Ghost Helpline part 8
All in all Uncle Dans lecture had been rather short and to the point. There had been no yelling, no anger, no demeaning or things thrown. While there had been a scowl at hearing the term Uncle he took Konstelacios explanation in stride. Dan sighed a lot but he wasn’t angry.
So why did she feel so awful? Uncle Dan always had anger problems, but she trusted him ether way. How couldn’t she after surviving an entire war with him. She was use to anger, she could take anger. Not, not whatever this was.
Konstelacio felt pressure push down on her chest. She didn’t like this at all! Her head hurt, yelling would have been easier.
//“ Let me get this straight. You did a favor for the Justice League and for payment you asked for loose change?!!!!”//
She rubbed at her horns in a attempt to soothe herself. They didn’t know who she was, it’s not as if she had defamed the family in any way. It’s not as if she asked for money directly… then again maybe that would have been better. She may be a Masters but it’s not as if any of the money was hers. She frowned, was it because she didn’t assert herself for their house? Had she made them look poor?
The little demon hunched in on herself she hadn’t meant to do any of that at all. Thank god she didn’t mention the handkerchief.
At the thought of the article she pulled it out and looked at it along with the rest of her prizes. She smiled a tad lopsided, “Looks like I need a belt.” And she knew someone just tech savvy enough to make her one.

Dan was tired, but sated. Better than being soup in a thermos shaped cell. He missed war.
The fight for the throne hadn’t been as easily won as Danny’s family had assumed. Pariah, Dark had been gone for too long, the infinite realms cutting themselves into pieces. Distancing themselves, becoming stagnant, refusing to allow a ‘ghost’ of all beings rule them again. But Danny had grown to be more than that; a child of death herself, true balance, the great one. Dan snickered to himself, what a lame title.
Dan had demanded his place among the throngs of soldiers. He had earned his place as general. He killed and fought… and protected. Jazz was his sister again, his confidant (therapist). So when she pulled him a side one day to ask him a favor, Dan said yes.
Dan should have asked more questions.
Dan ended up keeping an eye on three forever children on a battle field. Which was easier said than done. They were reckless, suicidal shit heads with everything to prove. And they did; the witch boy, the host, the demon-ling. He hated to say it but the war might have not been won with out them. It hurt to think about.
It hurt to think about Vlad swooping in and giving them what Dan couldn’t. It hurt to see the host be a hero instead of a child. It hurt to see the demon sell her abilities for change. He huffed, flaming hair waving. At least the witch had the sense to run away from those that used him.
Dan sighed and signed and signed and signed papers. Fucking Aragon.

No one paid attention as Booster Gold hobbled threw the doors. Blue Beetle should be in soon. Some of the leaguers even rolled their eyes honestly Booster was such a douche.
They ignored him as he practically threw himself on the couch, holding his ice pack to his head. So the idiot had also managed to get himself injured. Huh figures.
“Hey! Nightwing!”
“Haha hey Booster! How was space?”
“Crazy! Hey what’s up with everyone?”
“It’s along story.”
“I got time.”
“Honestly Booster it’d probably be faster for me to give you a copy of the reports.”
“Ugh reading! Come onnnn.”
Nightwing figured he could humor the man for a few minutes, “Well long story short we meet a demon.”
“Mmmhhhmm”
“They seem to be helping us but we just want to get more info on her to be careful.”
“Wow a real demon. Was she hot?”
“She was like 13.”
Booster got quite in a way Nightwing wouldn’t recognize until later, “Oh word? What did she look like?”
“All the footage was corrupted but Robin managed to make us a decent sketch.”
Booster Gold got everyone’s attention when he almost face planted onto Dicks tablet, “Oh my god! Oh my god! Did she have metal legs?”
“You mean boots yeah she had metallic …”
“Oh my god! And stripes right!!!” Booster was practice on-top of Nightwing dopey smile on display.
Dick thought back to the mass of black cracks on the girls body, “Stripes?”
“Oh MY Ancients! It Konny!!! I’ve missed her so much!” Booster started to laugh before devolving into tears, “I hope she’s not working for CW anymore. Last time I heard she was on trial for some bogus shit. I hope she’s okay.”
Booster continued to cry as Kord came in glared daggers an Nightwing and took off with his husband.
Dick stared at the open door, “What just happened???” His eyes widened as he stood up ‘Konny’ he never told Booster her name.

Ghost Helpline part 7
“What exactly did she say?”
“I’m telling you bats she just went ‘Questions cost extra’ and then the two of them just disappeared into thin air!!” Arsenal couldn’t fucking believe this, they had been talking in circles for five minutes. The girl left Roy feeling off balance, she creeped him out. There he said it she creeped him the fuck out! A part of him was so unsettled by her all he wanted to do was shoot both those fuckers and be done with it. Then he pushed that unpleasantness down and looked again. All he saw was a tired tired kid. Had he ever been that tired as Speedy? Now he was pushing all those feelings down again because now he didn’t want to kill her or sympathize with her, he guessed some part of being a father had made him weak, now all he wanted were answers!!
Tim was begging to grow worried for Bruce Batman. It was clear to Tim that he was spiraling, understandably, all security forage in the watchtower had come up as static. Glitching widely, the best picture they could capture was of the floor covered in fire Konstelacios metallic boots in the corner. There were no leads; no ancient murals, crumbling statues or off handed anecdotes in a dead man’s journal. Nothing. And according to the team on dragon watch duty there were possibly even more threatening players involved. A group of people strong enough to take down a villain that thwaped Superman like a fly. It was unnerving for Tim, which only meant it must be driving Bruce Batman up a wall. Tim worried.

Konstelacio arrived at Masters Manor with her friend approximately 10 minutes later. A headache forming in between her ears and a sigh escaping her.
All of her brothers ran about packing their things, “See I told you she’d be back! She’s fine.” Konstelacio didn’t bother to check which one of them had spoken, it hardly mattered.
“I’m heading down to the lab, I need to use the portal.” No one answered as she took Aragons hand and descended the steps.
“Whelp, time to face the music buddy.” She pouted, listening to Uncle Dans lecture was going to be a pain.

Booster came back three days after the meeting, a whole day and a half before Captain Marvel, with a massive concussion .It was a mistake.

Writing Prompt
Elves don’t get headaches- but Elrond is half man so...
The elves in Rivendell walking on eggshells whenever Elrond complains that his head hurts.
Lindir babying Elrond whenever he has a bad headache. Cutting his food, organizing his paperwork, making sure everyone keeps quite, playing soothing songs Ect.
Elrond secretly loves it.
Them: but your eyelashes are big ?
Shazam, not even looking up: Exactly
Them: wait then…. !!!!!!
Marvel: I don’t understand how people get confused by someone’s gender presentation. Like, obviously if they have thick eyelashes they’re a woman, regardless of anything else.
JL member: Cap you realize you literally have the thickest eyelashes I have ever seen on a dude, right?
Marvel: … yeah and?
Bonus: some moments of Billy/Marvel/Shazam having eyelashes
Victorian Sensibility #2
Elrond doesn’t tell Lindir to change - why should he? This is fine, and ethier way Lindir should be able to wear whatever he wants.
Even if other elves are staring at Lindir the same way he is.
It made him feel red and ends with him glaring down any would be sutors- gods he was acting like a child. He knew that, he didn’t need Erestor to nod dissapovingly at him like that!
As soon as everyone was out of earshot Erestor glanced over at Elrond, “You know this really isn’t fair to Lindir.”
The bottom of his stomach dropped.
Okay but imagine Jed is trying to learn to read? Maybe even for Octavius because he doesn’t feel good enough but also….
Octavius: oh I didn’t know you ….
Jed: oh just learning actually after get a knack for all that texting lingo I figured I’d give it a try
*internal screams because of course he wouldn’t want a stupid cowboy who can’t even read when he’s a literal general*
Octavius: oh that’s wonderful
* legitimately proud and smitten with the idea arhat Jed is always trying new things and to improve*
Jed: yeah I just wish the letters would stop moving around the page
Octavius: …. What?

They really didn’t mean anything by it honestly Bards elves were just too sensitive!!!!
Verissa had been about town with Lindir when thier dear little nephew had run up to them crumbs splattered on his face hands wide for a hug. All the elves adored the children of Dale and Lindir was no acception.
“Verissa can’t I play with you today mommy and daddy are fighting again.”
“Of course you may,” Verissa cleaned his cheeks “ this is my friend Lindir.”
The rest of the afternoon was quite uneventful until dinner time approached the child, “Do I have to go home Verissa?”
“ You do. Look as much as your parents may fight they love you okay.”
“Really?”
“Of course, as constant as the stars above always know that you are loved....now go hone my poor brother must be worried sick! Shoo!”
“Bye Verissa! By mr elf!!!”
“Well now that the kids gone.... Lindir.”
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
“Awww fuck.”
Dear Tumblr : How many plushies is too many?
My little brother (13) loves plushies. At first it was endearing but now he practically has an entire shelf and closet full of them!!!! They are everywhere (multiple rooms including mine, the kitchen and on one occasion the bathroom).
At what point is it okay to get concerned? Because I think I’m already there.
