“Omega,” Jazz says, falling back just a bit on her alpha voice again. Red Hood goes very, very still in her arms, his fingertips digging deep into her back. Hopefully that means he’s still affected enough to listen to her, even with his helmet’s pheromone filters running. Or–because they’re running, maybe. Depending. “Who can I call for you?” 

Red Hood’s vocoder–crackles, very briefly, but he doesn’t answer her. It feels like he’s breathing a little rougher, though she doesn’t know why. Heat drop? Stress? Arousal or anger? 

Just the effort of not answering that question, maybe. 

Maybe he doesn’t want to expose whoever he’d want to call for that as a friend or ally of Red Hood’s to a stranger, she realizes. That would more than make sense. Whether he is a crime lord or a vigilante, she can’t imagine he’d want to risk anyone he trusted like that. Which is understandable, obviously, and she’d do the exact same thing in his situation. 

But also it’s a problem, obviously. 

Dammit, Jazz thinks, trying to think. What can she do here that isn’t going to make this omega feel like shit in the morning? A heat spent in drop and left both unsatisfied and unsoothed would make just about anyone sick for weeks–and that’s assuming Red Hood is much more mentally healthy and much less stressed than she’d expect from anyone who went out in a mask and custom kevlar often enough to have an alter ego with a name attached to it. 

:D

3: What specific color gives me the ick?

So, I don't feel ick towards any colors, per se, but there are a couple that do fuck me up in weird ways! Specifically, this one:

This is creeping phlox. And this doesn't happen when I'm looking at photographs, so I've never bothered to try and take a picture, so I'm not sure it's phlox, it could also be creeping thyme. Either way, this particular shade - or something very like it - fucks me the hell up in the early morning when the light is thin. These flowers jump out of the landscape at me. It's not like they're glowing, it's not even to the point where I'd say they're fluorescing, but they are very much a "whoa, what the hell is that!" experience and they're difficult for me to look away from. They *pop* in a way I haven't seen from any other flower.

And this color, as well:

Blue LED Christmas lights. I HATE THEM. They hurt me to look at them, they don't look real. They look like holes in the universe and they are beautiful and terrible and very VERY bad to look at. I don't know why it's just the blue ones and no other colors, but holy fuck, these will be the death of me and I'm not even kidding, they're a damn road hazard.

5: Favorite form of potato?

AU GRATIN AU GRATIN AU GRATIN AU GRATIN, load them up with cheese and shovel them into my face, I love them I love them I love them.

7: What animal do I look forward to seeing when I visit the aquarium?

Oh no oh goddammit oh fuck you're making me choose??? Ok ok ok uh

This one!!

These are sea nettles, they are the prettiest jellyfish, I will die on this hill. Look at them! They're pretty!!

Also these:

Ha, I’m amused and pleased you noticed! I started with placing Bingo randomly, but then as I went on I tried to make her image match the ailment (she’s holding milk in the lactose one, etc). I found it morbidly entertaining.

I def saw it in an Avengers fic where tony kept his insect daemon in a capsule in the arc reactor be of his trauma when he was kidnapped. Dunno that i've ever seen it anywhere else

We had a staff meeting in terrible heat and humidity, and then I went home and slept off a headache. But I did get lots of cuddles from the kittens, and anyway I’m properly celebrating my birthday next week with the family, so it’s not a huge deal. 

How do vehicles work in this situation? If an athlete has an endorsement deal for a truck brand, what kind of auto insurance do they get?
