Helpline part 2 “Why the hell is a child here?” Hall yelled! Constantine rolled his eyes, “Age is relative … tho even by demon standards I assume you’re rather young eh Sheila ?”
The demon pouted, “My name isn’t Sheila, I told you call me Konstelacio!”
“Right my apologies.”
Damian sneered,”Idiot.” Only to have Dick elbow him,”Don’t.”
“Now then! What do you need?” The girl crossed her arms and slowly paced by the edge of the circle.
“Wait wait hold up! What is the Infinite Realms?”
Demon girl kept on examining the circle, “Exactly what it sounds like.”
“What are you?”
“Rude”
“How old are you?”
“Depends”
“I thought this spell was supposed to be random?”
Dick groaned, “Wally-“ Zatanna put her hand up, “Hold on that actually is an important question. Why did you show up?”
The demons face contorted. “Uh because it’s my job?” Her hands coming up to her chest.
“How do you get a job like this Konstelacio ? This doesn’t exactly seem like a safe job for a kid?” Superman pondered.
She shrugged, “Eh, community service.”
The heroes gapped. Hal’s ring shone, “And what exactly does a demon have to do to be sentenced with community service?”
“None of your business!!!” The girl grew flustered shoulders tensing.
“Was it a violent crime?” Batman questioned
“That’s it I’m leaving!” She stepped closer to the middle of the circle “You humans are so rude!!!”
“Wait wait,” Constantine pleaded “I apologize on behalf of my colleagues. They have simply never met anyone as…” weird, different, odd “magnificent as you o great one!”
She hummed, “Oh no! The Great One is my uncle!!!”
Uncle? What did that even mean?!?! John was gonna have a heart attack at this rate.
“Yes well please don’t leave we truly do need your assistance!”
Batman cleared his throat, “We were trying to reach someone to help us with several world ending threats that have appeared.”
“Yes, you said that you were uh a helpline? Could you connect us with someone else?” Superman spoke in a kind tone.
“Well duh” the girl relaxed, “You need to actually talk about the issue tho and what exactly it is you’re looking for these things can be tricky.”
“Tell me about it. ….ow”
Batman continued, “ There seems to be some sort of disease spreading everywhere as well as a monster running rampant.”
“If it’s a magical monster why not have your magic users take care of it?”
“Captain Marvel and Dr Fate are both currently of world. We also think the disease may also be magic in nature.” Superman butted in.
The demons eyes lit up at the mention of the Captain only to turn to stone right after. Interesting thought Damian this might be useful information.
“ Alright then I’ll need as much info on these issues as I can! Tho I already do have a few ideas on who to contact about it!”
“This is the monster,” Aquaman pulled up photos of a blue glowing dragon in a gold amulet on screen. “It first appeared in Atlantis wreaking havoc in it wake as it took over the mainland along the coast of California. Our magicians were in able to harm it at all! One second it was there the next gone.”
“Uuughgghhhh Aragon!”
Necks almost broke looking back at her.
“Oh great you two know each other,” Constantine’s voice began to rise in pitch, “lovely.”
“What is he? My magic barely did anything to him too!” Zatanna asked
“Yeah,” Wally backed her up, “We couldn’t do anything against that thing!”
“He’s not a thing! He is a ghost his name is Arragon!”
Flash paled, “A ghost?? That thing couldn’t be a ghost !”
“That’s it I’m leaving! You are being rude again!”
John ran towards the circle, “Wait wait hold on now..”
“You are all being so rude! We are people! We have sentience Aragon is a person!” Red hot anger flushed her cheeks as her eyes wavered.
Flash went up to the circle, “You’re right you’re right it’s my fault entirely I’m sorry! Konstelacio!” Barry felt awful the young girl reminded him of Wally before the adoption. Sad and joking. Sad and demanding to be seen for what they are.
“Yeah whatever,” she looked away, “what about the illness ?”
“It started around the same time as the mons- as Aragon arrived. The illness seems to be random causing deterioration of the skin and violent outbursts,” Batman threw the file over the ring of the circle, “Here’s more info.”
“Hhhmm I’m going to be honest I don’t understand half of this stuff. You said it might be magic based?”
WonderWoman nodded, “ Yes I use to hear tales of something similar back on Themyscira. Supposedly it is one of the illnesses Pandora released from her box.”
“Well why didn’t you start with that ? I’m sure NanaDora will be happy to help!”

Who should I infect with Vampire Fog????
Leave me your suggestions !!!
There are certain truths to life:
Batman was always going to exist.
Danny was always going to have a connection to ghosts.
And Vlad will always get his heart broken in the end- really he should have know. Better.
- Wherein Bruce Wayne and Vlad Masters fall in love.
But Plasmius and Batman despise each other.
- Vlad really thought he had found the one this time charming, lovingly ditzy, and much like himself a serial adopter!
And if Bruce’s looks reminded him of Jack, and his sharp whit reminded him of Maddie well it’s not as if Vlad had anyone to tell.
Vlad only had himself to blame really, he had been to blind to see it to stupidly love struck to connect the dots.
Scars nether of them mentioned, they’re respective children being a bit - unusual, running away at awkward times.
The paranoia came later, the insistence on keeping him safe, the begging to have his wizard friend look over his ‘magical’ children “just in case”. The Justice league- Batman- the contingency plans.
Even then Vlad could make a thousand excuses, he could even forgive. The same way he had with….But nothing could go back to the way things were.
Being concerned about his son klarion was reasonable, his clone sons understandable really, his demon daughter (if she hadn’t gotten hurt) mildly fair, but targeting Billy crossed a line!
Dear tumbler
There’s this trope I don’t know the name of but have been super in love with recently.
So essentially- a fan dies and wakes up in the book they love (but not a self insert) !
I’ve read a few on Tapas and love it!
If anyone knows what that’s called please leave a comment I’d really appreciate it!!!
Sincerely Lanterns :)
Please sir may I have some more???
Damian: Father, you’ll be glad to know that I’ve made friends. I won’t be available tomorrow because I’m going to meet them
Bruce: I’m glad. what will you do?
Damian: We’re going to organize a murder
Bruce:
Family Discussions
My sister has decided to make rules for Thanksgiving since we will be having it at her house for the first time.
There’s typical stuff: no politics, no fighting, no Black Friday shopping, make food on time ectra. And then there’s stuff that makes me rethink our family dinamics :
No talking about lawn culture.
No putting the cats on high places.
No chair stacking.
No sleeping on the floor.
No fighting over the whip cream.
Update: the word cloaca is banned.
No debating whether it’s said Mario or Mario.
No talking about ships especially Tolkien ones.
No “pretending” to turn dinner into an intervention. - Again.
Not me thinking you were leading with “saving Jimmy Olsen” into some rare pair. Cuz Jimmy/Dan would be HILARIOUS XD I can just imagine Clark finding out Dan is a world ending threat and suddenly treating Jimmy like that friend/rebellious teen that dates the bad boy with a bike.
Dan works in the Metropolis Police Department and is frequently on scene helping with crowd control during Superman battles.
It starts with saving Jimmy Olsen from a piece of falling rubble. Then helping Lois into the barricaded off Superman fight zone because Dan can tell she’ll get through them no matter what for her story, he might as well go with her and at least be sure she’s safe. Then he helps evacuate an out of control plane that Superman had safely slowed down and gently landed.
It felt like a blink of an eye but suddenly Dan was a part of the small circle of civilians that Superman interacts with daily.
Okay but imagine Jed is trying to learn to read? Maybe even for Octavius because he doesn’t feel good enough but also….
Octavius: oh I didn’t know you ….
Jed: oh just learning actually after get a knack for all that texting lingo I figured I’d give it a try
*internal screams because of course he wouldn’t want a stupid cowboy who can’t even read when he’s a literal general*
Octavius: oh that’s wonderful
* legitimately proud and smitten with the idea arhat Jed is always trying new things and to improve*
Jed: yeah I just wish the letters would stop moving around the page
Octavius: …. What?

Ghost Helpline Part 1
Constantine wasn’t upset no no of course not … he was fucking pissed!!!
How on earth was this his life now??? He grabbed as many totems and charms as he could. They were going to need as much luck as they could get their hands on.
-
“Bloody fucking Hell this is by far the worst idea I have ever heard and I want absolutely no part of it!!!”
“John”
“Don’t you John me Z! This is obviously a bad idea!!!”
WonderWoman sighed, “We understand the risks but we are out of options.”
“Pppfff as if we wanted you here in the first place pal”
“Hal!”
“What it’s true if this spell? Summoning? Offering? What ever the hell it’s called didn’t require two magicians we would have just let Zatanna do it!”
“Stop it everyone we cannot be fighting amongst ourselves right now! We have to be ready for anything that happens and whoever decides to help us.” Superman crossed his arms. “Uh question, I get the whole dabbling in magical creatures equal bad but uhhh who or what are we doing exactly?” Wally said offhandedly to Robin(Dick)
“That’s just the thing … we don’t know this Circle is essentially an open invitation to anyone who can help us,” Zatanna sighed “Which means we have to be ready for the worst including whatever it is this creature may want in exchange.” “Oh yeah,” John huffed “Our first born, blood of a virgin, Superman’s soul totally nothing we need to worry about or take to mean We. should. Not. Do. this! !”
Batman ‘cleverly’ choose that moment to walk in, “Alright then start it up.”
Magic is always hard to describe; the colors, and motion like something out a fantasy but this ? This was inexplicable as the candles rose to the ceiling, smoke filled their eyes and the sound of, well -some kind- of animal shook their ears. Then as fast as it came it was gone, as they adjusted to the scene they saw who now occupied the middle of the circle.
Horns
“Bollocks it just had to be a devil.”
Black hair sloppily put into twin buns, held together by … twine???
Superman’s eyebrows creased in slight confusion.
Tan skin painted black in the pattern of an old broken glass on their arms.
Flash stilled next to his nephew.
A scar from a blade ran across one half of their face.
WonderWoman lowered her lasso.
Gold eyes.
Zatanna felt uncomfortable.
There in the circle stood what they would all guess to be a 12 maybe 14 year old???
Batman’s stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable.
“What the ….-“
“Hello Mortals! You have reached the Infinite Realms HelpLine! You may call me Konstelacio! How may I be of assistance?”

- Kim thinking/talking to Lloyd
< Lloyd to Kim
Lloyd and Kim were for as long as they could remember the same person, at least where it mattered. That is until they grew up, Kim chalking it up to a story a comforting idea of escaping poverty but now that he was reunited with Lloyd he was going to do whatever it took to get them their slacker dream!
Lloyd new he had been withdrawing into themselves too much. The barony was getting suspicious, not that they knew the real him anyway. He knew he should come out more if only to save Kim the embarrassment but Lloyd didn’t want to move. They were all better off without him, Kim too.
Kim wrapped his arms around their body in the only hug he could provide Lloyd.
-Don’t think like that Lloyd! It will all work out! I’m going to make us so much money!
Their body began to sway and hum
- How about we sing a song a song about all the bad things to help you let go of it all?
Lloyd smiled, he didn’t think it would work but Kim had been the only one to ever try. Even his personal servants who had cared for him, believed him and been on his side could comfort him. Left him eventually but Kim was different Kim wouldn’t leave.
When I'm away from you, I'm happier than ever
The barons family were all together, that is except Lloyd, when their discussion stoped. They were astonished, who knew Lloyd could sing?
Javier frowned to himself, how had he never heard Lloyds voice like this before?
Wish I could explain it better
What was Lloyd taking about?
Javier’s stomach twisted someone had hurt Lloyd! But when? They were always together ! A dark part of his mind laughed “always together” you really are a sorry excuse for a knight, you never even entered the bar with Lloyd before there are million different ways he could have gotten hurt! And. You. Weren’t. There! Let’s face it you only care now because Lloyds useful you’re as bad as the rest of them!
I wish it wasn't true
Give me a day or two to think of something clever
Julien looked at his parents in worry, what was happening? Lloyd wasn’t a sad person, what is up with this stupid song!
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do, mm-mmm
Do you read my interviews?
Arcos shock his head yes yes of course he read every paper his son was in! He wanted to know how well Lloyd was doing now, but Lloyd never looked him in the eye anymore spent years calling him “baron” and not father.
When you (when you) said you were passing through
Was I even on your way?
It was true that they had never been a close family but wasn’t it better now that Lloyd had stopped drinking ? Why did he still run away from them???
I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)
Be cool about what I was telling you
Arcos felt a rush of cold hit him. How often had Lloyd asked him to talk begged him not to be angry so he could explain.. how many times had he turned his own son away.
You'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do (what you said you'd do)
Arcos felt tears prick at his eyes, he had thought Lloyd had been mature in understanding that being a Baron was busy work but it had hurt him all the same. His eyes widened in shock was this what Lloyd was doing ? Avoiding him, preoccupying himself in so much work he’s have an excuse not to talk with them ?
And I'd end up more afraid
Javier clenched his fist, afraid of what? Whatever it was he would deal with it for Lloyd, he’d do anything for him.
Don't say it isn't fair
You clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable
The four stood there in silence, listening to Lloyds voice crack as he took a gasp of break. What, what have we done?
So if you really wanna know
Yes they wanted to know, Arcos needed to know how to make this right.
When I'm away from you (when I'm away from you)
I'm happier than ever (happier than ever)
Javier couldn’t stand it Lloyd couldn’t leave!
Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn't true (wish it wasn't true), mmm-mmm
Julien was enraged! What did Lloyd have to be upset about anyway! He was the one who became a raging drunk and left him to pick up all the pieces!
I call you again, drunk outta my head
Going home under the influence
Marabella smiled fondly there had been times Lloyd had made sure to reassure her after his drinking sprees. Telling her exactly where he was and acting good for his past escorts. But of course he had to go to far and start throwing fights. Sigh.
I don't relate to you
I don't relate to you, no
Arcos felt the pain in his chest twist, his apology hadn’t been enough had it.
'Cause I'd never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city
Did Lloyd truly hate their home so much ? Is that why he need so much money and go on dangerous trips to other places did he want to leave so badly?
And I don't talk shit about you in the bar
Never told anyone anything bad
'Cause that shit's embarrassing, you were my everything
Julien and Javier were astonished enough at that. Why wouldn’t Lloyd especially if he was drunk? Was Lloyd even while angry still looking out for their house’s reputation?
And all that you did was make me fucking sad
Arcos cried he didn’t know he didn’t know
Why didn’t Lloyd say anything
So don't waste the time I don't have
And don't try to make me feel bad
Why didn’t Lloyd confined in any of them?!?
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I'd have an empty line 'cause you never did
Oh because no one would have listened, no one would have taken his side. No one would have believed him
Never paid any mind to my servants or friends
So I shut 'em all out for you 'cause I was a kid
Arcos tried to stifle his tears, his oldest had only been a child. A child born a month too soon in a barony too poor to a mother without a drop of nobility to her name.
You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone
Marabella begun to cry with her husband, Lloyd hates us doesn’t he?
I started drinking a month ago
Lloyd must of written this song years ago. Was this perhaps why he started drinking???
Your friends are mine, you know, I know
You've moved on, found someone new
Arcos shifted his feet, Lloyd couldn’t possibly be talking about him taking in Javier could he? He had heard other nobles hurl insults about him replacing his first born even how Javier was much better than his hooligan first born but he had waved it all alway, Javier needed him.
One more son who brings out the better in you
He was talking about him then the Baron couldn’t understand hadn’t her raised Lloyd to care for the less fortunate?
And I thought my heart was detached
From all the sunlight of our past
Marabella felt sick they had begun to ignore Lloyd when Julian and Javier came into their lives but they had only hoped it would serve to have Lloyd stop his awful behavior. She had never thought it would hurt him so badly. The baroness had assumed Lloyd was simply angry about the family changing, but he wasn’t he was heartbroken.
But he's so sweet, he's so kind
Does he mean you forgot about me?
Arcos hadn’t how could he when he was always worrying about him! He just didn’t have enough time but that was beginning to fall apart in his head after all he had made time for Julian and Javier hadn’t he?
Oh, I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
Javier leaned onto a nearby side-table, is this why Lloyd had been so cruel to him as children?
I'm selfish, I know, I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier
Arcos openly wept, “hush dear,” his wife patted his shoulder “we must see this threw to the end”
And do you tell him he's the most beautiful boy you've ever seen?
Yes the whole house had been very open with giving the children compliments, but when was the last time Lloyd had received one before changing?
When had anyone ever called Lloyd handsome?
An eternal love bullshit you know you'll never mean
Remember when I believed you meant it when you said it first to me?
Marabella collapsed in a chair next to her husband, “Arcos, Arcos when had been the last time we told Lloyd we loved him?”
And now I'm pickin' him apart
Javier understood how Lloyd would have been lashing out as a child now, how the both had been hating one another to look better in front of the Baron. But then why did Lloyd suddenly become close ? Why did he suddenly care for Javier? Perhaps he gave up on gaining familial love, burying the hatchet with Javier the only way he knew how, by not addressing the past at all.
Like cuttin' him down will make you miss my wretched heart
Julian began to understand, and he begun to feel badly for his brother but still he was just so angry at Lloyd !
They looked at each other as Lloyds song finished.
What were they going to do now? And as they pondered it they could hear Lloyd sniffling to himself, as if he was picking up the pieces after breaking down.
Then a whisper to three of them, a yell to Javier’s ears they heard Lloyd speak.
“Huh I guess I do fell a little better now! We should do this more often lolz! Goodnight Kim, I love you.”
…
…
…
Javier’s hand broke the side table, “Who the fuck is Kim????”
