PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

It's become all kinds of trendy being so close to the New Year and all so I guess it's our turn now! JUSTICE LEAGUE ROLL CALL.

We don't really have ranks except maybe if you're Batman and I hope I don't get yelled at for doing this if he wanted t But I was curious to who all is here. I think you all know me, I'm Virgil Hawkins. Static to the Justice League. I think it's time we have a headcount and possibly a recruiting session. There are a few new faces in the city, so this seemed like a good plan.

We work together with Angel Investigations and cover the more human side of big bads in the city. Just because our specialty is more with the citizens that doesn't mean being part of the Justice League will get you out of vampire-duty. We were given powers and with that the ability to help anyway we can.

Being part of the Justice League means exactly that. Helping others. Making the world a safer place and doing as much good along the way as we are able.

That being said don't be shy, we don't bite (much). If you prefer a "screened" response that's fine too, I wasn't to keen on the sharing of my identity at first either.

Thanks everyone for all the gifts, I really like them all. If you need me, I'll be in the kitchen hitting people with flying my new helicopter!

Are you guys seeing stuff too?

[Filtered; Justice League]
We may or may not have a slight problem.

[Filtered; House of Zod]
If you can read this, I've found your family's crest next to my own. My name is Kara, I am from the House of El. General Zod?

Christmas is coming up pretty fast. This is the first time I've ever been away from Gotham for the holidays..it's weird Mom and the twip probably have the apartment all set up with lights by now. Know what I never understood about Christmas? Eggnog. Ick. Mom used to like it so it was tradition. I'd pretend to, and Christmas eve we'd have it. But it was so thick it can't be fit for humans.

Hey, guys. Have you seen the news? A good number of crimes were stopped. And.. at each scene, the symbol of my family crest is sprayed there. But I found out some disturbing things. There was a group of guys tied up, looked like gangbangers. Turns out they were working undercover. And one guy that was being chased by a wild animal to a police station.. it was NOT a perp wanting to confess. It was a reporter that looked the part. And another incident where evidence was turned in, but the document was tarnished, dirty, and barely readable by the time the authorities got it.

I have my suspicions. But I don't want to make a mistake here, on the chance that I might be wrong. Could be anything, just want to make sure. So.. alright, people. Any theories? Ideas? Bounce some of your thoughts on me. And Bruce, thanks for the voice-altering device for my phone. I'll be using that to contact that fan twins shortly. Maybe they know about this.

Heat vision sucks. Bad. It's a good thing that my powers sorta help me heal a bit faster than normal people, otherwise it would be worse but really. I advise not pissing off a Kryptonian and being at the receiving end, it's not a fun party.Clark..I swear if you switch sides again.. In need of a recharge now. But it's to hard to even get out of bed like this, and even harder to find a sufficient fuse box to tap into without blowing power to the entire block. Totally water logged and heat visioned out. Thanks for fishing me out of the water Bart..I guess I should learn to swim one of these days.

[ooc: Couple days post http://asylums.insanejournal.com/parabolical/995282.html#cutid1 that thread. In progress]

A box!..I don't know if I like boxes from ..thanks, really, Harleen. You didn't have to get us anything. You wanting to do good, and proving to us that you're trying is all we need.

[Private to justice league]
DO NOT. Go near that box. Bart, Virgil, I'm looking right at you two. I know it's a shiny box full of something, but we don't know what yet. Kal can I see you in the kitchen, like now?

You boys ain't social even a little bit.

Should I liven things up or are you gonna keep me entertained?. How about it Bats? You used to like tryin to make me all guilty. Even sorta nearly managed one time.

No ones laughing, people should be laughing.

Hey, guys? I don't know about you... but I got something in the mail. From the city courthouse. It's weird, I thought it was for jury duty or something. Last time I got this kind of thing was when I had to testify against Lionel. But it's a restraining order obtained by Thorn. Don't know why, never actually went after him, just mostly spying Doesn't it usually take a week or month for these things to process? This was quick... guess he really doesn't want us at his work's event. Anyone get this too? I have this feeling that I wasn't the only one who got government mail today.

I feel so much better now that I don't need an arm sling or crutches. That was a very close call. I feel like singing. Praise the Lord, it's so good to be alive, Amen brothers.. no, I better stop that before I get struck down mysteriously But I have an idea, for maybe next week, or the week after. I can give everyone at work a day off, instead using the lot as a setting for an outside feast. Like a bake sale or something. Cake, donuts, rotisserie chicken, ribs, drinks, punch, cotton candy.. the works. Maybe a few games too. You know, like a dunking pool, baseball cage, or something.

And those bins by the left area of the building. Those are free for anyone to donate canned food, old toys they don't want anymore, or clothes. They usually go to shelters or to anyone that needs it. I know we don't get snow.. but California can still get cold in winter. There's plenty of stuff in there for the moment, but every little bit helps. Oh, and.. that little feast idea. It'd be open to the public, so pretty much anyone is welcome. It's just a matter of picking a good sunny day for it. That way there would be little to no chance of rainclouds ruining it. Side note, though... my company is still hiring if anyone wants to make more money.

Getting back into the flow of school is..hard. I got so used to sleeping in all day and patrolling at night. Brentwood Academy home of the rich and snobby. I guess I should just be happy Oracle didn't pick a school with uniforms. Bruce..do I really still have to go here? I could be doing so much less more at the manor with you.

It's the first day and I've already got homework.

Fascinating. Unexpected, but quite fascinating.

Aw now ain't this a pretty conveniant little way to get to know you all.

Names Harley, Harley Quinn. Some people'd say I'm crazy. And strictly psychologicly speaking, yeah maybe, I mean wanted in twelve states does put a bit of a smudge on my reputation, but crazy's a real broad term and I'm a friendly gal.

Now I been here a few days, lookin around and I ain't seen any sign of Mister J but that could be a game or anything so, if you're here puddin', let me know. Please...

Since the communicators are not reaching out as they did before, I must resort to contact here. I'm looking for my fellow Justice League compatriots, if anyone can put them in touch with me.

-WW

I quit. I resign. I'm done. Someone else be leader.

Fuck, Angel, I miss you so much.

Spies. The Scourge have spies, members of the group they consider not strong enough to be soldiers. That's how they decide when and where to hit. That's their weak link.

Despite the fact that nearly everybody I know seems to be a dog owner (there are what, four dogs now at the Hyperion?), there is no way anyone can resist these faces.

Did you get the information?

I don't think I've ever run so many red lights in my life. I think I even out ran a cop. That wasn't really my fault. I couldn't tell he was there, because he was all tiny and little in the mirrors by the time he turned on the lights. Did you realize half the cars in Bruce's garage can go from 0 to 60 in under 10 seconds? That was only the first row of Bentley's. There's still the BMW's and the Z3's, and a few dozen motorcycles to try. I dunno where this came from. But we just have so many, many cars and we only ever drive one. It just doesn't seem fair to the rest of them to sit there and get all dusty. Sometimes they're even driven by our driver. It's Car discrimination I tell you! Pure and simple. Lets see, I've already gotten through about ten cars. I should be done by morning. Or maybe tomorrow morning. I think I can do this all night.

Dick's been shot. how the hell does Night Wing get himself shot

[filtered to Bruce.]
I think we should just disconnect the manor phone. It's never good.

I have five vampires throwing themselves at me on a Santa Monica boardwalk and my kid is texting me because he’s bored and wants ice cream.

Two hundred dollars to whoever takes him somewhere and keeps him from bothering me.

I don't see a way out.

I've already exhausted a weeks worth of comic books, and I just picked them up yesterday.I wanna get out of the building but just about everything costs money I don't have. I went to Clipper Stadium and watched the Lakers practice, but I couldn't actually get in, had to watch through a window. A high one in the nosebleed area. I'm broke for allowance now, so I guess that means no more arcades. I went to a few different stores that were hiring and they all told me I was to young. Being 15 is kinda lame sometimes. What else can I do? I'm starting to get bored.

Anybody need a computer programmer or want a game designed? I'm pretty good at that kinda stuff.

My suit feels almost as good as new. I can't believe how close it is to my original. Missing a few basic features, but that's understandable considering its technology was a few years ahead. It's good to be back in my colors again. Not that the nightwing suit wasn't good for it's time..The ropes were getting painful and tiring. Kinda near impossible with broken bones. Feels like their starting to heal though.

[Filtered to Bruce]
Question is, when do I get to take it for a test drive?

If one more person calls me Terrance.. For the record? My name is Terry. Not Sport, or Tiger, or Terrance. Just Terry.

I haven't been able to sleep the past couple nights, almost 48 hours now. I finished most of the homework I missed. 3 weeks worth. Except the math..I don't think I can take anymore text books. It's almost 3am and I'm still wide awake.

Kal won't be bothering anyone anymore. Actually I don't think it was his fault in the first place. As soon as I took off this weird ring he was wearing he didn't even want to keep fighting. I'm sorry I couldn't do it sooner.

The Clock Tower is just fucking gone. Has anyone seen Barbara or heard from Oracle?

I don't know how much longer I can do th

[ooc: post this as nightwing]

Damn, you people got some ugly freaks in this city! Pointy teeth. Yellow eyes. Heh, they thought they could bite me? I showed them. Noticed they like to hoard riches. Sorry, guys.. it's all mine now. They don't like being warm. Or hot. Kinda makes them get with the flailing. Especially with flames all over their bodies.

I will admit you got some fine-ass women around. Ohhhh. All slim, pretty, moist, and friggin' tight. They won't be for long, if you get my meaning. Not after I get done with them all. Some don't wear much anyway. I mean... goddamn, I really don't even need x-ray vision to see what they look like underneath. Not that I haven't used it anyway.

Kill kill

They were trying to control me. They should know better. Nobody can control me. Darkside is everything.

[ooc: As Static]

[Filtered to Bruce and Terry]

It seems like I was right, Bruce. Now that I know.. I sorta wish I didn't. Most guys in my position wouldn't have even bothered. I mean, he just nearly killed me yesterday. But maybe that's just who I am. Someone needs saving.

Tess Mercer. She did put a chip inside his head, input to the brain, set to go off by remote if she deemed it necessary. Like if he failed, turned on her, or if she maybe has a bad hair day. Bart doesn't believe me. But that's fine, that deadly piece of metal is still coming out of him.

I do have a plan. We can't approach him head on. Not with a guy as fast as him. I'm thinking of a sneak attack. I'll x-ray him first so I know where the box is. Then use breath to knock him down, and I'll be on him in 0.4 seconds until Batman comes by. Terry can probably be waiting in the shadows too. I know where he's staying, so it won't be hard. so.. is this good? What do you think, Bruce, is it a good plan? Or maybe you'd have a more efficient one. Please tell me.. we can't risk Tess coming here yet.

I have a new rule. It’s where you check in with me every five minutes hour so I can be sure that you haven’t been replaced by an evil twin that I’ll need to immediately lock up. Don’t go out alone and don’t even look at my motorcycles. Again.

You know, there is nothing like death to put things in perspective. Bart Allen is not to be trusted. He is a thief and murderer. Or would be a killer, if I wasn't helped. But you know what they say. It's the thought that counts. He stuck me with a chunk of kryptonite. And left me there to die. But in a way, he did kill a part of me, and maybe it had to happen soon anyway This is not Impulse. It's not the one we know. If you suddenly find things missing, and know darn well you had it a second earlier... well, now you know who took it.

[Filtered to JLA (minus Bart), Batfamily]

Terry, I went to him.. you likely know what happened now. He nearly killed me if Bruce hadn't come.. I'd be gone forever. Bart would kill me. Almost did. Think about that.. a guy who was my best friend chose to destroy me, after making accusations without proof. This is not him. I never gave him a speech, he never came to my home. Imagine the type he'd become if he never met me or been a friend of mine.. and further, imagine if he was working with Luthor's protege.

I know he was our friend. But the Impulse we shared the building with? I have to assume he isn't here, replaced by this morally challenged one. He could turn on one of us next just as easily as he did with me. Don't let him fool you. I'd vote for changing security and keeping him barred from the Bradbury. But I'm not the leader, so I don't have the authority to enforce that But if he is still a part of our team, and is welcomed back to our place.. we should have precautions. Though I fail to see why we need a thieving murderer in our midst

[Filtered to Bart]

You screwed up. Again. Funny, with all the alien baddies who tried to off me, turned out that a human succeeded. Almost did, anyway. Next time you decide to kill someone.. make sure they don't have any friends close by. That is why you failed. With your last comment about failing, maybe you should have looked in the mirror. And now you will never come near my again. Hurt anyone else and you will have to deal with me. I might not be so nice next time

But I should probably thank you. You have proved to me that most humans can't be trusted. Not Davis, and not you. Well.. there's one way the two of you are alike. That is the part of me that made me weak, that human side. I need to let that go. And after meeting you, I fully intend to. My birth father did always say that emotions would be my downfall. He turned out to be right and I learned that after I was duped into using the blue crystal. Do things differently? Ohhh, I plan to. Another thing-- I will not be here if you come by again. There is nothing you could say to make me drop my guard again. Clark Kent is dead.

Dante is getting strong. We were playing with a frisbee and ...well now we can't play with the frisbee anymore, he caught it with the wrong teeth and broke it down the middle and he's just a puppy. I think it's time for training.

I spent about half an hour surfing the net tonight. Finally doing some homework. more like trying to find a way back h Then I got distracted by jets. I found the perfect one. F-117A Black Jet Nighthawk. Almost..almost close to "the car". Inside tech's a little ancient Doesn't make me want it less.

I think Ace has actually started liking Dante. He's been showing him around the cave all night. While I've been reading up on profiles. Barking when he does something stupid. This keeps up, we're gonna have to call him Wonder Dog "the second" or something, and hope it sticks. Ace won't stand for the cute nick names.

[Private to Roy]
Read up on that new friend of yours in town. Sounds pretty rough. Want some help? I know I'm not Dick, but..I've got a few tricks of my own.

[ooc: as NightWing]

Hey...Zatanna? I wanna know something. It's kinda important. Life and death even.( okay well maybe not that dramatic, but still!) Do you know anything about sandwich magic? See, I've got a theory. Bruce dad Bruce says if anyone knows that you'd know. Know those fancy little sandwiches British butlers are always good at making? I say they've got a set of crazy miniature knives that are filled with sandwich magic and make all things small and finger sized. Dad says it doesn't exit. But they defy logic! They have to exist! Large knives would just ruin the whole thing.

[ooc: Sometime after this exchange between Roy and Xander]

Oh God. Why did I do that Internet search? I mean, that crazyevil Superboy said we were comic book characters in his world, but he was crazy! And evil!.

I admit I am a little uncomfortable with the idea that my entire life story is on Wikipedia.

You know who you are and you know what I mean. I don’t know if you’re planning to retaliate, if you have your lawyers on the phone already, if you’re stupid enough to make a move, but I do know that you’ll be wasting your time if you don’t retreat and stay away. If you want revenge it won’t work. If you want him to pay for what he did to you and your car, you’ll be sorely disappointed. I don’t take very well to anybody purposely baiting at my league members and you yourself must have known that you were walking on thin ice by doing so.

Don’t play innocent with me because I know that you’re anything but. Back off and don’t try to get in contact with him. If you want to ignore this warning and carry things further, make everything worse, then you’ll be dealing with me and not him.

Believe me, I’m not someone you want angry with you.

And one last thing. Stay away from my kid.

(After this.)

I fell asleep at work earlier and when I woke up to another woman tapping me on the shoulder, I flipped out, thinking she had a camera.

Six years down the road and I'm pretty sure the camera scares me more than the gun. It's probably not helping that I have to see him every day.

[Bruce and Zinda]
You want to do Joker checks for me for a few days? Thanks. Please, please don't take this as a 'request'.

I know I messed up. again. No surprise, right? I've been doing alot of that But I don't know how to make this better. I thought I knew the answers. I thought if I faced it, it'd all be better. I don't sleep anymore, and when I close my eyes its a nightmare. They aren't stopping. I can't think straight and I don't know how to fix it. I feel like I'm splitting a part. I'm slipping and I don't know what's gonna happen. I'm so angry all the time. I don't even know who I am anymore. I don't even know why I'm writing this out here of all places.I don't know why I thought this would help
I..

My head..it feels like I've been hit by a truck. Repeatedly. Aspirin isn't doing crap.not for the nightmares anyway

[Zinda]
You said you had something that'll help? I'm willing to try anything..

I’m so glad I don’t have to clean up regurgitated alcohol from the carpets. If I did someone would be in even more trouble than they're already in. If that's possible.

[Filtered to Red Arrow]
You’ve been added to the system. The Bradbury Building is there if you’re in need of a place to stay, but considering that it’s currently being occupied by Static, Impulse and an early version of Superman, you might want something less rambunctious. If you need anything Oracle and I are here.

[Filtered to the Bradbury Building]
Everybody’s behaving, I hope?

[Filtered to Babs]
Terry isn’t allowed to leave the manor by himself anymore. I’m thinking about getting one of those shock collars for him.

I never realized it before but there are some really pretty, little shiny lights there on the ceiling.

[ooc: post post THIS and THIS. WHAT. HE WAS DUE FOR A DRUNK POST. D8]

You want the Joker gone. You think it’s as easy as snapping your fingers, pulling a trigger or using whatever impressive, show-stopping abilities you have and then walking away without a scratch on you. That’s fine. You go on thinking that. Waltz into his jail cell, kill him and then come find me. Tell me all about it and I’ll put you on a pedestal. He is everybody’s problem and just because I refuse to take his life doesn’t mean that you can’t.

But don’t you dare blame me or mine for the damage he causes, for the lives that he takes. He’s free game. I am not possessive of him. He’s only human, isn’t he? Where you come from, surely he would be dead and long gone by now.

It’s a pity that’s not the case.
