Drabbles requests for the meme thing
Jun. 11th, 2008 12:03 amSo I'm going to do these now and if someone else wants to get in on the fun you can find the meme a couple entries down.
The dull, hard sound of leather on flesh rang through the air as another blow from Huntress connected with a hapless thug's jaw. Question barely registered the noise since his own task commanded too much of his attention. He almost had the solution. Almost.
"Could use some help here, Q," said Huntress as she turned and grabbed the hand of a thug, wrenching his weapon from his grasp. Two very stiff kicks hit his ribcage before Huntress neatly flipped him over. Question didn't look up from the book in front of him, pencil gripped firmly in one hand.
"I've almost got this one," assured Question absently, "You have things under control."
"I never should've given you that stupid book," muttered Huntress, "That's the last time I ever take any advice from Batman." Buying gifts for Question was almost impossible so Huntress had asked Batman for help, thinking that he could have some insight. He had recommended a book called World's Greatest Brain-Teasers. It apparently lived up to its name.
"You're disrupting my concentration," reminded Question.
"Trust me," retorted Huntress as she finished her task, "In a few seconds I plan on 'disrupting' a lot more than that."
"I'm not being Leonardo," states Pietro as he looks at Toad, "Why did we agree to do this in the first place?"
"C'mon," whines Toad, "You said I could pick the Halloween costumes this year so I did. Don't you remember the awesomeness that was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"
"Yeah, I remember it," admits Pietro, "I remember that nobody ever wanted to be Leonardo."
"Tough crap," says Lance as he adjusts the red piece of cloth serving as his mask, "You lost the draw so you're stuck with being the Scott Summers of the Ninja Turtles."
"Hey it could be worse," reminds Pietro, "Wanda's coming with us, isn't she?"
"Uhm, well," says Toad as he nervously grins at his older teammate, "You see, the thing is that . . ."
"Someone better get on their knees and pray to all that's holy!" shouts Wanda, "There is no way in hell I'm wearing this God-awful, yellow jumpsuit!"
