My 3 pages contribution to the Relay Race: A Flash Zine by @flashfamevents : Out of Time.

Why do they deserve to win?

Captain Marvel & Dr. Sivana

Max Mercury & Dr. Morlo

Max: "And I'm just... really thankful to have you."

Morlo: "I'm thankful to have you, too."

Max: :)

Morlo: :)

*A Pause*

Morlo: "Are you aware Bart is-"

Max: "Watching us? Yeah, I don't think he's ever left the room when I told him to."

Doing God's work and drawing a ship no one asked for 💪

They are divorced and they were never even married.

Honestly everything about their dynamic in Impulse was a delight, two old enemies finding friendship in each other after one last feeble attempt to do the other in "for good" was pretty much closure sex but it didn't close anything 😂

Honestly they should be shipped more, because they do all of the work themselves, and also it would be really funny.

Title: Those it Deems Worthy

Summary: Inertia walks into the speed storm, gets his butt kicked by it, and gets spat back out. He thinks he's never going to be loved again. The Claiborne family prove him wrong.

Excerpt:

Thad doesn't beat around the bush. "When should I leave?" Max looks up from his hands, fluffy white eyebrows raised high. "What?" "I'm not a nitwit," he reminds him tersely. A little jab. This is not Bart Allen he's talking to. "I've overstayed my welcome. I'm not injured anymore. I can be out by tomorrow morning, I just need to make some phone calls-" "Bullshit," Max says, lightly. "You don't have anywhere to go." Thad feels himself start to tense and rushes on. "There's plenty of places I could crash. I'll find work just fine with my abilities, and soon I'll be able to repay you for..." He's not quite sure what to end that with. There's so much to repay. Some of it doesn't even feel like it was totally his fault, like they'd both stepped too close to a grenade and should just shake it off and walk their seperate ways. "I did this wrong," Max admits, massaging his brow. "I'm not kicking you out, Thad. Okay? We want you to stay." That just doesn't feel right. Doesn't feel earned. He can't stop himself from asking, "Why?" And Max Mercury, bastard he is, looks him dead in the eye and says, "Why not?"

A gift for my buddy! I had a lot of fun writing these characters. Thad is so very self-conscious, but he also has a massive ego, so it mixes into this. I hate all of you. I tried to kill you. But also if you died I would've been REALLY mad.
