) - Biology, AP Biology

Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy) - Biology, Environmental Science

Thomas “Tex” Thomas (TNT) - Chemistry

Achilles Milo (Professor Milo, again not really much of a code name) - Chemistry, AP Chemistry

Will Magnus (I refuse to even dignify it as a code-name) - Physics, Earth Sciences

Ray Palmer (The Atom) - Physics, AP Physics

Adam Strange (DC is just doing this to fuck with me, personally) - Astronomy

Social Studies & Humanities

Barbara Minerva (Cheetah) - World History

Maxie Zeus (ffs) - World History, AP World History (fun fact, Maxie was canonically just a normal history teacher before he got lightning powers, became convinced he was Zeus incarnate, and set out to become a criminal, making him my favourite DC mobster by a country mile)

Terry Long (aka one of the only characters to really deserve to get fridged) - US History, AP European History

Eobard Thawne (every code-name he has is stupid, but lets just go with Reverse-Flash as the least awful option) - US History, AP US History

Nick Scratch - US Government, AP US Government, AP Comparative Politics

Magdalene Kyle-Burton (Sister Zero, she’s a sometimes-nun and a sometimes-sister to Catwoman) - Comparative Religion

Michael Carter (Booster Gold) - Economics, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics

Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) - Psychology (there is exactly one heroic psychiatrist in all of comics, and I’d already used Dr Fate elsewhere. Scarecrow seemed like the least bad option of the remaining pool for being around children, and he does at least have teaching experience)

Adam Strange - Sociology

Betty Bates (Lady-at-Law) - Law

Richard Occult/Rose Psychic (it’s complicated, lets just say Dr Occult and leave it at that) - part-time, Criminal Justice

Technology & Engineering

Ted Kord (Blue Beetle) - Electronics, CAD, Woodworking

John Henry Irons (Steel) - Engineering, Metalworking

Will Magnus - Robotics

Visual Arts

Linda Lee/Danvers (she’s Supergirl, but I’m making her a different character from Kara Danvers/Kent because the DCU is really short on artists and I needed someone to teach the damn class, although the only thing that really makes her distinct from other supergirls is that she fucked a horse that one time and IDK how that will translate into a personality...) - Ceramics, AP Studio Art: 3D Design, Art 101

Rex Tyler (Hourman) - Graphic Design, Drawing, AP Studio Art: Drawing

Jack Knight (Starman) - Painting, AP Studio Art: 2D Design, Art 101

Jennifer Lyn-Hayden (Jade) - Photography

So there you go - I’ll be honest I still don’t really understand how high-schools in the USA work, and I have no idea what Design studio art even is so I kind of assigned those ones at random, but now it’s done and cannot be changed.

As always this universe is open to prompts so if you want a chapter focussing on any of these characters just drop me an ask or a comment and I’ll see what I can do. Making Dr Occult & Rose Psychic a single gender-fluid person is already on my list to do, since that’s who I thought they were for a longest time when I started reading comics and I’m still kind of annoyed that isn’t canonically what’s going on.
