Summary: Danny has always had more internet access than a child really should have had. He tended to spend that time on game forums and different websites dedicated to space. Everyone once in a while he'd venture onto one about heroes and villains. That's how he met Tim Drake-Wayne or BatShadow as was his username back then.
Danny just wanted to see uncommon pictures of Superman. It really shouldn't have been this hard. He's an alien, there should be a lot of pictures of him. Frustrated with his lack of results he resorts to looking for the pictures through unpopular social media websites that should have new pictures. His first look didn't meet his goal, and before he could even think of trying again he was distracted by a post. It was a picture of a figure swinging between skyscrapers, backlit by neon light all against a smog filled sky. It was stunning and made all the more captivating by the identity of the subject in the photo. A picture of Batman, The Batman, taken in a way that you couldn't deny it was him. That was impressive on its own, but the quality is what made it shine. Danny had to see if the account had more pictures of Batman, or even other heroes. Looking at the blog, hoping it wasn't a deactivated user, he finds the posts of BatShadow.Ā
The blog is a gold mine of pictures of Batman and Robin with some villains the duo we're fighting. All with stunning quality, with each subject undeniable as who they were but still giving a sense of privacy. Sadly, Danny couldn't find any other heroes pictured, but Danny could live with that. Batman was his third favorite hero, he blames Sam and all her knowledge on the edgy and obscure. She would be ecstatic about these photos, too bad he wasn't going to tell her. He was being petty. Sam should have known better than to say he couldn't keep a secret, so this is his secret now! Pettiness aside, Danny was going to message BatShadow to see if they had pictures of other heroes they hadn't posted.
Messages begins with BatShadow

(04-17-20xx)
Hey, sorry to bother ya
I just saw your posts and was wondering if you have any pics of superman
BatShadow:
I don't know. I would have to look. I don't usually go to an area with him in it much, so no promises.
ConstellationCruiser:Ā
Thanks!! And that's fine really, it's just that your pics are amazing
BatShadow:
Thanks! Sorry, I have nothing for Supes.
ConstellationCruiser:
Damn
It's fineĀ
I wasn't really expecting much
I'm just surprised at the quality and quantity ya got there
BatShadow:Ā
It's super hard to get them without being caught but so worth it!
Danny continued talking to BatShadow about pictures and superheroes. Eventually switching to personal interest. Danny learns that BatShadow skateboards and in turn he tells them all about the stars. By the end of their conversation it was well into the night, Jazz wasn't going to be pleased. It was worth it though.
ā-----
Danny ended up messaging again the next day, and the day after that. The other user was interesting and he was just so broad. Especially during these long summer days where Sam was off at some gala trip and Tucker was on vacation with his family. His parents being busy in the Lab at all hours and Jazz working a summer job didn't help. Even with Jazz trying to get him out of the house but it never really was worth it. Not with Dash and his gaggle out. Not without his friends there.
It's not like anyone besides Jazz would care about what he was doing online. Their parents were too caught up in drawing out plans and blueprints for a ghost portal or something. He doesn't care, it's more of the same for him. Don't get him wrong, he loved his parents and they loved him. They just pay more attention to their inventions, and this one happens to be one Danny can't help out with.
He's getting distracted. Danny was supposed to be cleaning the lab, not thinking of long gone days. It was taking way longer than he thought it would. His parents really aren't as careful with their samples as they really should be. After cleaning spilled ectoplasm from the vent grates he will finally be done, then he can get on the computer and add BatShadow on Steam. They were going to play Portal 2 together later.
ā----
Tim didn't think he would still be talking to ConstellationCruiser. It was unexpected, but not unwelcome. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, (if there was anyone to talk to in the first place), but he was lonely. So, sue him if he got attached to the other kid with too much free time on their hands. They may not have told each other their ages but it wasn't hard to figure out, they talked too similar.
It was nice to really connect with someone his age. ConstellationCruiser was smart like him, just in different areas. He had learned more about the stars and space travel in the last handful of months than he ever had in his 12 years of life. He knows he wasn't any better, going on about hacking and maybe the new murder mystery that came out. It was fun, learning about the other's interests and different things than what's normal for them.Ā
ConstellationCruiser's parents seem to have some type of lab in the basement of their house, which was cool in concept but concerning in practice. There have been times where they had to stop in the middle of a game they were playing together to check on an explosion they heard. It happened more than Tim was comfortable with but there's nothing he can really do about it. It's not like he was anyone better about certain aspects of his life either. He avoided the topic of food as much as possible, though it seems ConstellationCruiser is doing the same thing with the topic.
Tim just hopes the other won't worry over him not responding the next couple of days. He probably should warn them but this is time sensitive. Batman needs a Robin. The man is running himself into the ground. His new found grief choking him and by extension Gotham. He has to convince Nightwing to come back, no matter what it takes.

Summary: When Luke was told about the perfect person to join his after-school jam sessions, he'd thought a lot about who it could be - most of his guesses at least being in the fifth grade. An elementary school kid with anxiety, an attitude problem, and a drum kit? Yeah, he hadn't imagined that.

Tim, off panel: Hey Cassie. Cassie: *yawn* Hey Tim, hey Kon. Kon: Hey Cassie.

Cassie: Hair coming in? Kon: Yeah. Cassie: Huh. Iāve always wondered how that feels. Kon: The undercut? Cassie: Yeah.
Panel 3: Cassie continues touching the back of Konās head, curious. In the background, Bart speeds in with armfuls of bags in street wear.
Cassie: Ooo, stubbly. Kon: You wanna try? Bart: HEY GUYS SUP Cassie: Hey Bart. Kon: Hey Bart.
Panel 4: Cassie sits by the table with Kon. Kon turns towards Bart, whoās simultaneously in the kitchen putting away his purchases and drinking water, and in the foreground doing a thumbs up holding a pillow, having changed into a sweatshirt.
Cassie: Konās fixing his undercut. Kon: And Cassieās maybe getting one. Bart: Yeah youād look great! Kon: Yeah she would. Cassie: Thanks.
Comic Page 2
Panel 1: A close up on the upper half of Bartās face. He looks wary.
Cassie, off panel: You wanna get one too? Bart: I dunno, are you guys gonna make fun of my hair again?
Panel 2: Bart looks up at Tim, whoās hanging upside down from the ceiling and holding a phone.
Tim: In fairness, half bald would be an improvement from completely bald, kinda. Bart: Hey Tim. Tim: Hey Bart.
Panel 3: Kon turns towards Tim, who continues to hang upside down whilst smiling smugly. Cassie gestures at the back of her head, turned to Bart.
Kon: āKindaā? Tim: Mm. Kon: Wow. Cassie: Isnāt the suit uncomfortable with the hair? Bart: In hindsight yeah but like, do I have the face for an undercut?
Panel 4: Cassie thinks thoughtfully. Bart leans his cheek against Konās shoulder. Kon shifts slightly to make space for Tim.
Cassie: Has there ever been a ābadā undercut? Bart: Worst case you could do wigs again. Cassie: Ugh. Tim, off panel: Batwoman says undercuts are better with suits like hers. Kon: Batwoman has an undercut?
Comic Page 3
Panel 1: Cassie and Bart look up at Tim. Kon looks at them, curious; Tim also looks at them, but disgruntled instead.
Cassie: Iāll get one if Bart gets one. Bart: Iāll get one if Time gets one. Tim: Why am I involved.
Panel 2: Cassie and Kon huddle around Bart, gesturing towards him. The trio do their best at making the most angelic expression they can muster. Tim gives them a deadpan stare.
Cassie: Think about Bart! Bart: What about Bart! Kon: For Bart, Tim!
Panel 3: Tim continues to give them a deadpan stare.
Panel 4: The deadpan stare continues. The other three cheer.
Tim: ⦠sure? Cassie, Bart, and Kon: YEAH!
Illustration
Kon sits behind Tim, inspecting the back of Timās head closely, holding an electric hair clipper; Timās head is bowed slightly, looking down at Bart whose head is laid on his lap; Cassie lays arms crossed on Bartās stomach. The atmosphere is easy and comfortable. They all have undercuts.

I want a story where Captain Marvel and Young Justice fail are large yet simple mission that shouldn't have been hard but there were so many little things that played in and it didn't work, and everyone is understandably upset about it. But because of this they all gets chewed out by the JL or something and Captain Marvel just takes it, he won't talk back or fight it or anything when they yell at him because he wants them to get it out of their system.
BUT THE MOMENT THEY YELL AT THE KIDS. Captain Marvel is instead in the JL's face for yelling at them. He went through so much at a young age because of shitty adults and these kids who were trying their best out there deserve so much better then to be yelled at and reminded of their failure.
No one had ever seen Marvel's emotions flip on a dime like that, hell they've probably never seen him mad ever. So the league was notably taken aback by this. If the person Captain is yelling at decided to yell again Marvel would tell them to calm down and think about their options and also say they should have this conversation another day if they didn't want to talk like civilized people and just wanted to scream like maniacs.
I would write this myself but I don't know how to write the Justice lLague or Young Justice correctly so
It made you a stranger and filled you with anger
Now I'm third in the lineup between the Lord and you savior
Part 1|
My dearests my darlings my beloveds my children my sweetheart my loves my world my blorbo my favorites-
god, i'm sad.
