Summary:Sort of based on Heather's, the relationship between the JD stand in and the Veronica stand in is platonic though the JD one has a crush on the other
Dorothy sits in the driver's seat of her car, she tries to focus on the road but the Panic of her girlfriend Ophelia in the passenger seat finally gets to her and she yells
" can you shut up!", she smashes the brakes and has to take a couple deep breaths before meekly apologizing
" at least tell me what the hell's going on, who was that guy!" Ophelia pleads to which Dorothy just looks into the rear view mirror and begins to explain
...
It was earlier that year that she met William Watt, though a lot of people just called him Willie, but Dorothy thought William was a much cooler name
the two of them bonded over many things, like their shared status as nerds and and both of them having powers
for a while things were pretty casual between them they were friends, they had to be friends, the age Gap was too disgusting for them to be anything else
it's doing the month before prom that Dorothy notices something's up, Williams been texting her about her preferences and things like chocolate and flowers, she reasons that maybe he's found a girl he's trying to court and is seeking advice from her seeing as she's the only girl he has a positive relationship with
all the hope that it isn't her he's trying to court his dashed on the first day of the month leading up to the prom, she doesn't even know why he asks her, she doesn't even go to Gotham high she's in college, he knows that
but still there he is with the flowers she said she liked, and the brand of chocolate she sometimes binges with her girlfriend, he doesn't know she has a girlfriend, she should have told him, why didn't she tell him
she says no, she says every reason why she won't and can't be with him, he apologizes sheepishly and she hopes he doesn't try anything stupid
once again hopes of shattered when on the night of the prom he shows up again at her apartment, not at the door but inside, her first instinct is to run to her room to make distance between them, then the banging starts paused in between by his mad rambling of how they're meant to be together, and how he's going to get rid of the people keeping them apart
he made a bomb, he's going to go to go from high and he's going to blow it to smithereens, he's going to make it like
she thinks Maybe if she makes him think she did something drastic he'll rethink everything, grabbing one of his scarves he ties it to the ceiling lamp, he finds the nearest chair and stands upon it
she ties the scarf into a noose tight enough to hold but not enough to choke, when William busted the door she kicks the chair
...
"Then it jumped out a window when you came by to visit, I don't think I changed his mind, he's still going to do it Ophelia, we have to stop him" do if he finishes her explanation as they drive to go from high
both her and Ophelia just sitting silence the rest of the way there
...
In the bowels of Gotham High there's a boiler, it's wigged up with a bomb, this bomb is a trigger for thermal bombs upstairs in the gymnasium, Williams just about to put the final digit on the detonation counter when The Voice of Dorothy splits the silence
"put down the bomb", turning he finds she brandishes a gun, and behind her that foul Pig daring to call herself his darling Dorothy's beloved stands terrified looking upon the site
don't you understand I'm doing this-. But he's cut off by a shout of " don't you dare try to defend yourself, I thought you were cool, I thought we could just be friends" Dorothy clenches her eyes to try and hold back the tears
"we could never be friends Dorothy, because I love you" he please but his Declaration of love only hardens her eyes and she points her gun straight to his head
" that's the problem, you love me, but what you're feeling is wrong, It Isn't Love, it's just a boner"
"and you know what real love is, fooling yourself with that whale" he interjects lazily pointing the gun he holds near Ophelia who trying to unheat in the situation Walks from behind Dorothy
" Hey listen guys maybe was just sit down and try to-" but her attempt at diplomacy is dashed with William Ames his gun at her and shoots
luckily Dorothy pushes her side but the bullet does go through one of her fingers, and the room is filled with her pain Panic screaming
" oh my God!, look what you've done" Dorothy screams pulling out some napkins from her pocket and wrapping it around Ophelia's bleeding finger stump, when the bleeding finger stump is sufficiently quelled for the time being Dorothy gets up from the ground and begins yelling at William again
" if you really loved me you wouldn't fucking shot her, Now give me that fucking bomb!", she screams as she lunges for the bomb he still has under his armpit, The Tackle knocks the gun from his hand and the two begin wrestling for the explosive device, their jostling lowers the time counter until finally William is the one who Victorious with the bomb wrestling, but when he looks down he that is Victorious pool has activated the bomb was only a couple second left
quickly he throws it and with a boom it jostles Loose some pipes, quickly he uses his telekinesis to try and hold back the pipes but there are too many and it begins to struggle as Dorothy rushes over to Ophelia bring her to her legs
"let's get out of here", the halfway up the basement stairs on door if he turns back to see that William still struggling with the pipes and his telekinetic hold
"come on William, just send them elsewhere and we can try to talk this out more calmly somewhere else"
he's just about to but, another pipe finally Jiggles free impacting into his head and sending him to the floor and soon after all the pipes he was holding
"oh God!". Ophelia screams as jewelry quickly rushes them up the stairs
...
Turns out William isn't dead just a couple broken bones
after some much needed talks about things, he came to the realization that yes he still does love Dorothy it's just their love just isn't very good for either of them
that would be that if Dorothy didn't have a plan to make both of them happy. They can still have the people they love and still be buddies
" hey Daddy-O, you still got that Android replica of me as a teenager" Dorothy says casually to her father Jervis who's reading the morning paper
" Yes dear why do you ask?" he inquires as he loves the paper and gets his answer in the Sheepish wave of a black haired boy
"oh, another one, I would have thought ever since you got that wonderful girlfriend of yours this nonsense would have stopped" he says annoyedly as he leads both his daughter and William to the basement
"I just don't know what they see in you, not to be rude sweetie, but you're not exactly well and doubt" Jervis continues as he waves from his seat at a giant computer terminal, which connects to a ginormous device holding most likely Android copies of Dorothy in many different age ranges, the newest being around teenagerhood
" nah you right Dad, I don't get it either, but considering the types of people they're most likely desperate for love" Dorothy he responds casually as she turns to William
" so Will, you want your personal me to be interested in sex or no"
"yeah, I like that"
" well you have fun with that, don't go at it too much though you might break it, big guy" do a few teases playfully hitting William in the side
