Ipod shuffle challenge
I haven't been able to write much on my stories lately so I thought I'd do a shuffle challenge to get started, and it was actually really fun. It wasn't until after I was done with this that I realised that most of the drabbles are about love, it was honestly completely unintentional. I tried to use as many characters as possible, but some characters are just so fun to write that I had to use them more than once. Each drabble is 100 words, including the lyrics from the song(though I sometimes removed something from the lyrics to make it fit). enjoy :)
#1
~i know, i know, i know - tegan and sara~
"Tell them this love hasn't changed me, hasn't changed me at all"
Bruce sat in the cafeteria, looking at Diana talking to Clark. They were laughing and... god, she was so beautiful when she laughed. And when she fought, and when she was angry and her eyes narrowed in that way and when.. Bruce straightened in his seat and chastised himself. He couldn't allow himself to become weak, to let Diana become his weakness. He was Batman, he had to be strong and strike fear in the hearts of criminals. Loving Diana hadn't changed him. Or so he told himself.

~Misery – maroon 5~
"It's not what I didn't feel,
It's what I didn't show"
John lay in bed, his arms around Mari. She was snoring lightly just as she always did. John was thinking about how content he should be feeling right now, lying in his bed with his girlfriend in his arms. Today there had been no dangers to the earth's population so they had spent the day watching films and cuddling. He like films, he liked cuddling. So why was he still thinking about Shayera? Mari stirred "John?" John tightened his grip around her "I'm here babe". But for how long?
#3
~Victim of the city – Duné~
"He surrenders almost everyday
He hopes to fade away"
Roy was obsessed, addicted. But this time it wasn't heroin. It was something different and far, far worse.
Cheshire. Just thinking about her made him shudder. He knew he shouldn't, knew he was betraying everything he stood for, everything the league stood for. But... he just couldn't stop.
Every night he met up with her, Cheshire. And every night he lost himself in her green eyes, in everything she was. She always left when they were done, even though he begged and pleaded. He was addicted, but he no longer cared.

~Harder than you think – the floor is made of lava~
"Make fun of my flaws, but when you're fooling around it ain't foolish at all"
Jinx laughed a lot, usually at him. But Kid Flash didn't mind, hearing her laugh was worth almost anything. He was just happy that she had started to laugh more. When she had first moved in with him because she had nowhere else to go, she had been sad a lot. He could tell though she'd tried to hide it. He hated seeing her sad, so when she laughed whenever he did something stupid he wasn't embarrassed or angry, just happy to hear her laugh.
#5
~Love game – Lady Gaga~
"Just want to touch you for a minute
Maybe three seconds is enough for my heart to quit it"
Every time Roy waited for Cheshire to show up, he swore it would be the last time. But when he got to touch her(finally) he knew he'd never be able to stop. She drove him crazy with her breathy moans and the smell of her skin. But when he was lying on the bed in whatever hotel room they had used and she was about to leave, he always begged her to stay. Deep down he knew he'd never quit her.
#6
~Stan – Eminem ft. Dido~
"your picture on my wall.
It reminds me that it's not so bad"
Sometimes J'onn thought he was about to lose it. Whenever he had any spare time his mind would torture him with blurry memories of the family he no longer had, of his extinct home world. So he kept himself busy. It was worst when he slept, the nightmares were unrelenting. And when he woke, choking on tears, he knew. Knew he couldn't keep going. But then, he'd look to his wall and the picture taken back when the league was young. And suddenly, things weren't so bad.
#7
~Erase me – Kid Cudi ft. Kanye West~
"I [..]keep on running
[..]nothing works
I can't get away from you"
Flash was in trouble – like "Supes'll kill me" trouble. He was in love with Kara, and she was in love with him. Normally that'd be good, but Kara was young – and indestructible – so she couldn't understand why they couldn't have a relationship: Supes'd kill him. And in her stubbornness she was driving Flash crazy. She flirted with other men in front of him, and Flash was burning with jealousy. If this continued he'd eventually kiss her, and then he'd be in trouble. But damn, if it wasn't tempting.
#8
~All we are – One republic~
"All we are, all we are, is everything that's right"
Whenever the Question was with Huntress he felt right. It was absolutely amazing and unexplainable. He was probably the most screwed up person in the league, and she would've taken second place if she hadn't been kicked out. But god, she made him feel so good. Everything just fell into place when she was near him, and for once he didn't care about the whys: She was incredible and he loved her like crazy. But the most amazing and wondrous thing was that she claimed to love him as well.
#9
~Protect me from what I want – Placebo~
"Maybe we're victims of fate
now we're all alone"
Shayera loved John; in fact she loved him very much. So when Carter Hall had tried to convince her that the two of them were destined lovers, she hadn't believed him for even a second.
But for just the smallest fraction of a second she had been tempted to believe him, to leave all the hurt and pain between her and John behind her – to let Carter fix it all.
But she knew that in the end, they were all just victims of fate. Destined to be miserable and alone.

~Cry – Jason Walker~
"So we'll just cry, cry
on each other's shoulders"
Kara cried. Ma Kent cried. Pa Kent cried. Everyone in the church cried. Clark was dead, Superman was gone. Forever. Kara couldn't understand it, wouldn't understand it. He couldn't be gone. Her sweet boy scout-like cousin, her brother in all ways but one. He couldn't be dead, that was impossible. But he was dead. Pa Kent put his arm around Kara and Ma, and drew them close. Kara's silent crying turned into full-blown wailing as her foster-father held her. None of them said "it'll be alright". They all knew it wouldn't
aww, poor Kara :( good thing Superman came back. Actually I almost cried when I wrote no. 10 because it hasn't been that long since my grandmother died...
anyways, I hope you enjoyed this. Please review :) If you want me to write a drabble on a specific song/theme/character/pairing please let me know :)
