Nancy Gama will be entering her turtle named Elvis. Cause she thought it’d be funny for if he ever shows up to see her best friends reaction to having a turtle named after him.

Depending on how many turtles are entered I'll have a bracket system like with Fight Club...or something.

Then I'll roll dice to see who won.

Shawn knew he should have probably talked to Jules about buying a turtle, but Leo had excited him and he rushed out to get a turtle for the race. And so there he was with his new female turtle he dubbed Turtle Recall. Maybe it wasn't the most feminine of names, but women's equal rights and all that, right?

"Alright. You can do this. I've seen the competition and they don't hold a candle to you." He was lifting up his turtle and giving it a pep talk while they waited to be called to start the race.

Nancy knew she wasn’t exactly the most responsible person around, but it wasn’t like she was buying a puppy or anything. A turtle wasn’t a big deal and hey, the whole turtle racing seemed like fun. Maybe her ward would like a pet turtle after the race? For now, she was hoping her little guy won. She was still amused on naming it Elvis, knowing if her best friend ever showed up that he’d call her a little shit for using his name on a turtle.

Walking by, she heard the pep talk the guy was giving his turtle, and she blew a raspberry in his direction as if she was a child. Sometimes she sure as hell acted like one, and this was one of those times. “Dream on. Elvis here is going to smoke yours and I hope your turtle is ready to enjoy seeing the back of my turtle. Maybe you should take it home before it has to face defeat.” Nancy didn’t mean any of it, and was only having some fun. Getting herself all pumped up for the races, figuring it’d be a good time.

Shawn did a series of dramatic gasps and inhales like he was utterly and devastatingly shocked and appalled. This included him putting a hand on his chest all dramatically. "How dare you imply that Turtle Recall is not going to kick the grey and green butt of your turtle! Besides, you didn't even bedazzle him or give it a wig. Elvis would be rolling around his in his grave... or his bed depending if you believe he's still alive or not."

Nancy fought back the urge to laugh at the man and his serious of dramatic gasps and inhales, giving a glare as if she was super serious about this race. Was she? God no, this was just a way for her to try something new, have a little fun, and waste time around here. Didn’t mean she wasn’t going to have a little fun giving a hard time to some of the people joining in. ‘Oh I didn’t mean to imply that at all. I meant that very clearly so my apologizes for it not being made clear,” she stuck her tongue out with those fighting words. She could see her best friend rolling his eyes and face palming at how Nancy was acting right now, but it wasn’t like she was serious.

Though the tongue quickly vanished and replaced with a confused look for only a brief moment. Realizing the Elvis he was talking about as she shook her head. “The Elvis he’s named after would have a fit if I did that. Nope, this Elvis is my best friend back in my world and he may get distracted like the real one, but in the end he’ll be smoking Turtle Recall. There is also the factor that I don’t even know how to bedazzle,” she knew what it was but never tried anything like it and wasn’t about to do that to the turtle for her first time.

He lifted his chin dramatically as if to say 'how dare you sir' to the woman. He also brought his turtle close to him and started to pet it like it was more of a cat. "Don't listen to her, Recall. She's just trying to get under your adorably slimy skin."

"Wait, wait, wait." He held up his free hand. "You have a friend with the actual name of 'Elvis'?"

If Nancy wasn’t enjoying herself and having fun on giving this man a hard time, then she’d be laughing her ass off right now at the sight of how the grown man looked. Instead, Nancy was only encouraging more and being a little shit as many called her more times than she’d probably ever admit. “They don’t have the tough shell like we do, Elvis. They can’t handle what you’re ready to dish out in this race.” As if she even knew what the turtle was going to do. Nancy was figuring this would probably be the best part about the whole race considering it wasn’t exactly going to be a fast race.

Nancy shook her head at his question. “No, it’s what we all call him, and he goes by that name. His real name is Heliodoro Infante,” her Spanish accent showing even more than it already did with her words as she said his name. “But everyone calls him Elvis.” Nancy couldn’t even remember if she ever learned why when she was younger. All she knew was for as long as she could remember, that was the name she used along with everyone else.

Shawn covered his turtle's ears with one hand. Did turtles have ears? He'd have to ask Alexa when he got back to the apartment. Probably considering the Ninja Turtles had to listen to all of Splinter's lectures.

"... Alright well you get some cool points for having a friend named Elvis and for him knowing his other name is too long... though it would be good in a Telemundo episode. Helidoro Infffffante" He did his over-the-top Spanish soap opera accent.

“See he knows we’re dropping truth bombs about his turtle and it’s why he’s trying to keep it from hearing the cold hard truth,” she told her turtle as if it was really going to understand anything she was saying. It didn’t really matter whether her turtle backed up her trash talking or not since she was having fun regardless of winning or losing. This wasn’t some life or death challenge, making it so she really didn’t care one way or another about winning.

Nancy chuckled at the over-the-top Spanish accent. “I’ll take those cool points. Very few call him by his real name. And because I know he’ll get annoyed on how a turtle got his name, it was an easy choice.” Keta and Elvis were both like siblings to her, but she loved annoying Elvis much more than Keta. “Not bad on the accent, I’ll give you a 7.5. I’m Nancy,” she held out her turtle free hand, introducing herself to the man who was amusing her for the moment.

Shawn was no stranger to naming things and people and sometimes doing that because he knew it would bother the other person. It wasn't what he did with Gus - that he thought was simply hilarious - but others, it was most definitely more poking the tiger.

"Shawn. And thank you. I was once in a Spanish Soap you know. I was a heart throb. If you want an autograph, I can give you one." He said it and meant it even if he also didn't really sound serious. Of course, most of the time Shawn talked it didn't sound very serious.

Nancy was known for always poking people when she shouldn’t. In some cases, like with Keta and Elvis though more Elvis than Keta, it was because they were her family and it was what they did. No matter what they’d be there for one another. For Nancy, they were all she had, and no way would she ever do anything to risk that as they saved her and gave her a purpose in life. In most of the other cases, it was Nancy getting a rise and just being a little shit to stir the pot. Hey, she enjoyed causing drama and watching it unfold sometimes cause a girl needed some excitement.

“What soap? Only soaps I ever watched were the ones the nurses had on sometimes during the day to watch at the insane asylum rather than dealing with the patients.” Nancy spoke as if she was telling someone the weather. For her, it wasn’t a big deal and sometimes she forgot how people jumped to conclusions about her when they heard that. “May not have a Soap role to brag about, but I saved the world before ending up here. Though I might take you up on the autograph. I have no interest; however, it could be useful, if I find a way to get it home.” That is if the guy was in something the nurses watched it. Then again, maybe she could convince them and get herself some extra goodies with the trade.

Without missing a beat, Shawn replied with his dramatic accent once again. " Explosión Gigantesca de Rrrromance! It's Santa Barbara's most popular one. I played Chad, the handsome delivery man." He 'flicked' his hair back with just a motion of his head. Clearly he was a heart throb.

"Did you say insane asylum? Been to one of those too. Not as fun as a telenovella. But kudos to you on saving the world."

Nancy couldn’t help the small snort that came from her when Shawn decided to fo the whole flick his hair back thing. “The bad guys on those shows are the real hot ones,” she had a series expression even if she was only screwing with the poor guy. The show didn’t sound familiar but she knew enough from what she seen in passing to know what the characters were like. None of them really interested her; however, she couldn’t help herself on making it seem like the heart throb did nothing for her, and it was all the bad guy. “Would you ever do it again? Or are you retired from the soap game?”

Hearing someone else had been in one was rare, and she was a bit more curious. “How come? They are not all that bad, it’s got some great people you can meet. All in a day’s work and I couldn’t let the world win and be taken over by demons.” It wouldn’t have even stopped with her home, and the world couldn’t handle demons all over the place.

"I one-hundred-percent would do it again. I love the camera and the camera loves me." Shawn had a lot of confidence, at least. "Even if some people can't appreciate it." The implication was her since she didn't like heartthrobs, though he didn't sound hurt about it either.

"West Haven Psychiatric Center. Where the crazy rich people go." He had some fond memories of this. "Went in undercover to prove this rich guy who murdered a woman was pretending to me insane. Turns out he was insane, but he didn't actually kill the woman. "

“Did the camera tell you that?” Nancy never understood that saying on a camera loves someone. How does one know? She thought it was a stupid saying, but she heard it more than enough from people or more like overheard people saying it. The implication went over her head since her mind was already off on other things. Her short attention span striking once again.

A look of interest and a hint of impressed did show up. “That’s one way to find out what you needed to know. Those rich people centers are nice! I’ve only ever gone to the crappy ones that most people would rather avoid.” For a whole long list of reasons. “I usually check myself in when I’m needing a quiet place to sleep and a bed. They know me and they let me stay for a bit.” It was the one place where the voices would leave her alone so she could sleep. Though she hated some of the people who worked in that place, but she dealt with them sometimes in unpleasant ways.

“As fun as this chat has been,” and Nancy wasn’t being a smartass or sarcastic, she had enjoyed the chat, “I should let you get back to building up your turtle's hope before my little guy crushes his dream.” A big smile on her face to show now she was being a little shit.

Okay, after hearing about this 'turtle race' Jinx just had to check it out. Besides, what else was she going to do on Saturday? She couldn't drink beer, but she had bought a chocolate shake before making her way over to where the race was taking place.

As she approached, she could see people with turtles. There were a lot of turtles and despite her better judgement, Jinx actually thought some of them were cute. Kind of. She wondered if she could draw something on their backs with pink spray paint too, but lucky for them, she hadn't brought any this time.

She found a place off to the side to stand and sip her shake; her gaze remained trained on the track? This was so weird and Jinx knew a thing or two about weird.

Dick was pretty sure this was not something that was popular in Gotham. It could have been popular elsewhere - maybe Metropolis - but he had never heard of it. It seemed like an even that would take a long time to complete. Was that the point? He had no idea.

He decided to swing by the park to take a look. He didn't have a turtle of his own. He was surprised it seemed like a lot of people did. Would they continue to keep them as pets after?

Pushing the thought aside, he found a spot close to the girl with blue hair and watched. He glanced to the girl, then back to the track. "...Did I miss anything yet?"

Jinx glanced over at the man who claimed the spot beside her. Did he miss anything? Honestly, it was a turtle race and Jinx felt that you could walk away for an hour and probably miss nothing. Unless they planned on strapping rockets to the back of the turtles to make them move faster. Now that would be a race.

"No. You probably could have come an hour late and still missed nothing," Jinx replied, shrugging her shoulders. "This is so weird. Is it weird for you? I never had anything like turtle races back home." This was the first time she'd actually seen a live turtle too.

Had he been anyone else, he'd have laughed, but Dick's version of laughter with strangers was a small tug on his lips. But she was right and he was sure of it.

"It's very weird. I go between the idea that someone made this up off the top of their head and the fact that people are weird enough to think up a tradition like this as a whole." He wasn't sure which was better.

Jinx was too busy sipping her shake to pick up on the quirk of his lips at her comment. Though, it was nice to hear she wasn’t the only one that thought this entire situation sounded crazier than any scheme she’d ever produced. Watching turtles’ race? It sounded ridiculous and it took a lot for Jinx to consider anything as such.

“I feel like it had to be random. I mean someone was bored and just thought ‘let’s have turtles’ race today.’” Why couldn’t it be more like they were bored and decided to throw a competition for blowing things up? Now that would be fun.

"I can think of a dozen more interesting things than a turtle race... but Madison has a lot of different people and if you're stuck here long enough, I guess you have to come up with different ideas." Maybe he'd end up like this some day. He doubted it though. Bruce had talk him a lot and he could withstand a lot before he broke.

Jinx definitely didn’t want to end up like that. The thought of creating something like a turtle race to occupy her time upset the blue haired woman. There was no way she’d be here long enough to feel like that, right? Mylo laughed in her head, telling her that she would and that eventually she probably wouldn’t want to blow things up anymore either. These people would domesticate her. Jinx’s brows furrowed and she frowned.

“Shut up, Mylo. I will not end up like that.” And she was bound to accumulate a few awkward looks from that excalmation.

Dick caught the words that clearly weren't for her. He wasn't so crass as to look around for whoever this Mylo was. The one strange benefit of living in Gotham for as long as he had was you got used to people who talked to voices. It did mean, though, that this girl needed to have someone keep an eye on her.

Jinx had those voices since she'd been responsible for killing almost her entire family. They haunted her daily, tormenting her and sometimes comforting her. Jinx almost always responded out loud too which made her appear all the more crazy.

His introduction pulled her from her jumbled thoughts and she looked over at him again. Oh right. He asked if he was late to the turtle race. "Dick? That's a weird name." After a moment, she added.

"I'm Jinx."

He didn't look upset or annoyed. It was actually refreshing. People usually made dick jokes. "It's short for Richard. Dick is a nickname that stuck." He gave a small shrug as if to reaffirm it wasn't a big deal. He did think it was ionic that she said his name was weird when hers was Jinx.

"Nice to meet you." He paused, then offered, "Have you met Rachel Roth?"

Jinx had never heard of the name before. It was clearly something that people could find funny, but Jinx mostly thought it weird that someone would name anyone something that could potentially lead to such a nickname. But whatever.

"Weird nickname." Jinx replied simply. "And no, I don't think I've met anyone by that name."

Dick made a mental note to talk to Rachel about Jinx. He got the feeling Rachel could be a good influence... maybe.

"She's from my world and around your age." He ignored the 'weird nickname' comment easily. He wasn't really good at hinting that she and Rachel could be friends - again, maybe - so he sort of left the idea hanging there.

"Yeah, I've never heard of a Rachel." Maybe she ran into her on the network? It was possible. Jinx didn't necessarily keep track of everyone she met on the network. Given how people came and went here? It made things even more difficult and sometimes confusing.

He have her a small nod and a shrug at the same time as if to say 'I believe you, yep'. "Well if you ever meet her, give her a chance." This was the best he could do. He should probably practice this somehow. Somewhere Donna was laughing at him.

"I think I've seen enough excitement for one day." Meaning the turtles... sarcastically, of course. "If you stay around until the end, let me know who wins." It wasn't a real request unless she really wanted to report back to him. "It was nice to meet you, Jinx."

Jinx was paranoid towards everyone, but the guy seemed sincere about Rachel. Maybe she could give the other person a chance based on that.

"Uh, sure." Somehow, Jinx felt that he didn't really care what the outcome of the turtle race was. "And likewise, Dick." It still sounded like a really weird nickname to her.
