     “It’s an absolutely” he assured her with a wide grin, leaning in to press a quick and gentle kiss to her forehead before he untangled himself from her small frame and offered her his hand instead. “Care to lead the way?” he asked, gently teasing. He knew exactly where they were headed, after all. To the one place in this sorry camp that had ever managed to bring Jasper any peace. There was something about the gentle crashing of the waves as they hit the sand and the otherwise absence of sound that soothed something in his bones. Too much quiet allowed his mind to wander to darker thoughts, however, and so it was really just a game of balance. “So this boy that you like, tell me. Is he charming? devilishly good looking? Utterly dreamy?” he grinned even wider, a light of playful mischief in his ocean eyes as he fell into step beside her. 

Wynn wanted to run. But where would they even go outside the camp and even if they could she knew deep down Jasper would stay and fight, she wasn’t so sure she would be as brave as he was. Wynn took his hand squeezing it lightly. If their world was going to end then time was important, he was important. She didn’t want any regrets. “Mmmmm, yes and so humble too.” she teased. With Jasper she could forget what she saw, forget the future and just be in the now, with him. He’d hear all about the assembly happening later, she just couldn’t bear to be there. “This is kind of my favourite spot now...I don’t know what to tell you - we might have to fight over it.”

     There had been an unintentional change in Jasper over the last few weeks. He was unable to pinpoint exactly when it had happened but at some point, he had stopped running. From his growing feelings for Wynn. From the expectations that sat heavy and merciless upon his shoulders. From himself. He had no idea what the future would bring but suddenly, with her by his side, Jasper found himself wanting to know. Something in his bones told him that everything would be okay so long as he followed her. And he would. Ocean blue eyes closed as she kissed him gently, drawing a lazy smile onto his lips that mirrored her own. “Is that so?” he whispered back, smirking softly. “I’m very good at keeping secrets, you know…But first…” He leaned in, pressing another kiss to her lips as he pulled her close. 

Wynn had never really initiated the physical contact, she knew he would have been surprised with the kiss and she mirrored his smirk with her own as he leaned in to press another kiss to her lips and pull her close. She let him, wrapping an arm around his neck slowly. She tried to push down her feelings of worry - war was on the horizon, except it had been much closer than that. The things she saw - she’d been asked to scout, a soft white cloud near undetectable in the sky. The things she saw made her skin crawl. She’d been sworn to secrecy until they could figure out a plan of action, up the training and plans, secure the weak points in the camp. The whole thing made Wynn feel dizzy, she was a lover not a fighter. “so is that a yes?”

     Warmth spread, following the trail marked by her finger as Jasper moved finally, his hands coming to rest at the small of her back, keeping her close. Inches away from him now, he found himself struggling to look away - not that he wanted to. Wynn was beautiful, that much was obvious, but there was something about getting the opportunity to admire her like this that fed his ego. Not that Jasper needed it. For whatever reason, he fascinated her, but he wasn’t about to challenge it after he had worked so hard to earn her trust. “The what now?” he grinned, mostly joking, although, it was rather hard to think with how fuzzy his head was beginning to feel. Up in the clouds. “You can tell me anything” he promised, whispering as he leaned in to press a kiss to her cheek. “Anything”

Wynn let a lazy smile spread across her lips once more as his hands found their way to the small of her back bringing her closer to him, keeping her against his chest. Jasper had been true to his word, she hadn’t heard anything about him hooking up with other girls much to the annoyance of the Aphrodite cabin. He’d been sweet and thoughtful and slowly but surely Wynn had been ready to let her guard down and risk her heart. She closed her eyes at the feeling of his lips pressed gently at her cheek, his words, his lips at her ear gave her shivers. She opened her mouth to tell him her secret but instead leaned forward and pressed her lips gently against his. “I know a really private spot on the beach, where a boy I know likes to draw.” she whispered. “if you can keep a secret - maybe we can go...”

     Ocean blue eyes watched as she moved over the distance between them, a breath Jasper hadn’t intended to hold leaving him in a rush. The physical contact had pulled him from the places his mind had began to wander as he tried to read her mind rather than just letting her tell him instead. Jasper wasn’t used to surrounding himself with others that were as transparent as Wynn. She wore her heart on her sleeve, something he would never understand. “Oh…right, of course” Jasper couldn’t help the small, amused smirk that replaced the concerned frown that he had worn previously, hanging onto her every word as he waited patiently (or as patiently as he could) to hear her out. “An assembly?” he quirked a brow, admittedly losing interest in the subject altogether as he heard her next words. “It’ll definitely take a lot of research…” he smirked suggestively, lips brushing against her finger as he spoke. “We should probably even start now so that we don’t lose anymore time, you know”

Wynn let out a low chuckle letting her finger drag down his lip, down his chin before trailing along his jawline. She looked up at him with her doe eyes. “so i can assume you’re on board with skipping the assembly....meeting....whatever it is....” she asked keeping contact. She couldn’t hear about this war anymore, didn’t want to know what the next stages were, what the next attack would be - who they might lose - she couldn’t bear to lose Jasper. He’d likely survive, he was powerful, he was strong and he could fight, but still she worried. Titling her head to the side Wynn smiled. “Can I tell you a secret?” she whispered bitting the bottom of her lip trying to get his full attention, she knew she had it - she liked being the only one he looked at.

“I’ve heard the rumors”

.

     Jasper loosened a sigh, physically deflating as he turned his head to gaze upon the blonde that had been taking over his every thought these past few weeks. Wolfgang would tell him that he was an idiot; that it was reckless to even think about anything so trivial when there was a literal war on the horizon and yet, Jasper struggled to focus on anything but her. He wondered sometimes if it was her powers that caused his heart to thrum so rapidly. Everything would certainly be a lot easier for him if that were true. “Which rumours?” he asked, regretting that there were so many he couldn’t be sure which she had overheard without more context. “I meant it, Wynn” It wasn’t much, but it was all that he knew how to give her; the implied promise that even if he wasn’t quite sure what this was between them, it was just her. 

A sly smile overtook her lips as she slinked her was towards him and into his arms flirtatiously. Immediately she knew what he thought she meant by the rumours. There were rumours that went around about him, about her, about the war - but that hadn’t been the topic she was leading with. Her tone had been a little more playful as she batted her eyelashes at him. The war had scared her and she had over heard a conversation she wasn’t so sure she was supposed to hear. Wynn wasn’t a fighter, all she really had were her manipulation skills and even then would that be enough? Would she even survive what was coming for them? Her perspective had changed if only to realize that they did not have forever. “I know you did - you didn’t let me finish - “ she chastised placing her manicured finger over his lips. “rumour I heard was that there’s an assembly happening...so everyone will be there....I also heard a rumour that you taste like salt water taffy. I think I need to conduct more first hand research.”

“Honestly its a disgusting twist of humour if you ask me. Hosting a charity for marine life when half of this crap gets thrown out and eventually chucked into the ocean.” Nerissa scoffed. These humans were ruining her home and they didn’t even care. She had half a mind to lure most of them out to the water tonight - maybe after a glass or two more of champagne she could right some wrongs.

“I’m not upset I just don’t want to keep being left behind just because i’m the youngest.” Haley complained. She had big shoes to fill and it seemed like her cousins, her half-siblings and even family friends were way ahead of her in their masked crusade. @dancingwithghcsts​

        His head moved in a timid nod to confirm the answer to her question. “Indefinitely.” With Kara watching over and protecting Metropolis, his constant presence was no longer needed. Settling down in the neighboring state seemed as good a plan as any with the possibility to provide back up if anything were to occur at home. At the mention of Bruce Wayne, Jon’s thought flicked momentarily to Damian. If he was unable to connect with Dory, at least there was the possibility of reconnecting with his childhood best friend. Despite the lingering darkness, there was light at the end of the tunnel shinning through, another reminder that hope was not so easy quashed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I was keeping you from anything.” Guilt crept in overshadowing the grief that had gripped him. It was selfish to keep her there with him, no matter how much he wished she wanted to stay. 

Irrationally part of Dory was upset. Indefinitely. He’d moved permanently back and left the legion now that they were broken up but not when she needed him here. Her bottom lip trembled and she felt the tears well up making her eyes glossy - stubbornly she held back - she couldn’t cry in front of him. “I’m sure Damian will be glad to have you in town. I know he missed you when you were gone...we both did.” she said her voice quiet at her admission. She missed him terribly. Her hands had itched to touch him the moment she had run into him, she just wanted to be back in his arms. “You’re not.” she said hastily trying to prolong being with him. “I’m not needed until later - my father and Bruce are simply catching up, going over a few things. I have time, unless you have to be somewhere.” she said giving him an out if he needed it.

        “People need Superman, not Jon Kent.” He replied matter-of-factly. There were far less people in the world that needed him as who he was rather than the symbol he represented. It had taken time and experience to finally learn the lesson his father had tried teaching him growing up as Superboy and it wasn’t until Dory had begun slipping through his fingers that he realized the difference; the importance of the people who actually knew Jon as he truly was. His eyes drifted back to the ring that encircled her finger. Marriage had always felt like a distant obstacle, a foreseeable problem that he had never allowed himself to linger on because he had hope that they could figure out a plan to work around it. Jon had always been filled to the brim with hope. Always, until now. He was shrouded in hopelessness, weighed down by the blanket that covered him in darkness. Wasn’t it supposed to be them? “I just signed the lease to an apartment here in Gotham. I’m planning on staying for a while.” 

“You’d be surprised.” she told him. She needed him. He was a great Hero and some day he’d be head of the justice league or something and she’d be so proud of him but not by his side.  It was weird to think about the future now that they weren’t together and it hurt even more to think of him with someone else. She would be married, to someone else. Finn was a good man, he was there for her and she loved him but not like she loved Jon. No one could ever come close to being Jon or replacing the love she had for him - he’d always have a piece of her heart whether he knew it or not. “In Gotham?” the words left her lips before she had a chance to even digest the words. He was staying here. “that’s great - they need all the help they can get there. How long are you staying for? I’m in town for a diplomatic meeting. My father’s meeting with Bruce Wayne now actually.”

        The tendrils of hope that had grasped his heart quickly retreated against the reality that rose in opposition. The seams of a reality he once knew unraveled leaving only frayed edges of a damage tapestry. Grief waited to crowd in on him, hiding in the shadowy pools of his eyes impatiently shifting until it could corner him and take hold. “Because they didn’t need me.” Not like you did. It was left unspoken, lost to the void of his dispirited heart. “I wanted something else more.” The words tasted like iron on his tongue. Maybe it was pointless to explain, to tell her that he had done it so that he could be with her, that he had finally seen the error of his ways. A classic I didn’t know what I had until it was gone. “I introduced them to the Lanterns.” It was too little, too late. 

Because they didn’t need me. Her heart shattered and she bit the bottom of her lip to keep it from trembling. She needed him and it was selfish. Black Manta had come back full force and he had been off world - so far away, she couldn’t even contact him. She felt selfish for needing him, for wanting him around especially when her world was dark. But it wasn’t fair for her to keep him to herself to keep him from his calling in life so she had accepted it when they parted ways. “Everyone needs you - you’re Jon Kent.” she said her voice soft. Even now she wanted to cling to him, the ring on her finger burning the soft flesh that lay delicately under it. She swallowed that feeling down. Dory nodded along with his words. She wanted it to be her he needed. “And what will you do now?” Was he staying? was he taking off again? She wasn’t sure her heart could handle either answer.

        Jon’s eyes gravitated towards the movement in his peripheral vision, gaze landing upon the ring as Dory rotated it around her ring finger. The ring itself didn’t catch his attention as much as the placement of it. The sight of it twisted his stomach into unbearable knots, setting his nerves into overdrive. The world around him grew louder and the ground seemed to crumble beneath his weight. The words he had planned next died on his tongue. Metropolis, Smallville, the Legion all felt so far away as fear buried its talons into his heart. Blinking, his eyes moved back to meet the glittering sapphire of Dory’s. “No.” He choked on the word, struggling to release it. “I told them I couldn’t be part of their group anymore.” Jon admitted, a surge of guilt running his blood cold. 

Dory watched his expression change and embarrassment covered her cheeks in a soft red hue. She stopped fiddling with her left hand placing her hands behind her back, ashamed. When they had broken things off her engagement had gone through full force and there was nothing she could do about it - she’d surrendered to her fate, without Jon she had just accepted what was inevitable. “Why?” she prodded on. Ultimately his off world heroics had led to their downfall as well as the pressures Dory faced at home, she hated the feeling in her chest that bubbled up whenever he left, hated that selfish feeling of wanting him home when he was off being a hero. “I thought you were staying with them joining their team officially - what changed?”

“We did good, no need to worry.” Benji saw Haley was a little worried about her performance. She had told him before about the lineage she needed to live up to. “You are doing great, plus we always look badass in action!” A chuckle had escaped his half full mouth, along with some food. “ I did actually. I’ve been cooking for quite some time now. It’s become one of my favorite hobbies, and its a great distraction. This meal only took me 15 minutes to make this morning. I didn’t have much time this morning so I just threw what I had together. I’m glad it decided to turn out well.” 

Haley smiled. Perhaps she was too focused on her heritage and the legacy she needed to live up to and leave behind than what was right in front of her. It weighed heavy on her being able to keep up with her cousins and the big shoes she needed to fit. “Yeah, you’re right we do.” she laughed out. Haley liked Benji, she liked teaming up with him. She never felt like she had to compete or be good enough in front of him, she just had to be her. “You’re really good at it, this is really good.” she complimented. “I didn’t even think to grab something - actually this might be my first meal of the day - maybe I had coffee earlier.”

        Dory remained just as sweet as she was in the memories he shared with her, her kindness never-ending for those she cared about. It was a beautiful thing to watch her speak of them, his lips curving into a graceful smile as she spoke of Atlantis. It was easy to see it from her perspective, a wonderous place filled with magic. One day he would be lucky to visit. Dog earring that thought, his focus was brought back to the current moment as questions were reflect towards him. “I visited Metropolis. I wanted to check on Kara. She told me to tell you she says hi.” Jon had found himself less willing and eager to support off world endeavors after his breakup with Dory. The Lanterns and Legions of Super-Heroes had space covered for the most part. There wasn’t much for him there anyway, not the way that there were things for him on Earth, his heart tethered to the planet in the same way his father’s had been. 

His smile was contagious, it always had been. Dory smiled back but looked at her feet her fingers twisting the new ring on her left hand ring finger back and forth. There was a time when she thought Jon would be her forever - that nothing could stand in their way, that they’d defy all odds. It hurt to think about that now. “Tell her I say hello as well, I have missed her. I hope Metropolis is also doing well, must have been nice to go back home even if it wasn’t smallville home.” she told him. “Have you been back with the Legion?” she asked curiously.

       Jon was still trying to reconcile with the pain, the ache of his heart that worked its way through the entirety of his body only to immobilize him in front of her. The loss of Dory weighed heavy on his soul, although it couldn’t have been guessed by a simple glance at him. Jon kept his devastation locked away, only letting it devour him in isolation, never allowing it to show in the presence of others. It was another burden he would bear alone. Instead, he smiled at the blonde, hoping that friendship would be enough. “So, how was it?” He asked, referring to her trip to Atlantis. 

Dory smiled softly. Her heart ached for him, she hated that they were apart but under the circumstances she knew that there was a reason they had called things off - though standing in front of him now she couldn’t for the life of her remember why. “It was lovely to be back, I have missed my family and my people, my home.” she explained. She left out the part about Fin and their engagement and the celebration in Atlantis. She couldn’t bring herself to mention those things to him, it felt wrong. Dory never wanted to hurt him. “Were you off world? or did you stay in Gotham?” she asked curiously. Jon was set to take over the superman title, she knew the pressure that role came with.

        “Whoa!” Jack protested, arms raised to the sides of his face in defense. “Who said I was here to antagonize you? I don’t remember saying that and if your imaginary friend that occupied this seat whispers things to you I think you might need more help than we thought, Little Star.” Lowering his hands to the table between them, he leaned forward to whisper, “Maybe someone should send you away to get help.” There was no part of Jack that cared to walk away until he felt satisfied with the conversation despite the repeated suggestion of risk to life and limb. Pulling back, he smirked at the woman. “But then you would be so far away from Bruce. Tell me then: Does your imaginary friend whisper things to you, Daphne?” 

“Are you serious right now?” Daphne scoffed. “Why would we be talking otherwise if you weren’t sitting across from me just to get under my skin.” Jack Sionis didn’t have a good bone in his entire body and Daphne didn’t trust him, even now in a busy coffee shop. Daphne leaned back in her seat, arms crossed over her chest her lips set in a tight line. “I don’t care what Bruce does - all I care about is stopping the both of you.” she caught his food under the table with both of hers and held it in place. “Now you can walk away and let me drink my coffee in piece - or.” she said twisting his foot slowly. “You can hobble out of here.”

DAISY JONES & THE SIX  ↳book > screen

I felt like I couldn’t focus on playing if I dressed in miniskirts and boots and all that. I mean, I liked that look, but I wore high-waisted jeans and turtlenecks most of the time.

“Come on Karen, who’s going to tell you no? We own that stage. Everyone is here because of us. Fuck wardrobe. Wear what you want.” Daisy said, giving her friend a shrug. “Besides, you look hot in that coat.” She looked hot in everything, but she was sure that she knew that. “The only reason I’m not wearing one is- well… I don’t really remember where it went. I put it down somewhere, then it grew legs and walked away. Never to be seen again.”

“That’s true. Rod did tell me to wear low cut shirts and I did tell him to eat shit and that was that.” she mused letting out a soft laugh. “You know what - a cigarette before we go on and i’ll be right as rain.” she said digging through her pockets before she found what she was looking for. She held that pack out to Daisy. “Joining me?” she asked digging through the other massive pocket for her lighter.
