was your character “blipped” out? if so, what did they return to and how is it affecting them? if not, who important to them was blipped out, and what has it felt like after those five years have passed? if your character is a dc muse: what were they doing when they passed through the portal?
on patrol. full batgirl get up, throwing a batarang and she dived off a rooftop thinking she was going to land on manbat and? then there’s a portal and shield agents pointing guns to her face.
where are they living? are they living with anyone?
in the shield complex. it’s a small room with a pile of natural sunlight. she’s done a decent job of painting the walls and making it feel like home (but really, without having cass to live with, it doesn’t feel like home).
why is your character affiliated with who they’re affiliated with?
not much of a choice? falling head first through a portal and instantly having guns pointed at you does make you affiliate with them. but honestly, she does like shield and their all you can eat breakfast bars. she wants to do good in this world, even if she has to do it under the watchful eye of shield.
who are their major friends, allies, and foes?
batfam!! and generally anyone else in the justice league, especially oliver queen (mostly to annoy bruce). she’d say shield (& sword) are on her good side but she’s not trusting them completely. gotta keep them on their toes. her enemies here are generally the ones who have come through the portal, she’s not got enough beef with the villains of this universe yet.
whose hands do they believe the country should be in?
anyone BUT lex luthor.
what’s their current mental state at? their physical state?
tbh? shes great. while theres probably a little discourse between her & bruce around her joining shield, steph’s honestly great.
she’s immediately drawn to the other’s energy , wide smile growing across rouge painted lips and harley quinn ? harley quinn was damn near ready to ADOPT stephanie brown on the spot . sorry batman , but stephanie brown is hers now ! and she and pammy will raise her in a loving , weirdly balanced lil’ family .“ okay but like …FUCK KITEMAN , for real . how can someone be so idiotic that they didn’t realize that their fiancé maybe didn’t want to be their fiancé ? like ,WHAT THE FUCK steph !? it baffles me , truly . it’s just -M E N . yanno ? and you know what ? you deserve to go drinking with your classmates and to walk through new york city absolutely wasted off your ass . if you don’t have regrets, you didn’t do the night out justice . ” and the girl’s words are like MUSIC to harley’s ears , she loves every single thing coming out .“ i think even PAMMY will be all in , actually . she’d love to get into his and GRIND HIM ALL UP to the pulp ‘cause he doesn’t deserve shit . and then we could head over to the amazon’s for mani pedis ! they decided to keep the spa for special guests - and since we helped save them - we’re special guests !guest’s guests included . ” because she’s harley FUCKING quinn and she gets whatever the fuck she wants .“ clobbering with harls and steph , bonus tacos and margs afterwards ! it just seems like a WIN-WIN , s ! ”
bruce leaves her alone in a different reality for all of ten minutes and she’s already switched sides. new alliance time! we’re evil but fun now. “thank you! no one else seems to get it. what a loser. i’m sooooo glad that pam got out of that— she’s way too cool for him. & ugh, tell me about it. i swear all the men in gotham are f-r-e-a-k-s. frankly, all the men here are weird too. no normal. worst part of being here is i just started talking to this cute girl in hinge & i don’t think she exists in this reality.” she blows an irritated raspberry, a childish pout. over this ‘did batman adopt you’ era, it’s time for the harley quinn & pamela isley! anti-villain... eco-terrorist persona rise! “you know what? i’m in. again: not super pro-murder but i think we can make an exception. he deserves to be squished into the carpet like a stain. & mani-pedis? now you’re speaking my language. plus: in the amazon? if you’re in need of a child to adopt, i’m available & interested.” bruce’s reach is pretty far but it sure as hell isn’t going to mani-pedis in the amazon. which is like, insanely cool. “we should get matching baseball bats! gotta look cute while we committing some mild murder.”
“i never said you were my favorite,” they mumble out, point utterly moot. attempting to argue with stephanie never seem to do any wonder when it was like yelling at a brick wall. besides maybe damian was just slightly fond of her. that hardly needed to be anyone else’s business but their own. mulling the options over, biting down lightly on their bottom lip, damian could admit that they did rather enjoy video games, especially ones at the arcade. cheese viking still remained a favorite even to this day. “i suppose we could attempt the arcade merely to surpass you at every opportunity. i also wouldn’t turn down ice cream afterwards.”
“are you trying to say you prefer cass over me? when did cass last take you for ice cream? when did babs take you paintballing? never. i’m clearly your favourite.” she’s fairly confident that she’s the favourite. 9/10 chance she is. cass & babs are great (seriously: especially babs, steph will never stop being grateful for all babs has done) but we all know the superior batgirl is a former robin, fake blonde, & formerly dead. but it’s almost like she didn’t hear damian, still humming to her own tune & whirling with ideas. “surpass me? oh you better get your gamer hands ready. i am the queen of mortal combat. i’m going to wipe the floor with you, dames. you’ll never recover from the shame of being absolutely creamed in a shitty arcade game.” her tone is a terrible faux serious voice, a mock at being mean before instantly bursting back into her usual joyful tone, “and then we can get ice cream! ooh, and maybe even those literal waffle cones!”
He’s slung off his apron, joined her at a table at the end of his shift. The work’s not their favorite, and the pay’s not great, but the free coffee and pastries? Priceless. Seeing a familiar face in this weird new world helped, too. “I… uh. Was walking Krypto, and he saw a pigeon on the other side? Don’t know if that’s better or worse.” Jon shrugs and peels the top off of his muffin. “Okay, you’re right. I thought it was just me. Pizza here? Great. Everything else? Wrong. Just terrible. What happened to ramen, Steph? Why’s it so fancy?”
it’s nice— finally having someone to gossip with. new york did not have enough people who were interested in talking trash. “i’ll be honest... that is a little embarrassing but i think it’s outweighed by the fact it means krypto is here. i miss ace so much. whenever you’re off work, can we pleeease take krypto out?” her words are followed with a dramatic pout, wide eyed & absolutely dramatic in her tone. “oh my gosh, right! i swear the pizza here is the only edible thing. i mean, don’t get me wrong— i’m going to eat it anyways. food is food and i ain’t rolling it in but like... how do you mess up ramen? it’s insane. i got a kebab the other day right? it was so posh. no one gets a kebab to feel fancy. you’re buying them when you’re drunk & hungry. apart from the food crisis— are you like, doing well? damian’s here y’know...”
❝ 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓 a mint ! ❞ boy points down at the roomba , hadn’t even let the other finish her statement before butting in . ❝ oh , tiktok , riiiight . i did know that , i just . . . forgot . ❞ conner and stephanie’s relationship is well , complicated . he hadn’t exactly taken a liking to her — more annoyed that girl had ran around in his friend’s secret identity than anything . though , he was glad to see her , whatever tension they used to have completely erased from the board . ❝ no , i love it . that is the sickest thing i’ve ever seen in my life , steph . ❞
so maybe the kent family are a little high energy. who is she to judge? as if steph doesn’t spend 80% of her time drinking sugar filled slushies. “totally, no i absolutely believe you knew that. definitely. without a doubt.” it’s said with a deadpan expression, her tone almost cracking from serious into laughter. maybe it’s a tiny bit mean. not like she remembers everything (enter three months ago: her and tim on the roof of the wrong bank). besides, if your half lex luthor goo... probably a valid excuse to not remember things. “awww! thank you. the big b was less then pleased. something about destruction of property? as if he doesn’t have enough to buy a roomba army. roomba army... i think i’ve just discovered by next plan. you wouldn’t happen to be interested in strapping knives on a hoard of roombas would you?”
“i know how to have fun.” they, in fact, still did not know how to have fun. generally whenever it happened, damian would often be pulled into it by jon or family members looking to get them more out of their shell. it had taken a few years for them to fully adjust, but eventually damian had slowly began to grow more sociable and socially aware. fun, however, was a whole other thing. “–we could spar?? that’s always considerably fun.”
@batgirliing
her jaw almost drops. ah yes, fun! getting the shit kicked out of her by the superior robin. someone seriously needs to teach them how to have fun. enter stephanie brown: professional fun-haver! (because jon, you are lacking at the ‘teach damian how to have fun’ department) her fingers rub to her temples & an overly dramatic sigh that quickly turns into a laugh. “i mean... i suppose we could. if you think punching your favourite batgirl in the face is fun. how about roller-skating? or maybe go to an arcade? i bet you would kill at pac-man or those stupid claw machines that no one can win.”
“oh, this isn’t mine.” the man quips, pretending to give the strange sculpture ( it looked handmade, a bit juvenile ) to a kid nearby before he took it back. “i lied, it’s mine. i just .. “ he glanced at the kid, “sorry little dude, my bad. don’t be a liar!” and turned back to steph. “i was proud of it after making it, but now .. not so much. it’s like a little recycling project.” ( @batgirliing )
she feels a little bad for laughing. it’s attempted to be muffled into her hand, cheeks turning pink & bursting into a grin. judgement free zone. “it’s funky! i like it. i mean, i’m not sure what it is... but i dig it. be proud of your... horse... reindeer... chicken?” her head tilts, curious & peering towards it, looking with dark eyes. “are those... red solo cups? i haven’t seen those in years! you, uh play beer pong or are they simply for artistic purpose?”
“ you’re so hanging out with the wrong rogues , baybee ! first of all : THEY’RE MEN . gross . don’t you eva give ‘em more attention than needed . and for the record ? the legion of doom ? all a buncha LOSERS . i give ya’ heroes full permission to take them down . do you know how hard i worked to get in and then they DIDN’T let me in unless pammy came ? talk about sexist . ” harley huffs , pigtails bouncing in annoyance as she glances at the other . NOW harley’s in it . alexa , play now i’m in it by haim ! “ awh , this place isn’t so bad . at least i don’t have to live in an abandoned mall anymore . and nobody knows who we are . fuck the bats . he fucks bats , anyways . doesn’t know a good dame like us when he sees one ! want me to beat up the stray for you ? i’ve been dying to try this NEW BAT i found last night . ” stole . she stole it . harley quinn stole the bat . “ or the frightful four ? what the FUCK is goin’ on here !? ”
“ugh! you’re right. the only decent rogues are always the ladies— and ed, i suppose. i think i’m like, morally obligated to say that since he’s my godfather & all. no one else respects that i have a personal life! like i know kite-man doesn’t have friends but i do! i want to go drinking with my classmates and have fun!” her rant said with a joking tone, dissolving into laughter & a fit of giggles even if it stands true. flashback to tim-era and them both constantly ditching dates to get their asses kicked. “hmm... all i’m saying is we take a girls trip— you, me & pam. we hire a semi-truck, drive to metropolis & hit him with it. i know bats got his no killing rule and i do like to follow it but c’mon! i think it will be fun. we could call it a bachelorette party! oooh this could be so cool, harles!” at the words found her eyes roll, overly dramatic & pointed with a pout. harley quinn has never paid for a thing in her life & steph knows it. “listen if you want to go clobbering, i’m in. sinister six, meet the dynamic duo of harley quinn & steph brown! serpent society? we’re coming for you!”
( @supcrson, * ) “sooooooo— i hope you don’t mind me asking but how did you end up here? i mean personally, i jumped off a building and landed on my ass after coming through the portal and i’m hoping to find someone who has a less embarrassing portal story then me.” she says it in between the long slurp of a coffee, picking apart at a danish. “the food here sucks by the way. even the fast food is somehow worse.”
❝ 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 ? ❞ boy picks himself up from his seat before eyeballing the object in front of him , ❝ is this what those tictak videos were talking about ? ❞
“listen— i’m a stan, i really am & i don’t want to be mean but... that’s a mint. the app is called tiktok.” maybe she’ll invest in supergirl merch... things aren’t looking up for her choice of super’s being cool. but she presents the object either way: an utterly glitterfied rooma. “either way, you’re technically right. i call her the bimbo vac & she went viral a few weeks ago. do you like it? she cleans the floor and the vibes!”
“How now, Miss Brown? Not a big fan of Caesar?” Edward said, focusing his attention on Steph. Despite him taking mild offense that he was demoted from being Batman’s greatest adversary to babysitting one of his kids, but at least she didn’t attack on sight like some sort of feral animal. Of all the batchildren to get assigned, it was better than most of his other options. At least she could hold a conversation. “My friends? They wouldn’t even hesitate to stab me. Oswald has tried a few times, but I don’t think he has the height to reach my back if he tried.” Edward said bitterly. “They’re more co-workers than anything. A collection of fools following my brilliant mind towards the same goal. To be completely fair, I have turned on them as much. Not much honor among thieves anymore.”
“As humorous as your answer is, we both know it isn’t right. And I know you’re smart enough to figure it out.” Edward said, trying to glare through his green-tinted lenses. “I wouldn’t bother trying to quiz the mindless droves of people that populate the Earth, mostly consisting of the other people at this party.” Edward looked around the other people at the party, who were mostly in various stages of intoxication. Lovely. As if they needed help in lowering their intelligence any more. “Speaking of which, is he here? Or has our dear Mr. Wayne not joined us yet?”
“what can i say? i’m not a fan of weird ass dictators! there’s a reason i have beef lex luthor. you know what i just realized? my twitter feud with him means nothing here. bit depressing.” flipping sides didn’t stop her getting the chance to irritate him. unfortunately, you can’t escape family! & hell if steph is giving up both the best & easiest nemesis. dick can enjoy getting torture by slade, she’s getting coffee in the afternoons to catch up with her rogue. (speaking of rogues... is anyone going to tell her parents she’s gone? suppose it’s probably a fun mystery for cluemaster to solve!) she raises her eyebrows for a moment at the mention of oswald before taking it in stride. suppose marriage probably does have some casual stabbing if you’re both career criminals. “yeah. you & oz.. co-workers. sure shit. not shocked about the stabbing however. a light stabbing is a handshake in the narrows. i suppose you’re not all in one big group chat sending memes then. tim totally owes me a twenty then.”
“okay but consider: it’s waaaay funnier to give wrong answers. fine. it’s a date. hit me with your next shot. — you know what? i can’t disagree. everyone here is... a little dull. i know i’ve made my fair share of insults towards your... suits. and gotten some equal ones back but! at least we’re putting the effort in. half the assholes here are just running around in black jeans and a hoodie they brought from walmart.” her former robin suit has more colour then all the criminals here combined. dearest apologizes to gotham & its villains: you were actually pretty great. everyone here is overt, in boring costumes and telling the world who they are. (iron man seriously gave the world his address? brucie-boy would never!) “our dear mr. wayne probably has better things to do then fall ass first through a portal. i’d assume. i don’t actually know, i’m not his keeper. he probably hasn’t even realized i’m gone. bit self involved! i haven’t seen the big b-man persona anywhere either and i’d assume a man in a giant bat costume jumping off buildings might make the news.”
“ you’re so hanging out with the wrong rogues , baybee ! first of all : THEY’RE MEN . gross . don’t you eva give ‘em more attention than needed . and for the record ? the legion of doom ? all a buncha LOSERS . i give ya’ heroes full permission to take them down . do you know how hard i worked to get in and then they DIDN’T let me in unless pammy came ? talk about sexist . ” harley huffs , pigtails bouncing in annoyance as she glances at the other . NOW harley’s in it . alexa , play now i’m in it by haim ! “ awh , this place isn’t so bad . at least i don’t have to live in an abandoned mall anymore . and nobody knows who we are . fuck the bats . he fucks bats , anyways . doesn’t know a good dame like us when he sees one ! want me to beat up the stray for you ? i’ve been dying to try this NEW BAT i found last night . ” stole . she stole it . harley quinn stole the bat . “ or the frightful four ? what the FUCK is goin’ on here !? ”
“ugh. i hate that you’re right. the only one who respects that i have a life outside fighting crime is ed and i think he’s like, obligated to do that. like sorry kite-man! i know you don’t have a social life but i do!” her nose scrunches at the mention of the league, followed with a sharp eye-roll, “i won’t pretend i’m not like, superboy stan number one but are they ever going to do something about luthor? his twitter feed is my personal nightmare. you know what? girls night. you, me & pam. we hire a semi-truck, drive to metropolis and hit him with it. thoughts? feelings? i’m open to ideas.” maybe bruce doesn’t need to know she’s hanging out & planning some light murder with ‘the enemy’ but: tbh, harley is waaay too fun to be considered the enemy. “i mean an abandoned mall is pretty cool. much cooler then some other lairs i’ve raided. & NOBODY MIGHT KNOW WHO YOU ARE but i got guns pointed at me and scanned with some weird thing. zero out of ten, would not recommend by the way! ... harles. you could just say you stole the bat. you’ve never paid for anything in your life. not my reality, not my problem!” well... her criminals, probably her problem. her problem for later. “i am so glad you understand. they have a group called the sinister six. like what the fuck right? sinister? frightful? are we twelve years old and naming our sport teams?”
