Something Wicked This Way Comes

Fandom: Supergirl, Shazam, The Flash, Zatanna, Teen Titans

Characters: Alexa Luthor Danvers, Liza Luthor Danvers, Zatanna, Billy Batson, Damien Wayne, Jon Kent, Nora West Allen

Summary: The Superkids are participating in a decathlon, but unusual series of events start to happen. This is a part of the 1k word challenge. I got the word smoke. This is in the same world as my series My Everything. Alexa, Liza, Billy, and Zatanna are a couple of years older. You can read this independently of the series. Not sure if I will keep this as a one shot or continue. If you want to see more, let me know!

Word Count: 2,464

Chapter: 1/?

Billy Batson looked at his gym outfit and cringed. Every year he got roped into doing the school’s decathlon. Everyone from 6-8th grade had to do a variety of physical activities for several hours. Then their results get posted in front of their entire class. It sucked because as Billy, he was at the tail end of the pack in regards to fitness. But as Shazam. He could wipe the floor with everyone. What made it worse this year is that they invited other schools across the country to participate: Gotham Academy and Kansas City Middle School. There was only two highlights. One is that this is the last one that he had to do before entering high school next year. The second highlight (which was the best in his opinion) is that he would get to hang out with two people that he admired: Jon Kent and Damien Wayne. They were in the Teen Titans and in the same grade as he is. Jon was cooler and calmer then this dad. Damien was the opposite. He had excellent knowledge and combat skills, but tended to be on the impulsive side. He has been able to meet them as Shazam since the League assigned him as a team lead for the Titans, but they didn’t want to hang out with him much because they perceived him as being an adult that was judging their performance. However, today was the day to change all that. His only problem is that they didn’t know who he was.

Billy sighed while walking outside. Most of the students were either just standing around or just stretching. He scanned the school yard to see if he could spot anyone he knew. He smiled brightly when he spotted Damien and Jon huddled together across the yard. As he approached, he started to slow down as he saw the two in a middle of an argument.

“I’m telling you Jon, we should just leave. No one would noticed” said Damien.

Jon sighed and said, “You really want to start trouble right after getting off the plane.”

“It is not like anyone would noticed that we are gone. We don’t have anything to prove. I can wipe the floor with these simpletons any day.”

“People would noticed that we are gone dumb ass. Remember Alexa and Liza saw us earlier.”

“Do you really think your cousins would rat us out?”

“Lena is picking them up,” muttered Jon.

Damien’s face fell and said solemnly, “The human lie detector.”

Jon nodded and said, “Even if we didn’t tell Alexa and Liza anything, I am supposed to be staying with them the next couple of days. I am not going to face her wrath over some stupid stunt you want to pull.”

Damien looked down and said, “You guys are no fun.”

Billy thought it was a good moment to try to get their attentions and cleared his throat. Both boys looked back at him quizzically.

“Is there something we can help you with?” asked Damien.

“Um, hi! My name is Billy,” said Billy stuttering.

“And? Why should we care?” drawled Damien.

Jon turned to Damien and said, “Don’t be rude.”

Jon then turned to Damien with a smile and said, “My name is Jon Kent, and my annoying friend here is Damien Wayne.”

“I am not the annoying one,” muttered Damien.

Jon rolled his eyes and said, “Anyway, I have heard a lot about you.”

“Really?” squeaked Billy.

Jon nodded and said, “You hang out with my cousins Alexa and Liza. There are really big fans of yours especially Alexa.”

Damien started snicking at that comment.

Hippopotamus

Hippo Hippo—Potamus! Take a look, a good assess Pick your teeth and then you press And pray and hope it's the right guess! Hippo Hippo—Potamus! In each teeth that you invest Be careful not to make a mess Lest its mouth snaps in protest! Hippo Hippo—Potamus! Down it chomps! Oh you've been best'! You laugh it off and shake your hand, but— Ouch! The pain is quite immense...

—S. Lee

It seemed no matter how he tried, it would always catch up to him. He'd ran, as fast as he could, as far as he could. Still, like a ghost, it haunts him. Wherever he goes.

Everyone's a bit of a clutz. He'd comfort Al about it many times.

"No worries, Àsta, it happens to the best of us"

He's the best of us, and just like Al, he hates when it happens. What he hates more though, is the fact that there's no one to help him. He's all alone, by choice. It was the best choice, and he stands by it.....or sits.

On the floor, hid in a corner somewhere about the house. No one could see him. No one was there.

Muffled sounds shook his arms.

Sobs. Cries. Pleas. Unanswered. No one was here. He was alone. He made sure of it.

To think -don't- all of this happened because of a spilt cup of water, a broken glass, the inability to let go.

'You don't have to,' he tells himself, 'You're alone here, you don't have to'

He tries, try his damndest, all to avoid the yellow chair.

'It's okay, Àsta, it happens to the best of us'

For the everyday word challenge: comforting/comfortable 👀

okay this was a fun one!! i went for a mix of both? idk how well it turned out though 😭

it's cold outside. i have a nightly routine- i can barely make myself do it, and i rush through it anyways because it is cold, cold, and my bed is warm with the blanket my father bought me when i was eight. i tie my hair back and pull on my socks. you should always cover up your toes, i remember my mother saying. i climb into my bed- it's still cold but i curl under the soft blanket- it is the softest thing i have ever touched. the fairy lights in my room are- almost twinkling at me, winking and blinking and making my eyelids heavy. i inhale- and i can smell the scent of the candle a friend gifted me for my birthday. it has just burnt out. i close my eyes, and turn off the fairy lights. the lights remain pressed into the backs of my eyelids, and they smile at me.

i smile back. my toes are no longer freezing.

#word challenge #thank you for the ask zac!!! :D #YO LOOK AT ME I HAVE DONE THIS FOR TWO DAYS. okay it may not seem like the biggest accomplishment but i am proud okay :)#also thank you all for the asks 😭😭 i'll answer them one by one every day even though they are all inspiring me like Right Now #asks #does this suck? yes probably. i am sleepy and have been working on a project for years and years i will throw it in a dustbin #and never think about it again.#okay.

up against the wall (with me) @steddiemicrofic prompt: pin, 388 words | rated: t | cw: none apply

Eddie can admit he’s thought about Steve pinning him against a wall at least once.

More like twice. Maybe three times. Four if you count that daydream where Steve pinned him against his car.

He always thought reality would be better than fantasy, and while he can appreciate feeling Steve’s hands on his waist and the length of his body against him instead of just imagining it, reality lacks an important detail from Eddie’s fantasies.

Steve isn’t kissing him.

Sure, it would’ve been confusing if Steve randomly pushed Eddie into an alley and started making out with him, but he isn’t any less confused by Steve dragging him here and then not kissing him.

“Steve?”

One of his hands covers Eddie’s mouth. “Shhh.”

Eddie gets momentarily distracted by the weight of it against his mouth. Before he embarrasses himself by moaning or something, he licks Steve’s hand.

“Ew!” Steve wipes it clean. He should’ve known Eddie would pull that move.

“Why are we here?”

“Kelly Donald was coming our way,” he says, which doesn’t explain anything. “She’s been to the store a few times to ask me out. I turned her down again yesterday, said I’d be busy all day.”

And he had been- hanging out with Eddie.

“Why not take her up on the offer?”

Steve shrugs. “I don’t feel like going on dates with random girls anymore, kinda have my eye on someone.”

Eddie’s face falls. “W-who?”

“Well-”

“Steve! I thought that was you!” Kelly says. “What are you doing here, silly?”

Her eyes widen when Steve shifts and she sees Eddie. He expects her to yell, and maybe so does Steve, who moves to block Eddie from view, shielding him.

“Sorry!” She says, surprising them. “Didn’t see you there. Eddie, right? Sorry to interrupt, I’ll go!” She hesitates, then faces them again. “Don’t worry, I won’t say anything. Sorry I kept asking you out, Steve, whoops!”

When she leaves, Eddie says, “You should go after her, explain this isn’t what she thinks. This is how rumors start, Steve, you don’t want the girl you got your eye on hearing about-”

“Eddie?”

“Yeah?”

“You’re the person I have my eye on, you idiot,” Steve says, and then he’s kissing Eddie! Against a wall!

Eddie takes back what he said- reality is so much better than fantasy.

River Horse

River Horses Walk along their courses Gouging waterways With incredible forces They walk along the river bed Keeping water below their heads These gentle creatures of serene Are needed for these desert ravines They network the canals Providing water for all The horses of rivers —that's what hippos are called

and here is another option:

cookies

when i was five i wanted a sister, an older sister, more than anything in the world.

there are so many things i want to tell my younger self. this is one of them: you're sitting in a bedroom and you're a little sad but you open up your texts and you see one of the people who made a dream you've had since you were small come true has been baking again. and there's something so beautiful about knowing that if you weren't thousands of kilometers apart you'd get to taste the love she has for everyone in the world, you'd get to taste the love she carries around in a little pocket in her heart [and you are so lucky to be able to see that love], isn't there?

[younger self: dreams do come true. they taste like cookies.]

#i cheated a little but CONSIDER: i love you so it's okay #hiiii carmen :DD #asks #word challenge #had to switch to alternate days ugh #but yes this was fun and also carmen i love you <3
