SEND ☕ FOR OUR MUSES TO HAVE A COFFEE DATE

“This has got to be the worst date ever.” Aaron sighs, leans over the table in the break room. “Sorry.”

He'd called Gabe and said he couldn't make it. There's a man with a severe GSW resting on the table in in an exam room, waiting for his friend to come pick him up and take him to the emergency room. The clinic, right now, it won't give the man the painkillers he needs.

Aaron'd pinned him as Benjamin ( Benji, everyone just called him ) the moment he came in. One of Penguin's, and not a bad man out of uniform. Four or five years older than Aaron. Would've died if the bullet went an inch higher. For now, Aaron is assured that he won't venture out of the room, that he'll call if he needs help.

Back to Gabe. Gabe, who understands that work comes first and had deigned to come to Aaron. With coffee, even! He can tell that the steaming contents of the cup is a blend Gabe thought he would like. The thought is touching.

He holds Gabe's hand across the table, finger pressed to the callous on Gabe's trigger finger. His hurried extraction of the bullet left blood on his shirt; it will dry and stiffen later. He'll probably have to throw the shirt away. He lowers his head, chest to the table; forehead pressed to the back of Gabe's hand.

“Thanks for the coffee. You're the best.”

"You guys were betting on my sexuality?" Firefly looks caught between pleased and annoyed. Eventually he settles on pleased. "Did you win?"

cheers, love, the cavalry’s queer

“Yep.” Sphinx grins and pulls two ten dollar bills out of his knapsack. He’s going to buy food with it, most likely-- he’s been running around all day, and coming across Firefly is more of a lucky coincidence than anything. “Five for the preference, fifteen for the person.”

Oh boy. He should not look so proud of himself.

❝don’t look at me like that.❞

random!

“Don't tell me what to do.”

Sphinx huffs out a pissy sigh. They're both trapped, not by Rumor ( who, granted, also wanted to kill their ilk ) but by someone else he didn't know yet; he'd gotten sights of red and black, yellow accents, but nothing else. A figure that skulked around in the shadows-- waiting. Watching. It's just Firefly and Sphinx right now, both bearing sibling breaks in armor; around the ankle, like victims of a saw-toothed snare.

When he speaks next, he's scared.

“What's going to happen to us?”

@freezerburninc wanted a starter ♛

“Have we met before?” Lucy’s eyes narrowed as she looked the man in front of her up and down. Crossing her arms over her chest, she heard a bullet echo from her father’s office down the hall. “Anyways, Daddy’s a little tense right now from his last meeting so you’re better off out here.”

“Holy Christ you’re fucking muscular.”

“Things I’ve said while sleepy and/or tipsy” sentence starters

Harley snorted a rather ungraceful and smug laugh as he continued to feel her flexed bicep with a look of almost awe.“I told ya so! I may look cute an’ tiny, an’ I am, but I can kick ass for a reason!”

⊗ { either muse~

Send me ⊗ for 3+ headcanons about your muse and mine.

1- Firefly is super fun to bother, and it’s quite easy to get under his skin- Ivy doesn’t even need to try hard half of the time to get him round up. 2- Freeze on the other hand.. not so much, he’s a bit too cold. But seriously, he is cold! It’s like if Ivy spends too long with a person they might get sick from being around a person with so many toxins running through their veins.. Freeze is like that. He’s cold and Ivy can’t handle the cold well.3- When Freeze does chill her too much, she regrettably uses Firefly to help heat herself back up. She has no problem using a person like this, it’s just that the fact that if he has any braincells he might figure out this was a weakness that can be used against her.4- Both men have their own sorts of smarts that Ivy finds it’s interesting to listen to.5- It’s hard to say who Ivy would rather hang out with, Firefly is annoying but fun to bother, but Freeze is interesting yet he’s kind of bad for her health.

“i don’t need this now.”

five word prompts

Screw GCPD, and screw Riddler for making Sphinx do this nonsense.

“Freeze might.”

The sidekick sits down on the air conditioning unit in front of Firefly, crossing his ankles and still managing to kick the metal with a clang every time he swung his legs.

“This is more than blackmail, it’s a database.” Clang. “You’ve been complaining about needing a fuel that’s difficult to procure and even more dangerous to make,” clang, “and the contacts included on here and their dirt” clang “sheets will prove extremely advantageous for you and Freeze, both to get his... things, and yours.”

The flashdrive is rather whimsical, but the data it holds is potentially life-ruining. Sphinx unhooks the skateboard usb and runs it over the metal a few times, clacks joining the chorus of other noises emanating from his general direction.

This is all very purposeful. He’d been silent, after all, until he addressed Firefly.

“Of course, if you don’t want it, I can keep it for myself.”

“lynns.”

disapproval fairly drips from each word. firefly-- in his hideout--with that jetpack, which is probably more radioactive than anything in this warehouse combined.

...probably not. after all, since he’s stuck in the past, it might make do to make some powerful (if slightly unhinged) allies.

“care to explain your presence in a highly volatile environment?”

he misses woof’s slobbery optimism already.
