“I SUPPOSE I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING. OR DIE.”   /   @invintsible

“no!” the word is punched from her in shock, the distress written all over her face. she's seen him all kinds of beat up, bloody, bruised, and broken, but he's always bounced back from it. this time won't be any different. “you can't die, you're—”

“—dying's not on the table.” easy words for anybody to say, but coming from lovebug they sound like a promise; like a fact of the universe. so little about lovebug makes sense logically. a pacifist superhero? that sounds absurd and like anyone would get squashed like a, well, like a bug in a second flat if they tried it. but sometimes the unshakable conviction of andie's heart is just stronger and the universe needs to bend to her will.

she reaches out her gloved hands for his and holds on tight. for all that their heroics are so different from one another's, this someone she has always walked beside. they met only shortly after she got her powers and have grown up together, in a way, even if his growing has expanded to take him beyond earth and into the far reaches of space, while hers has come to include a handful more blocks of the city. he's stepped up for the entire world, and yet he thinks the world won't step up for him? “you're not the only protector on this planet.” the grip she has on his fingers would probably be crushing to anybody else, a refusal to let him go, “you don't have to think of something alone.”

[invintsible]

mark's eyes widen, and he jumps ever so slightly where he sits from the sudden half scream half plead that is her voice. " woah, uh, " her conviction makes him a little queasy, " i was kidding, " or maybe that's just the feeling of her holding onto his hand. he tries to pull his away, but her grasp doesn't seem to budge and now he's left blinking at the interaction. lovebug in many ways reminds him of oliver. she didn't always, but now especially when he finds himself taken far more seriously than he should be and she looks at him like he's gone and stolen her halloween candy.

" i was just kidding. i'm not... gonna actually die or whatever. " it's hardly even that serious. few things are when you've been to outer space for not one but multiple intergalactic conflicts. " i'll be okay. but i appreciate it - you - your support, " not that he knows what to do with it. though her hope is clearly strong, it doesn't change the fact that as far as earth's protectors go, invincible is one of a kind. that comes with responsibilities mark has been haunted by since he first donned the suit. lovebug's great, well intentioned, but she's a street fighter. what he needs is a lawyer, preferably one versed in saaimdorian law. lovebug probably hasn't even left the county. " i'm being summoned to stand trial in saaimdor, " he reveals. " i haven't figured out how to tell cecil, he's been pissed off lately at everything. and eve! " he throws the empty hand he has up in the hour, " i don't know how to tell eve. "

like this post for memes! multis no need to specify muses. let's get stuff going 🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️🦸🏻‍♂️

[lvebug]

“nicknames are fun! they're cute!” a show of love! plus invincible is a little long. she thinks about having to shout look out invincible! in a panic when a building starts collapsing or something and it's kind of a mouthful.

she waves her milkshake around as she tries to argue her point. vince is clever! that took work to come up with and andie's proud of it. they'd agreed early on to no names and for good reason because they both understand why it's important to have a secret identity and not even andie's uncle knows that she's lovebug so she can't really afford to let word get out, but they can still be friends. and friends give each other nicknames! “you can come up with a name for— wait. what do you mean those are their names?” andie blinks rapidly one, two, three times, the wide lenses of her mask fluttering quickly. this was definitely not information she had. “like on his birth certificate? like it says 'rex' on his birth certificate? you didn't do that too, right? vince isn't actually your name is it?” it's her turn to stare at him now, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. she'd just thought it was, like, a trend of the teen team to have name names in their hero names. what if she's just stumbled on mark's actual name? the one thing they'd been trying to avoid?

[invintsible]

when mark thinks about nicknames he thinks about the way that will calls him marky in a sing song voice when he really needs to make a favor sound extra sweet. he always gives in, but not because of marky; marky is more of an early warning system that what's coming is going to be work, put him out on the curb, or empty his wallet of the little cash that it has because he's already blown his weekly paycheck on comics. he hears vince and he cringes. it's just a completely other name.

" what?! " his head shakes, " no, vince isn't actually - no, why would i do that? no. i'm just invincible. it's not a name thing, it's just... my name, y'know? " he sets down his drink. he doesn't know what rex' birth certificate says. maybe rex is short for something, not that he's sure what. " i don't know, but those are their names. it's what they're called. rex is ... rex. that's why his hero name is rexsplode because... he's rex and he... explodes, " his voice trails off and he feels that this explanation isn't actually much of one -- simply pointing out the obvious. " it's the same with dupli-kate. " it dawns on him that all of the teen team has a very obvious naming pattern -- robot included.

BLEACHERS: STRANGE DESIRE ( the album ) change as necessary !

well, everything has changed

it's only you that matters

i will find any way to your wild heart

why did they have to go and do us like that?

was i brave to think everything must die for anyone to matter?

oh god, i never thought we'd take it that far

some killer queen you are

i'm running and i can't stop

anywhere i go i think about it every day and night, i can't let go

man, i'm never the same

you are such a rollercoaster

there are some girls, they really just want to hurt you

there's some boys who'll laugh when they break your heart

how love dies is a place that i'm not going

if you're feeling small i will love your shadow

so we're looking for a villain

i'll be there

when the lights go down i will stand right beside you

i know that they hurt you

i know it's getting harder

i've trained myself to give up on the past

i wanna get better

i didn't know i was lonely 'til i saw your face

i didn't know i was broken 'til i wanted to change

i chase that feeling of an eighteen year old who didn't know what loss was

i'd rather be sad with you than anywhere away from you

i can't believe i captured your heart

if you're lonely, wake me

i could use a bad disguise

i keep finding my way to the harshest words

i got a strange, strange vision

get out, stand back

if you don't let go, you're gonna break me

love isn't always right

hate is a part of life

i need you to pay attention

i hate that i need you

i know that you're sorry

you forget that i bleed too, i'm a human

we gotta get outta this place

i mean i can't sit still, can't catch a break

i don't how much of this i can take

i woke up thinking you were still here

i saw you standing on your own

i could run away

i could let them down

i will remember your light

your light it follows me in darkness

i'm trying hard but i can't win

the summer's gone and i'm alone

what i lost in you i will not replace

i hope you know i'm not alone

i won't let up

i thought i wanted to forget my past

i tried to leave the pieces of a broken man

someday i'm gonna make this right

someday i'm gonna get on my knees

everything has changed and i can't tell what matters

i wonder if i'll ever have this again

i will love what you want me to love

i will bleed when you want me to bleed

i don't want to know too much of anything

it all hurts me

you couldn't have known it was a trap.

i knew i could count on you.

were you hiding the whole time?

you saw what they did out there.

i can't believe we won.

how long have i been out?

we're lucky the walls held.

no more bloodshed.

here, i think this is yours.

you impressed me.

think i'll sleep for two days straight after a fight like that.

i'm still limping, but i'll be fine.

i can't believe they're gone.

don't blame yourself.

they were stronger than we were.

i tried to save them.

are you giving up?

it was close. we made it out.

how are we supposed to beat them?

never do that again.

it'll be dark soon. we should move.

how are your injuries? let me see them.

stay close to me.

i'm not as young as i once was.

that went better than expected.

i don't think i can do that again.

i need a medic over here!

i'm a little sore, but i'll be okay.

war is hell.

i didn't know what to think.

they were ready for us.

we did what we could.

i can still remember the screams.

was it worth it? for this?

i don't think this is a fight that can be won.

you left me to fend for myself out there!

i thought you were dead.

after a fight like that, i want you to stay close.

i'm more worried about you.

i saw you fall.

let me clean you up.

where does it hurt?

it was a trap.

this used to be a pretty spot once.

can't believe it's all gone.

one second you were right beside me, and the next, you were gone.

i knew i'd see you again.

pull yourself together!

no one's ever taken that castle.

we knew it'd be close.

you dropped your sword.

is it over?

i don't think i can do this anymore.

i had your back!

this is a lost cause.

i'm not strong enough.

you're covered in blood.

next time, we'll be ready for them.

i needed you out there!

i couldn't have done this without your help.

we should keep moving.

we're not done yet.

they had the numbers.

genuinely, mark grayson is a perfect fit for your writing style. i think you're NAILING his voice and mannerisms already. i'm so excited to read more and see his character grow under your talented and creative hands.

i was very excited to take him on and he does feel similar in many ways to existing muses i have or old ones i’ve written which in a way has made it difficult to find his voice because i’ve been trying not to make him too much of one voice and find his unique one. this means so much to me and your constant support is always appreciated!! ahhhh!!! i hope to do everyone proud with my writing of him

beep beep how’s my portrayal ?

what is this air fryer and why does it not fry air it heats food

maybe he should just swing on him. one of these times it’ll have to work. “ you know when you said you and your people would disappear into society, humanity would never know you were here and all that, i thought that would include me too. ” thragg promised to not affect earth in any way, and yet mark finds himself thoroughly irritated. that’s a violation of their terms isn’t it? he can punch thragg now? “ it fries the food, ” voice flat, “ you use it to fry stuff in the air, instead of … like drowning it in oil. ”

“people will, like, call atom eve eve for short and rex splode rex so what about vince. i'm gonna call you vince for short. get it- cause invinceable?”

mark’s stands with his mouth gaping slightly as lovebug talks. “ yeah i think we can just pass on the nickname thing. i don’t need a nickname. ” vince? is she being serious? “ there’s nothing wrong with invincible. ” it’s a great name, an iconic super name — the kind people draw, and rave about, as art once pitched it. it’s the kind of name that he feels proud to have, maybe even badass. yeah. invincible is pretty badass. “ you know those are their names right? they call them that because those are like… their names? ” maybe eve’s name gets a pass, it’s a play on stuff, but rex? rex splode?

[invintsible]

both his fists clench, “ not even a little. you have a seriously fucked up definition of fun. ” mark wants to grab the guy by the front of his suit, but his head turns out towards the rest of the city — some friends are laughing around a phone. there’s a mom on a bike with her kids. “ how many are there? ” he needs to save these people, he needs… he needs to start looking, but he has no notion of where to start. “ how do you expect me to find them? ”

[supurman]

oh      he was fresh off the presses, wasn't he  ? clark remembered when he was 21 and first put on his cape. but this invincible looked even younger than that. clark could only chuckle quietly feeling the sense of amateur heroing. not out of malice, but nostalgia. he saw himself in most kid heros. clark shook Invincibles' hand. his was much larger, and more calloused from all the years of being superman. ❝   hello,   invincible. good work there !  i'm superman. sorry for coming into your city. i heard omniman was hospitalized recently. and seeing how this was his city i figured i'd have a look for myself. ❞

[invintsible]

mark's eyes widen ever so slightly at the grip of the handshake. the way the other hand envelops his own ushers the realization of just how much smaller and newer he is than the man before him. superman is a legend, a hall of fame kind of hero like the immortal or ... his dad. “ oh, right, yeah, he’s actually doing better, " palms turning up, " i mean that’s what i’ve heard at least, " in his own living room, " takes a lot to keep that guy down! " real casual, mark. way to go. " but, it's a good thing you were here. you helped make the damage way less bad than it could have been, so y'know, thanks, " nodding, " and welcome to the windy city! if metropolis doesn't need you back yet, we could really use the help these days after ... everything. "

[saintspoetic]

delicate fingers flick a blob of red from where it had taken root on her cheek. yuck. shoulders roll, body starting to feel the aches and pains of a fight well fought. already clean up crews are on the scene, surveying the debris that surrounds them. her head turns from the slight, red hair falling over her shoulder as invincible earns himself a smile. ❝ wow - burger mart, huh? you sure know how to treat a girl. ❞ the curve of her lip accompanies the teasing in her voice. eve can think of worse ways to spend an evening. ❝ race you there. ❞ with that she's gone in a streak of pink, keep an eye out for a blur of yellow and blue beside her.

[invintsible]

his shoulders shrug up, grin proud. burger mart, where in all honesty mark probably can't get them a discount, but he'll try -- it's a thursday night, that means lacey has to be working and if she is well then he's in luck. she'll punch in her employee discount for anyone. " HEY! " his feet point, driving down into the ground and sending him launching up into the air right on her heels, " that's not fair! you got a head start! " he chases after her, fast. flying is still something he's just starting to feel settled in, with the wind in his ears and face. he can only assume that eve's had all her life to practice it; the taste of defeat isn't nearly so bitter in his mouth as he lands beside her, smiling and shaking his head. their respective costumes lit up under the neon of the signs, he looks to eve, " wow - " mocking her earlier teasing, "who knew you were such a cheat. "

[alleyspat]

"flux ain't bad compared to ass kicker... i'd definitely give that more time to cook," knox's tone is light as he shakes his head at the kid; he won't go into why using a superhero name isn't something he's ever wanted, ass kicker seems green, and a little too excited, "how long you been uh... y'know, doin' the superhero thing?"

[invintsible]

“ yeah, i - i think so too, ” he lets out a breath, the words quiet and more to himself. honesty feels … embarrassing. mark’s been a hero for all of a minute, and had his powers for only a minute more, but to admit that feels he’d be shooting himself down and killing the start of any reputation he might have. “ oh, uh, ” chest puffing, posture straightening, “ a little while. yeah. ” that doesn’t sound so bad right? “ can i be honest? you look really familiar, but your name doesn’t ring any bells. are you like… rebranding? ”
