Cold Flames at Slaughter Swamp @ 11:09 pm

[info]dc_eldritch:

Slaughter Swamp has seen it's far share of dark deeds even before the place got it's name. A place of dark untapped power that has resulted in the creation of the being known as Solomon Grundy. Such power would would eventually attract someone who wished to use it. But such power does not always wish to be used and can and will try to defend itself.

In a pulse of dark power all of the dead in Slaughter Swamp arose as zombies to defend it. It also sent out a call to bring it's prodigal son home to help.

Calling For Backup (open to Shadowpact) @ 10:45 pm

[info]greatest_zatara:

It's late into the evening on the east coast when flashes of light appear to the members of Shadowpact. A distorted projection of Zachary Zatara's face appears, apparently in a state of mild panic.

"...i-- --ou ca-- ear me, I nee- -elp right away! --ake m-- -hand!" The vision shifts from his face to his left hand, outstretched. Even through the greenish glow of the projection's appearance, blotches of wet unnatural color can be seen marring his skin.
 

A quiet drink (open) @ 10:22 pm

[info]crossbow_bat:

Maria slid onto a bar stool and motioned to the bartender. She gave him a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. Planting herself on a bar stool and making friends with some drinks seemed like a good way to pass the rest of the evening. She had just gotten done with a quick patrol, her first since her run in with the Joker, and she needed something to help her wind down. It would also help her to stop thinking about Him for a little bit.

The bartender put a glass and a bottle on the bar next to her and poured some of the amber liquid into the glass for her. She smiled at him again and picked up the glass. Time to get drunk for a little while.

Poker Night(Open to Sucide Squad) @ 10:40 pm

[info]its_a_living:

After his talk with Carolyn about it Dean started running with the idea. He had sent out enough texts, messages, emails, notes, and post-its that it wouldn't take telepathy to know you would have to be lying to say you didn't hear about poker night. Dean had a table set up in the rec room with beer, soda and snacks for people. He was laying down on a couch shuffling cards.

The JLI had a little downtime, but it wasn't going to last. Explosions went off outside and the ground shook. When the JLI go outside they would see giant robots attacking. Two of their members were missing.

The Girl Talk @ 10:15 pm

[info]khym_jonzz:

So, she had a boyfriend!  That was terribly exciting news!  It had not gone exactly like the TV had said it would, but it was close enough.

News like this, of course, deserved to be shared with ones' girlfriends.  And since Petra was the first one she had shared with to begin with, she would be the first one she would share with again.

So it was that Kim arranged to meet with Petra at Warrior's once more.

Happy birthday Thomas (backdated to the 27th) @ 09:12 pm

[info]crossbow_bat:

Thomas was tough to shop for, but Maria managed to find a few things for him. She got a new collar for his cat. Pink with rhinestones. She also wrote out a note that gave him off a night of patrol duty and she would take it for him. He would also get a shirt. She also got him a gift card to Best Buy for a few hundred dollars.

She made him some cupcakes to go with his gifts.

Because if you don't practice, you may as well give the clarinet to a kid who will @ 08:22 pm

[info]littleladylord:

The team had been working on things. Cindy had meant it when she'd asked Gauntlet to leave and resolved that the team's period of complete incompetence and injuries-waiting-to-happen was over.

A lot of the security equipment she'd commissioned could double as obstacle course material, and there were several other workout options. And, for more direct combat-defense lessons, there was Saishu.

Cindy'd suspected that her own training sessions with Saishu had been, from a Bana perspective, the heavily toned-down version. And that had been extremely challenging for someone with nearly two year's training. So she'd tried to help rein things in a little, though Saishu was right. The bad guys wouldn't.

And there was improvement. There really was. But they had to keep working on it.

Andy's personal adjustment to learning to function hadn't gone well. Andy was now in a secure location. Andy would be safer and more comfortable there for now. That was all Cindy was going to say about that. But the six of them persisted.

She'd made sure everyone had a good chunk of their calendars cleared today. Now it was a matter of seeing who'd show up.

Shark Week (Open to Titans East) @ 10:27 pm

[info]allwet:

Shark Week was only a week away and Cerdian was needless to say very excited about. Just like he had been like since he was a little kid and uncle Roy introduced him to it much to his parents annoyances. He was watching some reruns from previous years in the titans east rec room while he worked on some paperwork for the research ship that he did a lot of work with. Nothing made doing paperwork easier that watching sharks.

Beating the Heat(Open to Young Justice) @ 10:12 pm

[info]in_a_snap:

Jerry took a seat on the couch in the Rec room at Young Justice's Justice mountain base and got ready to put on a movie. He had a big bowl of popcorn on the table with a couple of movie choices that he had brought from home.

It was really nice to be inside in the air conditioning instead of at home without it especially since the water wasn't really all that nice for surfing right now.

Sin enjoyed working in her mother's florist shop. She liked arranging bouquets, and helping people find floral arrangements that they liked. To her, it was soothing.

Today, Sin had no customers. It was a pretty slow day, so she did all the orders for the weekend that needed to be done. When she'd finished, she started experimenting with different arrangements. Sin hummed to herself, as she worked on arranging some daises into a wreath.

Self-Improvement (Open to Titans) @ 07:40 pm

[info]semievilgenius:
Tags:

 The incident with Ty had exposed a lot of glaring facts that Max couldn't ignore anymore. The fact of the matter was outside of a scientific capacity, Max was pretty much useless to the team. Scurrying around, avoiding the Fearsome Five  for fear of his life to save Cait had been a terrifying experience. Yeah he got the job done, but if even one of the Five had noticed him... Something had to be done.

And doing something had been the center of Max's thoughts as of late, making him even more of a shut-in then he usually was since the Titans and Jsa successfully stopped Hammond.
 

Can I Be More Than I Am? (Open to JSA) @ 07:31 pm

[info]atomic_legacy:

Jacob's actions, or inaction as he saw it, during the incident with the Titans still ate away at him. The old fears hadn't really faded, at least not in his mind. He still felt sick to his stomach at the idea of fighting, particularly with metahumans involved.  Still, even with potentially the world at stake, what had he done? He quietly moved into the JSA's training room and eyed the equipment present. It wasn't as if he never tried to learn what it meant to be a superhero..but there was a difference between learning physical skills and learning a whole other mindset. He sat on a workout bench, wondering just what it was he was willing to do.

Carolyn sat at a table at a small outside cafe in Metropolis. Iota gave her a slip of paper with the cafe's address and a time on it and told her to be there. Had it been anyone else, Carolyn would have been suspicious, but she trusted Iota. Maybe Iota had a lead on a job. It wasn't out of the realm of possibility.

Carolyn ordered a cup of espresso and waited.

Iota had long ago learned to bake sonhos because Mae loved them, but since Mae wasn't here, she needed help eating them. So she cheerily brought them to her cousin. Well, mostly cheerily. "Carolyn! Would you like some sonhos? And have you seen Tomas?"

(no subject) @ 09:19 pm

[info]young_swimmer:

Tom Curry's lighthouse cottage on Amnesty Bay offered peace, quiet and tranquility and it was the perfect place for Cait and Ty to retreat to after the events with Hammond. The Maine summer was mild and the small town a mile or two away didn't attract tourists. Cait had always found comfort in this place and she hoped Ty did as well. He needed the peace and quiet to recuperate from the trauma of what had happened.

Cait gave Ty space. She had even severed the link they shared since they were physically near each other. She was hesitant to reestablish it. Hammond had used it to take over Ty and she didn't want to be the cause of that happening again.

Cait spent her days down at the beach and had spent most of her nights down there as well. She surfed, swam and soaked up the sun on the warm sand. Mostly she just waited for Ty to want to talk about what happened.
 

Date meme (Layla) @ 08:25 pm

[info]green_lantern:

The JSA/JLI and JLA cookout was going well. Everyone was having a great time except for Dex. Quite frankly he was bored. Hanging out and talking was not his thing. He had eaten, but now he wanted a drink and soda and water wasn't going to cut it. He wanted beer and it was time to get out of here and get some beer.

It was a pretty normal Sunday in Chicago, home of the New Guardians.  Fortunately, for the novice super-heroes and possibly future guardians of humanity and the emotional spectrum, it had been a fairly quiet period for them, giving them time to live their lives, do a little heroing here and there, and otherwise do what they could.

A lazy Sunday, the perfect time for a baseball game on the television.   Cubs vs. the Star City Rockets.  Current score, Cubs 2, Rockets 1.  Bottom of the fifth, two men on, two strikes, a long single and...

"SAFE?!  How is that  safe?!  That ball was there way ahead of him!"

Founders Day Parade and Celebration @ 09:53 pm

[info]dc_misc:

The Founders Day Parade and Celebration was one of the biggest celebrations in Gotham. It was a day where the citizens of Gotham came out and showed their pride in their city. The festivities started in the morning at City Hall with a speech from the mayor and continued throughout the day. The largest parade of the year was held in the afternoon and fireworks lit up the sky in the evening. Merchants and restuarants set up kiosks on the sidewalks and the citizens shopped and ate as they watched the day's activities.

The day would also celebrate the victory of Anthony Sullivan in the mayoral race and it would be his first speech as mayor. The speech he gave was short, but had the citizens cheering by the end. The sun climbed into the sky and the parade started. Floats, marching bands and various other groups marched in the parade as it made its way through the streets of Gotham.

 Well at least they weren't always locked into some stupid mission. How he hated this Suicide Squad stuff, even worse knowing that he couldn't get out of it as long as they had Terry. But they let him go back to Boston occasionally to deal with his business, which was still struggling but still alive. He was outside at the moment, walking down the streets in a slightly better mood than usual. Anything that got him out of the government's grips made him feel better.

Speedforce Productions, Scene 1, Take 1 @ 06:33 pm

[info]madeofgoesfast:

Steven has been counting the days. The paperwork is filed, listing himself as the primary owner of Speedforce Productions, Ltd., with Annie, Jai, Iris, Tess and Cindy as partners. They have the space rented for each of the shoots - this one on a private beach. Everyone among the superheroine crowd that was willing to sign an NDA was invited with an RSVP request so they knew how many swimsuits to design.

Pippi has her own space to handle hair, wardrobe and makeup for the models, with Harry along to help coordinate getting everyone in to see her as adjustments were needed. Jai has the task of helping with setup, extra cameras, following Jo Kent around to shoot interviews while Steven handles the main coordination, and whatever else needs gophering. Jo is their reporter, there to conduct interviews with the models about their neighborhoods, causes important to them, and whatever else they want to discuss to help introduce themselves to the greater universe who often doesn't get to interact with super heroes.

Aside from the main area of beach, there,s a large bin full of beach balls. Tons and tons of beach balls, all of them two or three-colored in the colors of the various super heroines who confirmed they'd be here.

"Alright, when people are ready... I know we had one organizational meeting. But I thought I'd use this opportunity to thank everyone for coming. We're going to do the biggest and most complicated shoot first, and start working out details of the others. We have tentative volunteers, but some of the schedules are still open, and we're very open to shooting in pairs.

Other than the shoot here, consider this a day on the beach, courtesy of Speedforce Productions. After the shoot, we'll bring down food and drinks... there's plenty of water over by Pippi's station in the meanwhile."
 

Special Guest Appearance @ 07:58 pm

[info]crossbow_bat:

Maria did miss her stripping job. It was fun and the money was nice. Not that she needed the money, but it was a job where she could have fun and not have to worry about getting her ass kicked or have Bruce looming over her. So when the opportunity came up she eagerly accepted the offer to do a guest appearance. Candy Starr would dance at the Diamond Club once more.

Her music started and she took a deep breath and went out on stage. She was dressed as a cowgirl. Green leather vest, green leather chaps, white boots, white hat and a green mask on her face. Two silver six shooters were in holsters at her waist.

A record number of organized crime members have been arrested and are awaiting trial.

Here comes Mayor Stallworth now along with District Attorney."

"My fellow Gothamites," Stallworth said before a shot broke the silence. The bullet slammed into the middle of Stallworth's forehead and the mayor fell backward. He fell to the ground and all around people screamed.

Amnesty Bay wasn't big in terms of a bay, it would be more like a cove, but it had been home for a few years. Cait lived her with her grandfather for a bit and the place was like a touchstone.

She finally got a free night and it was time to pick on a favorite target. She called Jon and told him to meet her at her favorite karaoke bar and to bring his little sister and Alina if he were inclined.

She thought about dragging Thomas, but decided to give him a break. She could use the good karma later.

Maria loved going undercover and was having a great time. If Sullivan was dirty, the dirt was well hidden and it would take time and effort to find it. Maria didn't mind. She enjoyed being blonde and flirty with the guys in Sullivan's office as she posed as an office assistant.

Now it was her lunch break and she was meeting Thomas for lunch to compare notes and share any discoveries. She grabbed a table at a small cafe and waited for Thomas to arrive. While she waited she checked out the local 'scenery'. It was quite a nice sight.

Due (Matrimonial) Diligence @ 01:36 am

[info]boosted_gold:

So... getting married. It was a thing now. A thing that was actually going to happen, not at some nebulous far off point in the future, but within the year. Riley and Dinah didn't want some big drawn out engagement. There'd been vague discussions of dresses and guests lists and venues, but Riley was really on the fringe of all that. Oddly enough, Uncle Ted and Dad had taken over most of the planning, with various interventions by Aunt Sue.

Riley and Dinah, for their part, knew that pre-marital counseling was a sound idea, so they'd checked with Ruth about the idea and set up a schedule. Riley was meeting with her first, before Dinah's session, and then both of them.

So he's waiting in his usual room at the Tower, a few healthy snacks and drinks on hand out of gratitude to Ruth, along with a small gift-wrapped box as a thank-you present.

Between work during the day and Bruce thinking she needed to be more active at Wayne Enterprises and extra long patrols at night, her social life had been killed. Her last night out had been dinner with Tomas and Thomas and that was awhile ago.

Huntress was currently perched on the corner of a rooftop and watching the city from above.

Dinadan jumps a bit in as his father claps a hand on his shoulder.

"Everything's set up, kiddo," Ray says. "I'll be in the next room if the pair of you get in trouble or decide you want adult supervision."

"Thanks Dad," Dinadan says. "Anything goes wrong, we'll shout. But I'm pretty sure I can handle it."

Ray glances at the veritable nest his son has built of notes on the shrinking technology.

"I'm sure you can," he answers, shaking his head. "What do you think, pizza for dinner?"

"Sounds good. I'll ask Petra what she wants when she gets here, I don't want to call her in cast she's en route."

Today's the last phase of making sure that Petra can safely use the shrinking technology inherent in the Atom belt: actually testing it out. That part should be easy enough, it ought to go well, and then they can work on some of the basic things you need to know while being six inches tall.

Though Dinadan's already swept the room for rats. Nobody enjoys fighting a giant rat the first time they shrink.

The wipeout wasn't one of her best, but it was one of the worst. The bike went into a slide and ended up being stopped by a wall. Maria of course was still under it. One side of her body was cut up and bruised, even her costume couldn't absorb or prevent all the injuries, and her right arm was so beat up she couldn't move it much. It wasn't broken, but it felt like it had been.

The doctor ordered rest for a few days and Bruce was happy to enforce those orders. So Maria was camped out on the large couch and going through the movie collection.

A few months after that Young Justice had set themselves up in Justice Mountain with regular training exercises to better prepare them for the challenges of being heroes.

Their latest exercise had been set up by Cerdian who had hidden several treasure chests in the waters of Rhode Island Sound nearby Happy Harbor to give them some more experience dealing with underwater environments. Cerdian had given them coordinates for the chests and nothing more the rest was up to them. He was on hand to help out if anything went wrong but otherwise was going to leave this to them to figure out and deal with.

Missing You @ 09:26 pm

[info]khym_jonzz:

(backdated to Mother's Day)

As a Martian, K'hym did not not fully understand the holidays of Earth, though she had spent both Thanksgiving and Christmas with the extended family her father had built up upon Earth.  But she was intrigued by the concept of "Mother's Day."  And greatly saddened by the fact that her mother was no longer with them.

There was a teleporter tube on Mars, put their ages ago when her father had broken down his own mental blocks and recovered the fullness of his memories.  It was from the YJ headquarters that K'hym accessed this tube.

"Great H'ronmeer," she began, speaking in the words of her people.  She let her body change and flow, assuming her private Martian form for this, most intimate moment.  "This lost daughter of Ma'aleca'andra returns to you."

She closed her eyes and reduced her density, sinking into the surface of the planet.  There, she solidified slightly, pulling in mass and matter from the planet itself.  "I merge myself with the dust of my world, and merge myself with the past, with my ancestors, and all those we have lost."

Slowly, she rose up out of the ground, transforming again to the shape she used around her human friends.  A tear rolled down her face, striking the dirt.

"I miss you, Mother.  The touch of your mind, the sound of your voice, the gentle wisdom and love you brought to every day.  Father takes good care of me, and I am happy to have him still.  He misses you deeply.  We both do.  But I have new friends, and I am continuing in the tradition of Father's heroism."

More tears fell on the ground.  "But I am still so alone.  M'gann and Father are the only ones of our people left.  The silence deafens me.  I... do not understand things the way my human friends do.  I do not know if I ever will."

She brought her head up.  "I miss you.  But this is a human day for celebrating mothers.  And I celebrate all the you were."

She turned and returned to the teleporter tube, heading back to Earth.

It was good to see that his fake id had held up to the cops though judging by how he wasn't under high security.

In a step up from nagging state legislatures, Uncle Jed was going to testify before a U.S. Senate committee. This had become a Walker family trip. Walker family trips now included the Torres family. As much as he loved Mom and Grandma, it was a relief to get a bit of breathing space again, with the perfectly reasonable explanation of dinner with a fellow makeup artist. He'd talked to Pippi one or two times since they'd met in passing. The last had been right after his breakup, and when he'd mentioned he'd be in town, she seemed game for dinner. So here they were, in a nice restaurant,as he smiled appreciatively at Zoe for coming along, in the outfit he'd suggested. "I hear the food here is great. And it'll be a while without Grandma asking us if we've met any nice guys."

There's a knock at the office of one Cynthia Lord, by an unassuming (besides the green hair) young man, carrying two clothing boxes under his arms. "Miss Lord? I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm your two o'clock." Riley grins. "Two o'clock until two-ten anyway. Can I interest you in a little field trip while I roll out a business proposition of sorts for you?" He jostles the boxes with eagerness.
