#1 & #44: “What’s the best place to hid a magic book?” “Uh…a library?” & “This joke goes beyond practical and far into sadistic terroritory.”

Roy was having a good day. A quiet day, in fact. The world wasn’t ending, there was no big super villain trying to take over down town, and he was free to relax.

He decided today would be a good day to practice his bow skills, and possibly make up new arrows. It was a lazy and he didn’t have any specific plans. Until Jason walked in, holding a book.

While that was far from an uncommon occurrence, today it seemed a bit odd. He was visibly striggling and looked to be slightly sweating. Roy raised an eyebrow and pointed to the book, which was a old style book, with a leather bound cover and musty old pages. “New reading material.”

“What’s the best place to hid a magic book?” Was not the question Roy expected Jason to ask.

Dumbfounded he replied, “Uh… a library?”

Jason quickly walked away, and Roy decided to follow. After all, he had nothing better to do.

He walked into Jason putting the book on the shelf, with it starting glow and pulsing slightly. Roy did not want that book anywhere near this place, much less close to his bedroom.

“The joke goes far beyond practical,” this had to be a joke, what other explanation does he have for this? “and far into sadistic terroritory.”

It was cruel and usual punishment for m to have to sleep near this thing. If he could even fall asleep that is. I need my beauty sleep and that book is going to mess it up. No way I fall asleep near that thing. No way.

“I got this as a gift, I can’t just throw it away anywhere.” Jason mutters looking at He book again, which had changed to mild pulsing, louder than before.

“From who?”

“Talia.”

Roy rubbed his hand down his face in exasperation. “Fine, you can keep it here, but make sure you get it to be an actual book first, I won’t be able to sleep near it otherwise.”

He walked out of the “library” and back to his workshop.

It was a lazy day and was going to relax, even if it killed him.

#7: “What is this? Have I joined a cult again?”

Cassie frowned at the leaflet the lady gave her. ItWorks! It boasted many health benefits such as loosing weight, and “clearing out toxins” and a whole bunch of other stuff. She took a look at the lady who was still going on about how these products were amazing and completely changed her life! And now I own my own business and set my own hours, while making tons of cash!

What is this, she thinks, have I joined a cult again?

She watches as this lady, who had cornered her with a “Hsy hun!” go on and on, almost religiously about how good these products were. Cassie felt her eye twitch as she had been fed enough information about these stupid peducts.

“So what do you say sweetie? Are you ready to empower yourself, become your own boss, and make thousands in just a few months?” The lady smiled maniacally. “It only costs $59 to but the starter kit, but think of it as ‘investing in your future.’ Once you are earning hundreds and thousands per month, you won’t even be thinking about this silly little price point, because you’ll have made it back ten fold!”

“Sorry, but I have no money. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.” Not that I want to in the first place, she supplies in her own mind, careful not to say that to the lady.

“Oh I’m sure you have money right? Mom gave you her credit card for shopping?”

Cassie frowned at that. “I don’t have a mom, and if even I did, I doubt she’d let me go to the mall with her credit card.”

For the first time, she could see the lady relived she had misstepped. “Oh I’m Teri lot sorry-”

She saw Conner and Tim, and headed their way. “Sorry, Miss have to run, good luck on your business.”

She left the lady alone standing there and walked to where her friends were standing. “Thank god you guys are here, that lady would not leave me alone.”

“What did she want?” Conner frowned.

Cassie smirked. “To invest in my future, apparently. And only at the low cost of $59.”

#17: “Your advice was to land on my head? You want me to die!” (Wrote this before I realized it said 1, 7, Not 17, so you get extra content due to me apparently not being able to read numbers lol.)

Dick looked at Jasonin shock. “That’s the advice your choosing to give me?” He shook his head.

Jason rolled his eyes. “It’s good advice.”

“Your advice was to land on my head.” Dick threw his hands up in frustration. “You want me to die!”

He could see Jason roll his eyes again. “Fine, then next time don’t ask me for advice.”

Now he was the one who wanted to roll his eyes. Why did you collect more kids Bruce, wasn’t one enough?

He sighed and continued looking at the arms dealer setting up his meet. “I won’t.”

He could feel Jason posting. It shouldn’t ha e been cute on a kid in a Robin costume-literally about to fight crime-but it was.

Babs called it his mother hen instinct, but he called it his big brother mode, while it was rare Jason was anything but an annoyance, sometime he was cute and it made Dick forget he momentarily hated Bruce for replacing him and never saying a thing.

“You done day dreaming or are we going to bust up the meet?” He felt a hand wave in front of his face. H could feel himself going back to scowling. The magic of being near Jason.

He saw another group of men pull up in the truck, and smiled. Showtime.

Before they were about to strike, Jason held his arm in front of him. “I don’t actually want you to die, that would make Bruce sad. So try not to follow my advice, eh?”

the fire is even spreading islamophobia and antisemitism in “conspiracy theories” like this:

we need to look ahead at the very possible “retaliation” attacks against jews and muslims in france in the coming months. france has had an epidemic of them that few non-muslim goyim are aware of/care about. here are just a few examples of antisemitic attacks in france lately:

Thanks! A bit angsty, but what can you do?

“Take off your shirt.” Dick mutters to Tim.

“What, why?” He frowns.

“Because we need to staunch the blood flow.” He muttered as Jason slowly bleed out in front of them. “And we don’t have time to wait for an ambulance.”

Tim ripped his shirt to give to Dick. “Okay.”

He looked around the hostages in the bank. “You called the ambulance right? When you alerted security?”

The teller nodded. “Yes.”

They heard the sirens and the tell tale sign of Batman beating up thugs.

How had a simple trip to the bank turned into this? Dick thought.

The doors being bursted through, Dick rushed to tell them they needed help.

The EMTs burst through and started triaging.

Everyone was good, except Jason.

Dick looked at the EMT, eyes watering, “Please help him.”

“We’ll do our best. You are both family right?”

“Yes, his brothers.”

“Come with us, and notify your league guardian or parent of this.”

They wheeled him out to the ambulance, and jumped inside.

***

Arriving at the hospital, there was a flurry of movement.

“Male, 19, GSW to the chest, possible pneumothorax.” The EMT shouted.

“Take him to OR three!”

Dick and Tim sat down, waiting for Bruce to arrive.

Dick barely noticed when Bruce got here, in a fog state. He expected things to happen during their vigilante activities, but it was a bitter shock when it happens in their civilian life as well.

“Dick, are you okay?” Bruce said, kneeling down next to him.

“Please tell me it’s going to be okay.” He whispered.

Bruce didn’t know how to respond, but just sat there with him, trying his best to comfort his eldest son.

They hoped Jason would be okay. He had to be. He was strong after all.

New drabble prompt list! Feel free to reblog!

“That’s how the story goes.”

“None of this is your fault.”

“I know it hurts.”

“Are you serious?”

“You’re safe now.”

“No one’s going to hurt you.”

“I don’t understand.”

“This isn’t what I wanted.”

“My head hurts.”

“I’m right here, okay?”

“Wow, you look… amazing.”

“Are you okay?”

“Who did this?”

“I made a mistake.”

“When I’m with you, I’m home.”

“There’s nothing I can do anymore.”

“This is going to hurt.”

“That was kind of hot.”

“Please don’t let me be alone.”

“Don’t try to fix me. I’m not broken.”

“It’s never too late to get back up again.”

“What if one day I wake up and you don’t?”

“I immediately regret this decision.”

“I’m not okay.”

“I’m scared.”

“You’re the one thing keeping me sane right now.”

“Please stay with me.”

“Please help me.”

“It’s okay to cry.”

“Is that blood?”

“Can I kiss you?”

“You’re everything to me.”

“I’d like to see you try.”

“Are you testing me?”

“I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re beautiful.”

“I’m lost without you.”

“You have my word.”

“I’m just tired.”

“It just… hurts.”

“Do you promise?”

“I’m not drunk enough for this.”

“Why are you shaking?”

“I never meant to hurt you.”

“Is that my shirt?”

“Please don’t shut me out.”

“Go back to sleep.”

“I can take care of myself just fine.”

“This is new.”

“Take off your shirt.”

“Be you. No one else can.”

“I can’t breathe.”

“Are you going to talk to me?”

“I’m sorry.”

“They’re gone.”

“Just smile. I really need you to smile right now.”

“Would you just hold still?”

“I miss the way things used to be.”

“Am I dead?”

“Look at me.”

“Can we just pretend like we’re normal for once?”

“I told you not to fall in love with me.”

“Please shut up. Just shut up.”

“Please tell me it’s going to be okay.”

“Yell, scream, cry, please, just say something, anything.”

“When you smile, I fall apart.”

“If I die, I’m never speaking to you again.”

“If you don’t want to talk about it then say so. Don’t lie and pretend to be fine when you clearly aren’t.”

“This isn’t what it looks like.”

“I just really miss talking to you.”

“I can’t do this on my own.”

“I’ve got you.”

“We’ll figure this out.”

“Please don’t say goodbye.”

“You’ve shown me what love can feel like.”

“You make me feel alive.”

“I wouldn’t change a thing about you.”

“There is nothing wrong with you.”

“I’m just looking out for you.”

“Be careful.”

“You owe me.”

“Come with me.”

“I trust you.”

“I didn’t want you to see this.”

“I’ve been praying for you.”

“Take my jacket. It’s cold outside.”

“I’ll walk you home.”

“Let me help.”

“Come here.”

“You’re holding back.”

“Remember when we were little?”

“We’re all a little stronger than we think we are.”

“Don’t sell yourself short.”

“This isn’t who I am.”

“I’m willing to wait for it.”

“Are you ready for this?”

“You can do this.”

“Your life was my life’s best part.”

“You were always gold to me.”

“Don’t look at me like that.”

“I’m fine with where I am now.”

“We all want to be somebody.”

“Promise me you’ll come back.”

“I don’t know anyone else who can make me feel this way.”

“I’ve never felt stronger than when you’re with me.”
