@alsciion  ♥ for a starter !

gabby knew she should have listened to laura when she told her to keep johnatan in her room but she couldn’t do that to her friend, now she was paying for that mistake as she ran through the halls of the school after her pet wolverine many people have yelled at his sight which were only met with a roll of her eyes, like he was the most strange thing around. when she finally caught up to him she dived to grab him in a hug almost slamming into someone in the process. sitting at the floor with a long sigh escaping her, her eyes slowly going up to meet  to who the pair of legs belonged to “hey.” she said with a sheepish smile her arms still holding tight to the animal “sorry for your troubles, he’s being a pain after being in a small room for a while day.”

          he hears the commotion before he sees it. wishfully thinking he could remain ignorant in regards to what or who was tearing through the halls. eyes roll upwards as he lets out a long exhale, whatever it was, it was arriving fast ------ and it was a flurry of motions. he stumbles back two steps as he catches sight first of the dashing creature, and then it is gone, buried under the girl. the girl who is now glancing up at him and he is at a lose for words. he tilts his head in hopes of getting a better view of her . . .  pet? ( not that he would ever be in a position to judge ). “ . . . hi. “ he’s hesitant for obvious reasons, but the smile she offers is a small relief. ‘ he ‘ so it was a he. he’s undeniably curious and just a smidge excited. he clears his throat and shakes it off, “ what is . . . he? “ perhaps more important was why he was locked away - was it safety? whose? a fear of him escaping?

Things I’ve Said to my Puppy: A Starter Collection

“Man you’re awkward. I mean, ridiculously beautiful but damn, grow into yourself.”

“What the ever-loving heckin’ heck are you eating now?”

“Excuse me sir, you can’t read.”

“You really have that ‘I don’t know how I fit into the world’ vibe about you.”

“That’s not polite.”

“You don’t even rise until you’re addressed. I’m digging your obedience.”

“Sit like a gentleman.”

“That’s not yours, friend.”

“That’s right. Listen to me and pretend to have an idea of what I’m talking about. I get that a lot.”

“I didn’t pay all this money for you not to be a cuddler.”

“Wanna go for a ride?”

“Show me your cop face.”

“I’m not a fan of you licking my teeth. Please don’t.”

“Okay; we’re done here.”

“Oh no, the postman! How ever will we survive now?!”

“You’re gonna be rude? Okay, you’ve lost the pleasure of my presence.”

“The piano isn’t evil, it’s just unpleasant to hear when I’m touching it.”

“Hey neighborhood watch, what’s going on with the town today?”

“We really don’t need to—oh we’re peeing in the garden now, that’s a thing.”

“I draw the line at shredding things.”

“What the heck is going on with your teeth?”

“No, you’re not helping.”

“We’ve all pooped. It’s your turn.”

“I’m not saying I don’t believe you, I’m just saying I don’t see anything.”

“I know you’re a blanket snatcher but you can’t snatch this blanket.”

“Oh, you want to help?”

“Leave him alone, he’s just trying to take a walk.”

“Right, right, defend your castle.”

“I wish I looked that beautiful having no idea what’s going on.”

“How do you get one?”

“This is not what I asked for.”

HAYES.

it took a bit for greta to talk ; she hardly ever sees this robin. out of all of them, he remained the biggest mystery to her outside of probably being the most aloof out of all of them. ( also the robin that she hasn’t seen smile yet, but that could also be easily attributed to them not crossing paths a lot ) she shook her head, feeling a bit bummed about the bag of flour that was now spilling the powder on the floor. “just..i should’ve not left that there. i regret it now.” she said sullenly, floating over immediately to the mess and began to cup guide the flour back to the bag as she made her hands become more tangible. “sorry for the mess. i - you can just take what you came here for, just..sorry.” she babbled, shaking her head at her own awkwardness. 

          there was plenty of anomalies tucked away inside of xavier’s mansion, more so when a handful of them were plucked and dropped back to the past. it’s why he can’t help but notice the shift in her form and the way she carries herself across the floor - ghostly. was he staring? his gaze shifts appropriately to what the bag had now spit out onto the floor. an apology seemingly follows every word that spills from her which earns her a quirked brow. “ you shouldn’t have “ he agrees with her, but his tone is neither harsh nor scolding, and instead of making for the fridge he passes it in favor for the sink. “ is there another bag around? “ he inquires as he grabs a rag and proceeds to dampen it under the running faucet. once satisfied, he wrings out the excess water from it and extends it to the girl. he realizes as an afterthought that there was the potential she did not need to wipe her hands of the powder - he didn’t have much clue as to how a phantom would work. “ hindsight is twenty twenty. next time you’ll know to put it further from the edge,” a pause for thought, “ no need to apologize. “

RAVEN. 

a closed starter for @alsciion from here. RE: “just forget it.” 

Frustration settles in the pit of her stomach as the two try to reach a common ground. She’s aware that she has a tendency to keep to herself - so much so that simple tasks are made ten times more difficult by her reluctancy to open up, even to the people she trusted with her life. It isn’t until she hears the defeat in his tone that Raven is reconsidering her words. “Damian, wait,” there is a shake of her head to follow. “What were you saying?” 

          he has to hold back his huff, never one to be fond of a slight rebuff. he’d, of course, made great strides in regards to temperament and patience - but raven was no dick grayson, and that left being open almost impossible. he’s turning around wearing a hesitant frown, and his hand lifts up to pick idly at a strand of hair. it isn’t too late to take his leave - but perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to try again. “ i was going to say i understand the difficulties of residing in this current time --- and given that you are a friend of richard’s and neither one of us is known for being the most social --- i would be willing to offer my assistance should you need it. “ he shifts his weight from foot to foot, still slightly dejected, “ however, i could reconsider. “

            it’s a mess. plain and simple. he’d dissected last week’s newspaper, torn out the pages he hadn’t needed and left them scattered on the floor around him. he sat in the middle with a few scrunched up pieces he had deemed important and had begun the process of underlining and circling. he’d, of course, summoned the older vigilante in order to have someone to bounce his ideas off. “ with more people arriving the longer we stay... “ there’s a pause to collect an article already heavily scribbled upon, “ we’re bound to run out of space sooner than later. “ it’s wishful thinking. who was fond of sharing residence with some of humanity’s worst? “ therefore, i’ve taken it upon myself to look into realtors and reasonable real estate in the area. “ cue a wave at the paper collection he called ‘work’. “ obviously, i’m too young to be looking for housing on my own - which is where you come in. “ he tilts his head to the side and for a second looks thoughtfully at the other, “ i give you permission to bring barbara. practice for the future. “

❛ so there are no innocents. there are heroes, and there are criminals. ❜ from rose

❝⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤ BIOSHOCK PROMPTS !  ( ᵃᶜᶜᵉᵖᵗᶦⁿᵍ )

          All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing. the boy’s chin rested on the table, arms in front of him, hands resting on them ---- from here he can catch a glimpse of the outside. the temperature would be in the negatives eventually, and thus the birds would be leaving soon - if they hadn’t already. yet, here he was. stuck. grounded. and her? she’s talking. 

⏤⏤⏤⏤  ❝ I understand. it must be hard to see depth in the world with only one eye. ❞

            In his best interest, he should have given her more. explained why that way of thinking just would not do. black and white? that wasn’t how the world worked. all there should have been were innocents. instead? kids were weaponized, students hunted, and after all of it a life time of misery awaited. how one could long for a world where heroes never had to exist. a hero needed a villain. good brought upon evil. sometimes good won - but evil? evil was everlasting. 

           If he’d had any sense he’d have left with the birds.

          A pen is twirled carefully between his fingers, a dance from digit to digit. a thoughtful look is sent towards the workbook in his hand ---- things were feeling a little old fashioned now. on to more important matters, it wasn’t as if he was shadowing anyone. perhaps more often than not he’d place himself in the same room as the blue vigilante, but it was simply for observation. despite the mansion’s grand interior (and exterior), it wasn’t hard to pick up on faces, and while he did not always know them well, he did know of them. that may have been how he found himself finally approaching, the pen finally coming to a fault, “ beetle. “ it’s short, hardly sweet, the greeting’s sole purpose is to catch the attention of the other.

Went into dark humor territory, haha. I made this in honor of a classmate giving me some Damian Wayne related comics to read over the Winter.

Also I hear Damian’s back! Awesome!

HAYES.

( *custom starter _ @alsciion )

the world (and time) she was in was a big one. it still is, in 1973, but they all lived in close quarters and one would always have the possibility of seeing a person they didn’t necessarily walk up to and chat with on a regular basis. greta knew that after the time she’s had in the mansion, floating around, trying not to spook anyone. that day she just decided to make use of the supplies that have been given to the mansion residents and made some cookies. the girl had been sitting around to wait for them to get done, flipping through a recipe book she spotted. a noise alerted her to what she assumed was the bag of flour she had left on the counter. “o-oh no-!”

          the boy moves with purpose, he can’t afford to tread in any other way. he’s not one to lounge about, or to humor the populace of the mansion with his presence. however, despite his best efforts to make himself scarce, there were at times things that would ultimately be out of his hands. venturing to the kitchen is a rarity, not one to cook, his visits are normally only to collect a snack or two. that was his current goal ---- an apple wouldn’t be horrible ----  he should have anticipated that it would not be barren. he stops at the threshold, his head tilts ever so quizzically as he cocks a brow at her exclamation, “ oh “. had he startled her? he’s not so sure how to respond. there’s a lengthy pause before his inquiry, “ am i disturbing something? “
