open rp } { dc/marvel smash









Free for all for superhero based fandom smashing. Make a top level with your hero of choice and someone else will smash into it. I figured this would be easy and fun to do until we figure out actual plot and then we can do that.

For now, shenanignans!

[He shifts awkwardly for a moment before nodding.]

Right. That makes sense. Sorry.

[He's not going to put him in an awkward position. Especially when Bruce doesn't know he's the Flash.

Yet.]


So ... what brings you to Central City?

[Matt tips his head to one side as she starts her answer, seemingly attentive, more than, using his senses to look for the lie. he finds none; she honestly believes what she's saying is true. the possibility made probably reality makes him all at once a little sick to his stomach for any number of reasons]

Would you believe me if I said I believe you?

[personal profile] but_fearhimself 2016-03-27 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
It's certainly more plausible.

[seriously. if mind control were actually a thing, he'd be trying to figure it out right now]

[and on the heels of Laurel:]

Yeah, I don't think you really understand how my boss works. [he pauses] I'm mean, sure, I'd love to go back to my hotel room and order a pizza and see what B-movie HBO's showing tonight, but I'm pretty sure when I got home I'd probably get thrown off the top of Wayne Tower or something.

[no, Bruce wouldn't really do that. he'd just lineface at him. and never trust him with anything again. and they already have issues, without him not actually doing his job]
brokeharlem: (would you turn your back on me?)

[personal profile] brokeharlem 2016-03-27 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[and in time with his apology:] Sorry. [it's not that he doesn't appreciate the offer, it's just that he doesn't want to hurt anyone. or get hurt]

[still, though, against his better judgement in the case of the latter, he eases slowly back into his seat, finally. it probably helps (or doesn't) that he can't really go anywhere, even if he wanted to, with Barry still blocking the way. at least this way, he can curl back up around his tea]


I'm kind of just passing through?

[he's heading west, to Texas, then south, through Mexico. he won't go back to Brazil, that's too predictable, but he's decided he likes south. less a chance of him freezing to death, metaphorically speaking since he can't die, when he wakes up after an episode, if and when he has one]

[Her eyebrows go up a bit at that because that might be way too easy.]

I'd ask what the catch is.
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-03-28 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. And I'm sure the guys who invaded Manhattan a couple years back were just really dedicated LARPers.

[Time to expand your mind, Dr. Crane.]
supertardiness: (Default)

[personal profile] supertardiness 2016-03-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Right.

[Geez, Barry, way to get over excited. Though it would be kind of nice to have another older superhero around to learn from. One that is probably unlikely to stab him in the back.

Or shoot an arrow in it, in the case of Oliver. Though that was under the guise of "training."]


Right, you're right. That was weird. I just ... can't help thinking the Flash might like the chance to talk to you.
aworldonfire: (who can say what tomorrow brings?)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-03-29 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
No catch. [a beat] Half the city was destroyed when aliens rained from the sky. A supposed god, a guy who's been legally dead for more than half a century, a -- [whatever the hell the Hulk is] -- and Tony Stark stopped it.

[he shrugs] More things in heaven and Earth, right?

[if he wasn't willing to go with mind control, just because he knows she's not lying, he'd be selling himself on it, now. shit happens in New York. why not mind control, too?]
brokeharlem: (waiting for the downfall)

[personal profile] brokeharlem 2016-03-29 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
The Flash. [a beat] That's the, uh -- [vigilante? no. Mask? no. superhero? no. he's trying to find a word that's neither offensive nor ridiculous and coming up blank, and so he lets it go. he figures Barry can fill in the blank] -- running around here, right?
wingdinging: (pic#9720531)

[personal profile] wingdinging 2016-03-29 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
No, but it is his bad guy. [a beat] Though, I'm just gonna go ahead and say one vote for her plan. [rather than keep running his mouth, because that's working just as well for him as it would with Bruce]
but_fearhimself: (pic#10029780)

[personal profile] but_fearhimself 2016-03-31 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[he flashes her a tight, humorless smile]

There's a distinct difference between aliens and mind control, Miss Jones. [namely, one of these things does not exist]
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-04-10 03:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well. That's ... more open minded than most of the people she'd met with. She'll take that as a win.]

The problem is, I don't have proof.
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-04-10 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jessica is not impressed.]

Oh, there is. But as far as realms of disbelief go, they're not all that far apart either.
aworldonfire: (i need to question what i need)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-04-10 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)
We can work on that.

[he pauses, reaching into one of his desk drawers] Why don't we start at the beginning? How you got involved. How Miss Shlottman did, in the first place. That kind of thing. [anything he can use, himself, or throw at Brett]

And uh -- do you mind if I record this? [he holds up the voice recorder he fished out of his desk. it'll be easier than him trying to type it all out, as she talks]
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-04-10 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[She pauses for a moment, before glancing back over her shoulder. She doesn't want this to go into evidence, to turn herself into a victim in the eyes of everyone, but she has to start somewhere.]

This is privileged, right? Client confidentiality? Some of this stuff I'm not gonna testify to in court.
aworldonfire: (foggy | we can hear above the noise)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-04-10 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[he nods, setting the recorder on the desk without turning it on. he won't touch it until she gives him the go ahead]

No one hears this but me and my partner.

[personal profile] wingdinging 2016-04-10 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[and Dick glances between Laurel, Oliver and back again]

Sorry -- Speedy?

[he assumes that she's another vigilante, but. yeah, he has no idea who that is, beyond that, thanks]
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-04-10 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She takes a deep breath, before nodding and settling back in the seat. This was going to be a really long conversation, and she doesn't trust Hogarth with this information, but they at least seem a little more trustworthy.

Maybe it's the fact that Matt believed her without needing her to defend it. So once he starts recording:]


First thing you should know about me is that I'm gifted to. Not with mind control, but ... I'm a lot stronger than I look. Have been since I was a teenager, and the story of that is not really something I want to get into, but it's important, because it's why Kilgrave was interested in me in the first place.
aworldonfire: (a fire inside these bones)

[personal profile] aworldonfire 2016-04-10 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[that's worrying, all things considered. for not the first time, he's grateful that he's not on many people's radars, as far as what he can do goes]

I take it he has some kind of thing for the gifted?
neverthehero: (Default)

[personal profile] neverthehero 2016-04-10 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Not exactly. He has a thing for me. But that's one of the first things that caught his interest.

[She should just ... tell the story.]

About two years ago, I was trying to help a guy who was getting mugged. Kilgrave happened to come upon me in the middle of the fight and he was ... suitably impressed. I didn't think anything of it at the time, just some guy talking to me, but then I started answering questions I didn't want to answer. Telling him things I didn't want to tell him. And when he asked me to have dinner with him, I went, despite the fact I didn't want to go.

After that, I basically disappeared from my friends' lives for a year while Kilgrave had me under his control.
supertardiness: (Default)

[personal profile] supertardiness 2016-04-10 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods his agreement.]

Yeah. I mean, from what I've seen he's kinda new at the whole superhero thing. And it was a freak accident that made him what he is, so ...

[Stuff they have in common.]
