A/N: My tenth set of these! I hope you guys like. Please review and feel free to suggest as many words as you like.


Luck

Conner didn't believe in luck. Cadmus had taught him that it was useless, Batman said it was unreliable at best, and M'gaan seemed to treat it as if it was one of those fanciful features of those television shows she liked. However, he found himself rethinking this philosophy just a bit when Superman appeared at Mount Justice, declaring that Black Canary was otherwise occupied for the week and he would be their combat instructor in her place.

Ploy

"Is this some kind of secret devious plot?"

"What?"

"No, of course not!"

"Yeah, who said anything about it being a secret?"

Functional

Being weaponless did not render them helpless, it just meant that a takedown would require a more hands-on approach than usual.

Confidence

M'gaan had none whatsoever, Conner hardly understood the concept of it, Artemis only ever showed how much she had if it was opportune for her, Wally had too much and Robin seemed to have a little bit of it on him at all times. But no matter how much confidence his teammates had, Kaldur would easily acknowledge that the lot of them made up a fantastic group of the most competent young superheroes in the world.

Fuller

There was something about watching Artemis from afar as she fussed over her bountiful hair and tried to pull it all into a ponytail. It was just so...distracting. He'd watch her out of the corner of his eye as she roughly ran a brush through the locks again and again, each time leaving a different shiny pattern on the mottled gold. The shorter pieces would curl up around her shoulders and frame her face in the most appealing way that really, it'd be criminal of him to look away. And the Fastest Boy Alive is strictly on the side of the heroes, despite his less-than-commendable thoughts whenever he caught a glimpse of her with a hairbrush.

Initiate

"He started it!"

Weekend

The only days of the week that mattered to him were Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Unless, of course, it was summertime and he wasn't exactly sure what day it was.

Memory

Being able to make the distinction between images he had seen for himself before and ones that had been implanted in his mind when he was...created had never been difficult for Superboy. Legitimate memories looked different; they had a sort of faded quality to them like a blurry photograph with slightly tattered edges, but most importantly was the feeling he got whenever they appeared to him late at night or a during a time when he let his mind wander. They felt real.

Alteration

For a brief while, Kid Flash jumped on the bandwagon and wore a bright red cape with his uniform. It matched just fine and didn't look completely ridiculous or anything, but when he donned it for the first time just before a mission then moved to run and ended up falling flat on his face before he even started running, the vibrant superhero staple was never seen again in his possession.

Seat

Aside from M'gaan's spot in front of the controls, there were no assigned seats in the Bioship. This quickly changed after Kaldur was absent for a mission and returned only to discover the aircraft in near ruins due to an incident that no one seemed keen on talking about. Though, he discovered a multitude of empty Pixy Sticks in the trash can and Robin, Wally, and M'gaan all seemed very jumpy.

Conduct

Behavior wasn't one of the many things that Batman lectured them on upon the formation of their team. All he had ever said about the topic was that he didn't think it was necessary to tell them how to behave properly as they should already know. It marked one of the only times in history that the Caped Crusader had been dead wrong about something.

Bomb

They had only managed to get hit with the rearmost part of the blast. A little bit of singed spandex and some minor burns wasn't about to bother them, what with the fact that they couldn't find the rest of their team and everything. They were supposed to be right behind them.

Lighter

The sun rose. It was a beautiful day and as always, he woke up wondering if he should have stayed.

Breathing

Artemis and Robin frequently found themselves in a situation where they had to rescue their friends from imminent death, probably due to something silly like not having superpowers. It was customary in those types of situations for Artemis to start freaking out. As always, she would be on the verge of a breakdown, and as always, Robin would slowly reel her to a safe place, reminding her that the trick to it all was to just keep breathing. If you just keep breathing, they can hurt you as much as they want, but they'll never be able to finish the job.

Caring

If Roy had become an expert at one thing since going off on his own, it was learning to not care about anything or anyone. Despite this newfound belief, his heart lunged into his throat when Ollie called him, claiming that two close friends were badly hurt. The duo maintained that they didn't need anything, but that didn't stop either of them from muttering a familiar name in their sleep.

Arithmetic

One of the few things about the surface world that Kaldur could never really get a handle on was mathematics. He didn't want to get a handle on it, either. People seemed to rely on it far too much.

Line

A small feud that had broken out among teammates led to a line of white chalk being drawn on the floor of the mountain and one side being for boys only while the other side was for girls only. This arrangement didn't last long, partly because the girls didn't stay angry with the boys, and partly because the boys surrendered pretty swiftly when they realized all of the bathrooms were on the girls' side.

Story

When Wally was put in creative writing class during his junior year of high school, he was absolutely convinced he would fail, but then he remembered that he might just have a few good stories to tell.

Smooth

Their mission was to extract information from a moody foreign princess without blowing their covers and they were failing miserably. Despite their best efforts, Wally, Conner, and Kaldur couldn't charm it out of her, so naturally they were surprised when Robin had his go and came back five minutes later smirking and waving a small piece of paper in the air. The only explanation he had to offer was a shrug and flippant statement that he couldn't help being so très mignon et charmant.

Cattle

"Cows...cows...cows...oh look, more cows!"

"Think you want to go out there and hang out with them?"

"No way."

"Then shut up!"

Clinic

There was definitely something ironic about getting slammed face-first through the front doors of a hospital. Maybe he'd get around to thinking about what that something might be when the stars swirling beneath his eyelids stop looking so interesting.

Promise

"I won't let you get hurt."

Nightmares - Suggested by .

M'gaan had been under the impression for a while now that there wouldn't be a single problem with letting Robin hunker down for a nap while she was around if he didn't talk in his sleep.

Brunettes - Suggested by ZS

There were no brunettes on the team until the day Artemis dyed her hair. This change didn't last long as she quickly started to miss her blond locks, and if the way Wally would pointedly not look at her like he usually did when she sat down on the couch to do her hair told her anything, it was that she wasn't the only one.

Comfort - Suggested by .

His soothing words and firm hugs spoke volumes about how much he cared for her as a friend, but she couldn't help but feel that his plopping down next to her on the couch and not even attempting to say a single word spoke just a little bit louder sometimes.

Hatred - Suggested by batman-defeats-all

Hate was a dangerous emotion in their business. He knew this. It could lead to all kinds of horrible actions that one was probably not even aware they were capable of. He also knew this. He could be kicked out of the League before he was even a member. He knew this too, probably better than he needed to. Regardless, none of this knowledge was about to stop him from doing what he felt needed to be done. It didn't matter who the culprit turned out to be; when he found out who ate all of his snacks before he got to the mountain, they would pay.

Anniversary - Suggested by .

Conner forgot his and M'gaan's one year anniversary and thought for some strange reason that it would be a good idea to go to Wally and ask how he could come up with a good gift in a matter of hours. As it happens, his idea that he could bake something for her wasn't a totally awful one...in theory.

Acrobat - Suggested by .

"Man, what do I look like, an acrobat?"

"..."

"Yeah, okay, I got it! Quit rubbing it in!"

Vivacious - Suggested by Hooloovooshift-Speedster

They disagreed on much, but one thing that all of the boys on the team seemed to agree on was the opinion that Wonder Woman was absolutely gorgeous. In turn, the girls all rather suddenly agreed that they just couldn't see the appeal.

Injured - Suggested by .

Battle wounds were a part of the job. So long as you could pick yourself up and keep fighting, they weren't a big deal. If you couldn't, it still wasn't a big deal; someone else would surely carry you.
