Bratty Lightning

And they’re both the same person. Do you even know what a confusing conundrum Captain Marvel is as a person? Like he interacts with citizens and villains and other Leaguers and he just…. doesn’t make any sense and says these completely bizarre things and its bloody beautiful.

X

Cap: Haven’t you ever starved? Felt hunger so deep it ate away at your bones? Have you never wept because you thirsted for just a drop of water but none was to be found?

Hal: No, holy shit no if I get hungry I go to Taco Bell. Holy fuck man, have you? are you okay? I have $6 lets get some food.

Cap: uh actually I don’t eat, you know, God thing and all

Hal: But you said-

Cap: Hey look at the time, gotta fly!

X

Cap: *giving a beautiful speech on growth and humanity and redemption that has his teammates looking at him with awe, Wally is wiping tears from his eyes*

Cap: Gee whiz guys! Look at this rock I just saw on the ground! It looks like a whale! I’m gonna keep it, anyway, where was I? *continues his speech*

X

Clark: Hmm we need information those orphan kids have but they won’t talk to us.

Cap: Don’t worry, I got this *walks away, sudden lightning then again 10 minutes later just before he comes back* They told me everything, just needed someone smaller and less intimidating to talk to them

Clark: What? We are literally the same size

Cap: Ug I hate when you go into a convenience store and the owner calls you names and chases you out with a broom

Diana: It can be difficult living in Mans World sometimes, I was unaware you spent your free hours here.

Cap, sweating: Oh I don’t, because I am the Ancient Gods’ vessel I mostly just sit at the Rock of Eternity…….. doing Godly Stuff 

Diana: But you said-

Billy: you guys ever stay up at night and question your own value as a civilian, and know deep down your true worth comes from being needed by others only as a hero?

Clark: wha-?

Bruce: do you need someone to talk to, Billy?

Billy, in a hurry: no thanks! I talked to Harley last week! Gotta go!

what if they think he spends his free time as a cat?

Clark probably thinks the broom is because he walked into a store and the owner thought he was a stray cat and chased him out because that’s the only time that could ever happen.

Hal probably thinks his speech on hunger is from spending free time as a cat after he hears about this theory because have you ever met a cat? That’s the kind of dramatic thing you’d expect a cat to say when a meal is a few minutes late. The fact that he said no to the food is rather strange but maybe he’s only hungry as a cat and he would rather eat a fish or something

Children are scared of dogs but have you ever seen one scared of a cat? I think not and a talking cat can easily get information. They just know there’s lightning every time he shape shifts now. Batman proceeds to try to learn how to make the Watchtower Lightning proof so he can hang out in other form in a show of Bat™ Support. Probably adds shelves everywhere to Caps confusion.

Heck, the rock was shaped like a whale. A fish like shape you could say.

Billy didn’t say anything, just kept an eye on his surroundings. No security cameras. No store assistants watching him, just one guy in the back hefting around pallets of canned food. Which meant…

He crept one hannd towards a prewrapped sandwich. One. Two…

‘i told myself ‘this could get rough’.’

‘that’s enough.’

‘don’t look down. don’t close your eyes.’

‘all i see is dark, but i sail on.’

‘wherever i go, i’ll be looking for you.’

‘i know i could lie but i’m telling the truth.’

‘wherever i go, there’s a shadow of you.’

‘i know i could try looking for something new.’

‘some people lie, but they’re looking for magic.’

‘i feel alive when i’m close to the madness.’

‘no easy love could ever make me feel the same.’

‘wherever i go, you’re the ghost in the room.’

‘you think it’s a lie when i’m telling the truth.’
