She stole my fucking car!

Her chin rests in the palm of her hand, watching Luke get up from the stool. She knew how Gotham was at night, she knew how tough it was and she knew she could take care of herself but did he know that? “That would be great, no funny business mister.” Her words come out a bit slurred, making her chuckle. “You know what I mean.” She moves to get up, trying to keep her balance.

Luke chuckled. It certainly wouldn’t be the first time he took a woman home intoxicated only to bang her brains out. The difference between this time is the women were the aggressors and wanted whereas Diana wants to rest. Cage was respectful of her wishes.“ Ain’t nothin’ funny about Luke Cage.” He chuckled.

Moments later…Cage was back in his hotel in Gotham and laid the blonde in the hotel bedroom to get some much needed sleep. He kept watch as the news was updating Gotham citizens of the disturbing break out at Arkham Asylum. The crazies at Arkham were far different than the crazies he dealt with in Harlem.

“Damn…this place is shit…”

Groaning and placing a hand to her forehead, Dinah keeps her eyes closed tight. “Thanks for letting me sleep, I appreciate it. Sorry I was so bitchy earlier.”

❛ & they’d all be so disappointed. ❜

❛ Cause who am I if not exploited ? ❜

❛ & I don’t stick up for myself. ❜

❛ & I wish people liked me more. ❜

❛ All I did was try my best. ❜

❛ This the kinda thanks I get ? ❜

❛ But I wish I could disappear. ❜

❛ God, it’s brutal out here. ❜

❛ I only have two real friends. ❜

❛ & lately, I’m a nervous wreck. ❜

❛ I feel like no one wants me. ❜

❛ & I wish I’d done this before. ❜

❛ & they’d all be so disappointed, ‘Cause who am I if not exploited ? ❜

❛ & I’m so tired that I might quit my job, start a new life. ❜

𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒕𝒐𝒓

❛ I played dumb, but I always knew. ❜

❛ I kept quiet so I could keep you. ❜

❛ & ain’t it funny how you said you were friends ? ❜

❛ Now it sure as hell don’t look like it. ❜

❛ & I know that you’ll never feel sorry for the way I hurt. ❜

❛ All I did was try my best. ❜

❛ Loved you at your worst, but that didn’t matter. ❜

❛ Guess you didn’t cheat, but you’re still a traitor. ❜

❛ Remember I brought her up & you told me I was paranoid ? ❜

❛ God, I wish that you had thought this through before I went & fell in love with you. ❜

𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒆

❛ But today, I drove through the suburbs, crying 'cause you weren’t around. ❜

❛ 'Cause how could I ever love someone else ? ❜

❛ But I’ve never felt this way for no one. ❜

❛ How you could be so okay now that I’m gone. ❜

❛ 'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street. ❜

❛ & all my friends are tired of hearing how much I miss you. ❜

❛ I kinda feel sorry for them. ❜

❛ Can’t drive past the places we used to go to. ❜

❛ 'Cause they’ll never know you the way that I do. ❜

❛ I still see your face in the white cars, front yards. ❜

❛ But I still fuckin’ love you. ❜

❛ You said forever, now I drive alone past your street. ❜

❛ Called you on the phone today just to ask you how you were. ❜

❛ All I did was speak normally. ❜

❛ & I don’t stick up for myself. ❜

❛ Somehow, I still struck a nerve. ❜

❛ You got me fucked up in the head. ❜

❛ I hate that I give you power over that kinda stuff. ❜

❛ I’m the love of your life until I make you mad. ❜

❛ It’s always one step forward and three steps back. ❜

❛ Do you love me, want me, hate me ? ❜

❛ & lately, I’m a nervous wreck. ❜

❛ No, I don’t understand. ❜

❛ & maybe in some masochistic way I kind of find it all exciting. ❜

❛ Like, which lover will I get today ? ❜

❛ Will you walk me to the door or send me home crying ? ❜

𝒅𝒆𝒋𝒂 𝒗𝒖

❛ So when you gonna tell her that we did that, too ? ❜

❛ That was our place, I found it first. ❜

❛ & I don’t stick up for myself. ❜

❛ I made the jokes you tell to her when she’s with you. ❜

❛ Do you get déjà vu when she’s with you ? ❜

❛ ’Cause let’s be honest, we kinda do sound the same. ❜

❛ I hate to think that I was just your type. ❜

❛ Now I bet you even tell her how you love her in between the chorus and the verse.  ❜

❛ A different girl now, but there’s nothing new. ❜

❛ I know you get déjà vu. ❜

𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 4 𝒖

❛ Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world ? ❜

❛ Good for you, I guess that you’ve been workin’ on yourself. ❜

❛ I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped. ❜

❛ Now you can be a better man for your brand new girl. ❜

❛ You look happy and healthy, not me, if you ever cared to ask. ❜

❛ You’re doin’ great out there without me, baby. ❜

❛ God, I wish that I could do that. ❜

❛ But you’re so unaffected, I really don’t get it. ❜

❛ But I guess good for you. ❜

❛ I guess you’re gettin’ everything you want. ❜

❛ It’s like you never even met me. ❜

❛ Remember when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you ? ❜

❛ Well, screw that, and screw you. ❜

❛ It’s like we never even happened. ❜

❛ You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do. ❜

❛ Maybe I’m too emotional. ❜

❛ Your apathy’s like a wound in salt. ❜

❛ Or maybe you never cared at all. ❜

𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖

❛ Tried so hard to be everything that you liked just for you to say you’re not the compliment type. ❜

❛ Stupid, emotional, obsessive little me. ❜

❛ You found someonе more exciting. ❜

❛ The nеxt second, you were gone. ❜

❛ All I ever wanted was to be enough for you. ❜

❛ You left me there cryin’, wonderin’ what I did wrong. ❜

❛ You always say I’m never satisfied, but I don’t think that’s true. ❜

❛ & maybe I’m just not as interesting as the girls you had before. ❜

❛ But God, you couldn’t have cared less about someone who loved you more. ❜

❛ I’d say you broke my heart but you broke much more than that. ❜

❛ Now I don’t want your sympathy. ❜

❛ I just want myself back. ❜

❛ Don’t you think I loved you too much to think I deserve nothing ? ❜

❛ Don’t you think I loved you too much to be used & discarded ? ❜

❛ But don’t tell me you’re sorry. ❜

❛ Feel sorry for yourself. ❜

𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒓

❛ Your friends are mine, you know I know. ❜

❛ I thought my heart was detached from all the sunlight of our past. ❜

❛ Does she mean you forgot about me ? ❜

❛ I hope you’re happy, but not like how you were with me ❜

❛ I’m selfish, I know, I can’t let you go. ❜

❛ So find someone great, but don’t find no one better. ❜

❛ I hope you’re happy, but don’t be happier. ❜

❛ An eternal love bullshit you know you’ll never mean. ❜

❛ Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me ? ❜

❛ I wish you all the best, really. ❜

❛ Say you love her, baby. Just not like you loved me. ❜

❛ & think of me fondly when your hands are on her. ❜

𝒋𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒚, 𝒋𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒚

❛ I kinda wanna throw my phone across the room. ❜

❛ Wish I didn’t care. ❜

❛ But it feels like that weight is on my back & I can’t let it go. ❜

❛ I think I think too much. ❜

❛ I’m happy for them, but then again, I’m not. ❜

❛ I’m so sick of myself. ❜

❛ Oh God, I sound crazy. ❜

❛ Their win is not my loss. ❜

❛ I know it’s true, but I can’t help gettin’ caught up in it all. ❜

❛ I wanna be you so bad and I don’t even know you. ❜

❛ All I see is what I should be. ❜

𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆

❛ Know that I loved you so bad. ❜

❛ I let you treat me like that. ❜

❛ I was your willing accomplice, honey & I watched as you fled the scene. ❜

❛ The things I did just so I could call you mine. ❜

❛ One heart broke, four hands bloody. ❜

❛ Well, I hope I was your favorite crime. ❜

❛ You used me as an alibi. ❜

❛ I wondеr if you’re around cause you know that I’d do it all again. ❜

❛ It’s bittersweet to think about the damage that we’d do. ❜

❛ I say that I hate you with a smile on my face. ❜

❛ 'Cause, baby, you were mine. ❜

❛ Oh, look what we became. ❜

❛ & somehow, we fell out of touch. ❜

❛ Don’t know if I’ll see you again someday but if you’re out there, I hope that you’re okay. ❜

❛ She couldn’t wait to go to college. ❜

❛ Does she know how proud I am she was created with the courage to unlearn all of their hatred ? ❜

❛ I miss you & I hope that you’re okay. ❜

❛ Nothing’s forever, nothing is as good as it seems. ❜

❛ God, I hope that you’re happier today. ❜

She can’t help but chuckle at that, shaking her head. “It’s Dinah, not Diana - but that happens more than you think. It’s a pleasure to meet you Nate.” She had zoned out for a moment on a random motorcycle, not knowing it was his. Seeing the stranger move away from the bike, it was almost like they were forced, the movements just didn’t seem natural.

“That motorcycle yours?”

Send me “Nice to meet you” for our muses to be set up on a blind date:

@homeforthebirdsofprey

“I don’t do this often,” Cristina blurted when the other woman sat down across from her. “I mean, I don’t just date around, and I think that’s important for you to know.”

( Accepting! @agentjadelance )

Helena scoots close to Jade, now they’re knee to knee and she’s holding her hand gently - squeezing it as she listens to the other woman speak. “I’ve felt the same way and I thought it would go on forever, the emptiness didn’t replace the pain - I think it only made it worse.

I’m here for you Jade, you’re safe and you have family even if you don’t think you do. You’ve got me and Harley and Dinah, oh and Renee. What can I do?”

Joseph had been in Gotham city for a few months, overseeing the startup of a car manufacturing plant that his corporation had located there.  During that time, he had set up a ‘safe house’ of sorts, in case some sort of disaster struck and he needs a place to hole up.  It was an old warehouse, in a pretty much empty part of the city, a contractor from out of state brought in to do the work, pouring concrete walls on the inside, a roof as well.  In case times were not,..to bad, there was what looked like an office/break room that he could stay in, but, if it were really bad, below that space, a fully stocked and supplied bunker was built, the entrance secured and hidden so that only he could access it.  He had hoped that he would never have to use the place, who would?  But, as it turns out, days before he was set to return home, it happened, a nationwide cyber attack of some sort.  So now, after grabbing his ‘Bug Out Bag’ from the closet of the hotel room he had been staying in, Joseph is trying to make his way across the city to his refuge, driving was out of the question, most modern vehicles were out of commission, and even though his had ‘sterilized’ micro chips to protect it from some sort of hacking, the streets were blocked by dead cars.  As he creeps along, avoiding people the best he can, he thinks, “Wish I were armed, but, the laws in this city are so tight, I would more likely be in jail by now if I had any sort of firearm on me.”

“Well, do you want to be thrilled? I suppose I could have fun with you. But most people get somewhat wary when you have the power to make people do, think, and believe whatever you want to make them do, think, or believe.” 

plot: Edward is a very well respected model, at the top of his game but the one thing the media can’t understand is why he doesn’t indulge in any of the perks of being a top model, he doesn’t go to many parties, late night functions or even friendly get togethers. His personal life is very well kept under wraps, not much is known about him other than his job. He’s very polite, quiet but not much of a talker.

You- can be a new photographer, or recently been employed to be Edwards personal assistance or anyone who’s new to the fashion industry.

A Black Canary movie from writer Misha Green is in early development at HBO Max, sources tell Collider, though the exciting news was first reported by Cinelinx.

Jurnee Smollett will reprise her role as Dinah Lance, aka Black Canary, who was first introduced in last year’s Birds of Prey movie. The character was depicted as a burlesque singer who rescues Harley Quinn from an attempted abduction and later becomes the driver for crime lord Roman Sionis. She eventually betrays Roman and reveals her metahuman ability of supersonic-level screaming.

This was do or die and she wasn’t that surprised, they were pawns in a chess game and Amanda Waller was the queen who controlled it all. It’s raining some and she can hear the screams of the people, all these innocent people that didn’t deserve to die. Harley may be screwed up in the head and forever changed but that didn’t mean she didn’t have a heart. Holding the staff tightly in her hand, she struts forward confidently towards the large….. starfish or whatever it was. And she wasn’t the only one.

"Ya ready Princess?" She truly was one and his Princess at that. He sat beside her and took her hand in his. All felt right with the world now that the King and Queen of Gotham were back together.

Squeezing his hand, she rests herself against him. “I’ll make it up to ya, I promise. You and me, no one else.”
