Noodles part 3

Today was my first day off in two weeks. WOOHOO!!! And I spent most of it writing. Lucky for you. Or, I should say: Lucky for Mom and Jenna, since they seem to be the only 2 people who actually read this blog. Nobody loves me...

And after that nice guilt trip, I present to you: Part 3!

(I've decided to put character info at the end of the story, so you can choose to read it or not.)

Gossip in the Watchtower: part 3

One week later…

Re: The Meeting

Superman and I have talked things over, and we decided to hold this meeting sooner rather than later. For the first time in years, there is a greater percentage of super-villains behind bars rather than rampaging on the streets. This does not mean we should sit back and relax. Instead, we should use this time to regroup and discuss long-term objectives and strategies. That is why we would like the entire Justice League (including all freelance and part-time Leaguers) to gather, one week from today. We will set the Watchtower to automatic alert so we can keep an eye on things. Also, the meeting will be held in Training Room 7, so we’ll all be on hand if anything happens. I encourage everyone to bring ideas for long-term strategy, as well as any suggestions for improvement of the League. DO NOT bring any grievances against other League members. If you have a problem which cannot be resolved amongst yourselves, talk to Flash. He is now head of Grievance Resolution Services and would be happy to listen to your complaints.

Looking forward to speaking with all of you at the meeting,
Batman

So…what are you wearing?

Re: Re: The Party

Um…right now?

Re: Re: Re: The Party

No, stupid. To the party.

PS- I know you lived a sheltered life on that all-girl-island of yours, but you’ve been out in the real world for a while now, so stop playing the “innocent princess” act.


To: Vixen
From: WonderWoman
Re: My attire

Black formal, full-length, halter top.


To: WonderWoman
From: Vixen
Re: What you should wear

No no no. Red strapless, empire waist. You know, the one that shows off your hourglass, with the slit up the side that’s practically indecent.

You should wear that one.


To: Vixen
From: WonderWoman
Re: Red dress

I don’t have shoes that go with that one.


To: WonderWoman
From: Vixen
Re: shoes

Girl, I will find you shoes if I have to utilize every contact in the fashion industry I have.


To: Superman
From: Question
Re: the party

Just out of curiosity, is this shindig for League members only? I mean, is Lois coming?

Someone has to ask the question.


To: Question
From: Superman
Re: Re: the party

Many League members will be attending the party out of costume. I wouldn’t want anyone to feel uncomfortable, so no outsiders will be permitted. And no, Lois isn’t coming. Some of us have only just begun to feel comfortable enough to reveal our secret identities, even to each other, and I don’t want to jeopardize that.

That being said…who did you want to bring?


To: Superman
From: Question
Re: Re: Re: the party

Huntress. I know she’s not technically still a part of the League, but I was hoping she would be permitted to attend anyway.

Someone has to ask the question.


To: Question
From: Superman
Re: Huntress

That’s fine. She can come. I’ve been meaning to bring up the subject of her rejoining the League for a while now, anyway. Besides, Nightwing and Batgirl are coming, and neither of them are members. Heck, even Batman still claims to be a “part-timer” and he’s definitely going to be there.

Speaking of which, why is it that none of the “Bat family” are technically part of the League?


To: Superman
From: Question
Re: The Bat Family

To answer your question: because they all have serious issues.

Someone also has to answer the question.


To: Batman

Re: Grievance Resolution Services.

You are so dead for that.

From: Vigilante
Re: Complaint against Shining Knight

Yeah, I’d like to file an official complaint. Shining Knight said that Clint Eastwood was not a good example of a hero. COME ON!! Who could possibly be more heroic than CLINT EASTWOOD????!!!!!

PS- Are you and Big Blue still gonna race?


To: Vigilante
From: Flash
Re: Your complaint.

Do you have any idea how many people want to file complaints against other League members? Even the Fastest Man Alive can’t keep up! Can’t you and Shining Knight just work this out on your own? You too are supposed to be friends!

PS- Yeah, the race is on. But we’ve got to keep it quiet, so don’t spread it around, yet. We’ll be sending out mass invites when we’ve set a date.

From: Supergirl
Re: The party

OK, I talked to Vixen, and she’s in on the plan. Everything hinges on this party, though, so we better make sure nothing gets screwed up. Are you sure that Luthor is safely locked away in jail? Cause I don’t want him breaking out and wreaking havoc right before the big night. It would be just like him to ruin everything. And the Joker, what about him? I think he can sense it whenever Bats gets even the slightest bit less grouchy…

PS- Who are you taking to the party?


To: Supergirl
From: Robin
Re: Re: The party

I’ve checked about a hundred times. Luthor is still tucked away in his maximum security cell, and the Joker is locked up at Arkham. I even looked in on Harley Quinn. Everything is going to be fine. Alfred, Nightwing, and Batgirl are in on it too. Don’t worry so much.

PS- That is none of your business.

PPS- Why, do you know someone I should ask?

You are such an idiot.

Re: the party

Hey Robin!
What do you think about this whole party-thing? Pretty cool, huh? Should be fun. I know I could really use the downtime. It seems like we never get to see each other…

I was thinking about what you said the other day when we were hanging out with Supergirl. About how we, as teenage heroes, have had to sacrifice our childhoods. And how we’ve had to grow up too fast in some ways, but in other ways, we’re still just kids. Anyway, I…uh, was just thinking about that. Yeah…

So, I guess I’ll see you at the party?

Looking forward to seeing you,
Courtney

Now do you know who you should ask? Dumbass.


To: Supergirl
From: Robin
Re: my messages

HOW DID YOU GET THAT?? THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PRIVATE!

PS- Are you saying I should ask Star…I mean, Courtney?


To: Robin
From: Supergirl
Re: Duh.

Flash hacked into the system. How else do you think he changed his user name? Of course, he’s had to change it back now, because of the Big Bad Bat. But don’t tell anyone that Flash figured out how to intercept other people’s messages. Batman would NOT be happy.

PS- She’s been flirting with you for months, stupid. Cut her some slack and ask her out already.

To: Supergirl
From: Robin
Re: an idea

Flash can hack into the system? Hmmm…that gives me an idea.

Re: A cunning plan.

Hey Flash,
Wanna help Kara and me get Bruce to lighten up?


To: Robin
From: Flash
Re: Re: A cunning plan.

Will it make him stop ruining all my fun?


To: Flash
From: Robin
Re: Re: Re: A cunning plan.

If everything goes according to plan. And for that, we need you. Are you in?


To: Robin
From: Flash
Re: the plan.

I’m listening…


To Be Continued...

What is this "cunning plan"? How can Flash help? Will Flash get back at Batman for putting him in charge of the Grievance Resolution Service? Find out next time!

Character Info:
-Huntress, AKA Helena Bertinelli:

Originally, this character was Helena Wayne, the daughter of Batman and Catwoman, who becomes a crime fighter to avenge her mother's death. However, later versions of the character changed that, and she became the daughter of a mob boss who was murdered in front of her by a rival mob boss. After which, she swore revenge and became Huntress. She uses weapons (primarily a crossbow) but has no superpowers. In JLU the show, she was part of the League until she attempted to kill the man who had killed her father. She was thrown out of the League, but remained "friendly" with the Question, and helped the League by helping him.

-The Question, AKA Vic Sage:

A conspiracy theorist, much along the same lines as Mulder in X-Files, the Question battles corrupt governments as a faceless detective. A scientist friend of his developed a synthetic skin-like substance which the Question uses to hide his identity. He also has a special chemical that adheres the substance to his face, changes his hair color, and the color of his clothes all in one. Wikipedia has this to say: The Question of the DC Animated Universe is a completely obsessive, darkly comic loner — skeptical, eccentric, paranoid, antagonistic and unpredictable. He is often given to believing in various odd conspiracy theories and is suspicious of even his fellow League members, yet (or perhaps due to that) he is one of the Justice League's best detectives. At one point, he mentions that Supergirl eats peanut butter sandwiches before going to bed, to which she asks him if he goes through her trash: he responds, "Please... I go through everyone's trash." In one episode, he is seen investigating a warehouse where he finds that Baskin Robins is concealing their 32nd flavor. He believes that the true purpose of aglets (those plastic things on the ends of shoelaces) is "sinister". I would love to see a spin-off show about him and Huntress. They make a cute couple.

-Vixen, AKA Mari Jiwe McCabe:

One of the first black female characters to have a solo comic, Vixen can mimic the attributes of any animal she can think of. She can run as fast as a cheetah, swim as well as a dolphin, etc. She and John Stewart (Green Lantern) have been dating since John and Shayera (Hawkgirl) broke up. She acknowledges that Shayera still has feelings for John (and that he may still have feelings for Shayera) but is confident in her relationship with him. When she's not having cat fights with Hawkgirl, she's on the cat walk, earning money in her career as a model. Ha ha, get it?

-Vigilante, AKA Unknown:

He is never shown out of costume in the show, and in looking him up on wikipedia, I found that he has had several different incarnations over the years. Basically, he's a cowboy who rides a motorcycle, uses a pair of revolvers and a lasso, and wears a red handkerchief which covers his nose and mouth, protecting his identity. In several episodes, he is shown with the Shining Knight (who I'll get to in a minute) either fighting bad guys together or just hanging out. He has a Texas accent.

-Shining Knight, AKA Sir Justin:

A real knight from the round table at Camelot, Sir Justin has a magic sword which was given to him by Merlin and a winged horse named Victory. He was frozen in a block of ice until recently, and is trying to live in modern times even when they confuse and bamboozle him. He has a strong sense of nobility and loyalty, something which often gets him into arguments with Vigilante, who is a little more lax.

And I'm sure that all of that was way too much information. In fact, this post has become far too long, and I should really be in bed now. Enjoy!
