Sooooo we just going to ignore that JJ almost got snatched by the energy particles in the ionosphere?! Great 👍🏾cool 😂 also if y’all are noticing that they’re making hints about OG Jen aka China coming back for the finale. Let me point some out for you
This comic book strip was shown at the beginning of last night’s episode and instead of putting JJ they put OG Jen aka China
In another scene from last night JJ is up in the ionosphere and the energy particles in the ionosphere tried to grab her.
China is listed in the credits for the series finale
Nostalgia Ultra: Jenn X Khalil/Strawberry Swing (Fanfic part 3)
"When we were kids, we hand-painted strawberries on a swing . Every moment was so precious then, I'm still kicking it, I'm daydreaming on a strawberry swing."
Over the next year, Philky and I got really close. I learned he was a former ASA member that fell on hard times and that clearly had a drinking problem. Painkiller and I got more accustomed to each other. He was still an asshole but a hell of a lot more tolerable. Philky and I struck a deal that if I broke into this abandoned ASA bunker that he would help me get a handle on PainKiller.We ended up using the money to create our lab and bar. In addition to Philky I also met Donald and Priscilia. Donald who at the time was in a similar state that I had met Philky in, was an ex-military guy with a lot of medical knowledge. He has a duality about himself too. I think that's how we bonded so quickly. He's always a voice of reason amongst the chaos and good at keeping us all in line.
Priscilla is originally from New Orleans. She is a firecracker with southern charm. She moved to Gothan for few years and use to strip. While in Gotham she got into it with people you don't want problems with so she like me decided it was time to find a new place. She came into the bar one day looking for a bartending job. She's been here ever since. She's also a meta with the power of telepathy, shapeshifting and she's even skilled in Martial arts. Needless to say, she's been an asset since she walked in those doors 6 months ago.
"Hey Khalil, you good?" Priscilla snapped her fingers in front of my face at the bar. I snap myself back into the present. "Painkiller" I shrug. "He giving you trouble again? You know I can go in there and whoop his ass" she suggested. She was always volunteering to fight with PainKiller. To be honest I think both of them enjoyed the fights. "Nah, you're good, he says hello though" I replied. "I bet he had more to say than that" she laughed. Since Priscilia is telepathic she can get into the head of just about anybody. She calls it a blessing and a curse because sometimes she can control it, sometimes she can't. Sometimes she hears multiple conversations at once, which can be overwhelming for her. That's where Philky comes in. He's helped her control things a bit better. I think collectively we're all just works in progress here in Akashic Valley.
We were closed up for the night so I headed to my room. I was having one of those nights again. Not bad just reminiscing. I hadn't sketched in a while so I dusted off my sketchbook and pencils and got to work. There was a sketch I was working on I hadn't finished yet. A little time had passed and there was a knock on the door.
I looked up to see Priscilia standing there. " You drawing Jenn?" she teased. Priscilla was like a big sister in a lot of ways. " How'd you know?" I asked. "Khalil I can read minds...." she laughed.
"Aye stop doing that " I threw a pillow at her. " This time it was on accident, I swear" she raised her hands. "Pain Killer is gonna catch you off guard one of these days" I joked."Mane, PK don't want none of this" she started punching the air. Pris had been through a lot too but she was always making things lighter for everyone around her. "Speaking of reading minds, you wanna know what she's thinking right now?" She folded her arms raising a brow. "You can do that?" I was curious. I didn't want to invade Jennifer's privacy but I did want to know.
"I told you Philkys been helping me" she reminded me. She started to concentrate. When she's tapping in so to speak she looks like she's in a trance. Her eyes gloss over and turn a glowing white."She's on a roof...smoking weed". I chuckled a bit. "Sounds like Jenn". " Someone just joined her on the roof, looks like a guy". "Probably TC" I replied."No, actually this guy looks a lot like you....". She was confused at first but she tried to concentrate more.
"This is almost uncanny, this guy looks more like you than PK does". I started to get concerned."What?"
"Philky taught me how to hop to another person's consciousness outside of my original target....let me hop on to this guy. I don't trust this". She tapped over into the guy's brain. Her eyes widened. "What! What do you see Pris?!" I inquired. " This guy does not have good intentions at all. It's a shapeshifter. I think Jennifer is in trouble."What is he thinking Pris?" Her eyes reverted back and she looked me directly in the eyes. "Nothing good, I think he's going to kidnap her". I felt like time stopped for a moment. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Who would want to kidnap Jen?
I grab my phone and call TC. "Hey Khalil? Are you alright? It's kinda late" he answered.
"Yeah, I know.I think something bad is about to happen to Jenn. I need you or Anissa to go over to the house like now." My anxiety was high.I knew time was of the essence.
"How do you know? What's going on?" TC sounded like he was half awake so this call and request was coming out of left field.
"There's a guy who looks like me on the roof with Jennifer right now. It's a shapeshifter and we think he's going to try to harm Jenn, you have to go now." I pleaded.
I look over a Priscilla she's back in the trance. That was until she started shaking. I rushed off the phone with TC as he agreed to go to the house. "Pris!" I yelled out running over to her convulsing body. Just then Donald and Philky ran in. "What's going on? Philky ran over to aid Priscilia. "Let's get her to the lab".
TC attempts to call Jenn but there's no answer. He contacts Anissa and she tells him she's on the way there too. TC gets to the house first but Jenn was already gone. There didn't seem to be any signs of struggle but there was a letter on her vanity.
It read:
" Hey J,
I know it's been a while. I've been trying to stay out the way. Forgive me if this is too much. I could understand if you still want nothing to do with me but I needed to get his off my chest. You've been a light in my life even when everyone else gave up on me.
I cherish the memory of the strawberry swing, where we first met. The moment I saw you, I knew you were going to be an important part of my life.
When I look at you, I just want to protect you even though I know you don't need my protection.
Over the past year, I've made some friends and they have helped with my control of PainKiller. The good news is I don't have the kill order anymore. I really want to see you. If you are okay with it please meet me on the roof for old times sake Saturday night.
All my love,
Khalil
Anissa comes in. "What's going on? Where's Jenn?" she asked."That's what I'm trying to figure out, look at this." TC hands Anissa the letter. She reads it. "Khalil?" "Yes and No, so from what Khalil told me there's a shapeshifter impersonating him and I think it got to Jenn."

Black Lightning(fanfic) The Book of Fortitude: Chapter one:Brandon’s Duplicity
Author’s note: So I wrote some of this before the season premiered so I changed some things to adjust to the more current storylines. I’m not a professional writer so don’t be too hard on me.I’ve never posted any writing here. I wish there was more fanfic dedicated to this show soooo I figured I’d take a stab at it.Comments, reblogs and likes are greatly appreciated. Let me know what you guys think and if I should continue! :)
Jennifer seems to have taken solace at Brandon’s apartment. She liked she could “be herself” around him.“You got anymore ice cream?”Jennifer asked while rummaging through Brandon’s freezer.“Uh, yeah it should be some behind the waffles”he replied heading over to the couch. Jennifer grabs a small pint of vanilla ice cream and a spoon then joins Brandon on the couch.
”You know you’re gonna turn into a pint of ice cream soon.”he chuckled.Jennifer smiles as she eats a mouthful of ice cream.“Meh, shape shifting doesn’t sound so bad” she slyly replied.“Like you need another power” Brandon chuckled. Jennifer looks over to Brandon with a smirk on her face. She squints her eyes and raises her finger, zapping him playfully.Some of his hair strands stand up “Ayee!” Brandon reacts.”Static hair is a good look on you” Jennifer laughs.
Brandon was really enjoying all the time he’s been able to spend with Jennifer lately. He liked that he had someone dealing with the same things.
Brandon smiled “Is that right?”.
The way Brandon looked at her sometimes she felt something she hadn’t felt in awhile.The occupation hadn’t been fun for anyone and the way things have been at home she couldn’t have felt more alone.It also didn’t help that he was charming to a fault.
“Sorry, impulse” Jennifer shrugged.”You always got jokes” he shook his head. “Who me?”Jennifer touches her chest as if she’s been insulted. “Yeah! you!” Brandon snickers.Jennifer continues to feel her chest, patting her neck area. The energy shifted as Jennifer began to panic.“Oh my gosh!” Jennifer stood up distraught.Brandon observes her as he tries to figure out what just happened.“Jenn, what’s wrong?!” Brandon asked with a concerned tone.“My necklace!...My necklace!” She yelled.Jennifer continues grabbing her chest worried she may have lost the heart necklace Khalil gave to her. Brandon was still very confused standing up with her “What necklace?” he asked. Jennifer was so stressed she ignored his question.“I have to find it! She says as she drops down on the floor looking for the golden heart.Her heart rate increases as she grows more frantic. “Jenn, Jenn!” Brandon tries to get her attention but his calls out to her become distorted. Her eye color transitions to a bright glow.“Jenn! Jenn! Calm down!” Brandon says as he squats down to her level.Jennifer’s hands start to the generate electricity as her emotions take over.Brandon looks around and notices the golden heart necklace behind her on the floor.He reaches down to grab it. “Is this it?” he dangles the necklace in front of her.
Jennifer looks up at Brandon with tears in her eyes. She shifts off her knees to sitting on the floor with her knees up.He looks in her eyes and sees how upset she is.She was practically a big glowing ball at this point. He scoots over to comfort her.He grabs her and gives her a hug while absorbing the energy surrounding her.Jennifer hated showing her vulnerabilities but as much as she’s been through it gets hard to hide. “I’m sorry, I’ve been doing so much better with controlling that”. “Hey, look, it’s okay, I can handle it.” Brandon said reassuring her. “What’s the story with this necklace?”. Memories started to flood back to Jennifer’s mind of Khalil giving her back the necklace while they were on the run. She looks up trying to hold back tears. “It’s the last thing he gave me”. She tapped her foot to distract herself from her impending feelings. “The last thing who gave you?” Brandon questioned.
He had never seen Jennifer so emotional. For the most part she’s always been pretty guarded, with a lot of their conversations remaining surface level.He thought she looked beautiful finally expressing something….. feelings. Part of him felt like this was a way to get closer to her. He felt like maybe she would trust him more now, like he had reached some new level of intimacy. “Khalil” her voice cracked. “It makes me feel like I have a part of him with me”. Brandon took in her response and nodded while sliding his tongue across his front teeth, thinking of what to say.He kind of felt a way because he knew dead or not that this Khalil guy had a strong hold over her heart.How do you compete with a dead person? He thought. He brushed past those feelings and redirected them to what he knew she needed to hear.
“Trust me, I know what it’s like to lose someone close, especially when that person was lost due to the evils of someone else... just remember that... necklace or not, they are still with you. That kind of love never dies”he reassures her. That last part triggered him some, as if he just reminded himself that she might be stuck on this guy forever. “ I know I gave you a hard time when I met you and I’m sorry about that--She’s interrupted. “Jenn, it’s cool , it’s all water under the--He is interrupted. “No, what I’m trying to say is between my mom , dad, my sister, this occupation and dealing with Khalil’s death I haven’t been able to breath.Being here with you is like a breath of fresh air.” “Well I do have a lot of plants in here” Brandon jokes. “See, that’s what I mean, it’s nice to laugh. I haven’t been able to do that in a really long time.” There was something magnetic happening.Neither of them could really explain it.Brandon takes her hand. “I know we haven’t known each other for a long time but just know, I got you.” Her eyes were so warm and brown as he gazed at her.They both felt the inevitable about to happen. Brandon leans into her and cups her face with his hand, kissing her slowly.
A loud boom erupts suddenly taking them both by surprise.Then another from the apartment above them. “What was that?!”....
TO BE CONTINUED....................
Should Jen trust Brandon? What the hell was that noise upstairs? Is all hope lost for Kennifer? Sorry no smut just yet lol Dun dun dun.....
