Hey everyone. Happy July. I wanted to share a fic I wrote for @fluffyjuly, and published today. It brings together, for the first time, Hailey Banks and Jessica "Jess" Cruz, building off my short post on here, expressing excitement at Jess's cameo in the second episode of My Adventures with Superman (MAWS) Season 3 ("Mobile Suit Toyman").

Apart from the many fics that inspire it, it draws inspiration from my only other fic with Jess, as she is depicted in DC Super Hero Girls, "Diana, Tatsu, and the Metropolis Librarian" (listed in the inspirations), plus my Hailey's On It! fic "Hailey Meets... the Villainess and her... Girlfriend?" I wanted to write this crossover story since some users,are already comparing the two characters. This story serves as the first My Adventures with Green Lantern (MAWGL) fic because the My Adventures with Superman (MAWS) and MAWGL are in the same universe. Jess's cameo is like a mini-back door pilot to MAWGL, hence it makes sense to add it here. It fulfills the prompt for Day 30 (Comfort) and alternate prompt 1, "Found Family" as Jess's family becomes Hailey's found family in more ways than one! Here's the summary:

A Hawaiian-American girl finds herself in the sprawling city of Metropolis. She is starting to have second thoughts about the relationship with her far-too-intense boyfriend, as she wrangles with the fact that she left behind her friends when she fled her beloved hometown. She realizes that she has to end the relationship before it mentally destroys her. What happens next catches her off guard and rocks her world. In the uncertainty afterward, she meets a young anxious Latina girl around her same age and with the same voice as her. She connects with her on a deep level, despite the girl's agoraphobia and trauma, beginning a new friendship.

This fic has no triggers, but it does feature warnings for explosions and character death, along with robots/evil robots, breakups, Hawaiian, Latina, and Asian American characters, social anxiety and agoraphobia, mental health issues, developing friendships, celebrity crushes, Supergirl fangirls (Jessica), and boba tea, with a cameo from a dastardly villain! Hope you all like it.

“That did not just happen.”

Mikey recognized Raph’s blunt deadpan for what it really was; he was numb with shock.

“I, uh…think it did, though.”

“Nope, that was nothin’. I didn’t hear nothin’ outta her just now and neither did you.”

“But don’t you wanna rub it in Casey’s face?”

“Oh, I would, but if April ever finds out…”

Mikey blanched. “Good point.”

“Vow of silence, cross our plastrons. This never happened.”

“Yeah, my lips are sealed.”
