DC Drabbles

by Jadeile

A collection of drabbles, mostly about Batman and/or the Flash (Wally). Mostly gen, but you're free to wear your shipping goggles, and sometimes the ship is actually blatant. The chapters are disconnected unless implied otherwise. I write mostly cute, fluff, and humor, but I definitely like hurt/comfort and occasionally enjoy angst.

I use the prompt word (chapter titles) as a thing that will get me started with the writing and give me some sort of idea to work with. I'm not trying to stay true to the word during the actual writing process, so sometimes the result will have little to do with the word itself. Take the chapter names with a grain of salt.

Like everyone on the DC fandom, I cherry pick my way through the canons to take what I like and glitter glue them together to make the result all nice and pretty. So while this is mostly based on the Justice League ( Unlimited) cartoon, I might use other sources whenever I feel like it. Although these will most likely be general enough that it doesn't really matter.

While taking his teammates to a pizzeria to celebrate a successful operation to save the world, Batman found himself very thankful for his abundance of earthly possessions. If he weren't a billionaire, he would never be able to afford to feed the Flash; at least, not in the long run.

He couldn't help but wonder how Wally managed to keep himself fed.

In fact, the longer he thought about it, and watched the Flash make plate upon plate of pizza vanish into the black hole that he referred to as his mouth, the more contemplative he found himself. And worried. Could the Flash actually keep himself fed? He was rather thin, now that Batman actually looked. Of course, some of it was an illusion caused by the amount of muscle on the man, and fat would never be able to take a hold of someone with a hyperactive metabolism. But even so, the speedster could use to gain a bit more weight; to eat more than he already did on a more regular basis.

In the end, Batman skipped the part where he would check whether or not Wally's job paid enough to be able to feed him properly, and just went straight to the part where a few different delivery services started to deliver big parcels of food to his doorstep every day.

He admitted nothing when the Flash asked around the tower about it, and just secretly felt pleased when Wally slowly but surely started to look healthier.
