“see, you’re probably the only one person i let bossing me ‘round. not tonight, though.” the blonde had a giant smile on her face, her blue eyes malicious as she looked at the man facing her; wearing nothing but black. she always loved that color on him, really. “i think you’ll have to, yes. sorry. you’re no king of gotham in new-york.” dinah gave him a wink. she took a few steps towards him. “superman and wonder woman are also here.”

❛  I’VE NEVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A KING.  ❜  those dark eyes watch her move, watch the space around her. it shifts  &  bends, light bouncing from a streetlamp to her golden hair. the batman feels pathetically at a loss, hiding himself beneath the fabric of his cape like a true bat does while it sleeps. he knew this was not a dream  &  not a time for hiding.   ❛   i’ve spoken to them both. neither know why we’re here.   ❜

“ so then why is everyone judging me for my choice in what i want to wear?? “ sarah eyed the other, trying to figure him out. “ well i have been told i’m quite strange before, but i do not believe that. people see what they want to. “ laughing, she leaned forward. “ maybe i just like children. “

❛   I’VE LEARNED QUITE EARLY ON . . .   ❜  he begins, clasping his hands together at the small of his back as he continues.  ❛   that people often judge on the most superficial of things.  ❜  bruce finds himself quirking an eyebrow, his usual charm still slick on his tongue.  ❛   you have a naive way of seeing the world, miss. and perhaps you do, how should i know?   ❜

No matter what world Vav occupied, he knew what the dark was - darkness was fear, it was the unknown, it was a breeding place for all things sinister and evil. Darkness was the same in each universe; it never changed. He couldn’t change either - he had to be strong, he had to be the light, he had to be a superhero. So being told to go home did not sit well with him. “ So I’m gonna make sure it becomes safe. ” That’s what he was here for.

[gothambled-blog]

❛   ━━━━━  YOU’RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE.   ❜   you think yourself some sort of superhero, he wonders. patience he had little of, wishing to push past him  &  continue on. the bat finds himself towering over the boy, urging him to go home. the darkness was no place for an eager boy.   ❛   and it isn’t your job.  ❜

Halloweentown had always been cloaked in darkness. To Jack, darkness was a friend; it was peaceful, soft, gentle, a cradle to swath him in the unknown. This feeling followed him in every world - he cared for the darkness, and the darkness cared for him. It was familiar, just about as familiar as New York City had become. “ It’s plenty safe here. ” His voice was just as gentle as how he felt the darkness was around them. “ There’s really no need to be afraid. ”

[gothambled-blog]

a gentle scoff squeezed from between his lips, few knew what real fear had been. it was something much more than darkness, fear had never been confined to the shadows -- it could linger in the sunlight  &  play around on swing sets with children present.    ❛   FEAR CAN BE QUITE IMPORTANT.   ❜   his belt feels heavy on his hips, a reminder of the burden he refuses to shed.  ❛   ━━━━━  it can be an indicator of danger. keep us from harm. ❜

chloe listened to the deep voice before shaking her head as she pulled her gun out of her holster by her hip, “i have never been one who is so easily scared. i am staying, understood?”

[gothambled-blog]

❛      ━━━━━  SUIT YOURSELF.    ❜  his patience had shrunk to nothing in the span of a couple hours. there’s a sniff before he pushes past her, pressing himself against the hard wall before looking back at her.   ❛  if you follow, i’ll know.   ❜

judith was still wary to walk on her own. she didn’t want to stray too far from anyone she knew. plus they might be upset if she did. but she wanted to explore more, to meet new people. she just happened to end up in a dark, empty alleyway. when a gruff voice spoke, she gasped and turned around swiftly, seeing a dark figure. “i-i’m just lookin’ around…”

[gothambled-blog]

❛   LOOKING AROUND CAN GET YOU KILLED.   ❜  he speaks softly, as soft as he can manage. everyday he had found more displaced people, he wondered if she had been one of them. at least the suit had given him the comfort  &  anonymity of home.    ❛   you ever been to new york city before?   ❜

“You know, you’re grumpy as fucking hell.” Irey frowned and snarked back. Sticking her tongue out at Batman, Bruce to her, “I think you need a surgery for your attitude. You get happier as the future goes on, didja know that? Wanna talk about people with attitude issues though? That’d be Damian. He’s a piece of work the size of frickin Alaska.”

❛   ━━━━━  ROBIN.   ❜   he corrects her, ignoring the comments that came before. the code protected them, kept them from danger  &  the rest of the league had known its importance. finding themselves in another universe did not excuse them from dropping his carefully built identity. perhaps, irey had always been too young to understand.  ❛    always a pleasure to see you, kid.    ❜

jensen did what any young adult would do when thrust into an alternate time period with no knowledge on how or why—he drank. god, was beer better now or what? or…here. here or now? fuck if he knew. he didn’t know nothin’, and right now, he didn’t particularly care. for the first time in years he wasn’t in a goddamn war zone. he stumbled through the ally, the sound of the near empty beer bottle in his hand clanging against a dumpster he passed making him jump and spin. and when he’d figured out it was his own mistake (shit was he gone or what), he turned around right into the space of a…guy in a cape and a face mask. “jesus fuckin’ christ,” jensen peddled back, falling ungracefully on his ass—but saved the beer bottle. “what in the hell of it are you doin’, cat?” it’s not safe here. jensen laughed. he probably shouldn’t have, given that this guy was…in a cape, whatever that meant. probably not a good thing. he looked damn scary. wouldn’t that be ironic? survived nam, to come and get his ass killed by this guy. “this is the safest place i’ve been in years.”

[gothambled-blog]

it didn’t look like a costume as he held out his hand, gauntlets thick around his knuckles. eyes hazy with alcohol, batman did not judge him for the small pleasure.  ( everyone has their vices, especially those displaced from their rightful homes. )  he didn’t belong here, same as him. his expansive schooling rising hesitantly to the surface. he noticed an american uniform that spoke of the tragedy he’d endured, late 1960s -- vietnam. his fingers stretched into the open air, waiting for him to accept the help. he must remember that this is not gotham, innocents know not that the bat meant safety.   ❛   YOU MIGHT HAVE LEFT ONE WAR ZONE FOR ANOTHER.   ❜   there are too many to protect, too many falling from his grasp. the confused & helpless, from worlds where superheroes did not exist.

“you sound like you’re FUN at parties.” something about his tone made him a real KILLJOY. “you seem— fun.” sarcasm was just SEEPING from her lips. “i can take care of myself; no thanks to you, sir killjoy! i’m certain that’s your name since you’re keen on the shadows?”

[gothambled-blog]

his lips press tightly together, eyeing her from beneath the cowl.    ❛    i suppose putting yourself in danger is something people do for a fun night out.   ❜    there’s a soft annoyance beginning behind his eyes, flickering in her direction only to switch back to the shadows.   ❛     IT’S NOT  &  I DON’T THINK YOU CAN.    ❜

on instinct he broke into a smile at the sound of the all-too-familiar batman register, one dick would never forget or mistake. “batman,” he said, keenly aware of how the word exhaled on something like relief. ( so it came to this again; dick grayson, nothing but a scared little boy looking for his daddy, no matter how much he insisted—wanted to believe—otherwise. ) “i’m afraid i may be a long, long way from home.” or perhaps standing right next to it.

[gothambled-blog]

a sharp exhale, a breath filled of worrisome fear that gnawed at the pockets of air inside his lungs. it left his chest with such a rush, he could suddenly breathe again.  ❛   ━━━━━ NIGHTWING,   ❜  he speaks without turning his gaze toward him, daring to press his lips together into a rare smile. memories of days spent brooding in the dark, a small spot of light suddenly peering from a doorway. dick grayson’s voice piercing through the angry air. those memories urged his fingertips to pull the heavy mask from his face.   ❛  hopefully we can work together to keep you from getting too homesick.  ❜

TIME TO APPLY FOR ILLYA KURYAKIN!!!!!!!!!!!! you guys don’t understand how much i love this big russian spy. im about to cry.

“really giving me orders, batman? i thought we were over that.” it has been a few days since dinah first got here and this was a face she was waiting to see, or well… half a face. a little smile on her face, the blonde walked out of the dark alley she was in just so she could face him. “it’s safer than loads of places i’ve been in, really.”

[gothambled-blog]

❛    ━━━━━   I’M ONLY DOING AS ANY LEADER SHOULD.    ❜    there’d been no hint of amusement in his tone, the batman had not allowed it -- no matter how much pleasure he derived from her presence. he’d needed no facial recognition for dinah lance as he’d caught her gaze.  ❛    though, i don’t think there’s much of a team to lead.   ❜   beneath the cowl his brows furrow,     ❛    perhaps this is just a situation i’ve just got to accept, huh?    ❜

It had been another long day. Days were always long, even on this world, and luckily Clark didn’t sleep all that much. He’d been here months now and knew that this world was going to find out about ‘them’. Bits had already been coming across the teleype at work and recent events had made it a more public thing. So he was done playing around. Clark took a more active role in this world, doing what he could when he could and trying his best to not interfere in their human affairs and politics. He’d been in Central America earlier, helping some people are torrential rains caused flooding. They didn’t believe it, but they didn’t push him away when he offered them a hand and took them to dry land. 

Finally, early in the evening he returned to the compound, feet setting down gently in the courtyard. “Good evening,” he said to someone he found sitting there. “Still nothing on a way back home,” informed the Man of Steel. Everyday he looped the world a few times, trying to find some ‘crack in the universe’, for lack of a better term, that might send them back home for good.

[gothambled-blog]

❛     ━━━━━   CLARK.   ❜   few knew his identity, fewer still he’d trusted it with. the man of steel had earned his name. though, the idea of trust sits idle like a child -- ready to fly from his seat at any distraction. bruce held his partners’ weaknesses in the palm of his hand. ( superman: kryptonite. ) that power came with an isolation he was well accustomed to.   ❛   i’m afraid we’ve found ourselves in a seamless universe.   ❜  the frustration is plain on his bare face, speaking in hushed tones. he clung to normalcy, the code which kept his identity a secret -- it was all held in place precariously by his fingertips.
