For @laquilasse and @preciousthingsareprecious who were trying to cheer me up all of last night. Sorry it’s not exactly the fluff I promised. Also, thank you @jerseydevious. You’re the reason this prompt got finished, even though you’re also the one who prompted it?
P.S. This is almost 2k, and it keeps happening. Sorry for taking so long with these prompts and thanks for the patience!
Dick wakes up slowly. Everything’s
hazy at the very edges when he opens his eyes, still tinged with the softness
of sleep. There are fingers running through his hair, and his head is in
someone’s lap. There’s sunlight filtering through the curtains of the living
room, and he’s asleep on the couch, he realizes. The TV plays soft in the
background.
It’s—it’s something straight out of
his first year at the manor, even though it’s been around fifteen years since
then.
“Bruce?” he whispers. “Wha—”
But Bruce hushes him. “Go back to
sleep, Dick,” he says, his voice unusually gentle. “I’ll be here when you wake
up.”
Dick doesn’t know why he’s on the
couch in the living room, or why his head’s in Bruce’s lap, but he thinks that
the why doesn’t really matter right now. He’s content, and that’s enough. He
goes back to sleep.
Bamboos are the fastest-growing plants on earth. Trees such as oak or apple can take up to 120 years to reach maturity. Most bamboo trees take 5 to 7 years to reach maturity. Yet apple trees bloom every year. Bamboo blooms once every 60 to 130 years!
And, even more mysteriously, all the bamboo of that species bloom at the same time. All over the world, from Japan to France to the USA. And records from China dating to 919 CE tell us this has been happening for a long, long time. It is as if the plants carry an an internal clock ticking away until the preset alarm goes off simultaneously. This mass flowering phenomenon is called “gregarious flowering.” And botanists are still stumped as to why, exactly, bamboo does this –although of course there are plenty of hypotheses!
The Justice League meeting was just about coming to a close.
They had discussed everything that was actually important and were now getting
to the more insignificant domestic disputes – such as who it was who ate the
leftovers Barry had been keeping in the fridge.
“I know it was
you!” he yelled across the table at Green Arrow.
“For the last time, it wasn’t me!” Oliver yelled back.
Everyone else sitting at the table looked like they would
rather be anywhere but there. Clark’s hands were inching towards his phone,
Diana was carving something into the table with a knife, Batman was just about
ready to take off his cowl just so that he could put his head in his hands, so
on.
for the next Reboot That Makes Men Angry I’d like to submit for your consideration Lupita Nyong’o as Indiana Jones
and she steals artifacts from museums and returns them to their rightful cultures
Oh my god, imagine the Indiana Jones temple-robbing scenes in reverse! She walks through the Scorpion pit, she ducks under the swinging axe, she jumps the spike trap… She pulls the idol from her bag and gently places it back on the altar. Then she walks out without looking back while all around her, the temple settles back down into tranquility.
The beginning of the movie would start with a heist to rob the museum which would make it a double adventure heist movie.
Whenever Cass and Tim go out on patrol together, Tim tries to bluff whatever criminal they end up fighting into thinking that Cass has some random superpower. Currently, the Gotham underworld is convinced she’s a vampire who can turn into a shadow, paralyze you with a glance, sense your heartbeat from 200 yards, smell fear, and control animals with her mind.
