Your OCs' loved ones have been captured and held for ransom! How do your OCs break them out? Is it an easy escape, or a bloodbath?
Oooooh good one!! Thank you!
Rae: I wouldn't call it a bloodbath, but she's not afraid of a fight if it comes down to it. She'll probably try for diplomacy first, but if things start getting violent she won't hesitate to reciprocate
Robin: Fun fact, she's done this before. Several times. Each time, it's been a quieter breakout, where she prefers getting in and out quickly instead of turning it into an outright bloodbath
Madison: With luck, they'll never even know she was there at all. She'll sneak in with her camouflage up, break her loved one out, and get out. Much like Rae, she's not afraid of a fight if it comes up, but it's easier just to keep things clean
Ophelia: She's coming in guns-blazing for sure, either on her own or with a few allies to back her up. She'll aim for nonlethal battles, preferring to knock out or restrain her adversaries instead of outright killing them, but if it's a choice between their lives or her loved ones', she'll do anything to keep her loved ones safe
Jasper: Oh man, they honestly wouldn't even know where to start. I think they'd try to investigate on their own just to see what they're dealing with, but would end up mostly passing it off to either the witches or the police depending on what they're looking at.
Katherine: Similar story to Jasper - she'd do what she could, but isn't exactly versed in this sort of thing. Most likely, she'd try to use magic to neutralize the threat, preferably in a less-violent way (like putting them to sleep or magically unlocking the chains and doors in her way, that sort of thing)
Kestrel: Similar to Madison, would prefer a quieter in-and-out, or at least a quiet "in". They'd use their shapeshifting to get in undetected, and they figure breaking out will be easier than breaking in.
Quinn: Oh she's coming in guns-blazing. She's not without strategy, sure, she's not looking to get herself killed, but she's not afraid of a little violence if it means getting her loved ones out of there
Eris: Blood. Bath. C'mon, we all know Eris, there's a very short list of people they'd expend the energy to rescue but damn if anything's going to stand in the way of that rescue. Their form of rescue is probably bloodier than the capture itself.
Nikoletta: Three well-placed shadow jumps: one to get in, one to get whatever she needs to unlock or break the restraints her loved ones are in, and one to get out (if it's really dire, she'll attempt another full push into the shadow realm like she did with Starro, otherwise this third jump is more to cause a distraction so they can escape the organic way.

YJ, BTAS Harley Quinn  Again with ex-spouse hero but this time they hear song that was on their wedding so Riddler proposes a dance. While dancing Hero admits that they kinda miss it and so when he goes for the kiss they don't stop him.
Two slow dancers
Edward Nygma X Hero Reader
Hmmm, if I were allowed to assign a song-- I, a basic bitch at heart, will be playing "Come what may" from Moulin Rouge. What song will y'all be dancing to?
💚 Young Justice
It took him all his being to hold his hand out once he heard the familiar notes playing. To be frank, he's been wanting to have an excuse to dance with you this whole evening at this party, he doesn't find any harm in it since you're not parading around as your respective rogue and hero jobs... It just so happens that your the song of your first wedding dance played, when he noticed your face softening with a certain nostalgia and he just happens to be there, the man you had to divorce because of your conflicting careers.
"May I?" He suddenly spoke beside you. Have you any idea how hard it was to maintain his composure and make sure his voice doesn't crack?
Well you do, as you find yourself smiling. You take his hand and allowed him to lead you to the dancefloor. He initiates to lead the waltz, and he moves with a certain fluidity in him. Back then, at your first dance he was nervous. His hands were clammy against yours and he kept apologizing for it, he stepped on your foot twice... He certainly improved. With the wedding song at the background, he couldn't help but to string you along memory lane by reenacting your first dance.
Edward looked down to see you leaning your head against his chest. Could you hear his heart too, he wonders. He knows he can hear it, pounding against his ear.
"I missed this. I missed you..."
... there comes the butterflies. Didn't thought he'd feel them again.
His hand finds its way on jaw, his thumb running over your cheek. Out of habit, you leaned forward to meet his lips in the middle. He wasn't sure that you'd reciprocate, he thought you'd glance away and he thought he'd ruin things again. He smiles on your lips, relieved that you still feel the same.
💚 Batman the animated series
Thinks he's smooth, confident that it was a mere coincidence that your song played, unaware that you saw him when he bribed the musician to play a certain title next. You can smile fondly or roll your eyes at his sappiness. He didn't need to bribe them to play your song, you would've danced with him either way.
And when he inevitably asked for your hand, you immediately accepted. He takes you in a waltz position, with him leading and wouldn't ya know it, started the choreography with the one from your first dance.
"Really?" You raised a brow when he dips your form.
"I don't know what you're talking about, my dear." He lifts you up again to twirl you, before his hands repositioned at the small of your back and you were once again chest-to-chest.
This was pleasant. You missed this...
Your face that was soft with admiration flushes and drains. Your movements grew stiff and Edward immediately took notice. Instead of taking you through the choreography of your dance, he opts to just sway you from side to side.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"I... I don't know..."
"Would you like to step off the dancefloor?"
"No!" You cleared your throat sheepishly, not really intending to be that loud with your word. "No... It's just that... How I miss this so much." And how I regret divorcing you. "I... I don't know what your intention is with this dance, whether you're just doing this for old times' sake or out of just... Entertainment... To me... It's a realization that... That I..."
He knows what you're referring to. You have a way with words that made him fall for you, but you didn't need them to send a message across. And he'd like to let you know what's his response.
He gently pinched your chin and tilted it to meet with his. Your message was the same as his and you happily return his gesture.
💚 Harley Quinn
The only reason why he lead you to the dancefloor, was to avoid the discomfort you were feeling. Being a hero in near a crowd of villains isn't really an ideal thing, so your ex husband had opted to whisk you away from the oncoming whatever the fuck-- brawl, gun fight, shanking, fear toxins, laughing gas, you never know. You've made quite the enemy out of his friends.
But well... Fate has a way of making two souls shitty, such as playing their song in the middle of a tense sway in the middle of the dancefloor. Your last meeting was less than ideal, given that you were... Screaming bloody murder toward each other, about your careers, the crimes he's commit, how you chose poorly of marrying a guy like him, how you regret falling in love with him...
It still stings, by the way.
"Fucking hell, really?" You hissed under your breath when you heard the song play, the lyrics being ironic to you now.
"You and me both." Edward sighs.
"Why are you doing this?"
"Doing what?" He acted as though he didn't know what you were referring to.
Why did he knowingly whisk you away from people who wants to fuck you up? Simple, he still cares... And you know that, which makes it all the shittier since you've let out words, unsavoury words, slip from your lips that you regret letting out.
You decided not to continue the topic, knowing full-well he doesn't want to talk about it. Some things still don't change about it, that's good to know.
"Thanks..."
Edward looks down at you with a raised bow. "For what?"
"Doing this. Protecting me?" You know how your only protection from the rogues was your association with Edward and at the duration of your relationship, you took advantage of that by taking risks.
'Hurt me and the Riddler will kill you.'
Meanwhile, he used you as well. Took the risk of putting a bug on you to spy on your meetings with your hero league.
"Yeah, no. I just want to do ditch Joker and his posse. I swear, they always inflate that clown's ego to save their skin." His tell of lying? Looking away.
"Look... I'm sorry about... The past. The things I've said."
The tension in his face loosened at the slightest. He still refuses to meet your eye.
So what? You're apologizing, big whop. It's not like it's going to undo things.
"Is something wrong?"
"No." Fuck, Why'd his voice crack? Fuck, why is his face wet?
You reach for his face. Right then and there he wanted nothing more to relish your warmth and lean to your touch. Your thumb swipe his tears away and though it didn't stop his tears, he felt as though he's going to be okay.
"You're not the one supposed to be apologizing..." Edward huffs. "I deserve the things that you told me."
"I forgive you."
He snorts, tears still in his eyes. "Really? Like that?" You nodded. "You're a moron."
"I guess I am." You shrugged.
A familiar spark ignites between you, and he was unsure whether it was only him who was feeling it. He slowly leans in, stopping midway to make sure he was reading this right, until you meet him in the middle.
Perhaps, a new beginning is in session.
