follows, asks, and likes come from @mastcrmarksman

featuring zinda blake aka lady blackhawk, headcanon based. selective & low-activity sideblog. written by izzy.

activity will always be slow as writing is a hobby for me that ebs and flows, muse will strike me at times and i go where my greatest interest is at writing at the time; it's why i have multiple muses because i have a great passion for exploring a lot of things and want the flexibility and freedom to enjoy this hobby and enjoy writing my greatest interests at the time.

i am new to the DC universe as a whole and as such, there is a lot of niches and broader universe lore. i am a marvel fan first, so my understanding how dc's multiverse and different earths is poor and may make inferences that are more akin to how marvel comics lore works. I am getting into DC, but please expect that there we will be gaps in knowledge or take different reactions from my lois and my self due to this lack of dc knowledge. i am reading, but slow and selectively/mostly superman titles only.

i will not respond to "i hope you follow me asks" or dms that simply start off with "hi".

if you follow this blog, you are its mutual. if you follow @mastcrmarksman you are this blog's mutual as well and asks sent to either inboxes (this blog or @mastcrmarksman) is valid.

“We did. And I totally let you win.”

“Are you sure…?”

“Yes. Absolutely.”

She purses her lips, her prior amusement somewhat in her gleam but simmering as Helena opens up. That's not all that surprising to the Blackhawk; when she was home with the Blackhawks, she was the easiest to open up to. At the time she was sure that was due to her gender, one of the few women amongst the men, but now she's learning maybe it really was just her personality. ❝ Ah know you have feelings as ugly as havin' them are. ❞ She chimes in, only briefly to let Helena continue expressing herself.

Zinda gets exactly what she was saying, and she's seen how it provokes people. She can recall the toe-stepping that happen between the boys, the way that Andre did something versus how Dutch or Chop-Chop did because they came from different parts of the world and got offended over nothing more than a difference of cultures. ❝ Sure, and you care about your work and that should be all that matters. ❞ Helena did care, from Zinda's point of view, whether the others saw that in the way they wanted them to what was up for debate. ❝ That's enough, and maybe, she should just accept she's just got herself a good agent, nothing more, doesn't need to be more, right? ❞ She's not gonna out right say it, but she always thought their problems were quite similar.

❝ Careful, Hel, it almost sounds like you're talking about feelings territory. ❞ The blonde woman teases, thinking back to the tensions she had seen between Oracle and Huntress when she first joined the birds. Zinda chalked it up originally as being unable to talk feelings honestly; a tried and true cause of any group dispute and one she had seen before with the Blackhawks. ❝ Seriously though, what the hell was that? You alright? Need ol' Zinda to give someone a chewing out or roughing up? ❞

do you remember what i told you last time?

have you been doing well since i saw you?

that's not what you told me back then.

when was the last time i saw you?

you were shorter then.

i'm picking the restaurant this time.

we've known each other since we were children.

always knew i could count on you.

that time was different. this is worse.

you're not going to let me live that down, are you?

i seem to remember a conversation we had back then.

so you changed your mind about it?

do you remember our encounter in paris?

you should know me by now.

am i the only one that knows the truth?

we had a lot of help back then.

your mom told me to look out for you.

you just love bringing that back up to annoy me.

maybe don't mention my past indescretions?

this was never going to work out between us.

i told you not to get attached.

i know more about you than you think.

i was there, remember?

i'm not about to forget all the shit you put me through.

you told me you were going to try and make this work.

remember what i said to you?

the last time i saw you, things were good between us.

you never mentioned this before.

that was the longest flight of my life, and you made it worse.

can i still trust you after all that?

at least we tried to make something work.

we never discussed what happened between us.

okay, but i'm driving the car this time.

i haven't forgotten what you said last week.

i'm still thinking about your comment.

i didn't realize it was you when i first saw you.

you seem to make a lot of enemies around here.

there's not much for us to talk about.

we worked it out last time.

i know you far better than you know yourself.

we have a long history.

is that the shirt you were wearing last time?

what don't i know about you?

i haven't told them about us.

you were the only person i could go to.

you know me.

this is bigger than both of us.

i can't stand your driving.

are you taking me to the place we had dinner last time?

that's not at all what you said.

didn't we agree on that?

i thought i made it very clear where i stand.

are these the same people that came after you last time?

are you still going on about it?

can we talk about it?

staying silent about it won't help.

you're the only person who knows the real me.

this is a bad time to talk about your problems.

We had this agreement. Olaf, bless his heart... He was smarter than anyone gave him credit for. He said it was a "tontine." The last of us would drink a toast from this bottle... to the memory of the time. So I'm keeping my word. I'M ZINDA BLAKE -- LAST OF THE BLACKHAWKS.

LESLIE SHAY — in Chicago Fire | “Hanging On”

[ldyblkhwk]

hc.

need to make her bop icons

Zinda is both a pilot and mechanic, she works with many forms of highly advance aircraft and vehicles. She was self taught, in the beginning, when she was an honorary member of the Blackhawks for many years, she did learn a lot more and get formally trained in several forms of military combat, flight controls, and mechanics.

The shock of new technology was not as overwhelming as people would assume for her; a lot had changed, but at the most the biggest shock was culture. She did NOT fumble with learning smart phones and what not, she dived right into learning the advancements in aircraft.

Now this being said, Zinda does not get the appeal and will probably never will of using any social media. She will text and use text, but she genuinely prefers phone calls, she prefers hearing a persons voice. She's more likely to facetime/video call than send texts to have a chat.

She does have social media, which she uses sparsely and mostly as part of her responsibility as Spokesperson for Blackhawk airlines; she uses it to promote social causes she believes in, fundraising for various programs that help veterans and women. She might post a lovely photo set of herself followed with captions about something legitimately important (somewhat reminiscent of how she knew her photos were used for recruitment for the air force both for men and later for women) information or causes.
